Xu Mansion.

In the study room.

A hint of sarcasm appeared on Xu Jie's lips and said to an official standing opposite him: "Dezhi, it seems that the businessmen in the capital don't give us Luo Hou a face!"

"The merchant is pursuing profits. Luo Hou wants to take out silver from the pockets of those merchants, which is simply a fool."

"He has nothing to do with us in his dreams, but this is also an opportunity for us. And it is not just us who take advantage of this opportunity!"

The sarcasm at Xu Jie's mouth widened, and the official said with a solemn expression: "Georg, do you mean Imperial College?"

"Haha" Xu Jie nodded with a smile and said, "Now, the city is full of wind and rain, and the streets and alleys are talking about Luo Xin's intention to repair Wanshou Palace for His Majesty. The war in the north has just passed, and the people are living in poverty. At this time, Luo Xin wants to repair Wanshou Palace for His Majesty, which undoubtedly ignited a fire. Those Imperial College was the time when they were young and impulsive. If Chen Yiqin had not suppressed those Imperial College, the scholars might have already run to the palace gate to die and advised him, haha."

When Xu Jie said this, a sharp light flashed in his eyes and he whispered: "Do you know why I agree with Gao Gong's proposal and let Luo Xin be responsible for repairing the Wanshou Palace?"

"Hao and stupid."

"Haha, I know Gao Gong's thoughts. He is also optimistic about Luo Xin's financial management ability, so he proposed to Your Majesty that Luo Xin was responsible for the repair of Wanshou Palace. But his purpose is not just to repair Wanshou Palace for Your Majesty. He wanted to prove Luo Xin's financial management ability through this matter. If Luo Xin proves his financial management ability, he would suggest that Your Majesty release Luo Xin."

"Outside?"

"Not bad, Dezhi, where do you think if His Majesty releases Luo Xin, will Luo Xin be placed?"

"This Majesty releases Luo Xin out of the country, just to let Luo Xin make money for His Majesty. Now the only place where the Ming Dynasty can earn money is Kaihai. Does Your Majesty want to put Luo Xin out of the southeast?"

"Not bad!" Xu Jie said with admiration in his eyes: "If Luo Xin could really solve the problem of repairing Wanshou Palace, Your Majesty would definitely put Luo Xin out of the southeast, and his official position would not be small. This is what Gao Gong beat, because he knew that Your Majesty had always supported me before and his support for him now was not enough, because Luo Xin was in the capital. Only by driving Luo Xin out of the capital would it be the real battle between me and Gao Gong. And I also wanted to have a real duel with Gao Gong and truly determine my position in the cabinet. Therefore, Luo Xin, who is now in the capital, is a stumbling block between me and Gao Gong, and he must be kicked away.

Of course, it would be even better if we could kill Luo Xin. I have been doing this, but Luo Xin's conscience is really deep, so I can't do anything to him. And I don't know what methods he used, His Majesty actually made him the teacher of King Yu, which is too great to us. Therefore, since we cannot completely defeat Luo Xin, we have to settle for the second best and drive Luo Xin out of the capital. When I determine my position in the cabinet, it will not be too late to deal with Luo Xin.

This is one aspect that I agree with Gao Gong's proposal, and another aspect, it is also an opportunity for us Luo Xin to kill him. If Luo Xin cannot solve the problem of repairing Wanshou Palace and cause riots, for example, in this situation, the Imperial College is a spark. Once this spark becomes a prairie fire, it can burn Luo Xin to death. Therefore, no matter whether Luo Xin has the ability to manage finances, it will be beneficial to us without any harm."

"Sir, wise! Then let's sit and watch the storm rise?"

"Of course not!" Xu Jie smiled faintly and said, "Where can you kill Luo Xin from the capital? You can arrange it and let us in the Imperial College make the noise bigger and force Luo Xin into a desperate situation."

Gaofu.

study.

