After walking forward for about 100 meters, Luo Xin walked into a restaurant, asked for a private room, and sat in. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Wan Daquan stood by the window, looking out into the street below. The guy at the restaurant quickly served four dishes and a soup, plus a pot of wine, and about two quarters of an hour later, a man walked by on the opposite street, smiled toothily at Wan Daquan behind the upstairs window, nodded slightly, and then slowly left. Wan Daquan had a smile on his face, returned to Luo Xin's face, and whispered:

"The spies who followed them were killed."

"Hmm!"

Luo Xin nodded slightly, he knew that there were many people who were following him, and among those people were not only the powerful families in the southeast, but also Hu Zongxian's people, and even the people of the Japanese Kou. But Luo Xin killed them all without hesitation, even Hu Zongxian's people. He didn't need to know who those spies were, just follow him and kill them all.

In the southeast, if you don't show your fangs, you will be eaten so much that you can't even leave the dregs.

"Didn't leave a trace?"

"No, they're all veterans!" Wan Daquan grinned.

"Sit down!"

"Yes, Master Hou!" Wan Daquan sat down.

After less than a quarter of an hour, there was a knock on the door of the box, Wan Daquan stood up, came to the door, opened the door, and saw a very ordinary-looking middle-aged man standing outside, the middle-aged man saw Wan Daquan and said softly:

"Thinking about Gongjin back then, Xiao Qiao got married for the first time."

Wan Daquan also replied in a low voice: "It makes me unhappy." ”

The middle-aged man had a joy on his face, squeezed into the door, and Wan Daquan closed the door behind him, still pondering in his heart.

"Hou Ye deserves to be the champion of the Ming Dynasty, and this poem is a good one. That little Qiao beauty is married, and as a man, she is naturally unhappy. ”

At this time, the middle-aged man had already saluted Luo Xin and said, "The villain Hou Deli pays a visit to Lord Hou." ”

"Get up."

"Master Xie."

"Sit!"

"Yes!"

Hou Deli sat on the chair in an orderly manner, Luo Xin looked at him and said: "Let me ask you a question, the southeast is the granary of the Ming Dynasty, but now I see silk shops all over the streets and alleys, where does this silk come from?" ”

"Back to the Hou Ye, now the people in the southeast have many mulberry trees, but less grain."

Luo Xin frowned slightly and said, "Why?" ”

"Because of silkworm farming."

Luo Xin thought about it for a while and understood that the only reason for this result was maritime trade.

"It seems that smuggling is rampant in the southeast!"

"Yes!" Hou Deli said softly: "There is no family here that does not smuggle, even the main industry of the old Xu Jie's family in this dynasty is silk. ”

"Hehe......" Luo Xin laughed, his voice full of coldness.

"What else is there to say?"

"Master Hou, don't look at the southeast where it is rich on the surface, but in fact, the people are very miserable. There is no one here who is not greedy, and the people are miserable, but they have no way to complain. A few years ago, fortunately, there was a Hai Ruihai Lord, but Hai Daren was arrested because of the impeachment of Yan Song in the previous book, and now he has not been released. ”

Luo Xin smiled bitterly in his heart, then Hai Rui was not only impeaching Yan Song, if he only impeached Yan Song, he would have been released at this time. He simply abused the emperor, so now he is locked in prison, and no one dares to intercede for him. However, Luo Xin also knew that Hai Rui in history had been locked up by Emperor Jiajing, but he did not kill him. It wasn't until Emperor Jiajing died that Hai Rui was released, and the official gradually became bigger. Shaking his head slightly, he said:

"Go on."

"Yes, Master Hou......" Hou Deli said for about two quarters of an hour, and then said with an embarrassed look on his face:

"Master Hou, the dart bureau in Suzhou has just been established, and the channels for collecting news have not been fully established, so we can only collect these news."

Luo Xin nodded and said, "To speed up the channels for collecting information, it is best to bury a few spies among the pirates and pirates, I want to know their whereabouts." ”

"Yes, Master Hou!"

"There are also those powerful families, including the Governor's Palace, who will bury spies as soon as possible."

"Yes, Master Hou!"

"You immediately do something for me, inform Tang Zhuang, and send people with combat ability to Hangzhou to me."

Hou Deli swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "Master Hou, there are not many people in our dart game who have combat ability, these people still have to defend the dart, if these people leave, this dart game will not be able to open." ”

Luo Xin frowned, Hou Deli was right, the people recruited by Tang Zhuang were originally veterans who had been injured on the battlefield and retreated, which of those veterans was not injured? There are certainly not many people who still have combat capabilities.

