For example, an ordinary porcelain plate sells for eight fen, and they earn four renminbi after taking the cost.But if you do business directly with the vassal state, you can double sell a porcelain plate for [-] cents, and the cost is still [-] cents. I still earn seven cents and two cents, which is three cents and two cents more than the previous four cents.This is still doubled, what if doubled?

The more Lu Ding thought about it, the more excited he became. If he monopolizes this business, then the Lu family will be in trouble.And at this moment, Luo Xin's voice was heard:

"My lord, do you think you can make money by cooperating with Shibo and doing business in an upright manner?"

"Yes!" Lu Ding nodded vigorously and said, "As long as the pirates are wiped out, it will definitely make a lot of money."

"At that time, it will be a situation where all nations will come to the court, and more and more vassal states will come to us. Boss, do you think the business of the Shibo Division will grow bigger and bigger?"

"Yes, of course." Lu Ding became more and more excited.

"Then do you think your family can manage such a big business?"

"This……"

"Can your Lu family really eat it? Even if you can eat it now, will you be able to eat it in the future?"

Lu Ding's heart trembled. He thought of Lu Bing. If Lu Bing died...

The Lu family has such a large piece of fat in their arms, but loses their backing, that is the disaster of breaking the family!His body broke out in a layer of cold sweat, and the clothes on his back were soaked.

"And..." Luo Xin said calmly: "If you monopolize the entire business, you won't give others a way out, and they will have to think of other ways. What are the other ways?
smuggling!

They would risk their lives to smuggle.

So, apart from you doing business with Shibosi in an upright manner, other people in the southeast are smuggling. How much business do you think Shibosi will have if this continues?How much business will you have?The whole southeast doesn't need to do anything else, it's just busy catching smugglers every day.

Once the smuggling is rampant, the Japanese pirates will surely revive.This southeast is going to be a mess again.When a place is a mess, it is only suitable for smuggling, not for serious business. "

A look of admiration appeared on Lu Ding's face, and he cupped his hands towards Luo Xin and said, "Lord Luo, it's the old man who has made a mistake, what do you say, and what should I do."

Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "Everyone, come together."

Speaking of this, Luo Xin showed a smile on his face and said: "My lord, you must be aware that you entered the gate of the Shibo Department today, and someone went to inform the four great families."

"Yes." Lu Ding nodded slightly.

Luo Xin turned his head to look in the direction of Lu's residence and said, "They should be waiting for you in your residence right now."

A look of embarrassment appeared on Lu Ding's face, thinking in his heart, it seems that he thought about this matter too easily, but also thought about it badly, but how to explain it to the four families when he returned to the mansion?
If he followed his thinking before he came, he naturally didn't need to explain to the four great masters. Not only did he not need to explain, but he would try every means to suppress the four great masters.But now, after hearing Luo Xin's analysis, he knew that he was far behind and couldn't do that.In this way, there must be an explanation with the four great masters, and they cannot make the four great masters hate themselves, so they frowned and thought hard.

"My lord, when you go back later, tell me that you got the news from the capital ahead of time, that His Majesty is very dissatisfied with Dongnan, and I, Luo Xin, cannot impeach you."

Lu Ding's expression became more and more embarrassing, and Luo Xin continued: "So, you come to explore my outlet first. Then you tell you what I just said, about the prospects of the Shibo Division, and then suggest them To make money with the Lu family, I think they may still look forward to the news from the capital, and they may not agree to you. After two days, when the news from the capital comes back, they will regret it and visit you again, asking you to ask me for peace , At that time, they owed you a favor. In this way, although you will not monopolize the entire Shibo business in the future, you will also play a leading role in the southeast business circle, such as establishing a chamber of commerce, and you will be the president of the chamber of commerce, so Earn more than the four of them."

Lu Ding was overjoyed when he heard that, it was Luo Xin cooperating with him in acting.At that time, those four people dare not thank themselves?This is also the basis for laying a network of contacts for yourself.Immediately stood up, bowed deeply to Luo Xin and said:

"Thank you, Lord Luo."

Lu Ding left, Luo Xin stood at the gate of the Shibo Division, looked at Lu Ding's leaving back, turned his gaze to Suzhou, and sighed softly in his heart.

