You, Zhang Juzheng, seized power as soon as you arrived in Hangzhou, but do you have a solution to the problem? Are you judging the situation correctly?

At this time, Zhang Juzheng remembered the three people sitting in the study. He was the least familiar with the situation in the southeast. The aspects he knew were all heard about. Even if he saw it with his own eyes, it was something on the surface. It can be said that he did not understand the problems at all. Although Luo Xin had not been in the southeast for a long time, he had been much longer than Zhang Juzheng. Not to mention Song Danian, he could already be regarded as a local snake in Hangzhou.

If he rashly takes over the burden, if one cannot handle it well, and detonates the Southeast powder barrel, wouldn't he take the blame?

"Haha..." Zhang Juzheng laughed before saying that: "No, we are old friends too. I have never said that you are under house arrest. I came to Hangzhou just to take a walk and take a look and report to Your Majesty what I saw and heard. Of course, if the local officials encounter difficulties, I will not stand by, but I just play an auxiliary role. In the end, the local officials will still solve the problem."

Luo Xin said with a smile: "Hangzhou is naturally dominated by Lord Song."

When Song Danian heard this, he waved his hand and said, "No, I'll listen to you."

Although Zhang Juzheng still kept a smile on his face, his heart was turbulent. He did not expect that Luo Xin had already subdued the Hangzhou prefect after only a few months of coming to Hangzhou. Looking at the appearance of the Hangzhou prefect Song Danian, he definitely looked like Luo Xin was following his command.

How is this possible?

You should know that Song Danian was a prefect and a fourth-rank official. Luo Xin was only a Tongzhi, a fifth-rank official. But now looking at these two people, it seems that it is exactly the opposite. It seems that Luo Xin was a fourth-rank official, while Song Danian was a Tongzhi.

At this time, Zhang Juzheng naturally knew how to do it and said to Luo Xin: "If you don't have a weapon, you can't sit idly."

Luo Xin smiled faintly and said, "That's a small matter."

"This is not a trivial matter!" Zhang Juzheng said anxiously: "First of all, you have to calm prices. Second, if you kill the Lu family, if the other five major families incite trouble, it will be a big mess. Third, tens of thousands of refugees flocked to Hangzhou, and there are countless Japanese pirates hidden among them. If these Japanese pirates do not resolve them, they can turn Hangzhou into a sea of ​​fire at any time.

No, these things are not fatal? Why did it become a trivial matter when you come to you?"

"Brother Taiyue, don't be impatient. Come and have a drink of tea." Luo Xin picked up the teapot and poured tea for Zhang Juzheng and Song Danian respectively: "These are not problems, they will always be solved."

"Then you will solve it! As long as you solve the problem, let alone drinking tea with you, I will accompany you even if you drink wine." Zhang Juzheng said angrily.

Luo Xin just smiled, and he kept changing three pots of tea, and the three of them went to the toilet several times, but Zhang Juzheng and Song Danian did not leave either. Song Danian could not leave, and now his fate was already with Luo Xinshu. If something was going to happen in Hangzhou, he was the chief of the prefect. Luo Xin never said a solution, how could he be willing to leave?

Zhang Juzheng had been thinking hard for a long time, but he had not come up with a solution to the problem, so he refused to leave. He was also an extremely proud person. Luo Xin just now ridiculed him for lacking the wisdom to solve the problem, but he wanted to see how Luo Xin would solve these three difficult problems.

The sound of footsteps sounded outside the door, and he saw Qi Jiguang, Luo Qing, He Nian and Wang Ziren walking in. Everyone greeted each other. After sitting down, after Lu Daqing served tea, Luo Xin looked at He Nian and said:

"how?"

He Nian's face emitted an excitement, and he opened with a booklet in his hand:

"Sir, the Lu family has accumulated 300,000 stones of food. This old turtle has stocked up so much food, but it doesn't sell it. It's really damn to see the price of grain in Hangzhou soaring."

"Don't be angry, he is dead!" Luo Xin said with a smile.

Everyone laughed, only Zhang Juzheng had a stern face. Because he was really unsure of the next issue. Luo Xin looked at Zhang Juzheng and Song Danian and said:

"Three hundred thousand stones of grain are enough for the whole Hangzhou people to eat for more than two months. There is no problem in stabilizing prices so much."

"You want to use this 300,000 stone of grain to hedge the price of grain?" Zhang Juzheng asked in a voice.

"No!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "Isn't it possible?"

