For example, an ordinary porcelain plate sells for eight cents, and they earn four cents after taking the cost. www.biquge.info But if you do business directly with the feudal kingdom and sell a porcelain plate to 16 cents, the cost is still 4 cents, and the city ship division draws 30% of the tax is 4 cents and 8 cents, and together it is 8 cents and 8 cents, and they also earn 7 cents and 2 cents, which is three cents more than the previous four cents. This is still doubled, what if it tripled?
The more Lu Ding thought about it, the more excited he became, if he monopolized this business, then the Lu family would be famous. And at this time, Luo Xin's voice was heard:
"Boss, do you think you can make money by cooperating with the City Ship Division and doing business in an upright manner?"
"Yes!" Lu Ding nodded vigorously and said, "As long as the pirates are cleared, it will definitely make a lot of money." ”
"At that time, it will be a situation where all the kingdoms will come to the court, and more and more vassal kingdoms will come to us, my lord, do you think that the business of the city will become bigger and bigger?"
"Yes, of course." Lu Ding is getting more and more excited.
"Then you think your family can do such a big business?"
"This ......"
"Can your Lu family really eat? Even if you can eat it now, you can eat it in the future? ”
Lu Ding's heart was a pang, he thought of Lu Bing, if he waited until Lu Bing died......
The Lu family is carrying such a big piece of fat in their arms, but they have lost their backers, it is a disaster for the family! A layer of cold sweat broke out on his body, and the clothes on his back were soaked.
"And ......" Luo Xin said in a condensed voice: "If you monopolize the entire business, it means that you don't give others a way to live, and others have to think of other ways." What are the other paths?
Smuggle!
They will risk their lives to smuggle.
In this way, in addition to your honest accident with the City Shipping Division, the rest of the people in the entire Southeast are smuggling, do you think this continues, how much business will the City Shipping Division have? How much business will you have? The whole southeast doesn't have to do anything else, and is busy catching smugglers every day.
Once smuggling is rampant, the pirates will surely resurge. This southeast will be a mess again. When a place is a mess, then the place is only suitable for smuggling, not for serious business. ”
Lu Ding's face showed admiration, and he arched his hand towards Luo Xin and said, "Lord Luo, it's the old man who thinks badly, what do you say, what do I do." ”
Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "Everyone come together." ”
Speaking of this, Luo Xin's face showed a smile and said: "Boss, I think you also know that you entered the gate of the City Bosi with your front foot today, and someone on your back foot went to inform the four great families. ”
"Yes." Lu Ding nodded lightly.
Luo Xin turned his head to look in the direction of the Lu Mansion and said, "They should be waiting for you in your Mansion at this time." ”
Lu Ding's face showed embarrassment, and he thought in his heart, this matter seems to be simple and bad, but how to explain it to the four families when he returns to the mansion?
If he thought before he came, he naturally didn't need to explain to the four families, not only did he not need to explain, but he would also try his best to suppress the four families. However, now after hearing Luo Xin's analysis, he knows that he is different, and he can't do that. In this way, it is bound to have an explanation with the four masters, and I can't let the four masters hate themselves, so I can't help frowning and thinking hard there.
"Boss, if you go back in a while, you will say that you got the news from the capital in advance, Your Majesty is very dissatisfied with the southeast, and I believe that you will not be impeached."
Lu Ding's expression became more and more embarrassed, and Luo Xin continued: "So, you will come to explore my outlet first. Then you will tell you what I just said, about the prospects of the city, and then suggest that they make money with the Lu Mansion, and I think they may still be looking forward to the news of the capital, and may not be willing to agree to you. When the news from the capital comes back in two days, they will regret it, and they will visit you again and ask you to ask me for peace, and then they will owe you a favor. In this way, although you will not monopolize the entire business of the city in the future, you will also play a leading role in the southeast business community, such as establishing a chamber of commerce, and you will be the president of the chamber of commerce, so that you can earn more than the four of them. ”
Lu Ding was overjoyed when he heard this, this is Luo Xin cooperating with him to act. When the time comes, do you dare not thank yourself? This is also the foundation of my own network. Immediately stood up, bowed to Luo Xinshen and said:
"Thank you, Lord Luo."
Lu Ding left, Luo Xin stood at the gate of the city and looked at the back of Lu Ding's departure, turned his gaze to Suzhou, and sighed lightly in his heart.
