Thank you very much to Jiang Fengliu Nian, Qiaotou Ghost Classmate, two Hao Yisan, and I am Nan Shanzhu for your reward!

Lu Ding thought not only to participate in the Maritime Service openly and get a share of the pie, but also to continue smuggling in secret to earn greater benefits. He believed that Luo Xin would not refuse, because the Lu family is not an ordinary family, and without the support of the Lu family, Luo Xin would be unable to move forward if he wanted to run the Maritime Service.

Without the support of the Lu family, no one would pay attention to him in the entire Southeast family. If you establish a Maritime Warehouse, no family would do business with Maritime Warehouse. All families would continue to smuggle. Anyway, everyone has done a smooth job in smuggling and will also make profits. Why do you have to use your Maritime Warehouse to get a part of the profit?

No family does business with the Maritime Bureau. The Maritime Bureau is just a joke. It cannot collect goods at all. What can I use to do business with the feudal states?

Lu Ding firmly believed that as long as Luo Xin dared not agree to the Lu family's participation in the Lu family openly and secretly, the Maritime Bureau would not be able to do a business. As long as this situation lasted for three months, Emperor Jiajing would immediately stop Luo Xin's official position, and Luo Xin would be nothing at that time.

The Lu family has this ability and control. The entire Southeast Lu family is a real local emperor. After serving as prefects, the first person to visit the Lu family was their Lu family. Since Luo Xin took office, he has not come to visit their Lu family, but Lu Ding felt that this was not surprising, because a Tongzhi was not qualified to visit their Lu family. If it weren't for Luo Xin, the Tongzhi in charge of the Maritime Bureau, he wouldn't have looked at him, let alone invited Luo Xin to visit him.

In his opinion, Luo Xin was a dog, he was the dog of Emperor Jiajing and the dog of their Lu family. Not to mention Luo Xin, a co-prime master, even Hu Zongxian, who was famous in the southeast, would not dare to provoke their Lu family.

This is because their Lu family has a Lu Bing!

Therefore, Lu Ding was arrogant at this time, looking at Luo Xin and said lightly: "My second request is to hope that after the establishment of the Maritime Bureau, the Lu family's original business would not be disturbed."

As soon as this sentence was spoken, even Luo Xin, who was mentally prepared, was stunned. Then he couldn't help laughing and crying in his heart. There was no anger in his heart, which was really couldn't laugh.

Who gave him Lu Ding such courage?

What is his Lu family’s business?

Smuggling!

Although Lu Ding did not say so straightforwardly, of course Lu Ding dared not say it straightforwardly. All the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were banning the sea. What is banning the sea? It means not being allowed to go into the sea. Even fishing cannot be done. How can smuggling be allowed? As long as you catch it, you will be beheaded.

Of course, no one is involved in smuggling nowadays. Officials, businessmen and pirates colluded together and made a fortune, which was to cheat the emperor.

Although Emperor Jiajing is preparing to open the sea, he can only pass the Maritime Bureau. Anyone who smuggles must have the only way to behead him. But Lu Ding is thinking about asking Luo Xin to smuggle him. How could this not make Luo Xin smile bitterly?

Moreover, Lu Ding not only wants to get involved in the official business, but also wants to continue smuggling?

Does he think Lu Bing can really cover the sky with just one hand?

However, Luo Xin was stunned and calmed down. There was no need to tear him face to face with Lu Ding. Some things don’t need to be said by your mouth, just do it. For people like the Lu family who are used to being local emperors, only by hurting him will he realize that his strength is just a false image, but in fact he is just an ant.

As for Lu Bing

Emperor Jiajing had a feeling for Lu Bing that others did not have, but Emperor Jiajing, who was naturally frivolous, could not let Lu Bing get involved in the Maritime Warehouse because Emperor Jiajing was poor!

Now that the Ming Dynasty has even paid the salaries of officials. At this time, whoever dares to rob him of money will be his mortal enemy. Not to mention Lu Bing, even if Emperor Jiajing crawled out of the coffin, Emperor Jiajing would not be polite.

Let's talk about it

Thinking back to the time when Luo Xin was still a white Ding and was very weak, he was not even afraid of Yan Song, who was in power in the court and the opposition. Was he afraid of Lu Bing?

