Inside the study.

A hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of Xu Jie's mouth, and he said to an official standing opposite him: "Lourdes, it seems that the merchants in this capital don't give us Luo Hou face!" ”

"Merchants are profit-seeking, and Luo Hou wants to take out the silver from the pockets of those merchants, which is simply a fool's dream."

"His dreams have nothing to do with us, but it's an opportunity for us. And we're not the only ones who have taken advantage of this opportunity! ”

The ridicule at the corner of Xu Jie's mouth was expanding, and the official said with a solemn expression: "Elder Ge, do you mean Guozijian?" ”

"Hehe......" Xu Jie nodded with a smile and said: "Now, the city is full of wind and rain, and the streets and alleys are talking about Luo Xin's renovation of the Wanshou Palace for His Majesty. The war in the north has just passed, and the people are struggling to make a living, but at this time, Luo Xin wants to repair the Wanshou Palace for His Majesty, which is undoubtedly lighting a fire. If it weren't for Chen Yiqin forcibly suppressing those Ziguo eunuchs, those scholars might have run to the gate of the palace to die by now, hehe......"

When Xu Jie said this, a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "Do you know why I agreed to Gao Gong's proposal to let Luo Xin be responsible for repairing the Wanshou Palace?" ”

"Humble and stupid."

"Huh...... I know the mind of the high arch. He was also optimistic about Luo Xin's financial ability, so he proposed to His Majesty to let Luo Xin be responsible for the renovation of the Wanshou Palace. But his purpose is not only to repair the Wanshou Palace for His Majesty, he wants to prove Luo Xin's financial ability through this matter. If Luo Xin proves his financial ability, he will advise His Majesty to release Luo Xin. ”

"Outside?"

"Yes, Lourdes, do you think if Your Majesty releases Luo Xin, where will Luo Xin be put outside?"

"This ...... His Majesty's release of Luo Xin is nothing more than letting Luo Xin earn money for His Majesty. And now the only place where Daming can earn silver is to open the sea...... Could it be that His Majesty wants to send Luo Xin to the southeast? ? ”

"Not bad!" Xu Jie's eyes showed appreciation: "If Luo Xin can really solve the matter of repairing the Wanshou Palace, His Majesty will definitely send Luo Xin to the southeast, and the official position will not be small." And Gao Gongda means this, because he knows that His Majesty has always supported me before, and now his support for him is always insufficient, just because Luo Xin is in the capital. Only by driving Luo Xin out of the capital will that time be the real battle between me and Gao Gong. And I also want to really duel with Gao Gong and really determine my place in the cabinet. Therefore, Luo Xin, who is now in the capital, is a stumbling block between me and Gao Gong, and he must be kicked away.

Of course, it would be better if Luo Xin could be put to death, I have been doing such things, but Luo Xin's city is really deep, so I can't do anything about him. And I don't know what means he used, His Majesty actually made him the teacher of King Yu, which is too much of a threat to us. Therefore, since Luo Xin cannot be completely overturned, he has no choice but to retreat and drive Luo Xin out of the capital. When I have confirmed my position in the cabinet, it will not be too late to pack up Luo Xin.

This is one aspect of my agreement with Gao Gong's proposal, and the other aspect is also our chance to strike a fatal blow at Luo Xin. If Luo Xin can't solve the matter of repairing the Wanshou Palace, and causes riots, such as the current situation, Guozijian is a fire, and once this fire becomes a prairie fire, it can burn Luo Xin to death. Therefore, regardless of whether Luo Xin has the ability to manage money or not, it is beneficial to us and no harm. ”

"Your Excellency! So let's just sit back and watch the storm rise? ”

"Of course not!" Xu Jie smiled faintly and said, "Kick Luo Xin out of the capital, where is it clean to put him to death?" You go and arrange it, let our people in the Guozijian make a big noise and push Luo Xin into a desperate situation. ”

Kofu.

Den.

Chen Yiqin looked anxious and said to Gao Gong: "Lord Gao, now that the city is full of wind and rain, I can't control it a little bit, those students are very emotional, they have already shouted the slogan of the two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, and they want to go to the palace to die." ”

"Then what are you doing here with me?" Gao Gong's face sank and said, "Why don't you go back and control the situation?" ”

"Bang ......"

There was a knock on the study door.

"Come in!"

