You, Zhang Juzheng, seized power as soon as you arrived in Hangzhou, but do you have a solution to the problem? Are you judging the situation correctly?

At this time, Zhang Juzheng remembered the three people sitting in the study, he was the least aware of the situation in the southeast, and everything he understood was hearsay, even if he saw it with his own eyes, it was something that floated on the surface, and it could be said that he didn't understand the problems in the southeast at all. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info and although Luo Xin has not been in the southeast for a long time, it is much longer than him Zhang Juzheng, not to mention Song Danian, who can already be regarded as the head snake of Hangzhou.

If he rashly took over the burden, and if he didn't handle it well and detonated the powder keg in the southeast, wouldn't he have to carry this black cauldron?

"Hehe......" Zhang Juzheng smiled before saying anything: "No, we are also old friends." I didn't say you're under house arrest. I came to Hangzhou just to take a look and report to His Majesty what I saw and heard. Of course, I will not stand idly by if the magistrate encounters a difficult situation, but I only play a supporting role. In the end, it is up to the magistrates to solve the problem. ”

Luo Xin said with a smile: "Hangzhou is naturally dominated by Lord Song. ”

When Song Danian heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, I'll listen to you." ”

Although Zhang Juzheng's face still kept smiling, his heart was turbulent. He didn't expect that Luo Xin had only been in Hangzhou for a few months, and he had already subdued the Hangzhou prefect.

How is this possible?

You must know that Song Danian is a prefect and a fourth-grade official. And Luo Xin is just the same knowledge, and he is the fifth product. But looking at these two people now, it seems to be the opposite. It seems that Luo Xin is the prefect of the fourth product, and Song Danian is the same knowledge of the fifth product.

At this time, Zhang Juzheng naturally knew what to do, and said to Luo Xin: "No, you can't sit idly by." ”

Luo Xin smiled faintly and said, "It's a trivial matter." ”

"This is no small matter!" Zhang Juzheng said urgently: "First of all, you have to stabilize prices. Second, if you kill the Lu family, if the rest of the five great families instigate trouble, it will be a big mess. Third, tens of thousands of refugees poured into Hangzhou, among which I don't know how many Japanese pirates were hidden, and if these Japanese pirates were not resolved, they could turn the city of Hangzhou into a sea of fire at any time.

No, this pile, one by one, which is not a fatal thing? When it comes to you, why has it become a trivial matter? ”

"Brother Taiyue, don't be impatient. Come, drink tea. Luo Xin picked up the teapot and poured tea for Zhang Juzheng and Song Danian respectively: "These are not problems, they will always be solved." ”

"Then you'll solve it! As long as you solve the problem, let alone drink tea with you, even if you drink, I will accompany you. Zhang Juzheng said angrily.

Luo Xin just smiled, and he talked about him left and right, and changed three pots of tea all the time, and the three of them went to the toilet several times, but Zhang Juzheng and Song Danian did not leave. Song Danian can't leave, and now his fate has been tied to Luo Xin. Hangzhou is really going to be in trouble, and he, as the prefect, bears the brunt. Luo Xin has never said a way, how can he be willing to leave?

Zhang Juzheng has been thinking and meditating for a long time, and he has not come up with a solution to the problem, so he is even more reluctant to go, he is also an extremely proud person, just now Luo Xin ridiculed him for his lack of wisdom to solve the problem, he wants to see how Luo Xin will solve these three thorny problems.

Footsteps sounded outside the door, and I saw Qi Jiguang, Luo Qing, He Nian and Wang Ziren walking in. Everyone greeted each other, and after taking a seat, Lu Daqing finished serving tea, and Luo Xin looked at the New Year:

"How?"

He Nian's face shone with excitement, and he opened it with a booklet in his hand and said:

"My lord, the Lu family has hoarded 300,000 stones. This old Wang Ba, who has hoarded so much grain, just doesn't sell it, watching the price of grain in Hangzhou skyrocket, it's really damn good. ”

"Don't be angry, he's dead!" Luo Xin said with a smile.

Everyone also laughed, only Zhang Juzheng still had a straight face. Because he really didn't know the bottom of the next question. Luo Xin glanced at Zhang Juzheng and Song Danian and said:

"300,000 stone of grain is enough for the entire Hangzhou people to eat for more than two months. There is no problem in stabilizing prices in this way. ”

"You want to use these 300,000 stone grain to hedge the price of grain?" Zhang Juzheng asked in a condensed voice.

"Not bad!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "Can't you?" ”

"Absolutely. It's just ......" Zhang Juzheng said seriously: "I guess you have already seen it." This soaring food price is driven by these six great families. You only have 300,000 stone of grain, and you are ready to sell it at a low price, right? ”

"Yes!" Luo Xin nodded.

