Chapter 1224: One Pot End
"Lord Qin, can we still do this business? That adult didn't seem to welcome us! ”
On the boat, the shipowner and boatmen looked at Qin Hui and shouted, they all looked very lazy.
They are all from the Qi country, and they will not be polite because Qin Hui is the Shangshu of the Great Song Dynasty.
"Leave him alone, let's get on! I'm tired of all of you! ”
Qin Hui hurriedly said.
"As long as the money is settled quickly, everything is easy to say!"
The owner smiled and rubbed his fingers.
Qin Hui understood, and immediately asked the soldiers around him to settle the freight.
"Haha, Lord Qin is refreshing."
When the shipowners saw the freight, they all smiled and clenched their fists.
After the goods were unloaded and the ships left the port, Qin Hui looked at the mountains of fine wine and spices, and was overjoyed, as soon as these were sold, it would double the profits, and he could be greedy for one percent from them, and this one percent was already an astronomical amount.
At this time, a group of people on the pipeline were heading towards the city together, Xiao Jiasui was dressed in cloth and carrying a gift box in his hand and mixed in the crowd towards Tokyo City.
The official road passed by the dock, and Xiao Jiasui happened to see everything that happened on the dock just now.
"Everything is expected by His Majesty!"
Xiao Jiasui thought with a smile, a huge encirclement has been completed, and these people in Tokyo are still dazed, and even Li Gang is dizzy.
Qin Hui saw that the pedestrians on the official road were all looking at the goods on the dock, and he was immediately furious, these were his merits, the emperor's goods.
"Get out, this is the Royal Docks, do you want to die?"
Qin Hui yelled at the onlookers.
Passers-by saw that the officials were angry, and immediately dispersed.
"How is this official road so close to the dock? The goods are all piled up here, what if there are rioters stealing? These are the goods that are going to go into the treasury! To lose it is a capital offense. ”
Qin Hui looked at the dock steward and said angrily.
"Lord Qin, this official road is close to the wharf to transport goods, and this cargo can enter Tokyo directly along the official road when you get into the carriage."
The steward hurriedly explained, and also pointed to a team that had already loaded the goods and was ready to go to the carriage on Guandao.
Qin Hui frowned at the official road where people came and went, although it was convenient, it always made him feel uneasy, worried that the goods would be lost, whether it was wine or spices, they were all quite valuable goods.
"No, you have to think of a way to prevent the loss of goods!"
Qin Hui looked at the steward and scolded.
"My lord, why don't you send some soldiers and horses?"
The steward spoke.
"Where did I get my horses?"
Qin Hui was furious, he had just been promoted to the head of the household department, but the household department had no soldiers and horses at all, only some subordinate officials were on assignment, and these people could not be sent.
"That'...... That can only build a fence to block the shed! ”
The steward had no choice but to speak.
"Well, build a fence, be higher, block this piece, and don't let the rioters see the goods!"
Qin Hui nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and pointed to the area around the dock, he wanted to block the entire dock.
"Yes, sir!"
The steward immediately agreed.
Xiao Jiasui had already followed the crowd to the city gate at this time, and the guards checked it and let it go, Xiao Jiasui entered Tokyo with a smile, and he walked around the outer city before entering the inner city.
"Strategist, you're back!"
When Shi Qian and the others saw that Xiao Jiasui was back, they immediately stepped forward.
"Don't worry, we have legal status!"
Xiao Jiasui said with a smile that he didn't agree with Shi Qian and the others when he went out this time, but he still insisted on going out of the city to see the situation.
"Strategist, but there's a catch?"
Everyone looked at Xiao Jiasui and asked.
"Of course there is, our ships from the Qi Kingdom have been able to reach the dock outside the city, and now the investigation is strict, and they will not transport troops over, but it may not be the case after that."
Xiao Jiasui said with a smile.
"Is the ship ready to get to the docks?"
Everyone was overjoyed, and because of their sensitive identities, they did not venture out of the city.
"Brother Cao Zheng hasn't come back for the past two days, he's just busy with those goods!"
Xiao Jiasui nodded.
"Strategist, I found that Li Gang was tired for a long time, and he didn't have a good rest these days this year, so he checked back and forth at various city gates."
Zhang San said.
"Military Division, the order and time of the change of shifts for the defenders in the inner and outer cities have been inquired clearly."
Li Si also spoke.
"Well, now I'm waiting for Zhao Huan and Zhao Ji to make trouble!"
Xiao Jiasui said with a smile.
"I inquired, but Zhao Ji is preparing to hold a sacrifice to his ancestors during the Lantern Festival, King Su and others have already gone to the Zongren Mansion, and they have notified the vassal kings of various places before, asking them to bring troops back to Tokyo!"
Lehe said.
"The Summoned Vassal King is back?"
Xiao Jiasui was stunned, he didn't know about this.
"I also just inquired, these things were done privately by King Su and others, and the news was very tightly sealed, and the news came out until the vassal kings from all over the country set off with their troops."
Le He said, this time it is true that the news has not been found.
"I didn't expect them to have this trick, even I didn't expect it!"
Xiao Jiasui didn't blame everyone, and he didn't expect the return of the vassal king to Beijing.
"Strategist, I have already sent someone to send this news back to Liangshan as soon as possible."
Le He looked at Xiao Jiasui and said.
"Well, don't worry too much, it's not necessarily a good thing!"
Xiao Jiasui pondered for a moment before saying.
"Strategist, those people are here with soldiers."
Zhang San and Li Si were a little puzzled, the Zhao family vassal kings were all members of the Zhao family, although they would fight inwardly, but as long as they made a move, they would definitely be unanimous to the outside world.
"If you lose your horse, you don't know if it's a blessing! These vassal kings are entrenched in the localities, and they have soldiers and money in their hands, so they can be regarded as local emperors. If we take Tokyo and serve it here, won't those feudal kings immediately take their place and establish themselves as kings? At that time, it will be troublesome to clean up the pattern of various places. ”
"It's different now, these vassal kings have all come to Tokyo, which means that all the forces of the Zhao family have gathered in Tokyo, and they just have a pot to serve them, and they will save trouble in the future."
Xiao Jiasui said with a smile.
"Haha, the military advisor is right, give them a pot!"
The crowd burst out laughing.
Li Gang came out of the palace with a disgraced face, and the emperor didn't pay attention to his words at all, and kept telling Li Gang to put state affairs first, in fact, telling Li Gang that he had to have money to do things.
Li Gang also had no way to argue with it, and the emperor's choice to encourage trade to enrich the treasury rather than raise taxes on the people was a good thing.
But the problem is that this trade is done with the enemy, and Li Gang is very worried that if it goes on like this, the entire court will be full of copper stench, and everyone from the emperor to the officials will only have money in their eyes.
"Li stays behind, how is it?"
Qin Hui's voice sounded, he had already come back from outside the city, and was about to go to the palace when he ran into Li Gang coming out, seeing Li Gang coming out with a disillusioned face, he mocked proudly, Li Gang was outside the city just now, but he didn't give him face.
"Qin Hui, do you know that you are betraying the country!"
Li Gang looked at Qin Hui and said sharply.
"Haha, traitor? Li Gang, without the money I earned, what would you eat in the mansion? What to drink? Who feeds the 500,000 troops around Tokyo? A few days ago, you also helped the soldiers of the Western Army ask for food and ordnance, where did you get the money? ”
Qin Hui looked at Li Gang coldly and said.
