Chapter 12 Born to work as a coolie

The two cities of Beiyang City and Nanyang City are the northernmost and southernmost towns of the empire, although they belong to the same level, but their humanities and geography are completely different.

It is also the most obvious phenomenon of the difference between the north and south of the empire.

For example, the temperature in Nanyang City is mild and hot all year round, the main crop is rice, if the planting time is well grasped in most places, it can harvest three seasons a year, and the geography is close to the ocean with rich fish resources, and there are many rivers within its area, which can be said to be the "land of fish and rice" in the real sense.

Throughout the history of the entire continent, there are almost no disasters experienced by Nanyang City, except for man-made disasters, natural phenomena such as natural disasters have hardly appeared, which also makes this area densely populated, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and it is not for nothing that it is called the "hometown of abundance".

On the other hand, Beiyang City is an inland city in the true sense, with four distinct seasons all year round, planting corn in spring and miscellaneous grains in autumn, and living is quite passable, but droughts and floods often occur, and the most direct hit in the famine year are those civilians who rely on the land to eat.

But if it weren't for the famine of the past year, forbearance would be acceptable.

Throughout the history of the mainland, the area where Beiyang City is located is quite stable, and there will be some riots and uprisings from time to time, but that is also what happened after the drastic changes in the north and spread here.

After the autumn of the 102nd year of the continental calendar, the entire north was covered by ice and snow, and the cold breath from the north continued to flow to the Beiyang City area, directly and completely disrupting the solar terms here.

After that, Beiyang City entered the current "ghost weather", and the people who were directly damaged by this "ghost weather" were ordinary farmers, who could only harvest one season of corn a year, and the harvest was greatly discounted.

If there is a year of calamity, it will starve to death.

Therefore, after that, whenever there was a drought or flood in the north, the first thing the imperial court prevented was the peasant rebellion.

Chronicle of Empires

Of course, what diverts everyone's attention is the gold coin, the task of one gold coin a day is not more, but it depends on what it does.

If it is said to go into a mountain to fight a tiger and bet a dart out of the door, it is inevitable that it will be a little less, this kind of desperate task, give 1 gold coin, let alone recruit people, it is not enough to laugh.

But running errands, sending an outsource, working a day job, and other tasks that do not have any risk, offering 1 gold coin, is simply free money, as long as they are not stupid, they will accept it.

Of course, excluding those mid-level and high-level mercenaries who disdain such tasks.

As soon as the staff heard about today's simple task, they were immediately interested, so the task can reach 100% completion, that is, they can get 100% of their commission, although the commission is not much, but it is always a piece of meat! Especially in this chaotic years, some money can live, right?

It can also be described as seeing the money and opening his eyes, only to see the staff member with a professional smile and say: "Okay, you wait a minute, I'll hang it up for you right away!"

As soon as the voice fell, the staff got up and prepared to hang the task on the task board.

At this time, a simple and honest man stood up and shouted in a muffled voice: "What are you doing Fei doing?

When the staff heard the voice and looked for it, the honest man had already come to the counter and handed the mercenary diary to the counter.

"These two employers

, what do you think of me?" Lao Wu looked Li Xiangfeng and Yu Yan up and down, and saw that they were dressed exquisitely, they must not be ordinary ordinary people, so they were commensurate with their sons.

It is impossible for ordinary people to hire someone to give 1 gold coin a day, 3 gold coins for ordinary people is enough to eat for a month, who wants to use 10 days of food to hire a mercenary to work?

Li Xiangfeng's eyes wandered around Zhang Wu's body, from his limbs to his chest, from his chest to his fingers, from his fingers to his head, and it felt okay!

But Lao Wu didn't feel so good, how did he feel that this young man looked at himself as if he was picking an animal? Is the next step to break his mouth and look at his teeth?

Lao Wu, who was prepared not to suffer this shame, did not wait for the young man to come over and open his mouth, but saw that the young man's face suddenly smiled and began to talk to the staff.

"It's him, the remaining 19 people have to take this as the standard!" Li Xiangfeng was very glad that this old Wu arrived, otherwise he would not be able to do anything, and what he was looking for was a "coolie" who could carry food.

It is necessary to find some mercenaries with well-developed limbs and round heads, which seem to be good at work, and do not require how powerful their martial arts are, as long as they have strength.

"Don't look for it, other people are old Wu Bao, as long as you give 20 gold coins, there will definitely be 20 big men like me!" Old Wu heroically stopped this task, causing others to be dissatisfied.

"I said Lao Wu, where do you go to find a big guy like this? There is no one like you to fool people, right?" The mercenary who knew Lao Wu naturally knew the details of Lao Wu.

Although Lao Wu often mingles in the Mercenary Guild and is also the leader of a mercenary group, everyone knows that there are only a few mercenaries in the entire mercenary group, and Lao Wu Tou and these mercenaries are not full-time mercenaries, they are authentic farmers.

