Chapter 755: A Little Story of Huadu
There are many docks outside Huadu City for ships to dock, and if you can occupy a place here, you can already be regarded as a leading figure in Huadu's power. You must know that the so-called wharf is not simply a parking space, but also includes warehouses, shacks, residential areas and some small transactions of clothing, food, housing and transportation, which can be said to be a small social circle.
The fact that the Yayunle Chamber of Commerce was able to monopolize a wharf itself speaks to a lot of problems, and the four giants of Huadu divided most of the interests of the wharf and shipping, leaving only some soup for the relevant small forces. In the past, a few families gave Lin Yue face and caressed the entrenchment. However, Lin Yue has not walked around the world in the past few years, and this enthusiasm has faded a lot. However, there is still a craftsman behind the moat, and no one dares to underestimate it.
After that, Lang Siqi, the young lady of the Hou family of Haole and Huaduhou, seemed to get along, although Huaduhou was just a puppet pushed out by various forces, but after all, he was the nominal owner of Huadu, so he gave Haole the opportunity to have his own independent dock. After all, this is also the result that everyone is happy to see. Being able to marry with the local chamber of commerce shows the position of Huaduhou. And the identity of Haole is special, although he has the protection of the craftsman, but in fact he is not a family with the craftsman, and the power is not up or down, and there are not too many interests entangled.
Today's wharf is extremely busy, today there are dozens of ships coming back from Miao, one of the 36 countries in the South China Sea, the land is fertile and the climate is pleasant, especially the rice there is excellent, and three crops a year is not a problem. Originally, the locals were not diligent in farming, anyway, there were fewer people and more harvests, so everyone was happy. However, with the frequent wars of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the price of grain also began to increase, and the rice of Miao State suddenly became in demand, which led to a period of thriving grain trade.
The wharf of Haole is not large, the location is relatively partial, and the draft is not too deep, so the berths are medium-sized sea vessels, and they are also engaged in offshore trade, so it is suitable to buy and sell grain from Miao State. This is still the idea that Lang Siqi gave him. No matter what time food is hard currency, but compared with salt, iron, sugar, and spices, it is not likely to touch the core interests of Huadu giants.
At this time, Hao Le and Lang Siqi were walking on the dock, and the two people who were naturally familiar with the surrounding people not only gave way one after another, but also saluted very respectfully, and even many people greeted Lang Siqi respectfully. It is not easy for the small people of Huadu to have food and clothing, and it is a blessing to meet a kind owner.
Seeing this, Trench said, "Everyone likes you very much." ”
Lang Siqi smiled softly: "I am the light of the chairman of the trench, everyone can have today's life, in fact, I am very grateful to you." ”
The owners of the wharf are more concerned about the benefits they can get, so the management of the wharf life circle is very extensive, and sometimes they even use some means to exploit the residents of the wharf. Therefore, small casinos or small kilns are everywhere, and many problems such as deductions, gangs, and robberies occur frequently, all of which make the residents of the dock miserable.
After Trench Le took over here, he cleaned up some bad things, and those who wanted to find trouble, whether it was Trench Le, Ziyun, or even Dugu Sisi and Mo Whisper, who were still some time ago, would let them know what it meant that my sword was not disadvantaged.
Lang Siqi said that everyone is grateful to Haole, but she is also loved by everyone, but she is not only stained with the name of Haole. Because she also did one thing, that is, she went to the city to invite down-and-out literati, and then organized the dock children to learn literacy, of course, she would not teach too advanced things, and it would be good to be able to read and count.
This is a great opportunity in the eyes of the people of the dock, after all, they have limited money and a large family, if nothing else, the son of the laborer will also be a laborer in the future, or go to work as a crew member. Some of them were sent to the craftsmen as apprentices. They also know the benefits of education, but they can't afford to go to school, so they can only let their children go out early to work to support their families.
