The riverside goes downstream, day and night navigation roughly second land under heaven noon then arrived in inside and outside 300 Jinling. 沿河顺流而下,昼夜航行约莫第二天下午便抵达了三百里外的金陵。 Jinling is the Jiangnan most famous city, its lively even surpassed situated in northwest Chang'an, a lot of pavilions such as the picture scroll launches slowly, 18 li (0.5 km) Qinhuai beautiful women were floating about like clouds, once left the trail of countless writer literati. 金陵是江南最负盛名的城池,其繁华甚至超过了位于西北的长安,千百楼阁如画卷徐徐展开,十八里秦淮佳人如云,曾留下无数文人墨客的足迹。 The toward evening, the ships entered the Qinhuai river mouth outside Jinling city, does not calculate that on the vast river surface flutters the full gorgeous boat merchant ship. Even if still outside the city, riverside both banks still constructs other Large expanse, assorted manor park hidden one after another, the writer attendant walks in the river bank, many in the scholar who in the stream bank shows off in writing. 黄昏时分,船只进入了金陵城外的秦淮河口,不算辽阔的河面上飘满的画舫商船。哪怕还在城外,沿河两岸依然建筑接连成片,各色庄园别苑隐藏其中,文人仕女在河岸边行走,不乏在河堤上舞文弄墨的读书人。 Xu Buling follows the wife to go out in the future, does not want to compete, is only a white student robe, the head also brings the hand towel, is the young student to dress up, stands the edge in deck, is appreciating the beautiful scene of river bank. 许不令跟着未来媳妇出门,不想喧宾夺主,只是一袭白色书生袍,头上还带着方巾,做年轻书生打扮,站在甲板的边缘,欣赏着河岸的美景。 Madam Lu is a little obviously excited, stands in the Xu Buling side, with finger the outskirts after river bank: „...... There, that Zhuangzi, from the boundary of general mountain to dragon tigers, is my Lu Family, I went to the mountain to play in childhood frequently, but also goes to the temple to burn fragrant...... appearance just like with your mother” to introduce young rich woman who likely own thing. 陆夫人明显有点激动,站在许不令的身边,用手指着河岸后的郊野:“……那儿,还有那个庄子,从将军山到龙虎之间的地界,全都是我陆家的,我小时候经常去山上玩,还和你娘一起去庙里烧过香……”模样活脱脱像个介绍自家东西的小富婆。 Xu Buling crosses the hands behind the back to stand listens respectfully to the introduction of Madam Lu with a smile, slowly arrives at the Nanshan port outside Jinling city. 许不令负手而立含笑聆听陆夫人的介绍,慢慢来到金陵城外的南山港。 The water gate of Jinling city to protect foreign enemy, the large ships are impassable, wants to enter a city very tediously, but also under water must tear down the metal bitt with the Government Office report, therefore the merchant ship loading and unloading cargo the harbor outside city, the ships of rich and powerful family wealthy and powerful family also anchors outside the city. 金陵城的水门为了防护外敌,大型船只是不能通行的,想要进城十分繁琐,还得和衙门报备拆掉水底的铁桩,因此商船装卸货物都是在城外的港口,豪门大户的船只也都停泊在城外。 Looks at the ships to move to the harbor slowly, Madam Lu sizes up several, lifted finger several watchtowers that referred to the river bend entrance construction, said in a soft voice: 瞧着船只缓缓驶向港口,陆夫人打量几眼,抬手指了指河湾入口处修建的几个望楼,轻声道: „When did government authorities cultivate/repair the watchtower? Person who above takes a walk not like officers......” “官府什么时候修了望楼？上面走动的人不像官兵……” Xu Buling narrows the eye to size up, actually sees in the giant harbor to have the black robe man of many belt/bring blade, the uniform/subdue obviously is not the government authorities, but puts on is also very unified, clearly is an organization. 许不令眯眼打量,却见巨大的港口上有不少带刀的黑袍汉子,制服显然不是官府的,但穿着又很统一,明显属于一个组织。 „Is this personal harbor?” “这是私人港口？” Xu Buling asked that is not quite definite. After all the present Nanshan port scale is a little big, the ships that south entire Jinling comes must approach shore to unload cargo here, otherwise must circle the big half-turn, at the scale of Jinling city, the volume of goods handled has many can be imagined greatly. Xu Family passes in and out the tariff in the western region collection is the important financial resources, raised 200,000 armies, if this Nanshan port personal, that cannot light/only describe with the multimillionaire. 