The sturdy life of crossing

The inland wharf closest to Jinhai County was extremely lively today, with many people on the shore looking forward to it and talking about it.

Shen Juncen is the direct son of the Shen family, surrounded by several descendants of the Shen family and other families who are close to him. They met to play in Jinhai County, and they just got off the boat not long ago. Such a scene made them curious. .

Someone asked: "What's going on at the pier today? Is there something exciting going on?"

Hearing their questions, the passers-by kindly told them the answer: "People from the Gu family in the capital are coming, that is, the family of Mr. Gu who is going to be married to the master Shi Shifeng of the Shi family. For Mr. Gu to see off his relatives, this wedding is quite grand, probably second only to the grand marriage of the future gang leader."

Passers-by also looked proud when they said it, because passers-by are natives of Jinhai County. In the past, Jinhai County was famous for its poverty, but now it has become a place of prosperity that everyone yearns for. All of this is due to Jian Leyang and Cang They were brought by the River Gang, how could they not be proud.

"It turns out that Mr. Gu's natal family is coming. No wonder it's such a grand scene. I'm afraid the city will be more lively." Several people looked at each other, and saw that the eyes of the others were all different. They were originally from this area. The young master and lady of a rich family, the Jian family and the Shi family can't catch their eyes at all, even the Gu family in the capital, which is also high in the mountains and far away, they don't have much awe, but everything is different now, especially Shen Juncen Emotions are more complicated.

Several large ships came into view of everyone, and the people on the pier immediately cheered. On the other side, a group of people drove up, and the passers-by gave way one after another. Needless to say, it must be people from the Canghe Gang who came to pick them up. The attention of visitors from the capital.

"Wow, that's Mr. Jian, the leader of the sect, came in person. Look, it's the one riding in the middle of the horse. Mr. Jian is extremely brave, and his appearance is unrivaled!" Passers-by blew Jian Leyang into the sky. The appearance of the score can also be blown into eleven or twelve points.

"Young Master Jian already has the blood of General Yun Qing on his body. When the Gu family is here, Young Master Jian will of course come to greet him in person. The person next to Young Master Jian is Hall Master Shi. Hall Master Shi has also become a member of the Canghe Gang at a young age." One of the Titans, it's amazing!"

Jian Leyang and Shi Shifeng, who were walking in the middle, were all in high spirits, and they were particularly eye-catching. The eyes of Shen Juncen and his party who retreated to the side couldn't help but follow their figures, and it took a long time to look back with some regret.

"Brother Shen, I heard that a brother of yours has joined the Canghe Gang and is now working at Jinhai Port?" One of them asked, while the other people who knew the inside story kept winking at him, but unfortunately the question had already been spoken.

Shen Juncen smiled wryly and said: "Yes, that is a younger brother of a branch of the Shen family. Now our Shen family is no longer the Shen family of the past, and the direct line can no longer suppress the side line."

Those who know the inside story are very sympathetic to the Shen family's direct lineage. In the past, those collateral lines have been tightly suppressed below. Who would have expected that the situation would change because of the appearance of the Canghe Gang? The sharpness of the lineage has surpassed that of the direct lineage by an unknown amount.

The descendants of the Shen family were dispatched to remote and impoverished places by their descendants. Unexpectedly, the Canghai team led by Jian Leyang happened to be chasing the Japanese pirates there. The descendants of the Shen family immediately stood up and voluntarily led them. It was logical to fall into the eyes of Jian Leyang and the Canghe Gang, and since then he has been on a steady rise.

"Anyway, that's your Shen family. You can't write two Shen characters in one stroke. There is always room for maneuver. Unlike ours, it is getting more and more difficult to get involved in the business of the Canghe Gang. I heard that the sale of the discarded ships this time has attracted all the powerful people in the capital, and I'm afraid our family won't get it again." Although they tried their best to get through the door, He sent out a lot of property, but he didn't have any confidence in it. After all, this matter had to be approved by Jian Leyang and He Yunzhang, the chief managers. How could the two of them be moved by property.

Shen Juncen's smile was still very forced, and he didn't feel that there was anything enviable about the direct line of the Shen family. Although they couldn't write two Shen characters in one stroke, they could let their direct line rely on the side line to live from now on, and how would their self-esteem be affected? Come on, I can only say that the luck of that branch is too good, if they were met by their direct line at that time...

