Chapter 661: Dust with Light
Thank you very much for the rewards of Jiang Fengliunian, Qiaotou Ghost Shadow, Hao 13, and Nanmangkhut!
Lu Ding just wanted to not only participate in the market on the open side and get a piece of the pie, but also continue to smuggle in the dark to earn greater benefits. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info He believes that Luo Xin will not refuse, because the Lu family is not an ordinary family, and without the support of the Lu family, Luo Xin will not be able to move an inch if he wants to operate the city.
Without the support of the Lu family, no one in the entire southeast family would pay attention to him Luo Xin at all, and if you established the City Ship Division, there would be no family to do business with the City Ship Division, and the various families would still continue to smuggle. Anyway, everyone has done a good job of smuggling, and they will also make profits, so why do you want to let the market company take a part of the profits through your market company?
There is no family that does business with the city, the city is a joke, and it can't collect the goods at all, so what can it do with the vassal state?
Lu Ding firmly believes that as long as Luo Xin dares to disagree with their Lu family's explicit and secret involvement, the city will not be able to do a single business at that time, and as long as this situation lasts for three months, Emperor Jiajing will immediately dismiss Luo Xin's official, and Luo Xin at that time will be nothing.
The Lu family has this ability and control, the entire southeast Lu family is the real emperor of the soil, and the prefects have taken office, and the first person to visit is their Lu family. Since Luo Xin took office, he has not come to visit their Lu family, but Lu Ding feels that this is not strange, because a fellow acquaintance has not yet been qualified to visit their Lu family. If it weren't for Luo Xin, a fellow intellectual, who was in charge of the city, he wouldn't have looked at him, let alone invited Luo Xin to be a guest.
In his opinion, Luo Xin is a dog, he is the dog of Emperor Jiajing, and he is also the dog of their Lu family. Not to mention Luo Xin, a fellow acquaintance, even Hu Zongxian, who is famous in the southeast, does not dare to provoke their Lu family.
This is because they have a Lu Bing in the Lu family!
Therefore, at this time, Lu Ding's mentality was arrogant, and he looked at Luo Xin and said lightly: "The second request of the old man is to hope that after the establishment of the City Division, the original business of the Lu family will not be disturbed. ”
As soon as this sentence came out, even Luo Xin, who was mentally prepared, couldn't help but look stunned. Then he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, and there was no anger in his heart, it was really impossible to cry and laugh.
Who gave him Lu Ding so much courage?
What is his Lu family's business?
Smuggling!
Although Lu Ding didn't say it so bluntly, of course, Lu Ding didn't dare to say it bluntly, the successive emperors of the Ming Dynasty were in the forbidden sea, what is the forbidden sea, that is, the piece is not allowed to go to the sea, not even fishing, how can smuggling be allowed, as long as it is caught, it is the crime of killing the head.
Of course, there are no officials in today's smuggling, and officials and businessmen and pirates have colluded together to make a fortune, which is to trap the emperor Lao'er.
Now although Emperor Jiajing is ready to open the sea, he can only go through the city, and if he is caught by smuggling, there must be only one way to kill his head. But Lu Ding wanted to let Luo Xin smuggle him a way today, how could this not make Luo Xin smile bitterly?
And Lu Ding not only wants to get involved in the official business, but also wants to continue smuggling?
Did he think Lu Bing could really cover the sky with one hand?
However, Luo Xin's face was stunned for a moment, and then he regained his calm. There is no need to tear your face with Lu Ding in person, there are some things that you don't need to say with your mouth, just do it. For a person like the Lu family who is used to being the emperor of the earth, only when he is hurt can he know that his strength is just an illusion, and in fact he is just an ant.
As for Lu Bing......
Emperor Jiajing has a feeling for Lu Bing that others don't have, but Emperor Jiajing, who is cold by nature, can't let Lu Bing get involved in the city, because Emperor Jiajing is poor!
Now that the Ming Dynasty has even sent out the officials' salaries, whoever dares to grab silver from him at this time will be his mortal enemy, not to mention Lu Bing, even Emperor Jiajing and his son crawled out of the coffin, and Emperor Jiajing will not be polite.
Again......
I think that at the beginning, Luo Xin was still a white Ding, and when he was very weak, he was not even afraid of Yan Song, who was in power and the opposition, would he be afraid of Lu Bing?
