He Feng strolled over and looked at the man at the head of the big boat: "You are the boss of the boat, are you here to collect the money for crossing the river?"
When the boss of the boat saw it, he immediately lifted his legs from the bow of the boat to the shore with a smile on his face. He wanted to hook He Feng's shoulder with his hand, but He Feng ducked, allowing him to miss.
"Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings."
"You let people block the river, and even let people board boats to snatch people's oar boards. Is this also a misunderstanding?" A subordinate behind He Feng said with a solemn face.
"No, some adults have misunderstood. These boatmen are new to the city and don't know the rules. I've asked someone to teach them."
"You teach them? Which yamen are you from, the Jingzhao Mansion or the Hebo Office? Which adult appointed you to tell the boatmen the rules?"
Looking at him coldly: "How much money have you collected for crossing the river? I heard that the inland rivers in the city will be dredged next year, and the Yamen is short of money. The money you collected for crossing the river can be used to supplement one or two."
The man's feet felt a little weak when he heard it, and he said to please: "Sir, please take a step to speak."
He Feng glanced at him and knew that if he dared to collect cross-river money openly in the inner city, he would not be without some support. He just wanted to hear who was behind him. He was just a soldier stationed in Beijing, and his arms could not twist his thighs.
Go to a sheltered place with that person.
Huo Xi stared at their background and said nothing.
"Xi'er!"
"mother."
"Sister Xi'er."
"It's okay, don't be afraid." Huo Xi comforted them.
Qi Defu and others gathered around: "Xi'er, you called that official?"
Huo Xi nodded.
Everyone was happy that they were saved. Yang asked her, "How do you know him?"
Huo Xi was about to speak when he saw He Feng and the man coming back and stopped talking.
"Scattered, dispersed, don't block the river." Two of He Feng's men waved the boatmen and onlookers to disperse.
The man who looked like the boss of the ship bowed his hand to He Feng, glanced at Huo Xi and others, and got on the ship and left.
"Brother He?"
"It's okay. They won't ask you to collect money for crossing the river in the future. Just feel free to enter the city."
Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Huo Xi didn't speak anymore. She didn't want to know what was going on here, as long as they could go to the city to do business again. She couldn't care about anything else.
"Thank you, sir. Thank you so much. I don't even know what to say." Yang thanked the three of them.
He Feng's eyebrows were light and he nodded towards her.
Huo Xi thought that she owed him such a big favor and didn't know how to express her gratitude: "Brother He, let's take you for a spin in the river to see the excitement? We have wine and tea and fruits on the boat, and I'll treat you to it."
He Feng's two men's eyes lit up after hearing this, and they looked at He Feng.
"We are still patrolling the streets."
"It won't take long. You can patrol the streets while sitting on the boat. Just now you were only on the shore and didn't see what was going on in the river. You just happened to be patrolling along with the boat."
The two men nodded with expectation in their eyes.
Seeing their move, he continued: "It just so happens that we are also afraid that they will retaliate again. They are waiting for us somewhere. You just happened to take our boat for a patrol. Firstly, you can see whether they are acting in disguise, and secondly, they are also waiting for us.
Doing business."
"That's right, sir, we are also doing business."
"Yes, what if that person doesn't keep his word, waits for them ahead, impounds their boat, and throws people into the water? We just happened to help the people along the way to check on the situation."
The two men tried to persuade each other, and He Feng had no choice but to get on the boat.
A good man will do his best, and if it turns out to be what the boy said, that group of people will do whatever they want to do, so where are they waiting for revenge?
Three people boarded three boats.
Huo Xi and others were grateful to them, and took them for a long drive around the Qinhuai River and various rivers in the inner city. They accompanied them to see the scenery and the excitement, and invited them to eat wine, tea, fruit and snacks, and waited on them.
It's more fun than taking a cruise.
He Feng and two of his men stood on the steps on the shore, waved to Huo Xi and others, and watched them leave.
The two men picked up the things in their hands and looked at them again and again: "Boss, you are a very good friend. At such a young age, you are so understanding of the world. Look at these things given to us, including food and drink.
There’s enough to eat for the whole family.”
