Mingshi

Chapter 1013 Intermediary
Even if Xu Jie is not assigned, and Xu Jie is allowed to retire and return to his hometown, at that time, what status does a Xu Jie who has just had his home ransacked have?
I'm afraid that an individual can come up and bully him. The magistrate, county magistrate, etc. can definitely destroy Xu Jie's family.

Originally, Xu Luqing wanted to negotiate terms with Luo Xin, but our Xu family also sold off their property and prepared enough money, isn't it a good attitude?
The reason why the transaction with the feudal kingdom was not completed is because the time given by you, Luo Xin, was too short.Even if you can't change the time, you can always mobilize the five great families and let them sell the goods to us, right?
Of course, this is not Xu Luqing's ultimate goal. His ultimate goal is to force Luo Xin to persuade the five great families to sell their goods to the Xu family at a lower price.

However, seeing Luo Xin's attitude now, he immediately dismissed the idea.

joke!

Luo Xin simply held back bad ideas, waited until he could not organize the supply of goods, and ransacked the house.Given the enmity between Luo Xin and Xu Jie, it is very normal for Luo Xin to do so.

Don't even think about lowering the price of the five great families, as long as Luo Xin is willing to come forward to persuade the five great families to come out and sell the goods to Xu's mansion.

Xu Luqing sighed in his heart, and a sincere and humble smile appeared on his face again:
"My lord, now we can't buy the traded goods in the vicinity at all, we can only go to farther places to buy them. But there is obviously not enough in this world."

"It has nothing to do with me." Luo Xin said lightly.

Xu Luqing was choked by Luo Xin, but she could only bear it, and she had to smile and said:

"My lord, I want to ask my lord to persuade the five great families to sell their goods to the Xu family."

"Oh?" Luo Xin glanced at him, with a reluctance on his face, he said: "You can find the five great families by yourself, for business matters, as long as you are willing to pay, they have no reason not to sell."

"They just won't sell it!" Xu Luqing's face showed anger.

"Huh?" Luo Xin said with a look of surprise on his face, "They told you personally?"

"That...it's not!" Xu Luqing said with embarrassment on his face, "They didn't see me at all."

Luo Xin frowned slightly and said, "Maybe it's because I didn't see you? Don't use the heart of a villain to judge a gentleman's belly. I have been in contact with the five great families, and their hearts are not so narrow."

Xu Luqing was almost fainted by Luo Xin, what do you mean?
I'm a villain?Are they gentlemen?Do I measure the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain?

"grown ups……"

Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "By the way, I remembered. At the beginning, your Xu family forced the five great families to go to the north to expand new business routes. They must have gone to the north and haven't come back, right?"

"This...is not our Xu family, but my two incompetent younger brothers."

"Chi..." Luo Xin sneered and said, "Isn't your brother from the Xu family?"

Xu Luqing took a deep breath, cupped his hands towards Luo Xin and said, "My lord, please help me."

Luo Xin thought for a while and said, "Okay. If they didn't come back from the north, it's not because I don't help."

"It all depends on the adults."

Luo Xin nodded, and shouted outside the gate: "Daqing."

"Master Hou!"

"Go to the five great aristocratic families to deliver posts, and tonight I will invite them to a banquet at the Shibo Department."

"Lord Hou!" Lu Daqing hesitated, "I heard that the heads of the five great families have gone to the north."

"You send the post first. If they are not here, you come back. If they are, give them the post. Come back and tell me, so I can prepare the banquet."

"Yes! Lord Marquis!"

Luo Xin stood up and came to the table. Lu Daqing hurriedly spread the paper and grinded ink for Luo Xin.Luo Xin picked up the pen and wrote five posts, and then Lu Daqing left the hall with five posts.

Luo Xin returned to his seat and sat down, glanced at Xu Luqing and said, "Brother Lu Qing, wait for the news."

"Thank you sir."

Luo Xin waved his hand and stopped talking.At this time, Xu Luqing was not in the mood to speak, and looked towards the door from time to time. As time passed, anxiety gradually appeared on his face, and it became more and more intense.

Finally, footsteps sounded outside the door, and Lu Daqing's figure appeared at the door, stepped into the door, and saluted Luo Xin:
"Master Hou, the families of the five great families just came back this morning. They have promised to come to the banquet."

"Okay!" A smile appeared on Luo Xin's face: "Order to go down and prepare the banquet."

"Yes, Lord Hou!"

Lu Daqing backed out, Luo Xin looked at Xu Luqing and said, "Brother Lu Qing, you can go back, just come to the banquet at night."

"Thank you sir."

A grateful smile appeared on Xu Luqing's face, and she saluted Luo Xin, "Then...Lu Qing is leaving."

"I send you."

"Don't dare, my lord, please stay."

"Let's give it away."

Luo Xin insisted on sending Xu Luqing outside the gate, and exchanged salutes with Xu Luqing.Xu Luqing turned around, and the smile on her face darkened.

"Just came back this morning?" Xu Luqing gritted his teeth: "I haven't left the southeast at all, the five great families, okay, okay, okay, you wait. After the Xu family passes this level, I won't let you go."

at dusk.

Xu Luqing first came to Shibosi, and within a quarter of an hour, the heads of the five great families came hand in hand.Luo Xin, Xu Shixing and Xu Luqing greeted them outside the door in person.After seeing Luo Xin, the patriarchs of the five great families showed bright smiles on their faces, and saluted Luo Xin:
"I've seen Mr. Luo."

"I've met Mr. Xu!"

The Master Xu mentioned by the five masters is naturally not Xu Luqing, but Xu Shixing, the secretary of the Shibo Department.The five people seemed to have not seen Xu Luqing, which made Xu Luqing's face very ugly.

"Okay, we're old friends, don't be so polite. Please."

"Please!"

Everyone moved again and entered the flower hall.There was already a banquet in the flower hall, and after Luo Xin took his seat, all the people took their seats one after another.Luo Xin picked up the wine glass and said:

"Everyone, we meet again after a long absence. I would like to offer you a toast."

"Don't dare, take it as our toast to the adults."

The five families hurriedly stood up, Luo Xin waved his hands and said: "Sit down, sit down, don't care who is respecting whom, let's have a toast."

"Okay, I'll wait for my lord."

After drinking for three rounds, Luo Xin put down his wine glass and glanced at the crowd, and they all sat up straight and looked at Luo Xin.

"Lord Lu!" Luo Xin looked at Lu Ding and said, "This time, the five of you are going to the north to expand new business routes. How is the expansion going?"

Before Luo Xin came to the southeast, Luo Xin and the five great families had already planned in secret communication.Therefore, Lu Ding smiled and said:
"The results are gratifying. From then on, the five of us can give up the sea trade and go to the north exclusively. We just came back this morning and will start sorting out the goods at home tomorrow. Three days later, we will set off for the north."
