It was nearly June, and the summer in Guangdong was scorching, and Li Xi was going to Guangzhou again. He wants to take the Xiucai exam in Shaozhou, and the purpose of going to Guangzhou is to finalize cooperation with the An family, after all, someone stuffed a girl here, and he always had to reply on the scene. In addition, it is necessary to deal with the beginning and end of the ship. Li Shi has been in retreat for more than a month, but the gods and goddesses in Guangzhou have made a lot of trouble in this month, just for the sake of the boat, which Li Shi and even Duan Hongshi did not expect.

In the past, the Qing court's control of river boats only fell on individual ships and ship owners, and Li Xian's ship line was a new thing, and Governor Man Pi decided that this was his matter of patrolling the yamen, so he was stunned and greeted Zhao Hongcan and said that he would issue an official photo. Zhao Hongcan quit, saying that the boat ran the entire Beijiang River, not only involving civil affairs, but also related to military affairs, and should be issued by the governor Yamen.

supervised this dispute, and the people below also hurriedly stretched out their hands. Ye Yang, the prefect of Guangzhou, was the first to jump up, although his Guangzhou Mansion was prosperous in commerce and trade, it was a fat difference, but there was Guangdong Customs, there was Panyu County in the South China Sea, and there was a governor in the same city. Relying on the special relationship behind him, he also stiffened his neck and said that the ship line was in his Guangzhou Mansion, and it should be directly managed by the Guangzhou Mansion.

With him rushing in front, the head snake Nanhai County also jumped up, and Li Zhushou, who was still in Guangzhou City, hurriedly interjected, saying that the proprietor was in Yingde, so he should be in charge of Yingde. Now that everyone remembers that there is still a-stirring stick in Guangdong officialdom waiting for a reward.

Zhao Hongcan and Man Pi pondered, this Li Zhushou first caused the Yang Chun Rebellion, and then stirred up the Guangdong Prefecture and County case, and now the rice price turmoil is on the cusp of the waves, which is really too capable. Hurriedly sent God to the north, and did not mention the matter of the boat line first, and wrote the credit of Li Zhushou directly, so that this guy got a chance to enter Beijing, and walked away with three shakes.

Li Zhushou reminded the political envoy of the Bu political envoy and said that since everyone was fighting, he would report directly to the household department, and the household department would issue a license. At this time, the governor of Fufu County did not fight, but came to persuade the political envoy to get this matter to Beijing, most of which was to be rejected by the Beijing Ministry, and the ship was banned, forcing Li Shi to turn the ship into his own fleet, and everyone did not get any money. Just like the successive governors have applied to open mines in Guangdong, which is not only to appease the locality, but also to increase the wealth of the locality, but every time they will be refuted by the Beijing Ministry, those grandsons will not see us get rich.

It's right to think about it, the political envoy just closed his eyes and watched, anyway, no matter who it falls into, he will have to take the account from his domain in the end. So things kept going on like this, and when Li Xian's retreat was over, he hadn't been torn up clearly, which made Li Xi and Duan Hong sigh from time to time that there were many articles in this fairy land.

After "leaving the customs", seeing that the government had not yet come up with a charter for the shipping company, Li Xianzhong quickly stepped up and instructed Peng Xianzhong to buy the tidal flat land southwest of Xiguan, almost across the river from the Yanghang wharf, and prepare to build a shipping wharf there. This also pushed the Guangzhou government, making his voice on this matter a few decibels, after all, the shipping industry fell in Guangzhou, even if he couldn't hold it all, how could he intervene and exert force on several sides, and this matter was even more deadlocked.

All parties have a piece of cake, but they are not stupid people, knowing that they are too ruthless, Li Yan gritted his teeth, scattered the ship, and turned into a trafficking merchant, and privately received the waybill of the merchant, and no one could get good. Li Xian was able to show the boat, which had already given the government sweetness, so he didn't think that the knife was too heavy, and Peng Xianzhong would spin and plan for another week, and this stalemate situation would be transformed into a tacit understanding that all parties would take a few points.

The final solution is very strange, the identity of the boat company was split into several parts, one part is the Beijiang boat mutual insurance contract, Li Xi turned into a big man who took charge of the peace and security of the Beijiang River, all the affairs related to public security and theft on the Beijiang River, the government directly looked for Li Xi first, after all, his current boat line is the most powerful in Beijiang, this is the practice of learning from foreign banks. As a result, Li Shi became the justifiable "Li Beijiang", of course, at the cost of sending a "guarantee money" to the governor's yamen every year.

