"That's what happened!" Luo Xin smiled faintly and said: "There will be no less rewards, and this official will not break his word." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Hoo ......"

He Nian gave a long sigh of relief, it's good to have money. He Nian has been mediocre for half his life because he has no background, and now he has met Luo Xin, and he has seen Luo Xin's methods again, and he thinks that it is time for him to change his fate. He wholeheartedly assisted Luo Xin, hoping that Luo Xin could go higher and higher, so that he could also rise to the top.

"What else?"

The smile that had just been cheerful for the New Year was condensed again, and there was some hesitation in his expression. Luo Xin said:

"Lord He, we have been working together for a long time, and you also know what I am doing, what do you have to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Now that He Nian has made up his mind to follow Luo Xin, he can't watch Luo Xin have an accident, and finally gritted his teeth and said:

"Lord Luo, there have been a lot of rumors about you recently."

"Huh? What rumors? Luo Xin asked with a smile.

"Say you...... Greedy for money, and vulgar. I don't like elegance, I only like copper smell. ”

Luo Xin couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and he couldn't help but say with a bitter face: "My lord, can you still laugh?" You must know that once you have obtained this name, your reputation will stink, Shilin will despise you, and it will be difficult for you to be promoted in the future. ”

Luo Xin waved his hand, the smile on his face gradually converged, and he sighed softly and said:

"I can't help it, now that the city is not up and running, has Your Majesty given me a penny? If I don't send those gifts to the pawn shop as collateral, what will I use to distribute the rewards to the officials of the city? ”

He Nian's face showed a look of shame and said, "My lord, you ...... Even paid out of his own pocket to distribute rewards to the officials of the city? ”

"What if not?" Luo Xin raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows and said: "Now the whole of Hangzhou knows that I have formulated a reward and punishment system, not only the officials of the city department are watching, the reason why they can work seriously and conscientiously is to wait for the end of the month to distribute rewards, if there is no money for them at that time, our efforts will be in vain in an instant." It is impossible to regain the situation we are in today. Because I've lost credibility. And the yamen of the prefect of Hangzhou are also watching our city, or they are waiting to see my jokes.

They won't believe that I could give money to reward the city officials, and they're just waiting to see how I end. Don't you think that the prefect yamen is fully supporting the establishment of the wharf by our city department? There is no difficulty in the slightest, if this is placed in normal times, do you think those moths of the prefect's yamen may be like this? ”

"This ...... It is Your Majesty's will, and your prestige is ......"

Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "There is a part of the reason for what you said, but the biggest reason is not this. ”

"What's that?"

"That's because they don't want to give me a handle, and if I can't get the money and blame them for the problem, they just don't want me to catch them and see my jokes. If I'm not mistaken, when they see that at the end of this month, I have given out a reward, and the next month they will make things difficult for us. ”

"How dare they?" Blowing the beard and staring at the New Year.

"Why wouldn't they?" Luo Xin sneered: "When the prefect's yamen saw that the officials of the city department could get so much money, but they could only get that little money, and it was likely that they couldn't even get all the money, how could they not be blushing?" A red-eyed person is capable of doing shocking things, let alone a group of red-eyed people? They will think that the city is just a piece of meat, and they want everyone to come up and take a bite. ”

"That'...... What are we going to do? By the end of the month, the pier would not be completed at all, and some buildings would have to be built. ”

"Cold salad!"

"Cold salad?"

"That's what the statement is."

He Nian was silent, and only then did he say, "My lord, the city boss can't always rely on your private money to distribute rewards, right?" ”

"Naturally not!" Luo Xin smiled faintly: "After the city is up and running, the natural wealth will roll in, and at that time I will redeem all the things that have been pawned." ”

Soon, the scribes of the city department knew that their lord had pawned all the gifts he had received in spite of his own stigma, just to distribute rewards to them. All of a sudden, the officials of the city department were moved, and the thought of the death of the confidant arose in everyone's heart, and the city was unprecedentedly united, and Luo Xin's prestige also reached an irreplaceable position in the city department.

Prefect's Yamen.

Song Danian and some officials, as well as famous gentry and celebrities in Hangzhou, were holding a cultural meeting in the back garden, saying that it was a cultural meeting, but these people got together in the name of holding a cultural meeting to talk about canceling Luo Xin.

