All right!

Even if Xu Jie trusts Lu Bing and joins forces with Lu Bing to divide the Maritime Warehouse Department, will Lu Bing dare to entrust his descendants to Xu Jie?

Even if he dares, will Xu Jie take care of him afterwards?

Therefore, Lu Bing will inevitably continue to join forces with Luo Xin, which gives Luo Xin more confidence. As long as Lu Bing can restrain Xu Jie, Daming Hai Trade Company has a great possibility to persist and fight against Zhang Shijie.

Therefore, Lu Bing is very important in this regard, and of course the other four major families are also very important. They must be allowed to mobilize all their forces to fight against Xu Jie.

But that's not enough.

We must win the support of Emperor Jiajing. Only the support of Emperor Jiajing can we make a final decision.

Luo Xin returned to the study, picked up his pen, and wrote the memorial while thinking. He thoroughly analyzed the relationship between the Maritime Trade and the Daming Sea Trade. In the memorial, he did not hide the greed of the Shilin family and the officialdom. He said bluntly that if the Daming Sea Trade was completely handed over to the government, it would be like the land of the Ming Dynasty. In no time, 90% of the profits would be divided by the Shilin family and corrupt officials, and then the Ming Dynasty's finances would be paralyzed again.

What is the problem with land?

If farmers have no land to plant, what will be the result of those Ming merchants and vassal state merchants after the Maritime Warehouse Division is divided in the future?

No money to make money!

What should I do if I don’t have money to make?

Smuggling!

Then... the Maritime Service became a completely empty space. The Ming Dynasty would never want to make a profit from the Maritime Service. It was impossible for him to get back on track at that time, because no one would trust the government, and it would be useless to send him Luo Xin back.

In short, Luo Xin's memorial was written very straightforward, very direct, and very naked. He quoted extensively and revised it three times before he put down his pen. He looked up and found Lu Daqing standing in front of him.

"Daqing! What's the matter?"

"Marty, the heads of the five major families are here."

“How long have you been here?”

"It's been an hour and a half."

"Why don't you call me?" Luo Xin frowned slightly.

"The little one knocked on the door, but the marquis didn't respond. The little one came in boldly, but when he saw the marquis thinking about things, he didn't bother him."

"Um!"

Luo Xin nodded, put away the memorial, and then stood up and walked towards the second hall. When he arrived at the second hall, he saw Lu Ding and the other two sitting there with a worried look on his face. When Luo Xin walked in, he stood up and bowed:

"I've seen an adult."

"Sit!" Luo Xin asked everyone to sit down, his eyes swept across everyone, and finally landed on Lu Ding's face and said, "Wen Lu should know, right?"

"I understand!" Lu Ding nodded worriedly, "Everyone knows that sir is going to go back to Beijing and promote."

"I can't say that high promotion is here, I just don't feel at ease."

"We are not at ease!" Lu Ding said with a sad face: "You, Xu Jie, are both corrupt officials, like Yan Song. The people in the capital don't know, don't we know yet? We live next to the Xu Mansion. How rich are they? There are nearly 300,000 acres of fertile land alone. Xu Jie is an official, and his family only has dozens of acres of fertile land. How long has it been, and he will rely on his salary?

Zhang Shijie must have come to Hangzhou with Xu Jie's mission. Sir, what should we do? Give me an idea."

"Yes, sir, give me an idea!" the other four people also said in the same voice.

"Don't panic!" Luo Xin smiled and said, "The Maritime Bureau relies on the Daming Sea Trade, and everyone knows the composition of the Daming Sea Trade. The government doesn't count, and everyone agrees."

"We know this!" Lu Ding said with a bitter face: "But what should Zhang Shijie do if he is unreasonable? He is an official, and we are a civilian."

"You need to fight for this." Luo Xin said in a narrow voice: "This is your money. Zhang Shijie is going to rob your money. Don't have the idea of ​​giving Zhang Shijie a concession. If you dare to give him a profit, Zhang Shijie will dare to rob you a profit of 10%. Therefore, you must chop off Zhang Shijie's claws when the first time he stretched out his claws. Even if he couldn't chop off his claws, he would still chop him up.

Mobilize the forces behind you, so that everyone in your clan who is in charge of watching this place, always preparing to impeach Zhang Shijie. Especially Weng Lu, Governor Lu has a clear role at this time."

"But..." Lu Ding smiled bitterly: "Sir, did we use all our strength at the beginning? But you were not integrated into the Southeast? We can't beat the government."

The other four heads of the family had the same expression, but Luo Xin shook his head and said, "This is not the time, and the situation is already different."

“How is it different?”

All five people looked at Luo Xin. In fact, they had already gained huge benefits from the Ming Hai Trade Market, allowing them to give up their benefits. They had the heart to fight desperately. They were just worried that even if they worked hard, they could beat Zhang Shijie.

"First of all, you must be clear that when I came to the southeast, it was the general trend. This general trend is that Your Majesty wants to open the Maritime Trade Department and use the maritime trade to solve the Ming Dynasty's finances. Therefore, I have received the full support of Your Majesty.

Therefore, I have the imperial edict from Your Majesty that I can kill officials below the third rank. May I ask, does Zhang Zhijie have it?"

"No!" Lu Ding and the other two had a lit up eyes.

"So, I have Qi Jiguang's assistance. However, according to the news I received, Your Majesty did not return Qi Jiguang to Zhang Shijie's subordinates. After I left, Qi Jiguang would return to Hu Zongxian's management.

So, at that time, you were against me, and that was to go against the trend. I had Qi Jiguang's army and had imperial edicts. I dared to kill the officials who were constantly mobilized. I dared to destroy the entire Lu family. And did Zhang Shijie dare?

He had no imperial edict or army in his hands. Even if he dared, he would not have the ability.

At that time, you were hindering Your Majesty from making money. Now you are helping Your Majesty make money. Zhang Shijie wanted to steal money from Your Majesty, and the situation was completely different.

At that time, even Governor Lu did not dare to go against the trend, so he chose to support me. But now it is different. Zhang Shijie has no army and no imperial edict, so he is like being bound by his hands and feet. You have a lot to do."

Lu Ding and the other two released an excitement in their eyes.

yes!

If Luo Xin had no army or imperial edict in his hands, would he dare to kill the imperial officials on the spot? Did he dare to suddenly kill the Lu family?

Even Luo Xin can’t do it, let alone Zhang Shijie?

"And..." Luo Xin said lightly: "Zhang Shijie does not have the wisdom and ability of his official."

Lu Ding and the other two agreed with this. They were so clear about Luo Xin's wisdom and ability. If they had changed to someone whose wisdom and ability were not as good as Luo Xin, and they had no army, and there was no imperial edict, would they have to be so scared?
