Chapter 316: Building Roads and Bridges

Xi Shutong received the respect he deserved, was very satisfied, and said, "Get up!" ”

The man got up and said, "Shangguan, please come inside!" He led the way, led the three of them to the third hall to rest, and instructed his subordinates to serve good tea and snacks, and said: "Shangguan wait a minute, the little one will go and invite my master!" ”

With that, he trotted forward again.

Quanzhou prefect He Zhiquan is trying the case in the lobby!

Standing in the audience, the plaintiff and the defendant knelt down, and both sides made heated arguments, saying that they were reasonable.

He Zhiquan didn't listen to a word, but put two lists on the headache case to be sent to the imperial court.

The two lists are the same content, and they are both tribute orders for the foreign side to pay tribute to the imperial court.

Since Emperor Yongle ordered Zheng He to go to the West seven times, there are foreign docks at Quanzhou Wharf every year to pay tribute to the imperial court.

said that it was a tribute, but in fact, the officials and even the people of the Ming Dynasty understood that they wanted benefits from the Ming Dynasty as a wronged leader.

These things that pay tribute to one or two pieces of silver are often rewarded ten times or even a hundred times, where can such good things be found? Therefore, the foreign fans are tired of this, and the imperial court has a headache, and often orders Fujian to screen these foreign countries, so as not to change the names of several countries in a year and repeat the tribute.

The Fujian political envoy also ordered the Quanzhou prefect to conduct screening.

He Zhiquan didn't feel sorry before, anyway, he knew that there were a few foreign countries who came to pay tribute every year, and it was a dream to make up a country name to deceive him.

It doesn't matter which country you are from, first come to inspect the goods, and after the inspection of the goods, go to the capital, once a year, please miss next year. The prefect is fair and just, and the children are not bullied.

The reason why I am embarrassed today is because these two lists belong to the same country, and they were delivered at the same time in one day. The only difference is that one comes in the morning and the other comes in the evening.

This has never been encountered before, how could it be so coincidental.

He inquired in many ways and learned that the king of the Japanese kingdom was young, and the doctor controlled the state affairs. Zuo Jing Zhao Nei Yi Xing sent monks to set up tribute, and right Jing Zhao Hosokawa Gao also sent Rui Zuo and Chinese merchant Song Suqing to pay tribute.

The two Jingzhao sent envoys at the same time, one was to obtain a huge return. Second, because whoever can send tribute to the capital is equivalent to being recognized by the Ming Dynasty, and the power will naturally be consolidated!

Therefore, the two missions set off and arrived at the same time almost at the same time, and the mission led by Ruizo was only a few hours later than the Sangha had set up!

It is said that if it is late, it will be late, not to mention a few hours late, it will be an hour late, a meal time, and a tea time will also be late!

It can only be regarded as Ruizo's bad luck, please be early next year.

But that's how it happened! He happened to be absent from the yamen that day, and he didn't know that the monk had sent the tribute to the yamen. And when he returned to the yamen, he happened to run into Song Suqing halfway through, and he had to pull him to drink!

Song Suqing wanted to invite him to drink, but He Zhiquan was not easy to refuse.

Song Suqing is the richest man in the coastal area! Why did he become the richest man in the coastal area because Song Suqing found a way to make money?

He found that one tael of gold in the Ming Dynasty could be exchanged for ten taels of silver, while one tael of gold in the Wa Kingdom could only be exchanged for three taels of silver. He went to Japan with silver from Daming, and then exchanged it for gold to pull it back, although it was extremely risky, and it was a tsunami and a pirate, but he could make a huge profit, and he became the richest man in the coastal area in just over ten years.

If Song Suqing was only the richest man in the coastal area, He Zhiquan would still refuse to eat, but the problem was that Song Suqing was still one of the four pirate leaders.

