Chapter 653
Thank you so much my friend Nanshanzhu (100) for your tip!

At this time, above the lobby, the three classes of yamen servants had already stood still, and the six clerks had arrived. Luo Xin passed through the second hall and entered the lobby. With a sweep of his gaze, a sense of dictatorship arose in his heart. Read it, this is no different from the emperor's court, the only difference is that the officials waiting for Luo Xin here are too low-level, and cannot be compared with those officials of the emperor's court.

Luo Xinzhong walked through the middle, and walked up to the square platform above the ground. On the square platform, there was a large and heavy table, on which were placed the four treasures of the study, and a stick.Luo Xin sat on the chair, and heard the following officials pay homage:
"Meet your lord."

This definitely gives people a visual and auditory impact, which makes people float.Not only did Luo Xin secretly think, no wonder those big officials who have been in charge of the frontier for a long time are called Tu Emperors. I am afraid that they themselves think of themselves as Tu Emperors in their hearts, right?
Looking at the person standing below, Luo Xin did not simplify his yamen just because he was only in charge of the Shipping Department.Before he left the capital, he had made an agreement with Emperor Jiajing that he would have all the yamen that he should have, because the Shibo Department would be involved in all aspects in the future, such as grain arrest, punishment, taxation, photo milling, registration, account, etc. There are army craftsmen, couriers, horse herds, warehouses, canals, ditches, roads, etc. at the gates of the yamen. Looking at the group of people standing below, Luo Xin not only nodded, no matter how capable these people are, this Song Danian always I put together a team for you, without cutting corners.

"Everyone, by now you should already know that our main task is the Department of Shipbuilding, so when you go back, think about how you can assist the Department of Shipbuilding with the things you are responsible for. After finishing writing, send them to the second hall. , this can also be regarded as an assessment for you."

"Examination!"

Everyone's heart was tense, and they all said that there were three fires when the new official took office, but they didn't expect that the first fire would burn on their heads.All of them frowned while thinking and went back to their yamen room to continue thinking about how to write.

"My lord!" After everyone else left, Wang Ziren, the seventh-rank pusher in charge of the Ministry of Punishment, stayed behind.Luo Xin glanced at him and said:

"What's the matter?"

"My lord!" Wang Ziren said with a wry smile on his face, "Since the previous acquaintance left, there have been more than 100 criminal cases so far, what do you think, my lord?"

Luo Xin frowned slightly and said, "How did you deal with it before this time?"

"The usual practice is that the criminal cases that can be handled by the counties will be issued, and those that can be handed over to the province will be handed over. The remaining criminal cases will depend on the wishes of the adults."

Luo Xin couldn't help but frowned and said, "What do you mean by looking at me?"

"This..." Wang Ziren hesitated for a moment and said, "Criminal cases that embarrass you can be suppressed."

"Is this the way to be an official?" Luo Xin said lightly.

Wang Ziren looked awkwardly and said: "Nowadays the southeast is like this, the common people are suffering! My lord, which ordinary people do you think will come to complain if they are forced to die? But...they don't know, even if they file a complaint, they may not be able to sue. win."

Hearing this, Luo Xin couldn't help shaking his head.With a heavy look on his face, he said: "If this kind of atmosphere is not eliminated, so what if we can wipe out the Japanese pirates?"

"What does the lord mean?"

Luo Xin waved his hand weakly and said: "You will clean up all the cases that you say, and then send someone to the prefect. Your Majesty's order for me is that I, a fellow prefect, only take care of the Shibosi, and do nothing else. Allow me to intervene."

There was a trace of disappointment in Wang Ziren's eyes, but after thinking about it, His Majesty has already drawn a range for Luo Xin, even if Luo Xin has great ability, would he still dare to resist the order and be disrespectful?

Thinking of this, my heart was full of disappointment, I bowed my hands to Luo Xin listlessly, and went down.Sitting on the chair, Luo Xin was bored for a while.

This Ming Dynasty is really rotten from the south to the north!

He stood up, walked out of the lobby, and came to the second hall.Spreading the map on the table, Lu Daqing made tea for Luo Xin and stood aside to wait. Luo Xin leaned on his chin and looked at the chart, thinking to himself:
"Waiting to occupy Taiwan Island, will Japan also be beheaded?" Luo Xin frowned slightly and said, "If you want to occupy Japan, this king is a big problem!"

after lunch.

