Chapter 1163 To Hangzhou

Luo Xin nodded and said: "Repel Franji and bring Luzon into the territory. Franji will not give up. The greed of the colonists is endless, and they will definitely entangle the multinational coalition forces to attack Luzon again. The so-called multinational The coalition forces are the group of mobs in Malacca. You annihilate where Luzon will invade, and then take advantage of the trend to occupy Malacca."

"In this way, we have great righteousness. We acted to protect the Ming Dynasty's expatriates in Luzon. In this way, the nearly [-] local expatriates must be grateful to us and will serve us. As long as we treat the Luzon royal family well, those indigenous people will also welcome us. .

After occupying Luzon and Malacca, we operated trade routes and gave protection to all business groups, including European business groups.This is bound to divide a group of forces in Europe.Make it impossible for Spain and France to completely block the business routes to Europe. "

Speaking of this, Luo Xin sneered and said: "When we pacify Koryo and the Japanese pirates on the sea, at that time, it will not be Spain and France that blockade us, but we will take the initiative to attack them. We must occupy the sea. Channel. Because we have the strength."

Luo Sheng's eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously.

"No, I will go back tomorrow and transfer a group of people from Taiwan to the Wa Kingdom to manage the Wa Kingdom. At the same time, let the Ryukyu royal family go to Ryukyu. Then I will wait for your order near the Daming Sea. As long as you give an order, within half a year, we will The Japanese pirates at sea will definitely be wiped out."

Luo Xin nodded and said: "When the pirates at sea are cleared up, some pirates will inevitably flee into Malacca. You don't need to pay attention to those pirates. When you attack Malacca, just kill them all."

The next day.

Luo Xin, who discussed with Luo Sheng all night, left on Wang Cuiqiao's boat.And Luo Sheng also left.At this time, Luo Sheng was no longer envious of Luo Qing, because he seemed to have seen the battle that he would never finish fighting in his life, and he was also full of yearning for the Europe, America and Australia that Luo Xin described.

Facing the sea breeze, standing on the deck, looking at the clouds in the sky, he recalled the conversation with Luo Xin last night.He once asked Luo Xin why he didn't just overthrow Daming and become the emperor?

He didn't think of Luo Xin's answer at all. Luo Xin told him seriously that Daming was too small, compared with the world, it was too small.Once he becomes the emperor of Ming Dynasty, he will be confined in the palace, and he may not have the chance to leave the capital in his whole life.

Luo Xin’s ideal is not like this. Luo Xin wants to travel the world in his lifetime. After he solves Daming’s problems and makes Daming stable and peaceful, he will leave Daming and take Luo Qing and Luo Sheng to travel the world. ...

In Luo Sheng's view, Luo Xin is going to fight all over the world.

Thinking of this, Luo Sheng became excited and his blood boiled.

Luo Xin once again set foot on the land of Daming, and Wang Cuiqiao also left. The next task is also very heavy for Wang Cuiqiao.She wants to provoke civil strife in Korea within three months.

After seven days.

Luo Xin came to the southeast of Hangzhou again. When Luo Xin arrived in Hangzhou, he revealed his identity and lived in Zhang Juzheng's magistrate's yamen with a high profile.Now Luo Xin's status has surpassed that of Zhang Juzheng.Moreover, Zhang Juzheng and Luo Xin are also from different camps.

In fact, there is no comparison between Zhang Juzheng and Luo Xin at this time.Zhang Juzheng was not the leader of their camp, the leader was Xu Jie.Although the Xu Party is now much stronger than Luo Xin's camp.But Luo Xin is the leader of his camp.Therefore, Zhang Juzheng was very polite to Luo Xin.According to the number of etiquette.

When Luo Xin came to Hangzhou, he participated in high-profile cultural meetings, business gatherings, official gatherings, visited government schools, visited the Shipbuilding Department, and visited the Daming Maritime Trade Hall.

Moreover, several days of meetings were held with various families and businesses to improve business terms and formulate new norms. Among these norms, the ability of the government was weakened, forming an unprecedented mechanism.The government cannot participate in commercial transactions. Basically, the government has only three functions.First, reasonable taxation.As for how much tax to collect, Luo Xin didn't mention it, and those merchants and aristocratic families also thought that it would be the same one out of [-], so they didn't mention it either.Second, protect the interests of businesses.In other words, once there are rogues or pirates, the government will send troops.Third, supervision.This is to maintain fairness.

During this period, all merchants and aristocratic families also repeatedly asked Luo Xin when they would be able to eradicate the pirates at sea and reopen the Shibo Department.

They were too anxious. It had been more than a year, not to mention more than a year, even a month, and the sum of their losses was in millions of taels.

Luo Xin smiled and said: "Everyone, everyone knows this is not an easy task. The Daming Navy is far from being as powerful as it was when Zheng He went to the West. Not to mention the resurgent Japanese pirates today, and those ten years ago Franji who attacked Guangdong, they were all staring at the fat piece of Daming. The Japanese pirates have been raging in Daming for decades, and I am not a god, so I can’t wipe out the Japanese pirates with a single wave. Not for long."

"That's good!"

Although everyone's hearts were still up and down, but with Luo Xin's promise, they were still at ease.Because in their memory, Luo Xin never lies.If you say it can be solved, it will definitely be solved.Seeing everyone's expressions of calm down, Luo Xin said again:
"Everyone, as the saying goes, sharpening knives does not cut firewood by mistake. Before the Shibo Division reopens, you also have a lot of things to do. The treaty of Daming Maritime Trade has yet to be improved. And you have to remember that Daming Maritime Trade wants to To develop steadily and to work together, you need to show noble qualities. Otherwise, even if there are no Japanese pirates, you may not make money in the future. Even if you make money, you may not be able to keep the money."

Those who understood, and those who did not understand, nodded one after another.

Luo Xin spent every day in Hangzhou in a half-busy and half-leisure manner.

this day.

Luo Xin finally received the news, looking at the secret letter that Emperor Jiajing gave him, he couldn't help but slam his lips, and thought to himself:
"Emperor Jiajing is more ruthless than me. I don't know how Emperor Jiajing talked with Xu Jie and Gao Gong in the end. Anyway, Emperor Jiajing finally agreed to completely hand over the northern mutual market to the court, and his internal treasury will no longer participate. .But it raised the tax rate of the mutual market to one out of ten."

Luo Xin pondered for a while. It should be that Emperor Jiajing wanted to completely occupy the Northern Mutual Market at the beginning, and the asking price was too ruthless.Moreover, in the subsequent negotiations, Emperor Jiajing's attitude was extremely tough.In the end, Emperor Jiajing suddenly handed over the Northern Mutual Market to the court, but only raised the tax rate of the Mutual Market to one out of ten.
