Chapter 1019: Intermediary
Even if he doesn't distribute it, let Xu Jie's old man return to his hometown, at that time, what status does Xu Jie, who has just been raided, have?
I'm afraid that a person can come up and bully it, what kind of prefect, county order or the like, it can definitely make Xu Jie's family ruined.
Originally, Xu Luqing also wanted to talk to Luo Xin about the conditions, but our Xu family also sold their family property and prepared enough silver, so they had a good attitude, right?
The reason why you didn't complete the deal with the vassal kingdom was because the time you Luo Xin gave was too short. Even if you can't change the time, you can always mobilize the five great families and let them sell us the goods, right?
Of course, this is not Xu Luqing's ultimate goal, his ultimate goal is to force Luo Xin to persuade the five great families to sell the goods to the Xu family cheaper.
However, now seeing Luo Xin's attitude, he immediately dispelled this idea.
Joke!
Luo Xin simply held back his bad idea, waited for himself to organize the source of goods, and then raided his home. With the grudge between Luo Xin and Xu Jie, it is very normal for Luo Xin to do this.
Don't think about the price of the five great families, as long as Luo Xin is willing to come forward to persuade the five great families to come out, and he is willing to sell the goods to the Xu Mansion.
Xu Luqing sighed in his heart, and said with a sincere and humble smile on his face again:
"My lord, now we can't buy the goods we trade in the vicinity, we can only go further away to buy them. But there are obviously not enough in this world. ”
"It has nothing to do with me." Luo Xin said lightly.
Xu Luqing was choked by Luo Xin, but he could only endure it, and he had to smile and say:
"My lord, the lower official wants to ask your lord to persuade the five great families to sell their goods to the Xu Mansion."
"Oh?" Luo Xin glanced at him, and said with a reluctant look on his face: "You can go to the five great families by yourself, in terms of business, as long as you are willing to give money, there is no reason why they will not sell." ”
"They just don't sell it!" Xu Luqing's face showed a look of anger.
"Huh?" Luo Xin's face showed a look of surprise and said, "They told you in person? ”
"That'...... Not really! Xu Luqing's face showed embarrassment and said, "They don't see me at all." ”
Luo Xin frowned slightly and said, "It may not be that I don't see you, right?" Don't spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, I have been in contact with the five major families, and their hearts are not so narrow-minded. ”
Xu Luqing was almost fainted by Luo Xin, what do you mean?
Am I a villain? Are they gentlemen? I spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain?
"Adult ......"
Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "By the way, I remembered." At the beginning, your Xu Mansion forced the five great families to go to the north to expand new trade routes, they should have gone to the north and not come back, right? ”
"This ...... It's not our Xu Mansion, it's my two unsuccessful younger brothers. ”
"Sneer......" Luo Xin sneered and said, "Your brother is not from the Xu Mansion?" ”
Xu Luqing took a deep breath and arched his hand towards Luo Xin: "My lord, please help." ”
Luo Xin thought for a moment and said, "Okay." If they didn't come back from the north, it wasn't because they didn't help. ”
"It's all up to you."
Luo Xin nodded and shouted towards the gate, "Daqing." ”
"Master Hou!"
"Go to the five great families to send posts, and I will invite them to a banquet in the city tonight."
"Master Hou!" Lu Daqing hesitated: "I heard that the head of the five great families went to the north. ”
"You go and deliver the post first, and if they're not there, you come back. If they are, give them the post and come back and tell me that I can prepare for the feast. ”
"Yes! Master Hou! ”
Luo Xin stood up and came to the table, Lu Daqing hurriedly laid out the paper, and studied ink for Luo Xin. Only then did Luo Xin pick up his pen and write five posts, and then Lu Daqing left the hall with five posts.
Luo Xin returned to his seat and sat down, glanced at Xu Luqing and said, "Brother Lu Qing, wait for the news." ”
"Thank you, sir."
Luo Xin waved his hand and said no more. And Xu Luqing didn't have the heart to speak at this time, he looked towards the door from time to time, and as time passed, anxiety gradually appeared on his face, and it became more and more intense.
Finally, footsteps sounded outside the door, and Lu Daqing's figure appeared at the door, stepped into the door, and said to Luo Xinshi:
"Master Hou, the family of the five great families just came back this morning. They had agreed to come to the feast. ”
"Good!" A smile appeared on Luo Xin's face: "Tell me to go down and prepare a banquet." ”
"Yes, Master Hou!"
Lu Daqing retreated, Luo Xin looked at Xu Luqing and said, "Brother Lu Qing, you can go back, just wait until the evening to come to the banquet." ”
"Thank you, sir."
Xu Luqing's face showed a grateful smile, and he saluted Luo Xin: "That...... Lu Qing took his leave. ”
"I'll send you."
"Don't dare, please stay, sir."
"Let's send it away."
Luo Xin insisted on sending Xu Luqing outside the gate and exchanged salutes with Xu Luqing. Xu Luqing turned around, and the smile on his face became gloomy.
"Just came back this morning?" Xu Luqing gritted his teeth: "I haven't left the southeast at all, the five great families, good, good, good, you wait." When the Xu family passes this level, they will not let you go. ”
At dusk.
Xu Luqing first came to the city, and before half an hour had passed, the heads of the five major families came together. Luo Xin, Xu Shixing and Xu Luqing personally greeted them outside the door. After seeing Luo Xin, the heads of the five great families all showed bright smiles on their faces, and said to Luo Xin:
"I've seen Lord Luo."
"I've seen Lord Xu!"
The Lord Xu in the mouth of the five masters is naturally not Xu Luqing, but Xu Shixing, who was promoted by the city boss. The five people didn't seem to see Xu Luqing, which made Xu Luqing's face very ugly.
"Okay, we're all old friends, so there's no need to be so polite. Please. ”
"Please!"
Everyone moved again and entered the flower hall. A banquet has been set up in the flower hall, and after Luo Xin is seated, everyone has taken their seats. Luo Xin picked up his wine glass and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, meet again after a long absence, this official respects everyone."
"Don't dare, we should give you a toast."
The five major families hurriedly stood up, and Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "Sit down, sit down, don't care who respects whom, let's have a drink." ”
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
After three rounds of drinking, Luo Xin put down his wine glass, his eyes swept over everyone, and everyone sat up straight and looked at Luo Xin.
"Lord Lu!" Luo Xin looked at Lu Ding and said, "This time, the five of you went to the north to expand new business routes, how are you expanding?" ”
Before Luo Xin came to the southeast, Luo Xin and the five great families had already made plans in secret exchanges. Therefore, Lu Ding smiled at this time and said:
"The effect is gratifying, the five of us can give up sea trade from now on, and go to the north in the future. We just came back this morning, and tomorrow we will start sorting out our belongings, and in three days, we will leave for the north. ”
