Chapter 7 A Manifestation of Faithfulness
Those porter guys were originally curious about Xie Xiang; They don't care how elegant Xie Xiang is, he is as rich as a jade, they just feel that there are beautiful flowers in the future, and they are better looking than the girl, no wonder the owner is so tight.
It turned out that when these porter guys really saw Xie Xiang, Xie Xiang had already freshened up and changed into Liu Shang's clean clothes, although his face was still a little pale and haggard, but he was no longer unkempt and embarrassed.
Moreover, Xie Xiang was naturally elegant and weak, and his pale face made him even more beautiful as a crown of jade, and he didn't have a soft attitude that I saw pity.
Seeing such a beautiful scholar is like seeing a fairy child who fell from the sky, and there is no one who is not secretly envious in his heart.
Such a nobleman who was promoted by the old owner didn't dare to come forward, and suddenly heard Zhang Si say that this jade-like bookkeeper wanted to be intimate with everyone, and those who ate good meals did not eat good meals, so they all smiled and surrounded Xie Xiang.
Xie Xiang saw that everyone was almost over, so he arched his hand to everyone, and said with a smile: "Everyone has worked hard, thank you owner Liu Gongzi for looking up and inviting me to go on the road with the big guy to help him, from now on I will rely on the owner to eat like everyone else, so I want to get acquainted with everyone." ”
More than a dozen porters saw that although Xie Xiang was so glorious, it was very kind to say, not to mention that everyone already knew that this beautiful Xie Gongzi was indeed hired by the owner as the bookkeeper, even if he was noble, he was not much more noble than them, so the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
There was a brave man who liked to talk and said to Xie Xiang: "Thank you, Mr. can afford our big guys, Mr. and us rough people are not the same, the owner and Mr. are classmates and friends, and they are literate and hyphenation talents, and in the future, the big guys will have to rely on Mr. to be thoughtful." ”
Xie Xiang nodded and smiled: "I can't say it, but if you have any bad accounts, and you want to write a letter to your family, I can help." When we go out, we should support each other to earn money that can support our families, and then it will not be in vain for us to go out for a hard time. ”
Zhang Si took the lead in cheering and said: "Well said, Mr. is worthy of being a literate and hyphenated reader, but that's not the case, today's world, hard work is okay, if you are not lucky, the owner has broken the capital, or the road is not very smooth...... cough, I'm afraid I can't make a hard-earned money in An Ansheng. ”
An old guy hurriedly scolded: "Zhang Si, what nonsense are you talking about? Pure talk of these unlucky ...... Beware of the proprietor hearing it! ”
Zhang Si suddenly shrank his neck, blushed and said, "Aren't I telling the truth......
Xie Xiang couldn't help laughing, this Zhang Si was sleek, knowing what he wanted to say to everyone, but pretending not to know, and deliberately citing the topic in this seemingly unintentional way.
He nodded and said to everyone: "This brother's words are not good to listen to but true, we all want to be auspicious when we go out, we want to make the owner happy and make a lot of money, but in fact it is not that we want to be auspicious, we can make money if we want to make money, but now such a world, everyone knows it, but they don't want to say it." ”
Zhang Sizheng regretted his reckless words, Xie Xiang's words were tantamount to relieving him, and he immediately felt extremely grateful to Xie Xiang in his heart.
When Lao Cheng's guy heard Xie Xiang protect Zhang Si like this, he knew that he had scolded Zhang Si in front of Mr. Ledger, so he said a little sarcastically: "Mr.'s words are true, but those of us who are subordinates, even if we can't make a lot of effort in front of the owner, it's better to say less of those unlucky words." ”
Xie Xiang immediately felt that he had seized an opportunity to speak from this guy's words, and said with a smile: "You can have such loyalty, if your host knows, wouldn't you be happy?" However, I don't know if you are the only one in Yunjiao's caravan who wants to contribute to the owner, or if the big guys are all so loyal? ”
Xie Xiang only asked on purpose, who of those guys didn't want to hurry up and show their loyalty? Even if it was just hired from the street the day before yesterday, and now he has to rely on Liu Shang to eat, who doesn't want to hurry up and show his loyalty?
So these guys and porters suddenly said together: "We don't like to hear what Mr. asks, the so-called cannibal Lu is loyal, is he the only one who is loyal?" I can't say that we are more faithful and willing to work harder than he is. ”
Xie Xiang immediately left, and smiled treacherously in his heart, these rough people were really put on the shelves as soon as they beat the gongs and drums.
He deliberately made a thoughtful appearance, "It seems that Yun Jiao is really blessed, the caravan is full of loyal and brave people." ”
The rough people who exert their strength can't listen to the praise of others the most, and these porter guys want to show that they are not afraid of hardship, tiredness, or even death, and they are noisy and boastful.
