Ok!

Even if Xu Jie trusted Lu Bing and joined forces with Lu Bing to carve up the Shibo Division, would Lu Bing dare to entrust his descendants to Xu Jie?
Even if he dared, would Xu Jie take care of him afterwards?

Therefore, Lu Bing is bound to continue to form an alliance with Luo Xin, which gives Luo Xin more confidence.As long as Lu Bing can contain Xu Jie, Daming Maritime Trade Company has a great possibility to persevere and fight against Zhang Shijie.

Therefore, this aspect of Lu Bing is very important, and of course the other four major families are also very important, and they must be allowed to mobilize all their forces to fight against Xu Jie.

However, this alone is not enough.

The support of Emperor Jiajing must be won.Only the support of Emperor Jiajing can make a final decision.

Luo Xin returned to the study, picked up the pen, and wrote the memorial while thinking.He conducted a thorough analysis of the relationship between Shibosi and Daming Maritime Trade. In the memorial, he made no secret of the greed of the Shilin family and the corruption of the officialdom.To put it bluntly, if Daming's sea trade is completely handed over to the government, it will be like Daming's land. It won't take long for [-]% of the profits to be divided up by the Shilin family and corrupt officials, and Daming's finances will be paralyzed again.

What is the problem with the land?
Farmers have no land to grow, so what will be the result of those Ming merchants and feudal merchants after Shibosi is divided up in the future?
No money to make!
What should I do if I have no money to make?
Smuggling!
Then... Shibosi became completely empty-handed. Daming would never want to earn a fortune from Shibosi again, and at that time it would be impossible to get back on track, because no one would trust the government, even if the It was useless for him to send Luo Xin back.

In short, Luo Xin wrote this memorial very straightforwardly, directly, and nakedly, citing extensively, and revised it three times before putting down the pen.Looking up, he found Lu Daqing standing in front of him.

"Daqing! What's the matter?"

"Master Hou, the heads of the five great families are here."

"How long have you been here?"

"It's been an hour and a half."

"Why didn't you call me?" Luo Xin frowned slightly.

"The little one knocked on the door, but Master Hou didn't answer, so the little one came in boldly, but saw Master Hou thinking about something, so he didn't bother."

"Ok!"

Luo Xin nodded, put away the memorial, then got up and walked towards the second hall.When they came to the second hall, they saw Lu Ding and five people sitting there with worried faces. When they saw Luo Xin walking in, they all got up and saluted:
"I've seen adults."

"Sit down!" After Luo Xin asked everyone to sit down, his eyes swept over the crowd, and finally landed on Lu Ding's face and said: "Lu Weng should know, right?"

"Understood!" Lu Ding nodded worriedly, "Everyone knows that your lord is going back to Beijing for promotion."

"Gaosheng can't be talked about, I just don't worry about it here."

"We don't worry about it!" Lu Ding said with a mournful face: "You, Xu Jie, are corrupt officials just like Yan Song. The people in the capital don't know, don't we know? We live next to Xu's mansion, look at them How rich is the family? There are nearly 30 mu of fertile land alone. Xu Jie is an official, and his family only has a few tens of mu of fertile land. How long does it take? With his salary?

Zhang Shijie came to Hangzhou, he must have brought Xu Jie's mission, my lord, what shall we do?You give an idea. "

"Yes, my lord, you have an idea!" The other four people also said in unison.

"Don't panic!" Luo Xin said with a smile: "The Shibo Department relies on Daming Maritime Trade, and the composition of Daming Maritime Trade is well known to everyone. What the government says doesn't matter, and everyone needs to agree."

"We know that!" Lu Ding said with a bitter face, "But what if Zhang Shijie is unreasonable? He is an official, and we are citizens."

"You need to fight for it." Luo Xin said in a calm voice: "This is your money, and Zhang Shijie is here to snatch your money. Don't hold the idea of ​​giving Zhang Shijie a profit. If you dare to let him take a [-]% profit, Zhang Shijie dares to snatch you [-]% profit. Therefore, you must chop off Zhang Shijie's claws when he stretches out his claws for the first time. Even if you can't chop off his claws, you must chop him painfully.

Let's mobilize the forces behind you, and let the officials in your clan keep an eye on this place, ready to impeach Zhang Shijie at all times.Especially Lu Weng, the role of Governor Lu at this time is obvious. "

"But..." A wry smile appeared on Lu Ding's face: "My lord, didn't we use all our strength back then? But it wasn't because you integrated Southeast? We couldn't beat the government."

The other four Patriarchs had the same expressions, but Luo Xin shook his head and said, "This time is not that time, the situation is already different."

"What is the difference?"

The five people all looked at Luo Xin. In fact, they had already obtained huge benefits from Daming Maritime Trade. They were willing to work hard to let them give up the benefits. They were just worried, even if they worked hard, would they be able to beat Zhang Shijie? .

"First of all, you have to be clear. When I came to the southeast, it was the general trend. The general trend was that His Majesty wanted to open a shipping department and use the sea trade to solve Ming's finances. Therefore, I received His Majesty's full support.

Therefore, I have His Majesty's decree to kill officials below the third rank.Excuse me, does Zhang Zhijie have it? "

"No!" The eyes of Lu Ding's five people lit up.

"So, I have Qi Jiguang's assistance. However, according to the information I got, His Majesty did not put Qi Jiguang under Zhang Shijie's command. After I leave, Qi Jiguang will return to Hu Zongxian's management.

So, when you opposed me at that time, you were going against the trend. I had Qi Jiguang's army and the imperial decree. I dared to kill the officials who were constantly mobilized, and I dared to destroy the whole family of Lu's family.And does Zhang Shijie dare?

He doesn't have an imperial decree in his hands, and he doesn't have an army. Even if he dares, he doesn't have the ability.

At that time, you were hindering His Majesty from making money.But now you are helping His Majesty make money, Zhang Shijie wants to steal money from His Majesty, the situation is completely different.

At that time, even Governor Lu did not dare to go against the trend, so he chose to support me.However, it is different now, Zhang Shijie has no army in his hands, let alone an imperial decree, it is as if his hands and feet are bound, and you have a lot to do. "

The eyes of the five people in Lu Ding released a light of excitement.

Yes!

Back then, if Luo Xin had no army or imperial decree, would he have dared to kill court officials on the spot?Would he dare to kill Lu's family all of a sudden?
Even Luo Xin couldn't, let alone Zhang Shijie?

"And..." Luo Xin said indifferently: "Zhang Shijie doesn't have the wisdom and ability of this official."

For this point, the five people in Lu Ding agreed very much.They were too clear about Luo Xin's wisdom and ability, and they admired him so much.For a person who is not as intelligent and capable as Luo Xin, and there is no army, let alone an imperial decree, do they have to be so afraid?