In the face of the governor's yamen, Li Shi's ship line became a shipyard, although he knew that he did not build ships, but according to the old practice of the shipyard, the ship company paid the annual money to the river and the department under the governor's yamen, so it was justified. Of course, Li Xian said that he wanted to build a ship in the future, and it was justified.

In the face of the Guangzhou government, it is simple, and the tax department of the government directly set up a shipping tax office at the newly built wharf, which is regarded as a bazaar, and only manages the business transactions between the shipping company and the cargo merchants, and does not care about the affairs of the shipping company itself. For this reason, an official tooth was set up, of course, this official tooth was also taken over by Xiao Xie's Qingtian Company firm, which was just an empty shell.

The following Nanhai County also intervened, ran over and set up a patrol shop, the picture is to collect fire and anti-theft city shop money, the preparation is there, but Xiao Xie to "vacancy salary" suggestion, so that Nanhai County is exempted from people, and the ship is responsible for itself, and the money can be given regularly.

After straightening out the upper and lower levels, calculating the annual filial piety is estimated to be thirty or forty thousand taels of silver, Peng Xianzhong is still very worried, afraid that the shipping company will be unable to fill such a big hole by making money from coolies, and under the new account system, these filial piety money still do not know how to go through the accounts, Li Xian comforted him and said that it must be a loss in the early stage, and it is difficult to say in the future. As for the accounting, Li Xi mentioned a strange term in the letter: "advertising expenses".

"In the future, for other affairs, this kind of expenses will go to this name, remember to have a good invoice...... Oh, the license. ”

That's how Li Xi explained.

The boat traveled to Guangzhou, and seeing the pair of Fan Jin and Guan Xiaoyu whispering at the bow of the boat, Li Xian thought to himself that he really had the potential to be an old man. Speaking of which, this pair has quite a story, Miss Guan met poor Xiucai, and the two fell in love at first sight. It's a pity that God intervened sideways, Fan Jin's family was implicated in a lawsuit, and he had to flee to Yingde, so he bumped into Li Shi's palm.

It is said that there is a relationship with Xiaoyu, and some small disasters should be resolved. Listening to Fan Jin's tone, things seem to be quite complicated. Besides, he is a Han Chinese, Guan Xiaoyu is a banner person, it is impossible for the two to form a good relationship, Fan Jin didn't want to involve the beauty, so he hid Guan Xiaoyu and left.

But I don't want An Jia and Guan Yuanzhong to be in-laws, Guan Xiaoyu and An Jiuxiu are still sisters-in-law, this time Guan Xiaoyu escorted An Jiuxiu to Li Shi's house, and the two met again.

Fan Xiucai originally wanted to continue to avoid it, Li Xian had an ulterior motive motive and persuaded him that he should face it head-on, what happened to the flag man, now that the disaster is over, when you are promoted and become an official, it is not too taboo to fight for this marriage. The Manchu and Han do not intermarry, that is said to the grass people, and the leading characters are not so particular.

Fan Jin was finally persuaded by him and opened his heart to welcome the beauty, but seeing that the two of them had been grinding for more than a month, they only stayed at the stage of looking at each other and being affectionate, which made Li Xian hate this pair of idiot geese with no guts, and at this time he didn't think that he didn't even get to Yan Sanniang's second base...... "Why didn't you throw me an official lady...... If you want to replace Fan Jin with me, it will be time to cook raw rice and mature rice. ”

Li Xian muttered darkly, the daughter of the general of Guangzhou, a very good chess piece. But now that he can rely on Fan Jin's relationship to take care of him, it can be regarded as a help. As for what is taking advantage of the guilt of an ignorant woman, since it is a flag man, hum...... At this time, Li Xi didn't have any thoughts of pity for the little jade, and then Fan Jin asked Li Xi why he didn't snatch it, and Li Xi said generously: "Friend's wife, don't play, of course, if you are gone, your wife, I will raise her." ”

In all fairness, although Guan Xiaoyu's appearance is not bad, her surname is far from Li Shi's standard, and even An Jiuxiu is not as good as it. But this banner woman is quite reasonable, and that bit of flying and domineering does not go beyond the range of viviparity. She is quite dedicated to Fan Jin, and it is said that she has not given up looking for more than a year, so Li Xi does not have too many knots about matching the two of them.

