When Han Jian heard this, he looked up and looked sideways, and saw a man like a northern man standing there, burly. Looking at the age, about twenty or thirty years old, he was only wearing a shirt in autumn, and his skin was tanned.

"." If it was Han Jian when he first arrived at the ferry, he might have to ask about the salary, but now that he has been sitting in the ferry for an hour or two, he has long realized that it is not easy to find even a hard-working job, and now that someone asks him to work, he is not qualified to pick and choose.

Han Jian said and got up. When the man saw Han Jian's appearance, his expression was a little hesitant. Seeing that although Han Jian's materials are quite tall, they are a little strained, and Han Jian's skin is a little white, so they feel that they are down-and-out scholars who work hard, and they may not be able to exert their strength.

"Boy, let me make it clear to you, we are paid by the piece, and you don't resist much, don't say that we treat you badly."

Han Jian heard such a familiar northern country accent, and a smile on his face, which was a bit of a hometown when he was down.

"This big brother, don't worry, although I don't often make a living, I still have a little strength to ask." Han Jian's words also made the man smile, because Han Jian also has a northern accent.

"Okay, let's go!" The man didn't talk nonsense, and took Han Jian directly to the ferry, where a shipload of goods arrived at the ferry.

Han Jian followed the man over, and some men next to him glanced at Han Jian, because he had to work immediately, and he didn't care too much about Han Jian's origin. Han Jian also knows that when dealing with these five big and three rough husbands, you don't have to worry too much about red tape, just do your own.

Han Jiangang followed the man to the ferry. There are also some men who look at Han Jian laughing, probably thinking that Han Jian is a little self-conscious, and he has no strength to work hard. But when Han Jian came down with them after a few trips, these people put away their contempt. After all, Han Jian has a solid foundation in martial arts, and he was forced to come out helplessly this time, and he didn't pick and choose, he could earn more if he could, so he worked very hard when he resisted.

After the genetic cargo was unloaded, even the owner of the ship was impressed by Han Jian and came over to pat Han Jian on the shoulder. The small string of money thrown to Han Jian with hemp rope was a reward.

"Hey. Little brother, I can't see that you are quite energetic! The man came over just now and said with a smile.

"Thanks to Big Brother, you gave me a way to live." Han Jian arched his hand and smiled.

The man smiled and divided the money from the owner one by one, without mentioning Han Jian's extra reward from beginning to end. Han Jian knew. Tipping is the ship's business. The ship's reward for those who can't get their turn to resist the goods is making irresponsible remarks. But if he fattened himself, it would be difficult for him to make friends with these people.

Equal the completion money, Han Jian took twenty-seven copper coins in half an hour. That's a very good payoff. However, fifteen of them were rewarded by the boatman.

"This big brother. I don't know if I can tell a few people that I got some more reward money and want to invite everyone to a glass of wine. Han Jian didn't know how to tell those men, so he had to turn to the man who brought him over.

"Oh?" The man patted Han Jian on the shoulder and said with a smile, "The little brother is very benevolent, in this way, I will go and tell them that when I see noon, I don't need a few pots of wine to get a few pennies." ”

"That's very good." Han Jian gave a small string of money to the man, and the man only left ten cents and returned the five cents to Han Jian.

The man had not been gone long and returned with wine, and the men sat down together on the edge of the ferry, in case a ship came to dismount at any time. As soon as the man brought the wine, those people understood what was going on, and they didn't need to greet them, they all gathered here, but if they wanted to come over to ask for a glass of wine, they had to come out with a "share", or take their own dry food, or bring side dishes, and a group of eight or nine people gathered a small table for a banquet.

"This is all the wine that this little brother bought, ten cents, and I made it in one day in the north." The man didn't take credit either, and said directly to everyone.

"Hey, little brother is rare." Others praised Han Jian.

Han Jian knew that in the south of the Yangtze River, he could earn more than ten yuan a day by unloading a ship, and in the north, it was not bad to earn ten yuan a day. Ten yuan a day, three hundred yuan a month, which is enough to feed the family. And in Jinling, if you do well in a day, you will have dozens of dollars in your pocket, and it is no wonder that these bustles will leave their hometowns and come to Nanqi to make a living.

Everyone went to the wine table, chanted a few glasses, and the conversation box opened. Han Jian also knew the names and origins of these people.

The man who invited him to come over to fight the goods was named Dong Sheng, the small head of this group of people, a generation of people from Henan, Shandong, and later the drought in his hometown came with the fleet, and he had already married and had children in the local area. And others, some are locals, and some are from the north, because Dong Sheng is a righteous person, so these people are also happy to work with Dong Sheng.

