Chapter 225 Downstream
Chapter 225 Down the River
Natural and man-made disasters and wars.
The two-rate tax coupled with land annexation, local gentry and unstoppable corruption.
It is impossible for the people to live an easy life.
The city of Nanjing is prosperous and prosperous, but the refugees and beggars outside the city are driven around by local officials and beaten to death in the streets, but no one is willing to leave Nanjing.
Because it is possible to survive by staying in Nanjing.
This is still the case in Nanjing.
If a strong bachelor like Pei Wu suddenly appeared alone in the Tongguan area with a carriage, his disguise was undoubtedly poor.
Therefore, family members are indispensable.
Using family members to add some color to oneself, a bold but smart speculator with methods and tricks appears.
"It costs five taels to pull a cart onto a boat, another four taels to pull an animal onto a boat, and one tael to pull a woman onto a boat, for a total of ten taels of silver."
"Just a swordsman."
"Find a way out."
"As the boss?"
After getting off the boat, we left the crowd and tied up the horse, which had been eating horse food for several days on an uninhabited stretch of road. Now it was eager to change its taste and take a bite of spring buds and green grass. Pei Wu suddenly pulled out a saber from the secret compartment of the carriage and was shocked.
Ms. Fang Liu sat paralyzed on the ground.
Not only can the savage speak fluently, but with a few braids he looks even more savage than a savage.
"Pei Wu's information is broken?"
"Hey, I'm sure, brother, go ahead. If I find something here, I will give it to the prince as soon as possible!"
"this"
Rich and conscientious?
It was all arranged by the prince.
"People rush to the battlefield to gain fame. I think he has a lot of lives on his hands, so be careful! He will have to go to other ships to carry food later!"
"Master, we won't sit down anymore!"
"Boss, let him go now? He hasn't figured out what's wrong with the car yet!"
A while ago, there was a man who dared to break into a thief camp alone and infiltrate undercover.
"He bought his mother-in-law and an under-year-old girl from a gambler in a village in the south of Nanjing, and then left by boat. This is where the news broke.
Be confident and fearless.
However, the road between Shuntianfu and Taiyuan was lost, and the situation in Tongguan became increasingly intense, with the possibility of mobilizing troops at any time.
Mrs. Fang Liu shrank in fear, while Pei Wu sat on the edge of the carriage tied to the boat and smiled innocently.
Seeing Pei Wu's silly smile when he turned around, the ship's boss said with a click of his tongue: "He is not only a carpenter, but also a swordsman. The calluses on his hands fooled me into letting him get on the ship. If I get in a hurry, something could easily happen."
After the ship boss asked for the price, before Pei Wu said anything, the woman who should now be called Fang Liu shouted loudly.
"Don't talk nonsense! Take the boat faster! Boss, can you please be less?"
As he spoke, Pei Wujiao drove the car off the road with a smile and went into the bushes beside the road.
At the moment, all he could do was take out a silver ingot and stuff it into the hand of the guard in front of him: "Thank you so much, brother! I'd like to thank you for your trouble. Please pay more attention to this matter."
"Let's take root here! I will figure out the household registration status and so on. The money in the car is enough to buy a lot of land. Let's buy a yard to live in first. We also have children. Remember to say they are my seeds!"
As he said this, Pei Wu touched Fang Liu's belly.
Jiao Boqing, who was already preparing for his return journey and was dressed in the style of a Northeastern Viking Jurchen, was somewhat worried at this time.
Pei Wu picked up a bag of grain and frowned as he watched the sailors around him carrying grain up and down.
"Hankou is an important town. There is a regular inspection in the city. There is no road guide for your family. You were arrested when you got off the river port. I will get you one for fifty taels."
"How can I have so much money? Just stop here, we won't sit down anymore."
"ah?"
The Jin Yiwei skillfully stuffed the silver into his arms, looked at Jiao Boqing's back, and the person he was sighing in his heart was Wang Chengen.
At this time, Pei Wu turned to look at the big ship behind him.
"Here, I still have this money. I'll buy some food when I meet someone later. I've been eating all the dry food for a while, so I want to eat something warm."
Jinyiwei is suffering.
It's better than those Qiu Ba in the army.
Some things cannot be hidden, and there is no need to hide them.
"Pei Wu did not appear in Hankou, and Governor Zheng did not receive a letter from the prince."
I originally contacted the people in Hankou in advance, but when the ship arrived, the people were gone. The ship was still a water transport ship, delivering military rations. It was not easy for our people to get involved. When I asked the boatman, he only said that it disembarked before Hankou.
I can’t ask anything else.”
The feet are arranged properly.
"I used to know that the prince is unfathomable, but now that I really work for the prince, I know what it means to be a tree with deep roots."
"Take it."
"Watch your mother-in-law, people below say six fingers are unlucky, so don't run around."
"Ten taels of silver!?"
The boss of the boat rolled his eyes: "I only took you ten taels because I saw you with a baby! You don't know how far it is to go to Hankou with the boat, right?"
What was originally found was only 20 to 30 percent.
Military rations.
Jiao Boqing helped himself to the difficulty and knew that Pei Wu had changed the regulations himself.
"Wait! It's only a few taels of silver! Don't make trouble! I'll tell you when we get ashore!"
Talent.
Jin Yiwei knew about "Piao Mei", but because there were too many interests involved in this matter, Jin Yiwei was not a good person and did not dare to take action.
This one went to the den of black-flag savages in the north.
A square silver ingot was weighed in Pei Wu's hand. Fang Liu's fear suddenly disappeared and she came over with her child in her arms.
"Boss, I am a carpenter if I am strong enough. I help with the work. Our family sleeps in the car without taking up space. I will always take care of the horses! Please be careful!"
"Of course you have to give me a boy."
The official ships carried the official rations that had been drifted away. These ships without official flags transferred the floating food to the designated place, and then merged with the official ships.
No wonder the boss of the boat was easy to talk to and not a bit gangster, and he even brought some people to help the folks from nearby villages walk on the waterway.
"What are you afraid of? This world is in such chaos that we can't show this guy. Also, look at this!"
"Master, what did they ask you to move?"
Jin Yiwei's heart felt hot when he thought of this.
Mrs. Fang Liu also chuckled, lowered her head and patted Pei Wu gently with fiery eyebrows, but was caught instead.
He got involved with the savages a long time ago and came back with them!
". Grain, stay well, the boss of the ship said he would pay me this time."
The ship boss sighed regretfully when he heard this and gave up any thought of recruiting workers.
Seeing Mrs. Fang Liu happily stuffing the money into the child's swaddling clothes, Pei Wu also nodded with satisfaction.
Looking at it like this, I'm afraid 50% of it will be lost.
"This is wages. You don't know your skills, but you have a lot of strength. Why are you going to Hankou?"
"I was so suffocated on the boat that I took advantage of the baby's sleep."
The amount of money that we actually receive throughout the year is pitiful, so we have to get some extra money from various sources to barely support our family and live like a royal guard.
But things are different now.
Let’s climb up to the prince!
In the past, the princes and father-in-law had no real power and duties, so the theory of eunuchs was just a joke, but it is different now!
The prince is moving!
"Although it is not as good as before, but now, he is also a little eunuch!"
Chapter completed!
