Mingshi

Chapter 1523
"What?"

"Gao Gong wants to use me as a spearman, and Xu Jie wants to make me arouse public anger."

Yun Zhiqiu thought for a while, nodded and said, "Gao Gong used you as a spearman, I understand that. But why did Xu Jie make you arouse public anger?"

"This is a big investigation every six years. Everyone who is an official doesn't want to be held accountable. And once held accountable, they will feel wronged. Everyone else is doing that, so why arrest me?
So this matter can easily arouse public outrage, especially if I deliberately find trouble with Xu Dang, if Xu Jie is setting up several traps, fueling the flames behind the scenes, I can't escape even if I want to. "

"What should I do?"

"Official business."

"It's a matter of business!" Yun Zhiqiu said with a worried expression between his eyebrows: "It's not easy to handle. There will be many people begging you, and there will be people who will trade with you. This is originally a good opportunity for trading. Expand the influence of our Fuxing Society. In this way, we will not only fail to achieve our original purpose, but may also offend some people."

"If you are offended, you will be offended." Luo Xin said seriously: "We are still weak now, don't think about expanding our influence, but aim for a firm foothold. If you are eager for success, you may be like a shooting star."

"Yes!" Yun Zhiqiu nodded helplessly.

Luo Xin started to get busy, for the assessment by the Ministry of Officials, there was no big or small detail, the seriousness made Gao Gong and Xu Jie feel helpless.Gao Gong's helplessness is that Luo Xin is completely business-like and selfless.Not only those who were caught by Xu Dang were caught, but those who were caught by Gao Dang were not spared. Even Luo Xin's own people were caught and dealt with severely.This made Gao Gong speechless.Luo Xin was like this, and he couldn't hold back to intercede, but the displeasure in his heart was certain.

I, Gao Gong, entrusted you with such an important job, don't you know how to repay me?
Not bad!

I used you as a gun, but no one is qualified to be my high-arching gun, is it?

And Xu Jie was also depressed, Luo Xin's attitude made it impossible for him to plot against Luo Xin.But when he thought that Luo Xin didn't target him, and he kept his own strength, so that he didn't feel ashamed in front of his subordinates, and his hearts were not scattered, he felt some comfort.

So busy until the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, the cabinet had its last meeting, and it was considered as the end of this year's work.Walking out of the meeting room, Gao Gong said to Luo with a smile:
"Go and sit with me."

Luo Xin naturally followed Gao Gong, the two entered the room, Wang Xijue came in and poured tea, and then retreated.Gao Gong took a sip of tea and said to Luo:
"You missed this opportunity for nothing."

Naturally, Luo Xin knew that Gao Gong was referring to the matter of being in charge of the official assessment, so he smiled wryly and shook his head:
"Being targeted by Xu Jie, if I arouse public outrage, even if I am not kicked out of the cabinet, I will be demoted to sit behind Zhang Juzheng."

Gao Gong was stunned for a moment, and then he also reacted.The displeasure towards Luo Xin dissipated in his heart, but a trace of guilt arose instead.

This is my inconsiderate thinking!

"By the way, I heard from Yuan Yu that he occasionally heard Zhang Juzheng and Xu Jie talking about Baochao. You can analyze it for me. What do they mean?"

Luo's heart trembled, this was something that Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng couldn't solve the money shortage, were they going to adopt Zhang Juzheng's idea and issue new treasure notes?

But he remained calm on the surface, his heart was spinning rapidly, and in less than a breath, he decided not to say anything.Once he said Zhang Juzheng's intentions, he felt that Gao Gong had a [-]% chance of agreeing to issue new banknotes.Because this is the only way to solve the money shortage, at least in Gao Gong's view, this is the only way.In this way, Gao Gong will strike first.This is not the result that Luo Xin wanted.

So he said with a blank look on his face: "Precious banknotes? Does anyone still recognize precious banknotes?"

"So, I'm confused too! But it's impossible for Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng to be bored enough to chat about precious money. I suspect it has something to do with the shortage of money."

Luo Xin frowned and thought for a while, but finally shook his head.

"Forget it!" Gao Gong shook his head and said, "Let's talk about it after a good year..."

Speaking of this, he looked at Luo Dao expectantly again: "No, you are an expert in financial management. Now that there is a shortage of money, is there anything you can do?"

Luo Xin smiled wryly and said: "At least there is no way now, Mr. Ge, you also know that these days, I not only have to deal with the affairs of the Ministry of Officials, but also the affairs of the Ministry of Rites. You don't even have a crack in your head, how can you have the energy to think about the money shortage?"

"Then you think about it now?" Gao Gong looked at Luo Xin expectantly.

Luo Xin slapped his forehead and said, "Master Ge, do you really think I'm the God of Wealth?"

A look of disappointment appeared in Gao Gong's eyes, but he still tried his best to say: "Take a rest for two days, and then help to think of a solution."

Luo Xin just glanced at him, thinking to himself, why?
I work for you?
We're just an alliance, okay?
White envoy?
Gao Gong also saw the meaning of Luo Xin's look, and the look on his face was a little embarrassing. At this time, he had realized that Luo Xin had passed away, and he was also a cabinet scholar, okay?Even though it's worse than him, it's still a first-class one, okay?

Besides, Luo Xin no longer owes him any favors. You recommended Luo Xin to join the cabinet, but Luo Xin also fought for you to go to the pillar country, okay?
You're not one of your subordinates, and you don't owe you favors, so why do you make people like this?

Gao Gong smashed his mouth, his face was very helpless, and he chatted with Luo Xin for a few more words, Luo Xin got up and said goodbye.

After Luo Xin went back, his heart became heavy.He knew that once Zhang Juzheng had nowhere to go, he would definitely propose new banknotes, and no one could resist this temptation.It will be too late to stop it at that time, and it must be stopped in advance.

But how to stop it?
Luo Xin couldn't think of a way for the time being.

never mind!

Chinese New Year is approaching, let's rest for a few days, maybe with a clear head, we can come up with a solution.And even if Zhang Juzheng wanted to propose a new banknote, it would have to be after the new year.

but……

Luo Xin wanted to rest for a few days, but he really didn't get it.This is his first year in the cabinet. Even if there is no major investigation every six years, he is still very popular. Too many people will come to him to pay New Year's greetings and connect with each other.Especially since he is still in charge of the Ministry of Officials this year, the news of the assessment has not been announced, and too many people come to him to inquire about the news.

New Year's greetings should be done as early as possible, so in the early morning of the first day of the new year, there was a large queue in front of the gate of the Luo Mansion. All the officials were well-dressed, holding famous thorns, and carrying gold and silver in their arms. Naturally, the gold and silver were not gifts, but I want to give a red envelope to Luo Xin's son Luo Yu.
