Chapter 83 Smuggling

Ludong County river inspection, daily inspection of rivers and lakes, in addition to clearing various hidden dangers such as monster disasters and bandits, there is another important task, which is inspection and smuggling.

The nineteen states of the Immortal Dynasty in the Great Jin Dynasty were vast, and each state had its own abundant resources and its own scarce resources.

For example, Yangzhou is a hometown of fishing rice and close to the East China Sea, which produces spiritual rice, spiritual salt, and various rare treasure resources in the sea.

But relatively speaking, Yangzhou is in short supply of various spiritual ore resources. The "Xuanling Iron Ore" in Fuyu Mountain is already an extremely important spiritual ore resource.

On the other hand, there is a different situation in the northwest of the Great Jin Xianchao and other places that go deep into the inland areas.

There are rich spiritual ore resources there, but there is shortage of spiritual rice, spiritual salt and other materials. Various rare resources in the sea are even more popular and intimate.

In this case, as long as the spiritual rice, spiritual salt, and rare treasures produced in Yangzhou are transported to the northwest and other places, the price will naturally increase by dozens of times, or even dozens of times; then the various spiritual ores in the northwest are transported back to Yangzhou, and you can make a lot of money.

Therefore, the Immortal Dynasty of the Great Jin Dynasty has always imposed heavy taxes on this.

Especially some resources such as spiritual salt and spiritual iron not only have heavy taxes, but also limit resources.

In this way, driven by huge interests, many smuggling activities inevitably arise.

The "Crown Snake" monster was previously the "Shuijun" of Changbu River, which controlled all the aquatic races in the river, but saw many smuggling activities in the Changbu River.

Those smuggling caravans often offer some elixirs, elixirs and other supplies to the "Crown Snake" Shuijun when passing by Changbu River, which is considered to be passing money.

The 'Crown Snake' usually turns a blind eye to this.

Liang Zhaohuang got information about these smuggling operations from the "Crown Snake".

It made him feel like he had a broad vision.

"I didn't expect that under the River Inspection Department controlled by the Lu family, there were so many smuggling operations here in Changbu River!"

"Well! No!" Liang Zhaohuang suddenly felt aroused in his heart, "The Lu family has been in charge of the river inspection in Ludong County for hundreds of years. Unless they are all fools and waste, it is impossible for them to not be aware of these smuggling at all."

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

"There is only one possibility for this situation!"

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

"It is more likely that there is a share of the Lu family among these smuggling operations!"

Liang Zhaohuang's thoughts were heard in his mind, and even thought of a deeper level.

"Xie Wenyun County Magistrate has arrived and has issued a position and appointed him. There is no big deal for the other county tyrants. Only the Lu family's position as "river inspection" was taken, and he was allowed to serve as the river inspection."

“Is this related to these smuggling?”

"He was appointed as a river inspector in Ludong County. Should he be asked to crack down on these smuggling operations?"

Liang Zhaohuang was not sure about the game above and the secret pusher. He and the Liang family knew too little information.

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

Liang Zhaohuang treated the Lu family with "pride first and then soldiers", but the Lu family plotted against him step by step, and there was no "ritual" at all, only "army".

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

Through the memory of the "Crown Snake", Liang Zhaohuang learned that the next smuggling operation was three months later.

He decided to check the situation at that time.

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

After it recovered from its injuries, Liang Zhaohuang was still very interested in the position of "Shuijun" in Changbu River.

After solving the problem of monsters entrenched in the river, Liang Zhaohuang led his second sister and others to drive the boats of the River Inspection Department to sail on the Changbu River, and walked all the rivers and lakes under the Ludong County River Inspection Department.

First, we should learn about the territory where he was responsible for his future work; second, we should also announce his arrival to many monks active on the Changbu River and on both sides of the river. From then on, the river and lakes in Ludong County were under his control.

In addition, Liang Zhaohuang has another hidden purpose.

From the information given by the "Crown Snake", he learned about several commonly used smuggling transaction locations. Liang Zhaohuang was preparing to take this opportunity to visit these places and learn about the surrounding situation first.

Let's prepare for the action in three months.

The entire territory of Ludong County is two or three thousand miles in radius, and the Changbu River stretches for more than one thousand miles. In addition, some lakes, deep pools, Liang Zhaohuang and others patrolled along the route and needed to understand the hydrological conditions, surrounding terrain, humanistic conditions and other information, and the speed of progress was quite limited.

These information should have been given to him by the previous river inspection.

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

Now Liang Zhaohuang can only conduct on-site inspections and learn about this information by himself.

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

Moreover, after such detailed observation and inspection, Liang Zhaohuang also successfully understood the situation of several smuggling trading points, and had some deductions and preparations in his mind.

More than ten days later, Liang Zhaohuang ended the first inspection and took his second sister Liang Zhaoyu and others to return to Ludong County by boat.

The Liang family is still continuing to build the family base. Although in addition to the core area, all kinds of ordinary buildings can only be built in other areas for the time being, there must be plans and arrangements such as formations, feng shui, terrain, etc.

These are all crucial arrangements for the Liang family, but they are indispensable or lacking.

After returning to the family, Liang Zhaohuang originally planned to go into seclusion and practice directly, preparing for the "smuggling" in more than two months.

But before the retreat began, it was interrupted.

The chief clerk of Ludong County, Ye Junzhi, sent a message to their Liang family to send people to the county government office to divide the spiritual fields and shops.

The Liang family's advancement to the ninth-rank county tycoon is not only a change in status, but also a huge change in family interests.

The wealthy families in Jiuting County enjoy a certain proportion of spiritual fields in Ludong County, as well as shops in various markets.

The Lin family of the "Heijing" was reduced from the seventh-grade county to the eighth-grade county. The large amount of spiritual fields in Ludong County that originally occupied were returned a lot, and some of the occupied shops were also returned; in addition, the Sun family, which had previously occupied the spiritual fields and shops, were all empty at this time.

The chief clerk of Ludong County, Ye Junzhi, has also completed the statistics of these spiritual fields and shops, and has allocated them according to the level of the family families in the county today.

The Shi family was promoted from Jiuting County to Bali County, and the interests of the family's spiritual fields, shops and other interests will naturally increase.
