As expected, several supervisors at Qingyuan Shipyard were imprisoned under the rumors spread by the old official.
Liang Chuan wanted a group of capable people with skills in their hands. These supervisors did not have that, but they did have some real skills like the following junior officials.
From the moment they learned that the ship had been swindled, several supervisors knew that they were doomed, so they did not struggle too much. They left the delicacies of Yuehua Restaurant as if they were chewing wax. After returning home, they explained the funeral arrangements and had a meal at home. After a good meal, he followed several officials into the prison.
Isn't this prison food so easy to eat? It's common for the living to come in and the dead to come out!
Yu Gang also confessed that these officials had completely ruined the reputation of Weiyuan Tower. Last year, Weiyuan Tower did not collect taxes for a few people, and there were a lot of people who tightened their belts and lived a hard life. It was not easy. The court had to bear a huge amount of costs in the shipyard. The dozen or so ships were not a small cost. The cost alone cost the court tens of thousands of dollars. The original budget was to recoup one of the ships by selling them, which was fine. To give some salary to more than 200 people in the shipyard, who would have expected that it would end like this. The money was not recovered, but only 2,000 guan was used to take away the ship!
The boatmen made a fuss at Weiyuan Tower early in the morning!
When a few dog wardens deceived them from home a few years ago, their words were better than what they sang. They said that after completing this job, they would be paid with the ship money received. Now, even shit Didn’t get it!
This is not a small amount of money. There are more than 200 shipwrights and more than 200 families behind them. In total, there are nearly a thousand mouths to eat. Now the shipyard is completely finished and there is absolutely no chance of turning around.
In order to ensure the grain tax paid to Luli this year, Weiyuanlou has tried every means, but it has not yet been able to collect the tax money required by the court. Under such difficult conditions, it is even less possible for the court to use money to subsidize these boatmen. , if you die, just die, it is better than losing your official position!
But how can the boatmen be willing to suffer such a dumb loss!
They worked for nothing last year without giving them any money, so they can just make up for it next year. During the Chinese New Year, they were asked to work for nothing, and now they have cheated the shipyard. It is said that the shipyard used to have some energy, but now it is dead. If you can't die anymore, you will definitely fall!
This money is hopeless!
These dog officials!
To put it bluntly, the boatmen are also hard-working slaves, and they are all full of blood. When they met, they surrounded Weiyuan Tower with water, hoping that the official would make the decision for them!
These officials are not afraid of these ordinary people surrounding the government. This is rebellion, but they are afraid that they don't know how to block everyone's mouth!
Yu Gang himself couldn’t keep it off his face!
We can only use a few manufacturing supervisors to perform surgery!
Yu Gang suspected that the shipyard supervisors were collaborating with the thieves. He originally wanted to sell the ship to Liang Chuan, and maybe he could earn a large kickback. Liang Chuan also came to visit the dock, and the matter was almost certain.
But who leaked the news? If the ship was sold to Liang Chuan, they and the supervisors might not even be able to drink the soup. They must be afraid that the benefits would give them an advantage, so they sold the ship elsewhere first. How can I be lenient with such despicable means to defraud the court of funds?
If Liang Chuan bought the boat, he would definitely come to express his gratitude. Liang Chuan was not seen, so it was definitely not him!
The best way to check for corruption is to search your home. If you have money, it's easy to worry about it. If you don't have money, it's another matter!
These supervisors run Qingyuan Shipyard. Ten years ago, this dilapidated factory was in the same situation as today and was about to close down. It was also very inefficient. Fortunately, they met Liang Chuan, who paid a large sum of money to order from the shipyard. There were many treasure ships and warships, and it was these orders that brought the shipyard back from the brink of bankruptcy.
Since then, Qingyuan Shipyard has turned a profit, and its daily income is an astronomical figure!
The shipyard can make money, and of course the errands there also make money!
Since Liangchuan took control of Qingyuan Port, the maritime trade volume of the entire southeast has increased more than ten times! A large number of sea-going ships poured into this port, and among them, 60% of the sea-going ships came from Qingyuan Shipyard.
Naturally, the ones who benefited the most were the officials in charge of supervising the construction of sea-going ships!
They belong to the Municipal Shipping Department, but the Municipal Shipping Department has almost zero supervision of this state-owned enterprise.
Such a large shipping company would be very fat just to take advantage of the benefits brought by the port office. It would attack everywhere, take advantage of all the benefits, and leave some for others to enjoy.
The shipyard's profits are also very high!
In the most prosperous years of the port, as long as you have a sea-going ship, you can make money. If you buy the same goods as others, take the same route, and reach the South Sea or the North safely, the goods can bring profits and returns!
It is so easy to make money, but buying a boat is not easy! After several years of expansion, Qingyuan Shipyard's output has increased many times, but it is still unable to meet the needs of the port. Especially for large sea-going ships, there are only a dozen or so ships every year.
Anyone who wants to get a seagoing ship needs to have a very large network of contacts and be willing to spend money. Whoever makes the money is naturally the construction supervisors of several shipyards.