Officials such as the scribes of the Sixth House sent their suggestions to the Second Hall one after another, and Luo Xin read them one by one.A smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth. Some of these suggestions are good, but most of them are very naive in Luo Xin's opinion.But between the lines, Luo Xin could see the seriousness and enthusiasm of these people.

Just be serious and passionate!

Luo Xin was finally relieved, as the saying goes, one must first settle down when fighting against the outside world.If the people in one's own yamen cannot be united, passionate, and not serious enough, then there is no need to open the municipal bureau, and no external force is required. Internal friction is enough to close the municipal bureau.

Of course, Luo Xin also firmly believes that there are spies in the Shibo Department. These spies either come from aristocratic families, or come from the prefect Song Danian, or there are other forces.

Luo Xin leaned back on the chair, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a murderous intent flashed in the slits of his eyes.

"Don't let me catch you, or death is the only way for you."

At this time, Wang Ziren came in again, bowed and said:
"The humble job has seen adults."

"What's the matter?"

"Humble job... humble job... what will you do in the future?"

"Ok?"

Wang Ziren said with a bitter face: "This case has been handed over to the magistrate, so what will we do in the torture room?"

Luo Xin was amused when he heard it, it turned out that Wang Ziren was afraid that he would have nothing to do.

that's true!
Regardless of whether it is a high official or a small official, once there is nothing to do, it is a loose official. Without power, there will naturally be no status.

This morning, he just cheered them up, and all the officials were busy there, but he, Wang Zi, was fine. I'm afraid his subordinates are also complaining about him right now?
You can't dampen people's enthusiasm, you must find work for them.Luo Xin pondered for a while, then smiled and said:

"Old Wang, come and sit down."

"I dare not to be humble."

"If you are told to sit, you will sit."

"As long as the adults arrange jobs for the humble job, it's fine to stand."

"Okay, then you stand there!" Luo Xin smiled wryly, "I'll tell you about your work."

"Hey!" Wang Ziren's spirit lifted.

"Old Wang, you not only have work to do, but also a heavy task! I was really afraid that you would not be able to handle it at that time, or that you were not fair enough, or that you didn't have enough courage!"

Wang Ziren's heart trembled when he was told by Luo Xin, but when he thought of the pitiful eyes his companions looked at him just now, and the unwilling eyes his subordinates looked at him, he remembered that everyone else was busy and busy, so he just had nothing to do.Then he said with a heartbeat:

"My lord, don't worry, I have the guts to be humble, and I must be fair."

"Okay!" Luo Xin said solemnly, "Sit!"

"Thank you, sir!" This time, Wang Ziren sat down immediately, and his expression was extremely serious.

"Tomorrow we will start the establishment of the Shipbuilding Department. There will be many things happening here and there. Inside, I do not allow any corrupt officials to exist, so this part will be handed over to you. These people are your colleagues. , can you be just?"

"Yes!" Wang Ziren nodded immediately, but then hesitantly said: "My lord..."

"you say!"

"May I ask your lord to issue an order first, this will also serve as a warning and make them less likely to make mistakes."

"This is the meaning of the question!" Luo Xin nodded.

"A humble job must do things with all my heart." Wang Ziren began to express his determination.

"Well!" Luo Xin nodded and said: "Outside, we will definitely involve various things and touch the interests of all aspects when we establish the Shibo Department. Anyone who dares to infringe the Shibo Department must be severely punished. The matter is going to you, do you have the guts?"

A moment of hesitation flashed across Wang Ziren's expression, Luo Xin looked at him lightly and said, "Why? Don't you have the guts?"

"No!" Wang Ziren shook his head and said, "I'm worried that if there is a conflict with other forces, such as aristocratic families, we will not be enough people in the punishment room."

"Don't worry about this!" Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "Don't forget, I still have [-] soldiers under my command. If [-] soldiers are not enough, there are nearly [-] soldiers in the east and west cities."

Wang Ziren's eyes lit up and he said, "You can rest assured about this humble job. My lord, don't worry, this humble job will definitely complete the task."

"Go ahead, clean up your torture chamber first, you need to be strong yourself to forge the iron!"

"Yes, my lord." Wang Ziren got up and saluted, and retreated towards the door.

"That's right!" Luo Xin called Wang Ziren again and said, "Notify all the rooms, wait for me in the lobby after half an hour."