Zhang Juzheng's expression became more solemn and said: "If you sell as much as you want, the remaining five families will eat as much as they want, and then they will continue to raise prices, and by that time, you will have no food in your hands, what about you?" ”

Luo Xin couldn't help but praise Zhang Juzheng in his heart, sure enough, he was the one who created a whip law, and he was clear about economic matters. However, the look on Luo Xin's face was still calm:

"They won't do that."

"How so?"

"First." Luo Xin stretched out a finger and said, "They don't have that much money." ”

"Will the six great families have no money?" Zhang Juzheng's face showed contempt.

Luo Xin said with a smile: "Because they were caught smuggling by me before, they lost a lot of money." Well, the three million taels of silver given to His Majesty were obtained by arresting and smuggling. So they won't have much liquidity, and they won't be able to eat 300,000 stone of grain at all. Don't believe you ask him. ”

Seeing Luo Xin pointing to the New Year, Zhang Juzheng and Song Danian's eyes both looked at him. He Nian's face showed admiration and said:

"Your Excellency is like a god. The cash and cash we found from Lu's house combined were equivalent to 500,000 taels of silver. ”

Luo Xin nodded, 500,000 taels of silver is a huge amount of money for ordinary people, but for the six great families, it is poverty, or something is wrong in the business. Otherwise, it wouldn't be just 500,000 taels.

Luo Xin looked at Zhang Juzheng again, and the meaning of that gaze was: "Understand? ”

Zhang Juzheng's heart jumped, and he said secretly: "Luo Xin won't have the intention of killing the six great families when he catches smuggling, right?" ”

Seeing that Zhang Juzheng was no longer speechless, Luo Xin said to Wang Ziren again: "You send someone out to publicize it, just say that everyone can rest assured, Luo Xin copied 300,000 stone of grain from the Lu family, and if it is not enough for the people of Hangzhou to eat, Luo Xin will copy another family." ”

Zhang Juzheng and Song Danian both looked at Luo Xin with tears and laughter, these words really spread out, even if the remaining five great families have liquidity and have the intention of eating these 300,000 stone grains, hearing these words, do they still dare?

If this had been placed in the past, the six great families would never have believed that a small acquaintance would dare to wipe out their six great families. However, now that they have raided one family and killed eighty-five people, how can the remaining five families not be afraid? Although Luo Xin's words must have spread in the form of a rumor, out of this house, whoever is asking Luo Xin, Luo Xin will not admit it. But do the remaining five great families dare not believe it?

"Brother Taiyue, do you think there will be a problem with the price of food?"

Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said, "There should be no problem." ”

Luo Xin looked at He Nian and said: "I will leave the matter of stabilizing food prices to you, don't make mistakes." ”

"Yes, sir!" A surprise for the New Year.

It stands to reason that this matter should be handed over to Song Danian, the prefect of Hangzhou, to do it, but the officials in the southeast are greedy, that is, the people of the city department are still incorruptible, because they have not had the opportunity to be greedy, so they have not tasted the benefits of greed. Luo Xin vigorously rectified and ******** in the city, so he didn't trust Song Danian's people, those people were greedy, but no matter how dangerous the situation was, greed had blinded them.

Song Danian didn't have the slightest objection, and still sat there with a smile. He also knows very well in his heart that the current situation can be described as walking on thin ice, and the slightest difference will be shattered. For his subordinates, no one knows them better than him, and if the 300,000 stone grain is handed over to them, they dare to embezzle 200,000 stone at all levels.

"Big brother! Brother Yuan Jing. Luo Xin looked at Luo Qing and Qi Jiguang and said, "The two of you are leading six thousand soldiers to hold the streets in Hangzhou. Just wait for the refugees in the city to leave Hangzhou City, and you will immediately start searching me door by door. If there are people who refuse to leave the city with the refugees, it must be the Japanese robbers, and they don't have to stay and kill when they see them. I have only one request, after tomorrow, there will be no more Japanese robbers in Hangzhou. ”

"Little brother, as long as you can expel those refugees, we will definitely be able to find out the widows."

"Can't be expelled!" Zhang Juzheng hurriedly said: "No, if you start to expel it, as soon as those Japanese robbers instigate, it will be a big chaos." ”

"You don't need me to expel you!" Luo Xin waved his hand and smiled: "Real refugees will take the initiative to leave." ”

"Will the plan be released?" Zhang Juzheng asked incredulously. Song Danian, Qi Jiguang, Luo Qing and others also pricked up their ears.

