Mingshi

Chapter 1453 The Finished Product
"Brother Pang?"

"Ugh……"

"What did your family members tell you? What news is there?"

"I... are talking outside..."

"say what?"

"Say...we went to block the palace gates to increase our salaries. And said that His Majesty worked hard for Daming, but was corrupted by us corrupt officials. So in recent years, His Majesty has severely cracked down on corruption and killed many corrupt officials. So we officials dared not embezzle any more, so we forced His Majesty to increase our salaries. We are a bunch of greedy villains, and even if we die in a prison, we will leave behind eternal infamy."

The prison fell silent all of a sudden, every official felt panicked, even Hai Rui was panicked.Each of them knows that if public opinion is so oriented, they will die in vain.Even though they didn't care about their reputation after death, their efforts did not have any effect at all. Emperor Jiajing should practice Taoism and continue to practice Taoism. How should the Ming court operate? Everything they did seems to be a joke.

The most important thing is, apart from Hai Rui, the rest of the officials are all guilty!

Why are you guilty?
Because before they blocked the palace gate to write the letter, they wrote to Emperor Jiajing asking for a salary increase.This is the ironclad evidence, this is the real hammer!
Emperor Jiajing could have completely changed positions, kept their letter of blocking the palace gate, and passed on their previous letter of salary increase, and their life would be really ruined.

At this moment, almost everyone was shaken.

One is dead, leaving behind a whole body of infamy.

One is that it is better to live than to die.

Is this still an option?

Of course, it is better to live than die if you choose well!
The next day.

Then a large number of officials began to write confessions, but Luo Xin felt a little displeased, and thought to himself, you confessed in such a rush, why are you so unreserved?
How can this make them procrastinate?
Five people were interrogated in a row, and all five of them wrote confessions and were released by Luo Xin. In this way, 23 officials have been released.The eunuch at the side was beaming with joy, Luo Xin simply stopped the trial, and said to the eunuch:

"Eunuch, it's noon, let's stop here today. Continue tomorrow."

"Come on, Master Luo, we should pursue the victory and continue in the afternoon."

"No hurry!" Luo Xin said with a smile, "Let His Majesty be happy for a few more days in a row."

The eunuch's heart moved, isn't it!

If you admit it all wrong today, the emperor will be happy for such a day.Wouldn't the emperor be happy every day if he admitted his mistakes so few times every day?
The emperor is happy, and his life is also comfortable!

"Lord Luo, I'm sorry!"

"Ha ha……"

The two left the prison and separated, Luo Xin went back to the mansion, and the eunuch first went to the real estate he bought outside the palace, had a meal and rest, and lingered until dusk before going to see Emperor Jiajing.

As soon as Luo Xin returned to the mansion and met Dai'er, he saw a smile on Dai'er's brows and asked:

"Daier, why are you so happy today?"

"Guess?" Dai'er wrinkled her nose mischievously.

Luo Xin thought for a while, then smiled and said, "But the soap and perfume have been made?"

"Yeah!" Dai'er nodded excitedly, "Master, go take a shower first, then eat, and we'll go and have a look."

"it is good!"

An hour later, Luo Xin and Dai'er came to an independent courtyard.At this time, the courtyard has been guarded very tightly by the servants.These family members are all veterans from the battlefield. If they want to sneak in, unless they are people like Fortune, it is impossible for others.

Walking into the courtyard, I saw that the inside was in full swing.At this time, the courtyard has been temporarily transformed into a small workshop.There are workshops, warehouses, and dormitories.

"My lord!" Seeing Luo Xin, those house slaves hurriedly bowed down.

"You are busy with your work."

Luo Xin waved his hand, followed Dai'er into the warehouse, and saw some shelves in the warehouse.There are some soaps and perfumes in porcelain bottles on it.

Dai'er over there has already filled a basin of water, and said to Luo, "Try."

Luo Xin nodded, picked up a piece of soap, washed his hands, it was very clean, and had a faint fragrance.

"Not bad!" A smile appeared on Luo Xin's face.

"Try this!" Dai'er took a small porcelain bottle and handed it to Luo Xin.

Luo Xin took the porcelain bottle, opened the lid, sniffed it, nodded happily and said:
"Yes, this is the taste."

"Sir, how do these two things operate?"

Luo Xin thought for a while and said, "Nowadays the court is in turmoil, and our two businesses are not ordinary businesses. They are aimed at rich and powerful families, and ordinary people can't afford it at all. Therefore, once we make a move, we will definitely attract people from the court and China. Up to the emperor, down to the attention of all the officials. Now that the old and the new are changing, it is still important to be stable."

"Then... what should we do? Is it just idle? It's all money!" Dai'er was a little unhappy, and pouted.

"Why are you idle?" Luo Xin stroked Dai'er's hair with a smile and said, "Starting tomorrow, we will set aside a yard in the village outside the city, and then start making these two things. Then they will be shipped to Hangzhou, sell to the merchants of the vassal state, especially those Western merchants from Frankie, they must be willing to pay a high price. I will transfer a few people to your hands, and they will arrange things properly."

"Okay!" Dai'er nodded excitedly, "I'll go to Zhuangzi outside the city to make arrangements tomorrow."

Luo Xin nodded and said: "I'll ask Cuiqiao to come over in the afternoon, you two discuss it yourself, you tell her what I mean, and she will send you the manpower you need."

"Okay!" Dai'er nodded happily.

The two left the courtyard, Luo Xin called Lu Daqing to give some instructions, Lu Daqing left in a hurry, went to Maosheng Hutong, and informed Wang Cuiqiao to come to the house.

After lunch, Wang Cuiqiao entered Luo Mansion through the back door.Luo Xin discussed with Dai'er and Wang Cuiqiao in the bedroom, and then Luo Xin left, leaving the room for Dai'er and Wang Cuiqiao to talk about women's private matters.

Luo Xin did not go to the study, but found a guest room at random, took off his clothes, lay down on the bed, and soon fell into a sound sleep.In the past few days, he has been under a lot of pressure and mentally exhausted. He has been trying cases in the prison from morning to night every day.Today, I have half a day's leisure, so I don't care about anything. I use sleep to recover from fatigue.

At dusk, Luo Xin was woken up, without asking, he knew it was Zhang Xun and the others who were on duty.These days, they came to Luo Xin's mansion together when they were on duty every day. Everyone in Luo's mansion was used to it, and Luo Xin was also used to it.
