The wind direction of Inspector Yuan and Liaoxi was much faster than Li Yuanqing expected.

On 15 September, Liaoxi sent a telegram to Li Yuanqing, saying that Inspector Yuan would inspect Changsheng Island in the near future.

But this express was sent in the morning, and in the evening, Inspector Yuan's boat had already arrived at the Nanxinkou wharf.

Chen Zhong was simply a little 'shocked' by Inspector Yuan's move, and hurriedly said: "Yuan Qing, this, is this Yuan barbarian crazy?" He~, what the hell does he want to do? ”

Li Yuanqing was also a little frightened in his heart, but soon, he forced himself to calm down.

There is no wind and no waves.

Even if there was news from Wu Sangui's side in advance, Li Yuanqing knew that he still underestimated Inspector Yuan's methods.

"Big brother, Inspector Yuan must have come prepared for this trip. If you and I cover up, I am afraid that we will fall into the inferior. Big brother, you clean up as soon as possible, let's go to the dock immediately to meet Inspector Yuan. ”

Chen Zhong also understood what Li Yuanqing meant for a moment, and nodded heavily, "Yuanqing, so far, it can only be like this!" ”

The two quickly changed into regular official robes, notified the generals of the Changsheng Battalion, and quickly rushed to the dock with Shang Lao Liu, Ma Steward and other important officials of the Political Affairs Department and a group of personal soldiers, to greet the driver of Inspector Yuan and his party.

Inspector Yuan's trip also became the second highest-ranking member of Liaodi to visit Changsheng Island in person since Sun Chengzong came to Changsheng Island in person!

The size of Inspector Yuan's fleet was not too large, but it was by no means small, with two large ships, seven or eight medium-sized fast boats, and a small force of 2,000 people.

When Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong and their entourage arrived at the wharf, Inspector Yuan was wearing a luxurious python robe and jade belt, wearing a regular black veil, looking at the scenery of the wharf with great interest.

Looking at his appearance, he seems to be in a good mood.

Li Yuanqing didn't dare to be too lazy, so he quickly turned over and dismounted, walked quickly in front of Inspector Yuan, and knelt on the ground respectfully, "Li Yuanqing, the chief soldier of Changsheng Island, has seen Lord Governor. ”

Chen Zhong is also average.

Inspector Yuan smiled faintly: "Li Junmen, Chen Junmen, please get up quickly." This is a private visit, so there is no need to be too restrained. ”

Chen Zhong didn't expect Inspector Yuan's attitude to be so soft for a while, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Li Yuanqing reacted instantly, hurriedly rubbed Chen Zhong, and said respectfully: "Thank you for your love." "Get up carefully.

Only then did Chen Zhong react, and he got up cautiously and stood beside him respectfully.

Inspector Yuan looked at the busy civil wharf not far away and said with a smile: "Li Junmen, this wharf occupies a lot of land." On weekdays, there are so many ships on Changsheng Island, using such a large dock? ”

Li Yuanqing hurriedly smiled respectfully: "Reply to the words of the governor." In addition to agriculture, another major income of Changsheng Island is fishing. In addition, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea, Changsheng Island also has some business contacts on weekdays, so he gritted his teeth and built this wharf bigger, on the one hand, it can rush down the façade, on the other hand, when it goes out, it can also be mobilized more quickly. ”

"Huh."

Inspector Yuan was very satisfied with Li Yuanqing's answer, and said with a faint smile: "Li Junmen's courage is amazing. Not bad, very good. ”

As he spoke, he walked slowly and methodically to the direction of the dock in front of him, and after a moment, he turned around and smiled: "Li Junmen Chen Junmen is willing to accompany this official and go around the dock?" ”

Inspector Yuan was already the undisputed supreme member of Liaodi at this time, and he had already spoken, so how could Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong refute his face in public?

Busy and cautious behind Inspector Yuan.

