The Japanese National Assembly Pavilion, where Sakata Ikeko is located, is the object of Li Yuanqing's attention.

When someone came out of the Japanese National Assembly in the middle of the night and left in different directions in the city, the people from Li Yuanqing's faction also followed.

Make a note of where these people have gone!

This is the target person to dig deeper, and it cannot be neglected.

Gu Shao learned that Li Yuanqing had already made a move at the port, and he hung his heart and stayed awake all night.

I have been deducing in my mind the various outcomes of how things are developing.

After careful calculation, Gu Shao felt that there was a high possibility of success.

Although Li Yuanqing assured him that although the time was rushed, the success rate could reach seventy percent.

Therefore, Gu Shao agreed.

Early in the morning, Chuan Benlang pulled Gu Jin out of Jinling Academy, and he was in a hurry.

Gu Jin didn't relent, "I still have to go to morning class, what are you pulling me out for?" ”

"Even if you go out, you have to ask your master for leave! If you leave without asking for leave, you don't hurt if you think of the master's ruler and beating people, right? ”

Chuan Benlang pulled Gu Jin into the carriage and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Brother Gu, help, now 100,000 is urgent, continue to go back to the Governor's Mansion to find out the news."

Gu Jin was stunned for a moment, his face puzzled, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Kawamoto replied: "Hundreds of our merchant ships are blocked in the port and can't get out, and you are in there for your goods." ”

When Gu Jin heard this, he immediately became anxious.

But his heart was happy, Commander Li made a move, and he could also remove the stains on his body as soon as possible.

"Brother Chuan, haven't you always said that you are reliable? Was the ship broken, or something else? ”

Seeing that Gu Jin was also very nervous, Chuan Ben Lang was a little relieved.

Only when he was nervous and distressed about those goods, Gu Jin could do his best.

"It's Commander Li, he's training troops, or is it a drill to inspect goods and inspect smuggling."

"Even if you take the customs clearance documents issued by the government, you will not give them. Five ships were searched yesterday. It will continue today, especially for the time. ”

Hearing this, Gu Jin was stunned for a moment, and he was so anxious, "I've said it all, let you be careful recently, even if there are documents issued by the government, they may not be useful." ”

"Now Commander Li has a holiday with my Gu family. Now it's holding chicken feathers as an arrow, and it makes sense. ”

"If you don't check it, you will be suspected of smuggling. Brother Chuan, I know that those sea ships have concealed their information. Otherwise, you wouldn't need me. ”

"Tell me the truth, how many of the more than 400 ships were concealed? If I don't tell the truth, when I find out everything, I'll have to be unlucky. ”

Of course, it was impossible for Chuan Jinlang to tell the truth to Gu Jin, and his face was embarrassed, "It's about less than two percent." ”

Gu Jin was stunned for a moment, "Twenty percent? Are you sure? ”

He slandered in his heart, definitely more than two percent, estimated to be more than half.

If it is found by Commander Li, it will be confiscated.

This time, you will get millions of taels of silver.

However, Gu Jin still underestimated the greed of Chuan Benlang and others, and the smuggled items were not only as high as eighty percent, but also carried contraband and all kinds of sharp weapons.

There were also experienced blacksmiths and craftsmen, some of whom volunteered to go to the Wa Kingdom, and some were taken captive for the sake of high wages.

Seeing that Gu Jin's gaze was a little scary, Chuan Benlang smiled wryly.

"More than twenty percent, about forty percent."

When Gu Jin heard this, he still didn't believe it.

However, he didn't bother to ask now, anyway, those things couldn't run, and it was estimated that they could all fall into the hands of Da Zhou.

"You people are too greedy. Isn't it enough to pay taxes every time? ”

"Although there is more silver, security is not. There are so many benefits of maritime trade, but you are reluctant to do so. ”

Kawamoto's face was embarrassed, they also want to trade normally!

However, most of the money earned from normal trade was taken by the general above.

On the orders of the generals, they bought sharp weapons and recruited craftsmen, and the silver they needed could only be replenished from the silver they earned from smuggling!

"Don't talk about this, let's hurry to the Governor's Mansion and see what to do?"

Gu Jin scratched his head, his face worried.

"Hey, I guess I'm going to be beaten by my third uncle again."

Kawamoto was stunned, "Why did you hit you?" Don't you tell your third uncle, don't you just have the goods on it? ”

Gu Jin looked at Chuan Benlang sadly, this person was in a hurry, and he also became stupid.

"I usually only read the books of sages, but now I suddenly care about the affairs of those merchant ships, can my third uncle not doubt it?"

"The mouth can lie, but my third uncle can judge it based on my actions. He's such a smart man, what can I do? ”

When Kawamoto heard this, he was stunned.

"Brother Gu, then work hard for you, after the ship goes out smoothly, I will earn more money, and I will share more with you."

Gu Jin thought about it, waved his hand and shook his head, and sighed.

"Money, isn't the more the better, when I return the 100,000 taels of silver to you, I won't do it."

"After all, this is an illegal thing, although it is just smuggling tea and porcelain and the like, but after finding out, my future will be ruined."

Chuan Jinlang looked at Gu Jin with a smile, which was meaningful.

"Brother Gu, you and my brother, how could I forget you when I got rich? This kind of business is done for a long time. ”

"Don't worry, no matter what happens to the goods, we won't give you out."

Gu Jin was stunned for a moment, and asked tentatively: "The benefits, it's not so easy to get." So I'm going to be tied to you for the rest of my life? ”

Kawamoto smiled, "As we said before, there are blessings and hardships. ”

Gu Jin looked at Chuan Benlang steadily, and after a while, he sighed.

"You're approaching me to win me over, right? Even if you become an official in the future, you can't escape your control. ”

Chuan Benlang patted Gu Jin on the shoulder, smiling harmlessly, hoping that Gu Jin would be able to recognize current affairs as a handsome man.

"Brother Gu, you also said that your third uncle has always looked down on you and suppressed you. Your parents are dead, and your family has very little money, so you won't be able to move an inch in the future. ”

"In the past, you couldn't even make decisions about marriage, and you couldn't go out for a big meal. But now that you've made a fortune with me, it's different. ”

"In the future, I will take you to make money, and you will be an official, as for taking proper care of our business, so that the business will be smoother."

"We are a win-win cooperation and mutual benefit. Such a good thing, be happy. We're here to help you get ahead. ”

Gu Jin seemed to have figured it out, and then smiled.

"Brother Chuan said the same, it's hard to move an inch without money. The difficulties I encountered were all solved by Brother Chuan, and Gu was grateful. ”

Seeing that Gu Jin did not resist, Chuan Jinlang smiled and patted Gu Jin on the shoulder.

"It's the same thing, you and I work together, and there are many benefits. Don't be psychologically burdened, we're doing our best to get those cargo ships out at this stage. ”

Gu Jin nodded, his expression serious, "Don't worry, I will do my best." ”

The carriage entered Jinling City and arrived at the gate of the Governor's Palace.

As soon as he entered the door, Gu Jin saw the third uncle Gu Shao going out.

"Third uncle, where are you going?"
