With the ability of his hands and eyes to reach the sky, Qi Xingyun frowned slightly and said: "Look into it, who told Han Feiyu that I was coming. between officials and businessmen is absolutely forbidden. Appointing one party is the parents of one party. If officials collude together, who

To protect the interests of merchants below the third level?"

"Yes." Wang Yun nodded.

Your Majesty's safety is more important than anything else. He left Cha Zi with his hidden guards and headed towards the Dukou Mansion.

Qin Nanshu, the prefect of Dukou, and Han Feiyu, had been waiting in front of the Dukou restaurant for a long time. There was a huge plaque, a continuous building, and a four-story wooden building.

luxury.

Qi Xingyun felt these two words as soon as he entered the door. The solid wood floor was so smooth that it could reflect the silhouette of people, and there were two clumps of coral more than one meter high standing on both sides of the door.

Tea sets, produced by Cizhou kiln and Jun kiln, are like works of art when placed here!

What Qi Xingyun frequently noticed was the tea table made of Yaozhou kiln porcelain, with its sharp and extremely elegant depiction, a flowing rhythmic beauty surging between the hot tea, and a layer of fluorescent light shining on the glaze.

Low-key luxury with connotation.

"See your majesty, your majesty is safe and peaceful." Qin Nanshu, the magistrate of the ferry, led many first-class merchants in the store to kneel on the ground and shouted loudly.

Soon, Qin Nanshu, the governor of the ferry, noticed something was wrong.

His Majesty did not ask them to get up, so he asked them to kneel on the ground.

Qin Nanshu led a group of prefect's clerks and merchants to visit Qi Xingyun, but Qi Xingyun sipped hot tea and did not let them stand.

Qin Nanshu and others did not dare to raise their heads and lay on the ground sweating profusely. They did not know what had happened, but the emperor's face did not look very good when he entered the room.

And now he doesn't even have a straight body, so something might have happened.

While Qi Xingyun drank a cup of tea, Wang Yun finished the matter and returned to Shangshan Tower.

"Your Majesty has found out, and the porter of the Ferry Prefecture told him that seven days ago, His Majesty sent an order to the ferry to check the progress of the ferry dock. Qin Nanshu, the Ferry Prefecture, sent the concierge to the Han family in Didian to tell the Han family about your Majesty's arrival.

"Wang Yun lowered his head and whispered in Qi Xingyun's ear.

"One more thing, Your Majesty, it seems that the rumors about Qin Nanshu at the ferry are not very good, and there are many biases in his actions. When the old minister came in, he received a letter from the captain, and it was all about Qin Nanshu.

." Wang Yun said and handed over a notebook.

Qi Xingyun opened the letter and frowned frequently. Qin Nanshu had a lot of bad habits as a Qi official. He didn't commit any serious crimes, nor was he involved in any major right or wrong. He just did things that made the people feel a little chilled.

Qi Xingyun looked at Qin Nanshu who was kneeling on the ground and asked: "Qin Nanshu, you are Han Dong's classmate. I remember that your position as the ferry magistrate originally belonged to Han Dong, but he went to Liaodong, and this position is his.

I recommended you, right?"

"Your Majesty clearly knows that I entered the Imperial College in the same year as Academician Han, and entered the Imperial College as a tribute scholar." Qin Nanshu wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied.

"Han Dong has suffered a lot. I saw him a few days ago and he has lost a lot of weight. The place where he lives is windy and sandy, and the white-haired wind in winter makes people's bones ache. When it snows,

, do you know how thick the snow is? With a foot deep snow, you can't even go out, let alone the walkway." Qi Xingyun sipped a cup of tea and looked at Qin Nan's book.

Qin Nanshu's forehead was sweating more and more. The more Han Dong suffered, the more comfortable he became as the ferry magistrate, and the more useless he seemed.

Qi Xingyun looked at the sweat on Qin Nanshu's forehead, shook his head and said, "Han Dong gave you the position of Dukou magistrate, did you do it well? I have seen the development of Dukou this year, and you also fell into the Imperial Academy.

His reputation is mixed up with this group of businessmen, and the mess is too deep."

Qin Nanshu put his forehead on the ground and said: "My lord, you are responsible for this. The ferry is a port, and there are many merchants coming and going. There are many contacts with merchants and merchants. I will definitely pay attention to it in the future."

"If it is strange that I prefer to criticize first-class merchants, I will admit it. In daily life, I do favor first-class merchants in some policies, which has caused a lot of rumors. However, I think that if someone else comes here, he will

That’s all it can do.”

oh?

When Han Dong was a Grand Scholar, what Qi Xingyun admired the most was Han Dong's vigor, his courage to speak out, his courage to speak out, and his courage to speak up. He rushed directly to the main hall and told himself that he wanted to revive the Qi Dynasty.

The scholar was angry and scolded Fang Qiu.

Now Qin Nan's book is a bit like Han Dong's.

At least I didn't see the emperor, so I was so frightened that I couldn't even utter a retort.

"Tell me, why do you prefer first-class merchants?" Qi Xingyun asked, he wanted to give Qin Nanshu a chance to speak.

Qin Nanshu raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, when I came to the ferry, it was a wasteland with nothing. It was just a small fishing village with less than three thousand people. Now it is four to five million people with four berths.

, a large port with seventeen berths under construction.”

This is an extremely proud achievement. Qi Xingyun is very sure that Qin Nanshu's political achievements are very beautiful.

"At the beginning, it was really difficult. No merchants were willing to come here in this small fishing village. I talked about it in Jiangnan Di shop and even moved out. His Majesty took this matter seriously and came to persuade merchants to come to Fukou to establish a business.

Retail shop owners, and finally managed to persuade a few first-class merchants to come to the ferry to give it a try." Qin Nanshu's expression was full of memories.

In Daqi, merchants are also divided into several levels. Generally, those who reach the first level are extremely wealthy and big businessmen.

Qin Nanshu raised his head and said: "This is the reason why I favored big merchants when I first built my mansion in Dukou."

"It's reasonable and well-founded." Qi Xingyun nodded. Qi Xingyun fully agreed with Qin Nan's reason.

It's easy to add icing on the cake, but it's difficult to provide help when it's time.

The ferry was just a fishing village at that time, but now it has become a prosperous port.

Qi Xingyun took a sip of tea and asked, "What about now?"

Qin Nanshu said helplessly: "There is a reason why many large-scale transactions are now favored by first-class merchants. It is because they can afford the risk. For merchants below third-class, if something happens to the sailboat at sea, their family will be destroyed."

Death. Please also ask the officials to take warning."

First-class merchants are indeed more risk-resistant. Ordinary merchants who get involved in large-scale overseas transactions can easily destroy their families and people. Qi Xingyun looked at Zha Zi again.

In Qi Xingyun's view, Qin Nanshu was indeed involved too deeply with first-class merchants, but most of the content involved involved high-profit, high-return, and high-risk offshore transactions.

For example, if you go to Sunrise Country to trade, you can make more than ten times the profit in one trip, but it may also capsize and leave you with nothing.

Qi Xingyun asked Eunuch Wang Yun to get the customs declaration form and found that the probability of an accident to a large ship with thousands of materials coming in and out was as high as 30%.

Qi Xingyun studied for a long time before saying with a hint of doubt: "In other words, the bigger the ship, the smaller the risk? I have seen that ships with a thousand materials are most likely to have accidents."

Qin Nanshu nodded: "In terms of sea trade, it is true that the bigger the ship, the less likely it is to sink. Even if it leaks, it can be sealed up. It can also be sailed to the Sunrise Country, etc., and repairs will be carried out on the shore."
