Emperor Jiajing closed his eyes again and said coldly: "Remember!"

"Abide by the order!" Huang Jin picked up the stack of paper and said softly: "In half a year, a total of thirty-two vassal caravans entered the country. The total value of the goods they brought was 123 million taels. When they left the Ming Dynasty, they loaded goods worth 112 million taels of white eyes."

Emperor Jiajing opened his eyes and showed a look of shock in his eyes. He did not expect that the transaction volume was so large. Compared with those merchants, he was so poor. Of course, he also knew that this was just the transaction volume, so he asked in a deep voice:

"How much can Maritime Corporation earn?"

"The seasons are different, and the prices of goods are also different. We took a minimum conservative value, and the Maritime Corporation should earn at least six million taels."

"How many?" Emperor Jiajing sat upright.

"At least six million taels."

"Six million taels!" Emperor Jiajing's eyes were filled with anger: "I thought they had just swallowed one million taels of mine, but now they have swallowed four million taels of mine. They took the big head and gave it to me a small head. They are really my good ministers. How dare they?"

"This..." Huang Jin said softly: "The ones left for the local government and Hu Zongxian need to be removed. The money costs about 800,000 taels, and the amounts escorted to Beijing should be at least 5 million taels."

"That is to say, I'm missing three million taels?"

"Your Majesty's wise!"

Emperor Jiajing pondered for a moment and said, "Would it be wrong? Luo Xin didn't make so much money at the beginning."

"Different!" Huang Jin said: "Luo Xin had just won a great situation. With Luo Xin's departure, the Maritime Bureau became famous, and more and more businessmen from the vassal states came to the Ming Dynasty, so he made more money."

Emperor Jiajing nodded, and his eyes ejaculated again and said, "What about my silver? What about the three million taels of silver? Why didn't the Maritime Bureau collect taxes? Why didn't Zhang Shijie's account book?"

"Smuggling!" Huang Jin said softly.

"Smuggling?" Emperor Jiajing raised his eyebrows and said, "Will that businessman dare to be so bold? Have they forgotten Shen Wansan?"

"Not a businessman."

"Who is that? Who is so bold?"

"Maichuang Department!" Huang Jin's voice was even lower: "This time the account book was Hu Zongxian's intentionality, and sent people to monitor the docks every day and record the number of unloading and loading of merchants in the vassal state. This is absolutely not wrong. Moreover, the people from the East Factory also secretly contacted some merchants, especially the five major families. The five major families provided their account books, and their transaction volume was indeed much smaller than the list of goods provided by Hu Zongxian. Moreover, the five major families and many merchants proposed that the Maritime Corporation did not allow them to board the ships of some merchants in the vassal state. They did not trade with those merchants in the vassal state, but those merchants in the vassal state also sold goods and bought goods and left."

"Bang!"

Emperor Jiajing threw the teacup on the ground and said angrily: "Go and notify Lu Bing and ask him to send someone to catch Zhang Shijie back to me."

Luo Mansion.

Luo Xin was teasing the child while holding the child, when he heard Lu Daqing's voice outside the door:

"Mr. Marquis, there are guests coming."

"who?"

"Your colleague, Ma Qingshan, Lord Ma."

"He's the only one?"

"No, dozens of them, it seems that your colleagues are here."

Luo Xin smiled on his face, and Lu Rudai, who was sitting opposite him, raised his nose and said, "Your plan has succeeded, why don't you go quickly?"

"How do you speak?" Luo Xin stared.

"Hehehe..." Lu Rudai covered her mouth and chuckled. Then she got up and walked up to her, stretched out her hands and said, "Give me the child."

Luo Xin handed the child to Lu Rudai, then walked out of the room and walked towards the hall.

As soon as he walked into the hall, Luo Xin was happy. As Lu Daqing said, all the officials of the left son of the Zhan Shifu were neatly arranged. When he saw Luo Xin coming in, he saluted Luo Xin and said:

"I've met Lord Luo."

Luo Xin glanced at him and saw that there had been a chair in the hall. After returning the gift with a smile, he walked to the seat in the center of the upper head and sat down, and then invited dozens of officials to sit down. As soon as he looked at him, a strange feeling appeared in his heart. He felt that if a plaque was hanging above with the three big words "Juyi Hall" written on it, he would really want to swim in Liangshan. He held back his smile and looked at everyone and said:

"Everyone, I'm here to the humble house so late, but is there something wrong?"

Everyone's eyes were gathered on Ma Qingshan. Ma Qingshan stood up and bowed to Luo Xinshen and said:

"Mr. Luo, please save us."

"Why do you say this? Is it difficult for you again?"

"Why can we do anything more difficult?" Ma Qingshan smiled bitterly: "The people from the Ministry of Personnel come and go three times a day and stare at us tightly. Now our family can't get rid of the blame. You are resourceful, please point out a clear way for the humble one."

Luo Xin pondered silently, and the dozens of officials stood up and bowed to Luo Xin deeply and said:

"Please point me a clear way."

Luo Xin was still pondering and the officials bent down at Luo Xin again, and then they stopped straightening. Luo Xin sighed and said:

"Please come up with all my colleagues."

"Sir, please save us for the sake of your colleagues." The officials did not get up, but said again in unison.

"This matter...is also embarrassing to me!" A sad look appeared on Luo Xin's face.

"Sir, we are all your subordinates. We will do whatever we ask us to do, and we will follow our leaders. We will never regret it."

A smile appeared on Luo Xin's face and said, "Dear colleagues, please sit down, let's discuss it."

Seeing Luo Xin letting go, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Luo Xin was willing to discuss, it would be easy. Luo Xin's reputation was not for nothing, it was obtained through victory after victory. Everyone sat down one after another, and Luo Xin asked with a smile:

"I'm here after the value is set, right?"

"Yes!" Everyone nodded neatly.

"In this way, haven't you eaten yet?"

"oh……"

Everyone's faces showed a look of embarrassment. Now they still have the heart to eat? After more than ten days of suffering, these people really can't bear it anymore. Although they won't be able to lose their money at home, and there are still some savings at home. But everyone knows very well that as long as this situation continues, it won't take long, and in just half a year, their savings will be gone, and then they will not be able to eat, or they can only eat braised vegetables, and they will not even have money to cultivate the next generation. Therefore, they discussed for several days in a row, but couldn't think of a good idea, so they made a collective visit to ask Luo Xin. Once this mind was decided, it would be worth it, and everyone rushed over in a hurry, and there was no need to eat?

Seeing everyone's embarrassing appearance, Luo Xin couldn't help but smile and said, "Then let's have a meal first."