Lang Siqi gave them a chance, once these children finish their studies, they will definitely not contribute to the docks, at least go to the city to be a buddy, maybe they can be a steward in the future, or even a big shopkeeper, if they can survive to the head of a place, then in the eyes of these workers, it is the existence of half a master.
Although ordinary forces will also cultivate talents by themselves, the cycle is too long, and in addition to loyalty, they may not be as good as the talents currently recruited, so everyone is basically multi-pronged.
Now Trench Le has given everyone here the security of life, but Lang Siqi has given them hope and that of future generations. Originally, Lang Siqi also wanted Haole to be this benefactor, but Haole didn't see the meaning of the aftermath, and directly told everyone that this was all done by Lang Siqi.
If two business collaborators are showing favor to everyone, different people may still have a choice to waver. However, in the eyes of ordinary people, Miss Lang is not the future president's wife, the two of them are one, so naturally it is the grace that is given together.
When the two of them came to the unloading place, Trench asked someone to open a sack, the rice in it was full, and Trench inserted his palm into it, feeling the rice slip between his fingers, and said happily: "Good, good, it's really good." ”
In the eyes of the merchants in Huadu, these rice are just commodities, and what they care about is how much profit they can exchange. But Trench is different, and since he was a child in the town, he was known as the Scourge Star. Just because he was a coffin boy, most of the people in the town maintained an attitude of disgust towards him, and they were going to leave him to fend for himself, but in the end, the elderly Grandpa and Grandma took him in.
The two old men still have two acres of vegetable garden, so they will not be without food and clothing, but they can only barely ensure that the three of them will not starve to death, so there are too many times when they are hungry, and these rice are like lives in his opinion, how many people can not starve because of this.
Lang Siqi looked at the man in front of her, who was a few months younger than herself, and felt a little distressed in her heart, she knew the experience of Haole when she was a child, she had lived in that environment for more than ten years but still had a sunny heart.
At first, his father designed to let the two go on a date, but she actually refused. She can understand her father's difficulties and is willing to help her father socialize, but it doesn't mean that she will sacrifice everything.
But with the relationship, she was gradually attracted to Haole, and Haole's temperament was actually not very good, and even a little childish, it was not his fault, it was his previous experience that limited him. But he has a sincere heart that is different from other Huadu forces.
Lang Siqi understands that although Haole has some talents, but his heart and strategy are insufficient, at most he is a shopkeeper or a manager, as the leader of the Chamber of Commerce is unqualified, if it were not for Lin Yue's face and the care of the craftsman, it would be impossible to have such a development. But it is precisely because of this that Lang Siqi prefers to be with him, for this rare sincerity and purity.
With her help, the Yayunle Chamber of Commerce also began to slowly shift from the capital type to the business type, and developed in an orderly manner, avoiding many pits that might be stepped on. In the eyes of everyone in Huadu, it can be regarded as the default relationship between the two.
After a busy day, the two returned to the Yayunle Chamber of Commerce, and only then did they know that Lin Yue was here. Seeing the long-lost master, Hao Le was a little surprised: "Master, you are back!"
Lin Yue saw that his mental outlook was refreshed during this period of time, and he was accompanied by beautiful people in and out, so he smiled and said, "What's the matter?
"No, Master, where have you been for so long?"
Lang Siqi was a little surprised, she had already heard of the name of Marquis Anling in the Megatron Capital, and now she looked like Lin Yue was just an ordinary young man, after all, Lin Yue was only in his twenties now, although he was the master of Trench Music, but in fact, the age difference between them was not ten years old. It's almost the same as those gentlemen in Huadu. But he has been fighting on the battlefield for a long time, and has done so many great things, and even has the same title as his father.
Lang Siqi gave a salute: "I've seen An Lingjun." "Xiang Lin Yue's impeccable family demeanor.
