Mingshi

Chapter 692
After a while, the Patriarch of the Cui family said in a concentrated voice: "Master, are you going to the Shibo Department today?"

Lu Ding waved his hand and said, "I wanted to talk to you at first, but seeing your expressions, I still have illusions about the impeachment of Luo Xin in the capital. I'd better not talk about it, you go back first, and wait for these two days After the letter from the capital comes back, after you have read the letter, come to me again, and I will tell you again. Don't worry, I will not leave the gate these two days, and I will wait for you at home."

"My lord..."

"see a visitor out!"

Lu Ding yelled to the outside, and the butler walked in. The four masters looked at each other, and all left Lu's residence uneasy.

The next evening.

The four masters hurried to the Lu residence again, everyone's faces were full of panic, they finally received a reply from the capital, and they also knew the result of the impeachment.Luo Xin was unscathed, so what they faced was probably Luo Xin's crazy revenge.

What kind of crazy revenge?
Family copying and extermination!
Isn't the Lu family just ransacked and exterminated?Will Luo Xin let the four of them go?

At this time they remembered that if Luo Xin started to be ruthless, they would be fish on the chopping board.They couldn't stay any longer, and came to Lu's residence as soon as they received the letter from the capital.

Lu Ding smiled and watched the four masters sitting in front of him uneasily. Seeing Lu Ding's smiling face, the four masters felt certain in their hearts, but they were still a little anxious.
"My lord, there's a letter from the capital. Sure enough, Luo Xin can't be impeached. My lord, let's get to the bottom of it. The last time you saw Lord Luo, what did Lord Luo say?"

At this time, they didn't directly address Luo Xin by his name, but Master Luo.Lu Ding lowered his hands with a smile, and the four masters fell silent. Lu Ding was very satisfied with his current state, and said with a smile:

"Everyone, don't be impatient. I received a letter from my brother before, so I rushed to Shibosi immediately, but tested Master Luo's tone. After a long talk with Master Luo, I realized that I was so short-sighted. Master Luo did not We didn't mean to harm us, but we pushed Lord Luo into a desperate situation. To be honest, we have brought on such a result, which is what we asked for. If we had a good talk with Lord Luo earlier, we would have saved a lot of money. Money is waiting for us to earn."

Suspicion appeared in the eyes of the four masters and said: "Listen to Mr. Luo, can we make money? Can we make more money than smuggling?"

"Yes!" Lu Ding nodded firmly.

The eyes of the four masters suddenly burst into flames, and they urged one by one: "My lord, tell me quickly."

"Listen to me slowly..."

Lu Ding explained Luo Xin's plan in detail. When he finished speaking, the four masters were all dumbfounded. After a while, the master of the Wang family patted the armrest of the chair and said:

"Haven't we been bullied by Japanese pirates all these years? We only made some small money, and the big money was made by those Japanese pirates?"

Lu Ding said lightly: "Even if we knew at that time that our things could be multiplied a hundred times and a thousand times in the feudal kingdom? Can we fight against the monopoly of Japanese pirates?"

Speaking of this, he sneered and said, "It's not that I didn't think about raising the price before, but what about you? If I raise the price here, you will prepare more supplies to sell to the Japanese pirates and rob me of Lu's house." financial resources."

The four masters all looked awkward, and Lu Ding said angrily: "Our hearts are not in harmony at all, and we can't know exactly what the exact price will be, and we can't hold back. The final result is only Bullied by pirates.

but……

Mr. Luo is different, and the Shibo Division is different.

We cooperate with Shibo Division and hand over the pricing power to Shibo Division.At that time, as long as Shibosi does not sell them, those Japanese pirates will not be able to buy a single plate.If someone dares to smuggle with Japanese pirates, Master Luo will definitely crack down on them. At that time, those smugglers will not only lose their money and goods, but also lose their heads.In this way, the Japanese pirates lost their smuggling channels and had to do business with Master Luo, and the initiative was in the hands of Master Luo.

All we have to do is to obey Master Luo. "

The Patriarch of the Cui family said with some concern: "Will Master Luo swallow up our family property in the future in the capacity of the government? You must know that doing business with the government will probably end badly."

Lu Ding shook his head and said, "Lord Luo has lofty aspirations, he is not that kind of person."

