"No!" Luo Xin shook his head and said, "Let the five major families participate in this time to relieve the Xu family. With the five major families participating again, the Xu family can get out. After the matter is over, the Xu family will make a comeback, and the final result will be the five major families suffer."

"Then...what should we do?"

"The Xu family must suffer a big loss so that they will never dare to participate in the maritime trade again."

"How can the Xu family suffer a great loss?"

Lu Yi's eyes lit up. He was deeply hated for Xu Jie at this time. As soon as his father passed away, the Xu family kicked his family out of Daming Haimao. Originally, after Lu Bing's death, the Lu family lost a lot of wealth, and Daming Haimao was their main source of wealth. Now he was kicked out by the Xu family. Taking money from others is like killing his parents. How could Lu Yi not hate him?

He was eager to bring Xu Jie down too.

"Nothing needs to be done! I don't think it will take long before Xu Shixing and Zhang Juzheng will visit your uncle. Just ignore it."

Lu Yi thought and said, "Sir, your consciousness is that we will never participate. In this way, the Maritime Bureau will not be able to collect tariffs, and Your Majesty will be furious. Tracing the origin, you will naturally trace the Xu family?"

"good!"

"But... the Xu family had kicked out the five major families at a low price, which proves that they still make money. If the Xu family still traded with the vassal states at the previous price, the Maritime Bureau could still charge tariffs."

"No!" Luo Xin smiled and said, "Southeast silk, porcelain and tea are in the hands of the five major families controlled by 70% of the city. Previously, because the small and medium-sized merchants still had some inventory in their hands, and in order to climb the Xu family, they sold the inventory to the Xu family with almost no profit. They hoped that after the Xu family monopolized the maritime trade, they would raise the price, so that they would make a big profit. Compared with the future big profit, the previous losses were nothing.

However, now the price cannot be raised, and the inventory in their hands is gone. Once the supply is organized, 70% of the supply is monopolized by the five major families, so they will naturally not be sold to them. They can only go to a further place to purchase. Then the cost will increase. They can't make money at all, and they will lose money. The more transactions they trade, the more they lose. Therefore, the Xu family can no longer trade with merchants from the vassal states. Without the transaction, how can the Maritime Bureau collect taxes?"

Lu Yi's eyes released an excitement: "Will this involve Xu Jie?"

"The involvement will involve some, but it is unlikely to kick Xu Jie out of the cabinet. However, it will weaken his rights in the cabinet a lot, and Gao Gong will not miss this opportunity. Mr. Lu, don't worry, the officialdom is just a process of stewing frogs in warm water."

"Bang!"

Xu Jie slapped the table hard and shouted angrily: "Illness!"

"Father……"

"You see it yourself!"

Xu Luqing picked up two letters on the table, one from Zhang Juzheng and the other from his younger brother Xu Kun. He quickly read the two letters. The contents of the letters were similar, but Zhang Juzheng's letters were much more important, but Xu Kun's letters complained too much.

Xu Luqing believed Zhang Juzheng's letter without hesitation, and his face changed slightly:

"Have Xu Shixing reported to His Majesty?"

"Taiyue said that she was there, she was there."

"Xu Shixing didn't send a letter to his father?"

"No!" Xu Jie sighed and said, "It is his responsibility to not collect tariffs. I am afraid that he is very resentful towards our Xu family. Taiyue said that Xu Shixing is also very resentful towards him, and he will impeach Taiyue in the memorial."

"Madam too much."

"Not too much!" Xu Jie said lightly: "I'm afraid Xu Shixing is no longer ours."

Xu Luqing's expression changed: "Father, what are you saying?"

"I had a doubt that Luo Xin had a conspiracy to recommend Xu Shixing to the recommendation of him."

"Then...what should we do?"

"You set out to the southeast immediately tomorrow, and you must promote transactions with the vassal states and let Xu Shixing collect tariffs."

"But... our Xu family will pay for this price!"

"Then you have to pay for it." Xu Jie said with a gloomy face: "Now Your Majesty is old. Maybe a few days, months, or years will be the time when King Yu takes office. At this time, you cannot have any trouble for your father."

"The baby will leave tomorrow morning."

Yuxi Palace.

Emperor Jiajing looked at the memorial in his hand, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. Xu Shixing's memorial was the last one to be sent to the capital. Emperor Jiajing looked at Xu Shixing's memorial, narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, then put the memorial aside. He murmured to himself:

"I want to see what kind of waves you want to make."

After Xu Shixing delivered the memorial, he was waiting for Emperor Jiajing's decree. However, Emperor Jiajing's decree did not come, but Xu Luqing came.

After Xu Luqing came, he went straight to meet Zhang Juzheng, then left the prefect's office, and then went directly to the Maritime Bureau. After seeing Xu Shixing, Xu Luqing said very simply:

"Ru Mo, I already know what happened. Our Xu family traded with the vassal states at the previous low prices, which would definitely not affect the tax revenue of the Maritime Bureau."

"Brother Lu Qing, it's not that my second son and others are in a dilemma, it's about tariffs..."

"I understand!" Xu Luqing said apologetically, "My two younger brothers are ignorant. I have scolded them on behalf of my father. In this way, Rumo, please call those merchants from the vassal states and I will talk to them."

Xu Shixing nodded, and finally a hint of relaxation appeared on his face. As long as he could receive tariffs, the clouds of the day would dissipate. At that moment, he sent someone to invite the merchants of the vassal state. In less than half an hour, the merchants of the vassal state came to the Maritime Bureau. Xu Luqing did not say anything, and directly said to the merchants of the vassal state:

"Everyone, we can continue to trade, and the price of the previous one shall prevail."

Joseph stood up and said, "No, we need a lower price. Otherwise, we can't explain to those pirates, we can only give those pirates more money."

Xu Luqing waved his hand and said lightly: "Everyone is a businessman. You should know that the price I have given now is no longer profitable. Almost no one does a business that is not profitable, let alone a business that loses money. So don't make any more demands. Even if you ask for it, it will be useless. I will not regress. And you also know that I will not regress. You have traveled thousands of miles to the Ming Dynasty. If you are willing to spend it here, I have no objection. If you are willing to go back empty ships, I have no objection."

Joseph and others gathered together for a while, and then Joseph said:

"We need time to discuss!"