He was really bumped into by the direct descendants of the Shen family, but in the end he didn't say anything, maybe he would annoy Jian Leyang and take the whole pot out of the Shen family.

These families can only watch other families get rich and become more and more closely connected with the interests of the Canghe Gang. For example, Jian Leyang led the Canghai Fleet to find a new thing like rubber trees, and asked who they were They are willing to buy land with the Canghe Gang to plant this kind of trees. Those family members who first made a fortune with the Canghe Gang did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to plant this kind of trees with the Canghe Gang. Now everyone knows that the sap produced by this kind of tree has such a great effect. At that time, there were many people who wanted to please Jian Leyang, thinking that the money was thrown into the water and could not be turned over. They spend a lot of water, but the harvest is so rich that they are ecstatic.

When the first news came out, people like the Shen family also laughed at those people for throwing money into the water, but how much they gloated at the beginning, and now they regret it, they can't get involved at all.

Brother Quan got married, and Gu Jin, the father, came here specially from the capital. The dowry that the Gu family specially prepared for Brother Quan was also brought on board. Didn't stay, put it all in the dowry

In the past few years, the Gu family has not been cramped. If there are any good things here in the Jian family, I always think that the Gu family in the capital will send a copy. Those things are not worth anything in the eyes of the Jian family, but they are extremely popular in the capital. .

After receiving the guests from the capital, the troops returned to Jinhai County, and the carriages rolled up. Those who came from the capital couldn't help being curious about such a new thing as the tires used on the wheels of the carriages. In fact, the capital city had already appeared. The pursuit of the rich and powerful, the horse-drawn carriage with rubber tires, it is difficult to adapt to the original one. From the introduction of glass to the rubber tires by the Canghe gang, many people feel that Gewu is not so small that it can’t be on the table, not to mention other things. Just these two things can gather a lot of wealth, no matter how noble people are, they can't just sit idly by.

Shi Shifeng, Gu Yinlin and Gu Yinzhen from the Gu family personally accompanied Gu Jin in the carriage. In fact, Shi Shifeng sneaked into the capital once, but except for a very few people, no one knew the inside story, and the news must not be leaked out, so Gu Jin and Shi Shifeng were not It's the first time we meet, so it's not a stranger.

Of course, the Gu family is the first family in the capital to enjoy the rubber-tyred carriages, but the feeling here is different. Gu Jinqi said: "The carriages here are more stable than those in the capital. Is there any difference?"

"Father-in-law doesn't know, the road the carriage passes here is smoother, so it doesn't feel like the carriage is driving on it." Shi Shifeng, who usually doesn't talk much, hurriedly replied.

"Yeah dad, look outside, all the roads have been replaced with concrete roads, as smooth as possible, surely you won't see something like this in the capital, hehe, you should let your grandfather come over and have a look." Gu Yinzhen smiled. say.

Gu Jin looked out, the road outside was indeed very flat, and then looked at the guards on both sides of the carriage, praised: "Cousin and Brother Yang are really amazing, me, this time I came back like a countryman entering the city, this time I Take some time to look around."

"I'll be your guide for Dad." Gu Yinzhen said happily. Although this place is very good, she doesn't regret coming out, but she will miss her family in Beijing.

Gu Jin looked at his daughter and shook his head with a smile. Brother Quan is getting married, and sister Zhen’s marriage is still unknown. She is not too young, but once she is released, it will be difficult to take this person back. Sister Zhen My son probably doesn't get used to the life of a wealthy family in the capital, so he has to discuss it with his cousin when he comes back.

The carriage had already driven away, and the dowry was still being carried down from the boat. Such a lively scene was enough for the people of Jinhai County to talk about for a long time.After the dowry was lifted, the crowd gathered here gradually dispersed.

The visitors from the capital were warmly welcomed by Jane's father and mother, and properly arranged their residence.After Gu Yinlin trained with Father Jian in the yamen for a while, now he is working under He Yunzhang. He is a member of the Canghe Gang, and he is happy to be prejudiced against the Gu family in the capital.

The Shi family is currently concentrated in Jinhai County. Just for Shi Shifeng's marriage, Mr. Shi Entang Shi personally sits here in order to show that he attaches great importance to this wedding. It is rare for the Shi family to find a talented person to lead the army. If the family wants to go further, it still depends on grandsons like Shi Shifeng.

