Nine Pins Immortal Road

Chapter 83 Smuggling

Ludong County's river inspections, daily inspections of rivers and lakes, in addition to cleaning up various hidden dangers such as monsters and bandits, there is another important task, which is to inspect smuggling.

The nineteen states of the Dajin Xian Dynasty are vast, and each state has its own rich resources and resources that are in short supply.

For example, Yangzhou is the hometown of fish and rice and is close to the East China Sea. It is rich in Lingmi, Lingyan, and various rare treasures in the sea.

But relatively speaking, this place in Yangzhou is in short supply of various spiritual mineral resources.The 'Xuanling Iron Mine' in Fuyu Mountain has been regarded as an extremely important spiritual mineral resource.

On the other hand, the land in the northwest of the Great Jin Dynasty is another story.

There are abundant resources of various spiritual minerals, but there is a shortage of spiritual rice, spiritual salt and other materials, and all kinds of rare resources in the sea are extremely popular and in short supply.

In this case, as long as the Lingmi, Lingyan, and rare treasures in the sea that are abundant in Yangzhou are transported to the northwest and other places, the price will naturally increase tenfold or even dozens of times; Back in Yangzhou, I can make a lot of money again.

Therefore, the Great Jin Dynasty has always imposed heavy taxes on it.

In particular, some resources such as spiritual salt and spiritual iron not only have heavy taxes, but also restrict resources.

In this way, under the impetus of huge interests, many smuggling activities will inevitably occur.

The 'Snake' monster used to be the 'Shuijun' of the Changbu River, and it controlled all the water races in the river, but it has seen many smuggling activities in the Changbu River.

And those smuggling caravans, often when passing through the Changbu River, will also offer some spiritual pills, elixir and other materials to the 'Tuo Snake' Suijun, which can be regarded as passing money.

'Snake' also usually turn a blind eye to this.

At this time, Liang Zhaohuang got the information about these smuggling operations from 'Duo Snake'.

It gave him an eye-opening feeling.

"Unexpectedly, under the River Inspection Division controlled by the Lu family, there are so many smuggling operations here in Changbu River!"

"Oh! No!" Liang Zhaohuang suddenly felt a move in his heart, "The Lu family has controlled the river inspections in Ludong County for hundreds of years. Unless they are all fools and trash, it is impossible for them to be unaware of these smuggling."

"But these smuggling activities are still rampant, and even more and more prosperous."

"There is only one possibility for this situation!"

"That's the Lu family ignoring or even covering up these smuggling operations."

"More likely, in these smuggling operations, the Lu family is part of it!"

Liang Zhaohuang's thoughts went straight, and he even thought of a deeper level.

"Xie Wenyun, the new county magistrate, has announced the appointment of positions. There is no major movement from the other county magistrates. Only the Lu family's 'river patrol' position has been taken and let him serve as the river patrol position."

"Is it related to these smuggling?"

"He was appointed as the river patrol inspector in Ludong County. Is he going to fight these smuggling operations?"

Liang Zhaohuang is not clear about the game above and the secret pusher, and he and the Liang family know too little information.

However, he had some ideas about these smuggling operations on the Changbu River.

Liang Zhaohuang treated the Lu family 'property first and then soldiers', but the Lu family was calculating every step of the way, there was no 'ceremony' at all, only 'soldiers'.

Now that there is a chance, Liang Zhaohuang naturally doesn't mind taking revenge and going back one or two.

Through the memory of the 'snake', Liang Zhaohuang knew that the next smuggling operation would be three months later.

He decided to check the situation when the time came.

As for this seriously injured snake, it was temporarily kept at the station of the River Inspection Division on the Changbu River.

When it recovers from the injury, Liang Zhaohuang is still very interested in the position of the 'Shuijun' of the Changbu River.

Solving the problem of monsters entrenched in the river, Liang Zhaohuang led the second sister and others to drive the boat of the River Inspection Division to sail on the Changbu River, removing all the rivers and lakes in charge of the Ludong County River Inspection Division. again.

One is to understand the site where he will be responsible for and work in the future; the other is to announce his arrival to many monks and forces active on the Changbu River and on both sides of the river through this inspection. The lakes belong to him.

In addition, Liang Zhaohuang has a hidden purpose.

From the information given by 'Duo Snake', he learned of several commonly used smuggling trade locations. Liang Zhaohuang planned to take this opportunity to visit these places and learn about the surrounding situation first.

Well prepared for the action in three months.

The entire territory of Ludong County has a radius of two to three thousand miles, and the Changbu River stretches for more than 1000 miles. In addition, there are some lakes and deep pools along the line. Waiting for all kinds of information, the speed of progress is quite limited.

This information should have been listed in detail by the previous river patrol and handed over to him.

But the Lu family only left him an empty river inspection department, and even the warehouse was empty, let alone these materials.

Now Liang Zhaohuang can only inspect and understand this information on his own.

Fortunately, he learned a lot of useful information from the 'Den Snake', especially the hydrological information of the Changbu River and various lakes and deep pools, which saved him a lot of time.

Moreover, under such detailed observation and inspection, Liang Zhaohuang also successfully found out the situation of several smuggling trading points, and had some deductions and preparations in his heart.

Ten days later, Liang Zhaohuang ended the first inspection and returned to Ludong County by boat with his second sister Liang Zhaoyu and others.

The Liang family is still continuing to build the family residence. Although except for the core area, other areas can only build various ordinary buildings for the time being, but the planning and layout of the formation, feng shui, and terrain are still necessary.

These are all important arrangements for everyone in the Liang family, but they are indispensable.

Returning to the family, Liang Zhaohuang originally planned to retreat and practice, preparing for the 'smuggling' more than two months later.

It was just that the retreat was interrupted before it even started.

Ye Junzhi, the head of Ludong County, sent a message to the Liang family to send someone to the county government office to divide the spiritual fields and shops.

The Liang family's advanced Jiupin County Hao is not only a change in status, but also a huge change in the family's interests.

The wealthy family members of Jiupin County enjoy a certain proportion of the spiritual field distribution in Ludong County, as well as the distribution of shops in various square cities.

The 'Heijing' Lin family has been reduced from Qipin County to Bapin County. A large number of spiritual fields occupied in Ludong County have been returned, and some of the occupied shops have also been returned; in addition, there is also the Sun family who destroyed the family. The spiritual fields and shops that had been occupied before were all vacant at this time.

Ye Junzhi, the head of Ludong County, has also completed the statistics of these spiritual fields and shops, and distributed them according to the ranks of the various gatekeepers in the county today.

The 'Everstone' stone family has been promoted from Jiupin County Hao to Bapin County Hao, and the interests of the family occupied spiritual fields and shops will naturally increase.

There are also the 'Five Color Lotus' Liang family and the 'Fire Crow' Wang family, two newly promoted Jiupin County nobles, who also want to divide the interests of Lingtian and shops.
