"However, just ten days after Xu Shixing was in charge of the Maritime Warehouse Department, Xu Kun and Xu Ying, two sons of Xu Ge Lao, found Xu Shixing and said that they would join in and trade with the vassal states. Xu Shixing followed the rules left by Lord Luo and asked them to go to Daming Hai Trade. After Xu Kun and Xu Ying left, they went to meet Zhang Juzheng. Zhang Juzheng also refused at first, but later he was called to Xu Mansion by Xu Ge Lao's mother. After coming out of Xu Mansion, he went to persuade Xu Mansion. In the end, Xu Shixing also agreed to Xu Mansion to participate in the transaction.

However, after the two young masters of the Xu family participated, they immediately began to break the rules. After they came into contact with the merchants of the vassal state, they took the initiative to reduce the transaction price. The merchants of the vassal state were naturally happy and used the prices of the two young masters of the Xu family to suppress the prices of the five major families. Therefore, the five major families had to lower the prices. However, after the five major families lowered the prices, the two young masters of the Xu family further reduced the prices. After a few moments, the prices reached a level that they were almost profitable.

In the end, the five major families had to withdraw from the sea trade, so the two princes of Xu Ge Lao completely controlled the sea trade transactions with the vassal states. At this time, the two princes of the Xu family suddenly increased the price to the original price. Of course, the merchants of the vassal state refused, and on the way to the Ming Dynasty, the merchants of the vassal states encountered a new group of pirates. The pirates stated that they could put the vassal states merchants to the Ming Dynasty for transactions, but they had to detain half of their goods. In this way, the merchants of the vassal states would not agree to the price increase of the two princes of the Xu family. However, the two princes of the Xu family insisted not to lower the price. Therefore, the merchants of the vassal states went to find the five major families, but were turned away.

In the end, the two princes of Xu Ge Lao's sons reached an agreement with the merchants of the vassal states, asking Hu Zongxian to send the Ming navy to escort the merchants of the vassal states to the seas controlled by pirates. In this way, the merchants of the vassal states agreed to the price proposed by the two princes of Xu Ge Lao.

However, Hu Zongxian's navy was defeated. Moreover, Hu Zongxian was no longer willing to send a navy to clear out the pirates. He said that if the pirates did not go ashore, he would not go to clear out. In this way, he pushed the two young masters of Xu Ge Lao to an embarrassing situation. They had to trade with the merchants of the vassal state at a low price. However, at this time, several groups of merchants of the vassal state came one after another, and the two young masters of Xu Ge Lao did not have so much goods at all. When they wanted to organize the source of goods, they squeezed out the five major families with them, and then the small and medium-sized merchants who followed the two young masters of Xu Ge Lao to make a lot of money no longer do it. Because they organized the source of goods, they needed to go farther places, including the various expenses, at the price agreed with the merchants of the vassal state, they simply lost money, and they lost a lot.

Xu Luqing, the eldest son of Xu Pavilion who had already gone to the southeast, once again visited Hu Zongxian with Zhang Juzheng, hoping that Hu Zongxian could send troops, but Hu Zongxian still refused. In this case, Xu Kun and Xu Ying took the risk, colluded with the government, listed the charges, and seized the workshops and goods of some small and medium-sized merchants. However, even so, it was less than half of the goods needed to trade with merchants from the vassal states.

In this way, the transaction volume required by the Maritime Mansion Department could not be completed, and the Maritime Mansion Department could not receive the taxes it should receive. Now the Maritime Mansion is in a state of paralysis. Waiting for the Xu Mansion to organize the supply of goods, but the two young masters of the Xu Mansion could not organize the supply of goods at all."

Xu Jie was already sweating and dressed in sweat at this time. He did not expect that after Lu Bing's death, the Jinyiwei would still be so efficient and investigate the matter clearly.

"Where are the five major families?" Emperor Jiajing asked coldly: "The five major families should have goods, right?"

"No more!" Liu Shouyou shook his head and said, "Now the heads of the five major families are no longer southeast. They took their goods to the north, saying that they wanted to go to the north to open a new trade route. The transaction between the southeast and the vassal states was given to the two young masters of Ge Lao Xu. According to their words, who made Governor Lu die? Moreover, his father is the chief minister of the cabinet. If he can't afford to offend, he can afford to hide."

"Bang!"

Emperor Jiajing slapped the imperial calligraphy case hard, his face turned pale. At this time, he really missed Lu Bing. When Lu Bing was not dead, the Lu family also made money with the five major families, but they made money in a regular manner, and they paid a lot of tariffs from the Maritime Bureau.

Let’s take a look at the Xu family?

Not only did he look ugly, he also lost the tariffs of the Maritime Bureau.

It’s still reassuring that my own childhood friend does things!

Emperor Jiajing sighed in his heart, took back his thoughts of missing Lu Bing, and looked at Liu Shouyou and said:

"Liu Shouyou, you know the situation there best now. What do you think should be done?"

"This..." Liu Shouyou hurriedly said: "I don't know."

"Xu Jie!"

"Mr. Rong, please have some time." Xu Jie said tremblingly.

"Please give you some time, who can give me some time? Who can give Daming some time?" Emperor Jiajing shouted angrily.

Xu Jie felt something was wrong in his heart, and he knelt on the ground, trembling.

"Gao Gong!"

"I have no choice, either." Gao Gong said with his head down.

"There is no way, what use I want you? You have no way, so tell me, who has a way?"

"Maybe..." Gao Gong raised his head and said, "Maybe Luo Xin will have a solution. After all, he established the Maritime Affairs Bureau with one hand. When it comes to his understanding of the Southeast, no one knows better than him."

"Xuan Luoxin!" Emperor Jiajing also felt aroused, and a trace of expectation appeared in his eyes.

In less than three quarters of an hour, Luo Xin came to Yuxi Palace. After paying homage to Emperor Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing said:

"Luo Xin, do you know about the Southeast?"

Luo Xin shook his head and said, "I don't know, I am in seclusion and studying science."

"Stop it!" Emperor Jiajing couldn't help but curse, and then said to Liu Shouyou: "Tell him."

"Abide by the order!"

Liu Shouyou repeated what he had just said again, and then the hall became silent. Luo Xin was thinking with his brow locked and he looked at Luo Xin's brows and thought. Looking at Luo Xin's brows and thinking, although Emperor Jiajing was very anxious, he could only wait.

Gao Gong, Huang Jin and Liu Shouyou stood there, not daring to show their atmosphere, while Xu Jie knelt there with his body protrudingly, motionless. The atmosphere in the hall was extremely tense, and the air seemed to have become heavy, drowning towards everyone, making people feel suffocated.

Luo Xin thought for a moment, two quarters of an hour passed. Emperor Jiajing finally became anxious and slapped the imperial desk with a "slap" and shouted:

"Luo Xin, have you figured out a solution?"

Luo Xin raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, the Southeast is now in chaos. Even if there is a solution, it will not be solved in a short time."

"You can tell me the solution first." When Emperor Jiajing's tone was slightly slower when he heard Luo Xin say there was a solution.

“There are three main problems nowadays.”
