At this time, Luo Xin had no choice but to speak, and hurriedly saluted: "It's not a weapon to let down the old man's wrong love."

"Hehe... let's not talk about this, come, sit down!"

At this time, Luo Zhi and Tao Xingyan in the Imperial Academy also received a notice from Zhang Juzheng, and happily went straight to the Yuanmeng database.When Zhou Yu, Xu Shixing and Zhang Xun saw it when they pushed the door open, they couldn't help but be taken aback and said:

"Why are you free today? How many of them are there?"

"A few of them are still studying. We were transferred here to work with you to rewrite "Yuan History." Tao Xingyan said excitedly.

"Is it recommended by someone?" Zhou Yu asked.

"Yes!" Luo Zhi nodded.

Everyone laughed, feeling deeply in their smiles that getting along with Luo Xin was the most correct thing they did in their life.Not only was Luo Xin able to break free, but he was also able to take care of such brothers, which made them feel confident.

Besides, Luo Xin, since he worked in the cabinet, he has a feeling of being an official.This feeling is not in the Hanlin Academy.

A small secretary, the role is not small.For example, if there is a dispute between officials, the secretary will go to question him.At this time, Luo Xin's role came to the fore. Even if he didn't say bad things about that official, but which official he said first and which official he said later, Emperor Jiajing would have a preconceived feeling, so all the officials in the capital understood Luo Xin's point of view. usefulness.

Therefore, these officials tried their best to make friends with Luo Xin.Moreover, Luo Xin's status is even higher than that of Ding Shimei, who is also the secretary. Although Ding Shimei won the champion earlier than Luo Xin, he is only the champion.And Luo Xin is not only the number one scholar, but also a great Confucian, and a Marquis of Wu.It can be said that Luo Xin's status is the highest among all the officers.

Therefore, those big and small officials invited Luo Xin to the banquet for various reasons.There are various reasons, such as having children, taking concubines and so on.

Of course, gifts are indispensable. Although there are no large sums of money to give gifts, there are many people who can't afford to give gifts. This makes Luo Xin's family fortune accumulate rapidly in a short period of time.

Of course Luo Xin accepted the gift with a smile, because he knew that if he didn't accept the gift, he would offend the giver. With Luo Xin's current status, if he dared to refuse the gift, those people would turn their eyes to revenge because of their uneasiness.Then he managed to step on Luo Xin.

It has been fifteen days since Luo Xin came to the cabinet. He learned from the military newspaper sent back from Datong that Ma Fang arrived in Datong in time, and then [-] reinforcements also arrived in Datong. Ma Fang commanded the frontier army to hold on to Datong. , Huang Taiji has been kept out of Datong so far.

only……

The situation is still precarious, because there is a problem with the deployment of the nine northern towns to form mobile reinforcements, which is actually a matter of wrangling.Neither party's commander-in-chief is willing to send his soldiers out.What if Huang Taiji suddenly attacked them?
It is said that the transferred frontier army will form a mobile reinforcement army, but what if it is too late to rescue?
It is better to keep your own soldiers in your own hands.

However, this is an order issued by Emperor Jiajing, and it is not easy for the general soldiers to disobey it.
So the general soldiers from all over the country picked out the old, weak, sick and disabled and sent them to Ma Fang.How can such soldiers fight?Not only could they not fight, but they had to take care of their food, which made Ma Fang extremely angry.

However, his prestige in the frontier is gone, because his direct descendants have been transferred to the southeast by Emperor Jiajing, and Ma Fang's hair turned half gray overnight.

Beijing.

It's the end of July now, and it's unbearably hot.Luo Xin walked towards the office room, just walking with empty hands, which made Luo Xin sweat through his clothes.

Looking at the elders' room, Luo Xin sighed softly.There are ice cubes in the rooms of those elders to cool off the heat. Those ice cubes are hidden in the ice cellar in winter, and when they are taken out in summer, there are only a few of them. They are only provided to the elders. Little boss.

When they came to the place where the chief executives were working, and opened the door, they felt a sweltering heat rushing towards them.Their office room is not spacious, but there are eight people working in it, and it is airtight, so you can imagine how hot it will be.

Looking at the seven people inside, a wry smile appeared on Luo Xin's face.The seven people inside didn't care about gentlemanly demeanor at all at this time. The seven people not only took off their official uniforms, but also took off their middle clothes. The seven shirtless people also held a fan in their hands. When they heard the door knock and saw Luo Xin coming in, they laughed one by one:

"No, take it off now."

Luo Xin nodded, first came to his desk and sat down, picked up a bowl of tea and drank it down in one gulp, not a trace of elegance at all, but no one laughed.Putting down the tea bowl, he took off his official uniform, and then his wet middle coat, revealing his muscular upper body.Everyone shook their heads and said:

"No matter how young you are, this body, tsk tsk, is really enviable!"

Luo Xin wiped the sweat off his body and said, "It's useless, it's just as hot."

"Hahaha……"

The people in the room laughed together, and Ding Shimei fanned her fan and said, "Why have you been here for so long?"

Luo Xin tightened his expression and said, "Tomorrow the court will discuss it."

"Tingyi? For what?"

"Isn't it about the war in the north and the Japanese pirates in the southeast? These two aspects have reached the level of burning eyebrows. If we don't solve them, we may cause chaos!"

Everyone was stunned, and someone said after a while: "I hope the court can figure out a way. Sigh..."

Originally, the room was stuffy and hot, but now knowing that there will be a court meeting tomorrow, these people feel even more irritable.The cattail fan swayed loudly.Luo Xin sat there, but after a while, he felt his butt was wet, it was unbearably hot.

"Ah..." Ding Shimei sighed and said, "The elders in the pavilion have ice to cool off the heat, if only we could have a piece of ice in the house."

"You are so beautiful!" Someone said: "That is the treatment that only Ge Lao can enjoy."

Luo Xin was startled suddenly, slapped his thigh suddenly, and secretly scolded himself for being confused.Icemaking has long existed in this era.

"What's the matter, isn't it?" Seeing Luo Xin slapping his thigh suddenly, everyone couldn't help but look over.

"I'll make ice." Luo Xin said with a smile on his face.

"Can you get ice?" Everyone looked at Luo Xin happily.

"We can make ice."

"Alas..." Everyone sighed and said, "I can't buy saltpeter!"

"Huh?" Luo Xin looked at everyone in surprise.

Ding Shimei smiled and said, "Using saltpeter to make ice has existed since the Tang Dynasty. How could we not know how to use saltpeter to make ice? It's just that the saltpeter on the street is out of stock and can't be bought at all."

"Then bear it!" Luo Xin said dejectedly.Everyone didn't speak, and continued to work, waving cattail fans one by one.
