Mingshi

Chapter 992

"It's not a question of whether you're afraid or not. A good relationship with the Xu family will also be good for your Shibo department. If you are determined not to give face to the teacher's family, wouldn't it be a waste of time if the young masters of the teacher's family make trouble for you?" His Majesty's taxes?

The most important thing is that the participation of the teacher's family will not delay your tax collection.Why do you refuse such a thing that kills two birds with one stone? "

Xu Shixing pondered for a moment, feeling very disgusted with the young masters of Xu's mansion.But he also knew that what Zhang Juzheng said was right. He did not have the rights that Luo Xin had given him by Emperor Jiajing when he came to the southeast. He did not have the rights to deal with officials below the third rank, and he did not have the army in his hands like Luo Xin.If the young masters of the local snake Xu's family really tripped him up, he would really be devastated.So, he said seriously:

"My lord, I can agree to the participation of the Xu family. But you have to tell the Xu family that no tax will be missed."

"There's no problem!" Zhang Juzheng said with a relaxed expression, "If there is a tax problem, not only will you and I lose face, but the teacher's face will also be unsightly. The teacher will not allow such a thing to happen."

Therefore, the Xu Mansion also established a company and began to openly trade with merchants from the feudal kingdom.That's all.However, the Xu family didn't just want to participate, they wanted to monopolize the people in Daming Maritime Trade, such as the five great families headed by the Lu family.In particular, Lu Bing died, and in the eyes of the Xu family, the Lu family no longer had any threats.

Therefore, they even took the initiative to cut prices and trade with the merchants of the vassal state, so as to squeeze the business space of Ming Dynasty.

At this point, things start to spin out of control.

It was impossible for Xu Shixing to clear Xu Fu out.Because the Xu Mansion has already contacted the merchants of the vassal state and has a market.Moreover, Xu Shixing couldn't just invite Xu's mansion out like this, because Xu's mansion didn't pay a single cent of tax. go out.

However, Xu Shixing already had a feeling of uneasiness, he always felt that things were out of his control.But don't know how to change this situation.At this time, he felt the gap between himself and Luo Xin.

Fortunately, what reassures him is that his taxes are not low.

The five heads of Lu Dingneng's family had looked for Xu Shixing, and Xu Shixing had also been to Xu's residence.I hope that the Xu Mansion can stabilize the price and not maliciously compete. In this way, there will be no benefit except for cheap businessmen from the vassal state.

However, Xu Fu told Xu Shixing that this was a legitimate competition.If Daming Haimao can't afford it, then don't play it.

As a result, this vicious competition continued like this.Now, the Xu Mansion has suppressed the profits to a very thin level, and the five great families couldn't stand it anymore.

In fact, it's not to say that they can't stand it anymore. They have made a lot of money through sea trade in the past two years.It's just that no matter how much you earn, if you continue like this, you will lose money on every transaction!If you lose like this, who will do it?
In fact, at this time, everyone knows that the Xu family's intention is to squeeze out the five great families even if they lose money temporarily, and then they will monopolize the sea, and then raise the price.

Luo Xinxin was angry when he heard Lu Daqing come in and told him that Lu Yi was visiting.Luo Xin sighed, knowing that this should be a letter from Lu Ding.

Went to the flower hall, met Lu Yi, and it was indeed a letter from Lu Ding, Luo Xin read the letter.He explained the situation in detail in his mind, and finally Lu Ding only asked one question.

"How to do?"

Luo Xin put away the letter, and Lu Yi asked, "My lord, what should I do? My uncle said, you can do whatever you say, even if you don't want this Daming Haimao."

"Then don't do it!" Luo Xin said lightly.

"what?"

Lu Yi looked at Luo Xin in surprise, Luo Xin smiled lightly and said, "Tell Lu Ding and the others to let go."

"Really let go?"

Luo Xin nodded and said: "With the greed of the Xu family, once Daming Haimao withdraws, they will make the trouble worse. Now because Daming Haimao is here, they are doing their best to deal with Daming Haimao, and they dare not offend the government. On behalf of Xu Shixing. However, once Daming Maritime Trade has completely withdrawn and the Xu Mansion has won an absolute victory, with their greed, how can they not recover the losses from suppressing Daming Maritime Trade before? At that time, their enemies will only be representatives of the government It's time for Xu Shi."

"What can they do to Xu Shixing? Xu Shixing is not a businessman, he just collects taxes. Does the Xu family dare to plan taxation?"

"Yes, they will! Once there is a tax problem, His Majesty will know immediately. And I firmly believe that Xu Shixing will not hide it. At that time, Xu Jie will be involved."

"Your target is Xu Jie?"

"Let's take one step at a time. It's just that the five great families are going to be wronged for the time being."

"You said it was temporary?" Lu Yi's eyes lit up. To be honest, the Lu family was extremely reluctant to let the Lu family abandon such a big business.

"Of course!" Luo Xin said with a smile: "When His Majesty finds out that all this is caused by the Xu Mansion, he will eventually hand over the rights of the sea trade to the five great families to get everything back on track, because His Majesty is a person who is afraid of trouble. "

"That's good, I'll go back and inform my uncle."

After sending Lu Yi away, Luo Xin sighed, and murmured in a low voice, "I'm afraid Xu Shixing will be wronged. And Hu Zongxian, I'm afraid he will be involved too."

Luo Xin returned to the study, picked up a pen and wrote a letter, then put the letter away, and left Luo Mansion.

Now that Dongchang and Jinyiwei are under Luo Xin's control, Luo Xin no longer has to worry about someone following him.It's just that he turned around cautiously, and finally came to Maosheng Hutong.

First, she and Wang Cuiqiao lingered on the bed for a while, then took out the letter and handed it to Wang Cuiqiao:

"Send this letter to Luo Sheng and ask him to follow the plan in the letter."

the next day.
At dusk, Luo Ping came back from the barracks.After finishing dinner with his father, Luo Xin followed his father to Luo Ping's study.Seeing that Luo Xin followed him into the study, and there were Lu Daqing and Wan Daquan guarding outside the study, Luo Ping's expression became serious, and he said in a low voice:

"what's going on?"

Luo Xin explained the matter to his father in detail, and finally said: "Father, now that Dongchang and Jinyiwei are in our hands, how about the Fifth Army Battalion?"

Luo Ping's eyes showed confidence and said: "I dare not say that I control the Fifth Army Battalion, but as long as Weifu gives an order, one-third of the Fifth Army Battalion will obey Weifu's order."

"So many people have been developed?" Luo Xin asked in surprise.
