Chapter 552: Pig Cub Business
Jinling City is right in front of you, and it is getting closer and closer to Nanchen.
Nanchen's heart was indifferent from the beginning.
By now, I'm starting to have some small expectations.
When you arrive at Jinling City, you must inquire.
In Jinling City, is there a place called "Shang"?
The ships are getting closer and the distance to the dock is getting shorter.
The surrounding ships are also constantly crowded.
In this era, it was quite dependent on river transportation.
In a place like Jinling City, you can not only go to the sea, but also enter the inland river.
It has the characteristics of a living creature distribution center.
Even before docking, Nanchen and others found that there were two accidents on the river where cargo ships collided.
Not long after, the boat on which Nanchen and the others were riding docked.
This one docks.
The people in the cabin rushed out.
Nanchen was in the crowd and followed everyone to the shore.
The wharf of Jinling City is very large, very large.
There are crowds, coming and going, I don't know how much.
Porters, husbands, merchants, soldiers, etc., all come and go.
And this just came ashore.
A few young men greeted him with something like a propaganda poster.
To the villagers who came ashore:
"Brother Nanyang gold panning is not interested!"
"San Francisco miners, eat and live, ten oceans a month!"
"The United States grows soybeans and recruits skilled workers, twelve oceans a month. ”
“......”
Hearing these propaganda, many villagers who had just disembarked were attracted.
Nanchen frowned subconsciously.
Because these gimmicks that sound very good are all pitfalls.
As long as these people believe it, they will be sold as piglets to foreigners.
Then go abroad to be a slave and never want to come back.
Wencai Jiale and others are full of curiosity about Jinling City.
I was immediately attracted by the publicity.
Wen Cai was even more curious:
"Senior brother, what kind of place is America?
Plant a soybean.
Twelve oceans a month?"
"Yes!
Growing soybeans can have such a high income.
That's an exaggeration, isn't it?"
Qin Jing didn't believe it.
Jiale also nodded.
Nanchen smiled bitterly:
"There is no such thing as a cheap lunch.
I went, and I only regretted it.
And this place, you have to take a boat for half a year to get there......"
As soon as Nanchen said this, he attracted a propaganda youth.
The young man took the poster and walked over directly:
"Hey, hey, hey, America is on the other side of the ocean.
It is the most advanced country in the world today.
The people there are lazy, but they have money.
People on our side will naturally have a high income when they go over.
Come and see.
If you pass, I will say to the steward, and I will give you fifteen oceans every month.
Eat and live.
The soybeans in the middle of the year came back, and there were more than 100 oceans left!
Hey, hey, hey, not bad!"
After speaking, the young man handed the propaganda poster in his hand to Nanchen.
Nanchen glanced at it, and there was a map on it.
and a striking reminder of the twelve oceans every month.
Nanchen smiled faintly:
"Sorry, we're not interested!"
After speaking, he handed him the propaganda poster in his hand.
The young man still wanted to fool around a few words.
If he doesn't fool a "piglet", he will have a reward from the ocean.
Nowadays, the "piglets" are getting harder and harder to fool.
So they all ran to the dock and fooled those outsiders who came to Jinling City.
The guy continued to laugh and laughed:
"Guys, what I'm saying is true.
Foreigners' money is easy to earn......"
But as soon as these words fell, Boss Qian followed with two bodyguards.
Seeing that this young man was fooling Nanchen and the others, his face changed.
Leng Leng said:
"Ma San'er, where are the piglets pulled again?"
When the young man saw Boss Qian, his face changed slightly.
Hurriedly nodded and took a step forward:
"Money, boss money, your guy is also on this boat?"
Boss Qian held his hands behind his back:
"Well, these are my valued guests.
Do you want to fool them into going to the South Seas to be piglets, or to go to North America to be slaves?"
When the young man heard this, his face turned green.
He's just a horse boy, an errand runner, a low-level person.
This money boss is different.
Jinling City's famous money is eight thousand.
The presence of rich flowing oil.
It's not something he, a low-level pony, can afford to mess with.
"Wow!
Misunderstanding, misunderstanding.
The little one knows that a few of them are the distinguished guests of Boss Qian.
A few of them couldn't help it.
Excuse me, excuse me......"
After saying that, he hurriedly stepped back.
At the same time, he greeted several accomplices around him and left here directly.
Go to the other side and fool another passenger who is about to board the ship.