Now Xu Hai, Ye Ma, Xin Wulang and others are still looting around the shore, and Hu Zongxian is still standing still.The resulting situation is that more and more small groups of Japanese pirates have come ashore one after another. Although the number of pirates in each group is not large, they add up to a large number.

The southeast is really getting more and more chaotic!
Luo Xin sighed, and if Hu Zongxian doesn't send troops, the southeast will become more and more chaotic. Such a result will lead to a real rise in prices, and it will be a big trouble at that time.

The reason why he let go of the five great masters so lightly is to reach a cooperative relationship with the five great masters before the southeast is completely chaotic.In this way, everyone is like a grasshopper tied to a thread. With the grain of the five major families, he is naturally not afraid of rising prices in Hangzhou.

"I hope that the four masters can understand current affairs, and I hope that Emperor Jiajing can be more decisive for the sake of money, so that news from the capital can spread to Hangzhou as soon as possible."

Luo Xin turned back and entered the Shibo Department, He Nian and Wang Ziren approached and said, "Master He Xi, the Southeast family has finally come into the hands of your lord."

Luo Xin shook his head, looked around, and said in a low voice: "I don't know how His Majesty will make a decision yet."

When He Nian and Wang Ziren heard this, worries appeared on their faces.Luo Xin said with a smile: "Don't worry too much, based on what I know about His Majesty, he should support us."

Besides, when Lu Ding returned to his mansion, he just got out of the car when he saw his butler rushing to him, and said in a low voice:

"Master, the heads of the four families are waiting for you in the lobby now."

Lu Ding nodded slightly, without any change on his face, and walked towards the door.The housekeeper of the Lu family admired him deeply.

"The master is the master. Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his face remained unchanged. Are you talking about the master?"

But he didn't know that at this time his family's master Lu Ding was admiring Luo Xin in his heart, he had already predicted everything, and all the methods were thought out for him, otherwise he would have been caught off guard.I couldn't help sighing to Luo Xin in my heart:
"My lord is just like a lord, strategizing and winning thousands of miles is what Lord Luo is talking about."

Lu Ding came to the lobby uneasy, and as soon as he entered the door, he bowed his hands to the four masters with a happy face and said:

"Four brothers, I've been waiting for a long time."

"My lord."

The four Patriarchs quickly stood up from their chairs and returned their salutes to Lu Ding.The five people sat down again as guests and hosts, and the maids replaced them with new tea.The head of the Cui family cupped his hands towards Lu Ding and said:
"Boss, what is this?"

Lu Ding laughed and said: "The four brothers don't need to test the old man. The old man doesn't believe that you don't know where I went? And I went there openly, so I didn't want to hide it from you."

Embarrassment appeared on the faces of the four masters, but their hearts were relieved.Since Lu Ding can say this, it means that Lu Ding has not betrayed them, but why did Lu Ding go to Shibosi?
Now they are fighting fiercely with Luo Xin, it can be said that they will never die, what is Lu Ding going to Shibo Department for?
Suddenly the hearts of the four of them moved, could it be that Lu Ding first received the news from the capital, knew that Luo Xin was going to be unlucky, and went to the Shibo Department to ridicule Luo Xin?

Thinking of this, the four people were overjoyed, and the Patriarch of the Wang Family asked with a smile on his face:
"Boss, have you received news from the capital?"

Lu Ding glanced at him unexpectedly, and said in his heart: "This old boy has a quick mind."

"Yeah!" Lu Ding nodded.

Hearing that Lu Ding nodded in recognition, the four of them were overjoyed.The head of the Cui family said excitedly:

"Is it because our impeachment succeeded, His Majesty is going to punish Luo Xin? You always go to the Shibo Department to see Luo Xin's excitement?"

Several other Patriarchs also laughed and said: "My lord, it's not right for you to do this. How can you watch Luo Xin's jokes alone? Patronizing you to watch it happily, but forget about us? You should bring us together Go, let's all watch how lively it is?"

"Hahaha..." The four masters laughed heartily together.

Lu Ding looked at the four of them speechlessly, and suddenly thought in his heart, if his family didn't have Lu Bing in the capital, without Lu Bing seeing things so clearly, so far-sighted, I'm afraid I would be like them now, right?Then just wait for Luo Xin's thunderbolt method, and wait for the family to be destroyed, right?
The laughter of the four masters gradually stopped, because when they saw Lu Dingzheng looking at them with strange expressions, something bad arose in their hearts, and they asked a little nervously:
"Boss, what is this?"

