Chapter 11: A Different Way
In the evening, the gate of the Tiger Pass was locked, and the lights in the Tiger Pass gradually went out, while the lights were still on the yard.
Ye Xiaotian's residence is much more spacious than the other people, after all, his identity is there. But after squeezing five or six people in one go, he felt a little crowded. Tea was boiled on the stove, and several people were sitting on chairs or couches, discussing the gains of today's account check under the dim light.
Su Xuntian said: "The people in Tiger Pass are very hostile to us. If you want to check something, you are always staring at me, guarding against me, and being on guard, it's too difficult!"
Ye Xiaotian smiled and said, "This is normal. We came from another county, so this is very disgusting. Moreover, if we really find a problem with them, they will not be able to get out of touch, and it would be strange if we can treat us as distinguished guests. We had already predicted this situation before we set out. We did not take advantage of the location and people, and the difficulties were indeed great. However, we still need to investigate this case. What gains do you have?"
As soon as he mentioned this, Su Xuntian was full of anger and said angrily: "I have been observing these days and specially selected two people who seem to be in the tiger gate to get close to each other. But damn, these two bastards, one pervert and the other drunkard, have a drink to drink, and they don't refuse any useful words. I'm fooled by them!"
"You treat others as fools, and you blame others for treating you as fools?"
Ye Xiaotian smiled bitterly and shook his head, then looked at the person in the tax department. The person said, "I have been waiting for the people who have settled their tax department these days. No matter how cold they speak, I just pretend that they didn't listen. After careful observation, I found that they were indeed unnatural, but now it has aroused the alertness of Ambassador Pang. It would be difficult for me to continue investigating it."
Ye Xiaotian's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said, "What are you talking about abnormally? What do you mean?"
The man smiled slightly and said, "Mr. County Magistrate, I am in the Tax Department. I know the habits and regulations of the Tax Department. So if there is anything wrong with it, the lower officials can smell it. This is just a feeling. If you really want to say that you are ugly, Yin and Mao, I really can't explain the low position clearly."
Ye Xiaotian nodded. He understood this feeling, which was like an animal's instinct, but animal instincts were born, and his "smell" originated from his understanding of the rules and habits, that is, experience. It would be difficult for him to tell a truth.
Ye Xiaotian said: "Then tell me how you feel. It doesn't matter, we are brainstorming, I don't have to ask you to explain the basis."
The person from the Tax Division said, "Yes! In the past few days, some passers-by have regarded Huyi as a person from Tiger Pass. They thought Huyi was a newcomer and had a lot of complimentary intentions for Huyi. From their words and actions, they felt that this tax authorities must have received benefits for personal fraud. It was just that it was impossible to determine whether it was related to smuggling contraband."
Ye Xiaotian frowned slightly. He knew that he would go in this direction and look for it. There might be a breakthrough, but now Ambassador Pang has raised his vigilance, which is no longer possible. He looked at Hua Yunfei again, and Hua Yunfei smiled bitterly and shook his head at him.
At this time, a skinny old man suddenly coughed and said to Ye Xiaotian: "Sir, please forgive me for saying something depressed. I think it is impossible for us to find any problem from their accounts."
The old man's name is Nan Ke, who is the accountant in Hong Baichuan Mansion. Because of Ye Xiaotian and the tycoon, he trusts Mr. Nan very much and makes him the manager of these accountant men. Ye Xiaotian still attaches great importance to his opinions and immediately asks: "Why does Mr. Nan say this?"
Nan Ke bowed and said, "Sir, I first checked the accounts of the Chang's chariots and horse shops and Hu and Lu businesses in recent times. Judging from the accounts, there is no problem, and it is completely consistent with the accounts we counted in Huxian.
Since the adults have ordered the accounts of these three companies to be strictly investigated, they obviously have some doubts, but the accounts of these three companies are completely fine. What does it mean? Or, these three companies are actually very innocent. You have checked the wrong direction, and I think it is unlikely to do this.
It’s not that I am complimenting the Lord, but because among these three families, the Chang’s chariot and horse carriages were originally Qimu’s chariot and horse carriages. If there are really people in Huxian who have a relationship with Myanmar and have been transporting private goods to our Ming Dynasty for a long time, then the most suspicious one is the Chang’s chariot and horse carriages, which are even more impossible for other chariot and horse carriages.
Among those merchants, if the Hu and Lu are fine, they have to check and check all the merchants and all the books from scratch. In this way, even if Lao Ji and others stay day and night, they will not be able to do it without three or five months. Will Dawanshan let us check here for three or five months?
I'm afraid the Tu Magistrate of Dawanshansi promised us to check the accounts so happily. It is because of this. If we cannot make any profit as soon as possible, Dawanshansi and the many merchants and gentry stuck in our Hu County will attack you."
