Chapter 161
In other words, during the raw silk production season and the grain harvest season, the water transport is busy and the wharf is crowded. Sometimes it takes several days to complete the unloading!
Then why don't I think of a way to build a big wharf, improve the traffic, and then charge fees, so that I can make a fortune and make the goods of my business circulate faster!
After organizing the words, Li Xiao said, "I don't know if Mr. Cui knows anything about the Water Transport Wharf?"

When Cui Zhenfang heard that it was about the wharf, her eyes lit up. As a parent officer by the canal, how could she still not know these precious places?The annual commercial tax collected by the wharf accounts for less than half of Yangzhou's annual tax revenue. Can you understand this clearly?

"The lower officials know everything about the Yangzhou Water Transport Wharf, big or small!"

There is confidence in this statement. Cui Zhenfang is a juren without a big background. She has worked from the fourth rank in 30 years. If it is not political achievements, what is it?
If you want to make political achievements, why don't you start with these people's livelihood?
"What are the procedures for building a dock? What are the requirements?"

These words really touched Cui Zhenfang's heart. Ask me for the construction of the pier. I will get the approval document for you in one day. From Mr. Cui, there is no requirement at all.

"I don't know where Lord Li wants to dig the pier, and how big is it?" Cui Zhenfang assured, "This matter can be done for Lord Li within a few days!"

Li Xiao didn't hide anymore, "I'm going to build the largest wharf, and there are some corresponding roads. If you need money to buy a venue, Master Cui just say it."

Isn't this a loss-making business?It's so big, what's the use if it's not used?

Seeing Cui Zhenfang's doubts, Li Xiao said, "I'm going to build the wharf and warehouse and rent them out!" Although she couldn't understand, Cui Zhenfang still agreed and promised to finish it within three days!
Seeing that he was so upbeat, Li Xiao sent him a few masked bandits directly.

Cui Zhenfang accepted it ecstatically. This is simply pie in the sky. She didn't expect that not only would there be no punishment, but there would also be benefits.

These bandits reported to the imperial court, but it was their own political achievements, cleared up one side, and ensured the peace of the territory. Maybe the Shaoyin of Yangzhou Prefecture can also move up!

After sending Cui Zhenfang away, Li Xiao didn't stay any longer, and rushed directly to Zheng's mansion with a few uninjured servants.

Zhechong Mansion is also in the south of Yangzhou City, so Cheng Chumo is very fast.

The two parties just met in front of Zheng's mansion, Li Xiao saw thousands of people in front of him, could it be that the whole Zhechong mansion has come?

Cheng Chumo explained a few words in a soft voice, this Captain Zhechong, the head of the local military organization in Yangzhou, had worked under Cheng Yaojin's account back then, and had a very good relationship with him. Go, so there are so many people here.

Cheng Chumo called Du Wei and began to introduce, "Zhang Duwei, this is my good brother, Li Xiao, a man from Qucheng County."

Zhang Duwei, with a beard like a steel needle, shouted in a broken voice, "Master Li's name is like a thunderbolt, and we have admired it for a long time, especially... this one is very heartfelt."

I'm so excited, you used all the idioms in your life today, right?Still fall in love, pour a woolen yarn.

Li Xiao is not going to give Captain Zhang Di a chance to speak, so as not to hurt his own ears, "Captain Zhang Di, today is hard work, just listen to my orders later, I, Li Xiao, will bear all the consequences!"

Before Zhang Di opened his mouth, Li Xiao said again, "In order to prevent the bandits from getting away, a team of people surrounded the perimeter, and the others followed me to break the door!"

"What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and listen to the order. This is the serious founding lord, Zuo Qianniuwei Zhonglang, a serious fourth rank, one older than us, and you are still stunned? Can't remember practicing every day?" Who passed on the military posture and goose step?"

These Qiu Bamen don't care about official positions and titles, but when it comes to practicing the military posture and stepping every day, and later added leapfrog and obstacle running.

It was a nightmare. Every time I practiced, I felt like I was useless. Fortunately, Zhechong Mansion in Yangzhou practiced once every three days. If I practiced every day like the sixteen guards of the capital, I am afraid that I would be dead. But I heard that they practiced every day. Everyone eats meat, and I don’t know if it’s true or not!
All the soldiers were in awe, and then separated a team to carry out Li Xiao's order, and began to encircle and guard Zheng's mansion.

A large number of soldiers gathered in front of the mansion, and someone had reported the situation to Patriarch Zheng. Zheng Wei was very angry. Although Li Shimin was often rude to the five surnames and Qiwang, he did not dare to send the army directly to his mansion!

Today we will see who is so daring to surround the Zheng residence.

This is also in Yangzhou. If it is Xingyang, I am afraid that the soldiers have not yet left the camp, and there will be a higher order to disband them on the spot!
Li Xiao, who was about to give the order to break down the door, saw the heavy mansion door slowly opening, and an old man with white head walked out holding a crutch that Songhe Yannian used. This person must be the head of the Zheng family.

"Who is next, dare to harass the Zheng family in Xingyang, aren't you afraid of losing your head?"

Although Zheng Wei's beard and hair were white, his voice was loud and loud. Only then did the soldiers realize that this was the mansion of the Zheng family in Xingyang, not just a random Zheng family. Bearing it, others want to bear it, but they don't have such a big energy to bear it!
"Patriarch Zheng!" Li Xiao walked out slowly, "Have you lived too long, and your mind is a little confused? Lose your head, you can lose it as soon as you say it? Even if the emperor wants to kill someone, he has to go through the interrogation of the three divisions. You alone The old man kills as soon as he wants? Why, do you want to be the emperor yourself?"

"I didn't rebel." Zheng Wei's eyes widened, I didn't mean that, how could he bring up the meaning of rebellion?

Cheng Chumo was upset watching the two of them arguing, "Master Zan, what are you thinking about, why don't you just rush in and arrest people?"

Brainless!
Li Xiao doesn't want to complain anymore, I still want to arrest people directly, and I want to kill people directly!

But you didn't see that as soon as the old man came out, he only mentioned the Zheng family of Xingyang, and some of these soldiers showed hesitation. If there are no soldiers, should I catch them by myself?
That means it takes a long time to catch hundreds of pigs!

"Chu Mo, leave it to me, you go and stabilize the soldiers!"

After dismissing Cheng Chumo, Li Xiaolang shouted, "Patriarch Zheng, instigating servants to be bandits and robbing houses, is this crime enough to go to jail?"

"Instructing the servant to be a bandit, you mean that my Zheng family has a servant who is doing evil outside, right? How did you determine that he is my servant of the Zheng family? Have you found out if my Zheng family fired him?"

Zheng Wei smiled disdainfully, "A bandit said he was Zheng's servant, so he is? Does he have the final say?"

"Who knows if someone planted and framed it? Who knows if the bandit was throwing dirty water? This is the royal law of the court. Hearing one side's words, he will come to arrest people?"
