"Okay!" Qi Jiguang slapped the table and said, "I will do it once with you. Two days later, we will start a big killing."

"No!" Luo Xin shook his head and said, "I won't start a massacre in two days, and I will still let them smuggle."

"You..." Qi Jiguang said in surprise: "Why is this?"

Luo Xin smiled faintly and said, "In two days, the wealthy families in the southeast will not dare to smuggle as usual. They will reduce the goods, maybe only 20% or 30% of the goods before. This is their test of me. If I take action, they will not lose much and will not hurt their muscles at all. Then they will join forces to deal with me. This is not the result I want. If I don't do it, I will just hurt them once I take action, so that they will hurt them."

"What does it mean to be unarmed?"

"Without the smuggling in two days, I will do it when they smuggle in the middle of next month. At that time, their transaction will be to gather the goods for two months. Even if they are wealthy families, I'm afraid this time it will be a trauma."

Luo Qingwen couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said, "My little brother, I like it."

Qi Jiguang took a breath of air. He could imagine how much Luo Xin would offend the wealthy families of the Southeast after he did this. He couldn't help but worry about Luo Xin.

"I really want to do this?"

Luo Xin nodded and said, "I gave them the opportunity to cooperate. As long as they do not smuggle and cooperate with the Maritime Corporation, they may earn less than smuggling at the beginning. However, with the influence of the Maritime Corporation on overseas, more and more maritime merchants from the vassal states will come to trade. By that time, they will probably earn several times more than smuggling, and even ten times more. However, they narrowed their eyes by the greed in front of them and could not see the future prospects. In this way, there would be no basis for cooperation.

Since there is no foundation for cooperation, it will be more than a result. Either I, Luo Xin, suppress them and force them to obey my orders, or they drive me away, or even ruin me. Since that is the case, why should I be polite to them? From now on, as long as they dare to smuggle, I will dare to kill them."

"good!"

Qi Jiguang, Luo Qing and He Nian nodded one after another and settled the matter. He Nian remembered the matter at the dock again and asked:

"Sir, what should I do about the dock?"

"Kill!" Luo Xin said with a stern murderous intent.

A few black air broke out from He Nian's forehead and said, "Sir, do you want to kill the official?"

Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing also stared at Luo Xin blankly. Luo Qing suddenly laughed and said, "Brother, are you going to rebel?"

"What kind of rebellion?" Luo Xin smiled and said, "Isn't it just killing a few corrupt officials?"

"But they are officials! You don't have the right to kill them!"

"I have!" Luo Xin said lightly: "I have an imperial edict!"

"Really?" The eyes of the people in the study lit up.

"Really!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "If Song Danian was too ignorant, I would still kill him."

"Why did the lord not take any action these days and let the dock stop work without giving out an imperial edict?" He Nian asked in confusion.

"Money can make people crazy!" Luo Xin's eyes became deeper and said, "At that time, Brother Qi and my elder brother had not returned yet, and I had no one under my command. I rashly took the imperial edict to the prefect's office. Maybe they would be killed by them, and then I pushed the death on the Japanese pirates, saying that the Japanese pirates killed me, wouldn't I die unjustly?"

The study was silent. They knew that Luo Xin was right and that such a thing might really happen. After a while, He Nian said:

"Then we will go to the prefect's office tomorrow?"

"No hurry! Let's talk about it next month."

"Next month?" He Nian said anxiously: "There will be another month of suspension? Then can our Maritime Manufacturing Department open?"

"Don't rush to drive! There are pirates on the islands near the sea. In two days, I will go to Suzhou to meet with the master of the ministry and ask him to drive away the pirates from the nearby islands within this month. Of course, this is not the main reason why I don't go to the prefect's office. The main reason is that if I attack the prefect's office now, it will make the wealthy families in the southeastern country alert. If they are alert, how can I kill them happily? How can I kill them hurt? How can I cut the mess quickly?

The Southeast cannot afford to drag it, but the Ming Dynasty cannot afford to drag it!"

Lu Mansion in Wuxian.

The wealthy families in the southeast gathered here, and a servant hurried into the lobby. The sound in the lobby was quiet. Everyone's eyes were gathered on the servant, and the servant looked suffocated. Then he took another step forward and bowed to Lu Ding and said:

"Master, Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing are back, and they go to visit Luo Xin."

