Chapter 794 Zhang Shijie Arrives
You must know that they are not ordinary common people, they belong to the five great families, let's take Lu Ding as an example, aside from Lu Bing, he also served as a third-rank official.I don't know how many of these five families have been or are now officials in the court. If they really want to fight their lives, let alone Zhang Shijie, even Xu Jie should be a little bit afraid.

not to mention……

There is still Lu Bing in the capital!

correct!

And Luo Xin!

Luo Xin is going back to the capital, Luo Xin has made such a great contribution, he will definitely be promoted, Shibosi and Daming Maritime Trade are Luo Xin's painstaking efforts, so naturally they will not ignore them.With their confidence in Luo Xin, as long as Luo Xin makes a move, everything will be fine.

The southeast side has their five great aristocratic families teaming up, and the capital side has Lu Bing and Luo Xin joining forces. What are they afraid of?What are you afraid of?

"My lord, you won't ignore us, will you?" Lu Ding looked at Luo Xin hopefully.

Luo Xin laughed dumbly and said, "Why don't you care?"

After saying that, he took out the memorial to Emperor Jiajing from his bosom and said, "This is the memorial I wrote to His Majesty. Take a look and see if there is anything to add."

Lu Ding hurriedly took the memorial with both hands, read it seriously, his eyebrows became brighter and brighter, after reading it, he looked at Luo Xin gratefully, and passed the memorial in his hand to the next person.After everyone read it, the memorial returned to Luo Xin's hands. Luo Xin glanced at the five people and said with a smile:
"Do you have anything to add?"

"No!" Lu Ding quickly shook his head and said, "My lord is worthy of being the number one scholar, a great Confucian in the world, with this memorial from your lord, we have nothing to worry about."

"You can't say that!" Luo Xin shook his head seriously: "The pressure on your side will not be small, so you have to prepare for the worst. Your determination cannot be shaken, you must unite, and be careful not to be divided by Zhang Shijie Don't believe in the benefits promised by Zhang Shijie. Once your five great families are split, and Zhang Shijie wins over and drives away one or two families, it will be the turn of the families that are allied with Zhang Shijie. Believe me, there is no limit to greed. And Xu Jie is in the southeast, and Zhang Shijie's task in coming to the southeast is to allow the Xu family to completely control Daming Maritime."

"We understand!" The five people said solemnly: "The five of us swear here, if anyone does something that is not good for Daming Maritime, there will be a thunderbolt."

Lu Ding and others went back, making preparations for Luo Xin's departure and Zhang Shijie's arrival.One letter after another headed for the capital from the southeast.

And in the past few days, Luo Xin has not been idle.Talk to the Escort Bureau, the Chariot and Horse Company, and the secret service agencies respectively, and make arrangements, and then let the Car and Horse Company set up points one by one from the southeast to the capital, and from the capital to the southeast. Now we can guarantee that once there is any news, it will be in the shortest Send it to Luo Xin in the shortest time, and Luo Xin can send it to the desired destination in the shortest time.

After all these arrangements were completed, they anxiously waited for Ding Biao's arrival.Because the imperial court had already issued a notice, one month later, Zhang Shijie would arrive, and Luo Xin would leave his post.He must see Ding Biao within a month and make arrangements for Taiwan affairs before he can leave with peace of mind.Of course, it is best for Ding Biao to arrive before Zhang Shijie arrives, otherwise after Zhang Shijie arrives, according to the rules, he will leave immediately.

"Ding Biao should be coming soon, right?"

The news of the car and horse dealership came every day, sent to Luo Xin, reporting Zhang Shijie's itinerary, and the distance to Hangzhou Mansion was getting closer day by day, but Ding Biao still didn't arrive.

These days, Hu Zongxian is undoubtedly the happiest.The arrival of Zhang Shijie indicates that he and Xu Jie will completely control Southeast. As for Luo Xin...

He has already received the news that after Luo Xin returns to Beijing, he will not be promoted.

"Hehe..." Hu Zongxian's heart was already bursting with joy.

It was estimated that there were still five days before Zhang Shijie arrived in Hangzhou. Ding Biao finally arrived at Hangzhou Mansion, and secretly came to Luo Xin's study.From Ding Biao's report, we learned that Luo Sheng and the others were attacking those small bands of pirates, and they were almost done.And Luo Sheng decided that when they finished integrating those pirates, they would immediately send troops to conquer Ryukyu.

The reason why they went to conquer Ryukyu instead of taking over the 36 islands that belonged to Wang Zhi first was because there were no people on the 36 islands, but Ryukyu was a formed country.What Luo Sheng and the others lack now is people.Their policy is to conquer Ryukyu first, and then the 36 islands that Wang Zhi once occupied will not be so empty.

In fact, the 36 islands originally belonged to the Wa Kingdom, but because the Wa Kingdom is now in the Warring States Period, it was very chaotic, so the king directly occupied it.Now that Island 36 is empty, the forces of the Wa Kingdom will definitely not let Island 36 go, and will send people to occupy it.After they occupy it, Luo Sheng will conquer again, occupying the 36 islands, and then use the 36 islands as a springboard to conquer the entire Wa kingdom.

Ding Biao told Luo Xin about these plans, saying that after all the pirates were subdued, Luo Sheng would personally come to Hangzhou to discuss the matter with Luo Xin.Luo Xin pondered for a moment and said:

"Go back and tell Luo Sheng that you don't need to come to Hangzhou. I'm going back to Beijing."

"My lord is going back to Beijing?" Ding Biao asked in surprise.

"Yeah!" Luo Xin nodded, told him about the matter, and then told him: "Follow Luo Sheng's plan first, to establish a contact station on a small straight-line island between Daming Island and Taiwan, so what's the point?" News, the two sides can get in touch in the shortest possible time."

Ding Biao repeatedly said yes, but he still asked with worry on his face: "My lord, you are not in Hangzhou. I will contact you later. Are you going to the capital?"

"No need!" Luo Xin said calmly: "The person in charge of you now is Wang Cuiqiao. I will let Wang Cuiqiao come over later, and then she will take you to the place and contact person you will contact in the future."

"Yes! My lord."

Luo Xin asked Lu Daqing to find Wang Cuiqiao, and when Wang Cuiqiao arrived, he asked Ding Biao to follow Wang Cuiqiao and leave through the back door.

three days later.

Ding Biao's fleet left Daming with the purchased supplies and headed for Taiwan.And Luo Xin also dealt with everything, just waiting for Zhang Shijie's arrival.

Three days later.

Zhang Shijie came to Hangzhou Mansion, looking at Zhang Shijie's itinerary, Luo Xin shook his head.Zhang Shijie was really in a hurry to grab the money. Only when he got up early and worked late at night could he have his speed.

Zhang Shijie came, no matter what, Luo Xin would open the middle door to greet him, and welcomed Zhang Shijie in. After tea was served, he waved for him to go down, leaving only Luo Xin and Zhang Shijie in the lobby.

"Master Zhang is exhausted from the journey, please drink tea!"
