I am not Song Qinzong

"Collect money according to the size, one zhang and one hundred words, and prepare each one, so as not to be troublesome." A loud shout came from the river.

Zhao Huan followed the sound and saw six small boats carrying five soldiers each, rowing along the fleet from the north and south gates.

Xu Shi had been prepared for a long time, and the owners of each ship handed out a string of copper coins from the side of the ship.

After the soldiers on the small boat were counted correctly, they went straight to the next boat without any fuss.

Very proficient, with a tacit understanding.

When the money-collecting boat arrived at the Donggong Fleet, the owner called out: "Masters, we are waiting for the ship to carry no cargo, and here is the tax-free passage issued by the Kaifeng government. Please also exempt the regular money."

The leader of the army didn't even look at the receipt, he just shouted: "It doesn't matter what your background is, the regular money must not be waived, pay the money quickly and let go, so as not to delay the time to open the gate."

"Master Jun, there are more than ten water cities located thousands of miles away. If the usual money is unavoidable, the villain will lose his money!" the captain cried bitterly.

"Damn your mother!" The military chief scolded, "Your three-foot-long ship can earn a lot of money just by carrying cargo.

Look at your receipt from Kaifeng Mansion, so they don't search for your smuggled goods, pay the money quickly and get out. "

Qiang~ The soldier drew out his waist knife and shouted: "Otherwise, please go to Mr. Dong and explain to him."

"Master, calm down, pay the money, pay the money." The captain was persuaded.

In order to eliminate hidden dangers, no one knew Zhao Huan's true identity from the owner to the coolie of the rented ship.

Zhao Huan returned to his hometown as a military officer in the yamen of a high-ranking official, so he brought his troops with him.

Transporting soldiers is not a good job, but the Kaifeng government gave a tax-free receipt.

In other words, the ships traveling back and forth do not need tax deeds, and can travel unimpeded.

The taxation of Guochao is very heavy, even if the tax is exempted for one trip, it is enough to make the boatman go ten or eight times.

But it is obvious that the regular money collected by these soldiers is obviously not a custom tax, and the note from Kaifeng Mansion has no effect.

"Self-charging, so arrogant and domineering!"

"Wait a minute in the yamen." Seeing that Zhao Huan was about to come out to uphold justice, Liu Ziyi hurriedly stopped him, saying: "The front and rear water cities are attacking, and there are soldiers stationed on both sides, this is a place of death.

If the local officers and soldiers suddenly attack with evil intentions, I am afraid that we will be besieged to death.

If you want to ask questions, you might as well go out of the water gate and return by land. "

"Alright, I'll listen to you." Zhao Huan said again: "Tell the rear to pay the money and go out, and then ask the boatman, what is the background of Master Dong."

"Here." Liu Ziyi responded, and let down a small boat, notifying the front and rear boats to go.

78 Enemy

"Ya Nei, this Master Dong has quite a background." Liu Ziyi said with a strange face.

Zhao Huan snorted coldly and said, "Don't be foolish, just talk about it, I want to see how powerful he is."

"This person is not very powerful, he just has a good backer." Liu Ziyi said: "Back then, when Gao Qi was a rascal, he only helped out in Tokyo.

Because he helped the son of a pig iron king to send money, three tiles and two sheds a day, full of wind and snow, he was sued by his father in Kaifeng's mansion. The people in Tokyo did not allow him to stay at home.

Gao Qiu had no choice but to seek refuge with Liu Dalang, an idler who ran a gambling shop, named Liu Shiquan, and lived there for three years.

Later Zhezong pardoned the world, but this Liu Shiquan was related to Dong Jiangshi who opened a herbal medicine shop under the Jinliang Bridge in Tokyo.

Dong Sheng stayed at Yao's house for more than ten days, and then recommended him to Xiao Su, who then recommended Xiao Su to the captain-in-law, this is the trajectory of Gao Qiu's growth. "

Poppi suddenly came to Taiwei, who in the world would not envy and hate?Therefore, Gao Li's deeds are well known.

Zhao Huan asked: "Could it be that Master Dong is the General Dong who opened the raw medicine shop?"

"Although he missed, it's not far away!" Liu Ziyi said: "The general Dong died long ago, leaving behind a son named Dong Yue."

Dong Yue... Zhao Huan was speechless.

No wonder Dong Yue's idiot can be the commander of the deputy capital in front of the palace, but it turns out that there is such a connection.

Liu Ziyi said again: "Master Dong here is the inspector of Fengyang Town, Dong Kuai, who turned out to be a cousin of Dong Yue, who was in charge of entertaining Gao Qiu back then.

Because of this old relationship, Gao Qiu made a fortune and asked him to do a local inspection. "

Patrolling, in charge of training armored soldiers, and patrolling prefectures, has a lot of power. Later, it was changed to patrolling to maintain law and order, and was controlled by the county magistrate.

By the time of this dynasty, inspection departments were set up at all key points of the pass, under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate, and the general rank was nine rank and below.

The inspectors in a small town are no more than the lower nine ranks, and they are really low-level officials. With Gao Qiu's status, he can implement it with just a few words.

"Fengyang Town has a canal running through it, and there is also a water city, all of which are under the control of the Inspection Department.

Therefore, this understanding is really a typical example of humble status.

Just like this regular money, it used to be only a hundred Wen, but it tripled immediately when I got to the top.

However, in five years, Knowing Kuai has accumulated a lot of wealth, which can be called a local rich man. "

With the effort of Liu Ziyi's few words, the boat had already left the water gate and re-entered the Bian River.

Zhao Huan said: "Let's pass the order. We will go to the shore ahead and send troops to find out the details of Dong Kuai's home. After the news is confirmed, we will use all our troops to inspect Fengyang Town for a while."

"Your Highness, it's just a mere inspection, why waste time for it?" Chen Chaolao persuaded: "The people in the south of the Yangtze River are in dire straits at present, and the most important thing is to provide disaster relief.

Even if he was concerned about his relationship with Gao Qiu, it would not be too late to deal with it when the Jiangnan incident was over and he returned. "

"The courtier doesn't know something." Zhao Huan shook his head slightly, and said, "I don't really care about his relationship with Gao Qiu, I just care about his ten thousand family possessions.

At present, I am an incorruptible envoy, so I cannot collect money and food from various places to support the disaster victims. Isn't it suitable for Dong Kuai to do this? "

"Stealing from the rich and helping the poor is really a good idea!" Chen Chaolao decisively changed his plan.

Why did Liu Ziyi only buy [-] shi when he bought food for disaster relief?

No Money!

This Dong Kuai is a sitting tiger, he must be richer than Donggong, so he must win.

Anyway, this guy is breaking the law and discipline, and Donggong's shot is justified.

When Gao Qiu heard the news of impeachment, he thought that the money and food from the Dong family had already reached the hands of the victims in the south of the Yangtze River.

After the calculation was made, all the boats docked by the river, and all the personal guards and three hundred forbidden troops were dressed neatly and stood by for orders.The rest are all guarding the ships, and each holds a knife and gun in his hand.

Seeing this, all the captains and sailors were terrified, but they didn't dare to say a word.
