The construction of the new port in Guangzhou did not affect the prosperity of the old port, but because of the news of the construction of the new port in Guangzhou, more maritime merchants came to visit, and it seems to be much more lush than before. After all, everyone knows that the amount of silver spent on building a new port is not a small amount, and the Guangdong pacification government was able to take out so much silver like cutting meat, and it did not collect half a cent from ordinary people, obviously attaching great importance to maritime trade.

Although this silver will eventually come out of the maritime merchants, even if a new port is not built in Guangzhou Port, as long as the maritime merchants enter and leave Guangzhou Port, the silver that should be paid is still indispensable, right?

Moreover, some maritime merchants with a keen sense of smell have discovered that since the new pacification envoy arrived in Guangzhou, the Yamen side of the General Department of the City Shipping Department has been much easier to deal with, and the things that were required to eat and take cards in the past are not to say that they have completely eliminated, but they are too much less than the previous Municipal Shipping Division, and now even if they want to send silver, not many people are willing to accept it.

Such a change has undoubtedly increased the confidence of those maritime merchants who come to Guangzhou Port in the future.

Bribery may be profitable for a while, but it is not a long-term solution after all, but those maritime merchants have a scale in their hearts.

The flourishing old port of Guangzhou, together with the new port of Guangzhou, which is being built downstream, shows the vigorous vitality of Guangzhou today. At the same time, it also made many Guangdong people who heard that Lianzhou and Wuping Manichaeism rebelled a lot, after all, everyone knows that the Guangdong pacification embassy can be safely and steadily preparing to build Guangzhou Xingang at this time, and there are so many maritime merchants competing to come, it is obvious that the Guangdong pacification embassy is confident, otherwise it will not be so calm, right?

There are many maritime merchants, many ships dock, and all kinds of coolies on the wharf are becoming more and more prosperous, and at this moment there are countless coolies like worker ants to move the goods transported by the maritime merchants to the warehouse of the wharf for storage.

Most of the many coolies were people from Guangzhou or the nearby state capitals who came to beg for a living. On weekdays, these people eat and live on the wharf, and when there are more ships, they earn more, and when they have fewer ships, they earn less. So the life of these coolies can be imagined. The docks were full of strong men in ragged clothes or simply shirtless, shouting to transport goods down one by one.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, the three figures were particularly conspicuous.

It was three beggars, a man whose faces were unclear, and two equally ragged and dirty children squatting in the shade under the dock.

Beggars are not uncommon in various parts of the Great Song Dynasty, but it is rare to see beggars on the docks. After all, the people who beg for a living on the port wharf are basically poor people who are bitter, and sometimes they can't eat enough, where will there be surplus food for those beggars? And the three beggars obviously didn't mean to beg, but the three quiet people snuggled together, looking at the coolies coming and going with dull eyes.

Before Jia Yidao's carriage arrived at the dock, the Beiwei army had already begun to clear the dock in advance, and the coolies on the dock avoided it one after another.

"It's to appease the adult's dependence."

"The pacification has brought your lordship."

"Why did the appeasement envoy come to the docks?"

"Could it be that some big man is here?"

……

The merchants on the dock were talking, looking with their necks crossed.

Although Jia Rudao has been in Guangzhou for several months, the number of appearances in front of people can be said to be not at all, and because Manichaeism is making waves in Guangdong, and occasionally going out a few times, Jia Rudao is also a light car from Tibet and Tibet, so for the people in Guangzhou, the pacification envoy is actually very mysterious, this should be the first time to see Jia Nidao posing as a guard of honor to pacify the envoy, which naturally surprised everyone.

After hearing the discussion of the people around him, the man holding the two little beggars instantly had a little brightness in his eyes, and looked at the back soldiers who had completed the clearance on the dock and moved back carefully.

Jia Yidao's guard of honor has appeared at the end of the avenue.

The man looked at the guard of honor that was getting closer and closer, and the look in his eyes became more and more excited.

"Adult, please let the adult be the master of the villain."

Just at the stall where the Beiwei army was not paying attention, the man suddenly got out of the gap in the crowd with two children with wooden eyes, and lay down in the middle of the avenue, just in front of the honor guard.

At first, no one noticed the three people who were hiding in the corner of the crowd and huddled up, and the man suddenly rushed out to make all the backers stunned. Immediately reacted, and the sound of "swish" became one. More than ten shiny waist knives instantly surrounded one large, two small and three people in the center.

You can't blame the Beiwei army for making a fuss, but they all know what the situation is in Guangdong now, and the Manichaeans spread rumors everywhere in Guangzhou before, and Jinyiwei and the Guangzhou government sent a large number of people to actually not arrest many people. Now that Jia Yidao's guard of honor appeared on the dock, one big and three small people who looked like beggars suddenly rushed out, and these backstabbing troops couldn't help but be nervous.

After all, there are many Manichaean methods, and no one knows whether it is true or not.

The people who were watching the excitement around suddenly became noisy when they saw such a scene. It's rare to appease the envoy, but something like this happens, which is the best conversation after dinner. And listening to what the beggar said, it was obvious that he had been wronged.

"My lord, I ask you to be the master of dozens of lives for the villain's family. I ask you to call the shots. ”

The man didn't seem to see the more than ten long knives around him, knelt in the middle of the avenue and kept kowtowing and crying.

"Come on, come on, kowtow together, and ask the adults to be the masters of our family."

He didn't count kowtowing himself, he easily pressed the two little beggars who were originally in his arms to the ground, pressed their heads and kept kowtowing on the ground.

The two little beggars, who were originally wooden-eyed, were already frightened when they saw the more than ten bright and dangling long knives around them, and at this moment they were forcibly pressed and kowtowed to the ground by the man, and they suddenly cried in pain.

For such a scene, the man didn't seem to see it, and kept shouting in his mouth, "Ask the adults to be the masters for the students and the grass people", and his body never stopped, he still kept kowtowing, and he also kowtowed to the two children, but after a while, there were already three pools of blood on the bluestone road, and the two children had completely lay on the ground, without any sound.

The man's shouting was bloody, and the listeners were all moved.

The people who were originally noisy and lively around saw this scene and gradually quieted down.

The backs of the three people also looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

If it was really a Manichaean assassin, it would be too realistic.

"Someone is coming, someone is coming, that brother, you look at the child first, and reassure the adults so that they will not ignore you."

"yes, you look at the child first."

There was some commotion in the honor guard, and a few people could be seen coming over, and the people around the onlookers couldn't bear it and dissuaded them.
