Chapter 43 The Convergence of the Mouth Like a River
"If you go to the Malay cow, you can't distinguish it, and you should be clear." Gaoling County, not far from Chang'an City, is the confluence of the Jingshui and Wei Rivers, and is also the largest water freight terminal in Chang'an City. Grain came from the east, and the goods from both sides of Jingwei were gathered in the warehouse here, and then transferred to Chang'an. There are also all kinds of materials that come out of Chang'an, which are loaded on ships and flow to all directions. Dragons and snakes are mixed, busy and noisy, and very prosperous.
In a large warehouse on the shore of the wharf, one green and one yellow, two groups of people stood distinctly, glaring at each other. Behind each of them, wounded companions lay down.
Dressed in Tsing Yi are local Kuhar, whose ancestors have been living by moving and unloading goods at the wharf for generations. The group of men in yellow clothes on the opposite side were a group of outcast coolies. Seeing that there were many opportunities here, I stayed and got a piece of the pie. In order to compete for jobs, the two parties openly and secretly do not know how many times they have fought, disturbing the dock often in a mess and bleeding all over the place.
This time, the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce released a word, and the two gangs would only leave one gang, and the salary would be increased by 20%. Those who dare to make trouble can't drink a mouthful of soup. Kuhar on both sides scraped together some broken silver and copper coins and wanted to bribe the steward of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, but they were all thrown out without anyone looking at them.
So the two sides decided to send eleven people to duel on the one hand, regardless of life or death. The victorious slipped off, and the defeated left the dock and found another way.
Jiao Kun of the Tsing Yi Gang is less than thirty years old, but he has led the Tsing Yi Gang for five years. At this time, he saw that he had already injured four people, and he was defeated for a while. I was a little anxious, and I glanced at my younger brother Jiao Sheng, who was eager to try, and with a wave of his hand, he was ready to send him up to fight for a while.
Jin Huazi of the Yellow Clothes Gang, but he is much more sophisticated, and immediately sent his subordinates to fight the most capable two fierce sons.
"Hey! This wild dog grabs food, and it's boring to watch too much. "I walked behind and followed Liuzi, I don't know when I came in, standing on the warehouse container, shaking my head.
"What did you say!" Jiao Kun's eyes were red, and he looked at the road viciously. The brothers under him are working hard for life, but they are said to be wild dogs robbing food by this wild boy who came out of nowhere, and Jiao Kun is ready to slaughter this vicious boy with his own hands.
"Isn't it? On weekdays, as soon as those cargo ships and carts arrived, they scattered a handful of copper. You grabbed your head and broke your blood, and now you have only increased your wages by 20%, so let you fight for your life here, you will live and die. What is not a dingo? ”;
Lu Lu showed a sarcastic look on his face and said mercilessly.
"I wait for Kuhar, relying on strength to eat, although life is cheap, but it should not be humiliated. Boy, don't you want to walk out of here standing today! Jiao Kun said as he took out a wrist-untying knife.
"Haha, hahaha! Some time ago, I walked out of a temple in Chang'an City, and I was at a loss. Think of everyone outside the royal family as lackeys. But my brother told me that he had always treated himself as a human being. It dawned on me that no matter what others think or think, we must treat ourselves as human beings. Do you still think you are human? ”;
Lu Lu patted Saturday Zi on the shoulder, turned his head to look at the group of bitter hars, and asked loudly.
"Labor and management are naturally people; Labor and management don't steal or rob, rely on the strength to eat, why are they not people! The bitter har on both sides roared excitedly.
"Since you think you are a human being, why should those people throw a handful of silver and leave like an uncle. We worked hard to help them carry them up and down, and the damage was doubled, and we carried it ourselves if we were injured. Why is it that the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce said a word, and we are here to fight you to the death. You are dead and wounded, what will happen to the children and the old in the family! ”;
At the moment, he was dancing with his hands, as if he was even angrier than those bitter harnesses.
