34 Water Transport Division

The next day

Master Li's wish to stole half a day of leisure was broken by a rush knock on the door. He frowned and comforted the lazy little accountant. He got up and opened the door, but found that it was Wang Chao, who was panting and sweating on his head. When he saw himself, he shouted: "Master, it's not good. Our ship was detained by the Cao Transportation Department. Shenshi said a few more words to them and was detained. People said, "You want you to talk in person!"

Magistrate Li narrowed his eyes and suddenly felt angry. He just wanted to get a share of the pie in just a few days?

He then breathed a deep breath and said calmly: "Well, I understand. You go back and arrange other matters first. I will go to the Cao Transportation Department for a trip!"

After returning to the room, he thought about it and took Lao Zhang and two guards to set off. The little accountant was worried about following him. Li Zhixian smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm wearing an official robe. No matter how powerful they are, they don't dare to do anything to me. They just want to eat and get a card!"

The four of them came to the canal department and found that the canal in front of the door was full of sails. Because the river surface was flat, there were rows of boatmen on both sides of the river. In the autumn, the people were bare-chested and shouting horns to pull the fiber!

Few people are more bitter than those of them. There is no tiles on top and no standing cone on the bottom. They can only make a living by relying on all their strength. The reason why they don’t wear clothes is not that they are not afraid of the cold, but that they are afraid of wear and tear!

At the gate of the Cao Transport Department, several rows of people were queuing up to pay the money. When they saw Li Zhixian and his party, they quickly gave up their debut. They still understood the principle of protecting each other!

Unexpectedly, after Master Zhang handed over the sign, the stinger at the door neither welcomed the guests nor served tea. He waited lightly and left the person there!

After waiting, it was only two or three cups of tea. The people who were following behind didn't dare to say anything, but the look was wrong. The two young guards were so angry that they almost broke in!

"Don't be impatient, he, Lu Huai'en, is just an official position. He is a senior. He is giving me a warning. I won't be distracted by being angry!"

When Lao Zhang heard the magistrate's calm words, his manic mood was much more stable, but he was still a little worried: "What if they spoke big?"

"What should I do? Since I'm going to talk about it, I have to have room for bargaining, it's just a matter of talking more and less!"

Although Magistrate Li was calm and gentle, he was actually very anxious. In addition to phosphate ore and green alum stone, the goods shipped this time also had a large portion of salt and dried sea sausage!

Speaking of the sea intestines that were hard to find everywhere later, it was worthless at this time, but no one knew that it actually contained more than 90% of glutamic acid. After grinding it into powder, it was natural MSG. Otherwise, who would dare to sell a bowl of Qinglong Crossing the River for one tael of silver?

The most important thing is private salt! This thing is actually just that. It has been commonplace for you to sell me and I to sell me, but once you get it on the table, it will be illegal and beheaded!

I learned before coming that this time it was because the Cao Transport Department suddenly replaced people, which made the previous system invalid. It was too late to burn incense, or maybe it might be that people came here!

When the two were waiting quickly and impatiently, a minor official finally told him that Lord Lu was attracted to him. After passing the screen, they saw a dark-skinned but very young official. He was inconspicuous and had a very arrogant attitude. After seeing the person coming, his eyelids were raised: "Are you the magistrate of Semu, Li Jing and Li Anmin?"

Lord Li naturally couldn't answer, so Lao Zhang stepped forward and said, "Go back to Lord Lu, this is Lord Li of our county. My nephew is biased in his work. Please ask Lord Lu to give up his hands..."

"Have I asked you something? Besides, you don't even have an official service. Is there a place for you to speak here?"

Lao Zhang “…!”

I was so angry that I wanted to punch the black face twice and accompany her endless greetings from her mother!

But he could not scold or beat him, so he had to retreat with a purple face under Lord Li's soft comfort.

As soon as the door was closed, County Magistrate Li said, "There are only two of you here, let's talk about it, how can you release people?"

"What do I want? So what can I do? They are selling private salt, but they have to be beheaded according to the rules. With so many eyes, what can I do?"

Magistrate Li sighed and said, "After all, I have to be saved. Tell me about the conditions!"

"The conditions are very simple. I have half of the profits of perfume and soap. There is also the glass mirror. I give me twenty sides every month. I can't blame me. You said that your business is so big that the local area is not aware of it. If my aunt hadn't shown her in front of her, I wouldn't know about it. Of course, you can refuse, and I will just go by land in the future, and I will not ask any questions!"

Magistrate Li took a deep breath and said intimately that he would not be angry. I was not angry. You took the handle of this special grinding. He took the land route and measured the road. He was like a thief along the way, and he was half riding and half losing! If he hadn't taken into account his identity, he would have used a gun to drive the way.

Immediately replied, "This matter is quite big, and the business is not something that can be done by one family. Let me go back and discuss it and reply in two days!"

Lu Huai'en picked up the tea bowl, took the lid and fiddled with the foam. The clerk next to him raised his voice: "Send the guests..."

The Caoyun Department is dozens of miles away from the county town. It was too late to return to the city. Several people searched for an inn to stay. After the waiter brought the food and drinks, Master Zhang first stuffed a cup, and then slapped the cup and said, "Sir, give me some guards, I want him to look good tonight..."

Lord Li shouted: "Why can't you be so calm? Where did you go to cultivate yourself? If you use force for this little thing, how can you succeed in the future?"

Old Zhang woke up in a panic: "Sir, I'm in the face!"

Lord Li said slowly, "That's right. No matter what happens in the future, he will be pressed down on Mount Tai and his face will remain calm! He said that from this guy's words, he is quite afraid of his wife. If you look back and start with his wife!"

The wife's surname is Xu, her boudoir is Xu Wanqiu, and now she is called Lu Xu. Her family is quite wealthy in the countryside. What her father is most proud of is that she found a piece of uncensored jade in advance. Then, with no money to invest, she finally made the title and was incredible!

The daughter of the landlord family has been used to being wild since childhood, so she is naturally dressed in black skin. She doesn’t think much of being with Lu Jinshi. Others even said that the two were born with a pair of people and made a pair of people!

But when I was eating melons with a few wives of officials, I realized that I had been cheated!

I heard them brag about what fragrance they used on their bodies from time to time, and what kind of soap they used to take a bath last night, and then summarized the reason for their fair skin!

The landlord's family is not short of money, but these things can't be bought in the county town! Well, even my cousin, who has always been unrespected by me, also showed off her soap in front of her, which is infuriating!

Just as someone was sent to Fucheng to purchase, a large number of them were seized there. Mrs. Lu was so happy. It was mine, all of them were mine!

I took a shower five times that night, used three pieces of soap and half a bottle of perfume, which made Lord Lu soak and almost burst into tears!

For this reason, Mrs. Lu was still very unhappy: "What's wrong? Are you embarrassed to marry me? Do you want my five brothers to come over and talk to you about the past?"
