Survival countdown

Chapter 64

Wei Bo, dressed as a Jianghu man, stepped out of the rain curtain, put his long sword on the round table in the flower hall, took off his coir raincoat and bamboo hat, took the brown sugar ginger water from Zhao Baiyu, and drank it in one gulp regardless of the scalding temperature.

"A lot of goods are piled up at the wharf, and Hongzhou Ferry has not seen a large number of tank boats coming in and out for a month. The Ganxi Merchant Gang is indeed more tolerant than the Ministry of Households, but I guess they will take action in the next few days when they can bear it to the limit." Wei Bo said .

Zhao Baiyu: "It's not enough, I need them to jump over the wall in a hurry, so that they can make mistakes in their busy schedule. They tested me a while ago, but I dismissed them. They know my position, so they must be more careful." After thinking for a while, he said: "Let's find some people Dock stares, scares them."

After saying that, he put on his coir raincoat and bamboo hat and prepared to go to Cao Sishi. Wei Bo wanted to pass the message on his behalf, but was stopped by Zhao Baiyu.

"You have been busy all the way, and you haven't rested much yet, so I won't bother you with this trivial matter."

Zhao Baiyu walked into the rain curtain while talking, and rushed to Cao Sishi after a quarter of an hour's journey, and the transfer judge Dou Zumao came face to face, and the latter hurried forward to salute.

"The hypocrisy will be waived, you quickly call some people to the pier."

Dou Zumao was stunned: "May I ask what your lord wants me to do at the pier?"

Zhao Baiyu: "Why do you ask so many questions?"

Dou Zumao hesitated for a moment, but he still took the initiative to say: "Your Excellency, do you want to check the water boats? It's not that the lower officials are presumptuous, but the lower officials have the duty of persuading... Do you have a name for the inspection of the water boats? You should know the water transportation agencies. All water transport affairs in Fujian are under the control of the Southeast Sixth Road Shipping Department. Your Excellency, you are overstepping your authority to check the water ships. These provinces are all watching our officials in Hongzhou Prefecture. If you make a mistake, it will be like snowflakes , flew into the Ouchi Imperial Palace, if it was serious, he would be dismissed directly."

The transshipment envoy is in charge of a province's finances and supervision, also known as "Cao Si", who has a little bit of water transport but has no right to intervene in water transport agencies.

The Dajing Shipping Department is mainly responsible for Southeast Liulu and Sanmen Baibo. The former is in charge of the water transportation affairs of the six southeastern provinces.

The Cao Division and the Shipping Division have overlapping businesses, but they do not interfere with each other. The former focuses on taxation and financial planning in the province, while the latter is in charge of water transportation and transportation routes.

Both are responsible to the third department, not the relationship between superiors and subordinates, but the official position of the shipping envoy is higher than that of the transfer envoy.

Zhao Baiyu touched the Buddhist beads, smiled and said, "Where did you go? A few days ago, the official rations came from Jizhou. I went to the pier to check it out as part of my duty. Why did you say that you exceeded your authority?"

In addition to handling the taxation of a province, Cao Si's most important role is to purchase grain for the imperial court, which is often called grain purchase.Send the purchased official grain to the water transportation agency, and they will be responsible for escorting it back to Beijing.

"I heard that the former Cao Si envoy found private salt in the official rations?"

Dou Zumao was shocked, and quickly denied: "It's all rumors, it's impossible! Hiding private salt in official food is a serious crime of beheading! My lord, please don't hear rumors, lest you will be accused of framing your colleagues."

Zhao Baiyu: "I also heard from others, so I'll just ask you. If there is really private salt in the official food, won't the imperial court have to punish me for my oversight?"

Wrapping the prayer beads back around his wrist, he said with an impatient expression: "Okay, okay, I'll ask you to arrange a few people to go to the pier for routine inspections. What are you doing with so much nonsense? If you can't do it, get someone else!"

Dou Zumao hurriedly replied: "Your official, I'll call someone now."

Out of the front hall, Dou Zumao called the yamen servant to meet people, looked back at Zhao Baiyu in the hall in front of him, and quickly called a yamen servant next to him to order: "Go to the Shipping Department, and say that the Cao Secretary sent someone to the dock to check the official rations, and asked It's about private salt."

"Are you ready?" Zhao Baiyu urged.

Dou Zumao hurriedly said, "Here we come, the lower officials are here. Look, my lord, all the available people in our yamen have been called."

