At Shen Yu's request, the first fleet dispatched by the Shipbuilding Department did not go too far.According to the instructions of the Lu family, they went to the Brahman country, passing through many places, selling goods and buying local specialties.Most of these small countries lack agricultural tools and textiles, and what they exchange are pearls and gems, especially gold and silver minerals, etc. After that, the fleet returned with a full load.

The merchant ship returned, and Shen Yu was the first to receive the news and rushed to the Dongguan County Wharf.According to regulations, after the arrival of the merchant ship, the Shipbuilding Department must inspect the goods as soon as possible.

Shen Yu and Lu Ning also followed them on board.

The soldiers and merchants on the ship were very excited to return safely, and they were looking forward to returning home and reuniting soon.Shen Yu didn't make things difficult for them, and quickly asked someone to check them out.The box containing the goods was opened, full of gold and silver treasures.Li Tongpan, who followed Shen Yu, was dumbfounded.

Shen Yu remained calm, closed the box and said, "It's ok, which part of the government is it?"

According to the previous agreement, the Shibo Department took one-tenth of the city's boat tax, and Shen Yu sent soldiers to escort the sea and charged an extra portion.You can get a fifth.Lu Ning happily allocated the government's share, which was dazzling and dazzling.

Shen Yu was in confinement that day, and was also pulled by Wu Junyi to see the inner library.The internal treasury left by Emperor Jianning to Wu Junyi does not have much money, but there are still some treasures and antiques handed down from past dynasties, whether it is jade, gold and silver ornaments, famous inkstones, or celebrity calligraphy and paintings, etc., Shen Yu can be regarded as seeing People who have passed the world.But he had to admit that these gleaming gadgets of Xiyang were indeed eye-popping.

The last one was a small wooden box. Lu Ning took it, and when he opened it, it was full of thumb-sized beads, which were even and smooth.There are five or six gemstones, both blue and red, and they are also pure and clear.

Lu Ning signaled Shen Yu, "They prepared this for the adults. It's not something expensive. It's rare that the size is the same. It doesn't matter if the adults use it to make a face or give it away. It's decent. It's just to thank the adults for their kindness."

In fact, even if Shen Yu is not the chief officer of the Shibo Department, they still have to prepare this gift. This is the way merchants do things.But it is true that they are grateful for Shen Yu's kindness, otherwise they would not have to be so frank.

"You bother, put it back together." Shen Yu didn't delay, and accepted it generously.Lu Ning also breathed a sigh of relief.He was also worried that this Mr. Shen was too upright and didn't give face. Now it seems that he is overthinking.

Several boxes of gold and silver property were packed, and three carriages were used to transport them back. Both Shen Yu and Li Tongpan rode horses.Dongguan County sent guards to escort them back to the state government.

As soon as she returned to the state office, Shen Yu immediately ordered the clerk to register all the things—including the box of things prepared for him, and then repacked it in a stronger wooden box suitable for long-distance travel. Summon a group of guards and escort them into Beijing.

When Shen Yu was admonishing them, he was playing with a dagger that the Lu family businessman found for him. The dagger was extremely sharp and clear like water, but the handle was inlaid with rubies, which glistened in the sun.Shen Yu fiddled with his right hand, making the dagger rotate around his wrist, looking frightening.There is also a strange beauty in the white and slender fingers and the cold blade.

"You must have heard that the Xianbei invaded and the border was restless. This batch of goods is military supplies for the court." He noticed that many guards' eyes were bright, and suddenly sneered, and threw the dagger with his hand. Tie it on the wooden box and insert it more than two inches.Everyone's heart trembled.

"Everything in this box will be recorded in the book by me. Keep a copy in your hands and a copy in the memorial. If you find something that doesn't match, I will take care of it when you return to Guangzhou."

Shen Yu's tone was not serious, but that sudden movement, and his principle of doing what he said, had shocked the guards.They even thought of some rumors from the middle of Beijing that they had sniffed at: Mr. Shen, who seemed kind and friendly, had once killed someone with his own hands in public...

Seeing that their minds were restrained, Shen Yu was only half relieved and sent them off.I went back to the Yamen to deal with the accumulated practice.

But everyone else left, but Li Tongpan was still dawdling in his room.

"Master Li, is there anything else?" Shen Yu asked.

Li Tongpan faltered: "It's nothing."

Seeing that he still refused to leave, Shen Yu looked around, as if looking for something, and understood what he meant, so she said frankly: "Since you have seen it, I will not hide it from you. At that time, I handed over everything to His Majesty."

Tong San is not only the adjutant who knows the state, but also the imperial court sent to supervise these governors of a state.Today when Lu Ning gave the jewels, Li Tongpan was also at the side. He saw Shen Yu accepting bribes in front of him, and he didn't hide it. He probably thought that he would give him some.Shen Yu was too lazy to make superficial articles, so she simply said it.

"Oh, this way I can rest assured." Li Tongpan seemed to hesitate for a moment, and immediately laughed.However, Shen Yu saw that there was still a hint of envy and dissatisfaction in his eyes, and she sighed secretly in her heart. It seemed that after she left, Guangzhou could not be handed over to Li Tong for judgment.

