Tang Dynasty good brother

Chapter 31
After a while, the maid who accompanied the wine came, danced a few dances to cheer up the fun, and then withdrew. She didn't eat at the same table, and nothing unsightly and absurd happened. Although Fatty Wei had some ideas, he was caught County magistrate Du ruthlessly refused.

Qin Hao was also a little strange, could it be said that County Magistrate Du really has a moral obsession and is not in the mood to play because of the catastrophe?
Qin Hao briefly mentioned the disaster relief performance to the boss. The boss seemed to be quite interested, but it is not appropriate to say this today. He just wrote down this matter and will discuss it in detail later.

Today, Qin Hao intends to talk about the construction of the southern city wall.

"Nephew, the county has basically agreed to the contracting of the wharf after discussion. Of course, you and Xu Jie must also ensure the construction of the southern city wall. See what else we can help? As long as it is for the victims, The county government will do everything in its power."

This is a beautiful statement, and it is also for those wealthy businessmen. The county government has tried its best, and you will naturally bleed a little.

At the same time, Qin Hao couldn't help but secretly startled. He didn't need to report to Chang'an for contracting the Luoyang Wharf?Can the county government decide?
He didn't know that Wei Zheng was sitting at the same table, and he was acting as a disaster relief on behalf of the heavens. He had great power, so there was nothing wrong with beheading first and playing later.

The other wealthy businessmen also tacitly agreed with each other that after a famine, they always want to spend their money to avoid disasters. It is actually easier to manage than in previous years when the victims of the disaster are in control.

Of course, there are still discordant voices, such as Fatty Wei.

"What? Uncle, are you kidding me, just this stinking beggar, repairing the southern city wall? Hahahahahaha, hahahahaha, it's so funny, hahahaha, repairing the southern city wall."

After laughing for a long time, he realized that he was the only one laughing at the table. He couldn't help but feel quite embarrassed. He really couldn't understand why everyone gave this disaster victim so much face?
But Qin Hao asked with a smile: "I wonder if Mr. Wei has business in Luoyang?"

"Hmph! I'm telling you, don't be scared. Listen carefully. Every year, more than 4000 catties of white porcelain are passed from my master. Even the white porcelain used in the palace is specially offered by our Wei family. Do you know how much it is?" [-] guan!"

Fatty Wei was complacent, looking forward to how Qin Hao would kneel down and hug his thigh after being stunned, but who knew that Qin Hao didn't care about him at all, the expression on his face didn't change at all, he was still smiling faintly.

Sixty thousand guan, why didn't he respond at all?

But Qin Hao said lightly: "Well, it's good, but from today on, you won't be able to get a piece of white porcelain."

"What?"

Fatty Wei was stunned, and reflexively said: "Cut, why, who the hell are you?"

Qin Hao didn't seem to look at him, cupped his fists and cupped his hands, and greeted the rich merchants in this big house, "The canals and water transportation are still too crowded, especially in disaster years, everything is mainly food, and the rest, I'm afraid It’s inevitable that there will be a reduction, and I hope that everyone will cooperate in the future, everything will follow the rules, there should be queues, and the hard work of loading and unloading, let us beggars, how about it?”

Everyone is a fine person, hearing the sound of the piano and knowing the elegance, they naturally stood up and bowed their hands in salute, saying nice things in their mouths in retaliation, and at the same time secretly thinking in their hearts.

Fatty Wei was stunned for a long time, then kicked his own dining table away, stood up angrily, but was knocked down by the third master without any suspense.

At this time, he didn't care much, and cursed: "You...you can't do this, water transport is a national priority, Mr. Du just entrusted the wharf to you to manage, as long as I pay the merchant tax for merchant ships, you have no right to stop my ship."

Qin Hao said again and again: "Oh, Mr. Wei, what are you talking about? The conscience of heaven and earth, merchant ships have always been managed by river yamen, whether they can dock or not, and how much commercial tax they pay are all matters of the imperial court. , We, the disaster victims, just help you unload your cargo, load your ship, and earn some coolie money."

Fatty Wei's eyes spit fire. If he hadn't been controlled by the third master, he would have rushed up and tore Qin Hao apart. Although he is a plump boy, he is not a fool. Qin Hao's words are so clear, there is no way he could have listened to him. don't know.

Luo-yang is a crucial point for connecting the canals from north to south. The Grand Canal stops when it reaches Luo-yang. The forbidden water in Luoyang seems to be connected to the Grand Canal, but it is actually two rivers, and its transport capacity is far from comparable to that of the Grand Canal. Therefore, after arriving in Luoyang, any goods must go ashore for a walk before they can be sent to Chang'an.

Qin Hao is only in charge of the wharf. He really has no right to decide which boats can go ashore and which ones cannot. The system of the Tang Dynasty pays tolls according to the size of the boat. As long as the tax is paid, people can go ashore. The benefits of taxes and fees cannot fall into the private hands of Qin Hao, but the problem is, Qin Hao can decide to queue up!

Even 1000 years later, cargo ships would have to line up to unload after entering the port, let alone 1000 years ago?It is normal for a ship to wait for unloading for a month or two, but if Qin Hao has the final say on the pier, he can play countless tricks just by who unloads first and who unloads later.

If no one unloads the ship after it arrives. . . . .

Qin Hao smiled and said: "Usually, the grain ships and cargo ships of this Luoyang Water Transport are open at fifty-fifty, but now the catastrophe has turned into eight goods and two goods. Usually, it takes three days to wait for the ship, and it may have to wait for ten. It's a genius, all shopkeepers can't blame the boy."

Everyone said: "Where is it, natural disasters are like this, we understand, we understand."

The clever eyes roughly understood what Qin Hao was planning, and asked tentatively: "This... If someone jumps in line..."

Qin Hao immediately said seriously: "What are you talking about? How can there be such a bad thing as jumping in the queue at the pier I manage? But you also know that we are all victims of disasters. Sometimes the people here unload the food for the good people who have donated food first." I don’t care about things like that, do I?”

Hey, this is the first time I've seen someone so upright using power for personal gain, awesome!
"I, Chengnan Silk Zhuang Huangsan, donated [-] shi to the brothers of the victims of Xiaomi. Natural disasters are merciless and people are merciful. Little things, the brothers of the victims don't have to worry about them at all."

"Okay, we stinky beggars are not people who don't know how to repay you. When the merchant ship of shopkeeper Huang arrives, we disaster victims brothers will unload you early... two ships."

Well, now the price is clearly marked, [-] shi for a boatload of grain.

Wei Zheng heard that his beard was almost pulled off by him, so how can this kind of operation be possible?Let's talk about this in front of me, the imperial envoy, okay?
