Xu House.

Inside the study.

A trace of sarcasm emerged from the corner of Xu Jie's mouth, and he said to an official standing opposite him: "Dezhi, it seems that the businessmen in this capital are not giving us Luohou face!"

"Businessmen seek profit, and Luo Hou wants to take money out of the pockets of those merchants, that is simply a fool's dream."

"His crazy dream has nothing to do with us, but this is also an opportunity for us. And we are not the only ones who take advantage of this opportunity!"

The sarcasm at the corner of Xu Jie's mouth was expanding, and the official looked solemn and said: "Mr. Ge, do you mean Guozijian?"

"Hehe..." Xu Jie nodded with a smile and said, "Nowadays, the city is full of wind and rain, and the streets and alleys are talking about Luo Xin's plan to repair the Longevity Palace for His Majesty. The war in the north has just passed, and the people are in dire straits. His Majesty's renovation of the Longevity Palace undoubtedly ignited a fire. The gang of Zi Guo Zi Jian was young and impulsive, if Chen Yiqin hadn't suppressed the gang of Zi Guo Zi Jian, those scholars might have ran to the gate of the palace to die, hehe ..."

When Xu Jie said this, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice, "Do you know why I agreed to Gao Gong's proposal and let Luo Xin be in charge of repairing the Longevity Palace?"

"Humble and dull."

"Hehe... I know Gao Gong's thoughts. He is also optimistic about Luo Xin's financial management ability, so he proposed to His Majesty that Luo Xin be in charge of the renovation of the Longevity Palace. But his purpose is not just to repair the Longevity Palace for His Majesty, He wants to prove Luo Xin's financial management ability through this matter. Once Luo Xin proves his financial management ability, he will suggest to His Majesty to let Luo Xin out."

"Outside?"

"That's right, Dezhi, where do you think His Majesty will put Luo Xinwai if he releases Luo Xinwai?"

"This... Your Majesty released Luo Xin outside, just to let Luo Xin earn money for His Majesty. And now the only place where Daming can earn money is Kaihai... Could it be that Your Majesty wants to send Luo Xin outside to the southeast?? "

"Not bad!" Xu Jie said with admiration in his eyes: "If Luo Xin can really solve the problem of repairing the Longevity Palace, His Majesty will definitely send Luo Xinwai to the southeast, and the official position will not be small. And That's what Gao Gong meant, because he knew that His Majesty had always supported me before, and that his support for him is still not enough now, because Luo Xin was in the capital. Only when Luo Xin was driven out of the capital would it be the time between me and Gao Gong. And I also want to have a real duel with Gao Gong, to really confirm my position in the cabinet. Therefore, Luo Xin who is now in the capital is a stumbling block between me and Gao Gong, and he must be kicked out.

Of course, it would be even better if Luo Xin could be put to death. I have been doing this kind of thing, but Luo Xin's city is really deep, so I can't do anything about him.And I don't know what method he used, His Majesty actually let him be the teacher of King Yu, this is really too great a threat to us.Therefore, since Luo Xin cannot be completely overthrown, he has no choice but to take the next best thing and drive Luo Xin out of the capital.After I confirm my position in the cabinet, it won't be too late to deal with Luo Xin.

This is one aspect that I agree with Gao Gong's proposal, and another aspect, this is also our Luo Xin's chance for a fatal blow.If Luo Xin can't solve the problem of repairing the Longevity Palace and cause riots, such as the current situation, the Guozijian is a kindling, once this kindling becomes a prairie fire, it can burn Luo Xin to death.Therefore, regardless of whether Luo Xin has the ability to manage money, it is beneficial to us and has no harm. "

"My lord is wise! Then we just sit and watch the situation rise?"

"Of course not!" Xu Jie said with a faint smile, "Kicking Luo Xin out of the capital, how can he be put to death? You can arrange it, let us in the Imperial College make the commotion louder, and kick Luo Xin out of the capital. Luo Xin is cornered."

High House.

study.

Chen Yiqin said anxiously to Gao Gong: "Lord Gao, the city is full of wind and rain, and I can't control the Imperial College anymore. Those students are very emotional. They have already chanted the slogan of 200 years of the Ming Dynasty, and they are going to the gate of the palace." Dead remonstrance."

"Then what are you doing here?" Gao Gong's expression sank and he said, "Aren't you going back to control the situation?"

