"Yes, hahaha..."

Gao Gong laughed happily, and at this time he was more confident in controlling the cabinet. Although Xu Jie brought Zhang Juzheng into the cabinet, Luo Xin also entered the cabinet. Luo Xin's ability and reputation definitely crushed Zhang Juzheng. In this way, he received the support of Luo Xin, and his fight with Xu Jie was invincible.

The two of them became more and more speculative. After finally making an appointment to get a meal at Taibai Building, Gao Gong said goodbye and left. Luo Xin sent Gao Gong out of the door and saw Zhang Juzheng coming out of Xu Jie's room. Gao Gong faintly swept Zhang Juzheng and walked towards his duty room. Zhang Juzheng bowed from afar.

Luo Xin also turned around and returned to his duty room. Zhang Juzheng quickly walked in, sat opposite Luo Xin, picked up his teapot and poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and said:

"Why are you doing this without a weapon? The cabinet needs peace."

Luo Xin raised his eyelids and glanced at him, and said lightly: "Why is the cabinet uneven? Just because Gao Jiao was rewarded?"

"The chief minister is not the Shangzhuguo..."

"Why isn't he going to the Pillar Kingdom? Do you have no numbers? Shouldn't your Majesty be rewarded with meritorious ministers?"

"well……"

Zhang Juzheng sighed, and actually felt that what Luo Xin said was very reasonable and he had nothing to say.

It was almost the year's closing, and the cabinet began to get busy. By the end of the year, the cabinet would make various summary and inventory. Since Gao Gong received the reward, he has no longer been as aggressive as before. Xu Jie also endured a lot. For a while, the cabinet became much more peaceful.

The cabinet is so busy, so naturally it would not let Luo Xin and Zhang Juzheng not do anything, just sit there and watch others do their work, so they also start to give them some work within their ability.

Zhang Juzheng was still the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue and was familiar with the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue, so he handed over the matters of the Ministry of Revenue to Zhang Juzheng. Gao Gong returned to Luo Xin and handed over the assessment files of the official sent by the Ministry of Revenue to Luo Xin. Originally, Ma Fang was responsible for the Ministry of War, but now the money shortage has made Ma Fang very anxious, so after research, Gao Gong and Xu Jie made Ma Fang concentrate on the affairs of the northern money shortage. He handed over the affairs of the Ministry of War to Yan Na to review the accounts. Gao Gong also proposed that Zhang Juzheng concentrate on the affairs of the southern money shortage and hand over the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue to others, but Xu Jie did not agree, and Gao Gong and Xu Jie also had their own affairs.

Of course, for Zhang Juzheng, the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue are actually small things, and the big things are shortage of money.

This has been a month, and there are still two months left before the three months given by Xu Jie. This is really time-consuming and the task is heavy. The most important thing is that Zhang Juzheng or Ma Fang has not come up with a good idea.

Luo Xin completely forgot about the money shortage this month, and was so busy that he hit the back of his head, and truly realized the hard work of the cabinet. Before entering the cabinet, he really didn't know that there were so many things in the cabinet.

But it's not surprising to think about it.

There are many things that you don’t have high enough, so it’s impossible to know. The cabinet is the highest authority of the Ming Dynasty. There are too many things that are limited to the cabinet, so people outside the cabinet naturally don’t know the hard work of the cabinet.

Moreover, Luo Xin is different from Zhang Juzheng. Those old cabinet members, Xu Jie, Gao Gong, Yan Na and Ma Fang, have no ministry affairs and are focused on handling the matters of the cabinet. However, Luo Xin also serves as the Minister of Rites, and Zhang Juzheng also serves as the Left Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

This work is even more arduous!

Originally, the Ministry of Rites had much less work than the Ministry of Revenue.

wrong!

It should be said that it is too much. The Ministry of Revenue manages money and grain, not only to take stock of this year, but also to budget for the coming year. It is really a tiring department. The Ministry of Rites is different.

But this year is different, because next year is the year of the competition. This is a major event in the country. It can be said that everyone is paying attention to it. There cannot be any negligence. In the 13 provinces of the two capitals, the chief examiner, deputy examiner, invigilator, advisor, and clerk who copy papers in each examination room must send personnel. There are also conditions in each examination room, and the Ministry of Rites needs to send people to inspect and then close them. Although it will take until next autumn, the autumn examination will naturally be in autumn.

However, the territory of the Ming Dynasty was vast and not a small place. So we will start to be busy from now on.

In this way, Luo Xin and Zhang Juzheng had to be busy in the cabinet and handle matters in the department. They were so busy that they hit the back of their heads. They often worked overtime, and they had no overtime pay. They didn’t have time to go home and eat and sleep in the big room when they were busy.

After finally returning home, he received a message from Lu Cuiqiao, which shocked Luo Xin.

It turns out that during this busy period of time when he was, his brother Tang Luo Sheng was even busier than him.

What is Luo Sheng busy with?

war!

Originally, according to the historical trend, since the Spanish king wanted to expand his colony from America to Asia and turn the South China Sea into the Nei Lake of Spain, Spain has been striving to seek it. He first carried out an expedition to the Philippines, first occupied Cebu Island in the Luzon Islands, and served as a springboard to directly threaten Luzon and Mindanao. Then he clashed with another maritime power, Portugal, and the two began to fight.

However, history has changed due to the emergence of Luo Xin.

Spain and Portugal both discovered a strong enemy, the bend of Luo Sheng. Moreover, Luo Sheng's navy was very powerful, and Luo Sheng had occupied Luzon and turned Luzon into his own territory. Spain and Portugal each fought with Luo Xin, but they both lost. So the two families united.

During this period, a fierce formation broke out at the sea, and the alliance between Spain and Portugal and Luo Sheng's navy were in a battle.

Luo Sheng now has a lot of territory, including Wanwan, Luzon, Ryukyu and Japan.

And the ship is really strong and cannons are powerful. At this time, Spain and Portugal were still wooden boats. Luo Sheng’s ship was already an iron boat. Although it was not a real iron boat, it was just a layer of iron on the outside. Compared with the West, it was considered a strong boat.

What are the battles?

If the weapons are not too weaker than the other party, then the national strength is the one that is fighting. Now that Luo Sheng has mastered Luzon, Wanwan, Ryukyu and Japan, the national strength is already great. How strong is Spain and Portugal?

Of course it is strong!

Each country has more than a thousand fleets, but these more than a thousand fleets are not in the same place. Now Spain and Portugal have a large territory on the sea. Thousands of fleets are divided into all directions. After they spread, there are not many ships in each fleet. Take the fleet to the South China Sea as an example, and each country has only a few dozen ships. It is not difficult for Luo Sheng to annihilate them, but it is easy.
