Luo Xin sighed in his heart when he saw how everyone was beating their blood, he has been an official for thousands of miles only for money!

However, Luo Xin did not object.

A gentleman loves money to get it!He doesn't object to his subordinates loving money, as long as they make money in a serious manner, it's fine, and they should be supported.So, he said lightly:
"I will sort out an assessment system, Mr. He will assess you, once a month. How many things do you do every month, what is the percentage of completion, and you will be selected A, B, C, etc. The reward for each level is Not the same. But I can tell you here, as long as you do a good job, the rewards you get will not be less than what you got from corruption before. And you are taking money legitimately, only honor, you can be generous To spend, others can only envy."

Everyone's eyes lit up, but then Luo Xin's words made their hearts tremble again.

"However, if there is a reward, there will be a punishment. The Shibo Department does not need mediocre people. Those who fail the assessment will have their salary deducted, and those who fail three times in a row will be dismissed."

Everyone agreed, and Luo Xin said flatly: "Go back and think about how to do your own work well, and start building the pier tomorrow. You all step back, Mr. He will stay."

After everyone retreated, Luo Xin looked at He Nian and said, "Tomorrow, let's go to Haining to have a look."

"Yes, my lord!"

Luo Xin saw the hesitation on He Nian's face, and asked, "What's the matter, Mr. He?"

"My lord!" He Nian hesitated again and said, "The reward and punishment system you set is very good, but our Shipbuilding Department has no money now. Even to build a wharf, we still need to go to the magistrate to ask for materials and money. Where can we get the money? Reward them? If the adults can’t come up with the money at that time, it will be a breach of faith, and the consequences will be very serious, and people’s hearts will be scattered.”

"I understand!" Luo Xin rubbed his brows and said, "However, there are no rules, nothing is perfect!"

"My lord brought money from the capital?" He Nian looked at Luo Xin hopefully.

"No!" Luo Xin shook his head.

Bitterness appeared on He Nian's face and he said, "Then what should we do?"

"Master He has a good plan?"

He Nian shook his head and said, "The humble official can't think of a way."

"Forget it, the boat will be straight when it arrives at the pier."

He Nian shook his head and thought to himself, you have a big heart.

And at this moment, Lu Daqing walked in, saw He Nian was there, and closed his mouth.He Nian clapped his hands wisely and said:
"If you have nothing to do, my lord, I will go down to the humble position first."

After He Nian retreated, Lu Daqing said softly, "Master Hou, General Qi and the uncle are here."

Luo Xin couldn't help being moved, if there were no major events, it would be impossible for Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing to come together.Stand up and say:

"Take me there."

When I got back to the second hall, I saw Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing sitting there, strode in and said with a smile:
"Brother Yuan Jing, big brother, why are you here?"

Both Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing stood up solemnly and said, "No way, little brother."

"Don't worry, let's sit down and talk slowly."

The three sat down again, Luo Xin looked at Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing and said, "You two came together?"

"No!" Luo Qing shook his head and said, "I am General Qi whom I met at the door."

"What happened?"

Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing looked at each other, and Qi Jiguang said first: "I have received an order from the Ministry Hall, asking me to lead the army to Suzhou immediately."

"Me too!" Luo Qing also said in a concentrated voice.

Luo Xin couldn't help but frowned slightly and asked, "Why?"

"I don't know!" Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing shook their heads together.

Luo Xin tapped the armrest of the chair lightly, frowning and thinking.Said slowly:

"This must be a big move! Why are you here?"

"The military order is like a mountain. Brother Wei is here to say goodbye to you. When brother Wei is not here, Buqi, you have to be more careful."

"Little brother, big brother also wants to go to Suzhou with a handsome army."

"Can't you not go? Your Majesty has transferred you to me."

Qi Jiguang smiled wryly: "It's not a transfer, it's a loan. The Master of the Ministry can transfer at any time."

Luo Xin frowned even tighter. After thinking for a while, he decided to follow Qi Jiguang to Suzhou to ask Hu Zongxian what he was going to do. This is not good for running Shibo, because Luo Xin needs the cooperation of Hu Zongxian.Finally he said helplessly:

"You guys have to be more careful."

"You too be careful!"

After sending Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing away, Luo Xin, who returned to the second hall to sit down, narrowed his eyes, thought for a while and called out:

"Daqing!"

