Luofu.

Luo Xin looked at Lu Yi and said: "It may not be possible to move Xu Jie. Your Majesty is afraid of trouble now, so let's take one step at a time. However, it is a good thing for the Lu family to withdraw. The Lu family is currently at a low ebb, so it is better to keep a low profile. Make some money. Tell Lu Ding, don't have other thoughts, be honest."

Lu Yi's heart trembled, he nodded and said, "I understand."

Yuxi Palace.

"Xuan Liu Shouyou."

Two quarters of an hour later, Liu Shouyou came to Yuxi Palace and knelt in front of Emperor Jiajing. Emperor Jiajing looked at Liu Shouyou and said:

"Do you know about the shipping department in Southeast City?"

"Know!"

"Tell me!"

"According to the order!"

Liu Shouyou explained the matter in the southeast in detail. After listening to it, Emperor Jiajing felt that it was no different from what Lu Dingxin said, so he nodded and said:
"Has it affected taxes?"

"Not for the time being, but I am worried that once Xu's government fully grasps the sea trade transactions, it will affect the tax revenue of the Shipping Department."

"He dares?" Emperor Jiajing said lightly: "Okay, I know. Continue to keep an eye on Shibosi and Xu's family."

"According to the order!"

"Go!"

"My minister retire."

Liu Shouyou retreated, Huang Jin said softly, "Your Majesty, the Lu family..."

"Hmph!" Emperor Jiajing said lightly, "Even if the Lu family had no sea trade transactions, the money Lu Bing earned would not be spent in two lifetimes by the Lu family."

City ship division.

The merchants of the feudal kingdom were blushing and quarreled, but Xu Kun and Xu Ying were old gods.

The reason is very simple. After the withdrawal of the five great families, the Xu family immediately raised the transaction price to the original height, which made the merchants of the feudal kingdom feel unbalanced when they tasted the cheapness.Immediately, they quarreled with the two sons of the Xu family and threatened that if the Xu family still maintained this price, they would not trade.

Xu Kun and Xu Ying only showed sarcasm on their faces, and finally flung their sleeves away.They don't care about these vassal merchants at all, and they have never looked down on them.These merchants were able to accept the prices of the five great families when their Xu family was not involved, but now they can't accept it?

impossible!
It's just greed.

However, the two brothers believed that it was impossible for this group of feudal merchants not to buy pottery, tea and silk from Daming. If they stayed here for one more day, they would waste one more day.Sooner or later they will come to beg them, and they don't care about the threat of the merchants of the feudal kingdom at all.

Of course, they are also wary of those merchants from the vassal states going to the five great families for smuggling.Therefore, they are also monitoring, if the five great families dare to smuggle, they dare to destroy the five great families.Now Lu Bing is dead, the chief minister of the cabinet is their father, and the prefect of Hangzhou is their father's student.

Has the businessman from the feudal kingdom gone to the five great families?

I must have found it!

However, they didn't even get through the door, and the heads of the five great families didn't see them at all.This made Xu Kun and Xu Ying full of disdain for the five great families apart from regret.

Xu Shixing and Jin Yiwei, who were secretly monitoring the five great families, also breathed a sigh of relief.Especially Jin Yiwei, they were really afraid that something would happen to the Lu family.

However, when Xu Kun and Xu Ying were confidently waiting for the merchants from the feudal kingdom to beg them, the merchants from the feudal kingdom did not go to them, but went to Xu Shixing, begging to sell them at the low price last time. , otherwise they would rather go back empty.When writing about Xu Shixing, he didn't understand why the merchants of the vassal state were like this?
Even at the price of the five great families, didn't the merchants of the feudal kingdom make a lot of money?
Later, under Xu Shixing's constant questioning, those merchants from the feudal kingdom finally revealed the reason. It turned out that they were stopped by a band of pirates on their way to Daming. There is also a small cannon on board, the Fran cannon.

However, I didn't expect that those pirate ships were stronger, faster, and had more advanced artillery and muskets that fired extremely fast and had a long range. They were not opponents at all, and they were knocked out just by meeting , had to surrender.

Originally thought that they would be killed or captured as slaves, but what they didn't expect was that the pirates didn't rob them of anything, they just told them that after going to Daming to trade, they had to hand over half of the goods to the pirates Do protection money.

Of course, these vassal merchants agreed. Now that they are trading with Daming, the price of the goods from Daming is quite low, and the goods purchased from them are still at the original price. Even if they pay half of the goods as protection fees, able to make money.It's just that you earn very little.

This has already made them happy. They were not killed by pirates or captured as slaves, and they were allowed to make money, so what else?

They have all made up their minds, and when they arrive in Daming, they jointly lower the price again, so that they can earn more and compensate for their losses.

However, they didn't expect that before they lowered the price, Daming raised the price and mentioned the original price.In this way, let alone making money, they will lose their pants.

Of course they would not agree, so they went to look for the five great families, but they were rejected. They waited for them to figure out the reason before they realized that the five great families had withdrawn from the sea trade.And the gesture of not seeing them behind closed doors is telling them that the five great families will not smuggle with them.They can only trade with the Xu family.

but……

How can this price be acceptable?

Therefore, they found Xu Shixing today and were forced to explain the reason.In the end, there was a showdown with Xu Shixing. If the price was not lowered to the original price, they would leave and would never come to Daming again.No one will make a loss-making business.

This time, Xu Shixing became anxious.

If these vassal state merchants never come to Daming again, wouldn't it mean that his Shibosi will not be able to collect a single cent of tax?
Then Emperor Jiajing ate his heart!

The point is that Emperor Jiajing ate him and there was nothing wrong with it, wouldn't he just die?

But he, Xu Shixing, knew that the finances of Daming were all directed at the Shibo Department. If the Shibo Department couldn't collect any tax, Daming's finances would be paralyzed, and Daming would be in turmoil again, and he would be guilty of destroying the country.

In a hurry, he summoned Xu Jie's two sons, as well as the merchants from the feudal kingdom, and Xu Shixing explained the matter clearly to Xu Jie's two sons.And finally ordered Xu Jie's two sons to trade with the merchants of the feudal state at the original price, and warned Xu Jie's two sons:

"If they don't do that and Xu Shixing can't pay his taxes, he will tell His Majesty the whole matter of the two of them disrupting the sea trade. Your Xu family will be ransacked."
