After a while, He Nian hurriedly returned and said, "My lord, I'm afraid they will go to the Five Great Families to continue smuggling. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"The five great families don't have to worry, their family has a big business, and now they have been scared by me and don't dare to take this risk. However, there are other small and medium-sized families, and maybe there will be adventurous people. ”

"My lord, this opening can't be opened!" He Nian said anxiously: "If this opening is opened, I am afraid that the five great families will follow suit." ”

"Yes!" Luo Xin smiled and said, "Let the officials of the City Department go to the streets to make a noise, and let those merchants know that if anyone dares to smuggle, the Lu family will be their fate." ”

"I'll go!" The New Year left in a hurry.

Luo Xin shouted outside, "Daqing." ”

"Master Hou!" Lu Daqing pushed the door and walked in.

"Go and ask General Qi."

"Yes, Master Hou!"

Qi Jiguang hadn't come yet, but Wang Daquan knocked on the door and walked in, followed by a person behind him, Luo Xin looked at it, and his face couldn't help but say with joy:

"Liang Yu!"

"Meet your lord!" Liang Yu fell to his knees on one knee.

Luo Xin got up and helped each other and said, "Sit!" ”

Liang Yu's face showed excitement, sat on the chair, and without waiting for Luo Xin to ask, he told Luo Xin everything as it was. When Luo Xin heard that Luo Sheng went to the grassland to find his eldest brother, Luo Ye went to the sea to wait for an opportunity to fish in troubled waters, and couldn't help but applaud.

Liang Yu took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Luo Xindao: "My lord, this is the material we need. ”

Luo Xin took the envelope, tore open the envelope and took out the letter, and then looked at it carefully. Then he frowned slightly, and Luo Xin easily met the needs of other materials in his heart. Liang Yu transported so many treasures, in exchange for the materials on the letter, but the pig iron needed was not easy to obtain.

"Daquan, you go and invite Lu Tingjiang."

"Yes, Master Hou!"

"Liang Yu, you leave all the goods to me to deal with, don't trade with those vassal countries privately."

"Yes, sir!"

In less than a quarter of an hour, Lu Tingjiang came to Luo Xin's study, Luo Xin introduced Liang Yu and Lu Tingfang, and then said to Lu Tingjiang:

"This is the list of materials that Luo Sheng needs, you don't have to worry about the rest, but these farm tools and pig iron need you to collect, and they need to be secret."

Lu Tingjiang frowned slightly, and Luo Xin asked, "Difficult?" ”

"It can be solved!" Lu Tingjiang said: "But it will take a little time." Farm tools are good to say, pig iron is not something that can be collected in a short time. ”

Luo Xin nodded and said, "In this way, you first collect all the farm tools and secretly transport them to the ship." The pig iron will wait for the next time Liang Yu comes, and then take it away. ”

"Okay, I'll handle it."

Lu Tingjiang left in a hurry, Luo Xin looked at Liang Yu and said, "You just live here, there is no problem on the ship, right?" ”

"No problem." Liang Yu immediately spoke.

Luo Xin sent someone to arrange for Liang Yu to stay, and after a while, Qi Jiguang came in a hurry. Luo Xin asked Qi Jiguang to sit down, poured him tea again, and then said after saying his worries:

"Brother Yuan Jing, you immediately block all the main roads with great fanfare, so that those merchants of the vassal kingdom and the Ming Dynasty know that they cannot smuggle."

"Yes, sir!" Qi Jiguang stood up and said, "Then what if you find smugglers?" ”

"Catch!" Luo Xin said decisively: "Dare to resist, kill!" ”

After the merchants of the sub-feudal kingdom left the city, after a short discussion, they went separately to find the five great families, wanting to continue smuggling. However, what they didn't expect was that the five masters simply rejected them and told them that future transactions would have to go through the city. When these merchants returned, they got together and discussed again, and finally decided that since the five great families would not trade with them, they would go to those small and medium-sized families, and they firmly believed that there would be someone willing to trade with them.

However, when they walked out into the street again, they found that there were many officials on the street, and many notices were posted, and when they figured out the contents of the notices, their faces became very ugly. However, they still don't give up, and still go to find those small and medium-sized families to talk to.