"Of course. It's just..." Zhang Juzheng said seriously: "I guess you have already seen it. The soaring grain price this time was driven by these six major families. You only have 300,000 s of grain, and you are planning to sell it at a fair price, right?"

"Yes!" Luo Xin nodded.

Zhang Juzheng's expression became even more serious and said: "If you sell as much as you want, the remaining five major families will eat as much as you want, and then they will continue to raise prices. By that time, you have no food in your hands, so what about you?"

Luo Xin couldn't help but praise Zhang Juzheng in his heart. It was indeed the person who created the One Whip Technique and was clear about economic matters. However, Luo Xin's expression still calmly said:

"They won't do that."

"How can I see it?"

"First." Luo Xin stretched out a finger and said, "They don't have that much money."

"Will the six major families have no money?" Zhang Juzheng showed contempt on his face.

Luo Xin smiled and said, "Because I caught them in smuggling before, they lost a lot of money. Well, the three million taels of silver given to His Majesty was obtained by smuggling. So they would not have much working capital, and they could not eat 300,000 stones of food at all. If you don't believe it, ask him."

Seeing Luo Xin pointing at He Nian, Zhang Juzheng and Song Danian both looked at him. He Nian said with admiration:

"The master predicted it like a god. The cash and cash silver we found from the Lu family together were equivalent to 500,000 taels of silver."

Luo Xin nodded. Five hundred thousand taels of silver is a huge sum of money for ordinary people, but for the six major families, it is poverty, or something wrong with the business. Otherwise, there would be only 500 thousand taels.

Luo Xin looked at Zhang Juzheng again, and the gaze meant: "I understand?"

Zhang Juzheng's heart was thrilled and he thought to himself: "When Luo Xin was caught and smuggled, he already had the intention of killing the six major families, right?"

Seeing that Zhang Juzheng stopped talking, Luo Xin said to Wang Ziren again: "You send someone out to promote it, and you will rest assured that Luo Xin confiscated 300,000 stones of grain from Lu's house. If it is not enough for the people in Hangzhou to eat, Luo Xin will confiscate another one."

Zhang Juzheng and Song Danian both looked at Luo Xin with amusement and cry. These words were really spread. Even if the remaining five major families had working capital and the intention to eat the 300,000 stones of grain, would they still dare to hear these words?

If this were in the past, the six major families would never believe that a small Tongzhi would dare to confiscate the families and destroy the clans of their six major families. However, now that they have already confiscated one family and killed eighty-five people, how can the remaining five major families not be afraid? Although Luo Xin's words must have been spread in the form of a rumor. After leaving this house, who is asking Luo Xin, Luo Xin will not admit it. But will the remaining five major families dare not believe it?

"Brother Taiyue, do you think there will be any problems with the price of grain?"

Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said, "There should be no problem."

Luo Xin then looked at He Nian and said, "I will leave it to you to calm the price of grain, so don't make any mistakes."

"Yes, sir!" He Nian responded in surprise.

Logically speaking, this matter should be left to the Hangzhou magistrate Song Danian, but the Southeast officials became greedy, that is, the people of the Maritime Affairs Office were still honest, because they had no chance to be greedy, and they did not taste the benefits of greed. Luo Xin vigorously rectified the Maritime Affairs Office, so he did not trust Song Danian and those people. Those people became greedy, but no matter how dangerous the situation was, greed had blinded their eyes.

Song Danian had no objection at all and was still sitting there with a smile. He knew very well that the current situation was like walking on thin ice, and if there was a slight difference, he would be crushed to pieces. No one knew them better than him. If he gave them the 300,000 stones of grain, they would dare to embezzle 200,000 stones at all levels.

"Brother! Brother Yuan Jing." Luo Xin looked at Luo Qing and Qi Jiguang and said, "You two led 6,000 soldiers to live in various streets in Hangzhou City. Just waiting for all the refugees in the city to leave Hangzhou City, you immediately start searching me one by one. If there are people who sneak into the city and refuse to leave, they must be Japanese pirates. You don't have to hold back when you see them and kill them. I have only one request. After tomorrow, there will be no Japanese pirates in Hangzhou City."

"Brother, as long as you can expel those refugees, we will definitely be able to catch the Japanese pirates."

"You can't expel it!" Zhang Juzheng said anxiously: "No, if you expel it, the Japanese pirates will be in chaos."

"I don't need to expel me!" Luo Xin waved his hand and smiled: "The real refugee will leave on his own initiative."

"The plan will come out?" Zhang Juzheng asked disbelief. Song Danian, Qi Jiguang, Luo Qing and others also raised their ears.

