"If you want to stay, you will stay. What is the rambling? Luo Xin glared, and that fan withered, and honestly followed Lu Daqing.

Hu Zongxian and Liu Shouyou sat for a while, and then left with a full stomach. Luo Xin sat alone in the second hall, and the officials who passed by around him all relaxed their steps, and they could feel that the atmosphere was wrong.

Besides, that fan was arranged by Lu Daqing to stay, and there were five fans sitting in his room at this time. They came together, and the other four fans looked at the fan who saw Luo Xin and said:

"Brother Wang, how did we stay? Isn't Your Majesty anxious for us to bring back Lord Luo's letter? ”

"What can I do?" Brother Wang said irritably: "Lord Luo asked me to stay, what can I do?" ”

"But...... We don't go back, the old ancestor ......"

Brother Wang stood up and walked back and forth on the ground. Half-ringing, he paused and said, "I'll write a letter to the ancestor first." Li San and Zhang Kui, the two of you, sent the letter to the old ancestor. ”

"Good!" Li San and Zhang Kui nodded.

Brother Wang spread out the paper, picked up the pen and began to write, writing down everything after meeting Luo Xin, as well as every word that Luo Xin, Hu Zongxian and Liu Shouyou said. Then put it in an envelope and seal it. handed it to Li Sandao:

"Return to Beijing immediately."

"Yes!"

The two men quickly left the room.

Luo Xin stood up, walked out of the door, came to the courtyard, looked at the gloomy clouds in the sky, sighed softly, and said in a low voice:

"Cousin, it's supposed to be here."

"Master Hou!" Lu Daqing's voice came from behind.

"What's the matter?" Luo Xin didn't look back and asked softly.

"There's someone at sea." Lu Daqing said softly.

Luo Xin's spirit was lifted, Huo Ran turned his head and said, "Where is it?" ”

A person walked in from outside the door and saluted Luo Xinshi, "The villain has seen Lord Luo." ”

"Follow me!"

Luo Xin led the man to the study, and then closed the door. The man knelt down in front of Luo Xin with a puff and bowed again:

"Greetings to the lord."

"Get up!" Luo Xin helped the man up: "Liu Qiang, how is it?" ”

"My lord, we have conquered the natives of Lingnan, in fact, the Ming Dynasty only occupies one-third of the territory in Lingnan. Most of the territory is still in the hands of the indigenous people of Lingnan. With knives and guns in one hand and wine in the other, we quickly subdued the natives. It's really like the lord said, rice can be grown three times a year, and there is a lot of grain there. We just traded some of the things they didn't have, especially the glassware we produced, and mirrors, for a lot of food.

Now 20 million stone grain is about to arrive at the port. There will be food deliveries in the future. Rice has already begun to be planted in Lingnan, and it will mature in three months. Perfectly suited to our needs. ”

Luo Xin waved his hand and said: "It is impossible to fully meet the needs, after all, the Ming Dynasty is too big, and now it can be said that most of the country is famine." But with these grains in Lingnan, it is still possible to keep the people of Daming from starving. When will the fleet arrive? ”

"Two days. Will arrive in two days. ”

A relaxed smile finally appeared on Luo Xin's face, Da Ming suffered such a natural and man-made disaster all of a sudden, how could Luo Xin not think of serious consequences?

You don't need to look at the reports from all over the world to know that the consequences are very serious. Therefore, he got in touch with Luo Sheng very early, and asked them to take Lingnan at all costs and get food from there, not asking to be able to feed the people of the Ming Dynasty, as long as they can drink a bowl of thin food every day and not be starved to death, and persist until the autumn harvest, everything will be better.

And this is also a rare opportunity for the development of Taiwan and the grassland, take Lingnan, Taiwan and the grassland will have a grain depot, and you can use these grains and Ming in exchange for the iron tools and other materials they have been lacking.

"What's going on over there?"

"Soon, in half a year, we will drive all the Japanese warriors who resist us into the sea, and we will occupy the entire Japanese country. Then, while developing, exterminate the Japanese at sea. ”

"Good!"

"How's the prairie?"

Luo Xin asked again, this attack on Lingnan, because the vast majority of Taiwan's troops are in the Japanese state, and if they want to destroy the Japanese state in the shortest possible time, they will also depart part of their forces to patrol the sea to intimidate the Japanese and make them dare not enter the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, there really are not many troops to capture Lingnan. However, Taiwan does not, but the grassland does. Taiwan only needs to provide a small number of troops, only ships are sufficient, and the army is provided by the grassland. Therefore, this time it was the grassland and Taiwan that jointly captured Lingnan. When Liu Qiang heard this, a smile appeared on his face and said:

"My lord, I heard from the people of the grassland that they have opened up half of the Silk Road, and it is estimated that in another year or two, they will be able to completely open up the Silk Road."

"Great!" Luo Xin was overjoyed, stood up and walked back and forth on the ground twice, paused and said, "Liu Qiang, you stay first." ”

"Yes, my lord." Liu Qiang stood up, saluted Luo Xin, and then retreated.

"Hoo ......"

Nobun let out a long breath, went to the table, and began to spread out the paper and write a chapter.

After writing the chapter, Luo Xin instructed Lu Daqing to invite Liu Shouyou, Hu Zongxian, and the heads of the five major families. Soon, these people came to the second hall. Luo Xin had already set up a banquet, and when he saw Luo Xin's face not only full of smiles, but also a sumptuous banquet, his heart was inexplicably relieved. The special Hu Zongxian can be said to be a person who witnessed Luo Xin's legend in the southeast, so he thought in his heart that Luo Xin must have come up with a way to solve the problem of the Ming Dynasty, and just sat down, he said with a smile:

"No, what's the good news?"

"Good news!" Luo Xin smiled: "However, there are many things that trouble my brother." ”

This time, not only Hu Zongxian's eyes lit up, but Liu Shouyou's eyes also lit up. The two of them couldn't help but look at the five family masters, in the eyes of the two of them, Luo Xin called the five family masters, it must be the five families who are ready to sell Luo Xin grain. With Luo Xin's prestige in the southeast, the relationship with the five great families is really not a problem.

In fact, the five major families have already been prepared, although they are not as deep as Luo Xin thought, they did not expect that Da Ming would probably fall into a scene of rogue riots and smoke everywhere in a month. But he also knew that Daming was short of food. Therefore, they are ready to sell everything to Luo Xin except for the food they have enough to eat, and it doesn't matter if they even donate some. At this time, seeing Liu Shouyou and Hu Zongxian looking over, the five masters glanced at each other, and Lu Ding said:

"Lord Luo, the five of us have calculated, each family can take out 500,000 stone of grain, each family will donate 100,000 stone, and the remaining 400,000 stone will be sold to the imperial court at the market price. In this way, it is 2.5 million stones, and the five of us can also mobilize others to sell food, so it should be no problem to raise enough 3 million stones for adults. If it goes well, it should be able to scrape together four million stones. ”
