Xu Luqing's heart sank, Luo Xin also frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, His Majesty sent me this time to solve the matter of the Southeast City Division. The five are all old people from the southeast, so why go far to the north to do business? It's better to stay in the south and do maritime trade. ”

"This ......" Lu Ding and the other five people glanced at Xu Luqing and said, "Isn't the sea trade all contracted by the Xu Mansion?" ”

Xu Luqing's face turned dark, but he still had to explain: "Your Majesty has decreed that after this sea trade, the Xu family will not be allowed to set foot in sea trade for generations. Therefore, the future sea trade will still be the five major families. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Luqing's heart was full of extremes, and his tone couldn't help but be a little sour. In the future, this huge opportunity will be the one of the five great families, and it will have nothing to do with the Xu family anymore.

But......

Xu Luqing didn't expect that after Lu Ding and the other five people glanced at each other, they shook their heads and said:

"My lord, we have no intention of running a sea trade, and we spent a lot of money to open up the northern trade route. And we have estimated that the negotiation in the north is no less profitable than the sea trade. ...... in the southeast"

Lu Ding glanced at Xu Luqing and said, "Forget it, whoever is willing to do it, who will do it." Anyway, the five of us don't do it. ”

Xu Luqing's face changed suddenly, and he secretly said in his heart: "What do you mean?" Could it be that Lu Ding and the others really went to the north to expand trade routes? Is it true that he just returned from the North? Do you really not want to run Southeast anymore?

That...... What should we do in Xufu?

If the five of them were determined to run the north, it would be impossible for them to sell the goods in their hands to the Xu family. So what do we do? ”

Xu Luqing couldn't help but look at Luo Xin for help, and at this time, his heart was not sour, and he only hoped that the five great families would be able to take over the sea trade.

Luo Xin's face showed embarrassment, and there was hesitation in his eyes. At this moment, Xu Luqing was anxious, and couldn't help but say to Luo Xin:

"Adult ......"

Luo Xin was still pondering here, his face full of embarrassment. Xu Luqing's heart became even more anxious.

"My lord, please help the Xu family this time, the Xu family is willing to buy the goods of the five families at a price higher than the market price."

Luo Xin's face was entangled for a few breaths, and finally he bowed to the five masters:

"You are all famous families in the southeast, and you are highly respected, so you can't watch the accident happen to the city, so please stretch out your hands...... By the way, Your Majesty has also given each of your five families a holy decree, waiting for the official to announce the decree from house to house tomorrow. ”

"This ......" the faces of the five masters all showed hesitation.

"Your Majesty's will is to come down, if ...... But the city can't collect taxes, which doesn't give His Majesty face. Luo Xin said softly.

"Good!" Lu Ding finally gritted his teeth and said: "Lu Qingxian's nephew, but after saying it, it will be one percent higher than the market price." ”

"Okay!" Xu Luqing immediately nodded.

"The little nephew will send someone to contact the butler of the five uncles tomorrow." Xu Luqing said with a sigh of relief.

"Okay!" At this time, Lu Ding and the other five people also nodded happily.

After solving this matter, the eight people relaxed, drank a few more glasses of wine, Xu Luqing remembered that his family had lost a lot this time, almost half of the family property, and couldn't help but feel anxious. Gradually, I lost the interest in drinking, and just kept my head there with my stuffy head.

After drinking for about half an hour, Luo Xin put down his wine glass and said, "The five of you have just come back from the north, and the carriage and horses are tired, so let's go back and rest early." ”

turned to Xu Luqing again and said, "Brother Lu Qing is also going to be busy tomorrow, let's disperse." ”

The five masters and Xu Luqing all stood up and said goodbye to Luo Xin, who sent them outside the door. Watching the sedan chair of seven people disappear into the street, a bright smile appeared on his face.

"Master Hou, it's not easy to toss the Xu family now, right?" Lu Daqing said with a smile.

Luo Xin sighed softly and said, "If it doesn't need to be like this, I don't want to." It's just that Xu Jie, I can't reconcile, so you're welcome. It's just that this time it can be said that he and Xu Jie have a personal vendetta. In the officialdom in the future, the two of us will have a situation where there is him without me, and there is me without him. ”

"Will Hou Ye still be afraid of him?" Lu Daqing pouted.

"Hehe......"

Luo Xin turned around and walked towards the back office, and Xu Shixing, who was on the side, heard the conversation between the master and servant, and was a little crying and laughing. However, he also knew that Lu Daqing had followed Luo Xin since he was a child, and the relationship between the two could not be measured by the relationship between master and servant, so he followed Luo Xin and walked inside:

"Tomorrow, my lord?"

"Tomorrow I will go to the five major families to proclaim the decree. You go and inform the vassal merchants and get them ready to trade. That is, the day after tomorrow, and the city division must also be prepared. With so many merchants from the feudal kingdom accumulating this time, once the transaction starts, it will be very busy, so the preparations must be done well. ”

"Yes, sir."

Next.

The whole of Hangzhou was busy, and almost all the members of the Xu family were dispatched, led by several housekeepers inside and outside, to the five major families respectively, and the five major families also sent their housekeepers to start trading with the Xu family.

Truckloads of goods were pulled out from the five great families, and boxes of gold and silver were sent into the mansions of the five great families.

This is the busyness of the people of the five great families, and the upper echelons of the five great families are busy preparing to receive the order, and the streets are splashed with clean water in front of the house, and the color sheds are set up, and the incense cases are placed.

Luo Xin also got up early, not early. It is necessary to go five in a row to proclaim the decree. Luo Xin walked towards the morning.

This morning, the whole city of Hangzhou is like the New Year, when has Hangzhou City seen the matter of issuing five holy decrees in one morning?

Today they have opened their eyes, and wherever Luo Xin goes, those people will follow. And the five great families also set up a flowing water table today, and anyone can come to eat.

Luo Xin didn't eat at any house, ran to five places in a row, and returned directly to the city without regard to retaining. Tossing around all morning, and having to read five holy decrees, made Luo Xin a little tired.

Luo Xin returned to the city, and saw the chaos in the hall, dozens of vassal merchants were discussing with Xu Shixing in the hall, and when they saw Luo Xin coming in, those vassal merchants were quiet, and they all looked at Luo Xin. Luo Xin waved his hand and went to the back office without stopping.

I returned to the back office, ate a little food, and went back to sleep in the house.

At dusk, Luo Xin woke up and came out of the room in good spirits. Lu Daqing said:

"Master Hou, Lord Xu has prepared food and drinks, waiting for Master Hou."

"What about you?" Luo Xin asked as he walked towards the flower hall.

"We've all eaten it all!"

"Hmm!" Luo Xin nodded and walked towards the flower hall.
