Chapter 165: Jiujiang Shipping

"Haha!" Xu Hao smiled, looked at him playfully and said, "What? Just since I killed those two thieves, you think I'm a good person? For many years, few people have called me that. ”

Such a bold look. In an instant, the two in front of him relaxed more and more.

"Alright. Xu Hao turned his head, looked at the coachman and said, "You still need to improve in dealing with emergencies! Although you can't fight those two guys, you must not ignore them! At least you have to warn." I will not pursue you for this matter, but if you do it again, you will not be spared!"

"Yes!" The old man was shocked, where did he dare to slack off? This is definitely Xu Hao, the owner of his own car dealership, and his job is all up to him.

If not, the whole family will be miserable.

"What's your name and what are you doing?" Xu Hao turned around and asked in a low voice, he was more curious about the young man, and there were not many young people who had the courage at the critical moment.

The young man did not hesitate, and replied loudly: "My name is Zhou Zhe." If you come to Liaocuo Town to find living skills, I hope to learn some skills to earn chewing grain, dare to ask my eldest brother your surname?"

"My surname is Xu. Xu Hao nodded, looked at the coachman and said, "Okay, let's continue to go." ”

Where did the coachman dare to slack off, he immediately got into the car, waved the horsewhip, and the three of them continued to move forward.

The wheels of the car turned, and the road was bumpy.

"Brother Xu, Brother Xu, are you a martial artist? Just now you actually beat two strong men to death empty-handed, it's too powerful!" Zhou Zhe sat in the car with a face full of admiration, and he sighed with envy: "If only I had this ability......"

"Huh. Xu Hao shook his head and looked at Zhou Zhe: "You are older, and it is a little late to practice martial arts." ”

In fact, this is already a consolation, some people have the possibility of practicing martial arts even if they are eighteen or nineteen years old.

But Xu Hao's experience is sophisticated, although he can't judge other people's qualifications and grades with the naked eye alone, but who is not the material for martial arts training at a glance, he can still see that he is not far from ten.

Zhou Zhe is thin, like a thin monkey, with thin yellow muscles and weak movements, no explosive power at all, as if his qualifications will never be good.

"Alas......" Zhou Zhe sighed, but he was not depressed, obviously he should not have had much hope.

"I can only try my luck in Liao Cuo Town, in case I can find a good job and live decently. ”

For untouchables, the most likely way out is to find a good owner when they work, and if they are re-made as a shopkeeper, they will also have no worries about food and clothing.

"Are you literate?Do you have any specific goals before you come?" Xu Hao stared ahead and talked to him peacefully, without any shelf, the two of them were like those equal bitter haha in the car, there was no difference in identity.

Speaking of this, Zhou Zhe immediately became proud, raised his head and smiled: "My family was also a rich family back then, and I studied for a few years. It's a pity, later my father was a gambler, and the family was defeated, and my mother also ran away, and I did a lot of work, all of which were coolies. This time I inquired, Jiujiang shipping qualifications are very old, business across several countries, is the Huo family's industry, as well as Longjiang shipping and Yang sailing ship, although only Qingxiao domestic, but based on many years, in addition, I heard that the recent rise of Luojiang shipping is also good, although the scale is not as good as the previous few but the momentum is very strong. ”

Xu Hao raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "Oh?

mentioned this, but it seemed to instantly uncover Zhou Zhe's sore spots, making him instantly depressed.

"What's the goal? He shook his head helplessly, and sighed: "It's all just a dream, these firms are not what I can do, whether it is the accounting room or the shopkeeper, the foreman and coolie are not good at my body, I have done a lot of work before, but unfortunately I am tired and vomit blood in a few weeks......"

"Huh. Xu Hao smiled, and it could be seen from this kid's yellow-skinned appearance that he would definitely not be able to do coolies.

"I happen to be going to Luojiang for shipping, so we can go together. ”

"Really?" Zhou Zhe was overjoyed and said excitedly: "Big brother, you are also going to apply for the escort of the ship, right?

There are bandits on the land, and the river is also not peaceful, and each ship company will also send warriors to the ship in addition to dealing with all forces.

Especially those big ships that sail far away, they need a lot of guards, otherwise even if there is a dot, it will inevitably have an accident!

Xu Hao smiled and did not respond.

The two sat in a spacious carriage and soon arrived in Liao Cuo Town, where the morning was busy with the smell of medicine, and a large number of coolies carried large bags and small bags to help the employer carry the goods.

Workers are very good at finding work, working from morning to noon, but they can exhaust people to death in a short time, and they can't do it if they are weak.

You can earn more than a dozen copper plates a day, spend one copper plate to wash in the town's big bathhouse, and then drink a bowl of tea and ask the man to buy a bowl of meat noodles, and after eating and drinking, there are seven or eight copper plates left.

The Gu family will save up the money, and if they are more generous, they will take out one or two pieces to listen to the play or reward the street performers. The streets of Liaocuo Town are very lively in the afternoon, largely because of the support of these people.

In order to save on the cost of carriage and horses, they would work for three or two days before returning home, which also made the hotel industry in Datongpu quite prosperous.

Of course, everything behind this originated from the medicinal herb trade.

Xu Hao took Zhou Zhe down from the carriage and walked between the streets, it was not the first time he had come, but he felt more and more that this Liao Cuo Town was more prosperous than before.

The original town has now become a trading center for medicinal herbs, and now it has even begun to develop gradually, and it has the potential to become a small cloud city.

"It's so lively...... Zhou Zhe walked around, his eyes were full of envy, every family had an account room or shopkeeper with an abacus in his hand, dressed decently, standing on the side of the road to direct the entry and exit of goods.

In his view, that is the life of man.

Especially for those who are in the middle of the family, wanting to revive the family is the most important thing in their hearts.

The two walked and watched, and went straight to the north of the town. Adjacent to the Tuoluo River, there is the wharf of Liao Cuo Town, where all the medicinal materials are transported by water and unloaded at the wharf.

A large number of ships docked on the shore, including small boats carrying people, and more often merchant ships carrying goods, the largest of which was three floors, surrounded by anti-collision iron armor, thick and sturdy, and more than the painting boats.

Even Xu Hao was secretly amazed, thinking that each of these ships was worth a lot of money! No wonder a warrior was needed to escort the ship with him. If the cargo is lost and the ship is in an accident, the damage will be incalculable!

The coolies were the most numerous here, carrying large bags on their shoulders and clumped bodies, lined up in large groups like ants.

"Hurry, hurry!" the overseer glared angrily, urging the progress of his work, holding the short-whip fox fake tiger in his hand.

"Brother Xu, that is, Jiujiang ship operation is the most powerful!" Zhou Zhe stretched out his hand and pointed forward, on the three ironclad merchant ships facing the street in the town, there was a big "nine" character, representing the banner of Jiujiang shipping, and it was the industry of the Huo family.
