"I will deal with it when I get back. The strategy of destroying the country cannot be advocated." Su Yi actually wanted power. He wanted to destroy the aristocratic families.
Someone from the aristocratic families told him that he could not do anything and had to wait for the Emperor's orders.
How could someone who could sit in the position of Prime Minister ask such a stupid question?
He believed that the Emperor and everyone else understood what he meant and that it had nothing to do with him.
"Here, here, look over here. We are from Quanzhou and Jinjiang. Take a look. Here, here …"
Many people were shouting from the other side of the river. They seemed very anxious.
"Let's go over. Wang Qing's family has not arrived yet. Guo Qing's family should wait." Li Longji heard the noise and took a look through his binoculars.
This was the place where Wang Wei's family lived.
Closer was Guo Ziyi's family. Guo Ziyi's family had seen Li Longji and Li Yi before and had arranged a courtyard to receive them.
The steam engine ship approached but did not dock. It stopped at a place where the crossbow could not reach.
A small boat came over from the shore. There were three people, a boatman, a man in a military officer's uniform and a page boy.
The people on the boat were searched and then hung up in a cage. There was only one person in the military officer's uniform.
"Zhao Dong pays his respects to the Emperor. Great news." The person kneeled on the ground. He was unwilling to stand and bow.
Li Longji did not speak. He should have cooperated and asked where the good news came from. He did not speak and just watched.
Zhao Dong waited for a while before saying, "Congratulations to the Emperor. In Quanzhou, a citizen of Jinjiang has returned from the sea and voluntarily paid 800 taels of tax.
It is only a boat and yet the tax is so high. I hope that the Emperor will show mercy and encourage overseas trade in Quanzhou and Jinjiang to increase the wealth of the country. "
"Oh?" Li Longji was moved. There was actually someone who went out to earn money and voluntarily paid the tax?
Gao Lishi, who was beside him, frowned. He turned around and took a teacup from the tray of a palace maid. He opened the lid and put it aside. Then, he carried the tray over and placed it in front of Li Longji.
Li Longji looked at it and nodded to Zhao Dong, "Good. Zhao Dong, go wash up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhao Dong was overjoyed. He got up and was led by a palace maid to bathe and change his clothes.
"Gao Lishi." Li Longji looked at Gao Lishi.
"I have already received news from the local newspaper department that Zhang Ruibo, a descendant of the Zhang family in Jinjiang, Quanzhou, took the initiative to pay 2,220 yuan in taxes, saying that he saw Li Dongzhu …"
Gao Lishi told Zhang Ruibo all the information he had obtained, including how Zhang Ruibo met Li Yi and what Li Yi had done.
After that, how Zhang Ruibo came back, how much money he took out to go to the courier station, and how he went to the place where the newspaper was distributed.
Li Longji still nodded and smiled. "Yuanzhi, the money … is a little short."
"Your Majesty, I understand." Yao Chong stood out, his eyes shining. He had finally caught another one.
Other people paid over two thousand taels in taxes, but in the hands of you, the Provincial Governor, it became eight hundred taels. You actually dare to come to the capital to claim credit? You're too awesome!
How could a Provincial Governor be so foolish?
"Don't wrong a good person, and don't let a bad person go. Lishi, if you lack manpower, transfer it from other places and tell me directly. "
Li Longji stood up and left after he finished speaking. It was time to eat, and today they were eating dumplings for lunch.
He took the opportunity to give Gao Lishi a warning. How could he not take the initiative to report such an important matter? The local tax payment was different from usual.
There was a lot of information in the newspaper. Could it be that he couldn't even distinguish between important and urgent matters?
Gao Lishi came over to support Li Longji. "I was waiting for the money to arrive. When Your Majesty asks, I will tell you. I have already sent people to understand the situation."
Gao Lishi felt wronged. How could he have known that someone would dare to falsify this matter?
When he received the news, he sent people to investigate. The more complete the investigation, the better.
In the end, Provincial Governor Zhao Dong came first and asked for eight hundred taels.
Could it be that the remaining 1,400 taels were exchanged for copper coins for Zhao Dong to swallow?
"This shows that the courier station is still under the influence of the local government and is not independent enough. It can't be compared to the newspaper's printing station. "
Li Longji accepted Gao Lishi's explanation. From his analysis, he could tell that the courier station was not safe enough.
It was a good strategy for the courier station to recruit people and be familiar with the local situation.
However, there was an uncontrollable problem. The courier station's constable and the others could not break free from the local government's control.
On the other hand, the printing station's relatives were not in the area. When they were being trained, the Li Family Zhuangzi's men were in charge.
Compared to the local government, Li Dongzhu was the most powerful.
'My printing station is directly under His Majesty's jurisdiction. Li Dongzhu is protecting it. You, Provincial Governor, are nothing!'
'What? You killed everyone in my printing station? Come, try me! ' If Li Dongzhu investigates, His Majesty will wipe out nine generations of your family.
"Your Majesty, it's time for Li Dongzhu to return." Gao Lishi did not add fuel to the fire. It was meaningless.
The other party's fate had been decided. He had to make Li Longji happy.
…
"We'll return to Lu Zhou from here and settle the matter of the Luohan Fruit. This medicinal herb is quite useful. Not only can it be used to treat illnesses, but it can also be used as an ingredient in snacks."
The yacht was on its way back. Li Yi wanted to visit Lu Zhou.
Previously, they had agreed to buy a variety of Luohan Fruit.
To a certain extent, Luohan Fruit was similar to licorice. This was especially true for the cold Mala Shabu skewers.
Shabu skewers were cold. If one dipped the skewers in other ingredients, there would be Luohan Fruit in them. Otherwise, one would get heaty and have diarrhea.
In China, whether it was hot Mala Shabu skewers or cold Mala Shabu skewers, they were all traditional Chinese medicine dishes.
It was guaranteed to satisfy one's craving and there were no side effects.
In the process of development, there were people who cut corners. Luohan Fruit was expensive, and other traditional Chinese medicine was not cheap either.
The spicy soup that was boiled with traditional Chinese medicine had become a mixture of chili oil, sesame paste, sugar, vinegar, and salt.
The authentic soup was boiled with traditional Chinese medicine. Now, it was boiled with water and added a mess of other ingredients. Yet, they still claimed to be authentic.
The Crossing Bridge Rice Noodles were not boiled with chicken soup. They were boiled together and added with watercress.
The most disgusting thing was that there was a poster of the Crossing Bridge Rice Noodles that took up half of the wall. The poster said it was chicken soup.
Li Yi had seen it before. When he was eating, he muttered, "It's not authentic at all."
In the end, the waiter heard him and directly retorted, "You want to eat authentic for more than ten yuan? Why don't you try it for a hundred yuan? "
Li Yi took out a hundred yuan and let me try it.
The waiter said again, "We are like this. Didn't you know when you came in? Do you think you are rich? Why are you pretending? "
Li Yi was speechless at that time.
He felt that he had returned to the era of the supply and demand cooperative. The staff were so arrogant and unreasonable.
He did not quarrel with the waiter because it was meaningless. He quickly ate and continued to make money after he was full.
If he quarreled with such a waiter for a while, the money he earned would be the waiter's salary for a month.
The next time he went to eat opposite, a bowl of rice noodles would cost 66 yuan. The waiter would be more enthusiastic.
The waiter here was right. You could enjoy the service as much as you spent, but you could not spend more money. We could not provide it! Don't look at me and say that when I am squeezing you.
"I thought of another thing. The system must be strictly limited," Li Yi said to Princess Yongmu after his thoughts diverged again.
