Everyone in Wang Jiudi was stunned when they heard Yang Qingyuan's words. The imperial court has always set up various types of taxes, and this is the first time they heard that the imperial court gave them money.

It's not that Yang Qingyuan doesn't want to pay more, but if he pays a large amount of lost wages at the beginning, it will actually dampen their enthusiasm for work in the future.

After the Cao Gang was seized, Yang Qingyuan had to rebuild the new order of the water transport terminal, so it is not appropriate to give too much at the moment.

Of course, this was Yang Qingyuan's wishful thinking. In Wang Jiudi's eyes, this was already a considerable amount of money. They usually get ten cash for a day's work, and this fifteen cash was too high for them to believe.

After explaining some details, Yang Qingyuan asked Wang Jiudi and the others to go out and told them about the matter.

Just when everyone was about to step out of the main hall gate, Yang Qingyuan called out to stop them.

"By the way! You have been working at the Water Transport Wharf for a long time. Have you noticed anything unusual happening on the wharf a few months ago?"

Yang Qingyuan suddenly asked a question that made everyone puzzled.

Everyone thought hard, and finally shook their heads, "My lord! We just work hard, and I really don't know what's unusual!"

Yang Qingyuan also nodded. The behind-the-scenes people headed by An Jia planned carefully and acted decisively. How could they leave clues for some porters to discover! ?Those who knew about it should have died in that man-made plague.

"All right! I'm just asking casually! If you think of anything? You can report it to Dali Temple. If you can provide valuable clues, there will be a silver reward."

Yang Qingyuan added another sentence before everyone left.

After the people in the water transportation had left, Yang Qingyuan called the four Ziyi headhunters from Dali Temple.

Before that, the Imperial Forest Army's Beijing Camp and Weishan Camp had set off in batches to seize the remaining eight smaller piers in the capital.

It is also possible to encounter the situation here, Yang Qingyuan told the four people how to deal with this place, let each of the four of them take charge of the two piers, and immediately lead people to deal with it.

After Yang Qingyuan finished handling everything, Ji Yaohua appeared in front of Yang Qingyuan.

"My lord is truly a Bodhisattva!"

No matter how you say it, Ji Yaohua's tone is more of ridicule than sarcasm.

Yang Qingyuan didn't explain either, but just changed the subject directly, "I was born in a Taoist sect, and it's really interesting to be praised for being a bodhisattva!"

Ji Yaohua didn't continue to ask, "My lord, what should we do next?!"

"An's family has so much food!! Of course I will continue to ask them to 'borrow'!"

Ji Yaohua's eyes also revealed the color of thinking.

Just when the two were about to leave, the police who went to the household department came back.

"My lord! The Ministry of Finance refuses to issue official ships!"

Yang Qingyuan's face changed slightly with a word from the policeman, and then he returned to normal.

It is reasonable for Hubu to act like this. No one in the court knows about the theft of Yongji warehouse. The official ship of Hubu at this moment is also sent to Yongji warehouse to transport grain.

Moreover, although Yang Qingyuan was walking in the Wenhua Palace at this time and was appointed as the water transportation envoy of the school, he still did not have the right to govern the official ships of the Ministry of Households.

Yang Qingyuan thought for a moment, and went to look for Li Xunhuan who was doing the accounting.

"Brother Li, there is one more important matter entrusted to you!"

Before Li Xun Huan could speak, Yang Qingyuan transmitted the voice.

"The grain in the Anjiacang needs to be transported to Jizhou immediately. In the name of the deputy envoy of water transportation, immediately recruit some private merchant ships! After loading the grain, I will immediately send a message to the college student, asking him to send the Imperial Forest Army to escort it along the way! Guarantee that this batch of grain can Safely transported to Jizhou!"

Li Xunhuan knew the importance of this matter, "Brother Yang, don't worry! I'll put aside what I'm doing for now and get this matter done first!"

For tax evaders, the accounts and goods are still at the dock, and none of them can escape, and the lack of food in Jizhou is the top priority.

At this moment, Yang Qingyuan could deeply feel the shortage of manpower, and wished that one person could be used as two.

When Dali Temple was newly built, there was a shortage of people!

After explaining the matter of the dock, Yang Qingyuan and Ji Yaohua immediately went to the city, and they wanted to grab a batch of food from An's family while An's family didn't realize it.

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

Capital City, Zuiyue Tower.

At this time, there are already quite a few guests sitting in the Zuiyue Tower, today is the birthday of An Shigeng, the richest man in the capital, this Mr. An has set up a full hundred tables in the Zuiyue Tower, feasting the guests.

But the person who celebrated his birthday couldn't be happy.

"Oh?! The Water Transport Wharf has been sealed off!?" An Shigeng held a glass of wine in his hand and leaned against the window on the third floor of Zuiyue Building with a smile.

"Yes! The granary where our family lived at the dock was also seized by Yang Qingyuan!? An Wu and the people under him were also arrested by Yang Qingyuan!"

Those who reported below were trembling, for fear of causing An Shigeng's anger.

"Oh?! Only the warehouse of our Anjia was seized, and the people who made our Anjia were arrested?!"

An Shigeng narrowed his originally smiling eyes.

"According to the news from our insider in Jingzhao Mansion, not only our warehouses have been seized, but the large warehouses at the Water Transport Wharf have basically been seized!"

Yang Qingyuan's move was within An Shigeng's expectations. The granary was stolen and the food was stolen. Yang Qingyuan was ordered to track down the food, and it was normal to seal up a large warehouse.

"Are the others caught too?!"

"No... no! Except for the people from the Cao Gang, only An Wu and the others were arrested?!"

An Shigeng also tightened his hand holding the wine glass.

"What's going on?! Yang Qingyuan suspected us!?"

The people below hesitated for a moment, and then said, "No! It was An Wu who drank too much wine, directly contradicted Yang Qingyuan, and resisted with weapons, so Yang Qingyuan took him down!"

After a while of silence, An Shigeng threw the one in his hand to the ground.

"How does the An family raise such a fool!?"

At this time, An's family had to keep a low profile. The granary was stolen. As the largest grain merchant in the capital, An's family was bound to come into Yang Qingyuan's sight.

Recently, An Shigeng tried his best to reduce the actions directly related to An's family, just not wanting to attract Yang Qingyuan's attention, but his hard work was ruined by a fool.

"An Wu?! Really good!! Old Hei! After he comes out of prison, you will make him yourself!"

"Yes!"

-----------

In Dali Temple, Yang Qingyuan and Ji Yaohua had already changed from their uniforms to casual clothes.

"I didn't expect that today is An Shigeng's birthday, this is really a good day!"

Yang Qingyuan took out a folding fan from the room, dressed as a scholar, completely devoid of the temperament of Dali Temple Chancellor.

"My lord! Are we going directly to An Shigeng's birthday banquet like this?!" Ji Yaohua was worried and confirmed again.

"Of course! It's her birthday, so of course we're going to join in the fun and give a big gift along the way! By the way! When the time comes, remember to protect me on the bright side, communicate with An Shigeng secretly, and don't show your flaws!"

"Yeah!" Ji Yaohua smiled, "I know what to do!"