As soon as Xu Jie's words fell, he saw his old housekeeper push open the door and said, "Master, there is a person named Wu Qiugui outside who wants to see Master Chen." ”

Xu Jie's eyes looked at Chen Yiqin, Chen Yiqin's face changed greatly, before he left Guozijian to Xu Jie, he asked Wu Qiugui to be optimistic about which students, but at this time, Wu Qiugui ran here, this ...... Something must have happened. Seeing Chen Yiqin's face change dramatically, Xu Jie's gaze also shrank, and he said in a deep voice:

"Let him come."

"Yes, sir!"

The old housekeeper left in a hurry, and soon Wu Qiugui was led in by the old housekeeper, and before Wu Qiugui could speak, Chen Yiqin asked urgently:

"But something happened to the country?"

Wu Qiugui cried and said with a sad face: "Lord Chen, the students have gone to the gate of the palace......

"What?" Chen Yiqin looked flustered and said, "Didn't you make you optimistic about them?" How do you do it? ”

Wu Qiugui was about to suffer: "There are too many students, they were still quiet at first, and they didn't know what was going on, but they suddenly broke out, and they couldn't stop them at all." ”

"Bang!"

Gao Gong rose and strode towards the door. Chen Yiqin couldn't help but follow behind and said, "My lord, where are you going?" ”

"Where are you going?" Gao Gong paused, looked at Chen Yiqin and shouted, "Where else can I go?" If you let such a student make a big incident, do you think I can get out of the relationship? Luo Xin's renovation of the Wanshou Palace is recommended by me. Xu Jie, you old horseman. ”

Xu Jie...... Your ......, sir."

"You have already pacified the students of Guozijian, but suddenly there is a riot, if it wasn't arranged by someone, do you think such a thing would happen? The old puppet is really ruthless! Kill two birds with one stone! ”

"Then you ......"

"Go to the palace gate first to calm the situation, and you go with me. That's right......" Gao Gong looked at Wu Qiugui and said:

"Wu Qiugui!"

"Humble duty!"

"You go to Luofu immediately and inform Luo Hou of the matter."

"Yes, what do you have to tell Luo Hou?"

Xu Jie closed his eyes, and opened his eyes in less than a breath and said, "No, you just need to tell him what happened here." With Luo Hou's strategy, he would know what he should do. ”

"Yes!"

Luo Fu.

At this time, more than 20 people in the hall were already a little unable to sit still, and two quarters of an hour had passed, and Luo Xin had not yet appeared, and a sneer appeared on his face, and he began to whisper.

"Brother Wang, Luo Xin really thinks he can hold us."

"That is, even if he is an official?"

"He's too proud, do you think we're those steppe tartars who can be killed at will?"

"After a while, he won't be proud."

"Hehe......"

In the side hall, Zhou Yu and the others heard the conversation in the main hall, and they couldn't help but change color, and their eyes became angry. Originally, Zhou Yu and the others were angry when they learned that these twenty or so people who came were not the main owners of the various trading houses, and when they heard their unscrupulous words again, they couldn't wait to rush out and scold them. At the same time, he looked at Luo Xin worriedly. Luo Xin had a faint smile on his face, but he still didn't mean to go out. After about a quarter of an hour, a person quietly walked in from the side door, it was Lu Yuan, came to Luo Xin, handed a piece of paper in his hand to Luo Xin, Luo Xin glanced at it, and then handed it to Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu After reading it, his expression changed dramatically, and his hand trembled and passed it to Zhang Xun, and at this time, Luo Xin got up from the chair, and then walked out from the side door, bypassed the house, and walked into the hall from the gate.

Hearing the footsteps at the door, the whispers in the hall were quiet, and more than twenty pairs of eyes looked at Luo Xin, Luo Xin's face showed a smile, and he arched his hand to everyone:

"I've kept you waiting!"

Don't look at the twenty or so people who were talking happily in the house just now, looking down on Luo Xin, when they saw Luo Xin coming in at this time, they had already stood up one by one and saluted Luo Xin:

"Meet Luo Hou."

"Everyone, please get up!"