"Huh...... I'm really looking forward to the end of the month as soon as possible to see how our Ming god of war can make money. ”

"It's just a vulgar person, full of copper stench, and it will definitely cause chaos in the city when the time comes, maybe he will be the shortest acquaintance in the history of the Ming Dynasty."

"I really can't figure out how a vulgar person like him, who is covered in copper stench, can pass the top prize? How can you become a great Confucian? I really doubt that "Confucius and Mencius" was not written by him. ”

“…………”

There was a sound of footsteps, but it was Song Danian's manager, Song Danian glanced at him and said:

"What?"

"My lord, there is news from the City Ship Division that the reason why Lord Luo pawned all the gifts is to distribute rewards to the officials of the City Ship Division at the end of the month."

"What?" Song Danian Huo Ran's color changed: "Is he crazy?" ”

The eyes of all the officials also showed Luo Xin's crazy gaze, in their opinion, Luo Xin was crazy, and that official would distribute rewards to his subordinates with his own money?

To do so is purely to the detriment of others and to oneself.

First of all, Luo Xin himself did not have the slightest benefit, but distributed the benefits that belonged to him, what is this not disadvantageous to himself?

Second, he did it and made other officials do it? Let Song Danian do this?

It has always been the merit and gold and silver of the superior officials who are greedy for ink and the lower officials, where is there a superior official who takes out his own money to distribute rewards to his subordinate officials?

Luo Xinken took out his own money to distribute rewards to the officials, and the prefect's yamen couldn't even pay all the money, which made Song Danian's subordinates look at him like this?

That's hurting! In addition, as I said before, it is to harm people and disadvantage.

And Luo Xin will get the officials of the entire Hangzhou Prefecture, and even the entire southeast, and then the entire Ming Dynasty. Isn't he afraid of what a thousand people will point to?

What do you say Luo Xin is full of copper smell and doesn't understand elegance. Now as soon as this rumor comes out, Luo Xin's shortcomings have turned into advantages. No one ever talks about Luo Xin's pawn things anymore.

"I don't believe that he Luo Xin can always use his own money to distribute rewards, even if he has ten thousand family wealth, it is not enough for him to squander it so much." An official said indignantly.

"He doesn't have to use his own money to distribute rewards all the time, as long as he gets through this difficult time and gets the city up and running, he will naturally have a lot of money, and then he will redeem those pawned things."

"Huh...... It's not what he says if the city division wants to operate, but what we people in the southeast say. They have been smuggling, and they don't go through the city at all, what should Luo Xin do? At that time, his market division will be an empty shelf. ”

"Wonderful, we must teach Luo Xin a lesson, put a cage on him, and let him do things for us obediently."

Luo Xin has been coming to Hangzhou City for a month, and finally at the end of the month, every official of the City Department not only got the full amount of money, but also got a lot of rewards, one by one smiling, praising Luo Xin, but Luo Xin was sitting in the room sighing.

He Nian looked at Luo Xin with a smile and said, "Are you really sure that the prefect's yamen will make things difficult for us?" ”

"Definitely."

"So what do we do?"

"Alas, I really don't want to mess up the southeast into a pot of porridge! I don't want to offend my colleagues, but they forced me! I would have turned my heart to the bright moon, but the moon shines on the ditch. Come. ”

"Master Hou!" Lu Daqing immediately walked in.

"Call Wang Ziren to come and see me."

"Yes, Master Hou!"

After less than half a quarter of an hour, Wang Ziren, the magistrate, walked in, bowed and said:

"I've seen my lord."

"How's that going for you to do?"

"Your Excellency, are you asking the prefect's yamen?"

"Hmm!" Luo Xin nodded slightly.

Wang Ziren took out a thick stack of papers from his arms and handed it to Luo Xindao with both hands:

"My lord, it's all here."

"How much?"

Luo Xin was startled, and quickly looked at it page by page, and the more he looked at it, the more gloomy his face became, and he slammed the stack of papers on the table and said:

"None of this is true?"

"Totally true."