"It seems that the rice has to be cooked slowly, so I don't know if it will be cooked into raw rice in this exam."

Then Li Shi's mind shifted to the exam, and after staying in Guangzhou for a while, he had to rush to Shaozhou as soon as possible. At present, Guangdong's academic politician is Shi Yizhi, this is a big man, and I vaguely remember what this guy's nickname is...... In the corner of Huiai Street in Guangzhou Prefecture, a government office hung a signboard of "Admiral Guangdong Xuezheng", and a person carried a package and went out with a stupid face, and a group of people immediately surrounded the door.

"How? Still won't take it? ”

"Shut up the fart! It's okay if you don't catch me and hit the board! ”

"I'll just say it, this Xuezheng is famous for his iron hardness in the earlier scientific examination, and he is simply a fairy who doesn't stick to oil!"

"People have a great future, but they look down on our money."

"Despise? Although the master of Xuezheng is not as good as other masters, he is also the master who starts with tens of thousands of taels after walking around, who can not open his eyes? I see he's a pretend! ”

These people who looked like shopkeepers were talking loudly, and then a few soldiers went out and hung up a plaque again, and when they looked at the words on the plaque, everyone laughed again.

"Sure enough, it's pretending to be ......"

One person pointed to the plaque and rubbed his belly, laughing breathlessly, and there were four words on the plaque: "Iron face and selflessness".

"Shi has a clear conscience! It's just that I was annoyed that the mosquitoes and flies kept disturbing, so I had to hang the plaque. ”

In the office, a man with a gloomy face said in a deep voice, seeing that he was only in his early thirties, but he was like a member of the ministry from the capital, and there was a momentum between his eyebrows that was not angry but powerful.

"The hospital exam is approaching, not to mention the autumn of August, in front of my yamen, there is no room for dirt! What is my history? Iron Cliff! The iron-faced stone heart is a cliff of its own! The law of the court, the emperor Longen, I will provoke it with this iron-faced stone heart! ”

It seems to be admonishing his subordinates, and it seems to be telling the heart of the heavens in his heart, Shi Yizhi's words are loud and clear.

"But my lord, this is all an old routine, you don't want it, not to mention the provincial school officials, even the students who are about to refer to it, they will also be panicked and don't know what to trust."

The subordinate twisted his eyebrows, still trying his best to persuade.

"Didn't I abolish the bad rules when I toured the province last year? Why are you still talking about this? Give two hundred taels of silver for a game, when I am a play? ”

Shi Yi snorted coldly, he was the youngest in the thirty-ninth year of Kangxi's Gengchen Kejinshi, and he was only eighteen years old when he won the list! attracted the attention of the whole dynasty, and praised the past immeasurable. But after more than ten years of immersion in the Hanlin Pavilion, I never got anything missing. Nian Qianyao, who was on the same list as him, fell in love with the fourth elder brother, and at this time he was already the governor of Sichuan, but he only walked through Yunnan to learn politics. Now that he has released Guangdong Xuezheng, the fire of his work is blazing in his heart, and he doesn't want to get a little dust.

The subordinates wiped the sweat on their foreheads, but they didn't dare to respond to this topic, and said in their hearts that a game is two hundred taels, and you go to a province is tens of thousands of taels, which drama is so expensive?

"But the shopkeepers of those book stores are kind-hearted. Adults, the previous academic and political will engrave books, and the students are also seeking the ink treasure and fragrance of the academic and political adults, this is ...... The story of the Academy, hehe......"

The subordinate continued, and said in his heart that if you don't accept it, it will be difficult for the people below us to do it.

"It's still a bad rule! I just took some of my anthologies and went to engrave them, and one sold for two or three taels of silver! Isn't this an accumulation!? ”

Shi Yizhi still has a cold face.

"My lord, even if you don't carve it, there will already be a small one carving, and the students will still have these books in their hands, and you ...... adults."

When his subordinates said this, Shi Yizhi's face turned even more blue and white, and he could understand the meaning of these words. If he doesn't come out of the "genuine version", "piracy" will run rampant, and when the time comes, he will not be able to keep his reputation as a Shi Tieface, and the silver will not be able to enter his pocket.

"Really...... It's disgusting! Silver money erodes the heart, and the sages do not deceive me! ”

After thinking about it for a while, there was no way to do both, and Shi Yizhi gritted his teeth and slapped the table with hatred.