Now Xu Hai, Ye Ma, Xin Wulang and others are still plundering around on the shore, and Hu Zongxian is still holding his troops. The result was a situation in which more and more small groups of pirates came ashore one after another, and although the number of each group was small, they were quite a few together.
The southeast is really getting more and more chaotic!
Luo Xin sighed, if Hu Zongxian does not send troops, the southeast will become more and more chaotic, and this result will cause prices to rise really up, and it will be a big trouble at that time.
The reason why he let go of the five families so gently was to reach a cooperative relationship with the five families before the southeast was completely chaotic. In this way, everyone is a grasshopper tied to a thread, and with the grain of the five major families, he is naturally not afraid of rising prices in Hangzhou.
"I hope that the four families can understand the current affairs, and I also hope that Emperor Jiajing can be more decisive in terms of money, and the news of the capital can reach Hangzhou soon."
Luo Xin turned around and entered the city, and He Nian and Wang Ziren came over and said, "Congratulations, Lord Xi, the Southeast family has finally entered the hands of your lord." ”
Luo Xin shook his head, looked around, and then said in a low voice: "I don't know how Your Majesty decides." ”
When He Nian and Wang Ziren heard this, a look of worry appeared on their faces. Luo Xin smiled: "Don't worry too much, with my understanding of Your Majesty, you should support us." ”
Besides, Lu Ding returned to his house, and as soon as he got out of the car, he saw his housekeeper hurriedly running to him, and said in a low voice:
"Master, the four heads of the family are waiting for you in the lobby now."
Lu Ding nodded lightly, his face did not change in the slightest, and he raised his feet and walked towards the door. Let the housekeeper of the Lu Mansion deeply admire in his heart.
"The lord is the master, Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his color remained unchanged, he was talking about this kind of lord, right?"
He didn't know that at this time, the lord of his family, Lu Ding, was admiring Luo Xin in his heart, he had already expected everything, and the methods were all thought of for him, otherwise he would have been really caught off guard. I couldn't help but sigh to Luo Xin in my heart:
"An adult is an adult, strategizing, and winning a thousand miles is Lord Luo."
Lu Ding came to the lobby not very peacefully, and as soon as he walked in the door, he bowed to the four masters with a spring breeze on his face:
"Four brothers, I've been waiting for a long time."
"Boss."
The four heads of the family quickly got up from their chairs and returned the salute to Lu Ding. The five of them sat down again, and the maid changed into new tea. The head of the Cui family arched his hand towards Lu Ding and said:
"What are you, sir?"
Lu Ding said with a haha: "The four elder brothers don't have to test the old man, the old man doesn't believe that you don't know where I went?" And I went openly, so I didn't want to hide it from you. ”
The faces of the four masters showed embarrassment, but their hearts were relieved. Since Lu Ding can say this, it means that Lu Ding did not turn his back on them, but why did Lu Ding go to the city?
Now that they are fighting with Luo Xin, it can be said that they are endless, what is Lu Ding going to do in the city?
Suddenly, the hearts of the four of them moved, could it be that Lu Ding first received the news from the capital, knew that Luo Xin was going to be unlucky, and went to the city to ridicule Luo Xin?
Thinking of this, the four of them were happy in their hearts, and the head of the Wang family asked with a smile:
"Boss, have you received news from the capital?"
Lu Ding glanced at him unexpectedly, and said secretly in his heart: "This old boy is thinking quickly. ”
"Hmm!" Lu Ding nodded.
Hearing Lu Ding nod his head and admit it, the four of them were suddenly overjoyed. The head of the Cui family said excitedly:
"Is it true that our impeachment has been successful, and Your Majesty is going to punish Luo Xin? Did you go to the city to see the excitement of Luo Xin? ”
Several other family heads also laughed and said, "Boss, it's not right for you to do this. How can you go to see Luo Xin's jokes alone? Patronizing you and having a good time, but forgetting us? You should take us with you, let's all see how lively it is? ”
"Hahaha......" The four masters laughed heartily together.
Lu Ding looked at the four of them speechlessly, and suddenly thought in his heart, if his family did not have Lu Bing in the capital, and Lu Bing did not see things so clearly, then he had foresight, I am afraid that he would be the same as them now, right? Then just wait for Luo Xin's thunderbolt method, wait for the family to be ruined, right?
