Luo Xin hurriedly put the information on the table into the box, then kicked the box under the bed. Then he opened the door and asked:

“Where are they?”

“In the flower hall.”

"Prepare some wine and food!"

"yes!"

Luo Xin came to the flower hall and saw Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun sitting in the flower hall drinking tea. Luo Xin said:

“Eat here.”

"Okay!" The two of them were not polite.

At this time, it was actually time to eat, and the food in Luo Mansion was almost done. So the food was quickly put on. Three people had a drink for three rounds, and after the dishes were five flavors, Zhou Yu said worriedly:

"You are the news that is spreading outside now, right?"

"Yes!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "But you can't tell the outside world, even the Fuxing Society will not do it."

"I know. But..." Zhou Yu's face was filled with worry: "In this way, your reputation will be bad. At that time, your Majesty will take the blame and you will die."

"I can't die!" Luo Xin said lightly: "At least, Your Majesty cannot kill me for the sake of public anger on this charge. Moreover, are those wealthy families considered civilians?"

"It would be fine if it were civilians." Zhang Xun sighed and said, "Civilians can't put pressure on His Majesty."

"Don't worry!" Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "Even if my disaster relief is over and I have wiped out the bandits, Your Majesty still needs to rely on me. Because there are Goryeo in the north and Japanese pirates in the south. The most important thing is that he still needs me to solve the problem of the Maritime Bureau. If these problems are not solved, Your Majesty cannot kill me. And when I solved these problems and asked the wealthy families to donate money, they have missed the opportunity to kill me.

Let's talk about it...

In a province, so many wealthy families donated only one million taels of silver in total. Is it too much?

They were like wealth-guarding slaves, waiting for the bandits to break through the city. They would lose their lives, let alone their property."

"How come the Ming Dynasty... has reached this level?"

For a moment, everyone sighed.

The various prefectures began to release food. This time, without Xu Jie's repeated advice and ten thousand instructions, and without Xu Jie's sending people to keep a close eye on it. The officials of the various prefectures began to habitually embezzle again. What they didn't know was that everything they did, including detailed evidence, was obtained by the Jinyiwei.

The news came to Luo Xin's case, but Luo Xin still remained unmoved. The local officials' embezzlement and the money did not fall into their pockets, but the big head was transported to Beijing and to the hands of officials from Beijing.

Luo Xin looked at the news in front of him, and his face showed a sarcastic look.

"I wonder if these big heads will eventually be sent to Xu Jie and Gao Gong. I'll wait a little longer."

He waited here, but the wealthy families in various prefectures could not wait. At first, they were still holding on, and they kept using their relationship to ask officials to report to the court and put pressure on Luo Xin. Moreover, those officials, including officials in the capital, did continue to report to impeach Luo Xin.

but……

Without a response, Emperor Jiajing didn't say anything at all, and these people couldn't see Emperor Jiajing. Now only Xu Jie and Gao Gong can meet Emperor Jiajing, but how could Xu Jie dare to impeach Luo Xin in front of Emperor Jiajing?

He caused everything, so what confidence do you have to impeach Luo Xin?

Gao Gong did not speak this time and pretended to be deaf and dumb. Because he knew it was useless to say it. This was obviously what Emperor Jiajing agreed to. Is it meaningful to impeach Luo Xin?

After a county in the south was captured by bandits, the aristocratic families and wealthy families compromised. They saw dangerous results. They knew that even if the Ming Dynasty did not donate money, and with the tense situation between the north and the south, the Ming Dynasty would not be able to mobilize elite troops from the north and the south to encircle and suppress the bandits. This would be insufficient in the military. Therefore, it was impossible for seven provinces to suppress bandits at the same time. Even if they stayed in the city and the bandits could not attack, the goods could not be circulated, and they lost more than tens of thousands of taels a year. Now, there are at least hundreds of wealthy families and merchants in each province, and each family would pay a few thousand taels, which would only make up one million taels.

And whoever donates first will go to which province to suppress bandits. What else can hesitate at this time?

Soon, wealthy families and merchants from various provinces connected together, wrote down the amount of donations from each family, signed, and sent people to Luo Xin. As long as the army began to suppress the bandits, which province entered, which province immediately sent one million taels of silver. And it was explained that it was not that they did not give it, but that they had no power to give it. If they gave it, they would definitely be robbed by bandits on the way, so they could only wait for the army to come and take it.

Luo Xin did not delay and immediately ordered the army to set out in order to suppress the bandits.

After getting seven million taels of silver, Luo Xin calculated that it was enough to suppress the bandits with two million taels of silver. No matter how many bandits were, they were bandits, and they had begun to provide disaster relief, cutting off the source of bandit growth. Ninety-nine percent of bandits were farmers who had never fought wars. Even if the Ming army was useless, it would take several months to wipe out bandits.

There are still five million taels left, Luo Xin will intercept one million taels and distribute them to Liu Shouyou and Huang Jin each with 300,000 taels, and leave 400,000 taels himself.

Luo Xin was also helpless. If he didn't give it to Liu Shouyou and Huang Jin, these two people would definitely embezzle themselves, and they were more greedy than this. Now he needs Liu Shouyou and Huang Jin, and these two people play a very important role in promoting King Yu to the throne. Moreover, if he only gave it to Liu Shouyou and Huang Jin and didn't want it, Liu Shouyou and Huang Jin would definitely be suspicious, afraid that Luo Xin would kill the two of them in the future. They knew that Luo Xin was preparing to kill a large number of officials.

"Oh..." Luo Xin sighed: "Why is it so difficult to do something? He killed corrupt officials over there, and he was greedy for money here, but he was greedy for money? What's this called a matter!"

Two days later.

Liu Shouyou sat happily opposite Luo Xin. He had already obtained the 300,000 taels of silver. He was naturally happy and looked at Luo Xin opposite him and said:

"No, I have investigated it clearly. The embezzled silver was sent to the capital, but not to Gao Gong and Xu Jie."

"Um!"

Luo Xin nodded and felt relieved. If Gao Gong and Xu Jie were really greedy for this time, he really didn't know how to attack. He really killed Gao Gong and Xu Jie. Both of them were cabinets and their disciples and old officials were pushed, then the matter would be really bad and the Ming Dynasty would be in chaos.
