Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    ?Inspection of rivers in Ludong County, daily inspections of rivers and lakes, in addition to cleaning up various hidden dangers such as monsters and bandits, there is also an important task, which is to inspect smuggling.

    The nineteen prefectures of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty have a vast territory, and each prefecture has its own rich resources, as well as its own scarce resources.

    For example, Yangzhou is the hometown of fishing and rice and is close to the East China Sea. It is rich in spiritual rice, spiritual salt, and various rare treasures in the sea.

    But relatively speaking, Yangzhou is in short supply of all kinds of spiritual ore resources.  The 'Xuanling Iron Mine' in Mount Fuyu is already considered an extremely important spiritual ore resource.

    On the other hand, it is a different situation in the lands that go deep into the inland, such as the northwest of the Great Jin Dynasty.

    There are rich resources of all kinds of spiritual mines, but there is a shortage of materials such as spiritual rice and spiritual salt, and all kinds of rare resources in the sea are extremely popular and in short supply.

    In this case, as long as Yangzhou's rich spiritual rice, spiritual salt, and rare treasures in the sea are transported to the northwest and other places, the price will naturally increase by ten times, or even dozens of times;  Back to Yangzhou, and can earn a lot of money.

    Therefore, the Great Jin Dynasty has always imposed heavy taxes on this.

    Especially some resources such as spiritual salt and spiritual iron not only have heavy taxes, but also limit resources.

    In this way, driven by huge interests, many smuggling activities inevitably occurred.

    The monster 'Snake' was previously the 'Water Lord' of the Changbu River, controlling all the water tribes in the river, but it has seen many smuggling activities in the Changbu River.

    And those smuggling caravans, when passing through the Changbu River, would also offer some panacea, elixir and other supplies to the 'Snake' Suicune as passing money.

    'Snake' usually turns a blind eye to this.

    At this time, Liang Zhaohuang got the information of these smuggling operations from the 'Snake'.

    Let him have a feeling of eye-opening.

    "Unexpectedly, under the River Inspection Department controlled by the Lu family, there are so many smuggling operations in Changbu River!"

    "Oh! No!" Liang Zhaohuang's heart suddenly moved, "The Lu family has controlled the river inspection in Ludong County for hundreds of years. Unless they are all fools and trash, it is impossible for them to not be aware of these smugglings."

    "However, these smuggling activities are still rampant, and even become more and more prosperous."

    "There is only one possibility for this situation!"

    "That's why the Lu family is ignoring or even covering up these smuggling operations."

    "It's more likely that the Lu family is involved in these smuggling operations!"

    Liang Zhaohuang's thoughts turned straight in his heart, and he even thought of a deeper level.

    "Xie Wenyun, the magistrate of the county, has just arrived and announced the appointment of the position. The other county tycoons have not made any big moves. Only the Lu family's "river inspection" position has been taken away, and he will be appointed as the river inspection position."

    "Is it related to these smuggling?"

    "He was appointed as the inspector of the river in Ludong County. Are you going to let him crack down on these smuggling operations?"

    Liang Zhaohuang was not clear about the game above and the secret pushers. He and the Liang family knew too little information.

    However, he has some ideas about these smuggling operations on the Changbu River.

    Liang Zhaohuang treated the Lu family with "propriety first and then soldiers", but the Lu family was calculating with him every step of the way. There was no "propriety" at all, only "soldiers".

    Now that there is an opportunity, Liang Zhaohuang naturally doesn't mind taking revenge and going back one or two.

    Through the memory of "Snake", Liang Zhaohuang knew that the next smuggling operation would be three months later.

    He decided to check the situation when the time came.

    As for the seriously injured snake, it was temporarily kept here at the station of the River Inspection Department on the Changbu River.

    When it recovers from its injuries, Liang Zhaohuang is still very interested in the position of Changbu River's "Water Lord".

    After solving the problem of monsters occupying the river, Liang Zhaohuang led the second sister and others to drive the boats of the River Inspection Department to sail on the Changbu River, leaving all the rivers and lakes under the responsibility of the River Inspection Department of Ludong County.  again.

    One is to get to know the site where he will be responsible and work in the future; the other is to announce his arrival to many monks and forces active on the Changbu River and on both sides of the river through this inspection.  All the lakes belonged to him.

    In addition to this, Liang Zhaohuang has a hidden purpose.

    From the information given by the 'Snake', he learned of several places commonly used for smuggling transactions. Liang Zhaohuang is going to take this opportunity to visit these places on the spot and learn about the surrounding situation first.

    It's better to make some preparations for the action in three months.

    There are two or threeThe Changbu River stretches for more than 1,000 miles, plus some lakes and deep pools along the line. Liang Zhaohuang and others have patrolled all the way, and need to know the hydrological conditions, surrounding terrain, human conditions and other information.  The forward speed is quite limited.

    These information should have been listed in detail by the previous river channel inspector and handed over to him.

    But the Lu family only left him an empty river inspection department, even the warehouse was empty, let alone these materials.

    Now Liang Zhaohuang can only conduct on-the-spot investigations to understand the information.

    Fortunately, he learned a lot of useful information from the 'Snake', especially the hydrological information of the Changbu River and various lakes and deep pools, which saved him a lot of time.

    Moreover, under such detailed observation and inspection, Liang Zhaohuang also successfully found out the situation of several smuggling trading spots thoroughly, and had some deduction and preparation in mind.

    More than ten days later, Liang Zhaohuang finished his first patrol inspection and returned to Ludong County with his second sister Liang Zhaoyu and others by boat.

    The Liang family is still continuing to build the family residence. Although except for the core area, other areas can only build various ordinary buildings for the time being, but there are still necessary planning and layouts such as formations, feng shui, and terrain.

    These are crucial arrangements for everyone in the Liang family, but they are indispensable.

    Returning to the family, Liang Zhaohuang originally planned to retreat directly to practice, preparing for the "smuggling" in more than two months.

    It's just that the retreat was interrupted before it even started.

    Ye Junzhi, the head secretary of Ludong County, sent a message asking the Liang family to send people to the county government to divide the Lingtian and the shops.

    The advancement of the Liang family to rank nine county tyrants is not only a change in status, but also a huge change in the interests of the family.

    The rich and powerful families in Jiupin County enjoy a certain proportion of Lingtian distribution in Ludong County, as well as the distribution of shops in various Fangshi.

    The 'Black Thorn' Lin family was demoted from Qipin County Hao to Bapin County Hao, and a lot of spiritual land in Ludong County that they had originally occupied was returned, as well as some of the shops they occupied;  The spiritual fields and shops that were previously occupied are all vacant at this time.

    Ye Junzhi, the chief bookkeeper of Ludong County, has also completed the statistics of these lingtians and shops, and allocated them according to the ranks of the current families in the county.

    The 'Emerald' Shi family has been promoted from Jiupin County Hao to Bapin County Hao, and the interests of the family's lingtian, shops, etc. will naturally increase.

    There are also the Liang family of 'Five Color Lotus' and the Wang family of 'Fire Crow', two newly promoted ninth-rank county tycoons, who also want to divide the interests of Lingtian and shops.