"Hehe......" Luo Xin smiled twice and said: "These things are still far away, and there is no formed charter in my heart now, so I still wait for the dock to be established, and after the charter is mature, how about talking to the boss?" ”
Lu Ding was very satisfied with Luo Xin's attitude, but he was not satisfied with the result. So he smiled and said:
"Let's talk about it first, the old man is a few years older than you, maybe he will give you some ideas."
"What a kick in the face!" Rao is Luo Xin was able to calm down, and at this time, a trace of anger rose in his heart, and a smiling look appeared on his face:
"Then the old man might as well write a charter and send someone to send it to the device, and the device will definitely read it carefully."
"Hehe......" Lu Ding laughed dryly, he naturally wouldn't write any charter for Luo Xin, although he was arrogant, but he wouldn't leave a handle for Luo Xin, he said it was okay verbally, anyway, he wouldn't admit it when he went out of this door. But it's different when you write it.
"You don't have to, hehe......"
"You don't dare!" Luo Xin secretly said that he had lost the desire to talk to Lu Ding at this time, stood up, and arched his hand towards Lu Ding:
"Boss, there are still many things in the yamen, so I will leave."
Lu Ding didn't keep it, although Luo Xin never let go, but he didn't refuse, he thought that as long as he gave Luo Xin some means in the future, Luo Xin would obediently comply. So he was still very satisfied with today's meeting with Luo Xin, and stood up with a smile and said:
"Old decay to you."
"Don't dare!"
"Must deliver."
"Thank you, sir."
Luo Xin left the Lu Mansion and sat in the carriage, his eyes flashing.
It seems that the wealthy families in the southeast don't regard themselves as a thing at all, Emperor Jiajing is pressing tightly, if he can't make a profit in a short period of time, Emperor Jiajing will definitely not take a break, and when Xu Jie is leading those imperial histories and the like, his mission in the southeast will be over. Therefore, it will definitely not work step by step, and you must take drastic medicine in the southeast, and you have to give those wealthy families a ruthless one.
After this ruthless pass, I am afraid that it will immediately cause the crazy revenge of those wealthy families in the southeast, and those Xu parties in the court will not sit idly by, and I will immediately be in the limelight.
Hehe......
Then let the storm come harder!
Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing did not come back, Luo Xin knew that they were waiting for the court's reward, and after the reward came down, Qi Jiguang and Luo Xin would both return to Hangzhou. And at that time, not to mention whether Qi Jiguang will be promoted, his eldest brother will definitely be promoted, and once he is promoted, there will be more soldiers under him. With Qi Jiguang's soldiers, Luo Xin can make a big move.
However, now the main task is to start building the pier. So, the next day, Luo Xin went to Haining with officials from the city's shipping department to survey the terrain, and then began to build a wharf in a place where the water depth of the Qiantang River was suitable.
Luo Xin began to get busy, and strictly restrained his subordinate officials, and there were assessments every day, and if he failed to pass the assessment three times, Luo Xin directly got rid of the killer, the demote who should be demoted, the dismissal of the dismissal, and the dismissal of the dismissal. Although only one person was fired, two people were demoted, and one person was dismissed, the impact on those officials was very huge, and in just a few days, the entire atmosphere of the yamen was suppressed, the efficiency of handling affairs was greatly improved, and the operation of the city department began to become smooth.
Luo Xin knew very well that he was ordered to be in danger, if he couldn't earn money, not to mention that Emperor Jiajing was not satisfied, even the entire Ming Dynasty would be paralyzed.
Officials can receive half of the salary for a month and half of the salary for two months, but if this continues, these officials will lose their motivation and become full of resentment, and the Ming Dynasty will deviate from morality, and the world must be chaotic. Therefore, Luo Xin must make money, and only by making money can Daming be able to stabilize again. But if you want to make money, the city department must be an efficient yamen, without the slightest delay and impetuousness. Moreover, the city is a yamen that deals directly with silver, and there is no corruption at all. That's why Luo Xin is so resolute.
The effect is not generally good, these people in the city department have seen Luo Xin's thunder methods, and these people have no background, if they want not to be demoted, if they want not to be fired, they can only work seriously and work diligently, so as not to be caught by Luo Xin.
Seeing that everything in the city was on track, Luo Xin was more or less relaxed. Then he began to hold some literary meetings from time to time, inviting some gentry and celebrities, and posing as a light and dust.
