Chapter Eighty-Four: Playing with Fire and Immolating Yourself

Ye Kangning was very afraid of Li Huai, of course he hated Li Huai too, but this fear was far better than hate, and even he didn't know why he was afraid.

"I don't need you to be a witness, and I won't kill you, after all...... You are the son of Ye Ngai. Li Huai took the knife.

Ye Kangning's hanging heart was slightly lowered.

"You're going to do one thing for me." Li Huai said.

Ye Kangning nodded again and again, and said excitedly: "Your Highness just orders, even if it is to go up the Sword Mountain and go down to the Sea of Fire, Kangning will not give up!" ”

“……”

"You just need to help me get those fourteen people and their goods back, I'm sure they're still in Shangjun." Li Huai said lightly.

The caravan runs the goods, and it will never go empty.

Going short is a loss!

Before they sell the goods in their hands, they will definitely not return to Chang'an, and it is estimated that it is impossible to sell them so quickly.

"I'll try." Ye Kangning didn't dare to guarantee success, but he didn't dare not do it, he was responsible for finding someone and then passing on a message.

Li Huai nodded, and there was another sentence he wanted to give him, "Ye Kangning, no matter who you were in the past, from the moment your father became a colt, you were already a nobleman, instead of useless efforts, it is better to try to digest what you have now." ”

I have to say.

Ye Kangning's vision is very low, like a nouveau riche, he doesn't know how to use his resources at all.

When he was in Chang'an, he took the Chang'an order, and then ...... went to soak a girl in a green house, and she was very serious.

even used the Chang'an Order and Cha Lili to cooperate with the outside, although he made money at that time, as everyone knows, the money was originally his.

In the end, the money became Li Huai's.

After the Chang'an Order.

He is still the top type of nobleman in Guan, and then ...... He gave a charry a few levels lower than his status as a dog's leg.

He has bad intentions.

But at the top, he didn't know what to do badly.

He also has good intentions and wants to do something about it.

At a low level, however, he didn't know how to get things done.

He's not even a gentleman.

In order to avoid the black of those who are close to ink, when Li Huai was in Luoyang, he deliberately distanced himself and did not play with them.

Li Huai thought that Ye Di's education was really problematic, and he had reminded him, but he didn't seem to take it seriously.

Ye Kangning just nodded, not knowing if he listened.

But then again.

His own life, to a certain extent, was chosen by himself.

What does it have to do with yourself?

Li Huai ordered the five elders to be released, and they were given a brief treatment of their wounds in the barracks.

Then they were also given a shower and a change of clothes.

Their men were also released, and the caravan was re-branded, and set off for Shangjun Pass.

When they get to Shangjun Pass.

Ye Kangning is already waiting, those shopkeepers are just after closing, and they are also waiting for tomorrow's switch.

But the destination is not Liangzhou, and they basically want to go to Taiyuan County, or simply deal with the goods in Shangjun.

Listening to Ye Kangning, Li Huai cut down Cha Li, and their first thought was to stay away from Li Huai.

It is best to completely break away from the Blue Dragon Chamber of Commerce.

After all, they are going to mix in the pass.

Guan Zhong Mushen slaughtered but Chali's brother-in-law.

But calm down and think about it.

Li Huai made such a fuss, didn't he make the relationship between him and the Qinglong Chamber of Commerce public, backed by a prince, which didn't seem bad.

The most important thing is that most of them have roots in Chang'an, and most of these people have been suppressed by the West Wind Chamber of Commerce in the past.

If you want to continue to eat in Chang'an, you must stand in line at this moment.

They ended up choosing benefits!

Following Li Huai, it is obvious that you can get the maximum benefit.

If they take refuge in Shen slaughter, it is a gap to survive, and they have to take out a large part of the money they earn and give it to those pig-like bastards who don't do anything.

Ultimately.

Of the fourteen shopkeepers, thirteen are willing to continue to go to Liangzhou, and the rest may have their own reasons.

No one asked him.

It's a free choice.

Guan Ling now listens to Li Huai for everything, and lets him switch it on and off, and he can also set off at night, but the caravans are scattered.

By the time the eighteen treasurers had reassembled, it was already the next morning.

"Harm!"

Li Huai sighed, Cha Li, you really hurt Lao Tzu.

Come to Xiaguandi Pier.

Li Huaiben didn't report any hope, but he didn't expect the old man to be waiting for him.

The old man looked at Li Huai bringing back so many people, and was a little stunned, and thought secretly: "What a big business this son does." ”

There's no need to cross the river to call someone.

