The carriage was walking on the official road, and the weather was already very hot. Ling Qingyu was impatient to sit in the stuffy carriage, so he simply climbed into the driver's seat and sat next to Yan San.
"Sheng Mi's kindness fights against Mi's hatred." Yan San suddenly said faintly.
Ling Qingyu was taken aback for a moment, but fell into deep thought. Yes, I am not doing things with the previous concept too much. Benefit sharing can trigger the greatest enthusiasm, this is the most basic principle of cooperation, but in modern times, there is no class oppression, people are chasing money, and they are constantly demanding their own maximum profit. Under the market economy, various unspoken rules of business wars . But it is different here. There is a loyalty that is not found in modern times. It is not completely maintained by money. There are family servants and employment relationships. It is only an agricultural economy. There will be problems, just like giving Shengmi is kindness, and giving Doumi is enmity. In fact, it is not the same in ancient times and modern times. Giving benefits is the original driving force that drives everything, but it cannot be overdone. If overdone, it will bring unnecessary ambitions. Have you really passed what you did? Give appropriate benefits, use rules to maintain the relationship between the upper and lower levels, hey, managing a company is the most tiring job at any time.
"I, when the big revenge is avenged, I will find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, build a big Zhuangzi, sleep and eat every day, eat and sleep." Ling Qingyu leaned back and said.
Seeing her complexion constantly changing, Yan San sighed and thought hard again, and after changing again and again, she couldn't help but feel dumb when she said this sentence. Xindao, you are lucky, you met loyal servants, if they were those black-hearted servants, you wouldn't even know they were sold out.
"This ideal is not bad. Back then, I thought about it too." Yan San whipped his whip, and the horse started to gallop.
"Then why didn't you do it later?" Ye Shiyi poked his head out of the window and asked.
"Because I'm not a pig."
"Yan San!"
The hills by the Taihu Lake slowly disappeared behind, and finally disappeared from sight, and the carriage ran out of Wu County.
When he arrived in Hangzhou Mansion, Ling Qingyu felt that he was about to fall apart, so he went back to the inn to rest. The small courtyard she had rented earlier was not returned, and Cai Jingfang was still living there.
When Ling Qingyu walked into the small courtyard rubbing his shoulders, he saw Cai Jingfang who was circling in the courtyard like a headless chicken pounced on him.
"Master, you are finally back!"
I've only been away for three days! Ling Qingyu pulled away the sleeves that were about to be pulled off by him, and said, "Xiao Cai, what is our goal?!"
"Calm down! There is a solution to everything." Cai Jingfang then said with a mournful face, "But girl, our boat has been detained!"
Ling Qingyu was taken aback for a moment, revenge came so soon? !
"You detained that boat?!" Zhao Pu looked at the subordinate standing next in disbelief.
"Yes, according to your order, my lord, we have detained the ship, but the draft of the ship is too deep to enter the port, so we can only stay in the open sea, but we have locked up everyone on the ship!" The subordinate replied.
"Which of you can pilot that ship?" Zhao Pu looked at his subordinates like idiots.
"This, of course not." The seagoing ship is still so big, and the entire Hangzhou government may not be able to find a few, and the few that can be found may have died in the storm last year. Under his gaze, the subordinate was sweating unknowingly. It wasn't the second Master Zhao who asked someone to hand it over, saying that the Lord needed that ship urgently. Could it be that he did something wrong
"You can't drive that boat, what do you mean by arresting the boat and locking up people?" Zhao Pu smiled instead of anger, and said, "Could it be that the boat can send me the food by itself!"
"A bunch of pigs!" Zhao Pu kicked the subordinate bitterly. Moreover, the laws of Da Zhou are very strict, so if the maritime merchant's ship is seized without any crime, it will be enough for him to suffer if his political opponents take part in a book.
"My lord, there is the owner of the Fengshen outside, please see me." Seeing Zhao Pu's dark face, the servant stood at the door and said.
"Please come in quickly!" Zhao Pu thought for a while, and sat on the head with a serious expression.
"The villain Ling Qingyu sees the governor!" Ling Qingyu paused before entering the door to calm down, and then bowed and gave a big gift. Zhao Inspector saw that she was not in the courtroom, but in the study behind the yamen, which meant that there was something wrong with this matter.
"Excuse me, watch the seats." Zhao Pu looked up at her, then lowered his head and picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.
"The villain dare not, the villain is here to plead guilty." Ling Qingyu bent over and did not get up, and there was panic in his voice.
"What is the crime?"
