When he walked into the flower hall, he saw Xu Shixing sitting at the table. When he saw Luo Xin coming in, he quickly stood up and saluted Luo Xin, and then ordered the servants to start serving the dishes. Luo Xin waved his hand and signaled that the two of them sat down, and the delicacies came up one by one. After the two of them clinked a glass, Xu Shixing put down the wine glass and said:

"Sir, everything is ready."

"How did you talk about it?"

"It is still based on what the Xu Mansion and the vassal state merchants had previously discussed, and they were sold to the vassal state merchants at a low price, but the taxes of the Maritime Bureau cannot be reduced by a single copper coin."

"That's good!" Luo Xin nodded, with a smile on his face.

"grown ups……"

"What's going on in the future? What's after this transaction? What's going on next time? The Xu Mansion has been ordered by His Majesty and will not be involved in sea trade in the future. However, with pirates here, what's the next transaction?

The five people could not trade with merchants from the vassal states at the price of the Xu Mansion. They must restore the original price. However, due to pirates, merchants from the vassal states could not agree."

"I will go and talk to Hubutang tomorrow."

Xu Shixing's lips moved, but in the end he didn't say anything. Luo Xin smiled and said:

"What do you want to say?"

"Hu Butang..."

"You want to say that Hu Butang will not send troops?"

"Yes!" Xu Shixing nodded and said, "Taiyue and I, including Xu Luqing, have gone to him many times, but he did not send troops at all."

"I will send troops." Luo Xin said lightly: "I have an imperial edict."

Xu Shixing was happy when he heard this, but then his face turned bitter and said, "Sir, even if Hu Butang sent troops..."

"Haha..." Luo Xin laughed and said, "Do you want to say that even if the Ming Navy sends troops, he can't defeat pirates at sea?"

"Yes!" Xu Shixing said arduously: "The last time the Ming Navy sent troops, all of them were elite, but they were defeated and returned."

"I will go out to sea with the navy this time."

"No!" Xu Shixing's face changed drastically.

"Why can't it work?" Luo Xin asked with a smile.

"It's too dangerous!" Xu Shixing said anxiously: "Sir, if something happens to you at sea..."

"Nothing will happen!" Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "I'll go out to sea to see. If I can fight, then fight. If I can't fight, then talk to the pirates."

"Sir, do you want to recruit you?"

"Look first and then talk about it."

"Sir, this is too dangerous."

"It's okay!" Luo Xin shook his head and said, "I have done this dangerous thing many times. It's not as dangerous as you think."

"grown ups……"

"Needless to say!"

The second day.

The Maritime Warehouse was busy and began to load goods on the ship from the dock. Liu Shouyou also came back, and his mission had been completed. The Xu family compensated the merchants who had once taken advantage of the tricks and organized the supply of goods. The rest was not the Jinyiwei's business, but the Maritime Warehouse's business.

In the yamen of the Maritime War Department, Luo Xin looked at it with a memorial. This was the memorial from Liu Shouyou to Emperor Jiajing. After Luo Xin finished reading it, he handed the memorial to Liu Shouyou:

"That's it!"

"Okay!" Liu Shou nodded and said, "What about the future?"

"You send someone to send the memorial away first, and take my memorials with you."

Luo Xin took out a memorial and handed it to Liu Shouyou. Liu Shouyou put it away, hurried out, arranged for a few Jinyiwei to set off immediately and go to the capital. Then he turned back and said:

"grown ups!"

"Let's go to Suzhou."

"Go to Suzhou?"

"Well, go and talk to Hubutang and ask him to send troops."

Liu Shou nodded. He knew that Luo Xin had an imperial edict in his hand, and no one could invite Hu Zongxian. Luo Xin had no problem. But even if Hu Zongxian was invited, could the Ming Navy beat the pirates?

Although he had never seen this newly emerging pirate, he had been in the Jinyiwei for many years and was still very familiar with the situation of the Ming Navy. Although the Ming Navy became much stronger under the remediation of Hu Zongxian, he had no confidence. If the Ming Navy was strong, he would not have been defeated by the newly emerging pirate before.

Now he and Luo Xin are grasshoppers on the same line, so he was very worried. He thought for a while and said:

"Sir, even if Hu Zongxian sends troops, he may not be able to beat the pirates. If he can't beat the pirates, what will happen to the Maritime Trade Department in the future?"

"I'm going to go out to sea with the navy." Luo Xin said softly.

"What?" Liu Shouyou was shocked: "How can this be done?"

"What's wrong?" Luo Xin had already walked out of the Maritime Warriors at this time. Liu Shouyou hurriedly followed, following behind the Jinyiwei and Luo Xin's servants.

"This..." Liu Shouyou said anxiously: "If you are in danger..."

"I always have to go and see. If I can fight, I will destroy the pirates. If I can't fight, I will talk. Whether I want to fight or talk, I will meet and have a clear idea in my heart."

Looking at the entangled look on Liu Shouyou's face, Luo Xin smiled and said, "Don't worry, although I am not old, I have experienced no less danger than you. At that time, I had only two thousand people, and I was able to break into the 200,000 army camp of Altan Khan. What are some pirates?"

Liu Shouyou sighed, knowing that once Luo Xin made up his mind, he would not be able to dissuade him. Moreover, in his heart, he really admired Luo Xin. I am afraid that Luo Xin would have the courage in the entire Ming Dynasty.

"I'll go with you."

"Of course you have to go." Luo Xin smiled and said, "You must always be by my side, so that you can report everything to Your Majesty."

Liu Shouyou laughed dryly and said, "How to report the report is not the final word of your Lord Luo."

Luo Xin shook his head and said, "You just report it as it is."

Luo Xin got on the carriage, Liu Shouyou, Wan Daquan and others rode their horses, and left Hangzhou Prefecture and headed towards Suzhou Prefecture.

Suzhou Prefecture.

Grand Governor's Office.

Luo Xin read out the imperial edict, and the content of the imperial edict was very clear, which was to tell Hu Zongxian that as an imperial envoy, Luo Xin looked at the things in the southeast, and even Hu Zongxian was no exception and had to obey Hu Zongxian's orders.

Hu Zongxian accompanied Luo Xin and Liu Shouyou into the study and asked the two of them to sit down. After taking the tea, he asked with a smile:

"Mr. Luo, what do you need? Even if you tell me, I have no choice but to break my bones."

"It's not that serious." Luo Xin smiled and said, "You know, the Xu family has organized a source of goods and has started trading with merchants from the vassal states today. Five days later, it will be the time for merchants from the vassal states to leave the Ming Dynasty. This transaction still continues the way the Ming Dynasty navy protected merchants from the last time. Therefore, this time, my brother needs to send elite merchants from the Ming Dynasty navy to protect merchants from the vassal states to the sea."

Hu Zongxian smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Luo, there is no problem with me sending the navy. I can send all the navy, but we really can't beat any pirate."