It is because Ye Xiaotian and Luo Daheng are good brothers, and Mr. Nan has been in Hong Baichuan Mansion for more than ten years and has regarded himself as a member of the Hong family, so he is willing to be loyal to his young master's brother, otherwise he would never say this, but his truthful words made the atmosphere in the room heavier.
Sun Weixuan bowed and said, "Sir, villain has something to say."
Ye Xiaotian immediately turned his attention to him. Sun Weixuan said: "I am grateful to the adults. The villain really hopes to do something for the adults. However, when it comes to taxation, the men in the taxation department are familiar with the younger ones. When it comes to account checks, the villain cannot even compare with Mr. Nan's little finger. As for the complicated relationships in the government, the villain does not understand the Su Bantu..."
Although Sun Weixuan is a rough-looking man with a cheerful temperament, he can't do anything versatile in business. Although he may not be good at dancing, these few words have habitually flattered everyone, and then he put forward his own opinions: "So, the villain started from other aspects, thinking that if he could find something."
Sun Weixuan smiled slightly and said, "The villain has also wandered around the tiger gate in and out these days. Later, he saw that he didn't find anything. The villain suddenly remembered something and ran to Moon Bay."
Su Xuntian said unspeakably: "What are you doing in Yueliang Bay? It is located between our Huxian checkpoint and Dawanshansi checkpoint. There are mountains on both sides of Yueliang Bay. Vehicles and cargoes are hard to fly. They can only go to the ferry and cannot do anything at all."
Sun Weixuan nodded and said, "What Su Bantou said is! The villain has no idea and goes around in case possible. The villain thinks that if there is really someone banning private trafficking, then there will definitely be people buying the levels all over the way, so we may not be able to tamper with the accounts at the Huxian level and Dawanshansi level, but the Moon Bay Ferry is different."
Ye Xiaotian frowned slightly and thought, "Moon Bay Ferry? The ferrying boats there are all civilian boats. What can I find?"
Sun Weixuan smiled proudly and said, "Sir, this Moon Bay Ferry has been opened since the construction of the post road during the Taizu period. It has been more than two hundred years since then, and the boatmen have not been operating in scattered business. They had a boat trip decades ago, and there was only one, all boatmen, sailors, loaders and unloaders, were looking for food in the boat trip.
When the villain used to escort the goods to the ferry crossing, he accidentally found that they inspected the number of passing merchants and goods and recorded them. Of course, they had no right to check the goods, but they would record which merchants or carriages were this, how many boxes and baskets were shipped, so as to ask for ferry fees and pay wages to boatmen and labor workers."
Ye Xiaotian said nervously: "This kind of account book will not be discarded after using it, right?"
Sun Weixuan said: "The villain is also worried about this, so he went to check it out. The villain and the boss of the ship are very familiar with each other. After striking indirectly, they realized that not only did they record detailed records of loading the ship, but even had time, but these books must be handed over to the account room and would not be discarded!"
Ye Xiaotian laughed and said, "I can find it without any effort when I find it! Weixuan, this time, you have made great contributions!"
Ye Xiaotian stood up suddenly, and everyone stood up. Ye Xiaotian said in a deep voice: "Today's proposal, everyone must keep their mouths tight! Tomorrow, let's 'return without success'! Haha..."
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
As the only source of people nearby for food, the competition for boat trips is extremely fierce. For more than two hundred years, the owner of the ferry has changed his master several times, and the Liang family has been unified by the world more than 20 years ago. The owner of this generation of Liang's ship trip was Liang Qingyi, and all the boatmen and sailors were seeking food under him.
The Liang family's management of boat trips has been very strict after decades of hammering. Unless the Liang family's manager himself is confused, has major faults, or is a war or a special reason for the government, it is enough to ensure that the Liang family lives on this ferry for generations, and it is impossible to threaten him, because with the Liang family's comprehensive monopoly on the ferry crossings on both sides of the strait, others have no chance to develop.
Liang Qingyi now even if he doesn't go to the pier to sit in the pier, he can still make a fortune at home. However, Liang Qingyi is not slacking off. He will definitely go to his water kingdom to inspect it, just like a lion king patrols its territory every day.
Early that morning, Liang Qingyi rushed to the dock as usual. Accompanied by several major managers, he slowly patrolled his country and enjoyed the boatman's gaze of the emperor. Suddenly, a young man with a handsome appearance and a smile stood in front of him.
Liang Qingyi frowned unhappily, and immediately a boat manager scolded the man: "What are you doing? Get out of here!"
"Ship owner, right?"
The young man smiled and the heavenly official gave him blessing: "I am the chief of Huxian County, Ye Xiaotian, who has long been revered to the name of the cool ship owner, but unfortunately I miss it. I am deeply sorry that I am missing out. Now I am gifted a friend with a good stone flower, but I can't bear to enjoy it alone. I would like to invite the cool ship owner to come to the house and have a gathering together to taste fragrant tea. Is it good?"
: I sincerely ask for monthly tickets, recommended tickets!