The laughter of the four masters gradually stopped, because when they saw Lu Dingzheng looking at them with a strange expression, a trace of something bad rose in their hearts, and they asked with some apprehension:
"What are you, sir?"
"Alas......" Lu Ding sighed and said, "Have you received a reply from the capital?" ”
"Nope!" The four masters shook their heads and said: "Where will it be so fast, it will be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow at the earliest, if it is late, it will take three or five days." ”
Lu Ding sighed again and said: "None of you have received a reply, we wrote a letter to the capital together, how could I receive a reply in advance?" ”
"Boss, ......" The four people were a little panicked: "Didn't you just say that you received a letter from the capital?" ”
"I received a letter from the capital, but it was not a reply to the letter I wrote. When my brother wrote that letter, my letter should not have reached the capital yet. ”
"The Metropolitan Governor...... Wrote to you in advance? A trace of uneasiness rose in the hearts of the four masters.
"Hmm!" Lu Ding nodded, and then the expression on his face became gloomy, frustrated, and even a little frightened.
Seeing the look on Lu Ding's face, the hearts of the four masters were completely flustered. The head of the Cui family swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked bitterly:
"Boss, what did the Metropolitan Governor say?"
Lu Ding has completely entered the play at this time, in fact, he is really easy to enter the play, and he shuddered when he thought of what Lu Bing said in his heart. He said in a dry voice:
"Before we wrote a letter to the capital, Shen Ling had already rushed to the capital day and night and told my brother what happened here."
"What did the Metropolitan Governor say?" The four masters all looked at Lu Ding with blank eyes.
"My brother said we were killing ourselves."
"Huh?"
The four of them opened their mouths and looked at Lu Ding in shock. Lu Ding lowered his voice and said:
"My brother said, fortunately, Luo Xin is very powerful, and he decisively killed the Lu family, and killed the Japanese in the way of drying up and fishing, otherwise there may be no six great families in the southeast."
"How so?" The four masters were dumbfounded.
"It's as simple as we think!" Lu Ding sighed and said: "Brother said that if Luo Xin hadn't decisively copied and killed the Lu family at the beginning, he had obtained the 300,000 stone grain to stabilize the price of grain, and had not killed thousands of Japanese criminals by drying up and fishing, so that the Japanese would have entered Hangzhou. There are no eggs under the nest, do you think the crazy widows will really let us go? I'm afraid that by the time they leave Hangzhou, our six great families will have been in ruins. ”
Everyone was in their hearts, but they were still a little unconvinced, they thought that they had a relationship with the Japanese Invaders, and the Wolves would use them in the future and would not kill them. Seeing their expressions, Lu Ding shook his head and sighed:
"A robber is always a robber, never trust a robber."
Everyone hesitated in their hearts this time, they also knew that robbers were robbers after all, and at this time, they heard Lu Ding say:
"Even if the pirates finally let us go, we will not escape the fate of ruined families."
"Why?" Fourth, the master of the family is unknown.
Lu Ding sighed, he felt that he sighed the most here today, not for the four great families, but for the decision he had made before.
"Once the city of Hangzhou is broken, such a major event will definitely shake the government and the opposition, and Your Majesty will be furious. By that time, will we be able to withstand His Majesty's wrath? ”
This time, the faces of the four family heads changed, and after half a loud sound, the head of the Cui family said in a condensed voice: "Boss, we have already gone to the capital, and I am afraid that Luo Xin has already been impeached at this time, I don't know what the result will be?" Maybe His Majesty will punish Luo Xin, after all, no one can prove that the thousands of people Luo Xin killed were Japanese robbers. ”
"No!" Lu Ding shook his head and said, "Our Lu family will not impeach Luo Xin. ”
"Sir, you didn't write a letter?"
Lu Ding smiled bitterly: "How could I not have written?" It's just that when the letter arrived with my brother, my brother withheld it, and he wouldn't impeach Luo Xin. And in the eyes of my brother, the impeachment of Luo Xin will definitely come to an end. ”
The faces of the four masters changed again, the room fell silent, the atmosphere became oppressive, and the air seemed to have gravity, making them feel suffocated. However, they still have luck in their hearts, and they always feel that they may not be able to impeach Luo Xin. Their expressions were also in Lu Ding's eyes, and they couldn't help but shake their heads in their hearts and said secretly:
"A bunch of idiots."
But then I thought I wasn't as stupid as they were before? A look of frustration appeared on his face.
