A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

The clerk checked the cargo on the ship and recorded it.

"Mostly ivory, but also tortoiseshell."

"Move it up."

Liu Ke ordered with a straight face, and then all the goods on the ship were moved onto the dock.

"Ivory...two hundred and one, tortoiseshell...thirty-two."

The big food merchant came over and said with a smile: "Judge Liu, draw one out of ten, what is the price of the rest?"

Liu Ke glanced at Chen Ang beside him and said, "The old rule is, three times a hundred coins per pound..."

The big food merchant lamented: "It's too cheap. This trip is in vain, but the sea is vast, and only the Song Dynasty can afford these things... Those places overseas are so poor!"

These words not only made him poor, but also praised the Song Dynasty.

Liu Ke coughed dryly and said, "Hurry up and weigh yourself."

A clerk came with people to weigh the two hundred and one ivory plants, which took a lot of time.

After weighing, one out of ten is drawn as tax according to the rules.

"Ivory is the most popular in Bianliang, so this batch of goods is sent to Bianliang."

When the businessman on the side saw that it was ivory and tortoise shell, he knew that he had no chance and didn't even look at it.

"slow!"

Just as he was preparing to load the goods, Wang Yu suddenly made a sound.

Liu Xiaoxiao said: "Young Master, do you have something to say? It's just that this guy can't be delayed. Many people in the capital are eagerly looking forward to it!"

There was a hint of blame in these words.

Can we stop fooling around?

As he said that, he looked at Chen Ang.

Chen Ang wanted to see the price on his sleeve, but was embarrassed. Seeing him looking over, he said, "What's the rush? Those who can buy ivory can either use it to make wat boards or use it to make other things. There's no rush."

Wat board is an essential tool for high-ranking officials, mainly used for records and memos.

Moreover, ivory is made of hard material and can be called a sharp weapon when used in fights.

Last time Ouyang Xiu knocked out all of Chen Zhong's big teeth with a wat board. The wat board was made of ivory. It can be said that he became famous in one battle.

Wang Yu walked over, reached out and touched the thick ivory, and said, "How do you remember that five years ago, at the Guangzhou Shipping Department... ivory cost three hundred yuan for two pieces..."

Liu Ke said in astonishment: "Xiao Langjun, that was before..."

Wang Yu tried to carry an ivory on his shoulders and felt that it weighed at least fifty or sixty kilograms. He dropped the ivory heavily and turned around: "Ivory... What is the difference between the ivory five years ago and the ivory today? Judge Liu, can you explain it?"

Liu Kegan smiled and said: "The prices of everything have increased. The prices of everything have increased."

"Who raised it? What's the reason?"

Chen Ang was angry, and Liu Ke said: "The price increased three years ago. Three years ago, the Great Eater encountered a storm at sea, and a fleet full of ivory sank... The price of ivory increased."

This reason was very strong. Wang Yu asked: "That fleet sank...who saw it?"

Liu Ke glanced at him and said, "This kind of thing...can't be false."

This logic made Wang Yu want to laugh, so he laughed, very sarcastically.

"How stupid! Before I came, the DPRK decided not to use ivory to make tablets anymore... Bianliang didn't want any ivory slips... So, how much is it worth?"

"Can't you?"

Liu Ke blurted out: "Can the imperial court still use wooden wat boards? Moreover, the powerful and wealthy people like ivory slips."

Are you fooling me?

He looked at Chen Ang dissatisfied, but was overwhelmed by the anger in Chen Ang's eyes.

"What is impossible? The cannibal fleet sank, who saw it? Why didn't you say it was impossible at that time!? Why?"

Chen Ang took a step closer angrily and shouted: "Did you accept their benefits? Tell me!"

"Nothing!"

Liu Ke said: "This matter has been reported."

"Who agreed?"

What idiot agreed?

Chen Ang shook his head, and Wang Yu shook his head.

This matter has something to do with the Third Division, and it also has something to do with the Political Affairs Hall. What kind of fool agreed with a slap on the head?

The one above slaps the head, what about the one below?

