The sun is shining and the sea is sparkling. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoTwo heavy two-masted red sailing ships are quietly parked on the sea, and the flag with the word "jade" is waving in the wind, which seems to indicate the triumphant return of the owner.

After Han Da took a small boat and submitted the Yu family's documents to go to sea. The governor of the inspection team sent a team of men to inspect it. Twenty small warships carrying soldiers surrounded the heavy ship, and the soldiers on board were dressed in armor, with scimitars at their waists, quivers on their backs, and bows and arrows in their hands, and they stared at the big ship with fierce eyes. It seemed that at the first command, the whole ship was shot into a sieve.

Han Da led two deputy inspectors and a Qian Liang master with an abacus to the Chonglou ship. Respectfully invited a few people to the cabin, and stood quietly at the door waiting.

Emperor Dazong allowed maritime trade, but at the same time controlled this area very strictly. Before entering the country, the ship must be inspected by the inspection team to avoid bringing some poisonous and harmful things into the country. And according to the price estimated by the master of money and grain, paying taxes and silver has been the rule since the opening of the sea in the Great Sect.

When this regulation was first implemented, the members of the inspection team inevitably had undesirable thoughts when they saw the strange goods. The people who went on board to inspect the goods casually carried the goods into their arms. The master of money and grain also stretched out his hand, otherwise, there would be an extra amount of silver in terms of silver tax. If your stuff gets to him, he'll even underestimate some of his taxes.

The people below have stretched out their hands, and as the supreme leader of the inspection team, the inspector is naturally indispensable. At the beginning, about 100 taels of rare goods could be cleared. But as time went on, his appetite grew. Suddenly, it was still a miasma of trade.

A month later, the inspector took bribes and put the excerpts of conniving at his subordinates to do evil things on the emperor's desk. The emperor squinted at the two folds, one light and one dark, and there was a faint light flashing in his eyes. These two excerpts record in detail the time and place of the bribes and the things that were said and the price of the things that were taken by the inspectors. Even his subordinates took the money of the shippers at will, which was clearly recorded.

In the early dynasty, the emperor held one of the folds in his hand, and Long Yan was furious and furious. He threw the fold to the ground and circulated it to all the officials in the court. The more the officials looked at it, their eyes widened, and the more they looked, the more frightened they became, and in the end, their shirts were soaked with sweat. I don't want to be so bold as the governor of the inspector, he often stands by the river, and he always has to wet his shoes. What they were shocked to see was that the whole thing was clearly recorded! Suddenly, the entire hall was silent, bowing their heads one by one, trembling and listening to the emperor's teachings.

The emperor sat on the high dragon chair, playfully watching the changes in the faces of the people below, and leisurely sipping the ginseng tea in his hand. When the fold came back to the hands of the applause eunuch beside him. Putting the tea bowl on a few tables, it made a crisp sound, not loud, but enough for everyone in the hall to hear. The hearts of the ministers also "groaned" and swallowed their saliva with difficulty.

The emperor was very angry, and the consequences were serious. The emperor had a black face and reprimanded for half an hour before stopping. To everyone's surprise, this punishment was loud thunder and small rain. It is only that the people involved in the case are to be executed on the spot, and there is no need to escort them back to Beijing, and the bodies are not allowed to be sent back to their hometowns. All the property they had embezzled was confiscated.

Immediately, among those below who were not involved in the case, a governor was randomly raised. With the experience of the previous inspectors, the later governors were quite conscientious. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. With so much white silver flowing in front of you, how can you not be tempted?

As a result, the waters of Fuzhou, which had been sunny for three months, became smoky again. In less than a month, the excerpt was handed to the emperor's desk. The emperor still let the ministers circulate it, and the record of this excerpt is still very clear. The emperor decreed: The officials involved in the case will be beheaded and the three clans will be punished. That is, the wife's family, the mother's family, and the father's family.

For a time, the court was terrified. Everyone watched, waiting for the right time to reach out to Fuzhou, and no one wanted to be a bird.

Like last time, the emperor still chose a person to be the governor very casually. After the governor took office, he conscientiously summed up the experience of the previous two. While carefully inspecting the shippers on the sea, he secretly investigated the nails buried by the emperor in Fuzhou.

The hard work paid off, and finally it took him two years to find the two nails and remove them quietly. Now that you have peace of mind, you don't have to live your life in trepidation. So, he intensified his efforts to ask for money from the former maritime merchants, trying to make up for the losses of the previous two years.

However, history is always strikingly similar. In less than a month, the two folds arrived on the emperor's desk again. The emperor calmly took the fold and circulated it to the ministers. The ministers looked at the detailed excerpts and were suddenly terrified. The emperor's red pen waved lightly: Kill the officials involved in the case and punish the nine clans!

Suddenly, the coast of Fuzhou was full of blood, not only this sea area, but even the sky of Fuzhou was dyed red.

Whether it is the emperor and grandson nobles, or the dignitaries and nobles, they completely stopped the idea of reaching out to Fuzhou. Unexpectedly, this time, the emperor did not choose the governor of Fuzhou as arbitrarily as the last two times, but referred to Lin Yuan, the servant of the criminal department at that time. Once again, those who were eager to try it were caught off guard.

Lin Yuan stood at the bow of a large ship, followed by four guards with knives. His face sank like water, and his eyes were like falcons staring at the sea. The deputy governor of the heavy building ship gestured to the captain of the nearby inspection team. The captain of the inspection team waved a flag and waved the flag to the big boat.

"Governor, it seems that the inspection has been completed, and there is no problem. The messenger beside him whispered. "Hmm!" Lin Yuan nodded lightly. The messenger understood, waved the flag, and asked the captain of the inspection team to let the Yu family's fleet go.

With a wave of the flag of the captain of the inspection team, the twenty small warships quickly retreated, giving way to a large area of the sea. Han Da and the deputy governor and the master came to the big ship again, Lin Yuan glanced at the list of goods presented, his eyes shrank, there were actually fine rosewood and pearls? This person from the Yu family is really unusual! But it is also a good time, if it is the previous two governors, it is estimated that the things of these two ships will not be transported back, and it will be impossible to even enter the country.

He handed the list to the person next to him and nodded faintly. Han Da followed the people to pay the taxes and silver, while the two deputy governors and the money and grain master went to Lu Zhendong's ship. After all the formalities were completed, Han Da wanted Lin Yuan to salute again and leave.

With Lin Yuan's gesture, the big ship slowly moved away, and the sea area that entered the territory of the bulk was unimpeded.