"We also believe that Master Luo is not that kind of person!" The Patriarch of the Wang family said, "It was alright when Master Luo was here, but Lord Luo will definitely be promoted, right? Maybe he will be a cabinet boss in the future. Once he leaves the Department of Shipping, he will change With the greed of those officials, what shall we do then?"

Hearing this, Lu Ding also frowned, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried.In the future, once Lu Bing dies and Luo Xin returns to Beijing, it's hard to say.Lu Ding pondered for a while and said:

"Tell me first, how do you decide now?"

"Of course it is to cooperate with Master Luo!" The four masters said in unison.

"Okay!" Lu Ding stood up and said, "In this case, let's visit Master Luo together. We can express our worries and thoughts, and let Master Luo give us an idea."

"Is this okay?" The four masters hesitated and said, "Will Lord Luo be angry?"

Lu Ding sneered and said, "Why have you become so timid now? Where did you have the courage to fight against Master Luo back then?"

The faces of the four masters all showed wry smiles and said: "Isn't this being frightened by Mr. Luo?"

"Don't worry." Lu Ding said with a smile: "Lord Luo is not a small-hearted person, we will go now."

"it is good!"

The faces of the four masters also showed determination, and the five of them left Lu's residence together, and came to Shibosi in a sedan chair.

City ship division.

Qin held a letter in both hands, and Shen Ling sat across from her.At this time, Shen Ling's expression was already very respectful. Although he didn't know the content of the letter from the governor to Luo Xin, but the governor wrote letters to Luo Xin so frequently, it could be seen that the governor attached great importance to Luo Xin.

Moreover……

Now that Shen Ling has decided to follow Luo Xin, he naturally has to put on an attitude of being a younger brother.He lowered his head slightly, but still secretly checked Luo Xin's expression, trying to analyze the contents of the Governor's letter through the change of Luo Xin's expression.

but……

Luo Xin's expression was really too calm, what was his expression when he opened the letter, and what is his expression now.But Luo Xin was very happy in his heart.The joy comes from two aspects.

The first aspect is that the uncle and his family are about to go to Hangzhou. You must know that Luo Ye is the eldest son of the Luo family. It is undeniable that he is skilled in martial arts, especially when he learned the Luo family's stunt to return the carbine.With Luo Ye going to Taiwan Island to help Luo Sheng, Taiwan Island will be established faster.Moreover, the eldest aunt and cousin sister-in-law also came, which was also a stabilizing factor for Luo Sheng.

The second aspect is Lu Bing's letter. Luo Xin did not expect that after his uncle resigned, Jin Yiwei was still under surveillance.Now that Lu Bing sent a letter to inform Luo Xin, it proves that Lu Bing will suppress this matter, as long as Lu Bing suppresses this matter, no one will know.Moreover, through this incident, Lu Bing was showing his attitude, showing his attitude of forming an alliance with Luo Xin, which naturally made Luo Xin happy.

Putting the letter away, he said to Shen Ling with a smile, "Brother Shen, I'm sorry to trouble you."

"No trouble, it should be. If my lord has nothing else to do, I will take my leave."

"Well, I'll see you off!"

"Lord stay!"

Luo Xin still sent Shen Ling to the door of the second hall, and with Shen Ling's insistence, he stopped and turned back to the study.

Shen Ling walked out of the gate, and as soon as he went down the steps, he saw a carriage parked at the door, Lu Ding and the other heads of the five great families got out of the car, and the heads of the five great families also saw Shen Ling, Lu Ding was fine, then The Patriarchs of the Four Great Aristocratic Families couldn't help being startled, and secretly said in their hearts:

"I didn't expect Luo Xin to settle even Jin Yiwei."

Shen Ling just nodded slightly towards the Patriarchs of the five great families, and then rode away.The patriarchs of the five great families looked at each other, walked more cautiously to the gate, and Lu Ding cupped his hands towards the yamen servant in front of the gate and said:
"I have to report to Master Luo, Lu Ding is here to visit."

The Lu family is still very powerful in the southeast. Although the yamen servant knew that his lord was fighting fiercely with the six major families in the southeast, he didn't dare to be contemptuous, and quickly replied:
"My lord, please wait a moment."

After the words fell, he hurriedly ran towards the inside.At this time, Luo Xin had just returned to the study and put away Lu Bing's letter.When he heard the report that Lu Ding and other heads of the four families came to visit, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.Walk out of the study and walk towards the door.

