Chapter 1017: Xu Shixing's decision
Eight days passed quickly.
During these eight days, Luo Xin either played around or held a literary meeting, and lived a leisurely life.
Those merchants of the vassal kingdom listened to Xu Shixing's words, but they didn't make any more trouble, because they knew that Luo Xin had returned. Luo Xin not only has great prestige in their hearts, but also has the greatest trust. They also wanted to visit Luo Xin, but they were all rejected by Luo Xin.
By the evening of the eighth day.
Xu Luqing came to the city with a tired face and asked to see Luo Xin, but Luo Xin didn't take it big, and personally went out to invite Xu Luqing in.
Take a seat and serve tea.
Then Luo Xin didn't speak, and Xu Luqing squeezed out a smile on his face and said:
"Lord Luo, I'm pleading when I come down."
"Say, I'll help if I can." Luo Xin said with a smile.
Looking at the smile on Luo Xin's face and listening to the words in Luo Xin's mouth, Xu Luqing was even more bottomless in his heart. But he had been cornered, and although he had sold his land and had enough gold and silver, he could not buy enough goods. Because in the southeast, seventy percent of the goods are monopolized by the five major families. If you give the Xu Mansion time, you can buy it slowly, and if you go to a farther place, you can also buy it, but it will cost you some more gold and silver.
But......
Luo Xin only gave Xu Fu ten days, which was simply an impossible task. Therefore, Xu Luqing had to endure the humiliation to beg Luo Xin. He took a deep breath, lowered his posture and said:
"How many days is it possible?"
Luo Xin said lightly: "You can ask Ling Zun to ask Your Majesty, if Your Majesty agrees to a grace period of a few days, I have no problem." ”
Xu Luqing was happy in his heart, he secretly said in his heart, he was written by his father, and his father asked His Majesty again, regardless of whether His Majesty agrees or not, this time and again, it is nearly ten days have passed, even if His Majesty does not agree, he has nearly ten days of time, and he can prepare the supply of goods sufficiently, so he saluted Luo Xin and said:
"Then thank you Lord Luo, I'll go back and write a letter to my father."
Luo Xin looked at Xu Luqing, who stood up with excitement on his face, and said lightly:
"Whether you write a letter or not, when you write a letter has nothing to do with the official, the official is just waiting for the deadline to come, as long as the Xu family is not ready to trade the goods, the official will copy the Xu Mansion."
"You ......" Xu Luqing's face turned red with anger: "You are teasing me?" ”
Luo Xin's eyes narrowed, and his face sank: "This official doesn't have so much time and mood to play with you, the time has been set for your Xu family, who do you think you are?" Can you change the will of the officer? ”
"Good, good! Luo Xin, the coming day is long, and there will always be a day when the mountains and rivers meet. ”
Luo Xin said lightly: "I met with Mr. Ling Zun, and the result of the meeting, I think Mr. Xu also knows." ”
Xu Luqing looked at Luo Xin fixedly for a while, then flicked the sleeves of his robe and left.
After he left, Xu Shixing turned out from behind and said with some worry:
"Lord Luo, if you persecute and humiliate Xu Luqing like this, aren't you afraid that the Xu family dog will jump off the wall in a hurry?"
A hint of fierceness flashed in Luo Xin's eyes and said: "If his Xu family dares to jump over the wall, I, Luo Xin, dare to kill the dog." I'm afraid that his Xu family doesn't have the guts. ”
While speaking, Lu Daqing walked in and bowed his hand to Luo Xin: "Master Hou, Xu Luqing went to the landing mansion." ”
"Sneer......" Luo Xin couldn't help but sneer: "Xu Jie is a well-known timid and cautious person in Daming, how can his son be a desperate person?" This is called a writer's biography. ”
"Did he go to Lu Mansion?"
"Of course, I want to ask the five great families to sell him the goods."
"Then the five great families will sell the goods to him, right?" Xu Shixing said with a hint of relief on his face: "If the five great families can sell the goods to the Xu family, they will be able to complete the transaction, and the city will be able to collect the customs duties." ”
"Do you think it's possible?" Luo Xin rubbed his temples and said.
Xu Shixing's expression was stunned and said, "Could it be that the five great families still refuse?" Are they not afraid of Xu Jie's revenge in the future? ”
"Alas......" Luo Xin continued to rub his temples and said: "Ru Mo, you can't always keep your eyes on your one-third of an acre of land, and always look at the tariffs of the city. ”
Xu Shixing's face turned red and said, "That...... What else is the lower official staring at? ”
"Nothing in the world can be viewed independently, just like this transaction with the vassal country, at this time it is not only limited to tariffs, nor is it limited to the southeast, this is another confrontation between me and Xu Jie. I don't want to raid Xu Jie's house, but I can't let Xu Mansion pass this level so smoothly. ”
"This ...... Is it going well? ”
Luo Xin shook his head and said: "This confrontation with Xu Jie, which is also a confrontation between our Fuxing Society and the Xu Party, so I have to do three things through this matter."
The first point is that it is necessary to cause losses to the Xu family in terms of property to the greatest extent within the scope of allowability. Ru Mo, if a prince wants to ascend to the throne, he needs a lot of money to buy off the military generals of Wenchen. Do you think that Xu Jie, as the leader of a party, just moves his mouth, and all the military officials in the world worship at his feet? ”
Xu Shixing thought for a while and said: "Xu Jiele is kind and charitable, and often helps scholars from all over the world and some officials. ”
"How much does he have a year?" Luo Xin said lightly: "Where did he get so much money?" All his money came from the Xu Mansion. Where did Xu Fu get so much money? Before Xu Jie became an official, Xu Jie only had a few hundred acres of land, but after he was an official for 20 years, Xu Mansion had 200,000 acres of fertile land, which were all taken by skill. Therefore, this time I want to let the Xu family lose a lot, I calculated, this time there are a lot of merchants from the feudal kingdom, and if he wants to complete this transaction, he will almost lose half, that is, 100,000 acres of fertile land. This will make Xu Jie's pain to the bones. I want to see, without a lot of financial support, how can he Xu Jie buy off civil and military officials? And ......"
Luo Xin's eyes narrowed slightly: "Even if he sells his family property and completes this transaction, I will let His Majesty see that the Xu Mansion can complete a transaction with the vassal kingdom with the family property of the First Mansion, and he is richer than His Majesty." At that time, what do you think Your Majesty will think? ”
Xu Shixing gasped, and this Luo Xin was also ...... It's too ruthless. But...... And that's the first point......
But his heart was excited.
A leader can't be a bad person, only by following someone like Luo Xin will he have a future.
"The second point is to let Xu Jie's reputation fall to the lowest point, and this reputation is divided into two aspects. On the one hand, the Xu Mansion is clever and robbing, and the reputation of greed is about to be confirmed. On the other hand, to let those officials who follow Xu Jie see that he Xu Jie can't even protect his own home, do you still expect Xu Jie to protect them? ”
"Ruthless!" Xu Shixing admired Luo Xin so much: "What about the third point? ”
"The third point is to create a shadow for Xu Jie psychologically, so that he hates me to the bone, but he doesn't dare to provoke me easily.
Ru Mo, people have a subconscious. As long as I let Xu Jie subconsciously fear me, he will unconsciously avoid the conflict with me. He will think like this, I will not conflict with him Luo Xin first, and when I defeat Gao Gong and completely control the court, at that time, it will be easy to deal with Luo Xin. ”