"Lord Hou!" Lu Daqing appeared at the door, Luo Xin beckoned, Lu Daqing came to Luo Xin, Luo Xin said softly:
"You go to the Escort immediately and bring back all the information they have collected recently."

"Yes, Lord Hou!"

Lu Daqing left in a hurry, and about an hour later, Lu Daqing returned in a hurry.Carrying a bundle in his hand, he put it on Luo Xin's case.Luo Xin opened the package, and saw a stack of thick papers inside, and flipped through them one by one.

Looking at it, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, he pulled out the three pieces of paper, put them aside, and then continued to read.When he saw the news on a piece of paper, his expression gradually became serious.

What was written on this piece of paper was that Wang Zhi would hold a pirate meeting on Lang'er Island on February [-]th, and all pirate leaders would attend.Luo Xin understood Hu Zongxian's meaning in just an instant.He heard that Wang Zhi was going to hold a good-or-nothing meeting on Lang'er Island, so he mobilized all the main forces and wiped out Wang Zhi and all the pirate leaders.

but……

There are so many problems here!

How could the news of Wang Zhi convening a meeting of pirate chiefs spread so quickly?Even the Escort Bureau just established in the southeast can receive news?
How true is this?How fake?

If it is fake, what is Wang Zhi's purpose?
"Daqing!"

"Master Hou!"

"Look at the news!"

Lu Daqing took the paper with both hands, read it quickly, and put it on the case.

"What do you think?" Rosen asked softly.

"I don't think this news is credible. If the pirates really held a meeting on Lang'er Island, it would be impossible to spread such an uproar."

"Not bad!" Luo Xin said softly, "Go to the Escort immediately and let them collect them as quickly as possible. Have the pirates ever held meetings before this? out."

"Yes, Lord Hou!"

"By the way, call Wan Daquan in."

"Yes, Lord Hou!"

Lu Daqing left in a hurry, and after a while, Wan Daquan walked in.

"Master Hou, are you looking for me?"

Luo Xin picked up the piece of paper and said, "Look at the news."

"Yes, Lord Hou!"

After Wan Daquan finished reading it, Luo Dao said, "Go down immediately and take a few people in casual clothes to investigate and see if many people know about this news."

"Yes, Lord Marquis! I will go to the humble position."

After Wan Daquan left, Luo Xin continued to read the news. After reading the news, he collected the papers, put the other three papers on top, picked them up, and walked towards the back office. When he arrived at his study, he put the papers in the drawer, made a cup of tea, came to the table, and waited for Lu Daqing and Wan Daquan while writing calligraphy.

About an hour and a half later, there were footsteps outside the door.

"Master Hou!"

"Come in!"

Wan Daquan pushed the door open and walked in, closing the door with his backhand.Seeing that Luo Xin was still writing there, he stood silently.Less than a quarter of an hour later, Luo Xin put down the brush, sat down and asked:
"How is the investigation?"

"Back to Lord Hou, many people know about this matter. At this time, many people in the restaurant and tea shop are discussing this matter."

"I see, you go down."

"Yes, Lord Hou!"

Wan Daquan retreated, but Luo Xin frowned tightly.

This is abnormal, very abnormal.

It was already dark, and a crescent moon had quietly climbed up the branches.Footsteps sounded outside the door, and then came Lu Daqing's voice:
"Master Hou."

"Come in."

As soon as the door slammed, Lu Daqing walked in, closed the door behind his back, and said softly: "Master Hou, after investigation by the Escort Bureau, the pirates used to gather irregularly, but the news slowly spread after the gathering. Come out, it never came out before the meeting."

Luo Xin's face became gloomy, it was obviously a conspiracy, a conspiracy of pirates.

But why would pirates do this?Why did Wang Zhi do this?
Didn't Wang Zhi think about making peace with Hu Zongxian?What is his purpose in doing this?
Could it be that the peace talks between Wang Zhi and Hu Zongxian were fake, but they wanted to lure Hu Zongxian's army to Lang'er Island and give the Ming army a heavy blow?
wrong!

Luo Xin began to recall Wang Zhi's behavior in history. He was a person who wholeheartedly wanted to be recruited, and it was impossible for him to take the initiative to start a war with Daming.

