Walking into the flower hall, I saw Xu Shixing sitting at the table, and when I saw Luo Xin coming in, I quickly stood up and saluted Luo Xin, and then ordered my subordinates to start serving. Luo Xin waved his hand, the two of them sat down, one after another delicacies were served, and after the two of them touched a glass, Xu Shixing put down the wine glass and said:

"Your Excellency, everything is ready."

"How?"

"It's still based on what the Xu Mansion and the merchants of the vassal country talked about before, and sell it to the merchants of the vassal country at a low price, but the tax of the city department cannot be less than a copper plate."

"That's good!" Luo Xin nodded, a smile on his face.

"Adult ......"

"What about later? What about after this deal? What about next time? The Xu Mansion has been ordered by His Majesty not to be contaminated with maritime trade in the future. But with pirates here, what about the next deal?

It is impossible for the five families to trade with the merchants of the vassal kingdom at the same price as the Xu Mansion. They must return to the original price. However, because of piracy, it was impossible for the merchants of the feudal kingdom to agree. ”

"I'll go talk to Hu Butang tomorrow."

Xu Shixing's lips moved, but he didn't say anything in the end. Luo Xin smiled and said:

"What do you want to say?"

"Hu Butang he ......"

"You want to say that Hu Butang will not send troops?"

"Yes!" Xu Shixing nodded and said: "Taiyue and I, including Xu Luqing, have gone to him many times, but he has not sent troops at all. ”

"There will be troops." Luo Xin said lightly: "I have a holy decree. ”

Xu Shixing was overjoyed when he heard this, but then his face was bitter and said: "My lord, even if Hu Butang sends troops......

"Hehe......" Luo Xin laughed and said, "You want to say that even if the Daming Naval Division sends troops, it can't defeat pirates at sea, right?" ”

"Yes!" Xu Shixing said with difficulty: "The last time the Daming Water Division sent troops, they were all elites, but they were defeated. ”

"This time I will go to sea with the sailor."

"No way!" Xu Shixing's face changed drastically.

"Why not?" Luo Xin asked with a smile.

"It's too dangerous!" Xu Shixing hurriedly said: "My lord, if you have an accident at sea......

"It's going to happen!" Luo Xin waved his hand and said: "I'll go to sea to see, if I can fight, then fight, if I can't fight, then talk to the pirates." ”

"My lord, do you want to recruit An?"

"Let's see."

"My lord, this is too dangerous."

"It's fine!" Luo Xin shook his head and said, "I don't know how many times I've done anything more dangerous than this." Not as dangerous as you think. ”

"Adult ......"

"Needless to say!"

Day 2.

The city department was busy, and the dock began to load the ship. And Liu Shouyou is also back, and his task has been completed. The Xu family compensated the merchants who had been scheming and robbed, and also organized the supply of goods, and the rest of the matter was not the matter of Jinyiwei, but the matter of the city.

In the rear office of the city, Luo Xin looked at it with a concerto, which was a recital from Liu Shouyou to Emperor Jiajing. After Luo Xin finished reading it, he handed the piece to Liu Shouyoudao:

"So be it!"

"Good!" Liu Shou nodded and said, "What about after that?" ”

"You can send someone to send the piece away, and by the way, bring my piece with you."

Luo Xin took out a piece of music and handed it to Liu Shouyou, Liu Shouyou put it away, hurriedly went out, and arranged for a few Jinyi guards to set off immediately and go to the capital. Then he turned back and said:

"Your Excellency!"

"Let's go, let's go to Suzhou."

"To Suzhou?"

"Well, go talk to Hu Butang and ask him to send troops."

Liu Shou nodded a little, he knew that Luo Xin had a holy decree in his hand, and others asked Hu Zongxian not to move, Luo Xin had no problem. It's just that even if Hu Zongxian is invited, can the Ming Sailor beat the pirates?

Although he hadn't seen this new group of pirates, after all, he had been in Jinyiwei for many years, and he still knew a lot about the situation of the Daming Water Division. Although the Daming Sailor has become much stronger under Hu Zongxian's rectification, he has little confidence. If the Great Ming Sailor was strong, he would not have been defeated by the new pirate before.

Now he and Luo Xin are grasshoppers on the same thread, so he is very worried. After thinking for a while, he said:

"My lord, even if Hu Zongxian sends troops, he may not be able to beat the pirates. If you can't defeat the pirates, the sea trade of this city in the future? ”

"I'm going to go out to sea with the sailor." Luo Xin said softly.

"What?" Liu Shouyou was shocked in his heart: "How can this be? ”

"What's not to do?" Luo Xin had already walked out of the city at this time, and Liu Shouyou hurriedly followed, followed by Jin Yiwei and Luo Xin's family.

"This ......" Liu Shouyou said urgently: "If you are in danger......

"You have to go and see, and if you can fight, you will destroy the pirates. If you can't fight, then talk. Whether I want to fight or talk, I have to meet and know what to do. ”

Looking at the tangled look on Liu Shouyou's face, Luo Xin smiled and said, "Don't worry, although I am not very old, I have experienced no less dangers than you." At the beginning, I only had 2,000 men, and I was able to break into the camp of Alatan Khan's army of 200,000, and some pirates were nothing. ”

Liu Shouyou sighed, he knew that once Luo Xin made up his mind, he would not be able to dissuade him at all. And in his heart, Ye really admired Luo Xin. I'm afraid that in the entire Ming Dynasty, Luo Xin has this courage.

"I'll go with you."

"Of course you have to go." Luo Xin smiled: "You have to stay by my side all the time, so that you can report everything to Your Majesty when the time comes." ”

Liu Shouyou laughed dryly twice and said, "How to play, it's not up to you Lord Luo to say." ”

Luo Xin shook his head and said, "You can play it truthfully." ”

Luo Xin got into the carriage, Liu Shouyou, Wan Daquan and others rode horses, and left Hangzhou Mansion and headed for Suzhou Mansion.

Suzhou Prefecture.

The Metropolitan Governor's Palace.

Luo Xin read out the holy decree, and the content of the holy decree was very clear, that is, to tell Hu Zongxian that Luo Xin, as a messenger, had an overview of things in the southeast, and that Hu Zongxian was no exception, and that he should obey Hu Zongxian's dispatch.

Hu Zongxian accompanied Luo Xin and Liu Shouyou into the study, invited the two of them to sit down, and after serving tea, asked with a smile:

"Lord Luo, what is needed, just tell my brother, my brother is broken, and it is incumbent on me."

"It's not that serious." Luo Xin said with a smile: "You also know, the Xu family has already organized the supply of goods, and today they have already started trading with the merchants of the vassal country." Five days later, it was the time for the merchants of the vassal kingdom to leave the Ming Dynasty. This transaction is still the continuation of the last time the Great Ming Shui Master protected the merchants of the feudal kingdom. Therefore, this time, it is also necessary for the elder brother to send the elite of the Daming Navy Division to protect the merchants of the vassal kingdom to go to sea. ”

Hu Zongxian's face showed a wry smile and said: "Lord Luo, I have no problem sending sailors, I can send all the sailors, but we really can't beat any pirates." ”