Kuhar'er's eyes were red, her heart was fragile and those who couldn't afford to be hurt, and she sobbed in a low voice, and even Jiao Kun was fixed there, looking very dazed.
Jin Huazi's mind turned quickly, and he asked cautiously: "Listening to what Shaoxia said, it came from the view of Chang'an City." Is that the one who is willing to take care of our bitter affairs? ”
I picked up the Qiushui sword and lit it up: "A few days ago, I used this sword to cut off three heads in the Niangniang Temple outside Chang'an City, Yi Tianchi of the Huazi Gang and his two henchmen. Why you killed him, I think you all know it. I killed someone, and now I'm still here, do you think I'm full and have nothing to do? ”
"What does the one in the view want us to do?" Jin Huazi was a little confused, how could such a high god pay attention to this.
"Since you all think of yourself as human beings, why do you charge how much you are paid, and the priority of the goods cannot be decided by us!" After the road, he no longer looked at Jin Huazi, but turned his head to bewitch this large group of bitter hars.
"How can this work, in case those chambers of commerce don't pay us, the whole family will drink the northwest wind." Someone in the crowd muttered quietly.
"Don't give! If you don't throw picks with everyone, you won't do it. If you don't do it for a day, at most a few coppers, those chambers of commerce will not only lose tens of millions of copper coins, but also lose their reputation. You say, "If you get out, who is afraid of whom!" "When he passed, his face was red and his ears were red, and he roared loudly.
"Since ancient times, the people have not fought with the officials, and the poor have not fought with the rich, what if they collude with the government to arrest us?" Jin Liuzi said worriedly.
Lu raised the Qiushui Sword and let him see the phoenix pattern on it clearly: "What does this represent, it represents impartiality!" Got it? ”
"Damn, after so many years of bird anger, labor and management can't stand it anymore. Shaoxia, what do you say, I, Jiao Kun, did it with you! Jiao Kun's face was flushed and he said excitedly.
After passing by, he calmed down at this time, and waved his hand with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry, we have to sort out a charter, and the total number of good students will be total." In addition, there is not enough work to do here, so people who are idle can go to the West Market, and there is less work to move up and down? ”
This sweet jujube was thrown down, and this group of bitter hars hesitated a little: "There are a lot of lives in the West Market, but will the Huazi Gang and Qingyun find us trouble?" ”
"The Youth Games are only responsible for maintaining order and mediating disputes, and the Hanako Gang has other things to do, so they won't interfere with you." Lu said with a smile.
In the living room of the Changfeng Dart Bureau, the chief dart heads of several dart bureaus near the West Market are sitting here, listening to the mouth of the road.
"The Four Seas Chamber of Commerce has a deep background, and the escort team is extremely elite, and no one dares to move when they go all over Datang. It's not surprising that some chambers of commerce want to attach their tails, so that as soon as the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce comes out, it will be a super-large caravan, and if this continues, everyone's dart will come to eat more and more.
Therefore, you can only join forces to open a special store in the West Market and receive commissions in a unified manner. In this way, one can avoid vicious competition with each other and waste manpower and material resources. Second, it can integrate forces, strengthen the ability to guard, accept greater commissions, and go farther. Third, it is convenient for merchants, and there is no need to go all the way to find and compare dart games from one by one.
In this way, I don't believe it, aren't you as professional as the guards of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce? ”;
When I passed, my mouth was dry. Picked up the teacup and took a big sip without any image.
"The escort team of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce is equipped with a strong crossbow in the army, and they dare not touch it when idle bandits touch it. We dart games are united, and I don't know if the one in the view can get a few for us, even if it's a dilapidated one from the army. ”;
Liu Changfeng, the head of the Changfeng Dart Bureau, looked envious and asked tentatively.
"I still have to go to the temple to ask for instructions. But I have a way to make your guards much stronger. You dart board chambers, when you rest at night, always have a long line on the road. When bandits and bandits come, they often take care of one thing and lose sight of the other, and they can't take care of each other.
