Chapter 680 Counterattack

Thank you very much for the reward from Zui Zhonglei classmate (100)!

Prince Yu hurried to Gaogong's place and hurried back. It took less than half an hour to go back and forth. Princess Yu asked in surprise:

Princess Yu saw the joy that could not be hidden on Prince Yu's face, and couldn't help but ask anxiously: "His Master Gao agree?"

King Yu shook his head and said, "It's not that Master Gao agreed, but that the sir is fine."

"It's okay?" Princess Yu looked at Prince Yu in confusion.

Prince Yu said to Prince Yu with a jealousy of the news he received from Gao Gong. After Prince Yu heard it, she sighed:

"Sir, a sir, is a god, and he plays the people in the cabinet in his hands."

"Yes!" King Yu said self-deprecatingly: "I am still worrying about my husband. How can I need me to worry about him? Haha..."

Princess Yu looked at the warmth that appeared on Prince Yu's face, and looked a little hesitant, and finally said worriedly:

"Prince, you are sir..."

"What's wrong?" King Yu looked at her with a smile.

"Prince, you have too deep feelings for your husband, and you don't have such deep feelings for your father..."

King Yu was silent for a while, and smiled silently: "My beloved concubine, although I have a father, brothers, and several teachers in my life, I am still lonely. It is my luck to meet a husband."

Speaking of this, Chen said, "I am not afraid of jokes about my beloved concubine. Although the sir is younger than me, when facing him, I have the same appearance of my father and elder brother that I dream of in my dreams. I want to get close to him from the bottom of my heart, but my real father and brother make me afraid."

"But...have you ever thought that you trust him too much...you will ascend to the throne in the future..."

"I trust him!" King Yu's eyes narrowed and said, "If I prove that I am wrong in the future, then I'm wrong. If I don't even have a person to believe in, it's too lonely. I have been in such lonely days for more than twenty years. Now I have finally encountered one, and I don't want to lose it.

Let’s talk about it…”

A wry smile appeared on King Yu's face and said, "In my current situation, do you think I have the right to choose?"

Princess Yu was silent.

Hangzhou.

Lu Mansion.

Six major families gathered here. Because they had just received news from the capital, they all ran to the Lu Mansion one by one, but after they arrived at the Lu Mansion, they all fell silent again.

What do they say?

They thought they had caught Luo Xin's handle, but they didn't expect that Luo Xin had put them on. After a while, the head of the Lu family said in a stern voice:

"What should we do?"

Lu Ding coughed twice and said, "Even if this matter is over, we will not come back, no matter whether it is money or goods. Luo Xin can't return it to us. I'll send it all out, and the Japanese pirates will not come back. Instead, we have to prepare those Japanese pirates to blackmail us."

"Blasked us?" The head of the Cui family said coldly: "We can ignore them. Can they still dare to go ashore to attack us?"

Lu Ding shook his head gently and said, "We really can't offend them at the moment. Of course, if we are ready to surrender to Luo Xin completely, we don't need to worry about the Japanese pirates."

"Submit to Luo Xin? That's impossible." said one by one.

"Then we cannot offend the Japanese pirates." Lu Ding said in a narrow voice: "Since we are unwilling to surrender to Luo Xin, we must fight with Luo Xin to let him know who is the real master of the Southeast. If we win, this Southeast will still be our Southeast. If we lose, we will only be able to be human in the Southeast in the future."

"How to fight?" The heads of the family looked at Lu Ding with bright eyes.

"Even if Luo Xin cannot be killed, he must be driven away." Lu Ding said in a narrow voice.

Everyone nodded, and Lu Ding continued, "We should take this as our ultimate goal. Think about it carefully. One person is short-sighted and two are the best-sighted. Six of us can always come up with a solution."

Everyone withdrew their gazes and frowned and began to think. After a moment, the head of the Lu family looked up and said:

"After the wharf is successfully built, Luo Xin will start preparing goods and trade with the vassal states. We must firmly control the market and not give a slight amount of goods to Luo Xin. In this way, his Maritime Warehouse Department will not be able to operate and he will not make any money. Your Majesty will definitely punish him. At that time, we will ask our people in the capital to report, saying that Luo Xin and our Southeast are in the same situation. If someone changes to Hangzhou to operate the Maritime Warehouse Department, all problems will be solved. Your Majesty will definitely recall Luo Xin back to the capital and order another person to change."