At this time, the military wharf in Nanxinkou was very close to the civilian wharf, almost inseparable from each other, only separated by a simple wooden fence that was not too high.

This is mainly to maximize the energy and power of the dock in the event of a large-scale war mobilization.

After all, when Li Yuanqing first came to Changsheng Island, he was simply poor, so he naturally wanted to maximize the use of resources.

Of course, between the civilian dock and the military dock, the soldiers on duty are still very well defended.

At this time, it is the middle of September, which is the traditional fishing season of Changsheng Island, although there are not many merchant ships coming and going, but the large and small fishing boats are densely packed, in and out, indescribably prosperous.

Inspector Yuan was very interested, and personally came to a fishing boat that was unloading fish, talked with the 'fishermen' affectionately, and said with a smile: "This strong man, how is the harvest today?" ”

The person who was questioned was a middle-aged man in his early forties, very strong, with dark skin, even though it was already a little cold at this time, he only wore an open undershirt on his upper body, and the trousers under his feet were also soaked, except for the black cowhide boots, which were very bright because they were stained with a lot of water.

Seeing that Inspector Yuan actually questioned this fisherman, Chen Zhong couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly pulled Li Yuanqing beside him.

Li Yuanqing signaled with his eyes, so that Chen Zhong didn't have to worry too much.

Because these 'fishermen' on Changsheng Island, they are all fishermen under Li Yuanqing, they have all undergone a certain degree of military training, they are fishermen during the fishing season, but they are all qualified sailors during the war.

It's just that Inspector Yuan, including Chen Zhong, doesn't know the details.

Although this 'fisherman' man is honest, as soon as he saw that their handsome man was waiting for this civil official in a python robe and jade belt, he naturally understood that this civil official must be a big man.

Busy Han smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth: "Reply to the words of the official master." The small one's harvest today is not bad, it is estimated that there are four or five big fish, shrimp and crabs, and it is estimated that there will be at least seventeen or eighteen taels of silver in the account. ”

"Oh? Seventeen or eighteen? That's not a small amount. ”

Inspector Yuan's face changed slightly, but he returned to his natural nature in a moment, and said with a pleasant smile: "This strong man, how long can this fishing season last?" How much money can you earn during this time? How much labor will be consumed? ”

Although Inspector Yuan is arrogant and unpredictable, he is a native of Dongguan and still knows some about fishing.

The questions asked at this time are also very close to professionalism.

The fisherman hurriedly smiled and said, "Master official, listen to your accent, you are from the south, right?" Our Changsheng Island is not as warm as the south. Our Changsheng Island generally starts fishing from the end of August to the beginning of October, which is only a month and a half. If you are lucky, this month and a half, the small gross profit can be about three or five hundred taels of silver. However, the official lord, although the small ship is not too big, but the manpower and various expenses are by no means small, and then go to the tax, and finally, in the small hand, there will be a hundred taels of silver left. ”

"A hundred or two?"

Inspector Yuan was taken aback, he never thought that the fishing season on Changsheng Island would allow an ordinary fisherman to have so many harvests, and he hurriedly said: "This strong man, this official sees, the number of fish and shrimp caught by so many of your fishing boats going to sea together is not small, right?" This Changsheng Island is such a big place, can consume so many fish and shrimp? ”

After a while, seeing that this fisherman man didn't seem to understand what he meant too much, Inspector Yuan hurriedly said: "This strong man, what this official means is that these fish and shrimp of yours have so many colleagues competing, can you ensure that they are sold at a good price?" ”

Behind him, Li Yuanqing couldn't help but nod secretly.

Inspector Yuan...... Although he is a little unreasonable, his knowledge and knowledge are obviously a grade higher than that of ordinary Ming bureaucrats.

Even if he was pretending to be soft towards this fisherman at this time, he had done quite well.

After all, he crawled out of the mud soup at the bottom, and over the years, he has not suffered less, Inspector Yuan's 'official-oriented' thinking, pomp and circumstance, and more, he treats Li Yuanqing, these mud-legged generals, and he still has some patience with the people at the bottom.

