Chapter 108: Yangzhou is a good place
Chapter 109
This is Yangzhou, which is the bright moonlit night of the world, and the Yangzhou of Yangzhou.
Yangzhou is a good place, with good mountains and rivers, not only good articles that have been famous for thousands of years, but also good women whose waists are softer than water.
Of course, there are other ......
There are countless large and small ships moored at the wharf, and the merchant shipwrights come and go like shuttles, and a coolie carrying a sack is a coolie, and the dress temperament is also different from Youzhou.
On the noisy dock, there is a group of people who are particularly visible. When the people on the dock saw it, they avoided it one after another, but they couldn't hide, so they had to say hello.
"Master Lu, you have worked hard, and you have been good lately. ”
"Xiaoliu, don't talk nonsense, you haven't paid this month's share yet, how much money did you earn today, take it out. ”
"Master Lu, your subordinates are gracious, this is what I use for my mother's medical treatment, and next time, I will definitely send it to you. ”
"What nonsense, you can bring it. ”
A group of people rushed up and kicked the man to the ground and searched the money bag out of his arms. Lu Ziye shook it with his hand, shouted out unlucky, waved his hand and said, "Get out, don't be an eyesore in front of your lord." ”
Lu Ziye is a member of the Cao Gang, and the Cao Gang is not only in Yangzhou. In this era, water transport has an extremely important economic position. There will always be such a group of people gathered on the dock, eating by the water. Everyone is grabbing turf with short knives and sticks, and what they fight down is the Cao Gang.
Lu Ziye is the person in charge of this wharf, the cargo ship entering the port, the economic tooth shop, and the coolie who carries sacks...... In short, even a beggar begging at the dock has to contribute a share of the money to the Cao Gang.
Cheng Dalei looked down on the deck, and the prosperous scene here was also an eye-opener for him, and he couldn't wait to appreciate the customs of Yangzhou. Xu Shenji, Gao Feibao, Zhang Fei, Zhao Zilong, Liu Zhi, Su Ying, and Little White Wolf disembarked with him, and the others remained on the boat.
"Remember to call my son after getting off the boat, we are a northern family, don't bring out the bandits, Yangzhou is a polite place. Before getting off the boat, Cheng Dalei was making his final orders, and he was not worried about the others, but Zhang Fei and Gao Feibao.
Several people couldn't wait, and they were looking forward to the first time the old hat entered the city.
However, several people were stopped before they could get off the boat.
"It's the first time I've come to Yangzhou, and no one even understands the rules of Yangzhou City. ”
Seven or eight people blocked the bow of the boat, and Lu Ziye squinted at his face, full of Yangzhou official dialect.
Xu Shenji and the others looked at each other, not because they were stopped, but because they didn't understand what these people said. The native dialect of Yangzhou and Youzhou are very different, and although everyone can barely understand a few words, they can't connect a string of words.
Cheng Dalei understands and can speak, but he didn't speak at the moment.
Lu Ziye furrowed his brows, and said impatiently: "There is no one who can speak human language, a group of old hats." ”
I can probably guess the meaning, I was a little inferior for a while, and my eyes flashed and I wanted to find someone in charge, and my eyes looked at Su Ying.
Su Ying also didn't speak Yangzhou native language, and her expression was a little embarrassed.
At this moment, a man in a small hat came out and said, "Everyone, everyone, I am the tooth shop here, and you can call me rich." ”
Lu Ziye: "Fugui, it's you kid, you talk to this group of hillbillies about the rules, don't let us do it." ”
Fugui smiled all over his face, and said to Xu Shenji: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is Lu Ye of the Cao Gang, and this is Lu Ye's territory." ”
Xu Shenji knew about the Cao Gang, and he also understood the power of the Cao Gang at the dock, so he arched his hand and said: "It turned out to be the brother of the Cao Gang, you have worked hard......
"Who is your brother. Lu Ziye didn't even raise his eyelids.
"......" Xu Shenji.
"Ladies and gentlemen, when you go to the Cao Gang's territory to do business, you have to talk about the rules of Yangzhou. ”
"What's the rule here?"
"We're over one out of ten. The workers who carry the goods must be members of the Cao Gang. Who you can sell to and who you can't sell to, it's up to the Cao Gang to decide. "Fugui Road.
"Over ten out of one, it means that one out of ten percent of the goods is from the Cao Gang?" Xu Shenji knew that the Cao Gang had a lot of power at the dock, but he didn't expect the Cao Gang's power to be so big.
"What if I don't want to keep this rule?" At this time, Cheng Dalei separated everyone and walked to the bow of the boat.
Cheng Dalei speaks Yangzhou official dialect, and his accent is very crisp. Lu Ziye looked him up and down a few times, and saw that he was wearing a brocade robe, with mink wrapped around his neck, and a huge gem on his belt.
Just by glancing at it, Lu Ziye almost covered his mouth and laughed. A group of people chattered and whispered.
"Where did this brute come from, I don't know the weather in Yangzhou with this dress. ”
"I guess it's all good to dress up with them. ”
"Hehe, hillbilly. ”
Cheng Dalei is full of black lines, and he knows that Yangzhou's aesthetics are different from Youzhou, and now he is regarded as a big brother in the Northeast who wears mink and wears honey.
Lu Ziye waved his hand, signaling the surroundings to be quiet, he said: "This rule is set by the Cao Gang, in order to make everyone's business prosperous, if you don't want to keep it, then the people and goods on the ship can't get off the ship, what if there is dirt and dirt in it, and there are bandits and pirates or something, our Cao Gang also has to ensure that one side is stable." ”
Hey, how did he know we were bandits.
"Is that so...... Cheng Dalei smiled and beckoned: "Come, you come close, I'll tell you the rules." ”
"What rules?"
"I thought what was the matter, didn't I just want money, to tell you, a three-melon and two dates exposed between the fingers of the master are enough for you to eat and drink for a lifetime. ”
Lu Ziye glanced at Cheng Dalei, although this person seems to be uneducated, he is estimated to be very rich, and he is a nouveau riche from the north.
He grinned and rubbed his hands closer: "Even if you kid knows the rules, what do you have?"
"Look closely. Cheng Dalei pressed the spring with his hand, and with a bang, the sword was unsheathed, and with a wave of his hand, it crossed Lu Ziye's neck.
A sword seals the throat.
Blood trickled out, and Lu Ziye's body shook three times and fell to the ground with a pop.
Cheng Dalei shook the sword, blood dripping through the air, and the black iron sword body was not stained with a trace of blood. If it is said that the sword left by Li Xingya to Cheng Dalei is really good, killing people without blood, sometimes you can't underestimate the forging technology of this world.
The audience was shocked, Zhang Fei and Gao Feibao looked at Cheng Dalei with wide eyes, and what they thought in their minds was: Didn't you say that you should be civilized, polite, and polite, but how can Cheng Dalei ......
Even when he was a bandit in Toad Village, he had never been like this.
Fugui was so frightened that he stumbled and stammered: "You, you ......"
Cheng Dalei returned the sword into the sheath, covered his mouth with an embroidered handkerchief, and said impatiently: "Tell you, my son Ou Baou has arrived, and from today onwards, the master of this realm will set rules." ”