Walking out of the gate, they saw Lu Ding and other five family heads standing on the steps in an orderly manner. Seeing Luo Xin walking out, they hurriedly greeted Luo Xin together, and saluted:

"Meet your lord."

"You are welcome, let's talk inside, please!"

"Sir, please!"

Everyone came to the second hall, and the guests and hosts were seated separately. Outside the second hall, there were yamen servants and guards, and idlers were not allowed to enter.Luo Xin called He Nian and Wang Ziren in, and Lu Daqing brought tea.At this time, the second hall fell silent.

Luo Xin didn't speak, just drank tea silently, while Lu Ding sat there, he kept making eye contact with the four Patriarchs, which meant that we offended Luo Xin before, but I have already apologized, you guys What are you still stretching out?Do you really think that Luo Xin dare not kill you?
The four Patriarchs thought of Luo Xin's killing and cruelty, they couldn't help shaking their hearts, they couldn't help but stood up, bowed to Luo Xin and said:

"My lord, when I am convicted, please give us a chance."

Luo Xin was still silently drinking tea with his head bowed, while the four masters kept bending their waists and dared not get up.About five or six breaths later, Luo Xin raised his head slightly, and blinked at Lu Ding. Lu Ding immediately understood what Luo Xin meant. He was asking him to stand up and intercede for the four masters, and then Luo Xin betrayed him. Give him face and let the four masters take charge of his affection.This made Lu Ding very grateful, and he showed a grateful look to Luo Xin, then stood up, bent down to Luo Xin and said:

"My lord, your prime minister can pull a boat in your belly. You have forgiven me, so forgive them. I swear here that from now on, I will follow my lord's lead."

Hearing what Lu Ding said, the four masters were very moved. At the same time, they also heard that Lu Ding asked them to express their determination to Luo Xin, so they immediately said:

"Please forgive me, my lord. I will definitely follow my lord's lead in the future."

A smile appeared on Luo Xin's face, and he put the teacup on the table and said, "What is this for? Let's sit down and talk about it. We need everyone's efforts in the future."

"Yes, yes! Thank you, my lord!"

All five of them thanked each other repeatedly, and then sat down in a proper manner.Then the four masters looked at Lu Ding.Luo Xin's silence just now frightened them, how dare they speak now?They all looked at Lu Ding with begging eyes, hoping that Lu Ding could stand up and speak.

Lu Ding is very comfortable now, and at the same time, he is extremely grateful to Luo Xin in his heart. Looking at Luo Xin, his face showed a flattering look and said:

"My lord, do you think you have any orders for us to do?"

Luo Xin smiled and said: "Let's start the workshop first, so that the mechanic's mood can be calmed down."

"Yes!" The faces of the five people turned red.

"The rest of the things you should still do according to the past regulations. When the Shibo Division is about to open, I will invite you, as well as businessmen from the entire southeast, to discuss the regulations together."

"Yes!"

The five masters nodded again, but Lu Ding still did not sit down.Luo Xin looked at Lu Ding and said:
"My lord, do you have any suggestions?"

"Don't dare, dare not!" Lu Bing repeatedly said not dare.

Luo Xin smiled and said: "From now on, we will be companions on the same boat, and you all know more about business than me. If you have any suggestions, you must speak up."

A look of hesitation appeared on Lu Ding's face. Having seen Luo Xin's cruelty, Lu Ding was also cautious in front of Luo Xin, for fear of offending Luo Xin again, he couldn't help but look towards the four masters.The four masters all looked at him expectantly.Seeing Lu Ding's hesitant expression, Luo Xin smiled and said:

"Boss, let's talk, even if we have differences, it's for the sake of doing business better, and we can seek common ground while reserving differences."

Seeing the expectant eyes of the four masters, and hearing Luo Xin's sincerity, Lu Ding gritted his teeth and said:

"My lord, when you were in the Shibo Division, we did what you said. We believed in you. However, you will always be promoted. Living in the southeast corner is not the place for you to display your ambitions. The capital is where you can display your talents. When you go to the capital, we people are afraid that the government will eventually take our property."

Luo Xin smiled, motioned Lu Ding to sit down, and then said: "I have already thought of this, to be honest, you can't trust the government, and neither can I."