Luo Xin walked to his seat and sat down, and more than two dozen people stood up and looked at Luo Xin. Luo Xin said indifferently:

"I have summoned you here today to repair the Wanshou Palace." Speaking of this, his expression sank: "It's just that none of your merchants are righteous, have you done the Lord?" ”

"Luo Hou!" At this time, Zhang Zhigu's younger brother saluted Luo Xin and said: "My brother is in poor health, so let the villain come, Your Majesty will repair the Wanshou Palace, and our Zhang firm is willing to donate five hundred taels of silver." ”

Luo Xin's face fell at that time, his gaze became sharp, and he said coldly: "Bold, what do you think of Your Majesty?" Donate 500 taels of silver? Do you think Your Majesty is a beggar? ”

"I ......"

As soon as Luo Xin was powerful, the majesty on his body exuded, and when he heard Luo Xin say this, his face turned pale. His lips trembled, but he didn't know what to say.

"Someone!"

"Master Hou!" Immediately, the four generals of Luofu came in from outside.

"Knock him out!"

"Yes!"

A family came forward, grabbed Zhang Zhigu's younger brother, threw it out of the gate, and with a "poof" sound, he was thrown outside, and he screamed, and before he could get up, the four generals rushed over with sticks and hit him. He scrambled to get up from the ground and was beaten out screaming all the way.

The hall was silent, and more than 20 people looked at Luo Xin with fearful eyes, they didn't expect Luo Xin to really dare to fight! Thinking of Luo Xin's words just now, he scolded Zhang Zhidong, saying that he treated His Majesty as a beggar, which was disgusted with Zhang's firm for donating less!

But......

They can't be the master at all, and when they come, they have been told by the head of the family how much to donate. These people couldn't help but glance at each other, and secretly said in their hearts:

"It seems that today's beating can't be avoided! Beat it, don't dare to kill us anyway. I want to see, after beating me away, how do you Luo Xin repair the Wanshou Palace for Your Majesty? ”

Therefore, although a person is pale and his eyes are frightened, he is ready to stiffen with Luo Xin in his heart.

"Sit down, everyone!" Luo Xin's voice sounded faintly.

Everyone sat down honestly and made up their minds that no one would speak this time. If Luo Xin asked him and others to donate, he would tell the number of the head of the family, and then he would be beaten.

Zhou Yu and the others in the side hall looked at each other, they didn't know what Luo Xin was doing, especially the paper they saw Lu Yuan bring in just now, the paper said that the students of Guozijian had all run to the palace to admonish, which was simply trying to put Luo Xin to death. On this side, Luo Xin beat the donors away. Could it be that Luo Xin knew about the matter of Guozijian and didn't dare to raise donations?

However, if he doesn't raise donations, how can he repair the Wanshou Palace?

"Ben Hou summoned you here this time, not to ask you to donate. There is no money in the court, and you don't need to donate money to repair a longevity palace. The whole world belongs to His Majesty, and His Majesty will lack those few pieces of silver? Someone would dare to treat His Majesty as a beggar, damn it. ”

When everyone heard Luo Xin's words, a look of confusion appeared in their eyes.

Didn't Luo Xin ask them to donate?

That...... What are they gathering for?

Could it be...... Want to buy materials from them to repair the Wanshou Palace?

Thinking of this, everyone's spirits couldn't help but lift, but then they felt that it was impossible. What is the situation of Daming's finances now, others don't know, don't they businessmen know yet?

This made them even more confused, and they didn't know what kind of dragon gate array Luo Xin was arranged. However, at this time, their spirits were more focused, for fear of missing a word from Luo Xin's mouth.

"Since you are not the rulers, I don't care why your master did not come today. But I'll just say the rest of the story, and you'll hear it. ”

Everyone is in a tight spirit, even Zhou Yu and the others in the side hall are also in a tight spirit. I heard Luo Xin's voice ringing coldly.

"This renovation of the Wanshou Palace requires sand, stone, bricks, tiles, wood, paint and other materials, and I will choose one of you for each material, and only choose one. And the imperial court will issue a plaque to each family, and the plaque has only four words on it

Royal Exclusive! ”

"Buzz ......"

There was a commotion in the hall, who were these people? It's a businessman! Merchants seek profit, and it is only at this moment that they reflect how important this "royal exclusive" has on them.

For example, there are three brick-making firms in the capital, and if anyone gets the royal brand, they will monopolize the market in a very short time.

No matter who builds a house, if the price of the three brick firms is the same, but the other is a firm that specializes in providing bricks for the palace, who will buy it?

Do you still need to ask?

This...... The business opportunities are simply limitless!
