Chapter 1510 Pilot Success
But in the end Luo Xin offered to go to Shandong by himself, and he still owed Zhang Juzheng a little bit in his heart. After all, Zhang Juzheng instigated this whip, and he took the initiative to find himself and give it to him, so he would give up the relatively easy place. To Zhang Juzheng.

After the matter was settled, Luo Xin and Zhang Juzheng left the capital respectively, one went to Shandong and the other to Suzhou.

Things went smoothly beyond Luo Xin's expectations. On the one hand, this is indeed a measure that benefits the country and the people, and the resistance is inherently small.On the other hand, Luo Xin's prestige is there.The name of Luo Beheading is not for nothing. He also beheaded many officials in Shandong.Therefore, Shandong officials, from top to bottom, cooperated extremely with Luo Xin.

As for Zhang Juzheng's side, Luo Xin did not say hello to the Suzhou side either. Luo Xin's world is in the south, and more than [-]% of the officials are in Luo Xin's camp.The reason why Luo Xin didn't say hello to Suzhou and opened the door for Zhang Juzheng was because he wanted to experience Zhang Juzheng.He didn't stop Zhang Juzheng, but he didn't take the initiative to help either. Everything went according to the normal procedure.He believed that Zhang Juzheng could handle it, but the future chief assistant of the cabinet couldn't even handle this kind of situation, how could it be possible?

Things were exactly as Luo Xin thought, Zhang Juzheng's side was also relatively smooth, but slower than Luo Xin's side, and the slowness was not bad.

Three months passed in a flash, and both of them completed their return to the court one after another.The next step is the review by the imperial court, and if all goes well, it will be promoted throughout the country.

This is a great achievement for both Luo Xin and Zhang Juzheng.

Any successful reform is a great achievement.

When Luo Xin returned to the capital, he immediately chose to keep a low profile.He is different from Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Juzheng didn't have any great credit, the success of this pilot is a big credit to him, so he needs a high profile.And since Luo Xin entered the officialdom, which contribution is not greater than this?
If the credit is too much, too much, it will become the target of public criticism.Therefore, Luo Xin went to and from get off work on time, hiding himself like a transparent person.

this day.

Luo Xin was sitting in his duty room drinking tea when a scribe reported that Zhang Juzheng was visiting.Luo Xin was slightly stunned. He didn't know why Zhang Juzheng came to him at this time. The two of them joined forces secretly, which can be said to have tricked Xu Jie, but that was already in the past tense. Could it be that Zhang Juzheng really wanted to make this secret alliance continue?
Anyway, Luo Xin enthusiastically invited Zhang Juzheng in, and the two chatted while drinking tea.

"No, it's better to stay here." Zhang Juzheng sighed.

"What's so good about me here?" Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "It's just a Qingshui yamen."

"You can't say that! At least you don't have so many troubles here."

"Why? There are a lot of chaos in the household department now?"

Zhang Juzheng curled his lips helplessly and said: "There are always troubles in the household department. This time when we came back from the pilot project, many people saw that I had done a good job. Anyway, I don't like it. And the money we collected in the pilot project, as well as the Shibo Department and The money from the exchange market was also sent to Beijing. Immediately, countless people were eyeing the Ministry of Household Affairs. And... Ever since my mentor revealed that he wanted me to enter the cabinet, many people have alienated me and usually speak sarcasticly. That’s all, there are still people Going around collecting my mistakes... makes me miserable."

"It turns out that the Xu party is not at peace!" Luo smiled confidently, but he still persuaded him: "Taiyue, ten fingers are not evenly aligned, don't worry too much about it."

Zhang Juzheng looked directly at Luo Dao: "Is that why you feel at ease?"

"Whether you feel at ease or not, you have to live like this." Luo Xin said indifferently: "There are many people who are popular."

"People are popular?"

"It's just hot."

Zhang Juzheng nodded, indicating that he understood.After a while, he said: "I think my mentor is a little hasty."

Luo Xin was silent, he knew the meaning of Zhang Juzheng's words, because in the past few days, Xu Jie had already started to promote Zhang Juzheng's entry into the cabinet.But with Zhang Juzheng's qualifications and contributions, it was really close.

"It's not the right time." Luo Xin finally said.

"But the teacher is right!" Zhang Juzheng's face was a little tangled: "You should also know that the edict for the recovery of the veterans has been drafted, and those old guys will come back soon. If we don't stand in advance, wait When they come back, where is our place?"

"That's true, but it's not a big deal." Luo Xin said lightly.

Zhang Juzheng rolled his eyes and said: "It's not a big deal to you, you are now the Minister of Rites, you are a serious minister, and you have made great achievements many times, so you are not afraid of being pushed by the court. But what about me?"

Luo Xin was silent, Zhang Juzheng said it well, the position of Minister of Rites is to prepare for entering the cabinet, as long as no big mistakes are made, entering the cabinet in the future is inevitable, it's just a matter of time.And he has made great contributions many times, which has made up for his youthful shortcomings.But Zhang Juzheng was much worse. He was older than Luo Xin, but compared with those in the cabinet, he was still young, so his age was also his shortcoming.But he is not a minister of the Ministry of Rites, and he has made little contribution.Want to enter the cabinet, but the resistance is not small.

However, upon hearing this, Luo also understood in confidence the purpose of Zhang Juzheng's coming here, which was to support him himself.

Zhang Juzheng had already expressed his own meaning, so he remained silent, and when he saw Luo Xin also remained silent, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, rarely fidgeting.After a while, Luo Xin said softly:
"Actually, you and I have the same temperament and like-mindedness. It's just Xu Jie. I will support you."

There was a soft voice on Zhang Juzheng's face, he cupped his hands and said, "No, thank you. I owe this favor."

Luo Xin shook his head and said, "It's nothing. I told you once that I will support anything that is beneficial to Daming. And I think that it is beneficial to Daming that you enter the cabinet."

A look of gratitude appeared on Zhang Juzheng's face, not because Luo Xin was willing to support him in the cabinet, but because Luo Xin recognized him.At this moment, in his heart, he really took Luo Xin as his confidant.

"No, this time we're done, and the next step is to promote it nationwide. You and I will continue to go north and south, and finish this matter perfectly."

Luo Xin shook his head and said: "When the moon is full, you will lose money. Too much is too late."

"Yes!" Zhang Juzheng sighed, and looked at Luo Xin with admiration, envy, and envy: "You, Luo Xin, were famous all over the world, and you contributed to the stability of Daming, and you are also responsible for Daming's finances." Your credit and reputation have reached the extreme. You no longer need credit. If you continue to show off at this time, not only will your reputation not be increased, but it will also attract more jealousy."
