Hu Zongxian felt unbalanced again, thinking about how many promises he had made before, Mao Haifeng didn't trust him, but he didn't expect that Mao Haifeng would completely trust him when Luo Xin came.Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the imbalance in his heart, squeezed a smile on his face and said:

"Has Mr. Mao seen our sincerity?"

"I see!" Mao Haifeng nodded repeatedly.

"So you should also show a little sincerity?"

A trace of caution appeared in Mao Haifeng's eyes and he said, "What kind of sincerity does the Master want us to show?"

Hu Zongxian looked at Luo Dao: "No, do you have a plan for the Shibo Secretary?"

Luo Xin nodded and said, "I have some plans."

"Then where are you going to build the pier?"

"Heinin!"

Hu Zongxian thought for a while and said, "Not bad!"

Mao Haifeng on the side was stunned and said, "Why don't you build a pier by the sea?"

Luo Xin smiled lightly, but he didn't hide it from Mao Haifeng and said, "It's safe!"

Mao Haifeng showed embarrassment when he heard the words, and then stopped talking. At this moment, Hu Zongxian took out a map and unfolded it on the table, pointed his fingers on several islands and said:
"These islands are on the main roads entering and leaving Haining, so if you want to open the sea in Haining, the pirates on these islands must be eliminated. It is not impossible for our Daming navy to destroy them, but we must see your sincerity, of course I also want to see the strength that Mr. Mao has been talking about. There is no problem with our cooperation, but you have to show your strength to prove it."

As soon as he heard that Hu Zongxian was doubting their strength, Mao Haifeng immediately raised his eyebrows, stood up and said:
"Lord Ministry, Lord Luo, don't worry. I'll go back right away, wipe out the pirates there in the shortest possible time, and clear the waterway for you."

"Okay!" Hu Zongxian said with a smile on his face: "As long as you eliminate those pirates, I will have a reason to speak to His Majesty. Then your father, an officer of the Navy Governor, will run away."

As soon as he heard that he could be an official, Mao Haifeng immediately became excited again and said: "That's all, then I'll take my leave. The two adults just wait to hear the good news."

Hu Zongxian laughed loudly and said, "I will hold a celebration banquet at the Governor's Mansion to wait for your triumphant return."

Mao Haifeng left in a hurry, Hu Zongxian was in a good mood, and immediately ordered his servants to prepare a banquet to have a drink with Luo Xin.Of course Luo Xin couldn't refuse, but before the food and wine were served, someone came to report that Mao Haifeng had come again.Both Hu Zongxian and Luo Xin were taken aback, Hu Zongxian ordered someone to invite Mao Haifeng in, and after a while he saw Mao Haifeng walking in, his head was full of sweat, and he saluted Luo Xin:

"My lord, can you always write a few words for Haifeng?"

While talking, he handed a white-faced fan to Luo Xin with both hands. Luo Xin couldn't help but smile when he saw his sweaty face and longing expression.Presumably, after Mao Haifeng left the Governor's Mansion, he ran all the way to buy this fan. Thinking of him as a pirate, but holding a fan, he felt even more funny in his heart, so he turned his head and said to Hu Zongxian:
"Trouble, my lord."

Hu Zongxian also showed a smile on his face, clapped his hands, and immediately ordered someone to wait for him with pen and ink. Luo Xin wrote a poem on the fan, and then said to Mao Haifeng:

"Is Mao Zhuangshi still satisfied?"

"Satisfied! Satisfied!" Mao Haifeng held the fan in his hand as if he had found a treasure, and said goodbye to Luo Xin and Hu Zongxian, and walked towards the door excitedly, muttering uncontrollably:

"Shock to death those Japanese grandchildren!"

Luo Xin looked away from Mao Haifeng's back, shook his head and said with a smile: "This Mao Haifeng is a wonderful person."

"Hmph, he's just a short-sighted person." Hu Zongxian snorted coldly.

"However, that Wang Zhi is not Mao Haifeng." Now that Luo Xin had an idea, he wanted to play Hu Zongxian's plan.

"It's just a pirate leader!" Hu Zongxian smiled contemptuously: "As long as he destroys those pirates, he will go to perish."

"Oh?" Luo Xin looked at Hu Zongxian.

