Mingshi

Chapter 901 Am I that foolish?

"I didn't!" Luo Xin spread his hands.

"The problem now is not whether you have it, but His Majesty suspects that you have it. This is an extremely unfavorable situation for you. Your Majesty was afraid of you in the first place. Through this period of time, your low profile, and the long-term relationship between you and His Majesty. Talking about it has made His Majesty less afraid of you, but now His Majesty is even more afraid of you, what do you think should be done?"

"What does Eunuch Huang mean?"

"You still don't want to open those four businesses. You said that you kept a low profile, why did you suddenly start making troubles again?"

"Isn't this forced by Xu Jie?" Luo Xin said lightly: "Xu Jie read a copy of me in front of His Majesty, and then His Majesty ordered Xu Jie to send officials to watch Zhan Shifu, as long as the people from Zhan Shifu are late If I leave early, I will be fined, and after three times, my one-month salary will be fined. Isn't this forcing those officials in the Zhan Shifu to isolate me?
Who are those people in Zhan Shifu?

They are all broken pots and broken people, and they are all barefoot people who are not afraid of wearing shoes.They dare not offend Xu Jie, because Xu Jie can fine their salaries, but they dare to offend me.

At this time, who doesn't know that Xu Jie is coming for me?
As long as I'm blown away, they can live a life that no one cares about before.So how can I have a peaceful and low-key life?I must become a big joke of the whole capital.

Therefore, I have to solve the problems of food, clothing, housing and transportation for my gang.It requires money, but I can't support them for nothing. Only by tying them to a business can they respect me, because I control their basic necessities. "

"But..." Huang Jin said with a sad face, "You should stop the business first."

"No!" Luo Xin shook his head decisively: "If I stop at this time, wouldn't it mean that I am afraid? Admitting that I have been corrupt and accepting bribes in the southeast?"

"Then what should we do?" Huang Jin was already a little confused.

Luo Xin thought for a moment and said: "Zhang Shijie flickered in front of His Majesty first, muddied the water, and dragged me into the water. It can be said that he has succeeded. Because at least His Majesty did not put him in prison, but let him Go home. This is to muddy the water. And now His Majesty starts to suspect me, which is to drag me into the water. Now spread rumors everywhere, and further persecute me. Hehe..."

Luo Xin raised his eyebrows and said: "Since Xu Jie is going to fight, let's fight once. It seems that I have kept a low profile for too long, and they have already regarded me as a soft persimmon."

"What are you... going to do?"

"I'm going to do business with a lot of fanfare."

"This...how is it possible?"

"Why not?" Luo Xin said with a smile, "Since Zhang Shijie can fool His Majesty, so can I. And even though His Majesty fears me now, he has no intention of killing me. If I retreat now, Your Majesty will think that I am There is really a conspiracy, but if I make a big fanfare, His Majesty will hesitate, I am completely muddying the water."

"But...if His Majesty summons you, how will you respond?"

A look of pride appeared on Luo Xin's face and he said: "How can I, Luo Xin, be called the God of Wealth? Do I need to be corrupt if I want to make some money? I will have my own response when the time comes."

"Then... what about the rumors all over the capital?"

"Rumors! It's nothing more than a kind of public opinion, leading the public opinion. Xu Jie may not be comparable to me."

"Dangdangdang..." There was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Luo Xin said softly.

As soon as the door opened, Lu Daqing walked in, Luo Xin smiled and said, "Talk to Eunuch Huang."

"Yes." Lu Daqing lowered his voice and said, "Now the public opinion in the capital has been divided into two types, one is to attack Lord Hou, and the other is to defend Lord Hou. Those who attack Lord Hou are nothing more than arresting Lord Hou The matter of opening four stores. Another kind of public opinion is speaking for Lord Hou. Lord Hou is known as the God of Wealth of the Ming Dynasty. He naturally has a way to make money. There is no need for corruption and bribery. They raised two points. They proposed There are two points, one is the soap produced by our house, and the other is the wine produced, just these two businesses are enough to earn four stores. Therefore, the public opinion to defend Lord Hou has the upper hand now."

Luo Xin shrugged his shoulders towards Eunuch Huang and said, "The common people follow blindly, as long as they know how to guide public opinion, that's not a problem."

"You are walking on the edge of a cliff." Huang Jinning said.

Luo Xin laughed at himself and said, "When will I not walk on the edge of a cliff?"

Huang Jin was taken aback for a moment, and then he couldn't help but also smiled wryly. He knew Luo Xin's experience very well. From the beginning of Luo Xin's scientific research, he had been paying attention to Luo Xin under the benefit of Emperor Jiajing.Just as Luo Xin laughed at himself, Luo Xin walked on the edge of the cliff from the beginning of the scientific research, until now.

During the scientific examination, he offended the two giants Yan Song and Xu Jie, but Luo Xin still nourished him till now.

"Have a little confidence in me." Luo Xin said with a smile.

Huang Jin still left in a state of anxiety, and he also knew that Luo Xin had some tricks that he couldn't tell him. As a generation of military gods, how could it be possible that he didn't know the importance of keeping secrets?He couldn't even tell his allies, so Huang Jin didn't blame Luo Xin in his heart, but he didn't hesitate in his heart, worrying about gains and losses.

After Huang Jin left, Luo Xin bent his fingers and tapped on the table lightly, the corners of his mouth slightly curved, showing a sneer.

"Daqing!"

"Master Hou!"

"We can't just defend, we should also counterattack, we have to throw something heavyweight to them."

Lu Daqing's eyes lit up, and he looked at Luo Xin expectantly.From the north to the southeast, as long as Luo Xin has this expression, it must be a big scene.

"Have people throw out evidence of Zhang Shijie and Xu's corruption, blackmail, smuggling, etc., to create public opinion, and throw out the amount of money I made in the southeast and the amount of money Zhang Shijie made in the southeast, and then send people to spread the word. Your Majesty knew that Zhang Shijie and the Xu family were involved in corruption, extortion and smuggling, so Zhang Shijie and Xu Jie framed Luo Xin in an attempt to muddy the water and fool His Majesty. Because His Majesty was old and confused, they took His Majesty as a fool."

"Yes, Lord Hou."

Lu Daqing left in a hurry, Luo Xin sat for a while, drank a cup of tea, and then walked out through the back door of Jia's House, and wandered back to Luo Mansion.

The whole capital became lively, and various rumors spread everywhere, and these rumors were naturally sent to Emperor Jiajing.Emperor Jiajing had a sneer on his face and said:

"Am I that stupid?"

Huang Jin stood in the corner without saying a word, "Wow!" Emperor Jiajing continued to look at the news, his face getting colder and colder.Finally, with a "snap", the stack of papers was thrown on the table.

"I really took Zhen as an old fool, as a fool."
