Chapter 106

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan have something to do again, that is, to build a money shop. Before doing this, we should have a pawnshop. Only by doing this little by little can we do this.

But neither of them wanted to build a pawn shop at this time. The pressure of goods was too strong. If they wanted to not suppress the goods so much, they had to deliberately say that other people's things were very cheap. This had a little impact on the two people's ideas. If they were not going to do this, they could only run a money house directly.

The function of the money house is not to release loans, at least the purpose is not like this. It is to help others save money and to exchange the change and whole money back and forth. However, at this time, it can also be considered as some pocket money. In the process of helping others save money, you can take out this little money and do other things and wait for them to ask for it.

In other words, the more money you keep, the more stable the money you can use, and when the income and expenditure reach a certain level, it will be balanced.

The people next to them didn't know what Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were busy doing again. Instead, they had to get busy as long as they were idle for a while, and they always looked like they were busy.

If Zhang Wang's belly is carefully looked at, he will find that it is a little bigger and it is not so cute. Zhang Zhong doesn't have much to do now, so he stays at home all day long.

In this busy life, the fleet in the capital finally arrived. It was the second time that the people on the ship had arrived. They were not as worried as they were at the beginning. There were some ships behind them, and these ships were also big ships with sails on them.

It was very hard for them to follow the road. The Zhang family's fleet could not slow down to take care of them. It should be as fast as possible, especially when it was faced with the wind, the distance suddenly opened. The people who followed the Yellow River boats behind had to chase after each time they were pulled apart. The way was to get the oars.

This made the people paddling on the boat exhausted. They had thought their boat was the fastest when they were on the Yellow River. Now they realized that the boat with wheels on both sides and special sails on them was much faster than theirs.

Especially they had never seen what the sea was like here. The sea breeze and the waves made them very worried, fearing that their ship would not be able to bear the overturning in the water.

Fortunately, they finally insisted on coming along the way. When they saw the dock in front, everyone standing on the deck cheered, as if they had conquered this place.

The people from the Zhang family fleet ignored the ships behind them and started unloading the goods when they stopped at the dock. This time they brought a lot of things so that they could use them for the local people for the New Year. If the speed was not faster, Zhang Zhong would not have time to deliver things to each place.

The pier is big enough, so the Zhang family's fleet can occupy all these piers, so there is no need to wait any longer. The people on the Yellow River boat trip are not in a hurry. They want to take a good look at the situation here. Even the people rowing below ran to the deck. Many of the scenery are mostly what they have never seen before. It looks very novel, especially this big pier.

They really don’t know what the things used to build the wharf are. These cements have just been transported to the capital, so of course the people outside don’t know what they are going to go. The emperor is going to use these cements to repair something for himself first, and then wait until he thinks it is OK before he can use them to repair the city walls and the streets of Chang'an.

Many people were called over and unloaded things together. They all know that during the Chinese New Year, the great officials would give them some things to celebrate the New Year, and these things accounted for a part of the ship, so they all seemed to be desperate when they worked. If someone hadn't stopped them in time, it would have been easy to exhaust a few people.

Waiting for the ships to unload the goods, the Yellow River boats also came over. They didn't ask anyone to help them unload the goods, so they brought special people, took a springboard and started carrying the scraps of fur down. As soon as they carried them down, someone came to collect the money.

This time, sixteen ships came over from the Yellow River boat trip, which was also their big ships. It was impossible to find such a big ship on the Yellow River. How could Zhang Xiaobao let them stop at the dock for 16 ships? They had to pay some money. It was not a waste of money to repair the dock.

The visitor said to the person who got off the boat: "Sixteen ships, according to the rules here, a ship costs ten cents of money. You can get the money first and then stop the boat. If there is no money, then write a document first and wait for the goods to be sold before giving it to you. But at that time you have to pay more, how are you planning to give it to the law?"

"You want money? What's the money to park a boat? I've never heard of this. Our boat has stopped in the capital and has never given money. Why do you want money when you get here?"

The person who came down did not carry the things, and he looked like a person in charge. He replied unhappily when he heard someone asking for money, and it seemed that he was not going to give it to him.

The Zhang family is in charge of the dock, but no matter what the other party's attitude is, the money is necessary, and he said to the person: "When you are there, you can find a place to park the boat, so usually no one cares about you for money. And when you arrive at the dock, there will be people working at the dock to pick up the job, and they will give the dock some money, and many people are even hired by the dock there.

Also, you can eat there, and the shops on the wharf will also get money. The most important thing is that the wharfs there are specially for visitors from all over the world. Go to some wharfs on the Yangtze River to see if they charge you money. And can the wharfs in other places compare to ours? Our wharfs have spent a lot of money to repair."

"Then you can't cost ten guan a boat. Sixteen guan is one hundred and sixty guan. You are too good at making money. How about a boat with a cheaper one? If that's the case, we will give it. If it doesn't work, we will find a place where we can stop the boat. At worst, we can take out the boat and transport it to the shore little by little."