Chen Yiqin said to Gao Gong anxiously: "Mr. Gao, now the city is full of storms, I can no longer control myself. The students are very excited. They have already shouted the slogan of "raising scholars for two hundred years in the Ming Dynasty, and they are going to go to the palace gate to give advice."

"Then what are you doing when you run to me?" Gao Gong said with a deep face: "You won't go back to control the situation?"

"Bang bang bang"

There was a knock on the door outside the study room.

"Come in!"

As soon as Xu Jie finished speaking, he saw his old housekeeper pushing open the door: "Master, there is a man named Wu Qiugui outside to see Lord Chen."

Xu Jie's eyes looked at Chen Yiqin. Chen Yiqin's face changed drastically. Before he left the Imperial College to come to Xu Jie, he asked Wu Qiugui to see which students he was looking for. At this time, Wu Qiugui ran here. Something must have happened. Seeing Chen Yiqin's face changed drastically, Xu Jie's eyes also shrank and said in a deep voice:

"Let him come."

"Yes, Master!"

The old butler left in a hurry, and soon Wu Qiugui was taken in by the old butler. Before Wu Qiugui could speak, Chen Yiqin asked anxiously:

"But something happened to the Imperial College?"

Wu Qiugui said with a sad face: "Mr. Chen, the students have gone to the palace gate."

"What?" Chen Yiqin said in a panic: "Didn't you let them take good care of them? How did you do it?"

Wu Qiugui was almost in trouble: "There are too many students. They were still quiet and didn't know what happened. Suddenly, they broke out. The humble vocational department could not stop him."

"Bang!"

Gao Gong suddenly stood up and walked out the door. Chen Yiqin couldn't help but follow him and said, "Sir, where are you going?"

"Where to go?" Gao Gong paused and looked at Chen Yiqin and shouted in a low voice: "Where can I go? If such a student causes a big trouble, do you think I can get rid of it? Luo Xin's repair of Wanshou Palace is what I recommend. Xu Jie, you old man."

"Your Lord Xu Jie"

"You have already calmed down the Imperial College students, but suddenly there was a riot. If someone hadn't arranged it, would you think this would have happened? The old man is so cruel! He killed two birds with one stone!"

"Then you"

"First go to the palace gate to calm the situation down, and you and me." Gao Gong looked at Wu Qiugui and said:

"Wu Qiugui!"

"I'm in a humble position!"

"You go to Luo Mansion immediately and inform Luo Hou of the matter."

"Yes, sir, what do you mean by telling Luo Hou?"

Xu Jie closed his eyes, and opened his eyes in less than a breath and said, "No, you just need to tell him what's going on here. With Luo Hou's strategy, he will know what he should do."

"yes!"

Luo Mansion.

At this time, more than 20 people in the hall could no longer sit still. Two quarters of an hour had passed. Before Luo Xin could appear, he looked sarcastic on his face and began to whisper.

"Brother Wang, Luo Xin really thought he could hold us."

"That's right, so what if he is an official?"

"He is too proud. Do you think we are the grassland Tartars who can kill him at will?"

"In a while, he will be no longer proud."

"hehe"

In the side hall, Zhou Yu and others could not help but change their expressions when they heard the conversation in the main hall, and their eyes became angry. Zhou Yu and others learned that the twenty or so people who came were not the main owners of various business companies, so they were angry. When they heard their unscrupulous words, they wanted to rush out and scold them. At the same time, they looked at Luo Xin worriedly. Luo Xin smiled faintly on his face, but he still had no intention of going out. After about a quarter of an hour, someone came in silently from the side door. It was Lu Yuan who came to Luo Xin and handed a piece of paper in his hand to Luo Xin. Luo Xin took a look, and then handed it to Zhou Yu. After Zhou Yu read it, his expression changed drastically, and his hands trembled to Zhang Xun. At this moment, Luo Xin stood up from the chair, walked out of the side door, walked around the house, and walked into the hall from the front door.

