Song Wenxian's home was in Dengzhou City, but it was obvious that more than 10,000 taels of silver outside the city were more important to Song Wenxian, so he went out of the city with Chen Xin, hired a carriage outside the Chunsheng Gate in the east, and drove to the bay where the Zhuyin ship was moored. Chen Xin expressed his admiration for his spirit of passing through the door without entering and sharing the spoils wholeheartedly.

Because the silver of the Zhuyin ship could not see the light, Song Wenxian did not plan to save this attention-grabbing stolen money in the money bank in Dengzhou, and the others were on the Zhuyin ship, and he couldn't get the silver in front of everyone, so he decided to go to Tianjin with Chen Xin as originally planned, and by the way, help Chen Xin get through the relationship with Tianjin.

Other Han Bin and others, are living near Dengzhou, Fu Boat usually docked in Dengzhou, after yesterday docking, Song Wenxian disbanded them, Han Bin saw Chen Xin follow Song Wenxian to visit Haiphong Road, he knew that his ambitions were in vain, and he might not follow Chen Xin to do sea trade in the future, and he hated to go. Black Cannon and Scar, as well as Lao Wang, were also transferred to the Zhuyin ship because they wanted to go back to Tianjin to help handle the funeral affairs of Zhao Dong's family.

After the carriage walked for more than half an hour, Song Wenxian took Chen Xin to get out of the car, walked along the mountain road for about two quarters of an hour, and came to a bay, where the Zhu Yin boat was quietly moored, the official flag of Dengzhou Haiphong Road was hung on the mast, and there were a few children herding cattle on the mountain looking at the big ship curiously.

On the deck, Zhu Guobin and Lu Donkey were waiting anxiously, and when they saw the two of them coming, they hurriedly put down the boat and pulled the two up.

"Mr. Song, Mr. Chen, are you still smooth?" Scar knew the situation and asked the two as soon as he came.

Chen Xin nodded and said, "Shun lì, Mr. Song is now Sun Futai's staff, everyone will have to point to Mr. Song when they eat in the future." ”

Song Wenxian also squinted his eyes and said: "What is the role of an unemployed staff, let me tell everyone, Brother Chen is already a hundred households in Weihaiwei, and he will come down after a while, everyone must remember to call the hundred households in the future." Maybe I'll be calling Senho-sama soon. ”

"Congratulations to Mr. Chen!" "Congratulations, congratulations."

Everyone had a good impression of Chen Xindu along the way, and they were sincerely happy for him at this time, especially Lu Donkey and Qin Lufang, their faces were flushed with joy, and Lu Donkey also slapped his face like the three little followers, although the hundred households with military membership are not real power figures, but they are not officials after all.

Chen Xin left and right: "Thank you, when you arrive in Tianjin, my brother will be a host, please appreciate your face and rest when you are drunk." ”

"Definitely, definitely." Everyone is elated, this time there was a setback on the road, everyone was panicked, now there is finally a good result, the income is also very good, there are a few people on this boat who plan to follow Chen Xin, Chen Xin now has an official position, and everyone will have a way out in the future.

Wang Zugui said to Chen Xin: "Brother Chen, I'll get off the boat first, I want to send back the ashes of my brothers in the same village, as well as silver, next time I'm going to go to sea, I just say hello, Brother Black Cannon and Brother Scar know the place." ”

Chen Xin hugged his fists at him and said, "Brother Wang, is your home far away?" So many silver taels, I'll send you back and go again. ”

Wang Zugui showed a somewhat embarrassed expression, his family is a fisherman near Dengzhou, not far from here, but the silver taels are indeed a bit much, he and the same village add up to more than two thousand taels, **ten kilograms, and take the brother's ashes.

Song Wenxian saw that Chen Xin wanted to be a good person again, and persuaded on the side: "Brother Chen, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, there is a village on the road, let people accompany Brother Wang to the village to hire two porters." ”

Chen Xin thought about it, there were a lot of silver taels on the ship, and now there were less than ten people, so it was really not suitable to stay for a long time, so he said to Lu Donkey and Zhu Guobin: "Brother Zhu, Brother Lu, please accompany Brother Wang to hire people, and I will pay for the hired people's silver." Brother Wang, don't show your wealth along the way, others want to ask, just say that it is something like a squirrel. ”

"Okay."

"Thank you, Brother Chen."

