Peerless Pirates
Chapter 534
The trading pier is bustling with people (read the full text of the online game "A World Without Thieves"). Ships of all sizes on the river are loaded with goods, coming in and out, and the ship masters' calls are endless. On the pier, people wearing short shirts
The strong laborers were carrying bags or boxes of goods, all sweating profusely. However, no one complained about being tired, and instead their faces were filled with excitement.
It’s no wonder that although the work at Huitong Trading Company is tiring, the wages are sufficient, and the payment is made on a ten-day basis, with no arrears. Unlike other places where work is done, the general ledger is not calculated until the end of the year. The time does not drag on for a long time.
He said that many bosses also withhold wages from wages. When encountering some unscrupulous people, not only will they not be paid at the end of the year, but they will have to pay the bosses for expenses instead.
What makes the laborers even more satisfied is the food here. Carrying big bags is a strenuous job, and it’s not enough if you don’t have enough to eat. The laborers are common people within a few dozen miles, and they usually eat sorghum steamed buns to celebrate the New Year.
I just got some white noodles to eat. But in the trading house, the food is all big steamed buns, and meat and vegetables are also available every now and then. As long as you can eat, no one will care whether you eat too much.
Because of this, more and more people are flocking here. Especially now, the autumn harvest has basically been completed, and the farmers are already idle and just come out to do part-time work. Unfortunately, the labor required by the trading house is limited.
It really couldn't absorb so many people. There was no other way, so the trading house had to set a standard. If you couldn't reach the height and strength level, you wouldn't be qualified to work part-time.
Even for the strong men who have obtained the opportunity to work, their jobs are not guaranteed. Lu Chun and Xiaobei, two bad guys, have long implemented the elimination system for the last place. Those who do not work hard or are not serious will be stripped of their jobs.
The qualifications for living are supplemented by newly recruited people. Under this immoral system, the laborers are not willing to work hard.
"You two are quite bad, you have come up with such an idea (Starry Sky Blood Source)." In the courtyard in the center of the warehouse, Song Zheng pointed at Xiao Bei and Lu Chun, and couldn't help laughing and cursing. He looked at the two of them with pride.
With such a complacent look, Song Zheng couldn't help but secretly cursed "old landlord rich", but then he thought that he was also one of the "old real estate rich" and couldn't help laughing.
There was a lot of noise on the pier outside Li Xu, but it was quite quiet in the yard. So everyone left, leaving only Xiao Bei, Lu Chun, and Cai Yong brought by Song Zheng. The three brothers sat talking, while Cai Yong
Standing behind Song Zheng, his face looked like a flat lake.
"We can't help it. There are too many farmers coming to work here." Lu Chun said with a bitter smile, "We conduct inspections every ten days. Each time we wash down about twenty people and give one to the farmers waiting outside.
Opportunities. Even so, they still think there are not enough people to recruit."
"We have a lot of goods, so we have to let the laborers rest every few days. If we tire them out, the people will poke us in the back."
"Don't worry, Xiaolang. Next, Xiaobei and I plan to let them take turns to rest. After working for three days, they must take a day off. Otherwise, no matter how strong the man is, he will not be able to withstand it."
"That's good. I won't specifically interfere with matters here. You and Xiaobei can discuss it. Once things are done here, next year we can spread our wings and expand the trading house to the entire Daqi Kingdom."
"Brother Zheng, we have been working for so long. We have learned by doing and learning by doing, and we have slowly figured out the ropes. In a month or two, Lu Chun and I will come up with a finished product. I promise that it will not be let go.
You are disappointed." Bei Leye patted his chest.
Song Zheng nodded. Lu Chun and Xiao Bei were a perfect match. Lu Chun was calm and Xiao Bei was flexible. In just half a year, the trading house dock was organized by the two of them.
"Actually, there are hidden worries." Lu Chun said with a solemn expression, "Although the dock is booming, the amount of cargo being shipped in and out is a little less than last month. I originally expected it to be busier this month. The old boat of the Ji family
The dog is really powerful, and he can actually persuade other big families to cause trouble by himself."
"Yes, Brother Zheng, you have to find a way to bring down that old beast."
Song Zheng smiled and said, "That's why I came here this time (read the full text of Fengyun's Stunning Heroes)." After taking a sip of tea, he pointed to Cai Yong standing next to him, "First of all, let me introduce you to someone.
You may have seen this guy, Xiaobei, he is our fellow countryman."
"Laizhou Cai Yong has met Mr. Lu and Mr. Bei." Cai Yong clasped his fists.
Xiaobei and Lu Chun glanced at each other, and both saw doubts in each other's eyes. This afternoon, Song Zheng came here with Cai Yong, and the two of them didn't pay much attention. Erhei and Huzi beside Song Zheng were familiar to them.
As for the twenty sergeants, Song Zheng had never brought them out alone. However, they were accustomed to taking Song Zheng as the center, so Song Zheng didn't tell them, so they didn't ask around.
The two knew that Song Zheng was training twenty sergeants, and it was quite mysterious. The manor was closed when Song Zheng was training, and it was impossible for anyone to see it without Song Zheng's consent. Xiaobei had the chance to meet the two.
times, and Lu Chun had no chance to see how Song Zheng trained these people.