Could it be that Wang Zhi wanted to integrate all the pirates?

Not right either!
If that was the case, Wang Zhi would not spread the news.

Could this not be done by Wang Zhi?

Luo jumped in confidence.

This is not impossible.

He believed that Wang Zhi was negotiating with Hu Zongxian, all the pirates should know, because this matter has been dragged on for too long, and Mao Haifeng has been in Suzhou for almost a year, visiting brothels all day long, and has never hidden How could those pirates not know his identity?
Wang Zhi didn't control all the pirates, and even if some pirates obeyed Wang Zhi's orders, they were forming an alliance with Wang Zhi, respecting Wang Zhi as the leader of the alliance, not Wang Zhi's direct lineage.Now hearing that Wang Zhi is going to negotiate with Hu Zongxian and be recruited by the court, this will definitely make those pirates feel uneasy.

Because Wang Zhi has a criminal record.

Back then, Wang Zhi cooperated with the court, and was even appointed an official by the court. With the help of the court, he eliminated many pirates.Now, will Wang Zhi exterminate those pirates again?
How could this not make those pirates fear Wang Zhi?

Moreover, there are smart people among the pirates. They should be able to judge that even if Chao Tang accepted Wang Zhi, they would not accept these pirates.

They were still waiting and watching before, because they thought that Wang Zhi and Chaotang might not be able to negotiate successfully, especially seeing that Mao Haifeng had stayed in Suzhou for nearly a year, and the two parties still hadn't made any progress, so they all looked at Wang Zhi and Chaotang. The progress of Hu Zongxian's negotiations.

but……

Luo Xin came, with the will to open the sea.Then Mao Haifeng left excitedly.

This shows what?
This shows that Daming is about to open the sea, and Hu Zongxian also Wang Zhi accelerated the peace talks.This made the pirates nervous. If the court really opened the sea, then Wang Zhi would definitely hope to be recruited. From then on, he would cleanse himself and do sea trade with Daming in an upright manner, instead of smuggling secretly as a pirate.

In this way, those pirates who are not directly related to Wang Zhi will be in danger. Wang Zhi will definitely destroy them. On the one hand, I am for the conditions I put forward by the Ming Dynasty Hall, and on the other hand, I want to monopolize the sea trade.

After analyzing the reasons, the only thing left to do is whether the pirate meeting on Lang'er Island is true or not.

Shouldn't be true.

Luo Xin just thought for a while and felt that this matter was not true, but a conspiracy.Because in the Daming sea area, only Wang Zhi can fight against the Ming army, and the remaining small and medium-sized pirates, including those real Japanese, are not enough to fight against the Ming army.Therefore, these real and fake Japanese pirates are just fighting on the move. When they fight against the Ming army, they always fight if they can beat them, and leave if they can't beat them.Moreover, they attacked Daming very suddenly, and colluded with the people on the shore, knowing when, where, and where the emptiness was.

There has never been such a situation where all the power is concentrated on Lang'er Island to collide with Da Ming's main force.

Japanese pirates are not crazy, let alone stupid, they will not do this.

So, what is their purpose in doing this?
Purpose……

Wang Zhi had the strength to negotiate with the court, but they did not.So they don't want to open the sea, they just want to smuggle.There should be those powerful families in the southeast who think like this.

in this case……

Luo's heart skipped a beat.

"Their goal is me!"

Luo understood in confidence that as long as Luo Xin was killed, the matter of opening the sea would be over.The reason why the Japanese pirates publicized the meeting on Lang'er Island was to attract Hu Zongxian's main force to Lang'er Island, leaving Dong'an's troops empty, and then these Japanese pirates would go directly to Hangzhou.At that time, Hangzhou's military strength will be empty, and those pirates will have a great possibility to break through Hangzhou, so that they can not only kill Luo Xin, but also loot Hangzhou.This kind of thing has not happened before. In history, Japanese pirates used false news to lure the Ming Dynasty army away, and then broke through Suzhou, burning, killing and looting in Suzhou.

"Hu Zongxian was fooled!"

Luo Xinteng stood up, his mood became very bad, he knew that he had to stop Hu Zongxian as soon as possible.But, can he stop Hu Zongxian?

It's fine if you can stop it, but what if you can't?