Luo Xin frowned tightly and said, "With so many corrupt officials, no one in the entire prefect's yamen has been spared, how can you investigate so clearly in such a short period of time?" ”

Wang Ziren smiled bitterly: "This is because the entire southeast is erosive, those corrupt officials have no scruples at all, they don't hide their behavior at all, corruption has become the atmosphere in the southeast, only those who are corrupt can be promoted, and those who are not corrupt are excluded, and even eventually dismissed, or exiled by slander." They are openly blackmailing, openly giving gifts, and openly taking bribes, and they have no scruples at all. ”

"Good! Good! Good! ”

Luo Xin said hello three times in a row, and his face sank like water.

Three days passed in a flash, and on this day, Luo Xin was drinking tea in the second hall when he saw He Nian hurriedly walking in, with a look of anger on his face. When he saw Luo Xin, he said:

"My lord, as you expected, the prefect's yamen refused to allocate materials to us, saying that there was no one in the treasury, so let us wait."

Luo Xin nodded slightly: "Then did they say how long we should wait?" ”

"Nope!" He Nian shook his head and said, "They only said let us wait, and when they have supplies, they will notify us." ”

"Oh!" Luo Xin nodded slightly and said, "Then send someone to see it every day and blow it." ”

"My lord, this is clearly the people in the household who are making things difficult for us, not that there are no materials in the warehouse."

"I know, this matter is not urgent, you send someone to blow it every day."

"How can you not be in a hurry?" New Year's Eve Road.

"I said it's not in a hurry, it's okay, you go down first." Luo Xin said lightly.

He Nian stomped his feet hatefully, turned around and walked out, Luo Xin's eyes gradually narrowed, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. Slowly the sharpness in his eyes faded, Luo Xin got up from the chair, came to the window, looked at the back of the New Year outside the window and gradually disappeared, sighed lightly, and said in a low voice:

"In this place in the southeast, if you don't have the strength, you will make a rash move, and there is only a dead end. Let them be arrogant for a few days, and I think Your Majesty's reward for the eldest brother will be coming soon. ”

A sound of footsteps came, and two figures appeared in Luo Xin's field of vision, Luo Xin's gaze was Yixi, those two figures, one was Lu Daqing, and the other was Liang Botao. Luo Xin returned to the chair and sat down, the sound of footsteps outside the door came, Lu Daqing walked in with Liang Botao, and waited for the two of them to speak, Luo Xin stood up and said:

"Come with me."

Luo Xin took Liang Botao to the study, closed the door, and Liang Botao knelt down on one knee and said:

"Meet the head of the house."

"Get up!" Luo Xin stretched out his hand to help Liang Botao up and said, "Tell me in detail." ”

"Yes!"

Liang Botao stood up, and just as he wanted to speak, Luo Xin motioned for him to sit down, and then poured him a cup of tea with his own hands.

"My lord, we have thirty or so ships, and then we will start to go to their lair under the guidance of pirates. When we arrived on the island, we found that there were really not many pirates left, and almost all of them were women and children, even a few of them were sturdy, and we killed them instantly. We cleared seven pirates' lair, and when we began to drive towards the eighth lair, we found that Wang Zhi had begun to occupy the pirates, so we fled in a hurry, and if we hadn't dropped 300 thunderbolts, we would have been caught up by Wang Zhi's fleet. ”

"Is it safe for you to hide now?"

"Safe, absolutely safe. It was a deserted island with no human tracks on it. As long as we don't come and go frequently, we shouldn't be detected in a short time. ”

"Good!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "How is the harvest?" ”

"The harvest was great, seven pirates' nests were cleared, and we obtained countless supplies and gold and silver. He calculated and converted the goods into gold and silver, and now we should have about four million taels of silver. ”

"Good!"

Luo Xin's heart was full of joy, with these four million taels of silver, at least he could start to build some fortifications in the places where he could land on the island of Taiwan, so that even if he was seen by others and discovered the island of Taiwan, he would not be able to snatch it away.

"And we didn't kill the women and children of the seven pirates, but loaded them on ships and brought them to the island where they are today."

"How many are there?"

"There are more than five thousand people in total."

"Good!" Luo Xin stood up excitedly and said, "Now we need people who know about farming, those people will, right?" ”

"Hmmm! Will! Liang Botao nodded and said: "I asked them, they were all robbed to the pirate's lair, and before they were robbed, almost all of them were the peasant daughters of the Ming Dynasty and knew how to farm." ”

You stay in the house for the time being, and tomorrow you go out with me.