The fisherman also understood what Inspector Yuan meant at this time, and said with a busy smile: "If you go back to the official master, although our Changsheng Island is not big, there are not a few foreign merchants, and there are many restaurants. Good fresh fish, generally big restaurants will come to buy. If it is worse, the people can eat some of it, and most of us will stay and eat the rest. As for the middle ones, we are generally sold to our handsome. ”

"Sell to the marshal?"

Inspector Yuan couldn't help but turn around and look at Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing hurriedly bowed his hand respectfully and explained: "Governor, that's the case. After all, Changsheng Island is an island, with limited land resources, and in terms of military supplies, it only relies on livestock, and it is inevitable that it will be a little inadequate. Later, he learned a method from the common people, and processed the fresh fish caught from the fishing season on the island into crispy fish and stored it in a jar. In this way, it not only saves money and is delicious compared to salted fish, but also helps the people solve some problems. ”

Inspector Yuan is not a stupid person, and after a moment, he understood the wonderful use of Li Yuanqing's 'circulatory system', and couldn't help but nod thoughtfully, "Wonderful!" Wonderful! Li Junmen, your method is really wonderful! Even this official has benefited a lot! ”

As he spoke, he looked at the fisherman again and said with a smile: "This strong man, do you have any good fish today?" I want to buy two to try it! ”

How dare this fisherman slack off? Hurriedly opened the net, picked out the two largest yellow flowers from it, and picked out a few fresh crab roe and lobster, and carefully placed them in front of Inspector Yuan, "Official, these are the freshest goods, you don't have to do anything, boiled and steamed, a little sprinkling of salt and green onions, it is already delicious enough." The little one dedicated these to the official master. ”

The fisherman hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times.

Inspector Yuan was overjoyed, and couldn't help laughing: "Good, good!" Strong man, your mind has been received. But~, you have worked so hard to go out to sea to fish, how can this official take advantage of you? Come, bring the money. ”

After a while, a small servant hurriedly took a money bag and handed it to Inspector Yuan.

Inspector Yuan took out a handful of silver chips, almost eight ~ nine taels, ten taels, and stuffed them directly into the fisherman's hand, and said with a smile: "Strong man, tonight, this official will taste this fresh fish according to what you say." ”

"Master official, this, how can this be done?"

How dare this fisherman ask for Inspector Yuan's silver, he is busy and wants to return it to Inspector Yuan.

Inspector Yuan laughed, "Zhuangshi, you don't want this silver, this official's meal tonight is not delicious." Take it. Tomorrow, if you have another good harvest, the official will come and buy your fish. ”

As he spoke, Inspector Yuan laughed and turned to leave.

"This ......"

The fisherman man was busy looking at Li Yuanqing, but Li Yuanqing looked at his nose and heart, and did not look at him at all, and hurriedly followed behind Inspector Yuan.

After a while, the fisherman also reacted, and hurriedly kowtowed to Inspector Yuan's back and shouted, "Master Xie Qingtian! Thank you, Lord Qingtian! ”

Inspector Yuan couldn't help but feel more happy, and he walked a little whirring.

Back at the military port, it was already slightly dark, and Li Yuanqing hurriedly asked carefully: "Governor, tonight, your food and lodging ......?"

Inspector Yuan smiled and waved his hand, "Li Junmen, didn't the official say it just now?" Today, the official will taste this fresh fish according to what the strong man just said. Also, it's too late today, so let's go into the city again tomorrow. The official brought a tent with him on this trip. Well, tonight, let's camp on this side of the docks. ”

The official level crushed people to death.

Not to mention, it's him Inspector Yuan.

He had already spoken, how could Li Yuanqing refute it?

Mo said that he was going to camp at the dock, even if he was going to camp at sea, Li Yuanqing would naturally obey his wishes.

Soon, the entire military dock quickly began to get busy.