许不令问了一句,不太确定。毕竟眼前的南山港规模有点大,整个金陵南面过来的船只都得在这里靠岸卸货,不然就得绕大半圈,以金陵城的规模,吞吐量有多大可想而知。许家在西域征收进出关税是重要财政来源,养了二十万军队,这个南山港若是私人的,那就不能光用巨富来形容了。 Some Madam Lu also doubts, said in a soft voice: „Nanshan port since old times then, who is not digs, how can personal. Before my family's ship stopped frequently here, the ashore only had the storehouse, has not seen these at sixes and sevens people......” 陆夫人也有些疑惑,轻声道:“南山港自古便在,又不是谁挖出来的,怎么会私人的。以前我家的船经常停在这里,岸上只有库房,也没见这些乱七八糟的人……” During the expressions, Xiao Qi walked from the cabin, after sweeping one, explained: 言词之间,萧绮从船舱里走了出来,扫了一眼后,解释道: „The Nanshan port was delimited by Governor Jinling to Yang, several years ago this.” “南山港被金陵知府划给了杨家,几年前就这样了。” Madam Lu hearing this stares, is slightly disgruntled: „What thing is Yang? Is it possible that king earth, can the thing of royal government delimit all over the world to others?” 陆夫人闻言一愣,略显不悦道:“杨家是什么东西？普天之下莫非王土,朝廷的东西能划给其他人？” The Xiao Qi expression is light, said in a soft voice: „A few years ago made some bandit invaders, seized the wealth also dead the person in the Nanshan port, the businessman was flustered, the government authorities could not catch the person, afterward Yang Yingxiong of Yang volunteered, asks some manpower to look in the Nanshan port, constructed these things, the bandit invader is not noisy. Later said that to maintain the livelihood, the turnover collects some passing by the road money, the government authorities also tacitly consented.” 萧绮表情平淡,轻声道:“前些年闹了些匪寇,在南山港强掳钱财还死了人,商贾人心惶惶,官府也抓不到人,后来杨家的杨映雄自告奋勇,找了些人手在南山港看着,修建了这些东西,匪寇也不闹了。之后说是为了维持生计,进出收些过路钱,官府也默许了。” Xu Buling pondered over under: „Sounds some fishy.” 许不令琢磨了下:“听起来有些蹊跷。” Xiao Qi naturally understands fishy, helpless slightly obviously said: 萧绮自然明白其中的蹊跷,略显无奈道: „I let person of investigates passed/lived in secret, the bandit invader is the Yang Yingxiong arrangement, the murder kidnapping threat businessman, appropriates to oneself the Nanshan port. The Yang Yingxiong younger sister is King Wu secondary concubine, having King Wu is to take advantage, makes also lets it go to Emperor in front, Governor Jinling has no alternative, can only compromise.” “我暗中让人查过,匪寇是杨映雄安排的,杀人绑票恐吓商贾,将南山港据为己有。杨映雄的妹妹是吴王的侧妃,有吴王为依仗,闹到天子面前也是不了了之,金陵知府无可奈何,只能妥协。” Xu Buling hears here, frowns slightly: „Since knows, no matter how manages.” 许不令听到这里,微微蹙眉:“既然知道,怎么不管管。” Xiao Qi slightly obviously helpless, shrugs the arm: „How do I manage?” 萧绮略显无奈,耸了耸肩膀:“我怎么管？” Madam Lu hears back to have the King Wu shadow, was not quite at heart happy, opened the mouth to give Xiao Qi to explain one: 陆夫人听见背后有吴王的影子,心里不太高兴,开口给萧绮解释了一句: „Xiao Qi does not have the person in office, involving King Wu is not quite good to meddle. For this matter submits a written statement earnestly to Minister Xiao, splits with King Wu inevitably. Xiao Family lives in Jiangnan, this with aristocratic family of Suzhou city, exposed King Su to take by force and deceit to be the same to the royal government, offended directly.” “萧绮没有官身,牵扯到吴王也不太好插手。为了这点事儿较真上书给萧相,必然与吴王交恶。萧家就在江南住着,这就和肃州城的世家,向朝廷揭发肃王巧取豪夺一样,直接把人得罪死了。” Xu Buling hears this explanation, understands actually some —— Vassal King most abstain some people calumniate somebody to superiors to Emperor, especially oneself following person. aristocratic family powerful family behavior and conduct, is always based on the family/home, takes the prosperous say/way, understood that bears patiently and analyzes the situation, handles matters smoothly easily does not split. Xiao Qi definitely not for these matters and King Wu to become enemies, even if knows that still can only turn a blind eye. 