At this time, all kinds of dishes have been delivered like water, Hu Zongxian smiled proudly and said:

"What is Wang Zhi's identity now? It can be said that he is the big brother of the pirates, similar to the status of the leader. But once he destroys those pirates, I will immediately announce that Wang Zhi has defected to the court and assist the court to destroy the pirates Then Wang Zhi's identity will immediately change from the big brother of the pirates to the eagle dog of the imperial court. Those pirates who are attached to Wang Zhi will immediately turn against Wang Zhi. Once the pirates have civil strife, that is our opportunity.

Moreover, since I became governor, I have vigorously rectified the water army. Now my Daming water army is ready to fight, and it is only a matter of time before we wipe out pirates and Japanese pirates. "

Luo Xin couldn't help but admire Hu Zongxian at this time, and couldn't help but praise: "Good strategy."

Hu Zongxian restrained the smile on his face, and sincerely said to Luo Dao: "No, when I destroy the pirates and Japanese pirates, I'm afraid it will be the time when I leave the southeast and return to Beijing. At that time, I still hope that Buqi will be my brother in front of Your Majesty." A few words."

Hearing this, Luo Xin pondered for a while and said, "No, I'll impeach you if I see it."

Hu Zongxian was taken aback when he heard the words, and then realized that Emperor Jiajing was most concerned about balance. Luo Xin's impeachment of him proved that there was a conflict between him and Luo Xin, which made Emperor Jiajing happy.If Luo Xin really speaks well for him, I'm afraid both he and Luo Xin are in danger.Now he laughed and said:

"Yes! Yes! Impeachment, must be impeachment! No, brother toast to you."

"Don't respect my brother!"

"Please!"

"Please!"

The two drank it down in one gulp, and then laughed out loud.At this time, Hu Zongxian completely let go of his vigilance towards Luo Xin, he knew that Luo Xin would not dare to take the credit even if he gave him the credit with Luo Xin's status as the master of meritorious service.So there is no concealment of his plan.

The two of them chatted and chatted. After drinking for three rounds, Hu Zongxian suddenly said: "No, although this city's bureau is a pool of muddy water, it will be resisted and conspired by powerful families, and even high officials in the court, but It's also a piece of fat, didn't you think about getting a piece of it?"

Luo Xin looked at Hu Zongxian, and he saw greed in Hu Zongxian's eyes.He couldn't help shaking his head in his heart, Hu Zongxian had collected an unknown amount of money from the southeast, and now he has his eyes on Shibosi, so he doesn't think about his future fate?He didn't think that Emperor Jiajing would kill him?
It is impossible for Luo Xin to let Hu Zongxian intervene in the Shibo Department, but it is also impossible not to give Hu Zongxian some meat. After thinking for a while, he said:

"Shibosi, Your Majesty is watching closely. If you are not careful, you are afraid of making mistakes. How dare you take a share of Shiboji?"

Disappointment appeared in Hu Zongxian's eyes, and then he heard Luo Xin continue to say:

"However, it's right to provide yourself with a little convenience, hehe..."

"What kind of convenience?" Hu Zongxian's eyes lit up.

With a move in Luo's heart, a bright light flashed from his heart, and he immediately cupped his hands towards Hu Zongxian and said:

"This matter has to trouble you, brother!"

"What's the matter, tell me! If my brother can help, I will never refuse."

Luo Xin lowered his voice and said, "Brother, are all the craftsmen of shipbuilding in your hands?"

Hu Zongxian pondered for a moment, then his eyes brightened and he said:

"No, you want to do maritime trade?"

"Of course I do!"

"How are we working together?"

"how to cooperate?"

"I'll send out ships and people, and you'll pay for the shipments. You'll be in charge of dealing with those vassal states, and we'll share it [-]-[-]."

Luo Xin despised Hu Zongxian in his heart. Now the navy is under Hu Zongxian's control. It is easy to send out ships and people, but let himself pay for money, ship goods, and be responsible for dealing with the feudal states. Fifty-five percent, he made all the cheap money, this person is really greedy.

Naturally, Luo Xin would not agree, but Hu Zongxian's offer of cooperation made his heart move, and he asked softly:

"Brother, how many boats can you ship?"

Hu Zongxian thought for a while, stretched out a slap and said: "Five big boats."