The atmosphere in the lobby was suffocating, and everyone's eyes flashed. After a while, the head of the Cui family said:

"Everyone, Luo Xin won't really take action, right?"

"Hmph!" Lu Ding snorted coldly, "I hope he, Luo Xin, will take action. In this way, we will only lose 30% of the goods... No, let us continue to inform, this time we will only transport 20% of the goods. As long as Luo Xin dares to take action, we will only lose 20% of the goods, but we can make the Japanese pirates and pirates work for us. At that time, the pirates and Japanese pirates will plunder in the southeast, and we will raise prices together. At that time, the southeast will be in chaos. Then we asked Song Danian to submit a memorial to His Majesty, saying that all this was caused by Luo Xin's actions, and we also use our relationships to let those relationships in the capital impeach Luo Xin together. I think Luo Xin can still stay in the southeast?"

"Okay, let's trade these 20% of the goods for Luo Xin to be disgraced."

"Master!" A servant walked in again and bowed and said, "Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing have left the Maritime Bureau."

"Where is Luo Xin?" Lu Ding asked in a deep voice.

"It's still in the Maritime Department."

"Continue to monitor and closely monitor Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing's every move."

Two days later.

Noon.

In the lobby of Lu Mansion, wealthy families in the southeast gathered here again. A servant hurried in and bowed to him and said:

"Master, Luo Xin left the Maritime Bureau and headed towards Suzhou."

"Suzhou?" Lu Ding frowned slightly: "What did he do in Suzhou at this time? Where are Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing?"

"They are still in the camp!"

"Continue to monitor!"

The sun gradually sets, and the servant returns again and says, "Master, Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing still haven't left the camp."

Everyone's eyes were gathered on Lu Ding's body at this time. Lu Ding's tight brows stretched out and said aloud:

“Shipment!”

"Brother Lu, are you sure there is nothing wrong?" asked the heads of the family in the lobby.

"I can't be sure!" At this point, he said impatiently, "Isn't it just 20% of the goods? And I don't believe that Luo Xin dares to attack my Lu family."

When everyone thought of the Lu Bian of the Lu family, they also let down their hearts and ordered their servants to notify the shipment.

Nothing happened overnight.

Luo Xin stayed overnight in the Governor's Mansion and did not meet the Hangzhou Maritime Warehouse at all. Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing were also in their camps, and there was no movement at all. The wealthy families in the southeast were also smuggled smoothly, which made them laugh at Luo Xin for being awesome, but in fact they had no ability. In addition to being a verbal move, they also regretted not sending out 10% of the goods, but only 20% of the goods. The remaining 80% of the goods had to be kept in the warehouse for one month, and the full amount of goods needed by the maritime merchants was required. This was almost two months of goods, which made the funds of these wealthy families suddenly tense.

the next day.

Luo Xin still stayed in Suzhou and did not come back. Three days later, Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing set up camp, left Hangzhou, and headed towards Suzhou. Then they went out to sea with the navy. Luo Xin's purpose of going to the Governor's Office three days ago was also spread. It turned out that Luo Xin believed that there were many pirates on the islands near the sea. If the sea was opened, there would be no sense of security at all. The goods going out to sea would be stolen by pirates and Japanese pirates. So Hu Zongxian asked Hu Zongxian to clear the pirates and Japanese pirates in the nearby sea within the next one or two months. Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing were recruited by Hu Zongxian to clear the pirates and Japanese pirates.

Luo Xin was still in the Suzhou Governor's Office, and was drinking with Hu Zongxian at this time. Hu Zongxian drank a glass of wine, put down the glass, and looked at Luo Xin steadily. Luo Xin couldn't help but touch his face and said:

"Brother, what do you think of me like this? Is there a stain on my face?"

Hu Zongxian shook his head, a wry smile appeared on his face and said, "No, you are too brave."

"I'm too brave? Why are you so big? Just because I want to attack those wealthy families in the southeast?" Luo Xin said lightly.

Hu Zongxian looked a little worried and said, "You don't know the background and energy of these wealthy families in the southeast. They corrected their mistakes in the Ming Dynasty. Don't think that their power is only in the southeast. They also have a great power in the capital. Many of their clan members are officials in the capital."