But Lin Yue didn't return the salute, just looked at Lang Siqi carefully, just now he only cared about talking to Haole, and didn't pay attention to the beauty in front of him. It doesn't matter if you look at this, Lin Yue only feels that this Lang Siqi is worthy of the title of the first beauty in Huadu, after looking at it for a long time, Lang Siqi was a little uncomfortable with Lin Yue's eyes, although he was used to being stared at by a light man, but Lin Yue's identity was different.
Lin Yue suddenly smiled and said, "My scoundrel has bothered Miss. ”
Lang Siqi hurriedly said: "An Lingjun is polite, in fact, it has always been the chairman of the trench who has taken me." ”
Lin Yue smiled and said, "Okay, please go back and say hello to Huaduhou for me, and I will come to thank you in two days." ”
When Lang Siqi heard that Lin Yue was going to come to the door, her heart suddenly tightened, this is to see her parents? She got along well with Haole, and she knew that there would be such a day. But looking at Lin Yue's appearance, he felt that things were not so simple.
After some politeness, Lang Siqi went back with a stomach full of doubts, and Lin Yue said to Haole: "This ...... of yours Girlfriend, it's really good. "I don't know why.
……
On a hill outside Huadu City, Ziyun swung his sword and stabbed straight over, and it was his maidservant Zhuge Leng who was fighting against him, who was also the red-clothed swordsman of this generation.
Although Ziyun is the master, Zhuge always beats him coldly. Ziyun really started to practice after his family changed, from walking the rivers and lakes to apprenticing with Lin Yue, although he also had adventures and Lin Yue's guidance, but the time for practicing was still shorter.
Zhuge Leng was taught the mastery of this sect 'Luoxia' by the red-clothed sword servant Luo Shi of the previous generation since he was a child, and his cultivation time had already surpassed Ziyun, plus she ate one of the four wonderful lotuses alive, Qiu Lin Bilian, and her own cultivation was even far beyond the first-class masters in the rivers and lakes, barely reaching the level of the three generations of disciples of the three sects.
After educating Ziyun again, Ziyun said: "The red-clothed swordsman is really powerful, but it's a pity that I couldn't learn from Sister Luo Fu back then." ”
As soon as he heard this name, Zhuge Leng's mood suddenly became unbeautiful. Luo Shi is her master, and she does respect Luo Shi very much. But her favorite Young Master Ziyun has a different kind of affection for Luo Fu.
Because Ziyun's mother died early, he was brought up by Luo Fu, and he regarded her as a sister in his heart, and a little bit of a mother.
Just as Luo Fu admires Ziyun's father, Ziyun also admires Luo Fu.
And after Zhuge Leng was taken in by Ziyun again, he also left a heart on the body of Young Master Ziyun, which is why Luo Fu would accept her as an apprentice, and the red-clothed sword attendant would only be loyal to the master, Luo Fu was obviously aware of Ziyun's attachment to himself, as well as Zhuge Leng's feelings for Ziyun, they should be a new pair, and Luo Fu also began to deliberately avoid Ziyun.
But I don't know if Ziyun really doesn't understand or pretends not to understand, he always regards Zhuge Leng as his sister and has no other ideas. Zhuge would always teach Ziyun a lesson, such as 'Young Master Ziyun, this is not right...... 'Young Master Ziyun, you should ......'
But Ziyun always responded with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, it's my fault." ”
Although it was an apology, his words were full of politeness and accommodation, but whenever he gave Zhuge Leng a little response, Zhuge Leng immediately obediently showed him all kinds of tenderness, which is not like this now.
Zhuge said coldly: "Luoxia is not suitable for men's cultivation. ”
"It's good to learn swordsmanship. ”
"When the skill is reached, even the basic swordsmanship can be quite powerful, what is the use of practicing the sword without practicing the skill?"
Ziyun responded with a smile again: "Yes, yes, yes, it's my fault, let's take a break." ”
Zhuge Leng looked at his apologetic smiling face, and suddenly wanted to hit someone!
