Jiang'an Pier is busy with ships entering and leaving the port.
Put the boss and his subordinates into special clothes, new shoes, and a fine woven hat, and start working with the dock dispatcher. As the boss, you don't have to work, just lead the team and act as foreman. What you need to do is It is very convenient to have a trolley to assist in transporting cargo on and off the ship or on the shore.
As a result, these men also became migrant workers, not for anything else but for the delicious oil and a full meal.
It took a lot of effort to get familiar with it from being very busy at first. It’s actually not tiring. There’s a car and a hook and you only need to use your strength occasionally. Once you’re busy, you won’t think too much.
During a break in work, another foreman came over to say hello.
He had a small white smoking thing in his mouth. On the road, he saw many people holding it in their mouths and puffing away smoke, not knowing what use it was.
A certain foreman holds a cigarette at an angle and wears his hat, a typical old-fashioned look.
"Brother, from Yan Jun?"
"Um."
The general manager nodded and did not want to say more. It is better to do less than to do more. When you first come here, you should keep a low profile.
"Nice to meet you. I'm from over there too. Hehe, I was the first boss to bring my brothers over to have a meal. It seems that you are also a boss. We can be considered brothers and sisters, haha~"
"..."
I admire his boldness in setting a precedent. Although it violates military discipline, it is wise. At least he will have enough to eat and make money.
"Want a cigarette? It's refreshing and refreshing. It's enjoyable."
The boss took the cigarette and put it in his mouth in a daze. As a result, he choked and coughed and burst into tears. He thought this guy was deliberately trying to trick people. If his expression didn't look fake, he would have punched him in the face. When he recovered, he was suddenly startled, eh. ? It seems to taste okay! So delicious!
After a while, two smokers squatted together on the pier, smoking.
The pioneer, Mr. Bao, blew out a puff of smoke, his expression unclear.
"Brother, how do you think this place compares with the Central Plains? I think it's like a heavenly palace in the heavenly realm. You don't have to worry about food or housing. That's what the fairyland is like, right?"
"..."
Silent, he didn't know what the fairy world was like, but he certainly wasn't hungry.
"When Commander Ge was here in the summer, I still had some money to spend. After Commander Qian arrived, the brothers could only go out to hunt game. The other teams went to open up wasteland and plant paddy fields. I used to be a bandit to recruit people, but I didn't know how to farm."
"..."
"Brothers are having a hard time. The miasma has made them unable to adapt to the climate. I heard people say that if you have good sanitary conditions, you won't get sick. I don't quite understand. In short, drink cold water, stay clean, and bathe frequently."
"..."
I remembered that the house in the camp was slightly better than the prison, and the sewage flowed across it and stunk.
"There are many Central Plains businessmen in the city. In their own words, they are new-age entrepreneurs. Their children can go to school and have a very high status. You can go around the city during your vacation. You will find that the people here are different from those outside. Well, yes, it looks like the people here are more human.”
"..."
Smoking a cigarette, with smoky eyes burning, the newcomer always felt that this nagging colleague was more like comforting himself, trying to explain his deviance and profit-seeking, and he may despise himself in his heart for being reckless for money. He became a businessman that everyone in his hometown looked down upon. He was called a businessman and a philistine.
However, if you don’t have money, you won’t have food to eat, let alone support the children in your family. Is it worth it for a tall, seven-foot-old man to make his elderly parents, wife and children suffer for the sake of so-called honor?
When a cigarette burned out, I woke up only when my fingers were burned. It is difficult for brothers and sisters to set a precedent and always stomp out the cigarette butt.
The dear friend Zilaisu patted his shoulder, turned around and left, his back looking slightly decadent.
…
Bai Yujun returned to Nanhuang.
Qing Ling wakes up sulking, the snake demon feels nothing after sleeping for a year, and Xiao Nizi is just unhappy.
After coming back, I immediately felt that my territory was too small and needed to be expanded. There were too many troubles in the Central Plains and I couldn't go there. The black and white parts of Jiuli were too hard to deal with, and I was even more embarrassed to attack the demon kings of the Southern Wilderness. As the gap in strength increased, The relationship with Aoki Demon King may gradually become distant, and it seems that there is only one good place to go.
The endless rain forest is similar to the Southern Wilderness. It rains a lot and has rich water veins, which is suitable for snakes to survive and reproduce.
Most importantly, it's close to the sea.
Good development is not about outstanding people, but about having more opportunities in the sea.
In the study, Bai Bai's thin finger on the map lying on the desk was placed in the wilderness where the Chimang people were, in the southern area of the Yan Empire. The area was large enough to facilitate development.
At present, the territorial cities are approaching saturation, and it is difficult for the Central Plains dynasty to continue to expand due to transportation and backwardness.
In a certain Bai's view, merchants from the Central Plains are not considered merchants. It is more appropriate to describe them as transport teams. Their products have remained unchanged for thousands of years and are not even allowed to be changed by others. They still remain at the level of rough processing of raw materials. What they do is just from scratch. Transporting goods from one place to another relies not on innovation or product quality. Doing business depends entirely on connections.
Excessive intervention has resulted in extremely low output, few goods and high prices, like a pool of turbid and rancid stagnant water.
The already fixed interest class does not allow changes to occur, fearing that changes will shake their status.
The merchants who often travel to the territory were subtly changed by Bai Yujun. Most of them were small businessmen who could not survive in the Central Plains. After cooperating with the snake demon territory, they quickly emerged as a new force. They maintained an open mind to compete with the die-hards in the Central Plains and shipped in raw materials. It is processed into high-quality products and sold all over the country, causing an impact on many places in the Central Plains.
The response of the rigid and pedantic wealthy families in the Central Plains is collusion between government and businessmen.
Again, if you do better business than me, then I will steal your money and kill your whole family...
In this era where laws are dictated by words, anything is possible. Expecting fairness is a dream. If Bai Yujun didn't have strong force to deter the city, it would not be possible to build it.
Occupying the south, the tropical rainforest climate can provide enough food to feed the territory and create an empire belonging to the snake demon.
The most important thing is of course to start the Age of Discovery, so that the snake demon clan can be the first to go ahead of all civilizations in this world, and be considered worthy of the same clan who died tragically because of them in the small county back then.
A dragon must enter the sea to swim. After improving and evolving, one can look further and the sea is the best choice.
The river flowing to the south of the territorial city can reach directly to the South China Sea. All that needs to be done is to deal with the backward and primitive Chi Mang people, without the need to mobilize troops.
He looked up to the north and wrinkled his small nose.
"The north seems a little unclean...forget it, just eat carrots and don't worry about it."
By sensing luck, you can detect problems in the north. If your cultivation level is low, you can run to help. As the Demon King, running there will only make people suspicious and guard you everywhere, so why bother.
Outside the window, lotus flowers were blooming and butterflies fluttered, and a vine full of tiny purple flowers climbed up the window.
In the pavilion of the waterside pavilion, Qing Ling sat there and sulked.
The breeze in the elegant study made the white gauze curtains sway slightly. A slender figure was kneeling and writing on the map. The huge arrow was pointed at the southern tropical rainforest, and the construction plan of a new warship was started first...