"For example, Lu Bing?" Luo Xin said with a smile.

"Not bad!" Hu Zongxian nodded and said, "If you really fight with them, the memorials from the capital that impeach you can bury you. Moreover, you still have the great enemy of Xu Jie in the capital. At that time, Your Majesty will give up your official position. Once you lose your official position, those wealthy families want to kill you and take it easy."

Speaking of this, Hu Zongxian sighed and said, "I am cautious in the southeast. Although I often hit them, I dare not offend them. My master's hair is so worried that I have grayed my hair. Now you are going to fight with them. Have you thought about the consequences? No, I heard from my brother that I have said, it's still time to stop."

Luo Xin said silently for a moment: "Brother, how do you tell me to stop? The prefect Song Danian dared to treat me like this and cut off the supplies for me to build a dock. Is he the only one who dared? It is obvious that there are the participation and support of the wealthy families in the Southeast. This is why they attack me first, not me provoking them first. Also, their smuggling is so rampant that even if I establish the Maritime Bureau, it is not an empty air? How can I make a penny? If I can't make money, will Your Majesty spare me? This is where they cut off my future.

No!

It’s not just cutting off my future, it’s simply killing my life. Now that my life is in full swing, how can I still take care of so many things? If they want my life, then I will take their life. This is fair."

"Forget it, I won't persuade you anymore. I've advised you many times, but you can't listen at all. In fact, you can bow your head to the wealthy families in the Southeast and everyone can share the benefits."

Luo Xin smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think I don't want to? Do you think I don't want to live a peaceful life? But I can't do it! First of all, after dividing the interests in this way, the money I earned was not enough to pay for your majesty. Your Majesty will give up my official position. As you said, after I lose my official position, I will not be able to save my life. Secondly, these wealthy families in the southeast have become greedy. Once I bow to them, they will press forward step by step. In the end, I can only be a puppet of the Maritime Bureau. The real person in charge will be the wealthy families in the southeast. If they take such benefits, I will bear the anger of Your Majesty. Brother, do you think I am like a fool?"

Hu Zongxian was silent and finally turned into a long sigh and said, "No, no matter how I think you have entered a dead end. If you cooperate with the wealthy families in the Southeast, you are the unlucky guy who takes the blame. If you fight with the wealthy families in the Southeast, I think you can't fight them at all. Don't mention that the memorial to impeach you in the capital is like snowflakes, even the great god Lu Bing will eat you until you don't have any residue left."

Luo Xin suddenly laughed and said, "Brother, no matter what the result of my future collision with the wealthy families in the Southeast is very beneficial to you. Over the years, I think you have been involved in the Southeast family. If I can conquer the wealthy families in the Southeast, you will have less bonds and can concentrate on dealing with the Japanese pirates. Even if I fail, I can tell you with certainty that with my teeth, I will never lose completely, but will suffer from the wealthy families in the Southeast. That will also be beneficial to you, so brother, you should help me."

"Stop!" Hu Zongxian raised his hand and said, "I can't afford to complain about your business. The things you cause are all messes. Brother, I'm old and old, I can't afford to accompany you. I'm just cooperating with you this time to cover up Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing. I won't participate in other things. And I'll tell the ugly things ahead. If you ultimately fail, I will come forward to clarify that I was recruiting Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing to wipe out the Japanese pirates, but I was transferred by you halfway, and everything has nothing to do with me."

Luo Xin smiled faintly and said, "Okay, but, I'll stay here for you for a long time, right?"

"You stay as long as you want."

"Forget it, I'll go back tomorrow."

Luo Xin returned to Hangzhou, but the wharf was still stopped. Luo Xin did not go to find Song Danian. Instead, he would shoot officials from the Maritime Bureau to go to the workshop of the prefectural office to urge him, but he would return without success every time.

Gradually, there was no idea where the news came from, saying that Luo Xin had begged Hu Zongxian for a long time and wanted Hu Zongxian to help, but Hu Zongxian refused. So now Luo Xin has been worried all day long in the Maritime Warrior Office. He heard that Luo Xin's hair was completely white.