There were no more than eight yamen servants lined up in front of them, all tall and short, fat and thin, and there were no particularly strong people, and there were too few people.

"Just these few?" Zhao Baiyu frowned.

Dou Zumao was nervous, and said with certainty on his face: "My lord, we have a lot of affairs in the yamen. You see, the land tax in this province needs to be collected by someone, and we have to start from now to prepare for the spring of next year. The imperial court ordered us to buy grain." Government decrees. Oh yes, there are also large and small commercial taxes and miscellaneous taxes. We have to send people to do some handover and questioning work with the field affairs, prefectural and prefectural yamen. It is true that we can only find these few personal."

There is a serious shortage of manpower, but forget it, anyway, this trip to the pier is just to scare the merchants.

***

Southeast Sixth Road shipped Si Yamen.

The people in the transfer department's yamen talked to the yamen guard at the door before they were let in. The dispatcher Shui Honglang slapped the table and said, "What nonsense! I think it's arrogance and arrogance, and dares to lead people beyond their authority to intervene without evidence or evidence." For the position of the Shipping Department, even a stunned young man in the officialdom would not dare to do this! Is he as easy to deal with as Liangjiang is in the officialdom of Huainan?"

The Shipping Department of Southeast Sixth Road is in charge of water transportation in six provinces, and is the highest-level water transportation agency in Dajing, so there are two shipping envoys of the same level.

Another shipping envoy, Tian Yingzhuo, was also present, and he was relatively calm: "It is true that Zhao Baiyu manages the purchase of grain in the province. He fulfills his duties and does not exceed his authority. However, this move is intended to be provocative. If he really finds out who is carrying official grain The tank boat smuggled smuggled salt, and the higher-ups started to pursue the responsibility, and the shipping department—”

"Oh! Can you tell me something that everyone doesn't know?" Shui Honglang was irritated: "Is the salt gang's batch of 30 shi smuggled salt leaving tonight? The 150 million smuggled salt last time was poured into the water. Everyone has lost all their money, so do you want to do it again? The dissatisfaction of Liangjiang salt merchants and colleagues has come to my ears."

"Listen to me, the boat will sail as usual tonight." Tian Yingzhuo looked at the gloomy sky: "God is helping us, it's raining all over the sky, even if Zhao Baiyu has the ability to reach heaven and earth, it is impossible for Zhao Baiyu to survive in this terrible weather He has no one to use, and he has no right to deploy troops, so what if he finds something abnormal? Look at the six southeastern provinces, can he mobilize a single soldier!"

Only then did Shui Honglang remember that the 38 prefectures in the four provinces were all his own people, and even the two Zhejiang provinces had frequent exchanges, so he felt relieved.

"I heard that he used to be a fifth-rank Beijing official in the Water Transport Yamen of the Taxation Department. When he checked the water transport, he got into a fight with the household department. He said that he pulled up the iron chain at the ferry and pulled down those water boats. He became famous for a while. The water transport authority Hearing the news, his face changed, and it spread to our Southeast Shipping Department." Shui Honglang snorted, "They are all low-level evil tricks, and they won't work in Liangjiang."

"So why are you in a hurry?" Tian Yingzhuo said calmly, "Zhao Baiyu fought against the Ministry of Household Affairs at the beginning, but didn't he bow his head in the end? I thought I was some kind of iron-faced man with a certificate, but in the end I was still an ordinary person."

Shui Honglang called a few people over: "Go to the pier and describe what happened when you get back."

He wants to see a good show.

***

Arriving at the wharf, the wind and rain became more violent, the vision was gray, and the river surface was so white that we couldn't see the other side at all, as if we were facing the vast ocean.

Sure enough, the river locks could not be used for the Ganjiang ferry, there were no iron cables to cross the Ganjiang, and there were not enough manpower.

It was raining heavily, and Dou Zumao shouted loudly: "My lord, there are two tank boats in front of us. They have just weighed anchor. Do you want someone to go to the pier and shout?"

Zhao Baiyu stood on a high place and watched, and sure enough, he saw two official grain ships from Jizhou on the river, and immediately raised his hand: "Go and stop."

Dou Zumao immediately raised his arms to signal the yamen servant to go to the port and shout, four people went one after another, the voice was so loud that it passed through the rain curtain and fell into Zhao Baiyu's ears, and the people on the tank boat could clearly hear him from his position, but The response was to turn the rudder and accelerate.

