Luo Fu.

Luo Xin looked at Lu Yi and said: "You may not be able to move Xu Jie, Your Majesty is afraid of trouble now, let's take one step at a time." However, it is a good thing that the Lu family has withdrawn. The Lu family is now at a low ebb, so it's better to keep a low profile, it's nothing more than to make less money. Tell Lu Ding, don't have other thoughts, be honest. ”

Lu Yi's heart was a pang, and he nodded: "I understand." ”

Yuxi Palace.

"Xuan Liu Shouyou."

Two quarters of an hour later, Liu Shouyou came to Yuxi Palace and knelt in front of Emperor Jiajing, who looked at Liu Shouyou and said:

"Do you know about the Southeast City Division?"

"Yes!"

"Tell me!"

"Yes!"

Liu Shouyou talked about the southeast in detail, and Emperor Jiajing listened to it again, feeling that there was no difference from what Lu Dingxin said, so he nodded and said:

"Does it affect taxes?"

"Not for the time being, but the minister is worried that once the Xu Mansion fully grasps the maritime trade transaction, it will affect the tax revenue of the city."

"How dare he?" Emperor Jiajing said lightly: "Okay, I know. Continue to keep an eye on the city and the Xu family. ”

"Yes!"

"Go ahead!"

"The minister retired."

Liu Shouyou retreated, and Huang Jin said softly: "Your Majesty, the Lu family ......"

"Humph!" Emperor Jiajing said lightly: "Even if the Lu family has no sea trade transactions, the money that Lu Bing earns will not be able to spend in their Lu family's two lifetimes." ”

City Division.

The merchants of the feudal kingdom blushed and quarreled thickly, but Xu Kun and Xu Ying were old gods.

The reason is very simple, after the withdrawal of the five great families, the Xu family immediately raised the price of the transaction to the original height, which made the hearts of the merchants of the feudal kingdom who had tasted cheap suddenly unbalanced. immediately quarreled with the two sons of the Xu family, and threatened that if the Xu family still maintained this price, they would not trade.

Xu Kun and Xu Ying only showed mockery on their faces, and finally threw away their sleeves. They didn't care about these vassal merchants at all, and they never looked down on them. When their Xu family was not involved, these merchants were able to accept the price of the five great families, but now they can't accept it?

No way!

It's just greed.

However, the two brothers believed that it was impossible for this group of feudal merchants not to buy Ming ceramics, tea and silk, and that if they stayed here for one more day, they would lose one more day. Sooner or later, they would come to them, and they didn't care about the threat of the merchants of the vassal kingdom.

Of course, they were also wary of those vassal merchants going to the Five Great Families to smuggle them. Therefore, they are also monitoring, if the five great families dare to smuggle, they will dare to destroy the five great families. Now that Lu Bing is dead, the first assistant of the cabinet is their father, and the prefect of Hangzhou is their father's student.

Did the merchants of the feudal kingdom go to the five great families?

Definitely looking for it!

However, they didn't even get the door in, and the heads of the five great families didn't see them at all. This made Xu Kun and Xu Ying full of disdain for the five great families in addition to regret.

And Xu Shixing and Jin Yiwei, who secretly monitored the five major families, also breathed a sigh of relief. Especially Jinyiwei, they are really afraid that something will happen to the Lu Mansion.

However, when Xu Kun and Xu Ying confidently waited for the merchants of the vassal kingdom to come and beg them, the merchants of the vassal kingdom did not beg them, but went to Xu Shixing, begging that they must be sold to them at the low price last time, otherwise they would rather go back empty. Writing Xu Shixing, I don't understand why the merchants of the vassal kingdom are like this?

Even at the price of the five great families, don't the merchants of the feudal kingdom also make a lot of money?

Later, under Xu Shixing's continuous questioning, those vassal merchants finally explained the reason, it turned out that they were stopped by a pirate on the way to Daming, these vassal merchants were also armed, and they also had firearms, and even small artillery on the ship, Franc machine gun.

However, it did not occur to those pirate ships that were stronger and faster, and that they also had more advanced artillery and muskets that fired extremely fast and had a long range, and that they were no match at all, but were knocked unconscious and had to surrender.

Originally, they thought that they would be killed or captured as slaves, but what they didn't expect was that those pirates didn't rob them of anything, but just told them that after going to Daming to trade, they would hand over half of the goods to those pirates as protection money.

Of course, these merchants of the feudal kingdom agreed, and now they trade with the Ming Dynasty, and the price of the goods on the Ming side is quite low, and the goods they buy are still the original price, so even if they pay half of the goods as protection fees, they can still make money. It's just that I make very little money.

This already made them happy, they were not killed by pirates, they were not taken as slaves, and they were allowed to make money, so what?

They all thought about it, and when they arrived in Daming, they would jointly lower the price again, so that they could earn more and compensate for their losses.

However, they didn't expect that before they could lower the price, Daming raised the price and mentioned the original price. So that they will not talk about making money, they will lose their pants.

Of course, they wouldn't agree, so they went to find the Five Great Families, but they were closed, waiting for them to figure out the reason, and then they realized that the Five Great Families had withdrawn from the sea trade. And the gesture of not seeing them behind closed doors is to tell them that the five great families will not smuggle with them. They can only trade with the Xu family.

But......

How is this price possible?

Therefore, they found Xu Shixing today and had no choice but to explain the reason. In the end, there was a showdown with Xu Shixing, if the original price was not lowered, they would leave, and they would never come to Daming again. No one will do a loss-making trade.

This time, Xu Shixing was in a hurry.

If these merchants of the vassal kingdom never come to Daming again, wouldn't it be that his city division would not be able to collect a penny of taxes?

That Emperor Jiajing ate his heart!

The point is that Emperor Jiajing has nothing to eat him, isn't it just a death?

But he Xu Shixing knows that today's Ming finances all point to the city, if the city can't collect a penny of taxes, the Ming Dynasty's finances will be paralyzed, and the Ming Dynasty will be in turmoil again, and he will have the crime of destroying the country.

In a hurry, Xu Jie's two sons were found, and the merchants of the vassal country were also called, and Xu Shixing made the matter clear to Xu Jie's two sons. And in the end, he ordered Xu Jie's two sons to trade with the merchants of the vassal kingdom at the original price, and warned Xu Jie's two sons:

"If they don't do that, let Xu Shi not be able to complete the tax, he will show His Majesty the two of them the matter of disrupting the sea trade as it is, and your Xu family will wait to be raided."
