Chapter 189: Meeting

"But ......," Su Qian stopped talking.

"Young people are looking a little bigger." Ouyang whispered: "As far as I know, the emperor's temperament has to be favored by Shu, and sooner or later he will have to make a move against the Liao people and then against Jin." Take advantage of being degraded now, write a good plan, how to make money from it in the future. ”

Su Qian and Master Su were shocked: "The imperial court wants to use troops against Liao?" ”

"Use troops against Western Xia, win! Against the Crusaders, win! Win against *** soldiers! If the emperor was still cautious and had no self-confidence in the past. Now it's all about getting in high spirits. Ouyang glanced left and right and whispered: "What the emperor wants to learn is not Tang Taizong, nor Emperor Wu of Han, but Emperor Wen of Sui." Now the first step has been reached, that is, the Silk Road, during the Sui Dynasty, many European merchants settled in Daxing City, and many Ouyang envoys came to Daxing to worship. Emperor Wen of Sui's purpose was to submit to the four seas, although it was not to destroy the country, but to submit to the Liao people was equivalent to destroying the country. And Liao does not surrender, how can he say martial arts. The emperor has never accepted Mount Tai's confession, just wants to wait until he surrenders to the behemoth of Liao. Therefore, the battle of Song and Liao is inevitable. ”

Su Qian was awakened by these words, and suddenly came to his senses: "I was really wrong, I thought that I could know the movements by making friends with a few ministers, but I didn't expect that the current emperor is the emperor with the highest prestige in Song besides Taizu, how can he let the courtiers be swayed." Rest assured, Su Qian knows how to do it. ”

"I believe in you." A Persian beauty swayed over, sat on Ouyang, lifted her veil, picked up the tea, took a sip, and fed Ouyang mouth-to-mouth. Ouyang smiled, the Persian beauty threw a flattering eye, turned around gracefully, and went on stage again.

The half-living Spring Palace cheered from all sides, and Su Qian was dumbfounded: "The adult's experience has reached its peak. Seeing that Ouyang not only did not have any discomfort, but hugged his waist and cooperated, kissing each other for a long time, he was obviously very old.

Ouyang hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, it's the first time I have physical contact with her. "I've seen a lot of this kind of scene. During Ouyang's undercover period, it was not like the movie, he couldn't do this, he couldn't touch it, and he lived a life of cultivation. In some private clubs abroad, for the distinguished guests designated for reception, the dancers even took out male tools and sat down directly. To paraphrase a sentence from a certain movie: whatever is upscale, it is obscene.

However, as an official of the Great Song Dynasty, a model of businessmen, and an idol of the people, this kind of Persian incident still cannot happen. However, this fire has been stirred up, and it is really difficult to quell. That night, Ouyang went to open a room with the beauty. Although she refused to Wan Guan, this beauty obviously gave Ouyang a lot of face, served her thoughtfully, and did not charge a penny, on the contrary, she also gave Ouyang a Persian silver coin that she treasured.

Ouyang was restrained, and although he also had a relationship with another beautiful woman the next day, he set off for Hangzhou on the third day. For men, sex is not a faucet, but a tank. The amount of resources is probably fixed. Not abstinence, not indulgence, is the foundation of men's health. When I was young, I didn't understand it, but when I got older, I naturally understood its benefits.

It was the invitation of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty to go to Hangzhou, from the Qinghe waterway, through the Huai River, and then the Grand Canal. In summer, the scenery on both sides of the strait is beautiful, the breeze blows, the poems are recited, the words are high, and life is happy.

When he arrived in Hangzhou, Song Huizong wanted to take a few students to the wilderness, and Ouyang and two guards entered Hangzhou City. When he arrived in Hangzhou, he saw that Zhou An's original residence had been built into a hotel, and Ouyang casually found an overseas business name and said: "Find Zhou An, I'm Ouyang." ”

Within half an hour, Zhou An arrived. Seeing Ouyang, Zhou Anda was very happy. After the two sides were polite, Ouyang knew that the shopkeeper Zhou did not live in the city now, but lived on the beach in the suburbs. The big mansion with eight in and eight out is equivalent to eight courtyards. It covers a vast area, and there are two cruise ships suitable for offshore sailing by the sea, and life is quite luxurious.