In less than a stick of incense, the two tank boats had reached the skyline, leaving only a gray spot.

Dou Zumao was annoyed: "How dare you turn a deaf ear to the name of Cao Si? It's so audacious! There must be a problem! My lord, should we send troops to catch up? Or tell the people below to go to the next ferry to block the boat in advance?"

Zhao Baiyu: "Does this officer have any soldiers?"

"This..." Dou Zumao hesitated for a moment and replied: "You can send someone to report to the commander and send troops to assist."

Zhao Baiyu: "There is no evidence, why should the commander send troops?"

Dou Zumao made an urgent gesture: "Then send someone to block the ship at the next pass—these two tank ships openly disobeyed the order of Cao Si's routine search. I'd rather kill by mistake than let it go, my lord, we can't let go of this great opportunity to make contributions."

Zhao Baiyu laughed angrily, "Since you are so eager to be the first, I will leave it to you to inspect the ferry for the next month to ensure that there is nothing that should not appear on every tank boat carrying official rations except rice! Judge Dou , I was moved by your spirit and attitude, don't let me down."

Dou Zumao was stunned, his enthusiastic and eager expression instantly receded, and turned into distress. As soon as Zhao Baiyu left, he slapped his mouth again and again: "I am proud of you! I am telling you to be active! This time it will be fine, and you will ask for trouble."

As soon as Zhao Baiyu turned around, his expression darkened immediately, and he realized the problem.

Regardless of the relationship between the Ganxi Merchant Gang, Princess Changping, and the prefect of Hongzhou, it is certain that the Merchants Gang has colluded with the Shipping Department and has a close relationship.As a transfer envoy, he has no control over water transportation, and has no right to deploy troops. The troops are insufficient, and all talk is empty.

Like today's situation, the two tank boats told him no matter whether there was a problem or not, they were confident and not afraid of Cao Si at all.

I came here to find a way to scare the ghosts and ghosts hiding in the dark, but instead exposed my own problems——

He is alone.

***

Southeast Sixth Road Shipping Division.

Shui Honglang hurriedly asked: "Did you really leave in a desperate manner?"

The officer who came back to report nodded: "At that time, a row of yamen servants were yelling and cursing at the port. Our tanker turned the rudder and flew along the wind direction to the end of the river. Judge Dou yelled to lead his troops to chase, and Zhao Baiyu panicked. Said 'how to transfer troops without evidence'!"

Shui Honglang laughed loudly: "I think he is at the end of his skills. There was an accident that day, and no one would have expected that an official ship would be found smuggling smuggled salt, but Ji Xingbang took advantage of this to intervene in water transport affairs. The fish can't even get on the official boat, so how can we investigate the name?"

Tian Yingzhuo glanced at him and made a suggestion: "The goods to Guangzhou and Quanzhou have been under pressure for a month, so notify the merchants and let them sell as soon as possible."

Shui Honglang withdrew his smile, agreeing that he would condescend to listen to Tian Yingzhuo's suggestions when speaking to the public, but he would not be willing to listen to advice the rest of the time.

Although everyone is on the same boat, there are also different factions on the boat.

Shui Honglang didn't show any dissatisfaction in his heart, and asked someone to inform Chen Luowu that he was clear about important matters.

***

Ganxi Guild Hall.

Boss Ping: "I said earlier that Zhao Baiyu was bluffing, but you don't believe me! He got the limelight in Huainan and the capital because the official circles in those two places are not like our two rivers are tied together!"

Fang Xingwen couldn't help but be moved: "Zhao Baiyu has no rights and no one. The 30 shi of illicit salt this time proves that he is a paper tiger. Even if he really faces a boat full of smuggled salt, no one can use him."

Chen Luowu hesitated: "The third master told me not to underestimate Zhao Baiyu."

Fang Xingwen: "At this time and at that time, we have the shipping department of Southeast Sixth Road as the backing, so we are afraid of a Cao Si envoy who can't manage the water transportation? I think the third master is scared by the exaggerated reputation outside. We haven't seen Zhao Bai for so long. There is a big movement in the fish, is it possible that everyone in the 38 governments of the four provinces has to wait for Zhao Baiyu to make a move? If he doesn't make a move, everyone will starve to death?"

Chen Luowu was undecided.