The old man was here, lit a small beacon, and on the watchtower opposite, someone quickly responded.

Soon.

There were thousands of boats out of the port, and thousands of sails went upstream, like a black curtain, covering the Yellow River for twenty miles.

At the moment, it seems that the water of the Yellow River is not flowing.

It was too dark last night to look closely.

Now I know that the Xiaguandi Wharf is so big.

"Who is in charge of the lower official land?" Li Huai asked curiously.

Li Xin shook his head and said, "I don't know very well, but on the map, Xiaguandi does not belong to the direct jurisdiction of Jiuyuan City, this is a township-level area, and it should be under the jurisdiction of the local county order." ”

This kind of thing has to ask Lou Xiaowan or Shangguan Coco, Li Xin is a soldier in his own right, regardless of these trivial matters.

"The lower official land is not under the control of the county order." When the old man heard their conversation, he simply interjected.

Li Xin frowned, and said suspiciously: "Uncle, you won't be joking, Yuguo county system, all townships, except for directly governed areas and military areas, as well as the resource areas divided by the imperial court, are under the jurisdiction of the county order, and the lower official land is at the township level, which does not belong to the three categories, why is it not under the jurisdiction of the county order?" ”

The old man patted his forehead, waved his hand and said, "That's what I said wrong, I thought that the Xiaguandi wharf you talked about, and the Xiaguandi is indeed under the control of the county order." ”

Li Huai was also puzzled, "Uncle, do you mean that the lower official land is under the control of the county order, but the county order can't control the lower official land wharf?" ”

The old man nodded, "That's right." ”

"Then who is in charge of the Xiaguandi wharf?" Li Huai asked.

"No one can control the Xiaguandi Wharf, he is ...... Oh, private, this private means that, just like doing business, it's all the shopkeeper. The old man explained, afraid that they didn't understand what private means, and made a special explanation.

Li Huai and Li Xin glanced at each other, the Xiaguandi wharf was not a cargo, so this thing could not be private.

"You're talking about the person who manages the wharf, don't you mean that the entire Xiaguandi wharf belongs to one person." Li Xin wants to make sure.

"No, no!"

The old man shook his head, "There is a person at the dock in Xiaguandi, it is the governor's, and he has the final say here." ”

Private? Governor?

Isn't that a contradiction?

Since it is a private person, how can he hold such a court official position as a governor.

"The governor is not bad, in the past, this was Guandu, we were all coolies, after the governor came, we, the poor people, could sail by ourselves to get work, and after one trip, the governor would only take one-tenth." The old man said with a look of admiration.

Li Xin immediately jumped out, "He still dares to draw your money, the ship tax is handed over to the local yamen, and then the yamen will hand it over to the Taishou and report to the imperial court, what qualifications does he have to draw taxes!" ”

The old man scratched him, "It's not a tax, the dock belongs to the governor of the people, he uses it for us, only one-tenth, the people are kind, otherwise, we poor people, where can we go to make a living." ”

"Uncle, you are wrong, Guandu is Guandu, Shangdu is Shangdu, Guandu has taxes, Shangdu also has taxes, ordinary people like you have no taxes, you don't have to give him money." Li Xin explained to him.

If everyone in every industry had to collect taxes, the country would have been in chaos a long time ago, and all the peasants and ordinary people only had to pay grain taxes, and any other taxes would be non-compliant.

"What about the docks?" The old man asked.

"What dock?" Li Xin didn't understand what the old man meant.

"Of course, it's the wharf for boats, and the port for stopping ships, without these, we poor people can't earn a penny." The old man said.

Li Xin didn't know what to say, "In short, it's just wrong for him to do this." ”

The old man didn't want to pay attention to him, "Can you manage it?" The government can't control it when it comes, and we all rely on the governor to eat. ”

After saying that, he walked aside.

"Your enlightenment ......," Li Xin was anxious.

Li Huai grabbed him and shook his head at him, "This matter is too complicated, don't worry about it for the time being." ”

In general, he understood.

This so-called governor is to use the docks of the imperial court and the boats of the people, and he can make money without doing anything when he goes to that station.

It also earned the hearts of the people!

Will play.

But this is playing with fire, and it is easy to set yourself on fire!

"Doesn't that matter?" Li Xin was still angry about the argument just now, mainly because he didn't win the old man.

Li Huai smiled, how could he not care, "I only need to use one move, and I will beat him all over the ground to find his teeth, and we will talk about it when we go back." ”