A pair of big lions at the door, eight men and eight women greeted them at the door: "Master, Lord Ou." ”

Ouyang smiled: "Shopkeeper Zhou, this pomp is a bit like a nouveau riche. ”

Zhou An hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding." But I really compared it with an upstart before. I think I've been a businessman for four generations, so I can't let the nouveau riche look flat. It's funny to think about it later. ”

"Funny? For example, this North-South dispute? ”

"Almost." Zhou An was ashamed and said, "My lord, please." He didn't believe that Ouyang was bored to accompany Song Huizong to the river, if it was to swim in the river, Ouyang would definitely not look for himself. As the saying goes, there is nothing to do without going to the Three Treasures Palace. However, he believed that Ouyang would definitely not be a bad thing.

A few days ago, a meeting was held to implement the imperial court's regulations on the inflow of silver, could it be this? I didn't think about Ouyang's first sentence: "What about Zhou Ping?" ”

Zhou An was stunned, and then said angrily: "This unfilial girl, the old man didn't listen to the adults before, and promoted her to the shopkeeper of the bank, but he didn't think about it. The old man often told her that the word Li should be a businessman, and the word should be a businessman. I didn't expect her to do this privately for the sake of a breath. ”

"Shopkeeper Zhou, don't worry too much. It's a child, after all. Besides, the Yangping Chamber of Commerce is also a bit aggressive. Although this time it was a lose-lose situation, after all, there was still some gain. I think Zhou Ping also deliberately created such a lose-lose situation because the Yangping Chamber of Commerce wanted to meddle in the sea business. ”

"Hello sir." Zhou Ping came out with tea and said respectfully.

Ouyang nodded and said, "Sit!" ”

"Mr. Xie."

Ouyang Dao: "I came this time to say." The idea is good, and it is feasible to build a terminal in Temasek. Now I have talked to Yangping businessmen, and in the future, they will at most invest in the shipping industry. So I thought Temasek could consider building a terminal. ”

Zhou Pingxi said: "Mr. means ......"

"Garrison Temasek and turn Temasek into a military and commercial port. The Southeast Chamber of Commerce can set up a shipping company to specifically manage sea transportation. It's a good place, and if you can find a way to take this territory, there's a lot to be done. ”

Zhou An asked cautiously: "What do you mean, my lord, that the little girl is responsible for this matter?" ”

"Now that the road and the sea are clear, the Yangping Chamber of Commerce will not be interested in maritime affairs for the time being. Managing maritime affairs around the screen can also avoid embarrassment for both parties. In addition, when the shipping company says that it is unpleasant, it is to use all kinds of means to loot. Zhou Ping's temperament is more suitable, radical and unscrupulous, and he is really the best choice. ”

Zhou Ping blushed and said, "Mr. is saying that students are bad people. ”

"Recently, I realized the truth that if you lose, you are a bad person, because you use intrigue and trickery. If you win, you are a good person, because you use wisdom. ”

"Mr. Xie instructs."

"Yes!" Ouyang nodded and looked at Zhou An: "Shopkeeper Zhou, this time I came to return one thing." I heard that the relationship between Ou Ping and Zhou Ping is developing well, and I also want to see what Zhou Ping means. ”

"This ......" Zhou Ping hesitated and said: "Sir, this marriage was originally a matchmaker from my parents." However, as Mr. said, shipping has only just begun, and if we get married now, I am afraid ...... If you can postpone it for a few years, wait for everything to be decided. Naturally, the students have no objections. ”

"Well, I can't say too much about my children's personal affairs." Ouyang said: "Zhou Ping, I still have to do more public relations for Yue Fei." It's not that this man is the commander of the fleet. It's that this person is a hot-blooded man, and he is still yearning for overseas expansion forces, so he can fund some military money in private. ”

Zhou Ping nodded: "Students understand." The student has caused so much trouble to my husband, and I feel ashamed. ”

"When this door is open to do business, there are always difficult customers. But no matter how difficult it is, it is also a guest. Ouyang smiled: "No matter how naughty you are, you are also my student, and you have good potential." It's just that the overall vision is a little worse. ”

"Yes, that's what Daddy taught me."

After finishing speaking, Ouyang said goodbye, saying that he was going to take a look around. Although Zhou An stayed, he hoped that Ouyang would stay for a few days. But Ouyang didn't like to disturb others, and just wanted to go around these shipyards by himself. Zhou An was no longer polite, and sent two of his bodyguards to follow Ouyang, one was for safety, and the other was that the two of them in Hangzhou were familiar, and it was more convenient for Ouyang to do whatever he wanted.