There are many opinions about why Song Suqing changed from a businessman to a pirate, and He Zhiquan thinks that the most reliable statement should be that Song Suqing formed pirates in order to monopolize this business and prevent others from getting involved, so as to crack down on those who want to do this business, so as to achieve the purpose of monopoly.

The pirates were outlaws, which provoked Song Suqing to rise up and arrange a few killers to ambush them halfway, and the prefect could only worry all day long!

If Song Suqing was only the richest man and a pirate, He Zhiquan would still be able to refuse to eat if he was ruthless!

Aren't you the richest man? I will send people from the inspection department to inspect your shop all day long, and prohibit your ship from docking, I will see how you are the richest man!

Aren't you a pirate? I'll send more guards and see what you can do to me!"

The problem is, Song Suqing is a person with a flying fish suit! is also the person of Jinyiwei!

How did Song Suqing's flying fish suit come about? It was bought from Liu Jin for a thousand taels of gold. Now that Liu Jin is ambushed, Song Suqing is still not Jinyiwei, no one can say!

After all, Jinyiwei is pervasive, and no one dares to guarantee that Song Suqing is no longer Jinyiwei now. In case, Song Suqing is a businessman and pirate on the surface, but she is a Jinyi guard behind the scenes, isn't that a joke about her future?

Therefore, He Zhiquan happily agreed to Song Suqing's invitation, and the two of them chartered the restaurant, called a few young and beautiful girls, and drank flower wine.

After the wine, Song Suqing left a box containing 1,000 taels of gold and a tribute list from the Ruizo Mission.

When he returned to the prefect's yamen, he woke up from a sleep, and He Zhiquan saw that the tribute of the monk's mission arrived at the yamen one step earlier than that of the Ruizuo mission, how could he not have a headache.

The gold has been collected, and it is really reluctant to return it, it is even more painful than cutting meat! Besides, will you accept it if you return it to Song Suqing? What do you want? What do you think Song Suqing should do? Are you playing with people? Treat people as soft eggs and bully them casually?

He Zhiquan's headache was about to crack, but he still couldn't think of a way!

Song Suqing is not easy to offend, so the monk is good to offend? These Japanese people are simply demon kings who kill people without blinking, and the Japanese are proof of this. In case because of this injustice, the monks are furious and cause chaos, how to end it!

With headaches and headaches, he finally made up his mind. Song Suqing couldn't be offended, so she had to offend the monk sect. No matter how horizontal the monk sect is, he dares to be horizontal on the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but he is against him, believe it or not, Lao Tzu led the army to destroy him!

At this time, there was a whisper from behind the screen standing behind him: "My lord, the envoy of the Sentencing Department has visited, accompanied by the Sentencing Envoy from Henan, who has been welcomed to the third hall by the small one!" ”

He Zhiquan snorted softly to show that he understood.

The sentence is brought to the prosecutor, and it is still a matter of fact, and it cannot be neglected. Although it is said that it is a criminal envoy from another province, who can guarantee that people will not be needed in the future! What if one day someone is promoted, he will be directly transferred to the capital to enter the Sixth Ministry or come to Fujian to become a political envoy? So it's better to build a road and a bridge in advance!

What's more, people still have something to accompany him, which shows that Liu Shihu attaches great importance to this matter.

He coughed and said, "In view of the seriousness of the case, next time I will retry and retire!" "Let's say, in the chorus of shouts and shouts of soap, I paced past the screen, walked out the back door, and hurried towards the third hall!

Before he arrived at the main gate of the third hall, he had already laughed heartily and said: "Shangguan personally, the lower official has missed the distance, forgive the sin!" As he spoke, he entered the hall door, lifted his clothes, and made a gesture to kneel down to Xi Shutong and Feng Jiangting.

Xi Shutong is only five products, how dare he be worshiped by He Zhiquan. Although Feng Jiangting is a third-grade person, he is an envoy from other provinces, and he is not easy to worship He Zhiquan.

The two stepped forward at the same time and held He Zhiquan with one hand.
