Qi Xingyun, who has the ability to reach the sky with his hands and eyes, said with a slight frown: "Look into it, who told Han Feiyu that I was coming. Collusion between officials and businessmen is absolutely forbidden. Appointing one party is the parents of one party. If officials collude together, who will To protect the interests of merchants below the third level?"
"Yes." Wang Yun nodded.
Your Majesty's safety is more important than anything else. He left Cha Zi with his hidden guards and headed towards the Dukou Mansion.
Qin Nanshu, the governor of Dukou, and Han Feiyu, had been waiting in front of the Dukou restaurant for a long time. There was a huge plaque, a continuous building, and a four-story wooden building.
luxury.
Qi Xingyun felt these two words as soon as he entered the door. The solid wood floor was so smooth that it could reflect the silhouette of people, and there were two clumps of coral more than one meter high standing on both sides of the door.
Tea sets, produced by Cizhou kiln and Jun kiln, are like works of art when placed here!
What Qi Xingyun frequently noticed was the tea table made of Yaozhou kiln porcelain, with its sharp and extremely chic depiction, a flowing rhythmic beauty surging between the hot tea, and a layer of fluorescent light shining on the glaze.
Low-key luxury has connotation.
"See your majesty, your majesty is safe and peaceful." Qin Nanshu, the magistrate of the ferry, led many first-class merchants in the store to kneel on the ground and shouted loudly.
Soon, Qin Nanshu, the governor of the ferry, noticed something was wrong.
His Majesty did not ask them to get up, but asked them to kneel on the ground.
Qin Nanshu led a group of prefect's clerks and merchants to visit Qi Xingyun, but Qi Xingyun sipped hot tea and did not let them stand.
Qin Nanshu and others did not dare to raise their heads and lay on the ground sweating profusely. They didn't know what happened, but the emperor's face didn't look very good when he entered the room.
And now he doesn't even have a straight body, so something might have happened.
As soon as Qi Xingyun drank a cup of tea, Wang Yun finished the matter and returned to Shangshan Tower.
"Your Majesty has found out. The concierge of the Ferry Prefecture told him that seven days ago, His Majesty sent an order to the ferry to check the progress of the ferry dock. Qin Nanshu, the Ferry Prefecture, sent the concierge to the Han family in Didian to tell the Han family that His Majesty was coming. "Wang Yun lowered his head and whispered in Qi Xingyun's ear.
"One more thing, Your Majesty, it seems that the rumors about Qin Nanshu at the ferry are not very good, and there are many biased opinions. When the old minister came in, he received a letter from the captain, and it was all about Qin Nanshu. ." Wang Yun said and handed over a notebook.
Qi Xingyun opened the letter and frowned frequently. Qin Nanshu had many bad habits as a Qi official. There were no serious crimes or serious crimes, and no major right or wrong was involved. What he did was just chilling to the people.
Qi Xingyun looked at Qin Nanshu who was kneeling on the ground and asked: "Qin Nanshu, you are Han Dong's classmate. I remember that your position as the ferry magistrate originally belonged to Han Dong, but he went to Liaodong, and this position is his. I recommended you, right?”
"Your Majesty is aware that I entered the Imperial College as a tribute scholar in the same year as Academician Han." Qin Nanshu wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied.
"Han Dong has suffered a lot. I saw him a few days ago and he has lost a lot of weight. The place where he lives is windy and sandy, and the white-haired wind in winter makes people's bones ache. When it snows , do you know how thick the snow is? With a foot deep snow, you can't even go out, let alone the walkway." Qi Xingyun sipped a cup of tea and looked at Qin Nan's book.
Qin Nanshu's forehead was sweating more and more. The more Han Dong suffered, the more comfortable he became as the ferry magistrate, and the more useless he seemed.