And those gentry and celebrities also gave Luo Xin face, that is, Lu Ding was invited to participate in the literary meeting held by Luo Xin. It seems that the relationship between Luo Xin and these southeast giants is very harmonious.
In fact, Luo Xinxin is very clear that these are all revealed on the surface, but in fact, at every literary meeting, the two sides are testing each other and talking to each other.
Luo Xin learned about the composition of the southeast through these literary meetings, and at the same time confused those wealthy families in the southeast, making them feel that they came to the southeast to make a fortune with everyone, and they didn't want to embarrass everyone.
Luo Xin did this for these two purposes, one was to further understand the situation in the southeast, and the other was to confuse these wealthy families.
It is clear that Roxin's approach has paid off. If nothing else, let's just say that Luo Xin's reputation has begun to have a positive image in Hangzhou, and those wealthy families have begun to no longer remain silent, and have a positive evaluation of Luo Xin.
With Luo Xin's act of releasing goodwill, although those wealthy families are still waiting, no one is making trouble when Luo Xin establishes the city, they are all waiting and watching Luo Xin's final attitude.
In this case, Luo Xin's life became better and better, so he began to go to the school to give lectures, and the purpose of his lecture in the house was different from that of others. When others go to the government to teach, it is all for fame, in order to accumulate fame, and eventually become a great Confucian.
But Luo Xin is already a great Confucian, and he doesn't need these fames to make him a great Confucian. He has only one purpose, and that is to win the hearts of Southeast students.
These students who have not yet stepped into officialdom, although some are old, but most of them are still young, so their blood is still hot, and it is easy to worship a person. Luo Xin is to conquer these young people, those gentry and celebrities have been stinking with fame and fortune, Luo Xin cannot win the worship of those people, but these young people are different, they are still at a relatively impulsive age, even if they are also the children of a wealthy family, it is possible to fight with the family for the ideal in their hearts, Luo Xin wants this effect, and only this purpose, let the children of these wealthy families become an obstacle to the wealthy family.
As the saying goes, a strong fortress is breached from within. Only when there are internal contradictions and conflicts among these wealthy families can Luo Xin's pressure be reduced.
Luo Xin has never despised the enemy, so he has no matter how big or small, and he began to lay mines for those wealthy families from all aspects.
And Luo Xin has such a purpose, he is very kind to the children of those wealthy families, as long as they raise academic questions, he always answers in great detail, which not only makes the children of those wealthy families grateful, but also their parents have a better perception of Luo Xin.
Whether it is to have a better business relationship with Luo Xin in the future, or because of Luo Xin's teaching to his juniors, these wealthy families began to give gifts to Luo Xin. Luo Xin is the one who came did not refuse, all the gifts were under his hands, gold and silver storage, other gifts, such as antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc., Luo Xin pawned out, although it was only pawned for half a year, it could be redeemed within half a year, but Luo Xin did not hide from others.
At this time, the entire southeast family knows that Luo Xin doesn't like antique calligraphy and painting, only gold and silver. Therefore, these wealthy families in the southeast, while despising Luo Xin's vulgarity in their hearts, no longer gave Luo Xin any antiques and calligraphy and paintings, but specially sent gold and silver.
this day.
He Nian came to the second hall worriedly and met Luo Xin. Luo Xin saw the worried appearance of the New Year, so he said:
"Lord He, why are you worried?"
"My lord, what do you think of the officials and scribes in the yamen now?"
Luo Xin nodded happily and said: "Yes, these officials and scribes have been working hard recently, and the work efficiency of the city department has been greatly improved. ”、
"But...... But ......" He Nian said worriedly: "This is about to come to the end of the month!" ”
"What's going on at the end of the month?" Luo Xin glanced at He Nian, and his eyes showed a trace of puzzlement.
"O Yulu, my lord!" He Nian said with a smile: "According to your assessment, many officials and scribes not only have to take all their money, but also have rewards, and those rewards are equivalent to their money. Where does our city have this money now! If we don't have money to give out rewards at the end of the month, people's hearts will immediately disperse, and the city will fall. No one wants to follow a boss who breaks his word. Even if they don't have a place to go, they won't care about the assessment anymore, and when they don't care about the assessment, can you expel them? Isn't the city a shelf? ”