"Dry up and fish!" Luo Xin said lightly.

Zhang Juzheng's eyes lit up first, and then Song Danian's eyes lit up. There was a look of puzzlement in the eyes of the others. Luo Xin looked at Song Danian and said:

"Lord Song, I'll leave this matter to you. You set up hundreds of cauldrons outside the city, drain them from the city gate along the official road, and then let all the three classes of officials go out to boil porridge, and the farther away from the city gate, the thicker the porridge will become, so that the refugees will flock to the place where the porridge is thick, and the distance from the city gate will be farther and farther away. When these refugees have left the city of Hangzhou, then the remaining people who refuse to leave are the Japanese invaders. ”

Luo Xin looked at Zhang Juzheng and said, "Brother Taiyue, the problem you were worried about has been solved. ”

Zhang Juzheng's face showed a look of admiration and said, "I might as well do it." ”

Luo Xin is not humble, although he knows Zhang Juzheng, but now Zhang Juzheng is still young, and he has to be restrained by Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng came to Hangzhou, and he must take the task ordered by Xu Jie. Although Luo Xin also admires Zhang Juzheng, the two of them are now divided into two camps, and Luo Xin only asks Zhang Juzheng not to add to the chaos. Therefore, Luo Xin must show a kind of strength, a kind of strength that Zhang Juzheng is afraid of. made Zhang Juzheng realize that if he dared to make some small moves in the southeast, Luo Xin would dare to kill him.

"Big brother, General Qi. After the Japanese were killed, the city of Hangzhou began to be strictly banned, and you led 3,000 soldiers to patrol day and night. Those who dare to resist, kill! You must make a momentum, especially go around the five great families to go around more, let them be afraid, and let those mechanics be afraid, even if someone instigates them, they don't dare to make trouble. ”

Speaking of this, Luo Xin's eyes narrowed slightly, and with murderous intent flashing in his eyes, he said, "Eighty-five people have been killed today." After the water dries up tomorrow, it is estimated that the number of Japanese robbers killed will not be small, and having such two killings will make many people much less courageous. Brother Taiyue, what do you think? ”

Zhang Juzheng nodded and sighed: "If you don't act vigorously, Hangzhou will soon calm down." But...... Aren't you afraid that the five great families will impeach you? ”

"Oh...... That's a problem. Luo Xin looked at He Nian and said, "What else did the Lu family copy?" ”

"There are also some jade antiques and the like, estimated that they are worth eight million taels, and if the Lu family's land and real estate are sold again, they should be worth five million taels."

"Good!" Luo Xin smiled and said, "After Hangzhou is calm, I will first send the jade antiques worth eight million taels of silver to Your Majesty." With these antiques and jade, those pieces of impeachment against me, Your Majesty will put them for a while longer. Wait for the Lu family's real estate and land to be sold, and then send the silver to His Majesty. That's right, Lord Song. After a while, I will write a recital, how about you and I jointly present these antiques and jade, as well as the sold fields and real estate to Your Majesty? ”

Song Danian's face bloomed with joy, who wouldn't want to do this kind of face-revealing thing! Immediately nodded repeatedly. Luo Xin immediately took up the pen and wrote a piece of music, and then handed it to Song Danian. After reading it, Song Danian picked up the pen and signed his name. Luo Xin handed the chapter to Song Danian and said:

"Lord Song, this matter will trouble you."

"Lord Luo, don't worry, I will definitely make this piece appear in front of His Majesty as quickly as possible."

Half an hour later, the crowd departed. Everyone is busy with their own things. Zhang Juzheng felt that Luo Xin was not welcome to him, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, and he was helpless in his heart. said goodbye to Luo Xin, and followed Song Danian to the prefect's yamen.

After everyone left, Luo Xin only took Lu Daqing and Wan Daquan and walked out of the back door in clothes. After turning around the street three times or two, I came to a door.

Standing in front of the door, Luo Xin waved his hand, and Lu Daqing stepped forward and knocked on the door. There was no sound inside the door. Lu Daqing knocked a few more times, but there was still silence in the door.

"Master Hou, there's no one inside!" Lu Daqing turned around.

Luo Xin looked this small courtyard up and down, it was really inconspicuous, no one would have thought that this would be a secret residence of Jinyiwei. If Luo Xin's dart bureau hadn't found out and told him, he really wouldn't have thought of it. Seeing that there was no sound inside, Luo Xin said lightly:

"Listen to the Jinyi Wei brothers inside, open the door, otherwise Ben Hou will break the door."

There was still no sound inside, and Luo Xin said lightly: "Break the door." ”