Their village is nearby, and when winter comes, Old Wu Tou will haunt the mercenary guild and start taking on tasks, but you have to know what tasks Old Wu Tou specializes in.

Chores such as delivering a package, running errands, drinking wine, building a house, digging a well, etc., are all within the business scope of the old Wutou mercenary group.

"Find Lao Wu if you have something!" This slogan is well-known near Beiyang City.

Whose thatched house is full, don't be afraid if you have nothing to do, find Lao Wu if you have something!

Who's roof leaks, don't use your head if you have nothing to do, find Lao Wu if you have something!

Sitting in the east of the city, you want to eat pancakes in the west of the city?

Sitting in the south of the city, want to listen to the little song in the north of the city?

All the chores near Beiyang City, large and small, at least 3 percent are covered by Lao Wu.

Naturally, in the Beiyang City Mercenary Guild, there are very few mercenaries who go to grab these odd jobs with Lao Wu Tou anymore.

"What's the matter, do you still want to rob me with Old Wu Tou?" Old Wu Tou heard this guy's taunt, his face instantly became a little unhappy, and he turned his head to look at the mercenary who had just grabbed the conversation.

In normal times, no one would definitely go to rob Lao Wutou, but in the past few months, the mercenary guild in the entire Beiyang City has been very sluggish, and most of the tasks issued are tasks related to the war zone.

Doing this kind of task is a huge risk, and generally mercenaries and mercenary groups who do not have the strength can still not take it, but other tasks are very few.

Even if it's the Chinese New Year, the landlord's family doesn't have any surplus food! Not to mention the mercenary who hasn't received the desired task for a long time.

Although this job does not sound challenging, the money given is still very cost-effective for this task, so at this point someone stood up and wanted to take it.

It's just that it's not this one person who thinks about the task that Lao Wu Tou likes, and the others also want to get a piece of the pie.

"I'm talking about these two little employers! See how we are?" stood two emaciated men on the table next to them, their right arms bent upward, trying to show their unrecognizable biceps and triceps.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, staring at the mercenaries chattering around, Lao Wu Tou couldn't stand it, some people obviously came to make trouble, and some people really wanted to rob them of the odd jobs they had been operating for many years.

This can't be robbed of one's own business just because the mercenary mission is sluggish! Old Wu Tou, who was already annoyed, took off his upper body cotton clothes without saying a word, and under Li Xiangfeng's puzzled gaze, he tore off his thin underwear, revealing his dark skin.

The shirtless old Wu Tou is very tall and strong, and his arms are strong and powerful, just by looking at it, it can be seen that this is not the result of special exercise, but the imprint left by the frequent exercise of strength and energy.

Under the helpless and surprised gaze of everyone, Lao Wu Tou actually walked back and forth bare-chested for two steps, walking steadily, and his body was as strong as a wall.

Old Wu Tou took off his hat at this time, what Li Xiangfeng didn't expect was that Old Wu Tou did not have hair, but a short hair, black hair like a steel needle, standing at the roots, standing tall. Coupled with Lao Wutou's broad forehead, thick eyebrows and round eyes, broad nose bridge, and thick lips, the whole person looks more and more strong.

People have to exclaim: "This is really fucking material that was born to do coolies!"

"Big, big, uncle! You put on your clothes first! I want it! I'll kill you!" Li Xiangfeng was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped, he didn't expect this strange uncle to use such a killer trick.

With a triumphant smile on his face, Old Wu swept around, with a proud posture.

"Who else, who else can compete with me!" said Old Wu Tou, buttoning his hat to his almost bare head, and said arrogantly.

After speaking, Lao Wu Tou laughed and went out.

It seems to be a scene, and there is a heroic atmosphere of "looking up to the sky and laughing and going out, how can my generation be a Penghao person".

Li Xiangfeng suddenly thought that he was looking for help, so he glanced at Yu Yan and hurriedly walked out of the door to chase after Old Wu.

"Hey, old Wutou, what are you doing?" As soon as he walked out of the door, Li Xiangfeng saw the old Wutou who was still laughing with his hands on his waist and walking forward.

Hearing the employer behind him shouting about himself, Lao Wu Tou stopped laughing.

Looking back, he said, "Call someone to go!" Old Wu Tou looked at his employer Li Xiangfeng suspiciously.

"Have you taken the task?" Li Xiangfeng said.

"Didn't you give it to me? What are you doing? Want to regret it?" Old Wu Tou was a little displeased.

"Where's your mercenary diary?" Li Xiangfeng asked helplessly.

Old Wu Tou stretched out his hand to the pocket of his cotton coat, and his face suddenly changed in shock.

"Damn, I'm still at the counter! I'm going to get it, you can't give me this task!"

After speaking, Lao Wu Tou had an unconcealable emotion on his face, and ran to the Mercenary Guild again.