Everyone nodded, and Lu Ding said, "This is not enough, and Luo Xin has a batch of goods stolen from us, which is enough for him to trade with the vassal states once. So although this strategy is useful, it takes a long time. Even if our six major families cannot control the entire southeast for too long, otherwise those silks, porcelains, etc. would be in the hands of those owners for too long, and those people would not agree."

"Then let's spread rumors!" said the head of the Cui family: "Just say that Luo Xin competes with the people for profit, is greedy, and the price for the owners in the southeast is too low. It is a snatch between them, forcing each owner to stop working and disband the workshop. Tens of thousands of mechanics in the Hangzhou floor will inevitably be in an uproar. If we are behind the scenes, Hangzhou will be in chaos. At that time, Luo Xin will be skinned even if he dies."

The head of the Wang family was also inspired and said: "The six of us joined forces to almost control 60% of the land in the southeast. While we were storing grain, raising prices, and spreading rumors, saying that Japanese pirates came ashore from all over the country, burning, killing, looting, and all the crops were burned, and this autumn had no harvest. This would definitely cause panic. When prices soared and there was no grain to buy in the grain shop, Hangzhou would be in chaos, and Luo Xin was dead at that time."

"We only mastered 60% of the land...the remaining 40%..."

Lu Ding's eyes were wide open and he said with a strong aura: "If we don't have any of our six families, I think who dares."

In the Luoxin Manor outside Hangzhou City.

Luo Xin came here again. A few days ago, he got articles about establishing a system from Zigen, articles about moral cultivation from Zhou Xian, and articles about taxation from Cui Hao. He spent several days to understand the articles written by these three people, and then spent several days again, and combined with his previous life experience, he revised these three articles.

For example, in Fang Zigen's article, he deleted some old things and added some advanced systems in later generations. In Zhou Xian's article, he also deleted and added some things based on later experience. For Cui Hao's article, he did not add things from the world he came from, because the things in that world were too advanced and may not be suitable for today's era. He directly took out Zhang Juzheng's whip method and supplemented and deleted Cui Hao's article. In the future, literati will no longer enjoy tax exemption. In Luo Xin's excessiveness, everyone must pay taxes, not count taxes, but land taxes. You have to pay as much tax as you have.

After doing this, Luo Xin spent several days writing and drawing out some scientific ideas in later generations, such as shipbuilding, robbing, cannons, and even steam engines, no matter how much he knew. Luo Xin was not proficient in these things, many of them just explained one direction, either drawing an appearance, or explaining a general principle. He knew that although he did not understand these, those craftsmen would definitely find out when they had this direction.

At this time, he was sitting behind the desk. Cui Hao, Zhou Xian and Fang Zigen were reading the articles that Luo Xin returned to them. They wrote those articles, but the articles were much thicker at this time, and each piece of paper was pasted with Luo Xin's revisions. These articles were written by them, so they didn't have to read the original articles at all, just read the place where Luo Xin modified them. The more they read them, the more shocked they became.

It would be fine for Zhou Xian. Luo Xin was a great scholar. He once wrote "The Combination of Confucius and Mencius". He must have a profound study of the ways of Confucius and Mencius, so it would not surprise Zhou Xian too much if Luo Xin had his own unique insights on moral cultivation. But even so, Zhou Xian was surprised that Luo Xin's articles also had unique insights on Taoism.

Even he was surprised, not to mention Fang Zigen and Cui Hao. Some systems and execution supervision plans from later generations, especially Luo Xin also proposed the idea of ​​establishing an anti-corruption bureau, which made Fang Zigen amazing. As for Cui Hao, he was even more surprised. It would be strange if the whip method that Zhang Juzheng personally did not surprise Cui Hao.