Boss Ping followed up and persuaded: "Would you like to wait a few more days? But all other procedures have been completed in advance. At that time, you only need to board the ship and leave the sea in batches."

Chen Luowu: "Do as you say first."

***

Even if Wei Bo can support ten people alone, he is helpless in the face of the Hongzhou Ferry where the tank boats come and go.Cao Si couldn't squeeze anyone to use him, Zhao Baiyu thought about it for a while, and then repeated the same trick, asking people to go to the tooth shop to hire people.

Traveling all over Hongzhou, big and small tooth shops heard that they were hired by Cao Si envoys, and immediately refused. Even the tooth shops in neighboring houses only heard the request to go to the dock to patrol and refused without saying a word.

Even though Wei Bo and Yan Bing tried their best to speak well, Zhao Baiyu couldn't use his official authority to oppress them. They didn't want to do business with him, and he didn't break the law.

Wei Bo came back from the dental shop in the neighboring house: "There is no way. I asked friends in Jianghu. The largest dental shop in Jiangxi Province is from Hongzhou, and one of the main members of the Ganxi Guild Hall. He is not allowed to accept any dental shops. Cao Si's employment."

Zhao Baiyu understood: "Come prepared, they have figured out my bottom line. Now I am in the light, and they are in the dark."

Yan Bing ran back flushed with exhaustion: "The ferry, there are many boats at the ferry - there must be [-] boats! Looking at the direction, most of them come from Guangdong and Fujian, and some come from the north. Those who unload the cargo unload the cargo, and those who load the cargo move the cargo. The bustling scene is completely opposite to the desertedness of the first month we came here."

Wei Bo reacted quickly: "It's tricky."

Yan Bing: "Let's go and check it quickly?" He knew that the dental shop couldn't hire anyone, so he said: "Can we find local sluts or rangers?"

Before Zhao Baiyu could respond, Wei Bo objected first: "The capital is under the foot of the emperor, and the law and order are the best. Even if there are rascals and rangers, they are more chivalrous. There are few who violate the rules and regulations. The local rascals are rangers. In fact, they are mostly a group of local hooligans, and making friends with them will only lead to disaster."

The fifth prince's first reaction when he learned that Zhao Baiyu hired rangers to patrol the pier was that officials had a personal relationship with local ruffians. It was not aimless. Not all rangers are loyal, and more so-called "rangers" who form cliques are similar to modern gangsters. , their gang is the underworld.

They are best at fighting fiercely and using military force to prohibit crimes. If the local officials are not strict and unable to suppress them, they will encourage their arrogance to oppress the people and violate the law and discipline.

"The local government and businessmen colluded, so the law and order may not be very good. Hongzhou Dental Bank is well-developed, and its business reaches Southeast Asia. One in a hundred people is a dental merchant. Dental merchants are good at dealing with people. I don't think they haven't noticed the local knight-errants." , if someone needs to deal with some nasty things and it is not convenient for me to come forward, You Xiaer is the best candidate."

Zhao Baiyu nodded: "What Bo Wei said is correct. They found out about me, so naturally they had taken precautions. I have no right to investigate the wharf. Whether the Jiangxi commander can believe it or not is another matter. It’s okay to find something, if I don’t find anything, I’ll be the next Mr. Ji. I don’t need to be calculated by the business gang, I can take the initiative to fall.”

Touching the Buddha beads, Zhao Baiyu missed Huo Jingtang.

With no power and no one, besieged on all sides, alone and helpless, Zhao Baiyu feels that he is on a deserted island at this moment, surrounded by sea water that can drown people.

The waves are getting higher and higher, and if you don't pay attention, you will be swept into the sea.

Yan Bing and Wei Bo looked at each other and kept silent, not daring to disturb Zhao Baiyu. It was the first time they saw Goro who was troubled by official affairs like this.

"Has Huo Jingtang arrived in the northwest?" Zhao Baiyu asked suddenly.

Wei Bo: "Here we are. A few days ago, there was friction with Daxia, and we won a small victory. Winter has already entered the northeast and northwest, and the Turkic side may launch a surprise attack."

Zhao Baiyu: "How long do you think the battle in the northwest will take?"

Weber: "It could be a year or a half at the fastest, or three to five years at the slowest."

Zhao Baiyu looked at the Buddha beads in rapt attention, and in his spare time every day, he would pray for Huo Jingtang's safety, but at this moment, someone came to report that it was the judge of Liangjiang Yantie asking to see him.

