Water Margin people

"Master Qin, can we still do this business? The master just now doesn't seem to welcome us!"

On the ship, the captain and boatmen looked at Qin Hui and shouted, they all looked very lazy.

They are all from the Qi State, and they will not be polite because Qin Hui is the Minister of Household Affairs in the Song Dynasty.

"Don't worry about him, let's continue! I'm sorry for the cargo!"

Qin Hui said quickly.

“As long as the payment is made quickly, everything will be easy!”

The captain smiled and rubbed his fingers.

Qin Hui understood and immediately asked the soldiers around him to pay the freight.

"Haha, Mr. Qin is so happy."

All the ship owners laughed and clasped their fists when they saw the freight.

After the cargo was unloaded and the ship left the port, Qin Hui looked at the mountains of fine wine and spices and was overjoyed. Once these were resold, the profit would be doubled, and he could get 10% from it, and this 10% was already an astronomical figure. .

At this time, there was a group of people on the pipeline heading towards the city together. Xiao Jiasui, dressed in civilian clothes and holding a gift box in his hand, mixed in with the crowd and headed towards Tokyo.

The official road passed the pier, and Xiao Jiasui just happened to see everything that happened on the pier.

"Everything is as expected by His Majesty!"

Xiao Jiasui smiled and thought, a huge encirclement has already begun, but people in Tokyo are still ignorant, and even Li Gang was stunned.

Qin Hui was furious when he saw the passers-by on the official road looking at the goods at the dock. These were his achievements and the emperor's goods.

"Everyone get lost, this is the Royal Pier, do you want to die?"

Qin Hui yelled at the passers-by who were watching.

Passers-by immediately dispersed when they saw the official getting angry.

"Why is this official road so close to the dock? The goods are piled here. What if some thieves steal it? These are goods that need to be put into the treasury! If they are lost, it is a death penalty."

Qin Hui looked at the dock steward and said angrily.

"Master Qin, this official road is close to the dock so that goods can be transported. The goods can be entered into Tokyo directly along the official road after getting on the carriage."

The steward explained quickly and pointed to a group of people who had loaded the goods and were ready to board the Guandao carriage.

Qin Hui frowned as he looked at the official road with people coming and going. Although it was convenient, it always made him uneasy and worried that the goods would be lost. Whether it was fine wine or spices, they were all very valuable goods.

"No, you have to think of a way to prevent the goods from being lost!"

Qin Hui looked at the steward and scolded him.

"Sir, how about you send some troops?"

The steward spoke.

"Where did I get the soldiers and horses?"

Qin Hui was furious. He had just been promoted to the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, but the Ministry of Hubu had no soldiers at all, only some subordinate officials and servants. These people could not be sent.

"Then...then we can only build a fence to block the cargo shed!"

The steward had no choice but to speak.

"Well, let's build a fence that's high enough to block this entire area so that the rioters can't see the goods!"

Qin Hui nodded with satisfaction and pointed around the pier. He wanted to block the entire pier.

"Yes, my lord!"

The steward immediately agreed.

Xiao Jiasui had already followed the crowd to the city gate. After the guard checked, he was released. Xiao Jiasui entered Tokyo with a smile. He walked around the outer city before entering the inner city.

"Military advisor, you are finally back!"

When Shi Qian and others saw Xiao Jiasui coming back, they immediately stepped forward.

"Don't worry, we have legal status!"

Xiao Jiasui said with a smile that Shi Qian and others disagreed with him when he went out this time, but he still insisted on going out of the city to see the situation.

"Military advisor, is there anything gained?"

Everyone looked at Xiao Jiasui and asked. "Of course there is. Our Qi State's ships can already reach the dock outside the city. Now the inspection is strict and they won't be able to transport troops here, but that won't be the case in the future."

Xiao Jiasui said with a smile.

"Can the ship arrive at the dock already?"

Everyone was overjoyed. They didn't risk leaving the city because of their sensitive identities.

"Brother Cao Zheng hasn't been back for the past two days. He's just busy with those goods!"

Xiao Jiasui nodded.

"Military advisor, I noticed that Li Gang looks tired all the time. He hasn't had a good rest these days. He just checks back and forth at various city gates."

Zhang San said.

"Military advisor, we have already found out the order and time of the shift changes for the inner and outer city guards."

Li Si also spoke.

"Well, now we're just waiting for Zhao Huan and Zhao Ji to start a fight!"

Xiao Jiasui said with a smile.

"I have inquired, but Zhao Ji is planning to hold an ancestor worship ceremony during the Lantern Festival. Prince Su and others have already gone to the clan mansion, and they have notified the vassal kings everywhere to lead their troops back to Tokyo!"

Lehe said.

"Has Prince Zhao come back?"

Xiao Jiasui was stunned, he didn't know about this.

"I just heard about it. These things were done privately by King Su and others. The news was sealed very tightly. The news didn't come out until the vassal kings from various places led their troops to leave."

Lehe opened his mouth and said that this time it was true that the news was not found out.

"I didn't expect they had this trick, even I didn't expect it!"

Xiao Jiasui did not blame anyone. He did not expect to recruit the feudal king back to the capital.

"Military advisor, I have sent people to send this news back to Liangshan immediately."

Lehe looked at Xiao Jiasui and said.

"Well, don't worry too much, it may not be a good thing!"

Xiao Jiasui thought for a moment and then said.

"Military advisor, those people came with soldiers."

Zhang San and Li Si were a little confused. The Zhao family vassal kings were from the Zhao family. Although they would fight internally, they would definitely be unanimous in dealing with the outside world.

"It's a blessing in disguise, but it's a blessing! These feudal kings are entrenched in the place, have soldiers and money in their hands, and can be regarded as the emperors of the country. If we take Tokyo and destroy this place, won't those feudal kings immediately replace them and establish themselves as kings? When the time comes, it will be troublesome to clean up the situation in 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. It just gives them one pot and saves them trouble in the future."

Xiao Jiasui said with a smile.

"Haha, the military advisor is right, give them a pot!"

Everyone burst out laughing.

Li Gang came out of the palace with a defeated face. The emperor ignored his advice and kept telling Li Gang to put state affairs first. In fact, he told Li Gang that he must have money to do things.

Li Gang couldn't argue. The emperor chose to encourage trade to replenish the treasury instead of raising taxes on the people. This was a good thing.

But the problem is that this trade is with the enemy. Li Gang is very worried that if this continues, the entire court will be full of copper odor, and everyone from the emperor to the officials will only see money.

"Li Liushou, how about it?"

Qin Hui's voice sounded. He had returned from outside the city. Just as he was about to go to the palace, he saw Li Gang coming out. Seeing Li Gang coming out with a defeated face, he mocked proudly. Li Gang had not given him face just outside the city.

"Qin Hui, do you know that you are betraying the country!"

Li Gang looked at Qin Hui and said sternly.

"Haha, traitor? Li Gang, without the money I earned, what will you eat and drink in the residence? Who will support the 500,000-strong army around Tokyo? A few days ago, you helped the Western Army generals to get food, wages, ordnance. Where did it come from? money?"

Qin Hui looked at Li Gang coldly and said.