Cai Yong, who appeared this time, didn't look out of the ordinary. He had a dark face, a strong body, and a calm face. People who saw him for the first time wouldn't pay special attention to it. Naturally, they didn't know that Song Zheng trained
What these people want is not to make them appear
How majestic and mighty they are, but they are required to become ordinary, preferably so ordinary that they cannot be found in a crowd. Only in this way will it be more convenient for various actions. If you really send someone with extraordinary bones and extraordinary appearance,
When you go to do errands, you tend to attract attention.
"Brother Zheng, what do you want us to do?" Xiao Bei geared up and looked like he was going to have a big fight. Lu Chun also said yes, indicating that he would obey Song Zheng's arrangement.
"Do you know about Dayuan Wharf?" When it came time to get down to business, Song Zheng's face turned serious.
"Of course we know that Dayuan Wharf is the most important dock in Jiangning City on the Yangtze River estuary. More than 40% of the goods entering and leaving Jiangning City by water are landed at Dayuan Wharf. The river water there is relatively deep and is naturally
A good place for docked boats. Unlike here, it takes a lot of effort just to dig out the rocks under the water." Xiaobei was not ambiguous.
Song Zheng nodded, "Your task is to find a boat and decorate it to look like the Ji family's boat. Of course, it doesn't have to be a complete copy, it just needs to be 60 or 70% similar."
After Lu Chun thought for a while, he said, "This is not difficult. We are familiar with the Ji family's ship. After all, one-tenth of their goods are traded with us. I have seen it many times. If it is a complete imitation,
It is impossible for their ship, but it is still relatively easy to have a sixty-seven-point likeness. The shape of the mast and cabin can be adjusted, and the hull can be painted brown like those of the Ji family. It just cannot be like the Ji family's ship.
Perfect."
"It doesn't matter. Just make it easy for ordinary people to look confused at first glance." Song Zheng said, "This is not the most important thing. The important thing is that you find a few boatmen. At the same time, Cai Yong and a few other people also have to get on the boat and act as sailors."
Both Xiaobei and Lu Chun stared at Song Zheng. What was the purpose of this ship was the most important thing.
"You come out here and act as merchants. You place orders to buy goods at the trading house. Then, after loading the goods in the warehouse, they unload them at Dayuan Wharf. They go around Jiangning City by land, then transfer them back and put them in the warehouse of the trading house.
inside."
Isn't this just fooling around? Xiaobei and Lu Chun looked at each other, confused as to why Song Zheng did this.
"Just go ahead and do it. Everything you have to do is the same as ordinary merchants. Especially when unloading goods at Dayuan Wharf, it should be no different from other cargo shippers. You can name this ship whatever you want, Zhou Ji, Zhang Ji
No matter. In addition, you have to design
Good turnover order. People who transport goods by land cannot have contact with the shippers. Don't let people suspect that we are messing around. We do this to create a normal state at the Dayuan Wharf. When we take action in the future
, and it will not arouse people’s suspicion.”
Lu Chun said, "Don't worry, Xiao Lang. Although this requires a lot of manpower, it is not difficult. Now there are many ships at our dock. I borrowed the steward from my father and asked him to be a merchant. I can buy any similar ones."
For the ship, hire a ship boss and a few guys. As for the manpower for the land route, it’s easy to say,
Now that there are so many farmers here, it is easy to hire them. I also have a suggestion. Instead of letting all of the Cai Yong brothers board the ship, one of them can be separated into a merchant who receives the goods and is responsible for hiring.
Farmers transport goods. In this case, outsiders will not be able to discover anything except us."
Song Zheng nodded secretly. Lu Chun was worthy of being a merchant. Not only did he quickly understand what he meant, but he also made appropriate arrangements.
"Okay," Song Zheng immediately agreed, "just do as Lu Chun said (Latest Chapter of Six Gates in the City). The person responsible for the land route will be a man named Dou Hai next to me. The hired workers will be from Dalu
Receive the goods at the dock and transfer them back to the trading house."
"Brother Zheng, how long do we need to do this?" Xiaobei interjected, blinking his eyes.
"You mean when will we take action against the Ji family?" Song Zheng smiled.
Xiaobei scratched his head and heyed twice in embarrassment.
"It won't take too long, about a month. When the time comes, listen to my news and I will let you know how to act."
Lu Chun smiled and said, "Xiao Lang must have played a big game of chess. We are all Xiao Lang's soldiers."
"You can't take it seriously. We brothers are in the same boat, and everything is for the prosperity of our trading house. I promised Uncle Lu that in the future, the Lu family will be as rich as the country."
"Let's make a fortune together! Let's make a fortune together!" Xiao Bei clapped his hands and laughed.
Song Zheng pointed at him, "You kid, you are going to be a big business person. If you don't learn more from Brother Lu, when will you become calmer and more mature?"
"Xiao Lang is wrong." Lu Chun said with a smile, "Xiao Bei has more ways to do things than me. He is smart and solid. But for some reason, when he saw Xiao Lang, he had no idea."
"That's right, that's right." Xiao Bei defended, "As soon as I saw Brother Zheng, I felt stupid."
Song Zheng and Lu Chun laughed heartily. Speaking of which, Xiao Bei was only a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old, and he did not have the experience of two lives like Song Zheng, so it was inevitable that he still had a young mentality.
Cai Yong has been standing behind Song Zheng, occasionally showing a smile on his face, but it is fleeting.~