Qi Xingyun looked at the sweat on Qin Nanshu's forehead, shook his head and said, "Han Dong gave you the position of Dukou magistrate. Did you do it well? I have seen the development of Dukou this year. Similarly, you also fell into the Imperial Academy. His reputation. Being involved with this group of merchants has caused too much trouble."
Qin Nanshu put his forehead on the ground and said: "My lord, you are responsible for your destiny. The ferry is a port with many merchants coming and going, and I have many interactions with merchants and merchants. I will definitely pay attention to it in the future."
"If it's strange that I prefer to criticize first-class merchants, I will admit it. I do favor first-class merchants in some policies on weekdays, which has caused a lot of rumors. However, I think that if someone else comes here, he will That’s all it can do.”
oh?
When Han Dong was a Grand Scholar, what Qi Xingyun admired the most was Han Dong's vigor, his courage to speak out, his courage to speak up, and his courage to speak up. He rushed directly to the main hall and told himself that he wanted to revive Daqi.
The scholar was angry and scolded Fang Qiu.
Now Qin Nan's book is a bit like Han Dong's.
At least he didn't see the emperor, so he was so frightened that he couldn't even utter a retort.
"Tell me, why do you prefer first-class merchants?" Qi Xingyun asked, he wanted to give Qin Nanshu a chance to speak.
Qin Nanshu raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, when I came to the ferry, it was a wasteland with nothing. It was just a small fishing village with less than three thousand people. Now it is four to five million people and has four berths. , a large port with seventeen berths under construction.”
This is an extremely proud achievement. Qi Xingyun is very sure that Qin Nanshu's political achievements are very beautiful.
"In the beginning, it was really difficult. No merchants were willing to come here in this small fishing village. I talked about it in Jiangnan Di shop and even moved out. Your Majesty took this matter seriously and came to persuade the merchants to come to Fukou to establish a business. Retail shop owners, and finally managed to convince a few first-class merchants to come to the ferry to give it a try." Qin Nanshu's expression was full of memories.
In Daqi, businessmen are also divided into several levels. Generally, those who reach the first level are extremely wealthy and big businessmen.
Qin Nanshu raised his head and said, "This is the reason why I favored big merchants when I first built my mansion in Dukou."
"It's reasonable and well-founded." Qi Xingyun nodded. Qi Xingyun fully agreed with Qin Nanshu's reason.
It’s easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to provide help when it’s time.
The ferry was just a fishing village at that time, but now it has become a bustling port.
Qi Xingyun took a sip of tea and asked, "What about now?"
Qin Nanshu said helplessly: "There is a reason why many large-scale transactions are now favored by first-class merchants. It is because they can afford the risk. For merchants below third-class, if something happens to the sailboat at sea, their family will be destroyed." Death. Please also ask the officials to take warning."
First-class merchants are indeed more risk-resistant. Ordinary merchants who are involved in large-scale overseas transactions can easily destroy their families and people. Qi Xingyun looked at Zha Zi again.
In Qi Xingyun's view, Qin Nanshu was indeed involved too deeply with first-class merchants, but most of the content involved involved high-profit, high-return, and high-risk offshore transactions.
For example, if you go to Sunrise Country to trade, you can make more than ten times the profit in one trip, but it may also capsize and leave you with nothing.
Qi Xingyun asked Eunuch Wang Yun to get the customs declaration form and found that the probability of an accident to a large ship with thousands of materials coming in and out was as high as 30%.
Qi Xingyun studied for a long time before saying with a hint of doubt: "In other words, the bigger the ship, the smaller the risk? I have seen that ships with a thousand materials are most likely to have accidents."
Qin Nanshu nodded: "In terms of sea trade, it is true that the bigger the ship, the less likely it is to sink. Even if it leaks, it can be sealed up. It can also be sailed to the Sunrise Country, etc., and repairs will be carried out at the shore."
"So the officials want to build big ships, and the people also need big ships. But now the only big ship with 5,000 materials, the Mulan Boat, needs to be used for various navigation experiments."