"Fishing in a dry pond!" Luo Xin said lightly.

Zhang Juzheng's eyes lit up first, and then Song Danian's eyes lit up. Others' eyes showed confusion. Luo Xin looked at Song Danian and said:

"Mr. Song, I'll leave this matter to you. You set up hundreds of pots outside the city, discharge them from the city gate along the official road to the distance, and then let all three yamen runners go out to make porridge. The farther away from the city gate, the thicker the porridge in the pot, so the refugees will flock to the place where the porridge is thicker and the farther away from the city gate. When these refugees leave Hangzhou City, then the remaining people who refuse to leave are Japanese pirates."

Luo Xin looked at Zhang Juzheng and said, "Brother Taiyue, the Japanese pirate problem you are worried about has been solved."

Zhang Juzheng showed a look of admiration on his face and said, "I'm not as good as that."

Luo Xin was not humble either. Although he knew Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Juzheng was still young and was still restrained by Xu Jie. When Zhang Juzheng came to Hangzhou, he must have taken the task ordered by Xu Jie. Although Luo Xin also admired Zhang Juzheng, the two of them were now divided into two camps. Luo Xin was satisfied only by asking Zhang Juzheng not to cause trouble. Therefore, Luo Xin must show a kind of strength, a kind of strength that made Zhang Juzheng fear. Let Zhang Juzheng realize that if he dares to do some small moves in the southeast, Luo Xin would dare to kill him.

"Brother, General Qi. After killing the Japanese pirates, the ban on Hangzhou City began. You led three thousand soldiers to patrol day and night. Anyone who has evil behavior should be arrested! Those who dare to resist should be killed! You must make a big move, especially around the five major families, to scare them, and to scare those mechanics. Even if someone incites them, they will not dare to cause trouble."

Speaking of this, Luo Xin narrowed his eyes slightly, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes and said, "Eighty-five people have been killed today. After the fishing in the pond tomorrow, it is estimated that the number of Japanese pirates will be killed. With such two killings, many people will be much more timid. Brother Taiyue, what do you think?"

Zhang Juzheng nodded and sighed: "If you don't act thrillingly, Hangzhou will soon calm down. But... aren't you afraid that the five major families will impeach you?"

"Oh... this is a question." Luo Xin looked at He Nian and said, "What else has the Lu family confiscated?"

"There are also some jade and antiques. It's estimated that it's worth 8 million taels. If the Lu family's land and real estate are sold again, it should be worth 5 million taels."

"Very good!" Luo Xinzhan said with a smile: "When Hangzhou calms down, I will first send the jade and antiques worth 8 million taels of silver to His Majesty. With these antiques and jades, your Majesty will keep the memorials that impeach me for a while. Wait until the Lu family's real estate and land is sold, and then the silver is sent to His Majesty. By the way, Lord Song. I will write a memorial first. How about you and I jointly present these antiques and jades, as well as the sold land and real estate to His Majesty?"

Song Danian's face was filled with joy. Who wouldn't want to do such a thing as showing his face? He nodded repeatedly. Luo Xin immediately picked up a pen and wrote a memorial, and handed it to Song Danian. After Song Danian finished reading it, he picked up the pen and signed his name. Luo Xin handed the memorial to Song Danian and said:

"Mr. Song, I'll trouble you about this."

"Don't worry, Lord Luo, I will definitely let this memorial be presented to His Majesty as quickly as possible."

Half an hour later, everyone left one after another. Everyone was busy with their own affairs. Zhang Juzheng felt Luo Xin’s discomfort to him, and couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, and he was helpless. He said goodbye to Luo Xin and followed Song Danian to the prefect’s office.

After everyone left, Luo Xin only took Lu Daqing and Wan Daquan, dressed and obediently walked out of the back door. He walked around the street for a few turns and then arrived at a door.

Standing in front of the door, Luo Xin waved his hand, and Lu Daqing stepped forward and knocked on the door. The door was silent. Lu Daqing knocked a few more times, but the door was still silent.

"Marty, there is no one inside!" Lu Daqing turned around and said.

Luo Xin looked up and down at the courtyard, but it was really inconspicuous. No one would have thought that this would be a secret base of the Jinyiwei. If it weren't for Luo Xin's escort agency finding it out and telling him, he would have really never thought it would have been. Seeing that he didn't respond, Luo Xin said lightly:

"I'll listen, brother Jinyiwei inside, please open the door, otherwise I will break the door."

There was still no sound inside, Luo Xin said lightly: "Break the door."

Please give me a monthly ticket! Please give me a recommendation ticket!