Seeing Luo Xin's frowns, Hou Deli said softly: "Master Hou, it's not that there is no way?" ”

"What's the solution?" Luo Xin raised his eyebrows.

"Master Hou, since the establishment of our Bafang Dart Bureau, the lives of the robes have been better, and the family has been able to eat well, and they can also help the family members of the robes who are still in the army. This matter reached the ears of those robes in the army, and those robes heard about the dart game founded by the Tang dart master, and they all wanted to escape from the army and join our dart game. It's just that the Tang Dart Master didn't agree. It's just that they know that this dart game was opened by Tang Dart, if they knew that there was you behind them, they would have escaped a long time ago. Hou Ye needs a group of veterans who can fight effectively, so you might as well start from this aspect. ”

Luo Xin fell into deep thought, now there is no war in the north, in fact, recruiting some veterans from the army will not affect the defense of the border pass. Moreover, there are millions of soldiers at the northern border, not to mention a few thousand people less, even a few tens of thousands less, which is not a big deal. Seeing Luo Xin pondering there, Hou Deli said again:

"Master Hou, the brothers in the army are having a hard time, the military salary is deducted by the officials, and there are not many of them, and many people can't even ask for a wife, even if they ask for a wife, they can't afford to support their brothers. And even if Hou Ye didn't recruit them, there would be tens of thousands of deserters every year. ”

"Tens of thousands of deserters?" Luo Xin's expression tightened: "Why are there so many deserters?" There are tens of thousands every year, and in those years, where are there still soldiers at the border gates? Aren't the generals afraid? ”

A look of anger appeared on Houdeli's face and he said, "They wish that there were as many deserters as possible, so that they could eat empty salaries." ”

Luo Xin closed his eyes, and a look of pain appeared on his face. This Ming is really rotten to the roots.

"Lord Hou......"

Luo Xin opened his eyes, and said with a determined look in his gaze: "Inform Tang Zhuang as quickly as possible, and recruit five thousand capable soldiers from the army to Benhou." The requirement is that first of all, you have to be a sailor. The second is to know how to water, and if these two items are gone, recruit others. ”

"Yes!" Hou Deli nodded and said: "However, Master Hou, I am afraid that there are not many people who have been sailors, at most they want to recruit some people who have been fishermen and have driven fishing boats, and there should be many who know how to water." ”

"Go, let those people enter Hangzhou one after another, and I will arrange for them as soon as possible."

"Yes, Master Hou!"

Hudley stood up, gently opened the door and walked out. Luo Xin beckoned to Wan Daquan and said:

"Eat."

"Yes! Master Hou! ”

It was not the first time that Wan Daquan had eaten with Luo Xin, but he was not restrained, and he threw off his cheeks and ate. In less than two quarters of an hour, the two men had finished their meal, walked down the stairs, and walked down the street towards the Doge's Palace.

Day 2.

Luo Qing and Luo Sheng came in a hurry, and Luo Xin did not entertain them at the Governor's Palace. Instead, he took two people to a restaurant and asked for a box, and Wan Daquan stood outside the box and didn't let anyone in.

Inside the box.

Luo Qing looked at Luo Xin and said, "Little brother, what are you doing in such a hurry to call us here?" ”

Luo Xin told about the cooperation with Hu Zongxian, and Luo Qing pondered for a while and said:

"Little brother, this matter is not appropriate!"

"What's wrong?"

"Do you want the five hundred soldiers we brought to become sailors, and then sail out to sea with two ships?"

"How?"

"It's too big!" Luo Qing frowned and said, "It's okay if you do it just once, if you do it too many times, it will inevitably be discovered that it is you behind it." No, it will definitely be discovered. When the time comes, those people will impeach you in the court, Your Majesty, he ......"

"I'll only do it once!" Luo Xin said with a smile.

"That's good!" Luo Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked strangely: "If you only do it once, you don't need to train our own people to become sailors, even if you use the soldiers of the Ministry Hall, just do it once, the Ministry Hall Lord will not say anything." ”

"Actually, I'm not in the sea trade!" Luo Xin said as he moved the dishes on the table to the side, then took out a piece of paper from his arms and spread it on the table.

"This is a chart?" Luo Sheng glanced at the drawings on the table and blurted out in surprise.