"Haha" Luo Xinbuxian smiled lightly and said: "These things are still far away, and there is no formed constitution in his heart. I'm still waiting to build the dock. After the constitution is mature, how about talking to the old man?"

Lu Ding was very satisfied with Luo Xin's attitude, but was not satisfied with the result. So he said with a smile:

"We can talk about it first. I'm a few years older than you, and maybe I'll give you some ideas."

"I really kicked my face!" Even though Luo Xin was able to calm down, a hint of anger arose in his heart, and a look of smile on his face said:

"Then the old man might as well write a charter and send someone to Buqi. Buqi will definitely read it carefully."

"Hehe" Lu Ding laughed dryly. Naturally, he would not write any constitution for Luo Xin. Although he was arrogant, he would not leave any handle for Luo Xin. He could say verbally, but he would not admit it after leaving this door. But it would be different if he wrote it out.

"No need for this, haha"

"You don't dare to measure it!" Luo Xin said in his heart that he had lost the ** who had been talking to Lu Ding at this time. He stood up and bowed to Lu Ding:

"Sir, there are still many things in the yamen. If you don't have any equipment, I'll say goodbye."

Lu Ding did not try to keep him. Although Luo Xin never gave up, he did not refuse. He believed that as long as he gave Luo Xin some means in the future, Luo Xin would submit. So he was still very satisfied with the meeting with Luo Xin today, and stood up with a smile and said:

"I'm sending you."

"Don't dare!"

"Must give it."

"Thank you, Mr.

Luo Xin left the Lu Mansion and sat in the carriage, his eyes flashing with gleam.

It seems that the wealthy families in the southeast did not take themselves seriously. Emperor Jiajing was forced to do so. If he could not make any profit in a short period of time, Emperor Jiajing would not stop. At that time, Xu Jie was leading the censors and other memorials, and his mission in the southeast would be over. Therefore, it would be impossible to follow the steps step by step. He must put a strong medicine in the southeast, and he had to give those wealthy families a ruthless one.

After this ruthless pass, it may immediately cause crazy revenge from the wealthy families in the southeast, and the Xu party in the court will not sit idly by, so I will immediately be at the forefront of the storm.

hehe

Then let the storm come even more violently!

Neither Qi Jiguang nor Luo Qing came back. Luo Xin knew that they were waiting for the reward from the court. After the reward was received, Qi Jiguang and Luo Xin would both return to Hangzhou. And by that time, not to mention whether Qi Jiguang would be promoted, his elder brother would definitely be promoted. Once he was promoted, he would have more soldiers under his command. With Qi Jiguang's soldiers, Luo Xin could make big moves.

However, the main task now is to start building a dock. So, the next day, Luo Xin took the officials of the Maritime Bureau to Haining to survey the terrain, and then began to build a dock in a place with a suitable water depth at Qiantang River.

Luo Xin began to get busy and strictly restrained his subordinate officials. He had assessments every day. Those who failed the three assessments, Luo Xin directly killed the killer, those who should be demoted, those who should be dismissed, and those who should be dismissed should be dismissed, and those who should be dismissed should be dismissed. Although only one person was fired, two people were demoted, and one person was dismissed, the impact on those officials was very huge. In just a few days, the atmosphere of the entire yamen was accumulating, and the efficiency of doing things was greatly improved, and the operation of the Maritime Bureau began to become smooth.

Luo Xin knew very well that he was ordered to be in danger. If he could not make money, let alone the entire Ming Dynasty would be paralyzed if Emperor Jiajing was not satisfied.

Officials can receive half of their salary in a month and half of their salary in two months. However, if this continues, these officials will lose their motivation and become full of resentment. The Ming Dynasty will be disunited and the world will be in chaos. Therefore, Luo Xin must make money, and only by making money can the Ming Dynasty stabilize again. However, if you want to make money, the Maritime Bureau must be an efficient yamen, and you will not be delayed or impetuous. Moreover, the Maritime Bureau is a yamen that deals directly with silver, and it will not be corruption at all. Therefore, Luo Xin is so decisive.

The effect is not very good. People from the Maritime Bureau have seen Luo Xin's thundering methods, and these people have no background. If they want to avoid being demoted or fired, they can only work seriously and work diligently to avoid being caught by Luo Xin.

Seeing that everything in the Maritime Bureau was on track, Luo Xin felt more and less relaxed. Then he began to hold some literary meetings from time to time, inviting some gentry and celebrities to act like a silence.