The three people looked at Luo Xin almost at the same time. They were grateful to Luo Xin for saving them from the exile. They thanked Luo Xin for giving them a chance to show their talents, but they did not respect Luo Xin in their hearts. They did things for Luo Xin just to repay their kindness.

but……

Today, after reading Luo Xin's revised article, they knew that they were wrong and that they were outrageously wrong. They had not seen Luo Xin's military generals, but they had seen it today in the literati. As long as they looked at the places where Luo Xin deleted and added it, Luo Xin was definitely a master of the generation. If they were not a master of the generation, they could not reach this level. They felt that their knowledge was a student in front of Luo Xin. At this time, they were no longer simply repaying the kindness of Luo Xin, but respecting him, which could be seen from their expressions.

Seeing their expressions change, Luo Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Luo Xin attached great importance to these three people. It can be said that the construction and management of Taiwan Island in the future will be put on the three of them. It is no exaggeration to say that the three of them are cabinet members of Taiwan Island.

However, Luo Xin knew that these three people were just repaying their kindness again. With this mentality, they would do it in many ways in the direction they thought was good. Even if Luo Xin was not satisfied, even if Luo Xin intervened in the matter, they would be dissatisfied and even disobeyed. However, Luo Xin could not be on Taiwan Island for a long time. Luo Sheng was a martial artist, and he could not be fooled by these literati, which might be the most troublesome thing for Luo Xin...

But now he was relieved.

Literatures have pride, but once they respect someone, they are blindly obedient, they will think that everything the person they respect is done is correct. They do not understand, but their level is not enough.

Luo Xin talked with them for a while, then came to the place where the craftsmen lived, handed over the information to them, and then left the craftsman who was crazy about researching.

This day.

Luo Xin was sitting in the second hall to process some official documents. The wharf was about to be built, and talking to the owners of the Southeast was also on the agenda. However, the effect was very bad. Almost all the owners refused to supply the Maritime Bureau for all kinds of reasons, but Luo Xin knew in his heart that the six major families in the Southeast were beginning to counterattack and take revenge.

Putting down the brush and rubbing his eyebrows, Luo Xin also had a headache. It was not that he could do anything, but that he left behind the illegitimate children and housekeepers from the six major families without killing them, but just keeping the backhand. But if he did that, it would be too bloody and he would not want to do that until very soon.

"Oh..." Luo Xin sighed softly and murmured in a low voice: "Why are the six major families so short-sighted? The price of trading with Japanese pirates is extremely low by them, and the trading range is limited. If trading with Maritime and Maritime and Maritime and Maritime and Maritime and Maritime and Maritime and Maritime and Maritime and Maritime and Maritime and Making greater and larger numbers will definitely come to the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the six major families will definitely not make much more money now.

Why did you have to do the right thing to do when you could have worked together to make a fortune?”

Luo Xin shook his head and sighed again. At this moment, when he heard the footsteps, he saw He Nian and Wang Ziren walking in quickly, neither of them looked very good. After seeing Luo Xin, he bowed:

"Sir, please pay homage to the Lord."

Luo Xin looked up and smiled and said, "Why are you so hurrying?"

"Sir, it's not good." He Nian said with concern locked between his eyebrows.

"What's wrong?" Luo Xin's face was still smiling, calm.

"Sir, do you still remember the mechanic you asked for?"

The smile on Luo Xin's face slowly calmed down and said, "What happened to the mechanic?"

"Rumors are flying in Hangzhou now, saying that the adults are giving local players very low prices, which not only makes those players unable to make money, but also lose money. So those players are ready to go bankrupt, so those workers will be unemployed. The mood of those workers is very unstable these days, and there is a high chance of chaos."

Luo Xin's face changed. If this really happened, he would not stay in the southeast. Seeing He Nian wanting to speak but stop, he said:

"Is there any worse news than this?"

"Yes!" He Nian swallowed.

"Tell me, I want to see how bad it is?"

"Sir, this time it's really a disaster. Now it's rumored that Japanese pirates are coming ashore everywhere, burning, killing, looting, and burning all the crops. This year's crops are destined to be harvested. So now the food in the city is rising wildly. Once this wind causes a major event, the city of Hangzhou will be completely in chaos."

Luo Xin's face couldn't help but look pale. If there was a riot in Hangzhou, he would have been dismissed from office after leaving the Southeast. Maybe he would have been killed by Emperor Jiajing.
