Chapter 887 Luo Xin's Worrying Subordinates
As soon as he returned to his office, those officials surrounded him with a huff, all looking at Luo Xin eagerly.Luo Xin sat down in the middle seat, rolled his eyes and said:

"Why are you all looking at me like that?"

Ma Qingshan stepped forward and said, "My lord, I heard that you were recruited into the palace by the emperor?"

"Yeah!" Luo Xin said with displeasure on his face, "I've packed up and prepared to return to my hometown tomorrow, and then told me that I still have to be an official here, what's the matter! "

Everyone's faces were full of dumbfounding, you are still not satisfied that your feelings have made you an official!
"My lord, what about us?" Ma Qingshan asked nervously.

Luo Xin rolled his eyes again and said, "Didn't I analyze everything for you? Why do you still ask?"

Everyone's spirits were lifted: "So, we don't have to be dismissed?"

Luo Xin said angrily: "Who dares to dismiss your officials? You are like tigers who can't be touched now!"

"Hehe..." Everyone couldn't help laughing, but after a while, everyone became nervous, and Ma Qingshan asked eagerly:

"Then...is it the same as the adults analyzed? Although no one dares to dismiss our officials, we can't be absent from work in the future? And can't we be late and leave early?"

"En!" Luo Xin nodded slightly.

"Once caught, will you be fined?"

"Ok!"

"How much will you be fined?"

"I don't know! However, with Xu Jie as a person, don't say you absent from work, as long as he finds out that you are late and leave early three times, your salary will probably be gone."

"what?"

Everyone immediately cried and mourned, how can they live like this?
Only salary, no private work, can't live on.

There is only private work, no salary, and it is impossible to survive.

Isn't this going to kill us?
"Okay!" Luo Xin said lightly: "I've settled everything with you. From now on, I have to come to work every day, and I can't be late or leave early. Of course, if you don't care about this little salary, it doesn't matter. You can still live your original life. Live a carefree life. You can also resign. Don’t be afraid of implicating me, I just hope you implicate me so that I can return to my hometown. See you tomorrow.”

Luo Xin stood up and walked outside.

"My lord, where are you going?"

"Go home!" Luo Xin said as he walked out.

"Aren't you afraid of being punished for your salary?"

"I'm not afraid!"

After saying that, Luo Xin strode away from Zhan Shifu, and left a group of officials there, crying and mourning.

"Master Ma, what shall we do?"

"What else can I do?" Ma Qingshan also said with a sad face: "Anyway, I can't lose this official clothes, let's resign from the private work outside first."

"Then... how do we live?"

"Let's think of a way. Of course, you can also resign as Master Luo said."

Everyone stood there with sad faces, but no one dared to leave early.

When Luo Xin returned home, Lu Rudai greeted him.

"Husband, what happened?"

"I told you, it's just a show, of course we won't leave."

"Your Majesty will not dismiss your official position?"

"Well! Only the salary will be deducted."

"Oh!" Lu Rudai said indifferently, "Where are your subordinates?"

"Let's throw them aside for a few days. Although I can help them, I have to let them appreciate it. Otherwise, wouldn't it be in vain?"

Lu Rudai covered her mouth and smiled, "Are you asking them to beg you?"

"Of course. There are many people in this world. You help him, but he thinks he deserves it. He doesn't accept your favor at all. If he doesn't help them for a while, they will resent you instead. So, even if I want to To help them, I also need to ask when they are at the end of their ropes, and I will help them, so that they will be grateful in the future, and I will be able to make orders and prohibit them."

"My husband is the best!"

the next day.
Luo Xin went to Zhan Shi's mansion on time again, and as soon as he entered Zuo Shuzi's office, Luo Xin was overjoyed.

Full attendance!

Everyone is here, this is the first time Luo Xin has seen full attendance since he took office.He greeted happily:

"Good morning to you!"

"Good morning, my lord!"

Luo Xin nodded, entered his office with a smile on his face, made himself a pot of tea, and sat there to drink it slowly.

After a while, Ma Qingshan came in and said with a shy smile, "My lord."

"Qingshan, come, drink tea."

"Thank you, I'll do it myself!"

The two chatted while drinking tea. Ma Qingshan looked constipated, wanted to say something, but couldn't say it out loud. Soon the cup of tea was finished. Luo Xin stood up and said:

"I'm going back. If you need anything, go to the house to find me."

When the words fell, he left without waiting for Ma Qingshan to speak.

As soon as Luo Xin left, all the officials came out of the room and surrounded Ma Qingshan.

"Master Ma, how are you doing?"

Ma Qingshan said with a wry smile, "Master Luo left before I said anything. I'll try again tomorrow."

The next day.

Luo Xin drank tea with Ma Qingshan again, seeing that Luo Xin was about to finish drinking, Ma Qingshan gritted his teeth and said:

"My lord, what shall we do?"

"What should I do?" Luo Xin was puzzled.

"We... can't go on like this!"

"Isn't this still resignation?"

"Resign... what are we doing?"

"Just do whatever you did before."

"That... is not enough!"

Luo Xin drank the last bit of tea, stood up and said: "There are so many of you, think of a way together, the three cobblers can beat Zhuge Liang, and you can always come up with a way. I won't talk to you, I will I'm back."

After Luo Xin left, those officials got together again, all of them frowning.

Days pass by.

Emperor Jiajing also learned that Luo Xin was still going his own way, and he didn't bother to pay attention to Luo Xin. Anyway, it's good for you to stay in the capital.Moreover, Emperor Jiajing has been annoyed recently, and he has no energy to talk to Luo Xin. He is waiting for the people sent to the southeast to come back.

this day.

The gate of Yuxi Palace was closed tightly, and it was the same as before. There were ten eunuchs on both sides of a long table, and each of them had an account book and an abacus in front of them, and they were clattering to settle accounts.

These ledgers were all provided by Hu Zongxian. The ledgers provided listed how many merchants from the feudal kingdom had come in the past six months, what goods they had brought, and how they had transported how many goods.

In fact, Luo Xin provided these books to Hu Zongxian, and then provided them to Dongchang in the name of Hu Zongxian, and the people of Dongchang sent them to Yuxi Palace.

Emperor Jiajing closed his eyes and sat on the chair to rest his mind, but from the twitching of his eyelids, he knew that his mood was not peaceful.

As the sky gradually darkened, lights were lit in the room, illuminating the room brightly.

Suddenly, the room fell silent, and Emperor Jiajing opened his eyes.Seeing that the ten eunuchs all stopped, Huang Jin sent the stack of papers in front of Emperor Jiajing.

"Your Majesty, I figured it out."