Wang Yu asked: "You have been in the Shipping Department for many years, so you should be very familiar with maritime trade, right?"

"Cooked."

It would be dereliction of duty to dare to say that you are not familiar with it.

Wang Yu continued to ask: "The Dashi businessman said that the ship sank, why did you report it?"

Liu Ke sighed and said: "The Great Cannibal and the Great Song Dynasty are friends, friends for many years. This is not what I said, the important officials in the court also think so."

Young man, don't try to find fault with me.

And you can’t pick one.

There is nothing wrong with this matter from beginning to end. Are you trying to convict someone out of thin air?

Liu Ke was smiling, but there was a coldness in his eyes.

He thought this was a provocation to himself, and even Wang Anshi's son couldn't care less.

If you beep again, believe it or not, someone will make you lose face?

He clenched his fists tightly, even Chen Angzai couldn't bear it anymore.

Can you try beeping again?

Wang Yu glanced at him. His eyes were a little contemptuous: "Friend... I think this is your friend?!"

"presumptuous!"

Liu Ke solemnly said: "Chen Tuiguan, I will not tolerate this kind of injustice, and the Hangzhou Shipping Department will not tolerate it. This matter must be given an explanation, otherwise I will immediately file a letter to the capital."

Chen Ang said coldly: "Who wrote to the capital to ask for an increase in the price of ivory?"

Liu Ke said calmly: "Someone's predecessor."

Chen Ang glanced at Wang Yu, and a sharp look flashed in Wang Yu's eyes.

Let’s do it!

They came here not to treat guests to dinner, but to cause trouble!

Chen Ang took a deep breath and felt that the future was unclear. But he still trusted Shen An's plan.

"Somebody come!"

A sergeant accompanying him came forward to listen to the order. Chen Ang said: "Take Liu Ke and interrogate him immediately."

Liu Ke was stunned, and then said angrily: "What does this mean? You don't have this right, come on, come on..."

Wang Yu said coldly: "The Shipping Company is engaged in business, but in fact it is a merchant, trading for the Song Dynasty. But who has ever heard of merchants taking the initiative to raise prices when purchasing goods?"

"That's a shipwreck..."

Liu Ke was controlled by two sergeants. He shouted with all his strength: "Come here, come here..."

"Shipwreck?"

Wang Yu opened the folding fan and fanned it gently, feeling that all the idiots in front of him were idiots.

You don’t even deserve to talk to someone!

“The ship has been sinking for three years, why didn’t the price increase?”

Liu Ke said subconsciously: "I forgot!"

"forgotten?"

Wang Yu felt that the superiority of IQ was too strong, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad.

"You are doing business for the Song Dynasty, but a businessman would forget to make money, and it is still an opportunity to make a lot of money?"

He took a step further, raised Liu Ke's chin with a folding fan, shook his head and said, "You are stupid, but you are really stupid. As an official in the Shipping Department, the first priority for political achievement is to make money. The more you earn, the faster you will be promoted. Don't you want to Promotion?"

Liu Ke shook his head, not knowing what he meant.

Wang Yu sighed: "I have met countless officials, and there is no one who doesn't want to be promoted. They will do anything to get promoted. But what about you? There is a great opportunity in front of you but you turn a blind eye... I went to see the market before leaving the capital. Why does the price of goods purchased by Bosibo keep rising...why?"

He sneered: "Why? Tell someone, why?"

Sweat gradually sprung up on Liu Ke's forehead.

Wang Yu said coldly: "There are people who don't want to be promoted...why? What makes you want to stay in Shibo Division even if you don't want to be promoted?"

"money!"

Wang Yu took back the folding fan and said happily: "Only money, a lot of money, can make you give up the opportunity to be promoted... With money, you can have all kinds of good life, how great is it?"

He turned around and said to Chen Ang: "If this person is not corrupt, I would gouge out these eyes of someone."

He said it very seriously, and even reached out his hand and dug in front of his eyes with his index and middle fingers.

"This is a false accusation, this is a conjecture... someone is going to sue you, someone is going to file a letter to the capital, to the Prime Minister... to the officials..."