"Yes, my lord!"

After a while, He Nian walked in.

"grown ups!"

"sit!"

"Yes, my lord!"

"Master He, do you think the morale is okay?"

"Shang Ke!" He Nian said with a smile on his face: "Your Excellency's words will be effective immediately. It's just that I had a chat with Mr. Wang just now, and I don't know what to say or not to say."

"Tell me, I'm waiting for your advice."

"Don't dare!" He Nian glanced at Luo Xin, saw that Luo Xin was looking at him sincerely, and said:

"My lord, the officialdom in the southeast has been corrupted to the root. My lord does not allow the existence of corrupt officials, but with that little salary... it's not that I can't live on, but it's just too hard. Seeing other officials eating fish and meat, our side No one can persevere by eating chaff and swallowing vegetables. At that time, I am afraid that morale will be very low, and no one will serve adults wholeheartedly."

"I see!"

Luo Xin nodded. In fact, Luo Xin knew this very well. The Ming Dynasty started from Zhu Yuanzhang, and he didn't know whether Zhu Yuanzhang had a hard background or what. He set very low salaries for officials.As far as salaries are concerned, most officials in Ming Dynasty lived a hard life, and I am afraid that they would not be able to eat meat a few times a month.

"But..." He Nian said worriedly: "If the officials are allowed to be greedy, it will also mess up the Shibo Department."

Luo Xin thought for a while and said, "Then let's form a system."

"What kind of system?" He Nian asked.

"Let me think!"

Luo Xin narrowed his eyes slightly, seeing Luo Xin thinking about something, He Nian stopped talking and sat there silently.I don't know how long it has passed, there was a sound of footsteps, Luo Xin opened his eyes, and saw Wang Ziren walking in and saluted:
"My lord, everyone is here."

"Ok!"

Luo Xin gave a "hmm", stood up from the chair, and walked towards the lobby, followed by He Nian and Wang Ziren.When I came to the lobby and sat down on the first seat, there was a cry from below:
"See you sir!"

"Get up!"

Luo Xin said calmly, and when everyone stood up straight and lined up on both sides, Luo Xin's gaze swept over everyone's face in turn.A faint smile appeared on his face, he shook the stack of papers in front of him, and then said on the table:

"I read what you wrote, and I saw your seriousness and passion. I am very happy."

When everyone heard this, their hearts were relieved, and smiles appeared on their faces.However, Luo Xin's expression darkened afterwards and he said:

"However, there are still a lot of selfishness in your proposal, or you have not pulled out of the way of being an official."

Everyone felt tense when they heard the words, some of them were really acting out of selfishness as Luo Xin said.But most people really didn't get out of the inertia of being an official before, so when they heard Luo Xin's words, their faces showed a dazed look.

"Today I am here to tell you one thing. From now on, I will not blame you for what you have done in the past. But from now on, no corrupt officials are allowed in the Shibo Department. Regarding supervision and punishment , I handed it over to Mr. Wang in the punishment room. All corrupt officials who are caught will be dismissed from office if they are light, and beheaded if they are serious."

At the end of the speech, Luo Xin glanced at everyone with a majestic expression: "Maybe you think that I don't have this right yet, but today I am here to tell you seriously that I have this right. If you don't believe it, you can try it." try."

Everyone's heart trembled, they dared not have the slightest doubt about Luo Xin's words.Luo Xin must be holding some will of Emperor Jiajing, something that can kill their heads.

"Could it be Shang Fang's sword?"

Everyone couldn't help looking at Luo Xin's waist, and they were relieved to see that Luo Xin didn't carry a sword.

"Of course!" Luo Xin said with a calm expression: "I also know that the salaries given by the imperial court are a bit small, and you can't let the horses run without feeding the horses. So I will add another one to the salary. rewards system."

"rewards system?"

Everyone was refreshed. To be honest, I just heard that Luo Xin does not allow the existence of corrupt officials, and once found out, those who are mild will be dismissed from office, and those who are serious will be beheaded. This level also wants to find a way to transfer away.

but……

The point is...they have no way out!

So each of them felt bitter from the bottom of their hearts as if they drank yellow lotus water.Now I suddenly heard Luo Xin talk about the reward system, and everyone looked at Luo Xin like a chicken blood, wondering what kind of reward method and how much reward can be given in their hearts.
