Chapter 1570 Persuasion
"You and I are both the best, so I think we should have a common feeling."
"Seeing together?" Lin Yuntong said in his heart: "What can we have in common? Why do we feel that Luo Xin's words are becoming more and more unexpected? There is no rule at all, just like an antelope hanging on its horns, with no trace to be found."
"What...feel?" Lin Yuntong felt that she could no longer keep up with Luo Xin's rhythm.
"I am in charge of the Ministry of Works, but the Ministry of Works is at the end of the six departments. This makes me uncomfortable who are used to being the best. Is Brother Lin, who is used to being the best, used to being the best?"
"ah?"
Lin Yuntong was confused and did not expect Luo Xin to say this. It was completely different from what he thought. Moreover, Luo Xin talked about himself first, so there was no mockery of Lin Yuntong. Moreover, Luo Xin's words did hit Lin Yuntong's heart. Since he became the Minister of Works, he has never been happy.
When Xu Jie was still there, he thought that he had never fought against Luo Xin and was unhappy because he was ashamed of Xu Jie's recovery. After Xu Jie returned to his hometown, he thought that he was humiliated by Feng Bao and others and was unhappy. Now when he heard Luo Xin's words, he felt a sudden realization. His essential unhappiness was because he had lost the leader of the past, no longer had the spirit of the leader, and lived a depressed life.
At this moment, he felt that he and Luo Xin resonate with each other. Looking at Luo Xin, a hint of mutual appreciation arose in his heart.
"I'm not used to it!" Lin Yuntong blurted out.
Luo Xin smiled in his heart, it would be better if he had a start. A hint of pride appeared on Luo Xin's face and said:
"I'm not afraid that Brother Lin said that I'm proud. Since I entered the officialdom, I have experienced countless crises, but in the end this crises have made me. So, I think that even if the Ministry of Works is now at the end of the Six Divisions, I will make it the leader of the Six Divisions."
"Really?" Lin Yuntong felt a wave of heat surge in his heart.
"Of course." Luo Xin said seriously: "This is also why I reformed the Ministry of Works. Otherwise, why would the Ministry of Works become the leader of the six ministries?"
Lin Yuntong calmed down after hearing Luo Xin's words, but his attitude became much more serious:
"Mr. Luo, I admit that you have made sense. That... technology plays a vital role in the development of history. However, if you want to reform, you have to have money.
Now the Ministry of Works has no money, and no one. No one is said. Lord Luo understands, right?"
"I understand!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "I have already asked for a million silver from the elder."
"Really?" Lin Yun and Teng stood up.
"Really." Luo Xin nodded and said, "There is also a piece of land outside the city."
“Where is it?”
"Xiangshan."
A hint of excitement appeared on Lin Yuntong's face. Then he said worriedly: "This money..."
"Are you afraid that Feng Bao and the others will come to ask for it?"
"Yes!" Lin Yuntong said helplessly.
"This is not a problem. No matter who comes, even if the imperial edict is issued, you will tell them that this money is not given by me, Luo Xin, and no one can take it away. If you want the money, please contact me, Luo Xin."
"I'm relieved!"
Lin Yuntong's face showed emotion. I'm afraid that in the entire Ming Dynasty, only Luo Xin and Gao Gong dared to say such things.
"But what about people? We don't have the people that Lord Luo needs."
"We train ourselves." Luo Xin said lightly.
"Cultivate yourself?" Lin Yuntong was shocked: "How to cultivate it?"
Luo Xin looked at Lin Yun sincerely and said, "Brother Lin, I honestly say, I know you are grateful to Lord Xu, and now you are grateful to Lord Gao. So, beware of me."
Lin Yuntong's face turned red, but he did not explain. He said he was not careful about Luo Xin, which was a humiliation of Luo Xin's IQ.
"Mr. Lin, I will not destroy the kindness between you and Mr. Xu, nor will the friendship between you and Mr. Gao, nor will I ask you to form a party with me. I just want to do something with you and do something that will make the Ministry of Works the leader. I am willing?"
Lin Yuntong's expression changed on her face, and later she even got up and walked back and forth.
He is not a fool or a young man. Although he is a little second-tier, he is not unable to analyze what he might encounter in the future. Once he and Luo Xin jointly reformed in the Ministry of Works, although he has a clear conscience, Xu Jie and Gao Gong will definitely think that they have defected to Luo Xin, and it will be useless to explain it.
This is exactly where he hesitated. At that time, he would be regarded as betrayal by the Xu Party and despised by the Gao Party. At that time, if he wanted to establish himself in the court, he could only defect to Luo Xin.
high!
Very tall!
It's really high!
He just took himself under his sect silently.
but……
Why is Luo Xin’s proposal so attractive to him?
He took a deep breath and decided to analyze it carefully. He didn't care about letting Luo Xin wait. Since Luo Xin came to talk to him honestly, he had the patience to wait for him. So he began to think carefully about the path he was going to take.
The first path is to support Zhang Juzheng with Ge Shouli and others as Xu Jie's instructions.
But is Zhang Juzheng really worthy of support?
Can he really take the position of Prime Minister of the Cabinet?
With Luo Xin in front of him, with the huge gap between Zhang Juzheng and Luo Xin now, this kind of hope...
Just think about it and you feel that the future is dark and there is no hope.
In fact, this was not what he thought alone. When he was chatting around the fire with Ge Shouli, Wang Guoguang, Zhao Zhenji and others, those people also revealed this idea.
Luo Xin was really too dazzling, blocking Zhang Juzheng's light. They could only hope that Gao Gong and Luo Xin would fight, and then Gao Gong drove Luo Xin out of the cabinet, so that Zhang Juzheng would have hope.
but……
They have also analyzed this possibility, which is too low.
In the cabinet, Gao Gong's identity, qualifications and status are higher than Luo Xin. However, in the heart of Emperor Longqing, Luo Xin's status is higher than Gao Gong.
This is something that the whole court knows.
This is like Luo Xin has an indestructible body, and Gao Gong can suppress Luo Xin, but it is too difficult to drive Luo Xin out of the cabinet. In this way, even if Luo Xin relies on his age, he will also resign Gao Gong away. Where can Zhang Juzheng have a chance to make a comeback?
The second way is to seek refuge with Gao Gong. Although the Xu Party would despise itself, other officials would not. Xu Jie had the kindness of restoration for himself, and Gao Gong also had the kindness of protecting him.
But will Gao Gong show his ambitions? Will the Ministry of Works become the leader of the Sixth Ministry? Will it make himself full of energy again?
impossible.
Gao Gong will only let himself involve Luo Xin, which will be the only task Gao Gong gave him. This is not what Lin Yuntong wants. He still wants to make some achievements in his heart so that everyone knows that Lin Yuntong is not only good at talking, but also doing practical things. And once Gao Gong is trusted by Luo Xin until he is older and returns to his hometown, Lin Yuntong will definitely end up miserably at that time.
