"Retire your armor and return to the fields? Do they have fields?" Emperor Jiajing sneered and said, "If there is no field, do they want to remove their armor and force them to rebel?"
"minister……"
"What's the point of using you?" Emperor Jiajing's voice became cold and harsh: "Has your cabinet played a crucial role in destroying the Japanese pirates?
In the Northern Expedition to the Grassland, has your cabinet played a crucial role again?
In fighting against Goryeo, what role has your cabinet played?
Establish the Maritime Contract Department, establish the mutual market, and solve the Ming Dynasty's finances. Where are you?
Tell me yourself, what did your cabinet do for me?"
Xu Jie and Gao Gong stood there with their heads down with red faces. Emperor Jiajing gasped for a while, then waved his hand and said:
"Go down and come up with a charter as soon as possible."
"Yes!" Xu Jie and Gao Gong retreated.
At this time, Luo Xin had left Guangdong and started to come back to the capital. But this time he was not riding a horse, but sat on a comfortable horse.
In the carriage, Qin Shuang was looking at the scrolls of files. These files were collected from various wards, and there were also rolls of secret letters sent by the Jinyiwei. Every time Qin Shuang reads a file, he found the corresponding secret letters sent by the Jinyiwei, and then recorded something on the paper.
Even so, until the capital, Luo Xin did not finish reading all the files and secret letters. He first went to the Ministry of Rites and put the files and secret letters into the warehouse. Then he went to report to Yan Na. Before he had a few conversations with Yan Na, a eunuch came to Luo Xin and said that it was the emperor who summoned him.
Luo Xin followed the eunuch to the side hall. After paying homage to Emperor Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing hurriedly asked:
"Luo Xin, Guangdong will not have any more problems, right?"
“There will be no problem for the time being.”
"For the time being?" Emperor Jiajing frowned slightly.
"Yes!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "The rebellion has subsided, but the people in the garrisons are panicked and very unstable. If the disarmament cannot be resolved as soon as possible, the next outbreak will probably be even more violent."
When Emperor Jiajing heard this, his fear of trouble came again, and he couldn't help but hate Hai Rui in his heart. He really wanted to pull Hai Rui out and kill him. However, at this time he knew that he could not move Hai Rui. Once Hai Rui was moved, it proved that he was afraid of the military. He looked at Luo Xin with a bright look:
"Luo Xin, what can you do?"
"It's not impossible. Although it can't be considered perfect, it can also minimize the seriousness of the situation as much as possible."
"Tell me quickly!" Emperor Jiajing's eyes lit up.
Luo Xin thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, this time I went to the south and collected all the information of all the garrisons in the south. Although I have only read one-third now, I can see the whole leopard. Now all the garrisons in the south are falsely registered for the quota. There is no full quota. I have counted these one-third, and the real number is probably only one-quarter of the quota. In other words, if there are 1,000 people on the list of a garrison, there are actually only 250 people. The garrison has eaten a vacancies of 750 people."
"Bang!" Emperor Jiajing slapped the imperial desk and said with a grim expression: "This group of soldiers should be killed."
After saying that, Emperor Jiajing quickly calculated in his mind, and his eyes gradually lit up and said:
"There are more than 2.7 million people on the list of garrisons. In this way, isn't it only more than 700,000? There will be much less trouble in such a layoff."
"It's hard to say!" Luo Xin pondered for a moment and said, "After all, I have only seen one-third of them now, and two-thirds still haven't seen it. And this is only from the south, and from the north yet. Before leaving the capital, I had already asked Zhang Juzheng and the others to collect it, and now they should have collected it. However, in short, the actual number of people should be much smaller than the number on the list.
However, this is also very troublesome.
Your Majesty, every soldier has a family. Even if there are only 700,000 real numbers, but if their family members are added, there will be three million. The court can be dismissed, but they must be given a way out. Otherwise, what is waiting for the court will be full of beacons."
Emperor Jiajing pondered for a moment and said, "Isn't there any military farming? Since the actual number of people is not large, you can distribute those military farming to them."
"Not enough!" Luo Xin shook his head and said, "And most of the military farms have been occupied."
"Entering the military farm?" Emperor Jiajing looked at him with a sharp look: "Do they want to die?"
"It's all aristocratic families."
Emperor Jiajing closed his eyes. He knew that the great power of those aristocratic families was. At this time, if the military farms were brought back from the hands of the aristocratic families, I am afraid that those aristocratic families would really incite the world to rebel.
"How is this?"
"Come on step by step, it's hard to say now. You can always find a way to count the numbers first."
In fact, Luo Xin already had a rough idea in his mind, but there was still a lack of data support at this time, so he could not speak nonsense in front of Emperor Jiajing. Emperor Jiajing nodded and said:
“How long does it take?”
"It can be as many as seven days, and it can be as few as three days."
"Okay, go, I'll wait for the good news."
"Yes! I'm leaving."
Luo Xin left the imperial study room. Before he could walk more than ten meters, he saw a clerk walking up and said, "Master Luo, Lord Gao, please invite him."
Luo Xin nodded and followed the clerk to Gao Gong's duty room. The clerk retreated and closed the door. The clerk was very warm in the room. Gao Gong sat on the kang and waved to Luo Xin:
"No, go to the kang to warm up."
"Thank you!"
Luo Xin took off his shoes and sat on the kang. He looked at the small table in front of him, with four dishes and a pot of wine:
"Sir, is this?"
Gao Gong smiled and said, "You just entered Beijing, I'm afraid you haven't eaten yet, right? Let's have something for you."
Luo Xin said, "The Lord is really hungry, thank you sir."
"What are you polite to me? Come and eat quickly."
After saying that, he picked up the chopsticks first. Luo Xin was not polite. He was indeed hungry. The two of them finished their meal silently. Gao Gong called someone to bring tea again, and then looked at Luo Xin and said:
"No, we both assisted King Yu, and we have always been close, but I think you have become much distant from me recently."
Luo Xin was slightly stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Gao Gong to go straight in so much. He just smiled and said:
"Sir, have you misunderstood? The official didn't think so."
Gao Gong said lightly: "We met a lot less often."
Luo Xin smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, I want to ask you more advice. It's just this disarmament matter..."
Speaking of this, Luo Xin's face was full of helplessness and said: "It's good for the Xiaguan to be transferred to the Ministry of Rites. What's the relationship between the disarmament and the Ministry of Rites? What's the relationship with the Xiaguan?