The two helped Wang Zugui carry the silver ashore, climbed all the way up the mountain, and disappeared behind the ridge.

"Brother Chen is thoughtful, and he will definitely make a difference in his official career in the future."

Chen Xin smiled slightly, he knew what Song Wenxian meant, the two people he found to accompany Wang Zugui were very murderous people, as long as these two people followed, it meant that someone knew where the village was, and the hired villagers would not dare to fight Wang Zugui's idea on the road.

Song Wenxian continued: "It's just that Brother Wei doesn't understand, why Brother Chen chose Weihaiwei, there are also Dengzhou Weiwei in this Dengzhou City, which is closer to the adults and has more opportunities for promotion." ”

"Mr. Song, from Tianjin to Weihaiwei, it takes five or six days as fast as possible, and eight or nine days as slow as possible, and if you have a small port of your own near Weihaiwei, you can replenish the ships with fresh water and food, so that you can carry more goods when you are in Tianjin. On the way back, you can rest and replenish there, and it is only a two-day sea trip from Dengzhou, so it is convenient to meet all the adults, so I chose this place. ”

Song Wenxian listened to Chen Xin's words, and thought that this was indeed the case, if he could load less water and food, he could make more money.

Chen Xin didn't tell Song Wenxian what he really thought, he wanted to stay away from those adults, and he was not constrained on weekdays, the previous model of Zhao Dong's family was usually scattered, gathered when he went to sea, it was easy to leak news, not to mention, the manpower was also scattered, there were really people to deal with him, there were only a few people in Tianjin to help, once they made money, maybe some people would not come anymore. If there is a place of its own, the manpower is concentrated, it will have its own power, and Weihai is located at the eastern end of Shandong, and the land transportation is not convenient, and the quiet development of strength will not attract attention. Even if it's a mess, it's easier to run away when the Tartars come in the future.

"Brother Chen thinks about it, and he is really more thoughtful than me."

Chen Xin asked Song Wenxian about the situation of Weihaiwei again, and Song Wenxian was not too clear, only saying that Weihaiwei seemed to be smaller than the general health center, and it was not the five thousand households of the general health center. Nowadays, the officials of the guard center are not worth much, and as long as the governor takes care of them, the officials in the guard center do not dare to embarrass them.

While the two were talking, Lu Donkey and Zhu Guobin had already returned, and when they got on the deck, everyone pulled up the sails together, and the eleven people on the boat worked hard to finally raise the two hard sails.

"We're home!!" Chen Xin shouted loudly at the bow of the boat, the turmoil and bloodshed along the way finally passed, and the way home was in front of him, Ning Cheng, Lu Donkey and others all screamed loudly, venting the excitement in their hearts, and the Zhuyin boat sailed out of the bay and drove towards Tianjin by the wind......

"Dog, don't train today, just help your brother Zhou cut fabrics in the shop."

"Oh, but Brother Chen said that he would train every day."

"Now the clothing store is too busy, you can stop for a few days."

"Then I'll practice by myself after work at night, okay."

"Okay, then."

In the second street at night, a few torches were lit in the courtyard, and several lanterns were hung, which were brightly illuminated, Liu Min had sweat on his forehead, and a long platform was built with wooden boards in the courtyard, and the sea dog and Zhang Erhui took a piece of paper to compare, and made a mark on a piece of cloth, Wang Daixi and Zhou Laifu were cutting with scissors, Zhou Laifu and Jiang Wang's wife were sewing sleeves, and Dai Zhenggang was clumsily ironing clothes with an iron (Note 1) by another small wooden table, and the ground was full of scraps. The yard, which was originally quite wide, looked crowded and noisy.

Several towel and hat shops next to it are also brightly lit, all working overtime, Liu Minyou outsources most of the clothes to them, and also does some in his own store, the business is too good these days, everyone is tired.

At this time, Zhou Laifu stared at a pair of panda eyes, he has been working at night in Liu Min's orchid clothing shop these days, and he has to go to work on Dongmen Street during the day, and he rotates every day, but for the sake of the piecework fee of five points per piece, he has worked hard to do it, and if he makes a few pieces a night, he will have a few dollars of silver, and his income in the past 20 days has been five or six taels of silver, plus his wife is also doing handyman here, adding up to more than seven taels, he still thinks it is worth it.