Yan Bing and Wei Bo reacted at the same time: "Zhao Erlang? What is he doing here?"

Feeling vigilant, I only feel that the visitor is not good.

In Zhao Baiyu's impression, Zhao Erlang was okay, but he vaguely remembered that when he was young, he would bully Zhao Yuzheng with Zhao Sanlang, the prince and others in order to make Zhao Yuzheng happy.

Later, when he grew up, maybe he understood things, and he was not as cold-eyed as he was when he was a child, and he would respond to his greetings, although it was still lukewarm, probably because he really got along with strangers.

"Judge Yantie..." Zhao Baiyu chewed on these words and ordered, "Let him in."

It didn't take long before a slender figure in sky blue stepped into the flower hall, with a refined and restrained temperament, a gentle and handsome appearance, more like Xie's, with cold eyes, beautiful in the heart, and elegant in the outside.

He is Zhao Jia Erlang, Zhao Chongjin.

Zhao Baiyu didn't get up, but rubbed the Buddha beads by himself: "Inkstone, make a pot of tea."

Yan Bing warned Zhao Erlang with unkind eyes, and went to make tea obediently.Wei Bo stood behind Zhao Baiyu, with the same vigilance in his eyes.

Two years ago, he would salute respectfully when he saw someone, but now he doesn't even give him a look when he sees him again. It stands to reason that such a huge difference in attitude would make people think of a villain, but Zhao Erlang didn't feel offended.

Zhao Erlang is the only number one among the three brothers. He is the smartest, and he lives the most sober. Knowing that Zhao Baiyu was forced to replace Shiro to marry a man, he knew that the relationship between them was broken. Of course, he has no position on Zhao Baiyu's attitude. Pointing fingers.

He saluted Zhao Baiyu, a high-ranking official, as he did to his superiors: "Zhao Chongjin, the judge of Liangjiang Yantie, has met Mr. Zhao."

"Sit down." Zhao Baiyu raised his eyes: "Given the close brotherhood between you and me, I don't think I'm here to reminisce about the old days, so I said straight to the point, what's the matter?"

Zhao Baiyu is a smart man, and Zhao Chongjin is also a smart man. If it weren't for the conflict of identities, Zhao Chongjin would actually like his brother Zhao Baiyu very much.

"Do you want to wipe out the Liangjiang salt merchants? Do you want to strike a thunderbolt against the Ganxi Merchants?" Zhao Chongjin aroused the interest of others with a few words: "Just catch them when they transfer the next 200 million stone smuggled salt. !"

"Do you know the time when they transported the smuggled salt?"

"I followed for two years. The largest salt field is in Liangzhe, followed by Lianghuai, and the largest market is Liangjiang. It is transferred to the surrounding six provinces via Jiangxi, and at least 300 million stones are transshipped privately every year!"

"The highest recorded annual output of Lianghuai is only 380 million shi."

The annual output of Huai salt and Zhejiang salt accounted for 300% of the country, [-] million shi... at least half of the annual output.

"So the sudden wealth of salt merchants in Zhejiang and Jiangxi is also an important pillar of the Ganxi merchant gang. Cutting it off is tantamount to cutting off its arm."

"Are you willing to share the credit for the private salt case that you have been following for two years? Are you willing to let me, the son of the princess that your Zhao family dislikes the most, take the credit for nothing?"

"I'm not selfish." Zhao Chongjin said frankly: "The commander-in-chief Liangjiang has no personal relationship with me, so he can't believe it. I don't have the right to deploy troops. Only you and I have the same purpose, so I can only find you to cooperate."

"I also have no right to deploy troops."

"The commander-in-chief of Jiangdong belongs to Princess Changping."

Zhao Baiyu paused, and then showed a smile: "Zhao Chongjin, Zhao Chongjin, you are more calculating than the number one scholar 20 years ago, you can ignore the previous grievances and enmity, turn down your face and find me to beg the woman you hate the most, use her How can you be so confident that I will agree? The Zhao family judged my crime roughly based on the mother-child relationship between me and the princess, and now you want to use the mother-child relationship between me and the princess to help you make meritorious deeds. Do you think you are Too calculating?"