"Bang bang bang..."

There was a knock on the door of the study.

"Come in!"

As soon as Xu Jie finished speaking, he saw his old housekeeper open the door and said, "Master, there is a man named Wu Qiugui outside who wants to see Mr. Chen."

Xu Jie looked at Chen Yiqin, and Chen Yiqin's face changed drastically. Before he left the Imperial College and came to Xu Jie's place, he asked Wu Qiugui to be optimistic about which students, but now Wu Qiugui came here. This...something must have happened matter.Seeing the drastic change in Chen Yiqin's face, Xu Jie's eyes also shrank, and said in a deep voice:
"Let him come over."

"Yes, sir!"

The old butler left in a hurry, and Wu Qiugui was led in by the old butler soon. Before Wu Qiugui could speak, Chen Yiqin asked anxiously:

"But something happened to the Imperial College?"

Wu Qiugui said with a mournful face: "Master Chen, the students have gone to the gate of the palace..."

"What?" Chen Yiqin said in a panic, "Didn't you tell them to keep an eye on them? How do you do things?"

Wu Qiugui was about to suffer: "There are too many students. They were quiet at first, and they didn't know what was going on. Then they exploded suddenly. The humble job can't stop them at all."

"boom!"

Gao Gong suddenly rose, and strode towards the door.Chen Yiqin couldn't help but followed behind and said, "Where are you going, my lord?"

"Where are you going?" Gao Gong paused, looked at Chen Yiqin and shouted: "Where else can I go? If you let those students make big troubles, do you think I can get away with it? Luo Xin's renovation of the Longevity Palace is my fault." Recommended. Xu Jie, you old man."

"Xu Jie...my lord, you..."

"You have already calmed down the students of the Imperial College, but suddenly rioted. If someone hadn't arranged for it, do you think such a thing would happen? The old man is really ruthless! Kill two birds with one stone!"

"Then you..."

"Go to the gate of the imperial palace to calm down the situation, you go with me. By the way..." Gao Gong looked at Wu Qiugui and said:
"Wu Qiugui!"

"I am humble!"

"Go to Luo Mansion immediately and tell Luo Hou about the matter."

"Yes, sir, do you have anything to tell Luo Hou?"

Xu Jie closed his eyes, opened them in less than a breath and said, "No, you just need to tell him what happened here. With Luohou's strategy, he will know what he should do."

"Yes!"

Luofu.

At this time, there were more than twenty people in the hall who couldn't sit still anymore. Two quarters of an hour had passed, and Luo Xin hadn't appeared yet, sarcasm appeared on their faces, and they began to whisper.

"Brother Wang, Luo Xin really thought he could handle us."

"That's right, so what if he's an official?"

"He is too proud. Does he think that we are those prairie Tartars who can be killed by him at will?"

"After a while, he won't be proud anymore."

"Ha ha……"

In the side hall, Zhou Yu and others couldn't help but change their faces and look angry when they heard the conversation in the main hall.Originally, Zhou Yu and others were angry when they learned that the twenty or so people who came here were not the rightful owners of the various companies. Now they heard their unscrupulous words again, and they wanted to rush out and scold them severely.At the same time, he looked at Luo Xin worriedly.A faint smile appeared on Luo Xin's face, but he still didn't intend to go out.After another quarter of an hour, a person came in silently from the side door, it was Lu Yuan, who came to Luo Xin, and handed a piece of paper in his hand to Luo Xin, Luo Xin glanced at it. , and then handed it to Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu's expression changed drastically after reading it, and he passed it to Zhang Xun with trembling hands. At this moment, Luo Xin stood up from the chair, then walked out from the side door, bypassing the The house, from the door into the hall.

Hearing the footsteps at the door, the whispers in the hall became silent, and more than twenty pairs of eyes looked at Luo Xin. A smile appeared on Luo Xin's face, and he cupped his hands towards the crowd and said:
"I've kept you all waiting!"

Don't look at the [-] or so people who talked happily in the room just now, and underestimated Luo Xin. When they saw Luo Xin coming in, they all stood up early and saluted Luo Xin:
"Meet Luo Hou."

"Everyone, please get up!"

Luo Xin walked to his seat and sat down. Twenty or so people stood up and looked at Luo Xin.Luo Xin said indifferently:

"The purpose of calling everyone here today is to repair the Longevity Palace." Having said that, his expression sank: "It's just that the people from all of your firms are not the right ones. Are you the right ones?"

