Chapter 988
"Xiaomin also knows that the northern affairs are urgent, and he dare not neglect the urgent news when he returns home. After collecting the family's resources and purchasing the local products, he can collect 30 dendrobium of grain, which is transported to the north in a starry night, but when he arrives in Hefei, But it was blocked by the Lujiang County Government..."

In the meeting hall of the Governor's Mansion, apart from Shen Zhezi and other officials, there was another middle-aged man in the table, with cold sweat looming on his forehead, and said loudly with his head bowed.This person's name is Luo Zhen, a person from Yuzhang, and the owner of this batch of lost supplies.

Facing the governor and a group of senior Huainan officials, Luo Zhen's nervousness can be imagined.The goods were detained in Hefei, and he himself rushed to Huainan at night, just to ask the Governor's Mansion for help, but he didn't expect that he would directly alarm Duke Liang, so he was also terrified right now.

After listening to Luo Zhen's narration, Shen Zhezi's expression was slightly displeased, and he just looked down at the books placed on the desk. Although he didn't speak, there was a frightening pressure building up in the hall.

"The goods from all parties go through the state and the county, and there are the customs of the Governor's Mansion along the way, and the various places will cooperate conveniently. But Luo Jun has made a mistake here. If there is any hidden secret, please let Luo Jun know immediately. If it is true If there is concealment, until the truth comes out, even if the governor is willing to treat everyone with kindness, the law may not be lenient!"

Yu Tiao spoke in the middle of the table, with a hint of threat already in his tone.

Hearing this, the sweat stains on Luo Zhen's forehead became more obvious, he hurriedly avoided the table, and said with a deep bow: "I really don't know what happened. It's just, it's just that when Wang Shijun was in Jiangzhou in the past, he had a little disagreement with the people... This is just a guess, but Wang Shijun is also a state official, so how could he... ..."

"Okay, let's stop here. Please, Mr. Luo, file with the official for a while, and then let us know how to deal with it later."

Hearing this, Yu Tiao took another look at Shen Zhezi's expression, then interrupted Luo Zhen's words with a wave of his hand, and opened his mouth to see off the guest.

After Na Luozhen left, there was still silence in the hall, and everyone looked at Shen Zhezi to hear his opinion on the matter.

Shen Zhezi had already looked through the books related to this matter.On the surface, the matter is quite simple, that is, the Luozhen customs regulations did not match, and it was detained after being transported to Hefei.The deeper reason, as Luo Zhen said, should be that the prefect of Lujiang, Wang Jianji, had a grudge with the Yuzhang Luo family, so he took advantage of the problem to detain his family's property.

But if it goes deeper, is Luo Zhen deliberately selling a loophole to use the power of the governor's mansion to attack family enemies, or is it Wang Yanqi who uses this to test and want to block the Huainan logistics channel? And know.

There is nothing to say about this Luo family in Yuzhang. It is nothing more than a powerful family in Jiangzhou. The family business is not small, and most of the clan's children hold positions at the local county level in Jiangzhou. It is a typical family of a powerful family.

As for the reason for the feud between his family and Wang Jianji, it is quite simple. In the early years, Wang Jianqi was stationed in Jiangzhou, and because of the lack of food for his trilogy, he chose this Luo family in Yuzhang to recruit from the township clan.

This is also a model for the head of the army to support the army. Some people and households with sufficient food and land may have stable output, but if they are frequently transferred and cannot operate a place stably, they can only rely on the strength of the army to support the troops. Qu private army.

But I don't know whether it was Wang Jianji who opened his mouth loudly and asked for too high a price, or whether the Luo family was too lazy to deal with Wang Jianji, a strong dragon in transit, because he relied on his wealth in his hometown. In short, this matter failed.As a result, the two parties had a grudge, and Wang Jianqi used his position to cause a lot of trouble for the Luo family, and this Luo family also united with some village clans to repel Wang Jianji, and in the end, Wang Jianqi was unable to catch up and was transferred from Jiangzhou.

If the Luo family is entrenched in the local area, there is no need to fear Wang Jianqi who has been driven out of Jiangzhou, but he can't help but go north to do business and invest.At present, if Jiangzhou people want to reach Huainan, the most important channel is to enter the Yangtze River east to Ruxukou and then go north to Huainan via Chaohu and Feishui.

And Hefei, the most important node on this road, is currently being guarded by Wang Jianqi.The so-called enemies are extremely jealous when meeting each other. Wang Qianqi was expelled from Jiangzhou before and left in a state of disgrace. Now that he has the opportunity and power to take revenge, he naturally has no reason to let Luo Shi go.So this is not the first time that Roche's goods have been detained in Hefei.

The importance of Huainan mobilizing such a large-scale cargo this time is self-evident.Therefore, the counties and counties along the way are well managed, and such mistakes will not happen in ordinary times, and Luo Shi should also understand this.

However, he still made a mistake in such a trivial matter, which gave Wang Qianqi a chance to make use of the problem.Perhaps he wanted to borrow the power of the Dudu Mansion to directly overthrow the old enemy Wang Yanqi.

Shen Zhezi naturally knew how bold and reckless these township tycoons were. Although the Governor's Mansion is now so powerful that even Taichung is afraid of three points, these township clans also have the courage to take advantage of the situation.

Although Luo Shi is suspected of taking advantage of the situation, it does not mean that Wang Qianqi is completely suspicious.

Wang Qianqi can also be said to be a representative of bad luck.In his early years, he can be said to be one of the few military leaders in Jiangbei. His own military strength is not weak, and he has a good relationship with Jiangdong. He has served under Zu Ti, Wang Dun, Tao Kan, Wen Qiao, and Yu Yi.Every chief official can be said to be a man of the day, but Wang Qianqi has always been sluggish and unable to make great progress.