Zhao Chongjin's expression was indifferent: "There is nothing in the world that cannot be used. The officialdom is about favors and interests, but there is no personal relationship. I was a small boy in Liangjiang, and I was cautious. Facing the open and dark arrows projected by Princess Changping and Liangjiang's officialdom, I survived dangerously and dangerously, there is no reason to plot against me for a little personal affair."

Looking at Zhao Baiyu frankly, "I've heard about your deeds. You also want to solve the problems in the Liangjiang officialdom, don't you? There are no internal problems in the Liangjiang officialdom. They are consistent with the outside world in major matters. When you first arrived, you set up a ring and were already trapped. Stop it. Now I offer to be your helper to break the situation, are you willing to refuse?"

"Defeat the salt merchants, cut off the arms of the Ganxi merchant gang, fill the treasury, and benefit the people, or be affected by personal feelings, refuse this opportunity, and it is up to you to choose."

Zhao Baiyu was expressionless, as Zhao Chongjin said, he would not refuse this opportunity.

Zhao Chongjin didn't mind using Princess Changping, and he certainly didn't mind.

The only problem is that his childbirth has nothing to do with Changping, so how can he ask Changping to help him?

"The princess didn't take any private salt?"

"I'm stuck. The share is small." Zhao Chongjin instantly understood the meaning of Zhao Baiyu's words, and took the initiative to explain: "In recent years, the Ganxi Merchant Gang has become more and more hungry, arrogant, and has repeatedly surpassed the princess to make claims, such as before the collapse The Cao Si envoy is acting privately. Princess Changping needs a chance to suppress the Jiangxi merchant gang, so as to swallow up the smuggled salt and get lucky."

The huge profits of the smuggling industry, especially the smuggling of salt, have been hard to beat for thousands of years. Killing a smuggling salt merchant will only give up the market and feed another salt merchant.

While Zhao Chongjin was speaking, he took out a box from his arms, which contained a well-made hairpin made of gold and jade tinsel worn by a phoenix and a phoenix.

"The first emperor gave Princess Changping and the things of Ji. When they got married, they gave it to their father. They threw it in the treasure house to turn into ashes. When I came to Liangjiang, I brought it out privately. It is well known that Hu Heyi, the commander-in-chief of Jiangdong, loved Princess Changping back then, so he recognized the tin. The first hairpin. The most important thing is that Hu Heyi is a very happy person, and he can't refuse this great contribution."

He showed his sincerity again: "If the actions go wrong, I will fully take responsibility."

Zhao Chongjin put the hairpin in front of Zhao Baiyu's table: "What do you think?"

--------------------

The author has something to say:

The difference between the shipping department and the transshipment department (Tucao: The bureaucracy of the Song Dynasty is really messy)

The shipping department could hardly find any information, so I went to HowNet to check.

Both the Shipping Department and the Transshipment Department belong to the third department, and the two departments are not subordinate to each other. However, the Shipping Commissioner has a higher official rank than the Transshipment Commissioner, because the transportation of official food by water is the most important thing.

The importance of the shipping department and the transshipment department has changed over time. Sometimes the transshipment department is more important and accounts for more duties. Sometimes it is the shipping department. At its peak, it can even directly order the transshipment department. In the Southern Song Dynasty, it was canceled and the duties were transferred. Forwarding Division.

Duties:

Transshipment Department: He is in charge of taxes, commercial tax and land tax on land.It will also be responsible for collecting the amount of grain determined by the imperial court every year, and handing it over to the shipping department for water transportation.

If the water transportation agency is paralyzed, it will be returned to the transshipment department for transportation.

Shipping Department: Responsible for very detailed water transportation duties.

For example, this route stipulates how many times each year, how many ships per trip, and how many ships are built each year, so as to coordinate and unify water transportation.

In terms of policies, the three departments of the central government formulate, and the two departments of shipping and transshipment have no right to formulate, but are only responsible for implementation.

Then the water transport tax, because I didn't find out who is responsible for collecting the local water transport tax, so I set it up privately or the tax department.

Taxation: local field affairs - local water transportation tax department - transshipment department (cao department) - third division household department.

The difference between the above two will be used in the follow-up plot. It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand it. I will explain it in detail later.

There are quite a lot of characters appearing at present, mainly classified into: Ganxi Merchant Gang, Shipping Department, Princess, Zhao Chongjin, and some small people who have no advantage and where to drill. When all the characters appear on the stage and all forces surface, Let me briefly summarize who is which faction.