The Yellow River boat manager wanted to talk about the price, but it was directly suppressed by 10%. He thought that as long as he said he would stop at the dock, people would be afraid of him, but unfortunately he met someone from the Zhang family. The people from the Zhang family really didn't care about his little money, so they shook their heads and said:

"No, it's just a ten-point currency. If you want to stop, stop here. If you don't want to stop, please ask. If you have a boat coming, we will go over and ask first, so that you won't let you occupy the place like this. If you stop in another place, then there will be strong winds or something. If you want to come over, the money will be doubled."

"It really costs so much money? OK, okay, then we will stop on the water outside and transport it bit by bit by bit by bit by bit. If we don't believe it, we will come here to help you. Then don't think about getting any goods from us. If you don't sell them, you want to buy high-priced ones elsewhere. How about it? Consider it and whether to stop it?"

The people in charge of the Yellow River boats do not want to give up. If the boat is parked on the dock, it will be much more stable. It is always worrying elsewhere.

"Let a ship cost ten cents of money." The people of the Zhang family still insisted.

In fact, ten guan is not much for the entire Yellow River boat trip, but it is not a little bit more than other places. They will not accept it no matter what. Otherwise, they will need to take out 160 guan. How much can one 160 guan buy? I feel distressed when I think about it.

At this point, both of them did not compromise. The people who came down got on the boat again. The boat slowly left the dock and stopped until it passed the dock. They threw it down and fixed it. They really released some small boats, and the big boats kept delivering goods downward, and transported small boats to the shore one by one.

At this time, the people of the Zhang family didn't say anything more. It would be simple to make it difficult for them to do so. They told the shore here that they had to pay as long as they came up, but this thing could not be done. The pier here at the Zhang family was really a big ship that cost ten cents of money, because it was well built, and the small boat was much cheaper.

The people in the Zhang family were not embarrassed by the people who were sailing on the Yellow River, but the people who were sailing on the Yellow River did not think so. This time, the people who came here heard the words of the person in charge who just went down and said with some words added to them. They all were very angry, and they really felt that the people here bullied them.

"Hmph! Isn't it just stopping a boat? It's still so much money. It's okay, after we ship the goods up, we won't sell them, which makes them jealous."

The son of a boss who was considered a big boatman who was following the Yellow River Boat Festival, stood on the deck and said angrily, while the others nodded in agreement with his son's statement.

The sixteen ships, because they needed to put things down little by little, took a lot of time. Until dark, they had not brought all the goods over. The people on the ship were eating and complaining about the attitudes of the people here to them. They didn't know what the person from the Zhang family said just now, and they were all thinking about the managers who came back to manage their own thoughts.

In this way, the owners of the ships who joined forces no longer planned to be kind to the people here. They were talking about selling these fur and scraps from other places. They still think that these things will be valuable.

I didn’t know that there was not so lack of fur here, especially with a mountain of 100,000 yuan behind it. This was something that Zhang Xiaobao didn’t consider when he came, so he made the fur into a sofa and some furniture. Otherwise, how could this happen?

At night, the people on the Yellow River boat trip were still trying hard to transport the cargo. When they were on the boat, they did not dare to light up the torches at will. This was the fur, and it was really easy to catch fire, so they had to make some torches on the shore to illuminate them.

At the same time, some owners came to the shore under the protection of the guards, and met some local people. These people came here to catch shrimp at night, some of them were all half-aged children, and they could sell the shrimp for money to subsidize their family income.

One of the owners who were traveling on the Yellow River boat trip saw the kid running here and swim to a reef. He curiously stopped a kid who had not yet passed and asked him:

"Where did you get your clothes? How much does it cost? Are you richer in your family? How many people here can't wear clothes?"

The stopped kid looked at this person and was a little confused. He didn't know why this person asked so many questions, but looking at the expression on his face, he didn't look so evil, he replied: "I got this clothes from work, and the clothes from other people are the same. It's not clear how much it costs. No one is selling them here yet. My family is not rich, and they may have enough food and can have some spare money.

Everyone here has clothes to wear, which is similar to the fabric of my clothes. No one can't wear clothes. Moreover, everyone's homes are like mine, with a small building living in it, and there is still some spare money."

The children told the truth, but when they heard the ears of the people around them, they had already asked someone to ask them when they came here, and they knew that the people here lived a very hard life, especially when they passed by several other states, they saw those people doing things on the beach. Some of them didn’t even have a piece of clothing and were exposed.

Now this kid actually said that everyone has clothes to wear, and that everyone has spare money, how is this possible? The boss named Sun naturally thought so, and looked at the child in front of him and said to him: "It's not good for kids to lie. Come on, tell me the truth, I'll give you candy."

As he spoke, he reached into his sleeves. In fact, there was no candy in his sleeves. They didn't bring any candy when they came here this time, but he was going to take out two copper coins during the break and buy candy for his children.

When he thought, the child would change his words now, but he still insisted on saying, "I didn't deceive you. This is what it is. Did you see that people from other places are not like this when you came, and you thought we were living a very bad life? In fact, our lives are very good because we have a great official and we don't lack anything. Forget it, if you don't believe it, go and ask others, I'm going to go and go and go and go and go and go and go and go and go and I'm going to go and go and go and go and go and go and go and go and go and go and go and I'm going to go and go."