Take the last few years as an example, after the Su Jun Rebellion, Yu Yi came out of the capital to take the post of Liyang, and Wang Jianqi was an important general under his command.Later, when Shen Zhezi went north to manage Liang County, his people were still quite dissatisfied with it, so they were not used by Shen Zhezi.

Then Yu Yi went west to take charge of Fenshan. He probably wanted to take over Liyang, the door of the Western Mansion, but did not follow him. However, Liyang was eventually taken over by Yu Yi.Later, there was another opportunity that King Qiao went north to Nanyang, giving up the important land of Jiangxia.

But at this time, Tao Zhen, the nephew of Tao Kan, who was originally the captain of Nanman, died of illness. Yu Yi took over the Tao's men and horses in the town of Jingzhou, and gave Jiang Xia to him in order to stabilize the hearts of the old Tao's people.

Later, Jingzhou mainly attacked Hanzhong, and Huan Xuan, who was originally about the same seniority as Wang Jianqi, also had to take charge of Xiangyang and held a lot of power. Wang Jianqi was still an unembarrassed Lujiang prefect and took over the position vacated by Mao Bao.Although Hefei is also within its garrison range, the Jiangbei defense line has been pushed all the way to the north of the Huai River, and now it goes directly to the Yellow River.

Therefore, Wang Jianqi is one step behind, step by step behind, from being reduced to a handful of military leaders in Jiangbei to an inconspicuous idle prefect in the inner county, he has completely faded out of the circle of influence in the important towns in Jiangbei, even this idle prefect The position has become precarious.

Therefore, the uncertainties this time are due to Wang Jianqi's unwillingness to be lonely, and he wants to use his remaining energy in his position to show Taichung that he can exert a slight restraint on Huainan.

Of course, it's also possible that it's neither.This accident was just a pure accident and coincidence, and it happened to be at the critical moment when Huainan was seeking stability.

But even so, Shen Zhezi couldn't think so.

If he completely shields Luo Shi and suppresses Wang Jianqi, it is not guaranteed that other clan sects who do not have such thoughts will also take advantage of this to pretend to be powerful, so that the entanglement will be great. If such incidents happen frequently, Taichung will also be able to intervene The handle of this matter.

As for Wang Jianqi, even if he didn't have this kind of thinking, those Taichung assistants are trying to intervene in Huainan and suppress Huainan all the time.Now that Wang Jianqi has shown his ability in this area, the Taifu don't mind setting Wang Jianqi up as an example.

Therefore, after pondering for a while, Shen Zhezi looked at Ji You again and said, "For this matter, Lao Xuexue has to go to work again. First of all, we must ensure that the grain and goods arrive in Huainan as soon as possible. As for Wang Jianqi, if he has a good attitude If he is willing to cooperate, then [-]% of the tax reduction and exemption will be regarded as a small commandment, and the full amount will be subsidized in private. If he resists and obstructs, then there is nothing to say, and he will directly take him down in the county. Ming canonical punishment!"

Ji You nodded after hearing the words, and then asked for instructions: "Then how many troops should we bring on this trip? I really don't have the talent to serve in the army, so I need to ask the governor to send another general to cooperate with me."

"It's just a king's failure, and there is no need to send troops. You can go straight for literature, and tell him in person. If he really refuses, then I will go down to Hefei to see him later!"

After Shen Zhezi heard the words, he said with a smile, if Wang Qianqi had no intention of disobeying Huainan, it would be easy to talk about it, but if he really planned to pull the tiger's skin in Taichung, then if he really directly angered himself and turned his troops inward to Hefei, even if he had three lives, it would not be enough If he died, Taicheng would not dare to protect him at all.

This was the case at Wang Jianqi's place, and then Shen Zhezi looked at Yu Tiao and said, "Later, Sima returned to the Dingcang to count Luo's goods and assets, and all of them were frozen and forbidden to be stored. At the same time, business travelers are summoned to check the amount of the customs regulations. If there is a difference with the real thing, make up within a time limit. If you fail to do so within the time limit, you will be fined twice."

There are taxes and fees for goods transiting the border, which is also an important income for local governments. If there is no strong relationship, the goods dealer may be taxed and bankrupt halfway.

For the goods involved in Dingcang, Dingcang directly negotiates with local governments to determine the amount of taxes and fees along the way, so as long as the goods are transported through Dingcang's channel, the tax and fee alone only need to be paid once at the Dudu Mansion.The Governor's Mansion then grants the merchants a customs ticket, and with the customs ticket in hand, they can travel without hindrance, and there is no need to pay fees along the way.

Therefore, many merchants also take advantage of this to make profits, and often privately transport goods that do not match the amount or type of customs regulations.This point has been repeatedly prohibited. Although there are no customs regulations, it is difficult for goods to enter the Huainan Commercial Market, but it is also difficult to supervise if merchants distribute along the way and then purchase along the way.Once the local government finds that the customs regulations do not match the goods, they also have the right to punish them. It is not easy for the Dudu government to interfere.

Therefore, Shen Zhezi also planned to beat this Luo family a little to deter the rest, so that those merchants would not use the Dudu Mansion as a sharp edge against the local government because of Huainan's urgency.As for how to deal with it in the end, it depends on what happens to Wang Qianji.

"People are unpredictable, and personnel affairs are difficult!"

Shen Zhezi sighed, in life, the bold and powerful seek the country, and the timid and weak seek selfishness, it is not clear which is right and which is wrong.Whenever he encounters this kind of confusion between the two sides, he feels that he is still not high in power after all.If the power is in hand, even if people's hearts are still unpredictable, they can be slightly restrained through the system.