"Luohou!" At this moment, Zhang Zhigu's younger brother saluted Luo Xin: "My brother is ill, so let the villain come here. Your Majesty will repair the Longevity Palace. Our Zhang's Commercial Bank is willing to donate 500 taels of silver."

Luo Xin's face fell down at that time, his eyes became sharp, and he said coldly: "Bold, what do you think of your majesty? Donate 500 taels of silver? Do you think your majesty is a beggar?"

"I……"

As soon as Luo Xin showed his power, the majesty of his body radiated out, and when he heard Luo Xin say this again, his face turned pale.His lips trembled, but he didn't know what to say.

"Come on!"

"Hou Ye!" Immediately, four generals from the Luo Mansion came in from outside.

"Shoot him out!"

"Yes!"

A family came forward, grabbed Zhang Zhigu's younger brother, and threw him out of the gate. With a "thud", he was thrown outside, which made him scream. When he got up, the four generals rushed over with sticks and beat him down.He hurriedly got up from the ground and was beaten out screaming all the way.

The hall was silent, and more than [-] people looked at Luo Xin in fear. They didn't expect that Luo Xin would really dare to fight!Thinking of what Luo Xin said just now, he scolded Zhang Zhidong, saying that he treated His Majesty as a beggar.

but……

They can't be the masters at all, and they have been told how much to donate by the master when they came.These people couldn't help but looked at each other, and each of them secretly said in their hearts:

"It seems that today's beating can't be avoided! Let's just beat us, anyway, we don't dare to kill us. I want to see, after you beat me away, how will you, Luo Xin, repair the Longevity Palace for His Majesty?"

Therefore, although a person's face is pale and his eyes are terrified, his heart is ready to freeze with Luo Xin.

"Everyone sit down!" Luo Xin's voice sounded faintly.

Everyone sat down obediently and made up their minds that no one would speak this time.If Luo Xin asked him to wait for others to donate, he would tell the number of the Patriarch himself, and then he would be beaten up.

Zhou Yu and the others in the side hall looked at each other. They didn't know what Luo Xin was doing, especially when they saw the piece of paper that Lu Yuan brought in just now. On that piece of paper, it was written that all the students of the Imperial College ran to the palace. The remonstrance in front of him is simply trying to put Luo Xin to death.But here, Luo Xin drove away the donors.Could it be that Luo Xin didn't dare to raise donations because he knew about the Imperial College?

However, if he does not collect donations, how can he repair the Longevity Palace?

"Benhou didn't call you here this time to ask you to donate money. The court has no money, and you don't need your donations to repair a Longevity Palace. This world belongs to His Majesty. How much silver will His Majesty lack? Someone even Dare to treat His Majesty as a beggar, really damn it."

When everyone heard Luo Xin's words, confusion appeared in their eyes.

Didn't Luo Xin ask them to donate money?
So... what did you call them for?
Could it be... to buy materials for repairing the Longevity Palace from them?
Thinking of this, everyone's spirits couldn't help but feel that it was impossible.What is the financial situation of Ming Dynasty now, others don't know, don't these businessmen know?
This made them even more confused, they didn't know what kind of dragon formation Luo Xin was setting up.However, at this time they were more focused, for fear that they might miss a word Luo Xin said.

"Since you are not the masters, I don't care why your master didn't come today. However, I will only say the rest of my words once, so listen carefully."

Everyone tensed up, even Zhou Yu and others in the side hall also tensed up.Luo Xin's voice sounded coldly in his ear.

"This renovation of the Longevity Palace requires various materials such as sand, stone, brick, tile, wood, paint, etc. I will choose one of you for each material, and only one. And the imperial court will issue a plaque to each family, There are only four words on the plaque

Royal Exclusive! "

"Om..."

There was a commotion in the hall, who are these people?Be a businessman!Merchants are chasing profit, but at this moment, they realize how important this "royal exclusive supply" has had on them.

For example, there are three brick-making firms in the capital, and if anyone gets the royal exclusive brand, they will monopolize the market in a very short period of time.

No matter who builds the house, if the prices of three brick-making firms are the same, but another firm is specialized in providing bricks for the palace, who should buy it?

Do you still have to ask?
This...the business opportunities are simply limitless!
