Mingshi

Chapter 889

In fact, it was already time for dinner, several chefs from Luo Mansion worked together, and soon the food and drinks were served.Luo Xin greeted everyone to sit down, raised his glass and said:
"Colleagues, now we don't talk about official business, just eat and drink, and talk about the friendship of colleagues. After eating and drinking, we will talk in detail."

"Follow your orders."

Everyone was really hungry, and each of them was able to eat without saying a word. Under such circumstances, they finished their meal in less than two quarters of an hour.Luo Xin led the crowd back to the lobby, where the guests and hosts were seated, and some maids served tea, and when the maids left, Lu Daqing closed the door and guarded the outside.

Luo Xin sat on the main seat, silent, frowning tightly, looking like trying to find a way.Those dozens of officials also held their breath, looking at Luo Xin expectantly.

About a quarter of an hour passed, when the atmosphere was so depressing that the dozens of officials felt heavy, Luo Xin finally loosened his brows and said in a concentrated voice:
"Everyone, you have been in Zhan's Mansion all these years, and you have so much free time, why don't you do some business by yourself?"

There was a wry smile on everyone's face and said: "My lord, we are not suitable for business at all. Besides, none of us are from the capital, our family is not in the capital, and we are all from poor families, otherwise we would not have been sent to Zhan So, as a poor family, we have no money and no background, how can we do business? So, we are all outside helping to write something, or doing calculations, or being teachers for others, and so on. Those who are stared at by the bureaucrats will naturally lose these jobs."

"That won't work." Luo Xin shook his head and said, "We have to have our own business, so that we can live the life of a scholar!"

Everyone's eyes lit up, what was Luo Xin's earliest name?
Great Confucianism!

What was the later name?
God of war!

What's your last name?
God of wealth!

Yes, the God of Wealth!
Ever since Luo Xin came to run the Shibo Division, he has been crowned the God of Wealth.And it's a real name, without any falsehood, what is it if it's not the God of Wealth that pulls Daming Finance back from the brink?
Now that the God of Wealth is going to take them to do business together, this kind of pie-in-the-sky thing fell on their heads, and for a moment, they were so happy that they almost fainted.

"It's all up to the adults!" Dozens of people stood up with a "hula" and looked at Luo Xin excitedly.

Luo Xin waved his hand and told them to sit down.Then he glanced at the crowd and said: "What you said just now is not wrong, if you want to do business in the capital, you need not only money, but also background.

Now let's talk about the issue of money first. We each contribute money to start a business, and I can decide what kind of business it is.I don't know if my colleagues can trust me. "

"Trust it, trust it. If you can't trust adults, there is no one in this world who is trustworthy."

"Okay! If that's the case, let's talk about how much money you can contribute one by one, and then we will divide the shares according to the amount of money paid. I estimated that this business needs about 1 taels of silver. Let's start by 1 taels of silver count."

"Twelve thousand taels..."

Everyone swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at each other.Then one by one stammered out the amount of money they could take out. These people really didn't hide anything. Even after taking out the money, they could only eat chaff, but they all knew that this was An opportunity, an opportunity to make money with wealth, so they all showed their wealth.

but……

They don't have much money!

When a person revealed his wealth, Luo Xin couldn't help but smile bitterly. The person who had the most money could only give 200 taels, and the least one could only give 100 taels.More than 5000 officials combined, and they only took out less than 150 taels.In the end, Luo Xin simply took [-]% of the share, and evenly distributed the remaining [-]% to the twenty or so officials, asking everyone to contribute [-] taels of silver. When you wait for the dividend, deduct it.

After the shares were divided, everyone looked at Luo Xin with bright eyes, expecting Luo Xin to say what kind of business he would do.At this time, Luo Xin no longer hid himself, and simply said:

"I plan to open a bookstore in each of the four regions of the capital, east, west, north, and south."

"bookstore?"

Everyone was stunned, the business of the bookstore is good, at least they won't lose their status.Selling books is also a noble profession.It's just that there are already many bookstores in the capital, can opening a bookstore make money?
Moreover, those who opened bookstores in the capital all have backgrounds behind them, can they just keep running like this?
Everyone looked at each other, Ma Qingshan had no choice but to stand up again, cupped his hands and said:

"My lord, the money for our business is settled now, but as you said just now, my lord, if you want to do business in the capital, you need a background. As far as I know, those bookstores in the capital are people with backgrounds."

Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "The background you thought of is not based at all. The real threat comes from Xu Jie."

"Xu Jie?" Everyone was taken aback.

Luo Xin said with a smile: "When we first opened the bookstore, our identities might not be exposed. But as you all stayed in Zhan Shifu honestly and enjoyed your life, then In addition, after our bookstore becomes popular, there will definitely be people who are interested in investigating our bookstore's footsteps, so in the end we people can't hide it. Xu Jie has put in so much effort just to deal with me. How can we let the bookstore open? go down?"

"Then... what should we do?" There was panic on the faces of everyone.

Xu Jie!
To them, that's the behemoth.

"It's nothing more than two ways!" Luo Xin said lightly: "One is fair competition, and the other is using secret means. Therefore, I am not going to hide our identities. I will find a man from the government to run the bookstore, and then tell the public Claiming that they are all friends of my Luo Xin, whoever dares to make trouble secretly, I, Luo Xin, will kill him and destroy his house."

Everyone's face twitched involuntarily, but then they thought, Luo Xin is not just the left concubine of Zhan Shifu, he is still Marquis Wu, the god of war.This is the nature of soldiers. If you offend me, I will take someone to destroy your house. What can you do?
If such a matter is placed on someone else, it will be inseparable from the result of being dismissed from office, and Xu Jie will even take a copy of it and send Luo Xin to heaven.

However, Luo Xin is different!

Now Luo Xin's conversation with Emperor Jiajing in Yuxi Palace has spread all over the capital, everyone knows that Luo Xin wants to resign and return to his hometown, but Emperor Jiajing disagrees.Everyone knew in their hearts that as long as Luo Xin didn't rebel, he would smash the house of some important minister...

Do not!
Even if Xu Jie's family was smashed, Emperor Jiajing would at most call Luo Xin over and reprimand him, but he would not punish Luo Xin.
