Mingshi

Chapter 1001 What to do?
"The news has not been reported to His Majesty, has it?"

"No! Nowadays His Majesty rarely summons us Jin Yiwei. Only when His Majesty asks, we will report to His Majesty."

Luo Xin nodded, and said lightly: "When reporting to His Majesty, don't talk about the monopoly of the five great families."

"Understood!" Liu Shou nodded.

Luo Xin left Jia's House and went to Maosheng Hutong again. He only told Wang Cuiqiao to ask people to help those who were bankrupted by Xu Kun and Xu Ying to come to the capital to sue.

Hangzhou.

Deng Xiange.

Xu Kun and Xu Ying hosted a banquet for various small and medium-sized businessmen in Hangzhou. At the same time, Xu Luqing and Zhang Juzheng visited Hu Zongxian again.

In Dengxian Pavilion, after Xu Kun finished speaking, no one said a word. Xu Kun and Xu Ying sat there with sullen faces.

"Crack!" Xu Ying couldn't bear it first, slapped the table and shouted, "You guys are making a noise!"

Everyone looked at each other, but still no one spoke.Xu Kun stretched out his hand to stop his younger brother, and said in a concentrated voice:
"Everyone, now that the five great families are watching us die, our Xu family can't pass this test, and you don't want to have a good life in the future. Do you think that once the five great families turn around in the future, they will let you go?"

Xu Kun pointed at those people and said, "We are on a boat. If the boat capsizes, everyone will die. Now we need to work together. Even if we lose money this time, we will make it back next time."

Seeing that everyone still didn't speak, Xu Ying slapped the table again and said, "If you want to skip the pass, don't blame our Xu family for being rude."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's expressions were very ugly, and no one spoke.

"You can speak up if you have any suggestions, let's discuss it." Xu Kun said in a deep voice, he pretended to be red, and Xu Ying pretended to be innocent.

After he said this, a businessman finally said, "Second Young Master, you said just now that even if we lose money this time, we can make it back next time. May I ask Second Young Master, how do we make money? Pirates are on the sea, unless you can Kill the pirates."

Xu Kun smiled lightly and said: "My eldest brother and Zhifu Zhang have already visited Dudu Hu, and Dudu Hu will definitely send out sailors again to wipe out the pirates."

"Captain Hu? Kill the pirates?"

"What?" Xu Kun said with displeasure on his face, "Although the Daming navy was defeated last time, it was just a lack of preparation. Master Hu will definitely send a more powerful navy this time to wipe out the pirates."

"Lord Hu has never destroyed pirates before." Someone muttered in a low voice.

"Nonsense, Mr. Hu never killed pirates, so who killed Xu Hai and other pirates back then?"

"Second Young Master, you are also a native of the southeast, so you don't know that Lord Luo killed it?"

"you……"

"Second son, we are all locals. We know the Daming Navy very well, and we also know the pirates very well. There is no one easy to mess with pirates who can sail on the sea. That is to say, Master Luo Xinluo can destroy pirates. But there is only one military god in the entire Ming Dynasty.

So, this time we won't accompany the Second Young Master. The Second Young Master's family has a big business and can afford compensation, but our small family has a small business, so we can't afford it!The old man pleaded guilty and took his leave first. "

As soon as he left, people stood up to say goodbye.In less than a quarter of an hour, only Xu Kun and Xu Ying were left in the restaurant.

"Bang!" Xu Kun finally couldn't help but flipped the table.

"Second brother..." Xu Ying's face also lost her arrogance and became pale.

"Let's go back and see the result of the elder brother's visit to Hu Zongxian."

Suzhou.

Dudufu.

Hu Zongxian faced Zhang Juzheng and Xu Luqing and said: "My duty is to prevent pirates from entering the Ming Dynasty. Now that they are at sea, they are not within the scope of my duty. And last time I suffered serious losses for you. No compensation was given to the officer.”

Zhang Juzheng said in a deep voice: "My lord, as an official of the Ming Dynasty, how can you be afraid of the enemy and not fight?"

"Crack!" Hu Zongxian slapped the table fiercely and said, "Presumptuous! Zhang Taiyue, don't think that I don't know anything. Xu Jie is really a good official. One is Xu Jie's favorite student, and the other is Xu Jie's unicorn son." , the two of you greedily kicked the five great families out of Haimao for some gold and silver, breaking the rules left by Mr. Luo. As a result, there is no deal to do, and the Shibo Department cannot collect customs duties. You are desperate, run away You came to beg this official, but failed to ask this official, and even abused this official. This official will definitely impeach Xu Jieyi."

"My lord!" Xu Luqing hurriedly said, "We can help the Daming Navy send troops."

"Don't dare to ask for it! Come and see off the guests."

"Master Hu, you are in the southeast to eliminate pirates, this is your duty."

Hu Zongxian curled his lips in disdain and said: "If you have the ability, let His Majesty make an order! If you don't have the ability, just let me go."

City ship division.

Half a month passed, and Xu Shixing was already in a state of desperation. All day long, the merchants from the vassal states gathered in the Shibo Department and asked Xu Shixing, when can the transaction be made?
Xu Shixing also went to find Xu Luqing repeatedly, but now Xu Luqing has no choice but also dare not make the decision, because if he wants to organize the supply of goods, he will definitely lose money, and the loss is not a little bit, the most important thing is, not this time, but in the future They have to be traded at this price, even if the Xu family is rich, it is not enough to pay.Therefore, he has already sent a letter to Xu Jie, and now he can only wait for the news.

He also went to visit the five great families one by one, but all of them were rejected.Not to mention him, even Zhang Juzheng and Xu Shixing were forced to have no choice but to visit the five great families, but the heads of the five great families did not face each other at all. The steward told them that the heads of the five great families all went to the north to open up new lands. The trade route has gone.

Xu Jie received Xu Luqing's letter, and dozens of hairs turned gray overnight.He knew it was a big deal this time.Now the entire Ming Dynasty relies on the tariffs of the Shibo Division. If the tariffs are gone, let alone Emperor Jiajing, even those officials can tear him apart.

The reason is simple. Without tariffs, officials would no longer be able to pay their salaries.

Do you think the high arch is a display?
Gao Gong will never let go of this opportunity!

And even the officials who are in the same camp as him will be extremely disappointed with him.

The two sons of your Xu family have lost the tariffs. If you say that your Xu family has not received huge benefits, who will believe it?

However, the Xu family can't jump into this pit. If they jump in, they can lose Xu Jie's fortune in a year.Even if you lose everything, it won't solve the problem.When the Xu family was unable to pay, the tariffs would disappear, and things would return to the original point. He, Xu Jie, would still face the wrath of Emperor Jiajing and the officials.
