Chapter 314
Erlang hired an account office, pulled a banner, and did business. Introduce workers to cargo ships. According to the agreement, they will pay for the damaged goods, and his customers are the cargo ships that come and go. When they ordered people, Jiro went up to sell.
The number of workers determined by the customer source is not responsible for it. Jiro went to organize people. If the goods are damaged, not intentionally damaged, Erlang, the intermediary, will pay half, and the workers themselves will pay half. If it is intentional damage, Erlang will not compensate, and the full amount will be compensated by the workers themselves.
Because of the security, even strong people are willing to join.
Erlang's stall has been very big in two days. But everyone who came to the dock came to Erlang first. Because it is a carrying job, Erlang's stall is called the Cao Gang. It's not really an underworld gang, but because the workers inside are all tall men.
Don't look at the small profits, there are many people who come and go, and there are many workers who join. Later, two more accounting offices and three stewards were hired, and the whole wharf was neat and orderly, not cluttered at all.
A year later, the Cao Gang became bigger, and Erlang proposed that those who joined the Cao Gang could enjoy the annual treatment. At noon, I packed rice and began to get monthly money, and the selected ones were the elites of the elite, and they could carry three bags in one go. Twenty people were selected out of a few hundred.
Veterans were specially invited to teach the martial arts of twenty people, and they exercised their bodies on weekdays to maintain order on the dock.
A year and a half later, Jiro finally breathed a sigh of relief that things were straightened out. began to stay at home, took Lan Niang to Manfu City to listen to the play, and went shopping to buy.
Life passed leisurely, and I received news of conscription. The name of this military service is set to death, and the quota is not allowed to be filled with money. Erlang received the news early, broke out in a cold sweat, and took Lan Niang and Pingping to the north. The north side is cold, but there is not much fighting.
Lan Niang and Pingping did not complain, and went to the north to beg for a living. Fortunately, there were twenty strong Cao Gang brothers who opened the way, otherwise they would not have been able to go north safely.
There is the money saved by the Cao Gang, and Erlang is not panicked when he arrives in the north, there are people and horses, although they are few, they are all elites, and it is still possible to ensure the safety of the family. Li Tongsheng also followed. Because he was a child, not a showman, he was not exempted from military service and had to leave.
The wind and sand in Beiguan are a little big, and Jiro buys a yard full of trees. The yard is very large, inside and out, and the people who brought it live in.
Before he could settle down and think about what business to do, there was a fight in the south. The war made it difficult to do business. Unless you're in dangerous business. Erlang honestly does short-distance trading. Don't dare to go far.
This war was fought for ten years, and it was only after the dynasty changed that it could really be subsided. Only then can the people live a good life. The first decree of the new emperor was to reduce taxes for five years. After giving birth to a child, there are still 300 wen to receive.
Erlang took people back to his hometown.
Beiguan for ten years is not home after all.
Erlang went to Fucheng first and pulled the Cao Gang up again. The account room comes with it, and the guards are also the Cao Gang guards of the older generation. The workers below, some are not enough to see. As soon as the fighting stopped, the people looked malnourished. The people who can move goods are all with large skeletons and thin yellow muscles.
This can't work, Lan Niang took out the grain and boiled rice porridge, drank a bowl of one person and then went to work. I also invited a doctor to wait on the side, so I can see a doctor at any time.
The workers who came were very grateful to Erlang, and they all riveted their strength.
Because he had pulled the stall before, Erlang pulled the stall up again in a month. took time to take Lan Niang and Pingping back to his hometown.
