Section 322 System
At the beginning of September, the wharf of Jinfen Port was in full swing. Huge ships are docked at the water's edge, and cranes carry containers of various colors passing above. There is a lot of traffic everywhere, and there are many people. On the deck, on the approach bridge, and on the shore, dock workers are everywhere, either driving forklifts, carrying boxes, or installing temporary freight elevators, busy with them.
The Port is the largest port in the United Kingdom, with 22 terminals and an annual throughput of tens of billions of tonnes. Most of the Red Kingdom's exports were transported by sea, and imports were transported by sea.
The Ambergris River is wide, 100 meters deep, and can carry 10,000-ton steamers, so river transportation is the largest transportation system in the Red Country, followed by rail transportation, and then road transportation.
Jinfen Port is directly under the management of Ice Blue City and is one of the fiefdoms of the Malan royal family.
At the port of each ship stood an officer in a dark blue uniform, wearing white gloves and black sunglasses, and wearing a navy cap. They have flashlight-like detectors under their armpits to check the goods coming and going.
Their cockade is a blooming maran flower surrounded by several chains. These are the two symbols of the Malan family – the purple flowers that bloom in the desert and the chains that perch on the cliffs of the bottomless abyss.
Although they wore big sunglasses, their arrogant demeanor was unobstructed, their heads were tilted at a fifteen-degree angle to the sky, their eyes were above the top, and their eyes were empty.
But it's no wonder they're so arrogant, the Golden Dust Port is directly under the Ice Blue City, they are officials under the kingdom, and their social status is higher than that of "principality officials" and "local officials", and they are at the top of the three major bureaucratic systems of the Red Kingdom.
The royal family, the royal family, the gate lord family, the kingdom bureaucracy, the principality bureaucracy, and the local bureaucracy, commonly known as the "three-three system", are the "three major aristocratic systems" and the "three major bureaucratic systems", and these six systems constitute this huge semi-capital and semi-feudal state.
"Woo......"
With the sound of a long whistle, a huge ship slowly approached the harbor. There was no cargo on board, and the deck was full of disheveled, laughing and noisy people, with no obvious order, none of whom looked like good people.
When the port call, the customs command post did not receive the electronic certificate from the vessel, and it was likely that it was an illegal vessel, or even a pirate ship.
"Xiao Liao, you take a few people over to have a look, right away!"
A middle-aged officer instructed a young officer to go to the ship for questioning.
"Hey, over there, send a representative down to speak."
The officer, known as "Xiao Liao," with three guards, quickly came to the bottom of the ship and shouted above with a megaphone.
After a while, the approach bridge was lowered from the boat, and a young man with a not very clean beard walked down.
"Hello, I'm Chen Erliu, the representative of this ship."
This man was Chen Xing, who had been adrift at sea for more than two months and had returned from the Black Death Continent. Chen Erliu is a pseudonym he came up with, which is composed of the word "Xing".
Since he was the richest man and his dealings with people were also recognized by everyone, he was chosen as his representative.
Chen Xing stretched out his hand to the officials with a warm smile on his face. The official glanced at it, did not stretch out his hand, frowned, and asked sharply, "Who are you, what are you doing here, what are the documents!" ”
"When there was a heavy rain at sea, several ships sank, and the crew got together to ......," Chen Xing explained with a smile.
"I told you to take your ID out, don't you understand!" The official shouted impatiently, not bothering to listen to Chen Xing's explanation.
"Our captain was killed, the satellite equipment was also damaged in the storm, and the documents have always been in the captain's possession, we don't know ......where he put them," Chen Xing suppressed his anger and continued to explain to the other party. In his previous life, he had come into contact with this group of kingdom officials, one of them was more introverted than the other, and with a little power, he regarded himself as a big man, and he was shouting at everyone.
