Yucheng is also known as Bayu, located in the southwest of China's inland, east of the north of the jaw, south of Hunan, south of Guizhou, west of Xichuan, north of Shaanxi, is the southwest region of the east and west, the hub of the north and south, here there is Daba Mountain in the north, Wushan in the east, Wuling Mountain in the southeast, Da Lou Mountain in the south, and the Yangtze River, Jialing River, Wujiang River, Fujiang River, Qijiang River, Daning River, Apeng River, Youshui River and other rivers enter the country, it is the exit artery of the east of Xichuan.

However, before it became the capital of the Anti-Japanese War and a large number of people moved in, it could only be regarded as a new port city, and it was not particularly famous.

But after all, it is a transportation artery, and in addition to the locals, there are also a large number of outsiders here - merchants and peddlers, soldiers and guns, coolies running the docks, students and all kinds of people gathered in one place, and there are various gangs, organizations and government personnel mixed in.

It has been more than two months since Gan Mo came to Yucheng.

At the beginning, he was escorted by Mao Pingli, the elder brother of the Qiancheng Pai Sect, and came from the waterway, originally thinking that it was just an ordinary journey, but it became wonderful because he met a Taoist priest surnamed Mo on the way.

Especially in the dangerous shoal tiger jumping stream, the veteran Mao Pingli tried his best, but he couldn't fight the fierce crocodile evil, and the beast almost killed Mao Pingli, but as soon as the Taoist priest made a move, he brushed two swords and killed the famous evil man.

Not only that, but he also took out a string of demon pills from the evil brain, hung half his life on the bow of the Mao boat on Huangquan Road, and saved him with another boatman.

It's just that the Taoist priest who showed his ability did not continue to walk with them, but left adrift.

Kill one person in ten steps, and don't stay for a thousand miles.

Brushing off the clothes and going away, hiding deep with the name.

What a state this was, everyone was amazed, and the little carpenter Gan Mo also felt deep regret for his reckless refusal.

If he had agreed to the Taoist priest's words, he would have been able to have such a means of seizing heaven and earth in the future.

But after the chagrin, he didn't indulge, after all, everyone has their own life.

His master is Lu Da, and this is his life.

There is no need to envy others.

After the Taoist priest surnamed Mo left, the sectarians dragged the evil corpse and arrived at a dock on the road ahead.

When they brought the evil corpse ashore, it caused a huge sensation, and people from the nearby villages rushed over to help the old and the young, and came to see the strangeness.

Mao Pingli's injury was helped by the demon pill, and after a day of recuperation, he was almost well and continued to sail.

After arriving in Yudu, the official who came from Yucheng also arrived, followed by a master from Qingcheng Mountain.

The master examined the corpse of the evil spirit, and told everyone that this thing had become a demon, and it was quite fierce, and even if he fought this thing in the water, he was afraid that he would not be able to escape with his whole body.

The master who came down from Qingcheng Mountain was really a sincere person, and as soon as these words came out, they immediately caused a sensation.

People want to know who killed this demon.

Mao Pingli didn't want to, and he didn't dare to take the risk, so he told the truth, as for who the person's surname was, he was also confused, and the official family heard about it, and regretted that he couldn't meet with the master, and then took away the body of the demon.

However, they were not stingy, and gave Mao Pingli a large share of the reward, and everyone on the ship had a share, and also awarded the pennant to Mao Pingli, who had fought with his own hands, and the boatman.

The pennant wrote eight big characters: "Eliminate harm for the people, subdue demons and eliminate demons!" ”

Hey, although Mao Pingli was injured, he received a reward, and if he took this pennant home, he could blow it for half his life and make a name for them.

The rest of the matter is much more plain, Mao Pingli sent Gan Mo to Chaotianmen, where the city wall has not been demolished and a large wharf has been built, but it can already be seen that the high stone ridge, hundreds of ships docked here, the laborers come to unload the goods with sampans, and there is a hot scene everywhere.

When I looked at the city gate, I saw all kinds of buildings, high and low, and the black-tiled roofs were lined up one after another, until they reached the side of the mountain far, far away.

Gan Mo came to Yucheng once, and that was when he was seven or eight years old, and he followed his master to repair a demon tower here.

At that time, he spent most of his time at the construction site, busy with the master, and his memory was not much, but he remembered that after the repair, the top of the tower was full of green qi soaring into the sky, and many people saw it at that time, and they were amazed.

Several leading figures in charge of the organization also invited his master to drink wine for three days and three nights.

Gan Mo was under the table, picking up meat and bones for three days to eat, and the taste was simply delicious for him at that time.

After many years, Gan Mo came to this city again, but he felt that there were many changes, which was related to the fact that he spent most of his time on the construction site, and also had something to do with his age.