After the kid finished speaking, he took off his clothes and jumped into the water. After a while, he swam to the reef. It is very difficult to catch shrimps in the reef. If you are not careful, the hook will be hung. If you try hard, the thread will be broken.

These people on the shore were still thinking about the words of the kid just now. Even if they didn't believe it in their hearts, they had to choose to believe it once, just once, and you'll be clear when you send someone else to see it later. Is that Zhang Zhong really as powerful as others said?

In a short while, they got here and prepared the people here and allowed them to live a happy life?

One of the bosses said to Sun Dongjia at this time: "I can't understand now. If the lives of these children's families are really that good, why do they still have to go out to catch shrimp at night? How much can the shrimp be sold? The shrimps on the Yellow River cannot be sold at a very high price.

If they live a bad life, look at the clothes they wear on the kids, but they are not afraid that these clothes will be broken accidentally on the reef? Who would have to bear this? So, I guess these kids were sent by someone who is interested.

When we arrived here, we couldn’t see the depth of this place. We wanted to buy the fur we brought to a low price. Do you think this is what it means?"

After he said this, others felt that it was reasonable and nodded one after another. Even the Sun Dong family was the same, but he still couldn't be so sure and said to the man: "If it's really as the little kid said, at least we can sell things. It's better to sell them to rich people than to people without money? Well, now let's take a look at other places, especially places where there are homes.

Remember not to separate. Each team needs five people, wear torches, and if there is danger, run back quickly. What if the people on their side are very poor, it will be bad if they snatch my people. Go and go back quickly, don’t go too far, just take a look."

With his words, those individuals would divide up several groups of those who were tired of working just now and start to check in with the torch. Their owners would not go around. If they encounter any danger, who knows if anyone can save them here?

Waiting for these individuals to leave, the Sun Dongjia said to other bosses: "You must be careful when doing things here, especially Zhang Zhong. If you meet him, we should try to be polite, otherwise he will easily find a reason to stay here. This dock belongs to them. Look at those boats, if you want to keep us, we will not be able to escape.

If you can't run on the sea, it will be even more useless on land. They are more familiar with this place than us. Moreover, when we came here, we didn't bring any horses. Remember, once we meet people from the Zhang family, don't offend them, and if we can't bear it, we will make a big plan."

He said it sincerely, but not all of these owners could think so. They considered more that this time they came here to help Zhang Zhong. Without the cargo on their ship, Zhang Zhong would have been very difficult. This is the idea that it has always existed in their hearts.

Zhang Zhong didn't know what others were thinking about when he came. He still didn't know how many ships he had come. He had a lot of things to be busy with. After getting the things on the ship, he had to send these things to the local people so that the people could have a good New Year.

Regardless of whether it was night or not, Zhang Zhong was sitting in the car and swaying towards the farthest county. It took a few days to walk. Or when the car was very fast, there were a long queue behind the car he was riding. These teams were trucks carrying goods, which contained what Zhang Zhong wanted to deliver to others.

On the way, I occasionally met a few people who were rushing to the night. After seeing Zhang Zhong’s car, these people always stopped and greeted him respectfully. At the same time, they were waiting for Zhang Zhong to deliver the things to them. They had heard that there were a lot of things this year, which allowed them to keep eating and drinking until the fifteenth day of the Chinese New Year.

As for what it was, they didn't know. They were only imagining and guessing that Zhang Zhong didn't have time to say hello. He said a few words with a kind smile whenever he met.

As he walked along the way, the day became darker and Zhang Zhong fell asleep unconsciously.

The owners on the dock were still waiting. They just wanted to know what this place looked like. It didn't take too long, so someone rushed back from there and said to everyone: "I found it, I found someone. Every family here actually has big houses and big yards. Those houses are so beautiful. After this, I heard the sound of a duck.

I walked around the back and looked, but I saw that many pigs were raised by them and they all looked good. However, it was not yet time to kill and eat meat. It was probably almost the same in summer. There were also people who couldn't sleep occasionally sitting outside chatting. I went over and looked at them and they were wearing very good clothes.

There are only these, no more, oh, there is another point, their houses were not built directly on the ground, but were erected. I don’t know why they did this, but I can’t figure it out.”

This man seemed very excited when he spoke. He really had reasons for being excited. What he heard and saw along the way were all the hardships of the people on the beach. He never thought that Luzhou was actually different from other places.

He was excited, but these bosses were shocked. If they hadn't known that this person wouldn't lie, they would have really thought that this person was lying. How could it be? They passed by Lianzhou when they came, and they could not know what was going on there.

Why are there such a big gap between two states next to each other? This question has to be thoughtful. Sun Dongjia looked at the people around him and said, "I know now. Zhang Zhong has such great ability. Don't underestimate him, otherwise we will suffer the final loss. If we can offend him, we will not offend him. Even if he cares about us asking for these goods, I will be willing to take care of him. As for what you think, I will not care. If something really happens, don't say I didn't tell you in advance."
