Chapter 25 Whistling, Doing Things (2)(1/2)
The heavy rain fell on the sea and was immediately swallowed by the waves, and the waves did not even turn up.
On a rainy night, several large ships docked in the port, like sleeping giant beasts.
There were lights on the boat, flickering light and dark.
The customs inspector wearing a straw raincoat took two or three people impatiently to jump onto the moored ship.
On the big ship, the manager brought a few sailors and greeted him with a smile.
"I'm sorry to ask your elder brother Zhang to come here in person this day, I feel sorry!" said the manager.
Then, he quickly waved his hand and asked someone to help the tax collector and others take off the raincoat and serve hot tea.
The tax collector named Zhang is obviously the leader among these tax collectors. He is wearing soapy green public uniforms and smiles, "I know I have worked hard, but I'm going to sea at this time? So are you? The weather doesn't come out, so I have to.
Isn’t this difficult thing for people to come out of this ghost weather?"
"Oh my good brother!" The merchant ship manager looked at it a round bigger than the tax collector Zhang, but he still called the brother intimately, "The villain doesn't want to be a clerk, but the boss said that this batch of goods in Quanzhou is in the future.
I’m going to be anxious, otherwise, who wouldn’t want to be warm at home with his wife and children in this weather!”
The tax collector named Zhang sat down in the cabin with a big golden sword and smiled squintedly, "Goddess, you guys who do business, as long as you have money to earn, you will come out from all over the world." As he said that, he sighed,
"Hey, don't look at me wearing official clothes, but compared with you, you'll live a better life!"
"Look at what you said, you are the one who is responsible for the emperor. The young people are just working hard to make some money, one is in the sky and the other is in the ground. Even if the villains make some hard money, how can they compare with you?
You can cut off the villain's wealth in just one word!" The manager smiled and flattered.
Taxpay Zhang smiled and said, "Okay, I don't have time to listen to you nonsense." As he said, he said to the people who followed him, "Brothers, work hard, start working hard!"
"Let all ships open the cargo holds!" A stern man beside Tax Publican Zhang shouted, "Take out the reported bills, we man must verify them!"
"It should be!" The manager smiled and said, "The young people have prepared these things long ago!" As he said that, he took out the customs stamped documents from his sleeves and the goods' vouchers and receipts, and handed them out of his sleeves.
Into the hands of tax collector Zhang.
Tax Publican Zhang took it and opened the stacked bills, and immediately smiled.
The top of the bill is a Dadeheng Longtou silver note that is redeemable at the z place. The silver note is raised with the word Wu.
At this moment, Tax Publice Zhang quietly folded the silver notes, handed them to the people around him, and smiled, "The people from the Zhou family are just sensible and know the rules, so that we can't be too verbose!"
"That's right, that's right, I looked down and saw him. Where can we get the courage to cause trouble for Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang!" The manager smiled and said, "The goods on the ship are exactly the same as the goods on the ticket. The sea route to Quanzhou is the same as the goods on the ticket.
The ticket quote is also the newly stamped seal yesterday!”
"Go, check it!" Zhang Taxun said to the people around him.
Several men who came on board with him went to various places.
"There is no taboo on the ship, right?" In the cabin, Tax Publice Zhang asked in a low voice.
"How can it be!" said the manager hurriedly, "How dare the villain cause trouble for you!"
Tax Publican Zhang pinched the silver notes in her sleeves, nodded, and shouted to the busy people outside, "Brothers, be quick, this ghost weather is all sticky!"
A moment later, several tax collectors came back braved the rain.
The so-called inspection is just a gesture, just look at it. If you really need to check it out, the three ships will not be able to be found out by a few of them.
"It's almost done!" a tax collector said to Zhang.
"Okay!" Zhang Taxun stood up, "Then let it go!" After saying that, he looked at the manager of the merchant ship.
"Then I'll always stamp it!" The manager handed over a bill, and calmly took a large bowl of money from the person behind him and stuffed it directly into the hands of a tax collector. "Thank you for your hard work, several people
, a little tea, everyone goes back and drink it!”
The tax collector smiled and took it over and considered it, nodded and put it in his arms.
This bag of money is less than 200, and they can share the money, and they will get the salary for more than half a year. After a while, I believe that the gap between the tax collector Zhang’s fingers will leak.
The customs errand is really not replaced by a county magistrate.
This money is fast and light!
Tax Publican Zhang took out the official seal from his waist and stamped the document.
"Okay!"