For him, this place is another strange place.

However, he has followed his master everywhere over the years, and he is not a person who is afraid of change, so he returned to Yucheng without anxiety.

He knew a few people in Yucheng, and they were all his master's relationship, but on the way here, the little carpenter thought clearly, and he decided to support himself, get rid of the protection of his master, and try to survive in this huge place by himself, and strive to live better.

And in addition to finding a job, he also has one more thing, that is, he has read the Luban book on his body thoroughly.

It's all about ability.

Gan Mo had a sum of money in his hand, which was his master's, in fact, enough for him to spend for a long time, but he was not willing to spend it, and on the night he arrived in Yuzhou, he rented a room near Chaotianmen and settled down.

The next day, he began to look for work on the streets.

He first found a job as a laborer at Chaotianmen Wharf, worked for three days in a row, and after figuring out the situation of the territory, he found a construction site under construction and negotiated a carpentry job with the contractor of the construction site.

At the beginning, the foreman didn't believe the young Ganmo, and felt that this kid was just fooling him and talking big.

The man didn't give Gan Mo a chance at all, and he was about to pick up someone when he opened his mouth.

At this time, Gan Mo, who had been with Lu Da all the year round, finally gave full play to his insight, and he pointed to the huge construction site that was messed up, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and said a total of eight potential safety hazards, as well as a waste of manpower.

Immediately afterwards, under the stunned gaze of the contractor, he picked out three structural mistakes.

If this mistake persists and is not corrected, it can easily cause major problems or even collapse.

For this, the foreman did not dare to slack off, and asked the master inspector to ask, the master supervisor was not impressed at first, and after careful measurement, he realized that what the young man said was true.

At this point, the foreman couldn't intervene, and it was the turn of the master overseer to talk to Gan Mo.

He is responsible for the design, supervision and follow-up acceptance of the overall project, generally speaking, there will be a team, which is bricks, tiles, mud and wood, all kinds of craftsmen have, and then temporarily find some laborers to do the work, you can save up into a construction site.

Lu Da, the master of the little carpenter, was in the Liu family's new house in Sandaokan Town, and he did this job.

As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he knows if there is one, Gan Mo has followed Lu Da for many years, not only learned the methods of the rivers and lakes, but also the Lu Banjiao is a craftsman, and all kinds of crafts are inherited, and these jobs are its real social value.

The little carpenter has been diligent since he was a child, and he is willing to teach, so from front to back, he actually understands the entire engineering process and technology, but he is the most specialized in this carpenter's work.

The master craftsman came over and talked to Gan Mo, Gan Mo didn't dare to report Lu Da's name because of Zhang Qiming's relationship, and fabricated a person, but the whole child had the ability, and after listening to it, the master craftsman rubbed his hands and told the contractor that this young man's work as a carpenter was more than enough.

In fact, there is no problem for him to come and take his place.

Hearing this, the foreman of the contractor had the confidence to give Gan Mo a good salary, and let him stay in the construction site, mainly to do the carpenter's work, and also to help the master craftsman to check and fill in the gaps.

The little carpenter Gan Mo is an expert in his work, and his temperament is relatively gentle, and he has advanced and retreated, and within a few days, he has become one with the team on the construction site.

Stemming from Lu Da's knowledge and technical level, even the master engineer named Zhang Shuiyu was very polite to him.

This construction site is the money of Huzhou people, and when it is completed, it will be called the Lake Chamber of Commerce.

Hushang is the largest group of people in Zhejiang, tracing back, we have to say that Shen Wansan, a native of Huzhou at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, went to modern times, with the rapid rise of the silk merchants in Nanxun Town at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the rise of capitalism and the early opening of the port, so that the Huzhou business community represented by the Nanxun silk merchants came into contact with the modern trend of thought in the West and actively participated in the revolution.

For example, most of the revolutionary funds of the Father of the Nation were raised and donated by Huzhou silk merchants led by Zhang Jingjiang.

Later, Hushang was also one of the backbones of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang consortium, the financial pillar of the Republic of China, and was the main financial support for Mr. Jiang later.

In a word, the boss behind the construction site, the thief has money, because it is wide, so there are many ways to live.

Because he needed to study Luban's book, Gan Mo did not live in the shack, but lived in the house he rented before, and as for the tiger skin fat cat, he followed him most of the time, but he didn't do anything, always looking for a place to lazily bask in the sun.

At first, the workers were very curious about this guy, but after trying the cold of this little beast, they were not interested.

Gan Mo stayed in the construction site for two months, and the wind was very good, and on this day, a group of strange people came to the construction site, and the leader was a man with a high nose and blue eyes and very white skin.

The little carpenter Gan Mo glanced at it, thinking that this guy, isn't it the Westerner that Qu Menghu said?