Hangzhou seaport is divided into a military port and a civilian port. The distance between the two is not that far. This port is also exquisite, the draft is inevitable, and there is also a requirement to be able to shelter from the wind. The Hangzhou merchant wharf is set up in Xiaoshan, one left and one right. Compared with the commercial port, the military port wharf has a pitiful number of ships. However, there is a military camp of 2,000 men stationed here, and there is a logistical supply consisting of 3,000 troops.

Ouyang originally came to see the scenery, but he didn't think about it, but he saw that the name came out. What is the hall of fame? The military port is smuggling. The Commercial Port Department has a special operations department in charge, and if you want to buy them, there will be more money involved. But military ports are different, when the ship is unloaded, as long as the steward approves, the materials on board can be transported from the port to the land. The soldier doesn't ask what's on the ship. Not to mention paying taxes.

The military has always been a big problem, both ancient and modern. There is still a certain risk in smuggling through civilian channels, but when smuggling through the military, outsiders do not know the operating procedures inside. Ouyang asked, "Do you shopkeepers Zhou know about this?" ”

"This thing? What's up? The bodyguard wondered for a while, then came to his senses and said, "The merchant ship that the lord said?" Although it is a merchant ship, it belongs to the commander of the Hangzhou fleet, and is generally used as a logistical supply. Now the Chamber of Commerce has set up offices in many places overseas, and many materials are transported through such merchant ships. ”

"Don't you see? This is the unloading from the ship face down, and the unloading is three ships. Ouyang asked: "Could it be that there are too many supplies at the supply point, and you want to sell the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

"This ......"

Ouyang was about to speak, and Zhang San said, "My lord, look." Ouyang took a look, and at seven o'clock, more than a dozen warships were coming towards the pier. The two ships that were about to unload immediately lifted anchor and prepared to transfer to the commercial port. And a ship that was unloading was in a mess.

The warships seemed to have spotted them, and at once several warships outflanked and intercepted the two ships. At this time, I found that the fleet, the generals who were supervising the moving of goods, suddenly turned their faces. A cadre of soldiers seized the people on the ship that was unloading the cargo on the spot.

Li Siyi pointed out: "My lord, over there." ”

Several businessmen-looking figures fled the docks, and the soldiers around them ignored them. Ouyang shook his head: "It is clear that you want to sacrifice the goods." I calculated that the profit from the imperial court's tax collection was 20%, and the 3rd ship lost 2.4% of the goods. They needed twelve ships of goods to earn it back. "Smuggling is not only silver, but also the return of grain, leather, etc. In order to ensure the Songnai market, it is absolutely reasonable to draw taxes and stabilize prices.

A bodyguard said: "My lord sees it." Although my shopkeeper was not involved in this matter, he knew that someone was making small moves. But adults may not know that many court ministers have shares in these ships. Like the general in charge of the camp. Ten of them are the cronies who were put below through the Ministry of War. ”

Another bodyguard said, "It's like a cat catching a mouse." If he is caught, the minister also thinks that he is unlucky, and he will not make a noise or retaliate, but he will find a way to confiscate the ship, not scuttle. Finally, take the boat back. And many of the materials smuggled to the Jin State were also sent from military ports. Yushitai sent several groups of people to investigate, but the internal work was complicated, and there was no substantive evidence, so there was no way to break the root. When you are unlucky, you hit the fleet at sea, and the game is over. ”

The bodyguard said: "They not only transport goods, but also laborers, so they say that there must be more than 100 laborers under this ship." For example, in the Song Tu of ***, there are underground transactions that are specially recruited to work in the Song Dynasty. These people are all coolies, and I heard that there are special private coolie trading markets in the triangle of Hangzhou, Yangzhou and Hongzhou. Generally, big businessmen will not touch it, most of them are small and medium-sized businessmen's farms, or they help big businessmen process a certain material, and some landlords will do this. These people's wages are only 20% of those of the Great Song Dynasty, and their working hours are not taken care of. The only good thing is that after five years of work, the owner will help him settle in the Great Song Dynasty. But most of them are settled in natural villages, and if they have the ability, they will mix it up by themselves in the future. ”

"The court knows a little about this, but it doesn't interfere too much. Anyway, it wasn't the people of the Great Song Dynasty who were tired to death, and someone finally did those dirty and tiring jobs. The dung trucks and swill trucks in the city are all responsible for these people. And these positions were originally opened at a high price, and few people were willing to do it. ”

Ouyang took a breath of cold air, this is the predatory human beings and slave trade tacitly approved by the imperial court. What kind of gold panning, mining with these people, if they die, they don't have to pay how to pay. Draw a pie and let everyone be hungry. I wonder how many people will survive five years from now? And five years from now, will these shady businessmen keep their promises? Yes...... It seems that the slave trade started on its own. Due to his own proposal, the imperial court exchanged the conditions from the Jin State to a group of young and strong people in the northwest.