"Hurry up and see you off!" The merchant's manager laughed and ordered the sailors.
With this document to leave the customs, even if you encounter an official boat on the sea, you will not be afraid. After leaving the customs, you will be unobstructed.
"Let's go!" Zhang Taxun Zhang put on a straw raincoat again, walked to the edge of the boat, and wanted to follow the ladder to the boat.
However, just as he set off, his movements suddenly stopped and looked at the dark sea in confusion.
Over there, lights suddenly lit up, and several small boats came against the wind and rain.
"What's the boat in this weather?" Zhang Taxun murmured.
"What I'm talking about!" The merchant ship manager was also a little confused. Then as the small boats got closer, his puzzled expression turned into horror, "The flying fish flag of the Jinyiwei!"
"Grandma!" Zhang Taxun jumped up directly, "Damn it, hurry up, hide me!"
However, it was too late, and several small boats were extremely fast and directly approaching the large ship.
On the boat, the men wearing flying fish suits shouted in unison.
"The Jinyiwei investigates the case and drops the anchor and sail. Violators will be killed without any attention!"
~~~
Bang bang bang bang, one after another of the fierce Jinyiwei men jumped onto the big ship with a knife and crossbow, forming a triangular attack formation at the bow of the ship.
The merchant ship manager suppressed the panic in his heart, and went forward and took a closer look.
"Oh, isn't this Li Qianhu? What wind blows you? Do you need to check it out? The villain's boat..."
Bang, the leading Ningbo command post, Li Wenyi slapped in the face and slapped him.
"Dog guy, did you call me my name?"
"Finish!" The merchant ship manager immediately felt desperate.
On the surface, he was the manager of these three ships, but in fact he was highly valued by his boss, otherwise such a heavy responsibility would not be handed over to him. In Ningbo City, he was a manager of the business, and he was also somewhat respectful in the face of the official position.
The Jinyiwei of the Zhou family's merchant ship has never been spot checked. Li Qianhu has met him several times on weekdays and is always polite when he meets him. Today, he suddenly comes and looks like a formal tone.
It's over!
"Mr. Li!" The manager was so smart, he smiled flatteringly, regardless of the stars, "You are so angry, oh, go into the cabin to rest. The villain has no rules and is so angry that he has provoked you, don't be angry!"
Li Wenyi glanced at the bow of the boat, the manager, the sailor, the guy, and a few tax collectors hiding in the corner.
It’s okay for tax collectors, but those guys and sailors are all burly figures and broad shoulders. They are all martial artists at first glance.
"Take out all kinds of bills and check!" Li Wenyi said loudly.
"This......" The manager was stunned.
"Take it out!" Li Wenyi yelled.
The manager looked around. The more Jinyiwei men boarded the ship, and they looked bad, so they could only hand over the bills. "Mr. Li, the Zhou family's ship, you don't look at the monk..."
Bang, another mouth twitched.
Li Wenyi snorted coldly, "The one who caught you Zhou family!"
Before he finished speaking, the bills in his hand had been taken away by Zhang Dabiao beside him, and he shouted, "Brothers, search carefully!"
The silent pier suddenly boiled.
The Jinyiwei carried rain-proof lights, grouped in three or five people, and began to check in the cargo hold.
"Tsk tsk, I'm going to Quanzhou!" Zhang Dabiao looked at the bill in his hand and said disdainfully, "I'm fooling around!"
The merchant ship manager was shocked, "Who is this lord?"
"I am your father!" Zhang Dabiao looked at him coldly, full of mockery.
Suddenly, the shouts of Jinyiwei came from the cabin not far away, "Sir Qianhu, there is something wrong with it. There is a mezzanine in the cargo hold. It contains cowhide, cow horns and tendons!"
"Hmm?" Zhang Dabiao's face suddenly appeared ferociously.
Cowhide, cow horns and tendons are all strictly controlled in the Ming Dynasty, because these things are the materials for making good bows.
Slowly, Zhang Dabiao rushed over without caring about the rain on his head.
"Didn't you say there was no ban?" Zhang Taxun scolded at the merchant ship manager.
"What's the use of saying this now?" The manager jumped, "Come on, go and notify me!"
"The big manager, brothers can't leave. There are Jinyiwei around, and there are hundreds of them!"
Suddenly, the manager's face was ashamed and shouted, "Hurry, let the people in the dark cabin hide it!"
But at this moment, before he could finish his words, the cabin exclaimed.
"Someone!"
“Bagya Deer…….”