"Hmm!" Luo Xin nodded slightly.

"Where did you get that?"

Hearing Luo Xin's words, Luo Qing asked even more surprised, he had also been in the southeast for a while, but he knew that it was not easy to get a nautical chart, and the reason why those pirates were crisscrossing the sea was because their nautical charts were more complete and detailed. However, he saw that the chart that Luo Xin had placed on the table contained a large area and was very detailed. This was not surprising to him.

"This is what I painted!"

"You drew it?" Luo Qing and Luo Sheng were even more surprised.

Luo Qing swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Little brother, this is not a joke, if the drawing is wrong, then the matter will be big." ”

"Rest assured, it's very accurate."

Luo Xin said firmly, secretly saying in his heart, can this be inaccurate? I drew it to the scale of the posterity. Stretching out his finger and pointing to a large island:

"I named this island Taiwan. The island is still an unexplored island, and pirates should not have discovered it. So there should not even be pirates on it, only some natives. We're going to take this pirate. ”

"Occupy a pirate?" Luo Qing and Luo Sheng looked at Luo Xin in surprise.

"Yes!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "Big brother, cousin." The two of you should also know that our Luo family has no foundation in Daming. We are no better than those families, whether the Ming Dynasty has changed dynasties or not, those officials in the court are born from those families. And our Luo family, as long as Your Majesty is angry, I am afraid that our Luo family will disappear completely.

You should also know my current situation, and maybe one day, Your Majesty will order me to be beheaded. When the time comes, our Luo family will ......"

"Little brother, will Your Majesty really do?"

Luo Xin sighed and said: "Your Majesty will not be long in life, it is very likely that he will not leave me to his son, he is afraid that his son will not be able to control me, so let me also stage a yellow robe." ”

"And you occupy this island?"

"As a place for our Luo family to live in, and also as a place for our Luo family to prosper. Such a big island, and there are also indigenous people on the island, our Luo family can build a country there. ”

"Nationhood?" Luo Qing and Luo Sheng's eyes lit up.

"Not bad!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "I have recruited 5,000 capable soldiers, and then I will come to Hangzhou one after another." Before they come here, I need you two to train those five hundred men into sailors in the shortest possible time, to be able to control those two ships, and at the beginning of spring, Wang Zhi will exterminate this, this, and this, this ......"

Luo Xin pointed to several islands and said, "The pirates on these islands. I believe that in the process of extermination, there will definitely be fish that slip through the net. Your goal is to intercept these pirates, rob their ships, capture them, and form their own navy. Then you don't come back, and then you become a new force of pirates at sea, and you can gather small groups of pirates in the shortest possible time. When the 5,000 capable soldiers arrive, you will carry them to the island of Taiwan and establish our real power there. So, today I'm going to ask my two older brothers for their opinions. This island of Taiwan must be firmly in the hands of our Luo family, so one of the two elder brothers must stay in Taiwan, which of the two elder brothers is willing to go? ”

"I'll go!" Luo Qing and Luo Sheng spoke almost at the same time.

Luo Xin pondered for a moment and said, "Then cousin go." The eldest brother will not stay in the southeast for too long, and when I gain a firm foothold in the southeast, I will transfer the eldest brother to the north. Then the eldest brother went to the grassland, took the grassland in his hands, and made the grassland another force of our Luo family. ”

"Good!" Luo Qing and Luo Sheng's eyes were full of excitement.

"Big brother, you will go back to Hangzhou tomorrow. Cousin, you and those five hundred robes stay, and I will greet Hu Zongxian tomorrow. ”

"Brother Xin, don't worry. My 500 soldiers are all people who know how to water, and as long as Hu Zongxian's people are willing to teach, I promise to train them within half a month. Just ......"

"Just what?"

Luo Sheng's face showed a look of embarrassment and said: "It's just that even if those five hundred soldiers are trained into sailors, they are all sailors who are just familiar with ships, especially they are not familiar with naval warfare, and we only have one ship." If you run into a pirate ship, you're only afraid of it...... I'm just afraid ......"

When he said this, Luo Xin and Luo Qing both understood in their hearts, and Luo Xin's face couldn't help but show a look of worry. These five hundred soldiers were all trained by him and Luo Sheng's henchmen, and if they died like this, it would definitely be a huge loss for the Luo family. couldn't help but look at Luo Xin worriedly, but when he saw Luo Xin's face with a confident smile, his spirit couldn't help but lift.
