"Thou hast given so much money to thy father every month, and thou hast given so much to thy father...... What's coming ...... Right...... Brainwashing is a method of brainwashing, if you can't pull out a third, where will the father have face? ”

"That's good!" Luo Xin pondered for a moment and said, "Those generals who have not been wooed must have our people placed around them, so as to control them as quickly as possible in case of emergencies." ”

"It's already placed!"

"That's good!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "There is no need to continue to develop, these people are enough." Keep looking for opportunities to brainwash them, and give them some money to be more faithful. If it continues to develop, once it is exposed, it will not be good, and these people are enough. ”

"Is it enough?" Luo Ping was a little worried.

"Enough!" Luo Xin nodded firmly and said: "With this third, even if you can't pull it out when the palace changes, it's enough to entangle the five military camps." Without the five military camps, the forces of Dongchang and Jinyiwei would be enough. ”

Southeast.

City Division.

Xu Shixing sat in the play, Xu Jie's two sons Xu Kun and Xu Ying sat on the chair on the left, and the head of the five great families sat on the chair on the right. Lu Ding and the other heads of the five great families had gloomy faces, and Xu Kun and Xu Ying looked disdainful.

Xu Shixing swept over the two rows of people with a serious expression, and said in a condensed voice: "I will bring you here today to discuss the matter of maritime trade, everyone can say what they think, and today is to make a charter." ”

"Lord Xu." Lu Ding said in a condensed voice: "It's not that we are making trouble, the two sons of the Xu family are maliciously fighting each other, originally Lord Luo set all the charters well, and everyone just acted according to the charter." The Xu family wants to come in, and we have no complaints, everyone trades their own according to the previous regulations. However, the two sons of the Xu family have repeatedly reduced prices, harming the interests of the Ming Dynasty, and giving up a lot of profits to the merchants of the vassal country, which is different from selling the country, I just want to ask, you are so undignified to please the people of the vassal country, does your father know? ”

"Fart!" Xu Kun and Xu Ying were furious.

"I've done everything, don't you dare to admit it?" Lu Ding said disdainfully.

"Xu Gongzi, can you explain?" Xu Shixing asked coldly.

"Nothing to explain." Xu Kun glanced at Lu Ding angrily and said, "We have a lot of goods, so we want to sell some cheaply, and we are willing." You can't afford to play, you can not play. ”

"If you don't play, you don't play!" Lu Ding stood up and arched his hand towards Xu Shixing: "Lord Xu, you have seen it and heard it." It's not that we don't want to contribute to the court, but the two sons of the Xu family don't give us a chance at all. At the price they offered, we were already losing money. In fact, if it was for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, we would have lost nothing, but the money we lost on our side was all earned by the merchants of the feudal kingdom. I don't know if the two sons of the Xu family have colluded with the merchants of the vassal kingdom to damage the interests of the Ming Dynasty. But we really can't go any further. From today onwards, Daming Sea Trade Company will be closed, and we will not do this sea trade. I will write to my nephew and ask him to speak to His Majesty. Leave. ”

"Slow!" Xu Shixing stood up and said with a wry smile: "Boss, aren't we discussing again?" ”

Lu Ding looked at Xu Kun and said, "Second son, are you willing to restore the price to the original price?" ”

"Don't even think about it!" Xu Kun squinted his eyes and said: "If you have the ability, you can play, and if you can't, you will roll." ”

"Second son......" Xu Shixing's face sank, but Xu Kun waved his hand and said: "Lord Xu, you can pay a lot of taxes, why do you care so much?" ”

"You ......"

"Sneer......" Xu Kun sneered and said: "Lord Xu, now our Xu family is in full contact with those vassal merchants, if our Xu family really quits, those vassal merchants can't find the merchants to trade, maybe they will go to smuggle, at that time, you won't be able to collect taxes." ”

Xu Shixing's face changed, this is a naked threat. What feudal country smuggles, it is simply the Xu family that smuggles. In the past, it was because the Xu family couldn't get in touch with the merchants of the vassal country, but now they have full contact with the merchants of the vassal country, if Xu Shixing really eliminated them at this time, they would smuggle with the merchants of the vassal country on a large scale. At that time, Xu Shixing really couldn't collect taxes.

What the?

When is it time to crack down on smuggling?

Xu Shixing had no soldiers in his hands.

Looking for Hu Zongxian?

Will Hu Zongxian take care of it?

On one side is Xu Jie, the first assistant of the cabinet, and on the other hand, he is promoted by this small city secretary, who will Hu Zongxian give face?

Xu Shixing suddenly ran out of ideas.

Lu Ding shook the sleeves of his robe fiercely, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, the five of us won't play this Daming Sea Trade." The old man threw his words here today, if the imperial court wants us to participate again in the future, there are our five families, and there will be no Xu family. ”

"Hehe......" Xu Kun and Xu Ying laughed without concealing their disdain. Looking at the back of Lu Ding and the five great families leaving, he said:

"You still think Lu Bing was alive!"

Lu Ding's back trembled, and then strode away.

Yuxi Palace.

Huang Jin walked in, looked at Emperor Jiajing, who had just recovered a little bit and was meditating and cultivating there, he didn't dare to speak, and stood quietly to the side.

In the middle of the sound, Emperor Jiajing opened his eyes and looked at Huang Jindao: "What's the matter?" ”

"Lu Yi is asking to see him outside."

When Emperor Jiajing heard this, he sighed and said, "Let him come in." ”

Lu Yi was led in by Huang Jin, knelt in front of Emperor Jiajing with a puff, and cried:

"Minister, please see Your Majesty."

"What kind of pain are you crying, what is it? Unproductive, this is a tiger father and a dog. ”

"Minister...... Letter from home......"

"At home? What's at home? ”

"Hometown!" Lu Yi handed Lu Ding's letter to Huang Jin, who took it and handed it to Emperor Jiajing. Emperor Jiajing opened the letter and read it from beginning to end.

In his heart, all the actions of the Xu Mansion were written in great detail, and Emperor Jiajing frowned slightly. This is the five major families represented by the Lu family and the Xu family competing for trade dominance, and he can naturally see it at a glance. This level of fighting, Emperor Jiajing really didn't want to pay attention to it.

I'm afraid of trouble!

And now that Lu Bing is dead, as long as the Lu family is not ruined, Emperor Jiajing is not willing to deal with it. If this matter is managed, won't you bother him with everything in the future? So, he said:

"I know, you go down."

"Your Majesty......"

"Go down!" Emperor Jiajing suddenly raised his voice.

"Obey the order, the minister retires."

Lu Yi walked away in a gray manner, left Yuxi Palace, looked back at the gate of Yuxi Palace, and said in a low voice:

"Lord Luo, our Lu family has really withdrawn. Can this really move Xu Jie? ”