The Shi family attached great importance to it. Shi Shifeng was a capable general under Jian Leyang, and Gu Yinquan was Jian Leyang's cousin and the brother of the Gu family. This wedding was a sensation inside and outside Jinhai County. The water table alone took a whole week. It was crowded with sea boats from all walks of life, and some of them couldn't stop and could only stay on the sea outside, put down their boats and row to the shore.

Countless men are jealous that Shi Shifeng can marry the brother of the Gu family, and countless daughters and brothers are jealous that Gu Yinquan can marry Shi Shifeng, and have an unforgettable wedding. Another popular story has attracted many people who did not see the scene.

After the wedding, there was a question of ownership of the five eliminated ships. He Yunzhang came forward and announced that an auction would be used in the end. The merchants selected by the Canghe Gang to qualify for the auction would be awarded to those with the highest price. Once the news was released, those merchants Qualified merchants immediately sent orders to go back and mobilize funds, and they could not give up this opportunity anyway.

Although it is a sea-going ship that has been eliminated, everyone knows that the service life of this sea-going ship is still long. The reason why it was eliminated is because better sea-going ships were built in the dock of the Canghe Gang and put into use. Then the idle sea ships will be used for regeneration.

He Yunjing lived with He Yunzhang in his house, which belonged to one of the so-called staff housing in the Canghe gang. Because He Yunzhang was the manager, he was assigned a relatively spacious two-in-one courtyard. He Yunzhang lived alone. Thinking that the place is too big, He Liu doesn't come here often, but now when my cousin comes over, he just happens to have someone to accompany him.

He Yunjing didn't live there for a few days, and he was busy receiving various postings for his cousin, some of which were self-recommended to He Yunzhang, hoping to work under him as the manager, and there were many talented people among them, but these days The richest merchants received the most money. If He Yunzhang hadn't spoken out earlier, the warehouse in his house would have been overcrowded with all kinds of items.

When He Yunzhang saw his cousin coming back, he pointed to the high pile of posts on the case table, and joked: "It's all for you, I tidied it up for you, let me tell you, why didn't anyone send you beauties to bribe you?" your?"

He Yunzhang looked coolly at his cousin, who was watching the show, and said, "They dare not."

He Yunjing was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly realized that he laughed loudly, yes, what Yun Zhang said was right, those people really didn't dare, if they really gave away beauties, then let Jian Leyang know, and they have to spit out how much benefits those people have gained , and it's hard to say whether the position of the cousin, the manager, can be secured anymore. In this Jinhai County, what else can escape the eyes of the gang leader Jian Leyang?

He Yunzhang said angrily: "It seems that my cousin has a lot of experience, does he often encounter such situations?"

He Yunjing choked for a moment, the retribution came so quickly, but compared with his cousin, he did not lack beauties to throw himself into his arms, but his family education was very strict, and he didn't want to make his backyard dirty. Failure to cultivate will lead to downfall.

He Yunzhang didn't ask anyone to have a meal at home, but took his cousin out to experience the life of the Canghe Gang. He went to the cafeteria of the Canghe Gang. The brothers in the gang who are single and have no family on weekdays are too lazy to cook by themselves, so they like to go here three times a day There is everything you want for a meal, which is more cost-effective than having a restaurant with rich dishes.

It was the first time for He Yunjing to enter such a place, and he was very surprised. He Yunzhang had a special ticket in his hand, which was used to buy the food here. He was dazzled by the variety of dishes, and he didn't know what to choose.

"Everyone has this kind of ticket? What if I can't finish it?" He Yunjing turned into a curious baby.

He Yunzhang explained with a smile: "Everyone has it. It's called a meal subsidy. Some people can't spend it all, and some people can't spend it all. Then they can circulate among each other. If it doesn't work, you can cash it in the logistics department."

There must have been loopholes when it was first implemented, but now it is getting more and more perfect. In the monthly wages of the members of the gang, there are various subsidies of various names, and those who are new to it must be confused.

He Yunjing followed his cousin to fill the wooden lunch box in his hand with rice and vegetables, and found a place to sit down to eat together, and said with emotion: "No wonder people outside try their best to join your Canghe Gang, this food is enough to attract people, In our Daxing Dynasty, there are still many places where we don’t have enough food and clothing.” The past few years have not been smooth, and with some man-made disasters, except for the better life here, the other places are worse.