In this way, all the gold and silver property from Guangzhou were in Wu Junyi's hands.He was prepared for the corruption of people on the road at first, so when Li Qi took the list and counted it himself, and told him: "There is nothing missing." After that, he was a little surprised.

"Okay, it's indeed Bo Jin!" What's there to be surprised about, it's Bo Jin.Wu Junyi thought proudly.

However, along with Shen Yu's memorial, there was another impeachment memorial written by Li Min, the judge of Guangzhou. The content of the impeachment was that Shen Yu colluded with businessmen, appointed cronies, and accepted bribes!

Wu Junyi was laughed out of anger.

He had hoped that these people would help Shen Yu and learn something.Who would have thought that it's fine if you don't help, but you're still holding back!He could imagine how difficult it would be for Bo Jin to live in Guangzhou with such an adjutant!

Even so, Bo Jin can still make so many achievements, but those people can only talk about it!

Although he was furious, Wu Junyi did not act impulsively. The law has been issued, and everyone must abide by it if he wants not to become a dead letter.According to the rules, he ordered people to publish the impeachment memorial and the gift list sent by Shen Yu, and he had his own censor to compare everything to prove Shen Yu's innocence.

He believed that Bo Jin's character would naturally become clearer the more he investigated.

When the gift list was made public in the court, everyone was shocked.It turns out that the profit of sea freight is so huge!

Who the hell is this Mr. Shen? How could he come up with such a method?

Based on this point, many people feel that even if he really seeks personal gain and embezzles a little bit, it is not incomprehensible.Their eyes glowed when they saw the list, let alone Shen Yu saw the real thing.Besides, as a foreign official, who confiscated the ignition consumption?Even Beijing officials like them, their subordinates go out to do errands, and they still get kickbacks.

However, Shen Yu really didn't keep anything private.No matter how harsh the censor is, he must sincerely praise a gentleman with both ability and political integrity.

As for Li Tong's sentence, impeaching his chief official was proved to be nonsense. He is not a censor who can be impeached upon hearing the news.They figured out His Majesty's intentions, and they seemed to be particularly fond of the punishment of being relegated to the frontier recently.

Sure enough, Wu Junyi had no objection, and picked another shrewd and capable official to send to Guangzhou for general judgment.

These gold and silver treasures blocked the mouths of those who criticized Shi Bosi and Shen Yu.Besides Shen Yu, who else could conjure up so much money?And with money, many things can be done easily-such as military training and shipbuilding.

Military training is done all the time.If the soldiers are willing to work hard, enforce orders and prohibit them, and trust the chief officer, first of all, they must have enough rations and enough money.Zhang Jue is well versed in the way of giving sweetness by hitting a stick.

And Wu Junyi completely trusts his ability to train soldiers, and naturally gives as much money and food as he has.

Especially cavalry.After the peace talks, Daqi paid a lot of money and food, but Xianbei also sent thousands of good horses as agreed.Wu Junyi kept almost nothing for himself and the nobles of the clan, and all of them were allocated to the army.Naturally, raising these horses also requires money.But what Wu Junyi wanted was the most elite cavalry, cavalry that could fight against the world-famous Xianbei cavalry, or even defeat it.

These soldiers were not fools either. The emperor treated them generously and relieved them of any worries: if they were killed or wounded in battle, their families would be given fields, so they didn’t have to worry about supporting them.How can they not be grateful for such a kindness of knowledge and encounter.

Ships were built to transport food.With Shen Yu taking the lead, many merchants took the initiative to recommend craftsmen who built ships for them.With the cooperation of those craftsmen and money, it is no problem to build a solid civilian ship like a merchant ship.

However, this approach is somewhat costly.Still, Yang Feng, who had already gone to the Ministry of Finance, proposed a trick: open the Chinese law.

This method is also simple to say, the merchant's ship is easy to use, so just use the merchant ship to transport grain.However, of course, it cannot be used in vain. If you can’t afford the money, you can exchange it with other things: the imperial court collects merchants to transport grain in exchange for salt imports, and by leading the salt transport to designated areas, counting the distance of the road and the amount of grain transported, can the merchants profit.Determine the grain exchange amount ①.

This method can be said to be watertight, and it was highly praised when it was proposed.

Another example is the establishment of firearms supervision.

This Xianbei raid further highlighted the role played by the Tribulus fireball.So the importance of firearms is naturally self-evident.Wu Junyi ordered people to set up a firearms supervisor to study firearms, select a group of craftsmen with ingenuity, and new scholars who are proficient in arithmetic and arithmetic to go there, and set up a workshop to improve the formula.

But apart from these, Wu Junyi has one more thing, which is depressed and uncertain.

"Zhang Jicai, who the hell is he?" Wu Junyi murmured.

He has doubts about the conclusions he has heard since he was a child, such as big traitors and rebels.And he became more and more curious, how did a little Zhang Jicai last so long under Xianbei's subordinates who made Daqi frightened (thinking of this, he felt a little uncomfortable)?

Wu Junyi called out, and a guard who had been hiding in the dark appeared.

"Go north and find out what Zhang Jicai has done."
