The country of Yue is vast and has a total of thirteen states.
Unlike the remote and poor Jingzhou, Lanzhou, located in the southern border, is definitely a prosperous place. Despite its small area, it only ranks eighth, but in terms of wealth, it is directly chasing Xinzhou, which ranks first.
state.
Because it is located in the south, the land is fertile, the rivers and waterways under its jurisdiction are densely covered, and the weather is good, so it is very suitable for growing rice crops, and it is the leading grain-producing state in Vietnam.
Jiayuan City is the largest city under the jurisdiction of Lanzhou. It is located in the middle of Lanzhou, at the intersection of several large rivers and main roads. It occupies a geographical advantage and has developed into a veritable transportation hub city. Every year, merchants from all walks of life pass by.
There are countless of them, which have greatly promoted local economic and trade transactions. It is also because of this that it can surpass Fucheng and become the largest city in Lanzhou.
The development of water and land transportation has given rise to countless side businesses, and dock workers are one of them, and they are the most important part, with more than 10,000 people. With so many people pouring into an industry, the level of competition can be imagined, and almost everyone
Conflicts occur all the time, and it is common for people to die or be injured in the process.
No, at noon, when the sun was shining brightly and the workers were lazily taking a rest, a boatload of special guests suddenly arrived at the dock. Their clothes clearly belonged to the wealthy class, so a fight broke out again.
"This is Jiayuan City?"
On the bow of the boat, Han Li looked at the endless city walls in the distance and the dense flow of people on the dock. He suddenly felt emotional. Compared with here, Jingzhou is really too poor. In addition to mountains, the cultivated land area is also very barren.
, what a world of difference.
After getting off the boat, Mo Juren looked at the workers who were divided into two groups fighting together in front of him. He couldn't help but curled his lips and said nothing. He just stood there quietly, taking his time to watch the two sides going back and forth.
As a veteran who has been around the world and a native of Lanzhou, some things can be understood at a glance. The reason why these two forces are fighting is not for the opportunity to earn some hard-earned money by helping customers carry bags. It is.
Treat him as a fat sheep and plan to devour him all for himself.
Finally, the battle ended with the victory of one side. The leader, a middle-aged man, was approaching with a smile on his face and asked respectfully:
"I was wrong to keep our distinguished guest waiting for a long time. The things will be moved soon. Where can I send them?"
Mo Juren originally didn't bring much with him this time, but he made a fortune after killing Master Jin Guang. They were all gold, silver and jewelry, and he packed several large boxes, so he had to bring them all back.
These dock workers were all seasoned. One look at the waterline of the ship's hull and they knew there was a lot of stuff inside, so they didn't beat around the bush and started asking questions directly.
"Mo Mansion" Mo Juren smiled slightly, revealing a row of white teeth, like the mouth of a giant beast, shining with a sharp cold light.
"Mo...Mo Mansion." The leader on the other end was startled, then his heart beat rapidly, and he asked with some uncertainty,
"May I ask if the Mo Mansion your guest is referring to is the chief helmsman of the Jingjiao Society..."
"What do you think?" Mo Juren was noncommittal.
Hearing the other party's answer, the leader's face suddenly turned pale, and he felt unlucky in his heart. The people of the Jingjiao Society had no use for dock workers like them. They had been fighting for a long time in vain.
"My dear guest, please forgive me. I've offended you because I'm blind." Knowing that he couldn't do business, the leader didn't waste time anymore and was about to say goodbye, but suddenly he heard the other party calling him.
"I have a letter here that needs to be delivered to Mo Mansion. You can find someone to help lead the way. The reward will be yours."
"Okay... okay, I'll find someone to take you there, little one." The leader only hesitated for a moment before agreeing. Small money is money, and you can make money when you get it. It's better than doing nothing and watching.
After a while, a child who was a little thin and looked young came forward.
Mo Juren didn't say anything. There were so many children like this among the lower class people who came out early to do things, so it was not unusual at all. He turned around and explained to Han Li, who nodded and immediately followed the children into the city.
The dock was once again lively, with workers busy and resting, each going his own way.
Mo Juren stood by the river with a calm expression. His eyes seemed to be observing everything around him, but his thoughts were surging inside.
He was about to return to the Mo family, which also meant meeting his original wife and daughter one by one. For some reason, he felt a little unnatural in his heart.
Although it has been fused with the memory fragments of the original body, it is only the most important memory, and those useless trivial matters that have been experienced since childhood have not been left behind.
Therefore, his feelings towards these wives and daughters were very complicated, both familiar and strange. Sometimes he would miss them extremely, and sometimes he would feel indifferent.
He felt that it was the original person's obsessions that were causing trouble. As for how to eliminate these obsessions, there was no way for the time being. Maybe they could get along with each other for a while, and maybe they would be solved by then.
While thinking, time passed slowly.
The people from Mo Mansion arrived earlier than he expected. Soon, a group of people walked out of the city gate and rushed towards the dock.
Mo Juren raised his eyes and saw that the person leading him was very familiar. It was his fourth wife, Yan Shi. There was also a young girl with her beautiful appearance and lively temperament. She should be his daughter Mo Caihuan.
Finally arriving at the pier, the atmosphere suddenly became a little strange. Yan stopped and looked at the face in front of him who was thinking about it day and night. He suddenly hesitated, and his beautiful eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Seeing this, Mo Juren couldn't help but sigh, and then took the initiative to open his arms.
"Husband" Mrs. Yan finally couldn't help it, and with a sweet cry, she threw herself directly into her husband's arms. At that moment, she felt that her husband's arms were so warm and practical, and the hard work and perseverance for many years had finally paid off.
Mo Juren gently patted the other person's back to comfort him. Even if he had thousands of words, it was not the time to tell him.
Mrs. Yan probably came to her senses and realized that she had lost her composure, especially in front of so many outsiders. She reluctantly left her husband's arms, and a trace of blush appeared on Ruyu's cheeks.
After nearly ten years apart, Yan's grace and charm have not diminished, but Caihuan has changed from the child she was then to a grown-up girl, so she doesn't even recognize her.
"Daddy..." At this moment, Mo Caihuan didn't look naughty at all. He shouted softly like a quail, extremely well-behaved.
"Good boy, you have grown up too. Daddy almost doesn't recognize you." Mo Juren reached out and touched the other person's forehead and said with a smile,
"By the way, why are you two here? Where are your other aunts?"
"They are all at home..." Mo Caihuan was about to reply, but was interrupted by Yan Madam raising her hand, and then whispered:
"My husband doesn't know something. Something happened at home. My sisters couldn't get away. Only Caihuan and I brought some people over."