In the future, you remember to form a circle with a carriage, and the people stay in the middle, and when the bandits and bandits come, the bow and arrow can hold down the formation. If there is a strong crossbow again, this Tang Dynasty territory, where can it go. ”;
As he spoke, he circled the teacups of those darts heads, and his eyes lit up when he saw them.
In a Hu Renya shop in the West Market, Adili looked at the bustling and lively West Market reluctantly, a place where he had stayed for nearly 20 years. In a few days, he will be gone. With a full 5,000 taels of silver and some pearl treasures sent by the big shopkeeper of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, he left this place where he had struggled for fifteen years and returned to the Western Regions to become a rich man.
Looking at those enthusiastic, chubby Hu businessmen, and Hu Renya people who worked hard to translate. Adiri can no longer stand up for them, reason for them, shed blood for them, and protect them. He is no longer the respected and impartial Adili in the eyes of the Hu brothers.
"What did you come to me for? Dear Tang brothers, Seeing the way in with a smile, Adili bowed slightly and asked politely.
"Without him, I just want to tell a story to the just Mr. Adili, would you like to hear it?" I sat down leisurely.
Adiri's eyes swept away, and he saw the sword on Lu Li's body, and also saw the clear phoenix pattern. He smiled quietly: "This story must be interesting, Adiri is willing to listen to it." ”
"Once upon a time, in the far west, there were two brothers. After their father died, they left them a lot of inheritances. The eldest son used the inheritance to buy a lot of land, cattle and sheep, and lived a wealthy and respectable life. The second son is bold, likes to make friends, and is very righteous. Use your belongings to help your brothers and friends in need.
One day, a powerful tribe in the neighborhood broke into the place where they lived. The eldest son's family was brutally killed, and the land, cattle and sheep were also taken away. The second son raised his arms and shouted, and countless brothers and friends gathered. They fought back the invading tribe and finally stormed the tribe and robbed them of their wealth. In the end, the second son built a powerful empire and became the Khan. ”
As he spoke, he looked at Adili leisurely.
Adili thought for a while, and a burst of sweat broke out on his forehead: "The story of this Tang son is very interesting, Adiri has already figured it out." ”
A few days later, the reception hall of the Changfeng Dart Bureau was almost full. Hu Yun of the Qingyun Society, Guo Yan of the Huazi Gang, Jiao Kun of Kuhar, and Jin Huazi. Adili of Hu Renyaxing, as well as the chief dart head of other dart games, everyone's eyes looked at the old shopkeeper Yang of the carriage and horse shop.
Old Shopkeeper Yang didn't want to come to this party, but these gangs were in trouble together, and he didn't dare not come, so he had to come. Otherwise, even with the support of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, his business would not be able to continue.
"Old Yang Tou, the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce has given you great benefits, and it is nothing for you to obey their orders. But you can live alone without these brothers? He sat in the middle of the hall and said lightly.
"Lu Junshi, if I don't listen to the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, how can this business survive." Shopkeeper Yang reached out to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.
"If I say that after a while, the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce itself will be anxious, do you believe it?" Passing by, he played with the teacup, looking confident.
Seeing the sneers on the faces of the rest of the people, the old shopkeeper Yang felt a chord in his heart: "Lu Junshi!" I'm not completely deaf and blind, they have all gained a lot of benefits, what are the benefits of my car and horse dealers? ”
"Chang'an City is very large, one hundred and eight squares, more than 10,000 people. Since the carriage and horse shop can run long-distance passenger transportation, why can't it run passenger transportation in Chang'an City. ”;
As he spoke, he threw a simple drawing to the shopkeeper Yang.
Old Shopkeeper Yang looked at it for a while, his eyes lit up, and he looked at the road fixedly: "Where is the official mansion?" ”
"What is good for the country and the people, how can the government not support it." The road was raised, and the long sword was raised.
