Chapter 1223 - Freight Forwarding Begins
"What are you doing? What about the common instruments? ”
Li Gang frowned at the carriages and horses of the brigade that were about to enter the city, and immediately asked the soldiers to stop those people.
"Li Liushou, we are Lord Qin Hui's mansion, and these are the goods ordered by His Majesty."
The official who led the team saluted Li Gang.
"Your Majesty's hand-picked goods? Check it out! ”
Li Gang ordered to the soldiers beside him.
The soldiers immediately swarmed up, reaching out to tear off the tarpaulin covering the goods to inspect the goods.
"Stop, this is the goods ordered by His Majesty!"
The leading official scolded the soldiers who were about to make a move, and emphasized to Li Gang.
"With so many goods, how can you enter the city without checking?"
Li Gang said selflessly with an iron face, these goods were obviously transported from Liangshan, so many carriages and horses, and the goods were still covered with tarpaulin, how could he rest assured that he would enter the city.
"Li Liushou, if you have to check, then take out His Majesty's handwritten edict!"
The leading official looked at Li Gang and said.
"Hand oracle? Do you have a decree to bring goods into the city? As a stayer in Tokyo, this official has the right to inspect anything that enters the city! Examine! ”
Li Gang directly ordered, and the soldiers did not hesitate to listen to the order, and lifted the tarpaulin and checked it.
Truckloads of fine wine, truckloads of spices, the soldiers carefully examined and found nothing.
The gate of the city is when there are many people, at this time the road into the city is blocked by the carriage is fenced, looking at those wine and spices are amazed, now it is the New Year's Festival, wine and spices are in short supply.
"Alright, you can go!"
Seeing that there was no abnormality, Li Gang waved his hand and ordered.
"Li stayed behind...... I will definitely report today's events to Lord Qin! ”
The official watched Li Gang drop such a sentence and led the team away, he didn't dare to offend Li Gang when he was a lowly official, but Qin Hui was different, he was the emperor's favorite minister.
Li Gang didn't care, Qin Hui is now helping the emperor collect money, he is not good at commenting, but as a left-behind guard in Tokyo, he must do things like duties.
The convoy left, the gates were clear again, and the crowds in and out of the city were clear again.
Li Gang returned to the castle tower tiredly and lay down on the chair, he was a little tired, there were too many people in and out of Tokyo during this time, although he had ordered the outside to be loose and the inside tight.
But the flow of people during the New Year Festival was too large, and the city gates were in a hurry, so he was worried that something would go wrong, so he kept patrolling the city gates.
"Li Gang, this is tired!"
Zhang San was hiding in the crowd and peeking at the city wall, and he saw Li Gang's white sideburns and tiredness on his face.
"That's right, stay on the city wall all day, don't squint for a while until the second half of the night, and continue to patrol between the city gates at dawn, not to mention that he is a literati, even if he is an iron man, he can't stand it!"
Zhang San thought silently in his heart, he had been wandering around the outer city in the past few days, and he had seen Li Gang's figure on more than one city tower.
Li Gang, who was really squinting slightly above the city tower, suddenly felt that something was wrong, as if someone was peeping, he immediately looked around, but there were people coming in and out of the city tower, where could I find someone who snooped.
"Li stays behind, but what's the matter?"
Wang Yu looked at Li Gang and asked, Recently, Li Gang's left-behind mansion was short of people, and he was transferred to be in charge of the defense of Tokyo.
"It always feels like there's a pair of eyes peeping in the dark!"
Li Gang shook his head and said.
"Liangshan's group of people is not simple, there must be their eyeliner in the city, but Tokyo has too many people, we can't find it at all!"
Wang Yu glanced at the city and said, as a guard, he naturally knew what he was most afraid of defending the city, but Tokyo was not an ordinary city, and it was impossible for them to impose martial law on the whole city and search them one by one.
"Why are there so many people on the docks?"
Li Gang glanced around, and finally his eyes fell on the Wuzhang River, there were a lot more boats at the wharf than a few days ago, and there were also a lot more people.
"It's the New Year's Day, why are there more ships?"
Wang Yu was also a little surprised, it stands to reason that the New Year is over, all walks of life are on holiday, and the same should be true on the dock.
"No, those boats aren't our style!"
Li Gang looked at it for a while, his face became gloomy, Liangshan's shipbuilding industry is developed, and the style is also unique, which is very different from that of the Great Song Dynasty.
"Yangsan's ships!"
Wang Yu also recognized those ships, and his face was not good-looking.
"Let's go!"
Li Gang beckoned the soldiers to go down to the city, he wanted to go to the dock to have a look.
The group walked to the vicinity of the dock, where the workers were now in full swing, unloading the goods on the ship.
"Be careful, be careful, these things are precious!"
The dock steward shouted at the workers.
"Stop, how did these boats come to the docks!"
Li Gang shouted and stopped everyone on the dock.
"My lord, what's wrong with the ship bringing cargo to the docks?"
The steward looked at Li Gang and saluted and asked.
"These ships are not my Great Song ships!"
Li Gang pointed to Liangshan's ship and said.
"We don't have enough ships, these ships are rented, and they will leave after unloading."
The steward said to Li Gang.
"This official has repeatedly ordered that all ships entering Tokyo must be strictly inspected, how did these ships get in!"
Li Gang didn't listen to the explanation and scolded him directly.
"There are papers! Otherwise, these ships will not be able to reach the dock! ”
The steward was frightened by Li Gang's face, and hurriedly said, he is just a dock steward, responsible for unloading the goods intact, where do you know so much? However, the ship can only reach the Tokyo pier through layers of inspection, and there must be paperwork.
"What paperwork?"
Li Gang asked.
"Holy Decree!"
At this moment, a rapid sound of horses' hooves sounded, and Qin Hui rushed over on a horse, holding a roll of yellow satin in his hand, which was a holy decree.
"Divine decree?"
Li Gang frowned slightly, looking at the roll of yellow satin.
"Li Liushou, I heard that you have objections to the goods of our household department? In order to avoid misunderstanding, I specially brought it to you to see! ”
Qin Hui looked at Li Gang and said.
"You also allowed these ships to enter Tokyo?"
Li Gang looked at Qin Hui and asked.
"It's not me, I'm just a household secretary, and I have no right to manage this, this is allowed by His Majesty!"
Qin Hui opened the holy decree and acted cheaply, and the four big characters jumped on the holy decree.
"Acting cheaply?"
Li Gang's brows furrowed even tighter, this kind of holy decree can also be made casually?
"Li Liushou, don't you want to resist the order?"
Seeing that Li Gang did not react, Qin Hui immediately raised the holy decree.
"I'm going to see Your Majesty!"
Li Gang left with such a sentence, he wanted to ask the emperor why he made such a holy decree, don't you know what the situation is now.
"Hmph, I don't know how to lift!"
Qin Hui kept the holy decree and snorted coldly and put the holy decree away.
"Don't be idle! Continue unloading! ”
Qin Hui yelled at the stewards and workers at the dock, he didn't care that Li Gang went to see the emperor, and the emperor would not get along with money, he must be on his side.