"The villain doesn't know, but since Mr. Inspector detained the villain's boat, it must be the villain's fault, but I don't know if we can give the villain a chance to correct his mistakes?"
Zhao Pu raised his head slightly, and glanced at the bent man below, with some scrutiny in his eyes. A few days ago, he heard from his wife that a sea merchant came from Quanzhou and wanted to do some business with the Zhao family. At that time, his wife who only knew how to be noble said it in a mocking tone. At that time, he only thought that lady was stupid. Incomparably, no one knows how profitable the sea merchants are. It’s just that the big sea merchants are all in Guangzhou, and they are controlled by the Xie family. Small officials like them can’t get in if they want to intervene. Now some of them are delivered to the door, and they are actually pushed out. . After checking, I saw that the owner of the boat was actually a woman, so I stopped thinking. No matter how big the profits of the sea merchants are, they must be able to return by boat, otherwise the money will be wasted. A female household is just an occasional luck, and if it is pushed, it will be pushed.
It's just that the few urgent official documents he received later forced him to think about this ship.
"Hehe, you misunderstood." Remembering that his black hat is still important, Zhao Pu smiled slightly: "I am not detaining your boat, but requisitioning it temporarily. Sit down!"
Ling Qingyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and when he raised his head, he still maintained a look of fear, and said, "Don't dare, just tell me what you have ordered, as long as the villain can be used, the villain will definitely go all out."
"Well, I won't go around in circles with you." Zhao Pu put down his tea bowl and said, "Hebei East Road, Hebei West Road, Jingdong East Road, and Jingdong East Road are very dry this spring, you know?"
I do not know? I just got back okay! But Ling Qingyu still replied solemnly: "In such a catastrophe, what can the villain do?"
"Now my Hangzhou government has mobilized 500,000 shi of grain. If I want to go to Jingdong East Road for disaster relief, I need to rent your boat and go to Haizhou a few times." Zhao Pu softened his tone when he saw her, and the requisition changed into a lease. This time there was a severe drought in the four directions in the north, many counties and counties had no crops, and there was already a great famine. Even Emperor Xiwen, who did not care about the previous dynasty, began to worry, and ordered several imperial edicts in succession to mobilize material relief from all directions in the south. But the severe drought actually also affected the south. The water in the canal was so shallow that only small boats could be used. He had mobilized food, but he couldn’t transport it. The official documents of the past few days have begun to be reprimanded, and Zhao Pu is very convinced that if he does not transport the grain, Emperor Xiwen will definitely cut off his head.
"It is my honor to serve the imperial court. I will go back and prepare, and I can set sail at any time."
"In this case, please ask the head of the family." Zhao Pu got up and said, "The victims of the disaster will also be grateful to the head of the house."
Zhao Guang was very satisfied. This ship was very big and beautiful. Most importantly, the captain's cabin was very comfortable. Although it was not luxurious, every detail was considered in every place, which made people feel very convenient. Unknowingly, Zhao Guang began to dream, how cool and unrestrained he would be to sail overseas on this ship.
"Second Lord, Xu Zhizhou is here." A servant ran into the captain's room and said to Zhao Guang who was sitting on the couch drinking tea leisurely.
"Second Master Zhao?" Looking at Zhao Guang in the captain's cabin who seemed as comfortable as on his own boat, Xu Chang secretly despised him.
"Xu Chang!" Zhao Guang was a little surprised. The two had always been at odds, but Xu Chang was Zhao Pu's subordinate, so he had always been a little humble. Could it be that he also took a fancy to this ship? At the first sight of Xu Chang, the personal attendant following the elder brother kept winking at him, feeling even more confused.
"I don't know what Master Zhao is doing on this boat?" Xu Chang asked.
"This is my boat, why should I be here?" As soon as Zhao Guang said that, Zhao Pu's entourage's face darkened. He hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Guang and said, "Just kidding, Mr. Xu, don't mind."
Zhao Guang still wanted to break free from the entourage, so Xu Chang said calmly: "So it was a joke? I thought Second Master Zhao really had the courage to seize the civilian boat."
"Second master, the old lady is not feeling well, please go back to the house immediately." The cold sweat on the attendant's forehead became heavier, my second master, you are helping the master to find death, the master's head is hanging now. If Ginseng allowed his family members to rob private boats by force, so that they could not deliver the relief food in time, it would be a matter of robbery. Without waiting for Zhao Guang to speak, he dragged it up and left.
"Master Xu, we can bring the boat three miles closer, but we won't be able to get in any closer. Could you please send another boat? We'll clear the cargo hold right away, so we can load the food." Ling Qingyu glanced at it and was dragged out. Zhao Guang, who was cursing, saluted Xu Chang.