However, these small and medium-sized families are much better informed than them, and they have already learned that Qi Jiguang has blocked all channels, and it is impossible to smuggle them. Thinking of the Lu family before, where did anyone dare to smuggle, they rejected those merchants of the feudal kingdom one after another. When these merchants returned to their residences, they learned that Qi Jiguang had blocked all the roads. The merchants of the feudal kingdom couldn't help but look at each other, and then they gathered together again to discuss. In the end, it was decided to hand over the list and price of the goods they were selling, as well as the list of materials and prices that needed to be purchased, to the market, which meant that they were going to set the price, not to let the market set the price. Take the initiative.

Day 2.

In the lobby of the city's ship.

Luo Xin sat at the top, looking at the list and prices submitted by these merchants, and a hint of sarcasm appeared on the corner of his mouth. These people are really insatiable, what do they think of Luo Xin?

Is it a big deal?

Luo Xin patiently read all the lists, and knew the goods brought by the merchants of these feudal kingdoms and the goods they needed, and did not exceed the scope of his expectations, so he put down the last list, waved his hand at He Nian and Wang Ziren, He Nian and Wang Ziren each held a stack of books, walked towards those merchants, each handed out a copy, and then returned to their seats and sat down. The merchants curiously picked up the booklet and flipped through it, but at the first glance, their faces changed.

The booklet lists the names and prices of various materials, and the materials are very complete, so it can be said that they have all the needs, but the price is ......

In their opinion, it is simply outrageous, more than double the price of their previous smuggling. At that moment, these people were not calm, and they made a noise one by one.

"My lord, this price is absolutely not good."

"My lord, this price is outrageous, too high."

"My lord, we have come all the way to Daming, we can't let us lose money, right?"

"That is, if it is really this price, who will do business with Daming in the future?"

"My lord, we will never accept this price, please trade according to our price, otherwise we will refuse to trade."

“…………”

Luo Xin's face sank and said, "Send off guests!" ”

"Adult ......"

Luo Xin had already stood up and flicked the sleeves of his robe and left. He Nian and Wang Ziren stood up and said:

"Everyone, please!"

"Two adults, this is ......"

The faces of more than 20 businessmen couldn't help but show a blank look, in their opinion, doing business, isn't it just talking back and forth? Do you pay the price on the spot?

Why don't you talk about it without saying a word?

He Nian said lightly: "Daming is a country of gentlemen, and Lord Luo is even more of a gentleman. The price he gave has been considered for you, and you feel your conscience and ask, is it at this price that you make less money? You go back and think about it, come back if you want it, if you don't think about it, you can leave Daming. ”

"Lord He, if we all leave, there will be no one to do business with you Daming in the future."

"Sneer......" He Nian sneered and said: "Without you before, could it be that the Ming Dynasty starved to death?" Besides, you are only a part of the businessmen, if you don't do it, someone will naturally do it, so please do it. ”

The twenty or so merchants looked at each other, and finally left the city, and when they returned to the inn, they were all together. After some deliberation, a veteran businessman, Frankey, said:

"Based on my understanding of the Ming Dynasty, this Luo Xin must have come to Hangzhou to open a market with his majesty the emperor with him, and if we don't trade with him, he will definitely be anxious. In the end, they will bow their heads and come to us to counsel. So, we just have to wait. ”

"But...... We can't afford to wait! Another merchant of the vassal kingdom said: "Once the news of our presence here reaches Wang Zhi, not to mention our goods, even our people may be killed by Wang Zhi." ”

"Three days, we wait for three days, and Daming will definitely give in." The Frankie merchant held up three fingers.

"Okay, let's wait three days!"

"It's been a day!"

In the second hall of the city, He Nian glanced at the lobby from time to time, and said worriedly, Luo Xin put down the official document in his hand and said with a smile:

"Lord He, sit down and be still."

"My lord, will they not come?" He Nian's face is full of unsupport.

"No!"

"My lord, isn't your price a little high? The merchants of this vassal country came to me from thousands of miles to make money, and if we set the price too high, they won't be able to make money......"

