As soon as he returned to his office, the officials gathered around him with a whistle and looked at Luo Xin. Luo Xin sat down in the middle of the seat, rolled his eyes and said:

"Why do you look at me like this?"

Ma Qingshan walked forward embarrassedly and said, "Sir, I heard that you were recruited into the palace by the emperor?"

"Yes!" Luo Xin's face said unhappily: "I've almost finished it, so I'm going to return to my hometown tomorrow, and then told me that I have to be an official here. What's the matter!"

Everyone's faces were filled with laughter and crying. You are not satisfied with your feelings!

"Sir, what about us... what about us?" Ma Qingshan asked nervously.

Luo Xin rolled his eyes again and said, "Have you analyzed it all for you? Why are you still asking?"

Everyone was so excited: "In this way, we don't have to be dismissed from office?"

Luo Xin said angrily: "Who dares to stop your official position? You are just a tiger's butt now!"

"Haha..." Everyone couldn't help but laugh. After a moment, they all became nervous. Ma Qingshan asked in a vain:

"Then... is it like the adults analyzed? Although no one dares to dismiss our official position, we cannot absent from work in the future? We cannot be late or leave early?"

"Yes!" Luo Xin nodded slightly.

"If you catch it, you will be fined?"

"Um!"

"How much will it be fined?"

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

"ah?"

Everyone immediately started to cry. How could they live?

Only salary, no private work, can't continue.

Only private work, no salary, can't continue.

Isn’t this going to force us to death?

"Okay!" Luo Xin said lightly: "I have agreed to you all the things. I must come to work every day in the future and not 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 free life. You can also resign. Don't be afraid of implicating me. I hope you implicate me and I can return to my hometown. See you tomorrow."

Luo Xin stood up and walked outside.

"Sir, where are you going?"

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

"Aren't you afraid of a salary penalty?"

"I'm not afraid!"

After saying that, Luo Xin strode away from the Zhan Shi Mansion and threw a group of officials there, crying.

"Sir Ma, what should we do?"

"What else can I do?" Ma Qingshan also said with a frown: "Anyway, this official dress cannot be thrown away. Let's quit the private work outside first."

"Then...how do we live?"

"Let me find another way. Of course, you can also resign as Lord Luo said."

Everyone stood there with a frown, but no one dared to leave early.

Luo Xin returned home and Lu Rudai came up to meet him.

"Husband, what happened?"

"I told you that we just act like a show, of course we won't leave."

"Your Majesty will not stop your official position?"

"Yeah! Only salary deductions."

"Oh!" Lu Rudai looked indifferent: "Where are your subordinates?"

"Twist them aside for a few days first. Although I have a way to 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 people in this world. If you help him, he feels that he should be divided. He doesn't appreciate your affection at all. If he doesn't help them for a while, they will resent you. Therefore, even if I want to help them, I will ask for them when they are at the end of their lives. Only then will they be grateful and I can do so."

"Husband is the most amazing!"

the next day.

Luo Xin went to Zhan Shi Mansion on time again. As soon as he entered Zuo Shuzi's office, Luo Xin was happy.

Full service!

Everyone came. This was the first time Luo Xin had seen the state of full duty since he took office. He greeted happily:

"Good morning everyone!"

"Good morning sir!"

Luo Xin nodded, entered his office with a smile, brewed a pot of tea for himself, and sat there and drank slowly.

After a while, Ma Qingshan walked in and said with a shy smile: "Sir."

"Qingshan, come and have tea."

"Thank you, I will do it myself!"

The two of them chatted while drinking tea. Ma Qingshan looked constipated and wanted to say something, but it was difficult to express it. Soon a cup of tea was finished. Luo Xin stood up and said:

"I'm back. If you have any questions, go to the mansion to find me."

After the words were finished, he left without waiting for Ma Qingshan to speak.

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

"Sir Ma, how about it?"

Ma Qingshan smiled bitterly and said, "Before I said that, Lord Luo left. I'll try again tomorrow."

The next day.

Luo Xin and Ma Qingshan were having tea again. Seeing that Luo Xin was about to finish drinking, Ma Qingshan bit his teeth and said:

"Sir, what should we do?"

"What should I do?" Luo Xin looked confused.

"We... can't survive if we continue like this!"

"Isn't this possible quit?"

"Resign...what are we doing?"

"You do whatever you did before."

"That...is not enough!"

Luo Xin finished drinking the last little tea and stood up and said, "You are so many of you, let's find a way together. Three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang, and they can always come up with a solution. I won't call you, I'll go back."

After Luo Xin left, the officials gathered together again, and each of them was frowning.

Days pass by day.

Emperor Jiajing also learned that Luo Xin still did his own thing and was too lazy to pay attention to Luo Xin. Anyway, you should stay in the capital. Moreover, Emperor Jiajing has been annoyed recently and has no energy to pay attention 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, and just like before, there were ten eunuchs on both sides of a long table, and each had an account book and an abacus in front of each person, and they were scrambling accounts.

These books are provided by Hu Zongxian. The books provided list how many merchants from the vassal states have arrived in the past six months, what goods they have brought, and how many goods they have transported away.

In fact, these accounts were provided to Hu Zongxian by Luo Xin, and then provided to Dongchang in the name of Hu Zongxian, and sent to Yuxi Palace by the people from Dongchang.

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

The sky gradually darkened, and lights were lit in the room, making the room bright.

Suddenly, the room became quiet, and Emperor Jiajing opened his eyes. He saw that the ten eunuchs had stopped, and Huang Jin sent the stack of papers to Emperor Jiajing.

"Your Majesty, I've calculated it."