"Alas..." Lu Ding sighed and said, "Have you received the reply from the capital?"

"No!" The four masters all shook their heads and said: "How can it be so fast, the fastest will be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, if it is later, it will take three to five days."

Lu Ding sighed again and said, "None of you have received a reply. We wrote to the capital together. How could I receive a reply in advance?"

"Boss, you..." These four people panicked: "Didn't you just say that you received a letter from the capital?"

"I received a letter from the capital, but it was not a reply to the letter I wrote. When my brother wrote that letter, my letter should not have arrived in the capital."

"The governor... wrote you a letter in advance?" The four masters felt a little uneasy in their hearts.

"En!" Lu Ding nodded, and then the expression on his face became sad, frustrated, and even a little scared.

Seeing the expression on Lu Ding's face, the hearts of the four masters were completely flustered.The head of the Cui family swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and asked with difficulty:
"My lord, what did the governor say?"

Lu Ding was already fully involved in the drama at this time, in fact it was really easy for him to enter the drama, when he thought of what Lu Bing said in his heart, he shuddered.Said dryly:

"Shen Ling, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, had already rushed to the capital day and night before we wrote the letter to the capital, and reported what happened here to my brother."

"What did the governor say?" The four masters all looked at Lu Ding eagerly.

"My brother said we were looking for our own death."

"what?"

The four opened their mouths wide and looked at Lu Ding in shock.Lu Ding lowered his voice and said:

"My brother said, fortunately, Luo Xin was very powerful, so he decisively killed the Lu family, and then used the method of fishing in the dry lake to kill the Japanese pirates. Otherwise, there would probably be no six great families in the southeast."

"How come?" The four masters were dumbfounded.

"It's our thinking!" Lu Ding sighed and said, "Brother said, if Luo Xin hadn't decisively killed Lu's family at the beginning, got the 30 shi of grain to stabilize the grain price, and didn't use the way of drying up the lake to fish Thousands of Japanese pirates were killed, and the Japanese pirates entered Hangzhou. There are no eggs under the cover of the nest. Do you think the Japanese pirates under the madness will really let us go? I am afraid that when they leave Hangzhou, our six aristocratic families have become ruins."

Everyone was stunned, but they still felt a little dissatisfied. They thought that they had a relationship with the Japanese pirates, and the Japanese pirates would not kill them if they wanted to use them in the future.Seeing their expressions, Lu Ding shook his head, sighed and said:

"A robber will always be a robber, never trust a robber."

Everyone hesitated this time, and they also knew that robbers are robbers, and at this time they heard Lu Ding say:

"Even if the Japanese pirates finally let us go, we cannot escape the fate of family ruin."

"Why?" The four masters didn't know why.

Lu Ding sighed, he felt that the place where he sighed the most today was not for the four great families, but for the decision he had made before.

"Once the city of Hangzhou is broken, such a major event will definitely shake the government and the public, and His Majesty will be furious. By then, will we be able to bear His Majesty's anger?"

This time, the faces of the four masters changed. After a while, the head of the Cui family said in a condensed voice: "My lord, we have already gone to the capital. I am afraid that Luo Xin has already been impeached by this time. I don't know what the result will be? Maybe your majesty Luo Xin will be punished, after all no one can prove that the thousands of people Luo Xin killed were Japanese pirates."

"No!" Lu Ding shook his head and said, "Our Lu family will not impeach Luo Xin."

"My lord, you didn't write a letter?"

Lu Ding smiled wryly and said, "How could I not have written it? It's just that when the letter arrived at my brother's place, my brother withheld it. He will not impeach Luo Xin. And in my brother's opinion, the impeachment of Luo Xin will definitely not happen. Of."

The faces of the four masters changed again, the room became silent, the atmosphere became oppressive, and the air seemed to have gravity, making them feel suffocated.However, they still had luck in their hearts, and they always felt that they might not be able to impeach Luo Xin.Their expressions were also seen in Lu Ding's eyes, and he couldn't help shaking his head in his heart and secretly said:

"A bunch of idiots."

But then I thought that I was not as stupid as them before?A look of frustration appeared on his face.