On the way here, Ling Qingyu figured out that Zhao Pu was not the governor of Hangzhou, but a transshipment envoy of Liangzhe Road, and the prefect of Hangzhou was Xu Chang. Ling Qingyu secretly decided that once she was free, she must supplement her official knowledge, but the people around her were all from hard-working people, who knows who the official is, they only know who is in charge, by the way, you can find Zhu Weili.
That night, the lanterns outside Hangzhou Harbor illuminated the beach like daytime, porters on the shore came and went, and all kinds of small boats transported food to the Fengshen.
Seeing the loads of food gradually filling the cabin in an orderly manner, Xu Chang nodded slightly. He had been carefully observing the woman along the way. As a woman, she must be able to carry such a large sea boat, which must be extraordinary. Seeing that she behaved modestly along the way, but her eyes were clear, and now she handles affairs cleanly and her style of acting is very decisive. Although there are many people and many things, she has not made any mistakes under her command. It really is a talent.
"Ding Dong, that" Ling Qingyu said softly, leaning over Ding Dong's ear.
"Don't worry." Ding Dong also said softly. Sometimes we can't even find it ourselves, and if others can find it, there will be ghosts. The entrance of the dark cabin is in the pigsty of the kitchen, who would have thought, and the design of the Fengshen is ingenious, so it is impossible to realize that there is such a large-capacity dark cabin below, remembering that before Ling Qingyu left, they asked them to put away the remaining valuables. Basically, all the goods were moved into the dark cabin, and I really admire her foresight.
"Are the brothers seriously injured?" Ling Qingyu asked again. At this time, the two of them were standing in the downwind, surrounded by noisy people.
"Shen Zhan was seriously injured," Ding Dong said in admiration, "That kid is ruthless enough. Seeing that they are going to enter your cabin, he took an ax and chopped them over." No way someone can snatch the boat away.
"Don't be so reckless next time. If the boat is gone, we can rebuild it. If the people are gone, there will be nothing." Ling Qingyu frowned.
"The boat is almost loaded. Go and rest." Ding Dong said.
Thinking of the disgusting Zhao Er lying on her bed, Ling Qingyu didn't want to go.
"Sister." Ye Shiyi and Cai Jingfang came in a small boat and boarded the Fengshen, Ye Shiyi shouted happily.
"Eleventh, how is it?" Ling Qingyu asked. According to what Yan San said, she wrote the mission order in Wu County. After arriving in Hangzhou, Ye Shiyi volunteered to submit the mission order with Yan San, and went without returning to the inn. It was only later that Yan San turned back to get the banknotes. The Red Chamber always collects money first and then handles affairs. When Ling Qingyu met Ling Qingyu and was going to find Zhao Pu, Cai Jingfang went to find Eleven instead, and Yan San followed to the yamen.
"Yeah," Ye Shixi was a little excited, this was the first time he was going to do things alone, although Xiaocai followed him to make light bulbs. Said: "Those sisters are very enthusiastic, and they still want to let me eat fruit."
Seeing Ye Shiyi's pink and tender face covered with lipstick marks, Ling Qingyu glanced at Yan San, killer and brothel.
Yan San looked at the lantern directly in front of him without squinting. Well, the person who received the task in the red building was actually a beggar next to the brothel, but he couldn't get too close to the site of the red building, so he went to find Ye Shiyi, that pig of Ye Shi, you can just throw your purse to the beggar, why? Why should I be dragged in by someone!
The ship was fully loaded before dawn, and it contained 20,000 shi of grain. Xu Chang clicked his tongue when he heard the reward. If such a large ship had several more round trips, more than half of the food could be transported there.
After checking the documents, the Fengshen set off with the accompanying grain pressing officers and soldiers.
"The draft is a bit deep." Ding Dong looked at the buoy next to the disembarkation boat. It was to determine the loading capacity of the ship. If it exceeded, there would be risks. But now, the buoy has been pushed down for better.
"Well, I bought some additional food and put it in the kitchen as a backup." Ling Qingyu said as he watched Hangzhou gradually go away. Jingdong East Road is equivalent to the boundary of Shandong. Because of the seaside, there are relatively few droughts. I heard that this year’s drought area is large and particularly severe. Even Jingdong East Road has reached the level of extreme drought. Could it be that the big outbreak last year caused it? climate change
Whether it is Quanzhou or Hangzhou, they are all a scene of prosperity through singing and dancing, but not many people mention the extent of the drought in distant places.