Wang Yu turned around and looked at him, raised his head slightly, frowned and said, "You have no chance."

Chen Ang pointed at the big food merchant and shouted: "Take him!"

The big food merchant was watching in confusion and feeling very lucky, but in the blink of an eye, he became the target of arrest.

His first reaction was to run, turned around and ran.

"catch him!"

The two sergeants chased him out, but the big food merchant jumped into the water first.

"This is a guilty conscience!"

Wang Yu touched his chin and said: "The water here... is a bit muddy. Whoever gets him up will pay ten guan of money."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of falling into the water was heard all the time, and even the sailors on the big food merchant's ship jumped into the water.

These people swam toward the rippling water like a group of ducks.

The 'duck' dived into the water, the water surged, and then jumped up again.

"I caught him, someone caught him!"

Several men were fighting, and the man who finally succeeded dragged the food merchant back who was half drowned.

"Let's interrogate. I hope it won't be a big trouble." Wang Yu felt that there must be big trouble: "The thing I'm most afraid of is the nest after nest... I think it should be. If you don't believe it, you look at those people's eyes, they are all dizzy, this It’s a guilty conscience.”

Chen Ang looked at Wang Yu with a headache, "You are so scheming at such a young age. Originally I just wanted to clean it up, but now that you are doing this, I am afraid that the Shipping Department will be restless. Come on, hurry up. In addition, go Get some help."

…

The docks were at a standstill.

The officials slowed down their inspections of Bomai. It would have been reasonable for the maritime merchants to complain, but they didn't.

No complaints.

Everyone is waiting and watching, waiting for the latest results.

But Feng Jin went crazy and rushed directly into Chen Ang's station.

"Why do you want to take someone? Is there any evidence?"

He stood in the yard with his hands behind his hands, hearing the screams in his ears, and his eyelids could not help but twitch.

Chen Ang said: "Liu Ke is suspicious, and someone has discovered that he spends money lavishly in the past few days. There must be something wrong with him."

Feng Jin said coldly: "If there is a problem, you have to find out before arresting the person. Release the person! Otherwise, if the matter is not found, a memorial will be made at a certain meeting..."

Hangzhou is a big state, and those who can come here to be governors must have some background, and secondly, their status is not low.

Can you bear the anger of Hangzhou Zhizhou?

"... took the benefits... not just one person, but many people... most of the officials in the Municipal Shipping Department took the money... let someone go, and confessed..."

Feng Jin's face was stiff. Wang Yu came out and nodded: "I want to see Feng Zhizhou's anger..."

Feng Jin said coldly: "Submission becomes a move..."

"There is money at home...it's all under the wooden board in the study...pry it open...you can see it if you pry it open...please spare me, you can pry it open and you can see the money, I swear not to lie..." "

Feng Jin's expression changed again.

As soon as he said he was beaten, Liu Ke confessed that there was money under the floor of his study room...

Who hides money so secretly?

This is obviously a problem!

After being slapped in the face by reality twice in a row, Feng Jin, an old bureaucrat in the city, couldn't stand it anymore, and there was a suspicious red color on his face.

He felt insulted.

It’s a great shame!

Is that enough?

He looked up at Chen Ang.

Chen Ang smiled apologetically, "If the Shipping Department wants to reform, it must first improve the management of officials..."

Boss, UU reading www． ｕｋｓｕ.net I didn’t mean to embarrass you!

Okay, this explanation is a roundup.

Feng Jin's face softened slightly, and he was about to say a few words, but Wang Yu's poisonous tongue activated...

"Most people in the Shipping Department are corrupt...does Feng Zhizhou know that?"

This is a personal attack from Chi Guoguo.

——Since most people in the Municipal Shipping Department are suspected of corruption, are you, the Municipal Shipping Commissioner, clean?

Being clean means dereliction of duty, being unclean means being complicit in corruption, or taking the lead in corruption...

Feng Jin had a mouthful of old blood stuck in his throat, and was about to take a few hard breaths when Liu Ke inside shouted: "They are not even clean..."
