Chapter 375: The Dock
(Guys, subscribe and go!) )
On the afternoon of August 24, 17th year of Yongzhi.
The wharf outside the southern city, although the sun has gone down now, the wharf is still full of energy.
Large quantities of goods were unloaded from horse-drawn wagons and loaded onto ships, and large quantities of goods were pulled by cargo ships and transported to various places by horse-drawn wagons.
In fact, if you dig deeper, the cargo throughput of this terminal will not be so large, at least not so many legally.
But this "excessive" prosperity has been playing out at the dock for decades, almost shortly after it was completed.
The existence of the black market has led to this, but there are so many government offices in Luyang City, but they turn a blind eye to it.
At this time, at the place where a large ship docked, the leaders of the two convoys were supervising the work of their subordinates.
Although the two looked at their respective subordinates, they were chatting with each other at the same time.
I only heard one of them: "There has been a lot of work recently, Lao Shen, you have made a lot of money, right?" ”
The man known as Lao Shen raised his eyebrows, and then said, "Could it be that you don't earn enough money?" ”
After that, after the two glanced at each other, they both saw the pride in each other's eyes.
Immediately, the two turned their eyes and severely reprimanded their subordinates who took the opportunity to be lazy, and laziness in working on the dock was a common phenomenon.
After continuing to star, Lao Shen said again: "Although we have made money, there is so much business on the dock, how much can it fall into our hands?" ”
"If you want to say that you earn a lot, you have to be Uncle Tian...... People don't just make money at this wharf, but also do business in Yongxi and even outside the border, which he hasn't done? ”
"Say no more!" Lao Yu glared at Lao Shen and reprimanded.
Just when Lao Shen didn't know where to go, Lao Yu said: "Uncle Tian is here today, if he hears you arranging him behind his back, I'm afraid you won't be able to do business here tomorrow!" ”
Old Shen was shocked when he heard this, he really didn't know that Tian Changfu was here, otherwise he would never talk too much.
As for what Lao Yu said in his mouth, Tian Chang is capable of making himself unable to do business, Lao Shen has no doubts at all.
This Uncle Tian's forces are too big for them, and they can't fight against them at all.
The reason why these small families can make a living here is, to put it bluntly, they eat what is leftover.
After Lao Shen shut up, he only heard Lao Yu say in a low voice: "Uncle Tian has been rare to see for a long time, today he came to the dock, maybe there is something important to arrive!" ”
"Of course, it may also be that the old man is bored at home, so he comes out to shop!"
It's a pity that at this time, Lao Yu didn't have the heart to discuss Tian Changfu's affairs, and he was obviously frightened.
Seeing this situation, Lao Yu couldn't help laughing and said: "You guy, your courage is too small, how can you get mixed up on the dock like this!" ”
Since it is a black market, it means that it is not bound by the rules, so you need to be tough enough to last a long time.
But at this moment, a cold voice came from behind Lao Yu and said, "Really...... Then you must be very bold! ”
Lao Yu couldn't help but be stunned, and then felt angry, the person behind him made this joke and clearly provoked him.
But when he turned around, the momentum that was still climbing just now suddenly collapsed, and the whole person almost didn't stand firm.
"Tian ...... Tian Xiang Lord! Lao Yu said in a trembling voice.
That's right, what appeared behind Lao Yu at this time was Tian Changfu and his entourage.
Tian Changfu is mixed in the road, and naturally he can't do things alone, so one of his very important identities is...... One of the six incense masters of Zhongyi Hall in Luyang City.
That's why Lao Yu called him the Lord of Tian Xiang.
You must know that the incense master of Zhongyi Hall is the hall master further up, and you can imagine how much energy the incense master has.
After all, Liu Dascar and Liang Hong, who Chen Xiaoting supported, are only the helmsmen of Zhongyi Hall.
Tian Changfu was about fifty years old, and he was wearing simple cloth clothes at this time, but he was still extraordinary in the midst of a crowd of men.
Of course, he can afford to wear silk and all kinds of expensive clothes, but Tian Changfu is always prepared for danger in times of peace, so he often wears cloth clothes to wake himself up.
Looking at the frightened Lao Yu, Tian Changfu said in a flat tone: "Who are you?" Have you ever talked to an old man before? ”
As an old-timer in this industry, Tian Changfu's subordinates have also brought out many characters, so he asked.
Lao Yu replied: "Lord Tianxiang, the little one is not blessed, and he has never been old with you!" ”
This is Lao Yu's cautious and cautious answer, because if he answers a little wrong, he will be in big trouble.
Tian Changfu nodded, and then said: "I see, then after you finish this work, don't mess around at this dock!" ”
As soon as he heard this, Lao Yu's heart was hit hard.
Carrying things on the dock is related to the food and drink of dozens of people under him, and it is also the economic source of Lao Yu's family's prosperous life.
Tian Changfu asked him not to do it, which clearly meant that he was going to cut off his way of life, how could Lao Yu admit it directly.
I only heard him say: "Uncle Tian, everyone is mixed up on the road, Fang is a small gaffe nonsense, and the little one you blame has nothing to say!" ”
"But if you don't let your brothers beg for a living here, you will cut off your brothers' lives!"
Tian Changfu's face did not change as Fang Cai, and he said calmly: "You mean, you want to fight with me to the death?" ”
Although he wanted to fight for his own interests, Lao Yu didn't dare to accept this, and Hetian Changfu had only a dead end.
So Lao Yu looked at Lao Shen on the side, hoping that he could help him talk.
But Lao Shen dared to interject at this time, since Tian Changfu had already made a decision, wouldn't he be unhappy if he bumped into it again.
At this time, Tian Changfu took two steps forward, and his subordinates took full control of the scene.
Listening to condescendingly looking down at Lao Yu, Tian Changfu said in a deep voice: "Within two years, don't appear here, do you hear clearly?" ”
When I heard that it was a two-year period, it gave hope to Lao Yu's desperate heart.
Looking at Tian Changfu's obviously unkind eyes, Lao Yu knew that he had to agree, otherwise he might not see the morning sun tomorrow.
"Hear me clearly!" Lao Yu nodded.
Tian Changfu immediately turned around and left, he was not worried at all that someone would dare to play him.
He had been living outside the city with his family for two months, and the weather was pretty good today, so he came to the docks to take a walk.
When people get older, they like to be nostalgic, so he went to this pier to walk around, and he built his home here thirty years ago.
As for meeting Lao Yu, the two were completely accidental, but the severe punishment given to Lao Yu was by no means Tian Changfu's willfulness.
He is in the position of the leader in the transfer industry, and naturally some people will not be convinced, so he needs to use actions to maintain his majesty.
This process is long-term, and today's Lao Yu is just one of the many people he has cleaned up, and he will continue to bump into people in the future.
"Go back, lest the old woman talk again!" Tian Changfu walked on the sidewalk.
With this amiable appearance, it is hard to imagine that he was still resolute just now, kicking over the jobs of dozens of people.
Tian Changfu's house outside the city is in the forest more than a mile away from the wharf, which is a two-entry courtyard.
This courtyard was built not long after Tian Changfu built, and he regarded it as a place for the future pension, and he planned to leave the house in the city to his son.
The new house was quiet outside, and the sun was setting at this time, which made it even more eerie under the shade of the trees.
It wasn't until Tian Changfu and his entourage arrived that the silence here was broken.