Hearing the footsteps at the door, the whispers in the hall were silent. More than twenty eyes looked at Luo Xin. A smile appeared on Luo Xin's face and bowed to everyone:

"Let you wait for a long time!"

Although the twenty or so people were talking happily in the room just now, they looked down on Luo Xin. When they saw Luo Xin coming in, they had already stood up and said to Luo Xin:

"Meet Luo Hou."

"Please get up!"

Luo Xin walked to his seat and sat down. More than 20 people stood up and looked at Luo Xin. Luo Xin said calmly:

"Today, we are summoned to repair the Wanshou Palace." At this point, his expression darkened: "But all the people from your business companies are not the real masters. Can you make the masters?"

"Luo Hou!" At this time, Zhang Zhigu's younger brother bowed to Luo Xin and said, "My brother is in good health, so let the villain come. Your Majesty repairs Wanshou Palace. Our Zhang Trading Company is willing to donate 500 taels of silver."

Luo Xin's face was then put down, his eyes became sharp, and he said coldly: "Bold, what do you think of Your Majesty as? Donate 500 taels of silver? Do you think Your Majesty is a beggar?"

"I"

As soon as Luo Xin showed his might, the majesty on his body was revealed. When he heard Luo Xin say this, his face turned pale. His lips were trembling, but he didn't know what to say.

"Come!"

"Marty!" He immediately came in from outside the Luo Mansion four generals.

"Blow him out!"

"yes!"

A family came forward and grabbed Zhang Zhigu's younger brother, threw it out of the gate, and was thrown outside with a "thump", which made him scream. Before he could get up, the four family generals rushed over with sticks and beat him down. He hurriedly got up from the ground and was beaten out with screams.

The hall was silent, and more than twenty people looked at Luo Xin with fear. They didn't expect that Luo Xin would really dare to fight! Thinking of Luo Xin's words just now, he scolded Zhang Zhidong and said that he regarded His Majesty as a beggar. He disliked Zhang's Trading Company for giving little donations!

but

They couldn't make the decision at all. When they came, the head of the family had already told them how much to donate. These people couldn't help but look at each other and said in their hearts:

"It seems that I can't escape the beating today! Just beat it up, I don't dare to kill us anyway. I want to see, after I beat me away, how can you, Luo Xin, repair the Wanshou Palace for His Majesty?"

Therefore, although a person's face was pale and his eyes were scared, he was ready to get in a state of trouble with Luo Xin.

"Everyone, sit down!" Luo Xin's voice sounded faintly.

Everyone sat down honestly and made up their minds. No one said this time. If Luo Xin asked him and others to donate, he would tell the number of the head of the monk and get beaten up.

Zhou Yu and others in the side hall looked at each other. They didn't know what Luo Xin was doing, especially when they saw the piece of paper that Lu Yuan had just taken in. The paper said that all the students from the Imperial College ran to the palace to give advice. This was simply trying to kill Luo Xin. But here, Luo Xin beat the donor away. Could it be that Luo Xin knew about the Imperial College and dared not raise funds?

However, if he doesn’t raise funds, how can he repair Wanshou Palace?

"This lord summons you to come this time, not to let you donate money. If there is no money in the court, you don't need to donate money. This is the world of His Majesty. Will His Majesty lack those silver? Some people dare to regard His Majesty as a beggar. It's really damn."

When everyone heard Luo Xin's words, their eyes were filled with confusion.

Didn’t Luo Xin ask them to donate?

Then what do you want to call them together?

Could it be that they want to buy materials for repairing Wanshou Palace from them?

Thinking of this, everyone was excited, but then they felt it was impossible. Others don’t know what the financial situation of the Ming Dynasty is, but don’t they know about it?

This made them even more confused, and they didn't know what dragon gate formation Luo Xin was setting up. However, at this time, their spirit became more focused, for fear of missing a word Luo Xin said.