Qiusheng Wencai and others still don't understand what's going on.
Piglets? Slaves?
Qiusheng even asked Boss Qian:
"Boss Qian, what piglet, slave?"
Boss Qian smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"I don't know!
These people, ostensibly confessions.
In fact, it is buying and selling people.
Fooling people to work abroad is actually to be used as livestock.
Once you're out, don't think about coming back. ”
As soon as these words came out, Qiusheng Wencai and others couldn't help but be surprised.
I didn't expect to encounter such a dark thing as soon as I came ashore.
At the same time, he also subconsciously glanced at his junior brother.
It seems that his junior brother Nanchen has already seen through everything.
Otherwise, why do you say the phrase "if you go, you can't come back"?
Nanchen didn't have much emotional change, just looking around.
The world of a hundred years ago is indeed completely different from a hundred years later.
Boss Qian also motioned for everyone to move forward.
Immediately, everyone followed Boss Qian and left the dock all the way.
This money boss, although he was very afraid of death on the ship before.
But in this Jinling City, it seems that there are quite connections.
Along the way, many people greeted him politely.
At the entrance of the pier, there was already a car waiting for a long time.
When the passengers who boarded the pier and came to the excuse saw the car, they all paid attention.
Many people are even more curious about what this thing is.
Because cars are still a rarity.
Not only is it expensive, but it is very rare.
"What is this?"
"What a strange look!"
"Don't touch it, this thing is called a car!"
"It's very expensive, I heard that one will cost more than tens of thousands of oceans. ”
"Ah, it's so expensive!"
“......”
Pedestrians talked.
Wencai, Jiale, and Qinqing have never been to such a big city, so naturally they have never seen them.
After all, in Renjia Town, the only one who can afford a car is Master Ren.
You can use the conditions of any town, even if you buy a car.
There is no place to open.
There are mountain roads everywhere, and it is not as comfortable as riding a sedan chair and sliding pole.
Therefore, Wen Cai and the others looked at the car suspiciously at this time.
When I heard about tens of thousands of oceans, I couldn't help but be shocked.
This iron lump, so expensive?
At this time, a middle-aged man stepped forward.
Facing the first eight thousand, Boss Qian said:
"Sir, please get in the car!"
Say it!
Make a gesture of please.
Boss Qian looked proud, and having a car represents identity.
At this time, he turned around and said to Nanchen and the others:
"Guys, can I still squeeze in the back of this car?
Look, who's going to get in the car with me?"
The back row can squeeze up to four, so it is impossible for Nanchen and his group of five to sit in the car together.
Qin Jing was very curious and puzzled at this time.
She looked at the iron bump, how could she move?
So he quietly asked Nanchen:
"Nanchen, this thing, there are no horses and cows to pull it, can you take us away?"
"Yes, junior brother, how does this thing move? Is it someone pushing it from behind?"
Nanchen smiled.
"No, this thing burns gasoline.
Just start the machine and it will move. ”
Qiusheng and his aunt have been to Jinling a few times, so naturally they have seen cars.
So he said:
"Don't look at this lump of iron.
Not to mention a few of us, even if we are loading ten, we can pull it. ”
Boss Qian smiled:
"yes, cars have a lot of power.
It's just that the space is too small.
I'm so fat, working as a co-pilot, a driver.
In the back row, you can only squeeze four.
So there was a guy who followed my subordinates to make rickshaws. ”
When Qiusheng and the others heard this, they all looked at me, and I looked at you.
Obviously, they all want to experience what it's like to be in a car.
Nanchen, on the other hand, said lightly:
"Boss Qian, why don't you let me open it!"
When Boss Qian heard this, he was surprised.
The driver next to him was even more stunned.
It's not easy to drive a car.
The man in front of him is the son of a big family?
Boss Qian was also surprised:
"Nanchen Dao Chief, do you know how to drive a car?"
Nanchen smiled, he didn't just know how to drive a car.
Even if it's a tractor, he'd driven it once or twice before.
It's been too long, it's been a long time since I've driven a car.
Now that I see this old antique, I want to experience it too.
"Yes, I'll drive ......"
In an instant, Qiusheng Wencai and the others, who were standing next to them, were completely dumbfounded.
What kind of immortal is this junior brother of himself?
This Western high-end cargo, car.
He even knows how to drive?
PS: Book friends, it's not going well to write today, this point, just write this.
So there are only two chapters for today.
Clenching fists.