"Yes, this kid is very nice. We said no, and he also said he would give it to our family. We had a hard time searching the streets and couldn't take care of it at home, so we just happened to bring some food back for them to enjoy. I'm embarrassed to say this.
reject."
"That's right, that kid is like a human spirit. Since the ban was lifted, we have been busy until now. We have said how lively and lively the capital is, but we have never seen it. Tonight, we can be considered lively."
"I am so happy for the first time on the job. It is more comfortable than taking a cruise ship."
"As for the large cruise ship, there are a lot of people making a lot of noise. We can't afford to hire one with our salary."
"No."
He Fenger listened to what the two men said to each other, and then watched the boats on the river gradually sailing away from his sight. The little man standing on the bow of the boat waving to him was no longer visible.
Nibu: "If you see them in the future, help them if you can."
"That's necessary, the boss's little friend is our little friend!"
On the other side, Huo Xi and others also decided not to do business anymore and headed out of the city to Xishui Pass.
"Xi'er, can we really go into the city again? We won't meet the boss of the ship again, right?"
"What kind of boat boss? He's not from the government. Why should he charge us money to cross the river? It's as if they built the inland river. It's really funny."
Seeing that Xiao Miao'er was so angry, Huo Xi smiled and poked her cheek, and when it deflated, she couldn't help but laugh.
"snort."
Xiao Miao'er turned her head and hugged Huo Xi's arm again: "Sister Xi'er, I still want to go to the city to sell goods."
She blinked her eyes, fearing that she would hear Huo Xi refuse, "I can make money selling goods, carry guests, and watch the excitement. Our boat can be used as a cruise ship and also as a ship for selling goods. It's great."
"Aren't you afraid that what happened tonight will happen again?" This little girl is very courageous. If you train her well, she will be good.
"I'm not afraid!"
Xiao Miao'er puffed up her chest. If she hadn't been so young, she would have just thrown the boat boss into the water. Huh, she's so good at swimming now that she's not afraid of them.
"Then let's come again."
"Is it really still possible to come?" Yang and others asked.
"Yes. Then the boat boss's good deeds were ruined by Brother He tonight. He probably won't collect money for crossing the river in a big way. And the boatmen on the inland river will not let them continue to collect money if they see that the official is willing to come forward to support them."
The boatmen on the inland rivers rowed boats to carry passengers, but half of their hard-earned money was taken away, and they were feeling dissatisfied.
It would be fine if the government collected them, but these people still don’t know where the cats and dogs are.
They usually let them pull the tiger's skin to pull the flag, but ordinary people dare not fight with the government for fear that there are people in these boat gangs. Now that they know that the government is willing to come forward and see that the other party is also afraid of the government, they will collect money from the boatmen. The boatmen estimate
Will rebel.
After listening to the analysis, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and felt refreshed and cheerful.
"But we can only do business for these ten days and a half. It's the New Year's Day soon, and we can come before the Lantern Festival. But after the Lantern Festival, there will be a curfew, and we can't go into the city anymore. We can just go fishing in peace."
Just sell your goods in Waihe."
They have no power and power, so ordinary people should not fight with local snakes.
Just fight for a share and stable money.
"Yeah, yeah, I listen to sister Xi'er." Xiao Miao'er nodded.
"Okay, let's work until the Lantern Festival." Uncle Zou and others all said.
"Little Huo Xi, then you should think carefully about how we will sell goods in the future. We have to find a way to make more money so that we can live a more abundant life this New Year. After the New Year, we will go fishing hard."
Huo Xi smiled at Qi Defu and said, "Okay, I'll think about it carefully."
She was very satisfied with the performance of Qi Defu, Chang You, and Mi Mancang today. These three were all partners who could be roped in to work together.
"Xiao Miao'er, let's take stock and see what items have been sold out today, what items are not easy to sell, and what items are left. Let's bring some good ones to the city tomorrow."
"good!"
Xiao Miaoer responded happily. She likes taking inventory the most!
After following Huo Xi for a few times, the little girl was very enthusiastic about this job. She didn't forget to greet Yu Ya: "Sister, come too."
Yang smiled and Xi'er took inventory, so she counted the coins to see how much she had earned today. She would be able to divide the money soon.