"They earn it, and it's a lot of it." Luo Xin said helplessly: "Okay, my Lord He, don't worry about it." They will come. ”

As soon as Luo Xin's words fell, he heard footsteps outside the door, and He Nian looked out of the door in surprise, and then his face collapsed, but Song Danian, who walked in from outside the door, saw the change in his face clearly, and immediately said to him:

"Lao He, what do you mean by this? As soon as he saw me, his face collapsed like this, I carried your child into a bitter well? ”

Luo Xin laughed on the side, just watching the excitement, and didn't speak. originally thought that Song Danian would continue to train for the New Year, but he didn't expect Song Danian to sit on the chair with his butt and his face collapsed.

"Lord Song, who are you?" At this time, Luo Xin was also curious, could it be that this Song Danian ran in front of him and worried about himself?

"No, it's a big mess!" Song Danian sighed, his face was depressed.

Before Luo Xin could speak, he couldn't sit still while sitting on the side, and asked anxiously:

"What's wrong? Are all the vassal merchants gone? ”

Song Danian's expression was stunned, and then he remembered that Luo Xin was also a brain relationship at this time, and an embarrassed look appeared on his face:

"Nope! It's not ......"

"That's good!" He Nian let out a long sigh of relief.

Luo Xin rolled his eyes, didn't bother to pay attention to the New Year, looked at Song Danian and said, "What happened?" ”

Song Danian sighed again and said, "It's not all the people of the Xu Mansion who are taking advantage of the fire to rob!" ”

"Xu Jie?" Luo Xin looked stunned and asked tentatively.

"Who else could it be?" Song Danian said angrily.

But he found that after saying this, there was silence in the second hall, Luo Xin picked up the teacup and drank tea without saying a word, and he also picked up the official document for the New Year, looking like an office.

"Don't ...... you"

Luo Xin waved his hand and said: "My current duty is to be the city's division, and I don't want to make trouble." Speaking of this, Luo Xin also sighed and said:

"Brother Song, my situation must have been an official for many years, and you can see it very clearly, the affairs of the City Department are not only related to my career, but to my life. If I don't make achievements in the city, I say that Your Majesty will take this opportunity to kill me, do you believe it or not? ”

"Not really, right? It's a big deal to lose your position, how can you still worry about your life? Song Danian looked at Luo Xin dumbfounded.

Luo Xin shook his head helplessly and said, "Forget it, I guess if I don't let you tell the matter today, you won't leave." But, at the end of the day, there's no way I'm going to help. ”

"No, your relationship with Xu Jie, won't let you avoid Xu Jie, right?"

Luo Xin's gaze suddenly became sharp, making Song Danian's heart tremble, and his face showed embarrassment. Luo Xin retracted his sharp gaze and said lightly:

"Brother Song, do you want me to be the knife in your hand?"

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

Song Danian waved his hand again and again, feeling empty in his heart. He really came this time with the idea of using the relationship between Luo Xin and Xu Jie to let Luo Xin come out. Now seeing the look on Luo Xin's face, where do you dare to have this kind of thought again? Then he said with a bitter face:

"No, you really wronged me this time. I'm just here to ask you for an idea. ”

Seeing that Luo Xin just looked at him fixedly and didn't speak, Song Danian swallowed a mouthful of saliva;

"This thing has to start with the troubles. At the beginning, Xu Hai, Ye Ma and Xin Wulang went ashore to burn, kill and loot, and these gangs of Japanese robbers robbed the people's food and burned down the people's houses, so a large number of refugees appeared.

The houses of these refugees are okay, after all, now that the weather is starting to get warmer, they can't freeze to death, they can simply repair it first, but the crops in the field are now completely destroyed, which makes it impossible for the people to live at all. And at this time, Xu Jie sent people to start buying the people's fertile land at a very low price. Although the people are reluctant, in order to survive, some people have begun to sell to Xu Jietian.

That's it, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. As an official, I can't say anything. But he didn't expect that some of the fields and properties became ownerless because the owner's family was all killed by the Japanese and became ownerless fields, so they were favored by some ruffians and hooligans, and then defected to the Xu Mansion, saying that those ownerless fields were theirs, and they took the fields and properties to the Xu family as slaves. The Xu family also accepted it all.

Since these fields are ownerless fields, they should have belonged to the government. But whoever makes Xu Jiegui the elder of the pavilion, I will turn a blind eye.
