Chapter 104: Silly Girl
Cheng Ziyu smiled innocently, as if she had no intention at all.
She had her plans, the boat, naturally, she was going to get on it, but before that, she still had a lot of preparations to do.
And her curious sentence at the moment successfully made the senior executive slap back, the tax official stepped back, Gao Xi's face twitched, and Lord Yan also coughed.
The other merchants on the left and right sides of the dock who were also busy loading and unloading were also attracted to the attention and looked over.
"Naturally, yes!"
Lord Yan sighed in his heart, this stupid girl!
In the end, there is not enough interpersonal experience!
Under this big sun, he originally planned to simplify the complexity and sell his favor to the Cheng family, and arrange for her and his party to hurry on the boat to rest.
But she pointed it out in public so insightlessly, and their yamen and his party had no choice but to act impartially! This Gao family ship has just sailed out, and it must have been inspected by Yangzhou Wharf, and it is only a temporary dock at this time, so there is no need to inspect it again...... Is this an extra move......
And Cheng Ziyu just wants to see how the inspections are carried out along the way, and whether it is possible to find out anything.
I saw that Lord Nayan waved his hand, and seven or eight subordinates in uniform yamen costumes got on the boat.
Under the guidance of the executive, it took less than half an hour for the gang to complete the so-called inspection.
Naturally, nothing was found wrong.
Gao Xi laughed again, and Lord Na Yan also made a gesture, signaling to invite Cheng Ziyu to get on the boat.
But this time, it was Cheng Ziyu who took the lead, and she was ordering the minions to open the box behind her.
"Lord Yan, this box is the goods I brought on this trip, please check it and enter it into the book! There are also leftover boxes, please check them out as well! ”
It stands to reason that Cheng Ziyu brought the goods this time and should be taxed. It is also necessary to register.
Can......
That Lord Yan twitched his face again, this Miss Cheng is really a fool!
Since so much silver has been put up and down the yamen, isn't it just for convenience to avoid personal taxes? With such a box of goods, she can completely entrap it in her personal belongings to avoid taxes!
Besides, they've already let it go, and it's ...... What a nerd!
He has been at the dock for more than ten years, and he has never seen a few people who took the initiative to ask for inspection, and this initiative to ask for tax payment is even more unheard of, and it is unprecedented!
"Uh...... Good, good! ”
Now that this has come to this, everyone in the yamen naturally proceeds according to the rules.
Cheng Ziyu's boxes were opened one by one to check for contraband.
The civil servant, who was about to issue a tax bill with the order paperwork, stepped forward, but his hand shook.
Just because he opened the wrong box in the painting, he exposed the pile of gold and silver to everyone.
Everyone gasped and exhaled, which attracted a lot of onlookers.
When that piece of precious pottery was also exposed in the eyes of everyone, Cheng Ziyu's wealth and generosity almost made everyone present stunned and amazed.
And during the inspection, even Lord Na Yan couldn't bear it, and secretly pulled Cheng Ziyu over.
"Siniang's boxes, in fact, don't have to open them all! Wealth should not be exposed, it is easy to cause trouble! When you go out of a girl's house, everything is still safe. Next, if there is a temporary inspection at the port, Siniang would rather give out some silver, hang out the names of your Cheng family and the Lin family, and try not to open the box again, no one will be worried! ”
"Thank you, Lord Yan, for reminding me!" These are all truthful words. Cheng Ziyu politely saluted him.
"Also, you little woman, try to keep a low profile. If there is anything you don't understand, don't show it, so as not to make people take advantage of the loopholes. Be careful in everything, don't leave your own people along the way, you know? ”
Lord Yan told this completely out of kindness, but this stupid girl actually took out a silver ingot and stuffed it into him. Lord Yan couldn't help but sigh, I hope that this girl with beauty, silver, fame and family is auspicious, stupid and stupid, but don't be calculated......
When there were only the last three big boxes left, the maid twisted and pulled Cheng Ziyu and shook her head again.
When the official saw the maid's face flushing, he already understood.
"I'm afraid these boxes are just the girl's private belongings, right? It's very fragrant! The officials laughed.
The onlookers also sniffed deeply, and a sweet smell that the girl's family loved to use really emanated from the box.
The adults who entered the painting and bowed to inspect it, "These are our girl's clothes and personal belongings, there are many of them, and they are a little embarrassed......"
She hesitated to open a box, and at a glance, it was indeed a complete set of girls' clothes.
The dock officials got the tea money, how could they embarrass Cheng Ziyu, so they hurriedly stepped forward and closed the lid of the box, signaling that they could be released.
The onlookers naturally had no intention of being embarrassed by this, and when they saw Cheng Ziyu preparing to get on the boat, they scattered and left.
However, several potters came around, some sent some fruits, some gave some gadgets to play with, and one said that he was afraid that Ziyu would be bored on the boat, so he sent a beautiful tiger cat......
Cheng Ziyu is finally on board!
No one saw it, and she and her people quietly breathed a sigh of relief......
Gao Xi personally introduced two boats to Cheng Ziyu.
As Cheng Ziyu guessed at the beginning, the Cheng family's five hundred and eighty big high tanks were indeed all placed on the big boat in front.
Seventy percent of Gao's salt has also been loaded into the high cylinder in batches according to the requirements of the so-called merchants.
The small ship behind them mainly carried the remaining salt and some of the rest of the private belongings of their Gao family.
Cheng Ziyu followed the big boat and found that the high tank filled with salt was divided into two parts. Most of it is in the first floor of the warehouse, and some of it is on the deck, covered with tarpaulin and wooden planks to waterproof.
Walking to the front of the stacked high cylinders on the pressure plate, she couldn't help but snort, and the big word "Cheng" was marked on the cylinder, as if she was afraid that people would not know that this high cylinder came from the Cheng family.
And Gao Xi was polite, saying that Cheng Ziyu would stay on the second floor of the tail of the big ship. In order to avoid suspicion, he himself and a group of Gao family members will move on the boat behind.
Cheng Ziyu carefully looked at the boat behind her, although it was a little smaller, it was not shabby.
A good argument to avoid suspicion is enough to dispel the doubt: "Obviously, all the goods can be loaded on one ship, but two ships are used".
"Miss Cheng, please!" Gao Xi led Cheng Ziyu to the stern of the big ship. After passing through the warehouse on the first floor, there is a wooden staircase, and when you go up about a zhang high, you will be on the second floor.
"Now that Miss Cheng is on the Gao family's ship, she can treat this place as her own home, and she must not be restrained. If you want to eat, drink, or drink, just say hello.
You can also use this second floor with confidence, and there are picture windows on the front and back, left and right. In front of you, you can see the big boat breaking the waves and going straight, you can enjoy the lake and mountains on the left and right, and you can see the boat where Gao is in the back.
From the second floor, you can go straight up to the third floor, where there is a large viewing platform, you can not only enjoy the scenery, but also blow the wind and drink tea, this summer is the most comfortable!
Also, this second floor is only open to Miss Cheng and her party, and no one else lives, so even if it is a boatman, if you don't have permission, you can't come up! ……”
"What about you?" Cheng Ziyu interrupted directly. "Would you suddenly come up to the second floor without my knowledge?"
……
