Mingshi

Chapter 796 Coping
Xu Jie didn't like Luo Xin, Gao Gong alienated Luo Xin, Emperor Jiajing feared Luo Xin, and Luo Xin would be able to retire in Zhan Shifu in the future.

Looking at Luo Xin, Zhang Shijie couldn't help but sigh in his heart, a person who has made such contributions to Daming did not get the reward he deserved, but was left completely idle.Feeling sorry for him, he opened his mouth and said:

"Lord Luo is less than twenty, why should you be disheartened?"

Zhang Shijie also persuaded Luo Xin in a rare way, which means that you are only under 20 years old, and you have a lot of time to wait.

Luo Xin glanced at Zhang Shijie unexpectedly, he did not expect that Zhang Shijie would sincerely persuade him.He sighed and said:
"Although it has only been a few years for Buqi to enter the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, he has gone to war in the south and north, and has painstakingly managed the Shibo Department. Now that the north and the south have settled down, the finances of the Ming Dynasty have also been on the right track. It's time for me to take a good rest. Mr. Zhang , To be honest, I have been really tired in the past few years. Not only physically tired, but also psychologically tired. I have also experienced several assassinations."

Speaking of this, Luo Xin laughed at himself and said: "Look at the officials of the Ming Dynasty today, who has been assassinated? I am really tired, and I still play the qin as a company, drink with flowers, and chat with a few confidants. It is the life that scholars of my generation yearn for the most.”

Zhang Shijie shook his head and said, "No, that kind of life looks beautiful, but in real life, it may not be as beautiful as imagined. It's okay if you want to take a rest, and there is no need to really retreat."

"No official is light!" Luo Xin sighed.

Zhang Shijie shook his head secretly, disapproving of Luo Xin's point of view.Is it really possible to be light without an official?
Without official status, how to protect one's own vital interests?

Zhang Shijie feels that he and Luo Xin have completely different views, so they have no common language at all.So I couldn't bear to continue talking with Luo Xin, pondered for a while and said:

"No, when do you think we will hand over?"

"Handover can be done right away!" Luo Xin nodded immediately and said, "Don't worry about Mr. Zhang. During the period of time in Hangzhou, there are also some contacts, so there is still a balance of nearly 5 taels of silver. Mr. Zhang can send someone immediately Start counting and handing over various departments, Mr. Zhang is new here, I will not let Mr. Zhang fill in the hole."

Seeing Luo Xin's straightforwardness, Zhang Shijie was also very happy in his heart.As a corrupt official, he naturally knows the importance of money. If he really wants the nearly 5 taels of silver in Luo Xin's hands, he will break the rules of corrupt officials.So, immediately opened the mouth and said:

"Living in the capital is not easy. After you arrive in the capital, you will have a lot of money to spend. You should keep the money for yourself."

Of course Luo Xin had to be humble, and he had to be humble several times.In the end, he half pushed and half left the nearly 5 taels of silver, and then immediately ordered his servants to hold a banquet.

Why did Zhang Shijie give up the nearly 5 taels of silver?
The purpose is to have this meal with Luo Xin.

It's not that he lacks this meal, but he wants to inquire about Shibosi at the banquet.After all, he has just arrived here, and he has a black eye on Shibosi.Now that the 5 taels of silver have been given away, everyone will have a few more drinks together, and when he asks, Luo Xin will not be able to refuse.

Sure enough, after drinking for three rounds, Zhang Shijie put down his glass and said seriously: "No, brother, I'm new here, and I need your guidance in some places."

Luo Xin smiled sincerely: "Master Zhang, this is Buqi's duty. Buqi must know everything and say everything."

Looking at Luo Xin's sincere smile, Zhang Shijie felt that Luo Xin was really a good man with a gentleman's demeanor.He sighed in his heart, if it wasn't for Xu Jie, he really wanted to become confidantes with Luo Xin.An resisted the trembling in her heart, with a sincere smile on her face and said:

"No, you know, brother, I have been an official in the capital, and I have never let it go outside. Especially for such a new thing as Shibosi, I really don't understand how to operate it and how to make a profit. Please don't bother me." Instructions."

"Now that the Shipping Department is on the right track, there is nothing difficult." Luo Xin said with a smile: "Now the Shipping Department has detailed procedures, and Daming Maritime Trade also has strict rules and regulations. Mr. Zhang, you only need to supervise them Just follow the rules."

Zhang Shijie's heart moved slightly, and he said with a smirk: "In this way, isn't this a leisurely job?"

Luo Xin thought for a while and said, "It's really a leisurely job now, but it was very difficult at the beginning. Even if Mr. Zhang is in the capital, he should have heard of the difficulties in Hangzhou."

"That's right!" Zhang Shijie nodded, thinking inwardly, "It's not just difficult, it's like being driven to a desperate situation. There were six great families blocking it, there was interference from Song Danian, the prefect of Hangzhou at that time, and Japanese pirates attacked."

Thinking of this, Zhang Shijie couldn't help admiring Luo Xin in his heart. He asked himself, if he was in this situation, he would definitely not have Luo Xin's current achievements, and he might have packed up and returned home long ago.

"However, recently you have heard that I have some difficulties here?" Luo Xin said with a smile.

Zhang Shijie listened and thought about it, and it was true.Now that the Japanese pirates have been pacified, and Luo Xin has made Hu Zongxian honest, not to mention the five great families, the news heard in the capital is all about Luo Xin's wealth, so where is there any negative news?

Immediately he was overjoyed and said: "From this point of view, instead of overcoming obstacles in the southeast, brother, I am here to enjoy the blessing."

"You are blessed, so am I." Luo Xin laughed loudly and said, "I can also get rid of these mundane things and go back to the capital to have a good rest."

"Yes, yes, we are all blessed." Zhang Shijie also laughed.

In this way, the two of them were very happy, so they started talking about some romantic affairs, and drank very happily during the banquet.

While drinking, Zhang Shijie and Luo Xin also showed their feelings, and blurted out through the drunkenness:
"No, the way to be an official is to be as light as dust. My brother advises you. After you return to Beijing, you might as well pay a visit to Mr. Xu."

Luo Xin took a serious look at Zhang Shijie, he really didn't know whether Zhang Shijie's words were sincere or false.Or pass on a message for Xu Jie.However, Luo Xin has his own bottom line. It's not that he doesn't know that being an official should be like the light, but he and Xu Jie really can't get along.

The two people have different ideas of governing the country, and the hatred between him and Xu Jie, not to mention Shilin, is known to all the people in the world.Back then, Xu Jie harmed Lu Tingfang, forced the Lu family to withdraw from the marriage, and threatened Luo Xin with marriage. All these things were made up by the storyteller and told in the teahouse and wine shop for an unknown period of time.At this time, Luo Xin took the initiative to visit Xu Jie, no doubt he was as soft as Xu Jie, so how could Luo Xin gather people with lofty ideals around him in the future?Where does this leave the people of Fuxingshe?