"If you don't have a document, it's an illegal ship, and it's not allowed to dock!" The official said in a loud voice. The full name of this official, who was called "Little Liao" by his superiors, is "Liao Jingbo", Chinese New Year's Eve, born in Surabaya City in the Principality of River Sparrow, and entered the bureaucratic system of Ice Blue City by relying on a classmate who worked in the Ice Blue City Housing Authority, and is a grassroots official of the Gold Powder Port Customs.
"Big brother, can you take a step to speak." Chen Xing said in a low voice.
Liao Jingbo glanced left and right, turned around and walked to the office building behind him. Chen Xing followed behind, following in unison. No way, it's so hard to ask someone to do something.
A moment later, Chen Xing followed Liao Jingbo to his office on the fifteenth floor.
"Sir, it's a small meaning, but it's not a respect......"
After closing the door, Chen Xing took out a large bag of bulging gold coins and put them on his desk. Liao Jingbo clasped his hands on his chest and looked at Chen Xing a few times, his eyes were always arrogant and cold, as if he was looking at a native dog from the countryside.
I saw him lean forward, tear the rope from the money bag with one hand, and look inside. The gold coins made a soft rattling sound, and they contained three thousand coins, which were the income of a kingdom official for more than five years. You must know that the captain of a team in a marginal town, born and dies every day, is only twenty-six gold coins a month, and even the bonus is not more than four hundred in a year.
"What do you mean?" Liao Jingbo's face turned cold and asked.
"You also know that we don't ......have all the formalities," Chen Xing said with a smile.
"What a formality!" Liao Jingbo stood up, he didn't know where the anger came from, his face was pale, and he pointed at Chen Xing's nose and scolded, "You are bribing the officials of the kingdom!" Then he looked at the door, "Someone, get him!" ”
The other party suddenly turned his face, Chen Xing was unexpected, and was angered by the attitude of the other party all the way over. He drew a gun on the spot and pointed at Liao Jingbo.
"Don't get angry when I'm a sick cat, be careful that I shoot you to death!" Chen Xing said viciously.
As soon as he came into contact, he knew that this official was not a good thing, and he would suppress people as soon as he came up, with the purpose of giving him a bad horse, so that he could obediently send money. On the surface, he pretended to be upright, but in fact, he had too much appetite, and he thought that the three thousand gold coins were not enough.
If the other party has enough power and can get things done, it's no problem to give more, but this is just a grassroots petty official, and power is like fur. According to the experience of his previous life, this number was sufficient, and it was completely in line with the unspoken rules of the kingdom bureaucracy. There will be a large number of people who will spend money later, and this is just the beginning. Only by finding someone with real power can you spend a lot of money, but before that, one person has a big bite, and when the money is really needed, it is gone.
This is just a grassroots petty official, and he is not afraid of the other party at all. This is a world of money and power, what he has is money, and it is still okay to buy the other party's dog life when necessary.
Three guards rushed in and pointed their guns at Chen Xing.
Liao Jingbo was pointed at a gun, looking a little scared, his feet trembled slightly, but the expression on his face was still stern: "Do you know what you are doing, do you know what place this is, you are against the kingdom!" ”
"Lay down your arms!" "Assaulting an official of the Principality is a felony, don't flout the law!" The guards warned.
Chen Xing held the gun steadily, pointed at Liao Jingbo, and the two sides fell into a stalemate. Liao Jingbo seemed to have weak feet, one hand propped up on the desk, and his face still maintained a calm expression. But Chen Xing knew that Liao Jingbo was already so frightened that his courage was about to break.
This kind of villain, shaped like a hamster, is bullish and coaxing, a typical deception of good and fear of evil. When you meet a real wicked person, you will be cowardly immediately.
"Horn!"
Chen Xing's mouth suddenly moved, pretending to be a gunshot, Liao Jingbo immediately let out a "wow", hugged his head and got under the desk, trembling.
Looking at the embarrassed Liao Jingbo, Chen Xing turned his head and grinned at the guards and put away his pistol. The guards immediately pounced on him and restrained him.
Moments later, Chen Xing was placed in a makeshift detention center underneath the office building.