Luo Xin pondered for a while and said: "Brother, you also know the family background of my Luo family. It can be said that there is no family background. A few years ago, my Luo family was still farming in Shanglin Village. It can be said that it is impoverished. Growing the family has always been unreasonable. So there is no need for an independent business. Do you think this is good? You give me two big boats, I will be responsible for sending people, and you will help me train sailors, and then we will each do our own business. You don’t need to ship the goods, let alone deal with the vassal state, you will send someone to take care of the business of your three ships, and the big brother just waits to collect the money.”

Hu Zongxian stared straight at Luo Dao: "No, those big ships belong to the navy. It's not bad to use them to do business in your spare time, but I don't dare to give it to you completely!"

Luo Xin smiled lightly and said, "Brother, if you want to grow your family, you must have your own strength. I think I must understand this."

"Understanding is understanding, but..."

"Brother!" Luo Xin interrupted Hu Zongxian and said, "Don't fool me about those things in the military. Just go out to sea and say that those ships were robbed by pirates, who will say anything? Brother, I only want two boats, I will not write down this feeling."

Hu Zongxian frowned slightly. In fact, as Luo Xin said, now Hu Zongxian is covering the sky in the southeast with one hand. Let alone two boats, even if five boats are given to Luo Xin, they can cover the past, and no one will find out.Moreover, he has been in the southeast for a long time, and he is very clear about maritime trade.Once Luo Xin's shipping company is in operation, it will definitely be a lot of money.At that time, Luo Xin will ship goods to him and deal with feudal states, and he will definitely become a rich man in no time.

However, he couldn't figure out one thing. He originally planned to ship five ships. With these five ships, he could form a fleet, and he would not be afraid of pirates when sailing on the sea.And by that time, either Wang Zhi, the biggest pirate leader, has been disabled, or Wang Zhi has been recruited, no matter what happens, there will be no more danger.

However, Luo Xin only needs two boats, what can two boats do?Even if you helped Luo Xin train the sailors, at sea, wouldn't they be robbed by pirates?
But he saw that Luo Xin's expression was very firm, he couldn't figure out what Luo Xin was thinking, but he was not willing to reject Luo Xin.He can imagine that once Luo Xin is rejected, not only will the cooperation between the two of them end, but also there will be a gap between them. He will be dismissed or even killed by Emperor Jiajing.But Luo Xin was able to handle the fear of Emperor Jiajing with ease, so he needed Luo Xin's help.After thinking for a while, he raised a finger and tentatively said:

"One!"

Luo Xin shook his head and said, "Brother, if a boat goes out to sea, isn't that a gift for pirates?"

Hu Zongxian thought to himself: "The two boats are also gifts for the pirates."

At the moment, I pondered for a while, and a trace of helplessness rose in my heart.He collected a lot of money in the southeast, but most of the money was given to Yan Song at the beginning, and now he doesn't have much money.But he has to give gifts to the high officials in the court, big gifts.It's just so that those senior officials in the court can speak well for him in front of Emperor Jiajing, so that Emperor Jiajing can leave him a way out.This requires a lot of money, and it is no longer realistic to search in the southeast now, and the southeast has been almost searched by him.The only way to get a lot of money in a short period of time is by sea trade, and Luo Xin, the person in charge of the Shipping Department, has a unique advantage in doing sea trade.Finally, he gritted his teeth and said:
"Okay, my brother will give you two big ships and train the sailors for you."

"Thank you bro!"

Luo Xin did not return to Hangzhou immediately, and lived in the Governor's Mansion.He wrote a letter and asked Wan Daquan to send someone to deliver it to Luo Qing and Luo Sheng, and asked them to come to the Governor's Mansion immediately with five hundred confidants.Then he left the Governor's Mansion in casual clothes and took to the streets of Suzhou.

Wan Daquan also followed Luo Xin in casual clothes, giving the impression that a scholar was playing with a servant.Behind them, in front of them, on the left, and on the right, there are dozens of soldiers pretending to be ordinary people, who don't know Luo Xin.

The street was bustling with people, and various shops were next to each other. Luo Xin took a quick look at the flowers and found that there were many shops selling silk in Suzhou.With so many shops selling silk, where did the silk come from?

Luo Xin stopped and walked, passing the gate of a house, the gate was open, and there was a plaque on the gate with four large characters on it:

Octagon Escort.

A smile appeared on the corner of Luo Xin's mouth, he turned his head and whispered something to Wan Daquan, and then continued to walk forward.Wan Daquan secretly made a gesture, and a businessman walking beside him approached casually. Wan Daquan kept walking and whispered a few words, and the two quickly separated.
