Ferry Restaurant.

Only then did Qi Xingyun realize that what Qin Nanshu did seemed unfair, but he was protecting businessmen who did not have very strong financial resources.

They really can't afford to pay.

Qin Nanshu wiped the sweat from his forehead, and the emperor finally listened to what he was saying.

"I have also restricted some ordinary trades by first-class merchants at the ferry, such as bulk, wholesale, purchase, etc., and restricted first- to third-class merchants, leaving profits to small merchants. After all, big merchants have already made enough money at sea.

If you have too much profit, you can't compete with small businessmen."

"But after all, the bulk of the profits lies in maritime trade, alas."

"I also designed a set of reporting methods, reporting first-class merchants for ginseng and ground bulk, which has some effect. On the last page are some results of specific punishments for first- to third-class merchants."

Qi Xingyun brought Eunuch Wang Yun a copy of the book and turned it to the end. There were indeed dense traces of punishing high-level merchants who violated the rules.

Qin Nanshu said helplessly, "I have done the work, but I still have to be scolded. The huge profits from sea trade make them greedy, but they cannot afford to pay, and I am also worried."

"In the beginning, there were several cases of families going to sea at the ferry. The head of the family went to sea to fight for his life, and the boat capsized and sank. The family lost their livelihood, so they went to sea as a whole. This is why I banned the child.

Merchants participated in maritime trade.”

"This means that in their eyes, I am a high-end merchant."

Qi Xingyun placed Zha Zi on several cases, glanced at Eunuch Wang Yun, and asked Eunuch Wang Yun to continue investigating whether what Qin Nanshu said was true.

He pointed at the businessmen behind Qin Nanshu and said, "Then look at the businessmen standing behind you. Isn't it a first-class businessman? You mingle with them every day. It's strange that the people don't misunderstand you."

Qin Nanshu was about to kneel down again. After being stopped by Qi Xingyun, he explained, "They are all merchants organizing the Exhibition of All Nations for the emperor. There are also merchants from Korea, Sunrise Kingdom, and even Yajili people. There are few of them on weekdays."

Contact them personally."

"Then why did you tell these first-class merchants about my arrival at the ferry?" Qi Xingyun asked his last question.

Qin Nanshu's expression changed from fear to surprise, and then he said, "Isn't this what the emperor meant?"

"I told you! It is strictly forbidden to disturb the people." Qi Xingyun looked at Qin Nanshu and said sternly.

Qin Nanshu said with some embarrassment, "Isn't this the usual practice?"

"What do you mean??" Qi Xingyun always felt that their current conversation was completely different from each other.

The donkey's lips are not the horse's mouth.

After Eunuch Wang Yun left, another eunuch, Wang Li, apparently understood the meaning of the awkward conversation between the two, and his eyes were full of worry. But he did not dare to say what it meant.

He rolled his eyes and ran off to find Eunuch Wang Yun when he came back.

When Eunuch Wang Yun went to investigate what Qin Nanshu was doing, the place he went to was naturally the most crowded teahouse.

Eunuch Wang Yun, who was dressed in regular clothes, looked a bit like the butler of a wealthy family, and carefully chatted with the many tea guests in the teahouse.

Understand what Qin Nanshu did.

"Thank you, brother. In other words, if our family wants to buy and sell rouge and gouache at this ferry, we only need to go to the government to report and have a third-class or above merchant certificate with a store certificate?" Eunuch Wang Yun casually found it.

A teahouse guest offered him a cup of tea, and the talkative ferry man naturally had something to say.

The other tea-goer nodded with deep understanding, "What's the point? The governor of Fukou can still block you and prevent you from doing business?"

Eunuch Wang Yun asked without changing his expression, "Don't you need to give him Qin Nanshu some money and silk? The head of my family is a wealthy businessman from Jiangnan, and he has plenty of money. A certain person in Jiangnan always asked Qin Nanshu to be a glutton with a big appetite."

The tea guest's clothes were not too flashy, and he did not appear to be a rich man. Hearing what Eunuch Wang Yun said, he burst into laughter.

After the tea guest finished laughing, he shook his head and said, "This is not the first time I have heard what this official said. People in the south of the Yangtze River say that Qin Nanshu has a big appetite. If he doesn't give him money, he can't hang out at the ferry. In fact, that's not true. He

It's true that things are done unfairly, and it's a profit-making business. How many times have we been complained about? But there's never been any talk of being greedy for money."

"Don't look at how far it is from the ferry to the capital. The emperor is in the capital. He was greedy for money today and will be captured by the emperor tomorrow as a typical example. The captains who are composed of retired soldiers are not just for free.

It’s so awesome.”

"It's because Qin Nanshu has eaten the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's. He wouldn't dare to give him a hundred courages."

Eunuch Wang Yun wanted to ask again, but Wang Li stopped him and told Eunuch Wang Yun the current conversation in the restaurant.

As soon as the tea patron saw Wang Li running towards the restaurant, he knew that this might really be a wealthy businessman from Jiangnan.

"Old official, don't worry about doing business at the ferry! If Qin Nanshu dares to openly ask for your money and silk, all you have to do is stand in this teahouse and shout, and the emperor of Daqi will kill Qin Nanshu

Here you go!" The tea guest said proudly that he had a lot of conveniences from all over the world, aiming to persuade Mr. Wang Yun to settle down.

Eunuch Wang Yun nodded after listening to his self-praising words, left the teahouse and walked towards the restaurant.

Wang Li followed Eunuch Wang Yun step by step, listening to Eunuch Wang Yun's tips on how to do things for the emperor.

As Eunuch Wang Yun walked quickly back to the restaurant, he said, "This tea guest is from Jiangnan, and his Mandarin pronunciation is not accurate."

"But he recognized the ferry from the bottom of his heart. He kept talking about the benefits of the ferry. He was afraid that we would not do business at their ferry. This kind of recognition is really difficult."

"The Emperor asked us to investigate whether Qin Nanshu is doing well or not. The words of these merchants and wanderers can best reflect the problem. So if you pay more attention to anything and think more about it, you can always find a solution."

Eunuch Wang Yun hurried back to the restaurant and whispered to Qi Xingyun, explaining his understanding of the ferry incident.

"Your Majesty, as for what Qin Nanshu said, I think there is some truth in what he said." Eunuch Wang Yun carefully expressed his opinion.

Qi Xingyun looked at Eunuch Wang Yun in confusion and said, "You mean I asked him to disturb the people, and I asked him to spread the news? This is unreasonable! I strictly ordered not to disturb the people!"

Eunuch Wang Yun said in a low voice with some embarrassment, "When the Emperor Huang Nanxing was in power, he liked to say this. The more stringent the order, the more prepared the local officials must be, and the higher the standard of reception."

"This has become a rule in officialdom."

Qi Xingyun's eyes widened, and there is such an operation?!

Eunuch Wang Yun nodded helplessly and said, "In the third year of Tonghe's reign, the Supreme Emperor came to Ningnan Mansion. The governor of Ningnan Mansion did not know the rules, so he prepared a simple welcome and entertainment according to the Supreme Emperor's order of simplicity.

Before the Supreme Emperor left Ningnan Mansion, this governor was demoted to Lingnan."
