This shows that he is unruly!

And Xu Jie is still to repair the palace for himself, so that Luo Xin can refuse, if he dies, who else can control him Luo Xin?

So the result of not going will push Luo Xin further into the abyss.

Luo Xin still came to the household department, naturally there will be no foolish soldier to stop Luo Xin, who in the capital does not know Luo Xin now?

The old Shangshu of the household department Fang Yu and last year had resigned on the grounds that he was seventy years old and resigned, although Emperor Jiajing made a retention, but Fang Yu finally resigned and returned to the countryside, and the new household secretary at this time was Fu Yi, who had just taken office, a man in his fifties.

has just taken office as the secretary of the household department, and the people in the household department have not yet straightened out, so they naturally do not take a stand for Luo Xin, and they also admire Luo Xin very much. When Huangtai Jibing besieged the capital, he was also in the capital, watching the whole process of Luo Xin's victory from the perspective of a bystander, and Luo Xin's Confucian demeanor made him, a person who was dozens of years older than Luo Xin, almost worship Luo Xin.

Therefore, when he knew that Luo Xin was coming, he actually greeted him, made tea for Luo Xin with his own hands, sat opposite Luo Xin, asked about the cold and warmth, and even asked when Luo Xin would get married.

On the one hand, Fu Yi was too enthusiastic, and on the other hand, Luo Xin really hadn't figured out how to speak, so the two of them kept chatting.

But......

In the end, Luo Xin knew that he still had to ask, otherwise he would not be able to explain to Xu Jie when he returned to the cabinet. seized an opportunity to ask:

"Master Fu, Lord Xu asked me to ask if the silver allocated to His Majesty to repair the Wanshou Palace is ready?"

When Fu Yi heard this, the enthusiastic look on his face immediately disappeared, and it was replaced by a sad face, looking at Luo Xin and saying pitifully:

"Last year, the grassland coalition invaded the Ming Dynasty, almost the entire north, and because of the fierce war in the north, the court had no spare strength to support the southeast, resulting in a great increase in the disaster of the southeast, and there was not much tax at all. In previous years, there were about four million taels, but this year's tax revenue is less than half of that of previous years. ”

In fact, this figure had already been reported to the cabinet, but Xu Jie did not tell Luo Xin. Now that Luo Xin heard this number, he gritted his teeth with hatred for Xu Jie in his heart. Since he knew that the Ming Dynasty was taxed like this, he still let himself urge Emperor Jiajing to repair the silver of the Wanshou Palace, isn't this harmful to himself?

But thinking that Xu Jie was harming himself, his mood calmed down again. After Fu Yi finished complaining and his voice paused, Luo Xin said with a wry smile:

"My lord, did you report this number to the cabinet?"

"Of course I did." Fu Yi hurriedly nodded.

The bitterness on Luo Xin's face became even stronger: "But Lord Xu still took pictures of the official to urge." What do you think I will say to Master Xu when I go back? ”

Fu Yi's eyes narrowed and said, "No, Lord Xu, he ...... Hehe...... It's also to blame you for making Lord Xu too ugly at the city gate. ”

Luo Xin shook his head with a wry smile and said: "My lord, you were also there at that time, and the army's heart was shaken by Lord Xu's words, if Xiaguan didn't do that at that time, the capital would be broken, and the grassland coalition army would slaughter the city, and Xiaguan was also forced to do so by Lord Xu." Now Lord Xu is ......"

"Then you go back and tell the truth, saying that the household department has no money."

"The lower officials can go back and say this, but if Lord Xu is a little more vinegared in front of His Majesty......"

"However, the household department really has no money."

"I know!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "Xia Guan only got half of his salary last month. ”

Fu Yi spread his hands and said: "There is no way, you know, the city wall was seriously damaged in the first battle of the capital, and now the money for repairing the city wall has not been enough." ”

When Luo Xin heard this, his face became more and more ugly. But he also knew that he couldn't force Fu Yi here, so he fell into the trap that Xu laid for him. Looking at Fu Yi, who also had a bitter face, Luo Xin sighed and said:

"It seems that the lower officials can only be an incompetent official."

"Hehe......" Fu Yi smiled: "No, it's hard for you to do!" It's hard to be confused, it's better than offending Your Majesty and your colleagues. ”

Luo Xin left the household department in a huff, but did not return to the cabinet. Anyway, Xu Jie asked him to go to the household department to urge money, and he didn't ask him to report back when, so he walked on the street alone, and Lu Daqing followed behind.

Just walked like this, and at noon, Luo Xin felt hungry. When I looked up, I was walking in front of a restaurant, which had four floors, but it was not abrupt here in the capital, with a plaque hanging on it, and three big characters were written on the plaque:

Jiajialou.

Luo Xin was happy to see it, and he remembered the Jia family building in the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. I walked in, and saw a little fat man sleeping on the counter, and there was no one in the whole restaurant, let alone a guest.

Luo Xin found a seat at random and sat down, Lu Daqing stood in front of the counter and knocked on the counter gently, and the little fat man woke up suddenly, and he didn't care about wiping his mouth and said:

"Guest officer, how many?" Then he saw Luo Xin, and ran out of the counter and came to Luo Xin's front and said:

"Guest, what did you order?"

Luo Xin looked at the recipe hanging on the wall and said, "Let's take four dishes from your store." ”

"Nope!" The little fat man shook his head like a rattle. Luo Xin was slightly stunned, and then said:

"Then let's have a Dongpo meat...... Then ......"

"Nope!" The little fat man continued to shake his head.

Luo Xin ordered a few more, and the little fat man shook his head vigorously, not to mention that Luo Xin was angry, and Lu Daqing was even more angry and shouted:

"You don't have anything here, what kind of bird shop do you have?"

"Yes, yes......" The little fat man nodded again and again.

"What's there?"

"Yes...... I'll take a look. ”

The little fat man ran towards the back kitchen like a ball of meat, and after a while, he came out with a dejected face, and said weakly:

"Guest officer...... And also...... And a turnip, half a cabbage......"

Luo Xin was amused by the little fat man in front of him: "You only have one radish and half a cabbage in a restaurant as big as yours?" ”

Before the little fat man could answer with a bitter face, he heard a mocking voice coming from the door:

"This guest officer, don't wait in this shop, his shop is going to be yellow."

Luo Xin looked up and saw a thin middle-aged man standing at the door, looking at the little fat man, his face full of sarcasm.

"Jia Bai, have you figured it out?"