Just thinking about it, as the bodyguard said, a hundred or so people walked out from under the cabin. This boat is not big, but it is stuffed with so many people? Ouyang feels that there is already a prototype of Chinese smuggling in the 90s of the 20th century. The captain of the fleet will begin to land, and on the other side, an army of 1,000 troops from the Hangzhou position will come towards the dock. Ouyang said: "Go down and take a look." ”

Before Ouyang arrived at the port, the army from Hangzhou had already arrived first, counting the number of illegal workers and making a register. These people will be turned from private slaves into official slaves, working for the government. If you are lucky enough to be in good health, you can be charged into the box army, and if you are not lucky, you don't know.

When he arrived at this place, Ouyang couldn't say his name, because no one might sell it. So the bodyguard power came out. The bodyguards not only knew the generals of the Hangzhou army, but also had friendships with the generals of the fleet camp. However, this friendship is friendship, but it is not allowed to enter, and the private statement is: There is a head family at home, everything comes according to the rules, and irrelevant people are not allowed to enter.

In the end, the camp general still gave the bodyguard face, and sent a big tent to the station, which was stabbed to the station, for the merchant Ouyang. Soon a soldier from the big tent came out of the checkpoint: "The general is invited." ”

When he arrived at the location of the big tent, Ouyang Yileng turned out to be Liang Hongyu leading more than a dozen captains to wait outside the big tent. neatly said: "Hello sir." ”

It's all their own students. Ouyang smiled and said, "Let's go by myself, I'm just going to go shopping casually, and I'll take a look at you by the way." ”

"Yes!" The captains dispersed.

"You're so dark." Ouyang walked up to Liang Hongyu and sighed: "Didn't think it would be such a coincidence? ”

Liang Hongyu said as she walked: "It's not a coincidence, I received the news earlier, and someone is preparing to unload smuggled goods at the dock today." General Yue ordered me to go to sea on a false loan, and I came back two days later. I just didn't expect you to be nearby too. Don't...... This shipment is yours? ”

Ouyang smiled and asked, "It's mine, will you let it go?" ”

Liang Hongyu said: "This ......" Zhiwu didn't know what to say for a long time.

Ouyang sighed again and entered the big tent, where the two female soldiers stood behind Liang Hongyu after watching the tea. Ouyang saw that Liang Hongyu really couldn't answer this question, and he was not embarrassed: "It's not mine." ”

"Oh!" Liang Hongyu exports atmospheric.

"However, if it is Yue Fei and Li Bao, they will definitely give me a face."

"Stand down." Liang Hongyu instructed: "I have some personal matters to discuss with Master Ou. ”

After everyone went out, Liang Hongyu said, "It's not that I'm ruthless. It's that it's already a big deal. If that's true...... Your goods. I'm sure you'll give it up too. Besides, I'm sure you want and have the means to get this shipment back. ”

"It's not mine, indeed." Ouyang saw that Liang Hongyu had misunderstood, and explained: "I came to accompany the Emperor Taishang on a boat, and then I went shopping in Hangzhou, but I didn't expect to bump into this incident at the tour port." I heard that there are people who do human trafficking, so I want to know more about it. ”

"Oh."

It's a bit cold. Ouyang wanted to know that Liang Hongyu was on duty, and he would definitely not come. Since you came, you have to speak: "It seems that you are more energetic than when you were in Yangping." I heard that you are now the commander of the fifth grade, but you are much stronger than me, and you are still circling around the seventh grade. He understands Liang Hongyu quite well now. In addition to shopping, Liang Hongyu in Yangping is shopping. The only fun is to have some drinks and chat with Ouyang at night. But Ouyang is often absent, and Huilan has to be in charge of the newspaper again, and Liang Hongyu is so bored that she panics.

"Don't laugh at me." Liang Hongyu blushed and said, "I heard that you went to Yuzhou." ”

"Yes!" Ouyang nodded: "It's only been back for a few months." ”

"They all say that Mr. is mighty, and if he doesn't make a move, he will be powerful." Liang Hongyu said: "General Yue also took a strange map and studied it for several days, saying that he could see if he could open a fleet to support you. Did you give him the map? ”

Ouyang didn't hide it from Liang Hongyu, and nodded, "Yes!" ”