When asked about his identity, Han Jian said casually: "The younger brother's name is Li Jing, and he went south with his father and brother to do business, but unexpectedly, a fire burned the goods, and his father and brother also died in the fire. ”

Dong Sheng patted Han Jian on the shoulder and said, "Brother Li doesn't have to worry about it, although you can't make a lot of money with us, but it doesn't hurt to beg for food, if you don't have a place to live, just move in with me, and you're on your side?" ”

Han Jian shook his head helplessly and said, "Lu Yin was also destroyed by fire. ”

Dong Sheng sighed: "Then it's a little troublesome, I'm afraid you can only be in the city for the time being, wait a few days, you save some money, I am trying to find someone to dredge you up, and I will make up for it for you in the government, and you can go out of the city." Lao Zhang, is there still a place for Brother Li to settle down temporarily in Wuyang Temple? ”

"Lao Zhang" nodded and said, "Yes, yes." However, there have been a lot of displaced people in the city recently, and Wuyang Temple has also gathered some chaotic people, and the environment is not very good, so I am afraid that Brother Li will dislike it. ”

"It's okay." Han Jian said with a smile, "If I didn't have a few helpers, I wouldn't even have to eat, and now I have tiles to cover my head, how dare I be demanding?" ”

Dong Sheng smiled again and patted Han Jian on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "The little brother is in a good mood, and he can still be so optimistic in the face of great difficulties, like our men in the north." Don't worry, if I have a bite to eat in the future, I will have you a mouthful. ”

Han Jian didn't expect that these hard-working people were wary of people, but when they really made friends, they didn't know that they were so righteous in the morning. As a newcomer, Han Jian couldn't help but say something, and immediately said that he would invite as many people as possible to drink in the future.

Dong Sheng said with a smile: "Brother Li said this, do you think we can't covet you for a few glasses of wine?" There are some things to make clear to you, let's come out to work hard, it's difficult, not every day we can come over to move goods, this kind of small wharf, those who are powerful, such as Heng Ye, can't look down on them, so they will leak to us for a few days, and we have to pay homage from time to time......"

Dong Sheng said the back, and there was some emotion in his words. probably felt that it was not easy to make money when he came out, the big fish ate the small fish, although he took a few people out to work, but he also had to succumb to stronger people.

Lunch was eaten in a short time, and Han Jian only spent ten cents to buy wine, and he had a full meal without spending money on dry food and side dishes. Han Jian is used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and suddenly the tea and light rice also feel very delicious, these people who do hard work intend to eat more salt, and Han Jian feels that he also has strength after eating.

In the afternoon of the same day, Han Jian continued to work, and Han Jian was also very lucky when he arrived, unloading three ships of goods in one afternoon, and by the evening he had already obtained more than 50 copper coins. Han Jian instantly became a "rich man".

At sunset, people like Dong Sheng, who live outside the city, want to go out of the city, while Han Jian follows "Lao Zhang" to Wuyang Temple to see and find a place to stay.

"Lao Zhang, you first find a set of your bedding for Brother Li to use temporarily, you ......won't need it anyway," Dong Sheng instructed when he was leaving.

Speaking of this, those people laughed, Han Jian knew in the afternoon that this "Lao Zhang" was named Zhang Li, in his thirties, and had also married a daughter-in-law, but his daughter-in-law died in childbirth when she gave birth to a child, and she had no companion in the past few years, and he was also the only one among the people who lived in the inner city of Jinling.

"Okay." The tension is very big, and he responds with a smile.

Then Dong Sheng and his entourage discussed going out of the city, because the city gate had been sealed, and those of them who often came and went had a way, and they could discuss and accommodate the city gatekeepers.

Han Jian didn't think too much, even if he wanted to go north now, he had to save up enough first, if Dong Sheng and these people could help him get out of the city, the focus now was to settle down first.

When he arrived at Wuyang Temple with Zhang Li, Han Jian knew that it was just a dilapidated small temple, because the Southern Dynasty believed in Buddhism, there were many such small temples, and no one cared about what they were doing.

"Brother Li, I want to embarrass you first, I could have asked you to live in my house, but in our Jinling City, things are troublesome, if you take in people of unknown origin, you will be questioned by the government, and you will be punished lightly, and you may be imprisoned, so it will be hard for you to live here for a few days." Zhang Zhang said with some embarrassment.

Han Jian nodded, he also knew that the people of Nanqi had many rules, he had no road guide now, and now the city was searching for the prisoner who set fire last night, and he would definitely go door to door to search, if he found that Han Jian had no way to guide him, then the tension would also be unlucky.

"Brother Zhang is so polite, it's good that I can live here." Han Jian said with a smile.

Han Jian followed the tension to the inside to take a look, the place is also very spacious, but some places have been occupied. Zhang Zhang brought Han Jian here, and some people who seemed to be in charge recognized Zhang Li, and Zhang Zhang also asked them to make room for Han Jian.

"Lao Zhang's brother is here, how can we give face, just let this little brother sleep under the south window, there is ventilation at night, so that he will not be bored and panicked, but there is a little lady sleeping next to him, because his mother has died in the past few days and cried all day long, but let the little brother bear more."

Dead mother? Han Jian frowned, it sounded quite familiar, could it be that he met the person who sold himself to bury his mother in the market yesterday?

Han Jian didn't think much about it, and nodded with a smile. Then Zhang Zhang went home to move the cover for Han Jian. (To be continued......)