Xie Xiang waited for them to be tired, and then said unhurriedly: "We people are going to take the goods of the owner to the Huguang area, I heard that this road is okay, but it is not very peaceful if you miss the night stay, and if you go too slowly, it will not work, because when we walk slowly, other caravans will already arrive at the place and sell the goods to earn silver......"
The older guy said disapprerovingly: "I'm afraid that the owner will go slowly, if you tell everyone to let go of your steps, are you afraid that you won't go out for a three-day journey?" ”
Some of the guys and porters gave the old guy a hard look, although he had just sworn in front of Xie Xiang, but he really wanted to make them walk to death every day, and no one would be happy to be tired.
Zhang Si hurriedly said: "That said, I'm afraid that if you are really in a hurry, the livestock will not be able to bear it." ”
Xie Xiang already had a bottom in his heart, so he smiled and said: "Actually, the owner has to be a fast trunk road, early to get profits, our big guy is trying to make some hard money, what I am afraid of is that there is so much money if we go fast, and there is so much money if we go slowly, and we work hard in vain." ”
"That's it, so big guy, how many distances can you travel in a normal day, if everyone works together, you can walk more every day, of course, it's best not to miss the safe accommodation, ten miles more, I will ask Uncle Liu to redeem the silver to the big guy first, are you willing?"
Zhang Si and a group of men and men had already widened their eyes when they heard this, and the older guys asked with some disbelief: "Sir, you're not joking with us, are you?" The wages that the proprietor gave us every day were said to be dead, and there was no reason to walk more than ten miles to give more silver. ”
Xie Xiang said with a smile: "The gentleman is quick to speak, since I told you so, I will be the lord of Yunjiao, I don't believe that from now on, if you can really walk for three days in one day, then pay everyone three days' wages a day, no jokes!" ”
The porters looked at each other for a moment, and then they were excited.
They originally worked hard to make a living outside, such a world is not peaceful, who wants to work hard outside for half a year and ten months? If you really earn forty-five wages after half a month of hard work, who wouldn't want to do such a good thing?
In particular, the temptation thrown by Xie Xiang is still the daily cash exchange of silver...... The final result of the unification of these porter guys is not suspenseful, and it is done!
Xie Xiang asked Zhang Si to invite Liu Shang and Uncle Liu to be in front of everyone, and Liu Shang praised Xie Xiang very cooperatively and agreed to all his requests. He encouraged the big guy with a lot of proprietor demeanor, but he was secretly muttering in his heart: Walking for three days a day? Is it possible?
Uncle Liu is a senior old man of the Liu family's habit of going to Huguang business, and the beginning and end of the trip from Linhuai to Huguang are all in his heart.
Xie Xiang pulled Uncle Liu and a few porters with some qualifications to strictly calculate the entire itinerary, so as not to stay in dangerous places at night.
Hurrying comes first, and safety is even more important.
Now, Liu Shang was happy to be the shopkeeper, just waiting to exchange the silver every day to this group of desperate guys.
I really don't know if I don't do it, I was shocked when I did it, and the heart encouragement policy that was just introduced at noon came out in the evening.
Liu Shang's caravan rushed all the way, and unexpectedly arrived at the inn that was supposed to arrive the next night.
The proprietor, Liu Shang, didn't really walk through Huguang, so he didn't feel anything in his heart, but Uncle Liu secretly scolded his mother in his heart.
Fuck, these bunch of rabbit cubs just don't want to be good, obviously, doing this line of work, is slowly mixed with the owner's wages and food money all year round, now it's okay, and the original form of being fooled by a little white face is revealed.
If the old club knew, what would they think of him?
You must know that in recent years, Xiahuguang has always been led by his Uncle Liu, and the road has always been like this, but I didn't expect the Shaodong family to walk out of extraordinary tricks for the first time.
At noon, he accompanied Liu Shang to listen to Xie Xiang and muttered a little in his heart, he originally wanted to prevaricate some journeys, but those porters were eager for money, and the new bookkeeper hired by Liu Shang was clever and shrewd, so he couldn't prevaricate at all.
The caravan's route map is there, and there is no way to hide how much it takes.
Now it's okay, the one-and-a-half-day trip is a half-day rush to get there, Uncle Liu's heart is congested, he feels that his hard work in the Liu family for so many years may be in vain.
When he arrived at the inn, he didn't wait for the porter to settle the goods, and immediately ordered the little thistle to weigh a lot of wages for a day, and even he, the housekeeper who rode a horse and followed him, had a share.
Liu Shang waved his sleeves, and claimed very boldly that he would give everyone a bonus for the first time today, in order to please a good fortune and encourage everyone to make persistent efforts, everyone will be rewarded with an extra hundred dollars: if you have a daughter-in-law, go back to make good clothes for your daughter-in-law, and if you have a baby, buy some good flat food for the baby.