许不令听见这个解释,倒是明白了些——藩王最忌讳的就是有人给皇帝打小报告,特别是自己下面的人。世家门阀为人处世,从来都是以家为本,取长盛不衰之道,懂得隐忍和分析局势,处事圆滑不轻易交恶。萧绮肯定不会为了这些事和吴王交恶,即便知道也只能睁一只眼闭一只眼。 The ships drive into the harbor slowly, Xu Buling slightly size up, enough over a hundred ship anchoring are one of them, has the goon to get the accountant mister to stand in the shore, the inventory population gathers the silver money house to house. 船只缓缓驶入港口,许不令略一打量,足足上百条船停泊在其中,有打手领着账房先生站在岸边,挨家清点人数收取银钱。 Xiao Qi walks Jiangnan to be always low-key, but passed by Jinling, has not informed the Lu Family person to greet. The man who at this time the shore, several bandit air/Qi have not then come up in great numbers and from all sides stands according to the blade in the wharf waits. 萧绮行走江南向来低调,只是路过金陵,也没有通知陆家的人过来迎接。此时还未岸边,便有几个匪气横生的汉子按刀站在码头上等待。 Accompanying steward Hua Jingting has not said is anything, lifted the hand to make the male servant bring some silver money, the arranged boatman prepared to put down the deck. 随行的管家花敬亭也没说是什么,抬手让家丁取来了些银钱,安排船夫准备放下甲板。 Xu Buling finds this, frowns gently. 许不令瞧见这一幕,轻轻蹙眉。 Xiao Qi considered, opens the mouth saying: „I am not truly good to manage. However King Wu this time in view of you comes, to need help from you, under you will strike Yang Yingxiong slightly, King Wu should not care. As Vassal King Heir Apparent, should do that.” 萧绮斟酌了下,开口道:“我确实不好管。不过吴王这次针对你而来,有求于你,你稍微敲打下杨映雄,吴王应该不会放在心上。身为藩王世子,也应该这么做。” Madam Lu thought that is also: „King Wu how, under the hand one group of child master soldiers, had no way to compare with King Su. This is the government boundary, the strong rope silver money rope to King Su on, this is not money many matter......” 陆夫人觉得也是:“吴王又怎么了,手底下一帮子老爷兵,和肃王没法比。这本就是公家地界,强索银钱索到肃王头上,这就不是银子多少的事儿了……” King Su lineage/vein are not the powerful family, as guarding Vassal King of border area, faces directly the royal government and outside the passes powerful enemy, does not yield an inch inevitably. The simple point is today can spend several two money to exempt slightly troublesome, tomorrow can with own, cede territory, present tribute and professes allegiance to exempt greatly troublesome, this is the attitude issue. 肃王一脉不是门阀,作为镇守边疆的藩王,直面朝廷和关外强敌,必然是寸步不让。说简单点就是今天能花几两银子免去小麻烦,明天就能和亲、割地、纳贡、称臣免去大麻烦,这是态度问题。 Xu Buling has not responded, turns the head to look to nearby Ye Ying: 许不令没有回应,转头看向了旁边的夜莺: „Ye Ying, bringing Aunt Lu to go to wait.” “夜莺,带陆姨进去等着。” „Good Young Master.” “好的公子。” The Ye Ying nature was compliant, holds doubts Madam Lu to enter the cabin. 夜莺自然遵命,扶着疑惑的陆夫人进入了船舱。 The ships approach shore, the deck put, Xiao Qi drew back some not to make an appearance, looked that the appearance wants to take a look at the Xu Buling handling matters method. 船只靠岸,甲板放了下来,萧绮退开了些没有露面,看模样是想瞧瞧许不令的处事方法。 Xu Buling makes the maidservant guard in the ship superior, went down the deck alone. 许不令让丫鬟护卫在船上等着,独自走下了甲板。 The goon and accountant in mister ashore, what sees was rich people's manned ships, the bandit on face air/Qi restrained slightly. 岸上的打手和账房先生,见来的是大户人家载人的船只,脸上的匪气稍微收敛了些。 The man of lead found to go down the look handsome frail scholar, lifted the hand: 带头的汉子瞧见走下了个相貌俊朗的文弱书生,抬了抬手: „How many people did Young Master lead? In Port pulls out money per capita, a person money money, looked that the ship drinking water is not deep, cargo even.” “公子带了几个人？港上按人头抽银子,一个人一钱银子,看船吃水不深,货物就算了。”