Deng Keshan hurriedly ran in from the open door, also covered with sweat, said hello to everyone, and ran to Liu Minyou's side and asked, "Brother Liu, are the three pieces of Mrs. Tian ordered three days ago ready?" ”

Liu Minyou stared at the reddened eyes, took out the booklet, he drew the form he was familiar with a pen, and turned to the order three days ago, and the status was still ordered, and he hadn't even prepared the materials.

"I haven't done it yet, where is the time now. Eighty pieces of Linqing merchants have not been completed, yesterday you went to the dock to pick up an order from a Beijing merchant, and you want fifty pieces at a time, and you said that the merchant can't wait, and the ship will leave tomorrow afternoon at the latest, isn't this all in the rush for your two businesses. ”

Deng Keshan took Liu Minyou's booklet, he studied for a few days, he could already understand the two-dimensional table, scratched his head and said: "I forgot, but it's really difficult to do, the seller hasn't done it three days ago, and I have brought back more than 30 pieces in the past two days." Can we find more people to do it, like this kind of cutting, you can find some mother-in-law and aunts to help, Brother Zhou's is good to specialize in cardboard. ”

Because everyone has a different size, the clothing stores of this era are made according to the size, because silk satin and other materials are very expensive, in order to avoid mistakes and waste of materials, in advance to cut cardboard according to the size, and then cut the cloth compared to cardboard, Liu Min has no experience in clothing, there is no way to make several specifications like later generations, so each piece of clothing has to be remade into cardboard, and the production of cardboard can only be done by professional tailors like Zhou Shifa, so it is limited by the number of tailors, and it is difficult to increase production.

Liu Minyou regrets it now, he knew that the business was so good, he should have set a large, medium and small size, how could he be so busy, he is also changing it now, and the two batches of goods for Linqing and Jingshi began to use fixed specifications.

He listened to Deng Keshan's words and said impatiently: "It's easy for you to say, everything you can find in this neighborhood has been found, and now every towel and hat shop is making our clothes, you haven't seen a few tailors from Liye Fang come to work at night, where else to find someone." None of the mothers-in-law and aunts are willing to work at night. Also, the carpenter Yuan is tired and sick, I went to his house just now, and I can't do carpentry for the past two days, and I don't know what to do with the hanger. ”

Liu Minyou glared at Deng Keshan a few times after speaking, but found that there was a black blue on his forehead, and he couldn't help but wonder: "Brother Deng, what is your forehead?" Caught fire again? ”

Deng Keshan looked angry: "It's not that Shen Lou, you know that the Zhangjia scarf and hat shop next door to me also set up a wooden platform, and invited Li Tailor from Liye Workshop to do night work, the voice is a little louder, then Shen Lou will scold every night and say something cool......"

"You got into a fight with him?" As soon as Liu Min heard Shen Lou, he remembered that Shen Li, the lady of the Shen family, was busy every day and hadn't seen it for a long time.

"I was going to beat him, but before I could do it, his wife persuaded him, and he beat him in the house, I couldn't listen, so I went to the door to persuade him, and he just fell out of a bowl and smashed me into a big bag. If it weren't for Brother Liu, you said hello, don't be like him, Lao Tzu would have dragged him out and beaten him half to death. ”

Liu Minyou hurriedly persuaded: "Brother Deng, don't care, he didn't mean it, their family has no income now, it's also difficult, let's do it so late every night, it really disturbs people's rest." ”

Deng Keshan suddenly patted his head: "Hey, how did you forget the two women of the Shen Lou family, they have no income, aren't they just called to be handymen......

Liu Min looked at Deng Keshan in surprise: "What did you call his wife to come out to do, she was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face when she came to serve a bowl of meat that day, and asked her to do handymen all day long, Brother Deng thinks she has lived for a long time?" ”

"Look at what you said, no matter how you say it, you have to eat, his mother is a good person, she cried when she talked to me last time, saying that there is not much money, Shen Lou can't do anything anyway, she is afraid that she will sit and eat empty, and if she doesn't come out to work, he Shen Lou will not be able to make money."

"That's right." Liu Minyou hesitated again, "Then you have to tell Shen Lou to make it, don't burden Shen Niangzi to suffer." ”

"I, Deng Daodao, Brother Liu, can rest assured. I've been going to other shops nearby these days to have a look, and I'm willing to do it together, really, I'm going to the dock every day to do what Brother Liu said, what kind of exhibition, and I'm looking for work everywhere, Brother Liu, you said, this business is also a hard job. Deng Keshan smiled happily.