Those gentry and celebrities also gave Luo Xin a very good face. Even Lu Ding was invited to attend the literary conference organized by Luo Xin. During the literary conference, everyone talked about the romantic and snowy moon, and was happy. It seemed that the relationship between Luo Xin and these Southeast giants was very harmonious.

In fact, Luo Xin knew very well that these were all revealed on the surface, but in fact, at every literary meeting, both sides were testing each other and talking to each other.

Through these articles, Luo Xin learned about the power composition in the Southeast, and at the same time he confused the wealthy families in the Southeast, making them feel that they came to the Southeast to make money with everyone, and they did not want to make things difficult for everyone.

Luo Xin did this for these two purposes: one was to further understand the situation in the Southeast, and the other was to confuse these wealthy families.

It is obvious that Luo Xin's approach has achieved results. Not to mention anything else, Luo Xin's reputation has begun to have a positive image in Hangzhou, and those wealthy families have begun to remain silent and have a positive evaluation of Luo Xin.

With Luo Xin's act of releasing goodwill, although those wealthy families were still watching, no one made trouble when Luo Xin established the Maritime Bureau. They were all watching and watching Luo Xin's final attitude.

Under this situation, Luo Xin's life became better and better, so he began to give lectures in the prefecture school. His purpose of giving lectures to the prefecture school was different from that of others. Others gave lectures to the prefecture school for their reputation, in order to accumulate fame, and eventually became a great scholar.

But Luo Xin is already a great scholar, and he doesn't need these reputations to make him a great scholar. His only purpose is to win the hearts of Southeast students.

Although these students who have not entered the officialdom are old, most of them are still young, so their blood is still hot and they are easy to worship someone. Luo Xin wants to conquer these young people. Those gentry and celebrities have been stinked by fame and fortune. Luo Xin cannot win the worship of those people. However, these young people are different. They are still at a relatively impulsive age. Even if they are children of wealthy families, they may fight against the family for their ideals. Luo Xin wants this effect, and only this purpose, so that the children of wealthy families will become obstacles to wealthy families.

As the saying goes, solid fortresses are all broken from the inside. Only when conflicts occur or conflicts occur within these wealthy families can Luo Xin be less under pressure.

Luo Xin never looked down on the enemy, so he started to plant landmines for those wealthy families from all aspects.

Moreover, Luo Xin was very kind to the children of the wealthy families with such a purpose. As long as they asked the academic questions, he always answered them in detail. This not only made the children of the wealthy families grateful, but also their fathers had a better impression of Luo Xin.

Whether it was to be able to have a better relationship with Luo Xin in business in the future or because of Luo Xin's teachings to his descendants, these wealthy families began to send gifts to Luo Xin one after another. Luo Xin refused all the gifts, including gold and silver, and other gifts, such as antiques, calligraphy and paintings, Luo Xin pawned them all. Although they were only pawned for half a year and could be redeemed within half a year, Luo Xin did not hide them from others.

At this moment, the entire Southeastern family knew that Luo Xin did not like antique calligraphy and paintings, but only liked gold and silver. Therefore, these Southeastern family members despised Luo Xin’s vulgarity while no longer gave Luo Xin any antiques and calligraphy and paintings, but gave gold and silver.

This day.

He Nian came to the second hall with concern and met Luo Xin. When Luo Xin saw He Nian's worried look, he said:

"Sir He, why are you worried?"

"Sir, what do you think of the officials and clerks in the yamen now?"

Luo Xin nodded happily and said, "Yes, these officials and clerks have worked diligently recently, and the work efficiency of the Maritime Bureau has been greatly improved."

"But," He Nian said worriedly: "It's the end of the month!"

"What's at the end of the month?" Luo Xin looked at He Nian, his eyes showing a trace of confusion.

"Salary, my lord!" He Nian said with a laugh and cry: "According to your assessment, many officials and clerks not only have to receive all their salaries, but also rewards, and those rewards are equivalent to their salaries. Now our Maritime Bureau does not have this money? If we have no money to give the reward at the end of the month, people's hearts will disperse immediately, and the Maritime Bureau will collapse. No one is willing to follow a boss who breaks his promise. Even if they have no place to go, they will no longer care about the assessment. When they don't care about the assessment, can you fire them all? Then Maritime Bureau has become an empty air?"