The benefits they get from favors alone are enough for them to spend in eight lifetimes, but there are more ways for the shipyard to make money, from the purchase of raw materials to the allocation of ship workers' positions and recruitment, as long as it is something within the shipyard, There is a chance to squeeze out oil!
Over the past few years, several supervisors have earned countless amounts of gold and silver. They could not keep the money in banks, so they kept it in their own homes!
Weiyuan Tower ransacked their homes and confiscated wealth from the homes of several officials in charge of ships, which they dared not even imagine!
The combined wealth of several officials amounted to one hundred thousand yuan!
Yu Gang was happy, this year’s taxes are coming soon!
Just give a few supervising officials a few random hats, and even if the money is confiscated and put into the national treasury, they will not be able to serve as magistrates.
It’s easy to find charges. These supervisors’ monthly salary is only 20 yuan. How can they save so much money? Beat them, beat them hard, there must be cowards under torture!
The supervisor told the truth, the money was just for greed. .
Yu Gang was satisfied and moved all the money to the warehouse. As for the boatman, that was none of his business!
The poor boatmen hadn't received any money for a year, and they didn't have a share in the money that was finally extracted.
According to Song law, the money from the supervisor's family is stolen money. According to the process, it is naturally handed over to the state treasury and distributed among them? That's a big sin!
The boatmen didn't even have a chance to refute, they just watched the money disappear. They wanted to make trouble, but that Hu Yanshuang, the superintendent of Quanzhou, was not a good troublemaker, and the people who had caused trouble and died at his hands over the years were not. few!
Who dares to make trouble?
When the supervisors heard that their home had been ransacked, they just hoped to survive!
A few people were not that stupid. After thinking about the whole thing, everyone put their anger on Liang Zao!
They knew who introduced this Yelu Zhongguang, and they immediately confessed Liang Zao!
Poor Liang Zao, after a complete operation, it was he, the little superintendent, the little boss of the shipyard and the little engineer who was finally kidnapped to prison. .
At the moment when the shipyard was finished, Liang Chuan watched with his own eyes several supervisors walking in front of him and being kidnapped to prison by people from Weiyuan Building. He knew better than anyone else that this time, he was really dead!
Because Yelu Zhongguang is the person he found, from Liangchuan!
Who is Liang Chuan? He is a Japanese bandit!
He asked people from Liangchuan to come and buy a boat, but Liang Zao was also a Japanese!
But can Liang Zao say that? Definitely not!
This kid turned out to be the hardest nut to crack among several people!
After being interrogated in the prison for several days, he didn't say a word "Liang". He knew that if Liang Chuan was confessed, he would die. Instead of doing this, it would be better to put all the blame on a few supervisors, and Yelu Zhongguang and the others couldn't catch the chance of survival anyway, so there was no way to prove it!
Facts have proved that Liang Zao is worthy of being the clear-headed one among the four King Kongs that Liang Chuan first met Qingyuan. He was the only one who was helpless, but unlike Si Fangxing and Linghu who went astray, he went all the way to the end. . Until Liang Chuan took notice of him.
Seeing Liang Chuan go to jail, Yelu Zhongguang finally started to take action, preparing to arrest him!
He first asked Wei Xiangguan to go to the city to spread rumors again, saying that the imperial court was planning to abandon the car to protect the commander, and asked Liang Zao and other minions to take the blame, because Yu Gang had received money from several supervisors. .
The car was made by Liang, and Shuai was made by several supervisors. Yu Gang even wanted to laugh when he heard this. He had received money from others, hundreds of thousands of dollars, which was not small money. .
But why should he deal with someone?
Ordinary people would not think this way. The version currently spread among the people is all based on the story, saying that several supervisors bribed Yu Gang with all their wealth, intending to save their own lives and let their subordinates take the blame and die. .
Then he bribed the warden Kong Mu in Qingyuan Prison and told them not to deal too hard with Liang Zao, otherwise all their efforts would be in vain.
Liang Zao's own harsh words, coupled with the rumors spread by Yelu Zhongguang outside, actually saved Liang Zao's life in the end. Weiyuan Tower tried again and again in Liang Zao's place, but nothing came of it. Liang Zao was usually just He is taciturn and relatively steady in his work. What does this have to do with him? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that several supervisors just want to scapegoat, but there are different people to blame, so why find someone like Liang Zao? How difficult it is to take the blame. .
Poor Liang Zao was dragged into prison and beaten in such a confused manner, and then he was released, removed from all his posts, and reduced his position to serve the people. .
Just overnight, Liang Zao lost everything. .
Yelv Chongguang looked at Liang Zao who was in a state of despair after he came out of prison. He greeted him with a smile and said, "Our boss invites Brother Liang to go somewhere." . '
Liang Zao looked confused. He saw a dozen large ships sailing into Qingyuan Port in the dark night. Countless people suddenly appeared on the dock. Liang Zao didn't know where these people were going, but at this time he had no choice. Yelu Zhongguang couldn't help it. He did not get on the boat, but obediently followed the crowd and crowded into the ship, taking advantage of the darkness to enter the Manyizhou Strait. .
