Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 50 Unspoken Rules

Three sea-going ships entered the defense line outside Quanzhou Port at noon, led by small patrol boats.

At two o'clock in Shenshi, he entered the outer port.

This is a special place for ships returning from Fanwai Ocean to stop.

Not long after the ship docked, some port officials boarded the ship.

After checking the travel documents and return documents with Steward Gong, he disembarked.

Not long after that, he got on board the ship with the list of people on board left when he sailed.

Right number of people.

When Xie Jue went to sea, the owner and captain wrote his own name. At that time, he was dressed up by a 17-year-old guard.

At that time, there were so many ships in a fleet, and Xie Jue was the most inconspicuous ship, and none of them got on board to see it.

Now I just glanced at Xie Jue, and when I saw that the age (I was 17 when I went to sea on the document) matched, I passed.

After the reconciliation is over, the crew can disembark and rest, but the cargo on the ship cannot be moved. They can only go to the inner harbor wharf to unload the goods after they have been declared to the Maritime Department and inspected by the Maritime Department.

After the little official checked, he went to say hello to the old sailor on board.

Xie Jue heard that they seemed to be from the same village, so he winked at Guanshi Gong.

Guanshi Gong smiled and nodded, indicating that nothing happened.

If it was said that when the ship set off, the ship was still a piece of loose sand and people were separated, and it was only because of Xie Jue's methods that they dared not disagree, then now, the ship is a diamond plate, not only the hearts are united, but everyone is also sincerely convinced by Xie Jue. Jue.

Never say anything that shouldn't be said.

Xie Jue approached Steward Gong and said in a low voice, "I want old man Xu to tell, let's give them something first, and the little official will let him pick first, old man Xu and the others can also go together."

Guanshi Gong said hello, and hurried to find the old sailor.

When the sea-going ship returns to the port, in addition to the official lottery by the government, there is an unspoken rule that 5.00% of the goods will be drawn to the special treasury of the small official of the port for hard work.

Of course, it is based on the amount approved by the government as the base.

When sea ships go out to sea, the sailors on board are hired. In addition to paying wages, the captain will reserve a small space for the sailors to bring their own goods and sell them as a benefit. But this time, after entering the sea area of ​​the Song Dynasty, Xie Jue said, An additional [-]% of the total cargo on board will be given to the crew as a reward.

(The crew is more considerate)

However, both of these should be approved and purchased by the government in principle.

Now that Xie Jue said this, let the old sailor come forward to say it, even if the old sailor also takes this face, in the future, everyone's relationship will be better.

The old sailor was very pleasantly surprised when he heard what Guanshi Gong said, and hurriedly conveyed it to the little official.

They came from the same village, they have a good relationship, and they are both veterans, so they understand very well how much benefit Xie Jue gave by opening the mouth.

The [-]% hard work fee given by the ship owner is generally for the ship’s goods to be inspected, and the government will pick out the raffled part, and the ship owner will average out the approximate amount from the remaining goods. The hands are picked first, and the port officials are the last.

After such a turn, there are basically no good goods in the hands of the little official.

The quantity is the same, but the selling prices of different types of goods are far from each other.

Now Xie Jue is letting them pick first, which means letting them get the benefits first.

The little official was overjoyed, but said: "Don't mess with the rules, Mr. Xie will not be a good man then."

After hearing this reply, Xie Jue became a little friendly with this little official, and walked over to him and said, "It's okay, our own people will choose first on our ship, and let old head Xu choose for you, and we will replace it when the time comes."

As he spoke, he winked mischievously at the little official.

"Yeah, Xu San, you pick some first, not all of them, just pick a few good ones." The old Xu head laughed beside him.

They didn't know how much gold and precious stones Xie Jue got (he didn't go to Baghdad, so he didn't even know the Caliph's 50 taels of gold), but so many goods on the ship were piled up in the cabin.

Everyone is a veteran, and after estimating the approximate quantity and price, we know that this time the harvest is more than the usual four or five trips.

Moreover, there were too many good things on board, so asking Xu San to pick something first would have no effect on Xie Jue, but for Xu San, it was completely different.

Small official, small official, refers to the people in the yamen. In fact, they don't have much salary, and their status is still low.

These tribute fees for seagoing ships are their biggest source of income.

Whether something is good or bad, the value directly differs by a few hundred taels, which is a big gap for them.

Hearing what old man Xu said, Xu San pondered for a while, then cupped his hands to Xie Jue and said, "Thank you, my lord."

Xie Jue smiled and asked old man Xu to take him down the cabin.

Not long after, the little official ran out of the cabin.

He rushed directly in front of Xie Jue.

Xie Jue looked at him puzzled.

"Mr. Xie, your crew members can already disembark. It's not easy to take the cargo with you, but you can take your luggage with you," said the official with a serious face.

Xie Jue frowned slightly.

The little official rolled his eyes and said, "My lord, I'll just say it straight, your things are too good and too much, they will attract people's attention."

With a slight wave of Xie Jue's hand, everyone around him backed away.

The little official also lowered his voice and said: "Young master, when you went out, there were twelve boats, and Xie Guang was the leader of the big boat, but now, except for the one boat going to Daguang, there are three of you, thank you. Neither the light nor the others' ships came back."

Xie Jue's expression darkened slightly and he said, "After we left Zhuli Port, there was a big storm on the road, and the fleet got separated. After Master Li's boat and I got together, we couldn't find them, so we had to go by ourselves. Basra, these have documents."

The little official sighed softly: "Mr. Xie, you are a foreigner, and you don't know the power of Xie Guang's family in Quanzhou. Besides, the other ship owners' families are also very large. This time, there are two ships with goods on board, and even The money was paid by the whole family together, young master, they don’t care if you met a big storm or not, they just think, why did you go out together, but only you came back with such a huge wealth?”

Xie Jue lowered his eyes.

people's hearts...

The little official looked aside and said in a low voice: "Young master, I saw that there are many precious stones and some gold jewelry under you. Those are all personal belongings. You can take them away. If you still have silver and gold, It was earned by you, not in the lottery, but also your belongings. There are 280 sailors and crew members on your ship. It is normal for each person to bring one or two hundred catties of belongings. Now those people don’t know that the ship is back. , it's getting late now, the city's shipping department will take a rest tomorrow, and you can report it in two days at night. If you need official documents for sale, just leave [-] gems. The special warehouse is too lazy now, so it won't let you go Count the specific number, and then let him write a batch of fragmented gems."

Xie Jue blinked twice.

Damn, you can still do this!
