Chapter 72 Attack
Chapter 72 Attack
fifteen days.
It took Gao Jian fifteen days to finally sort out all the docks in the outer city of Cangzhou.
This depends on two people.
One is Li Jun, needless to say.
The other one is Shui Cang Cang.
To be honest, Gao Jian was a little shocked. Shui Cangcang actually sorted out all those documents weighing thousands of pounds by himself, sorted them into categories, and corrected all the mistakes and omissions.
It turns out that the children of aristocratic families do have some real skills.
Just a little side effect.
That is, Shui Cangcang no longer has the image of a gentle and elegant young man. He looks like a social animal who is about to die from overwork.
Perhaps this young man never thought in his life that he would be so tired.
Shui Cang now looks pale, has dark circles under his eyes, dry and cracked lips, and has lost a lot of weight.
There was no way he couldn't help losing weight. He processed several thousand kilograms of documents in fifteen days. It was already very impressive that he was able to finish the task.
"Master...how about we find some registrars from the Ximen family to do this?" The servant boy asked worriedly.
"No need. This person must be testing me. I have the important responsibility of being the head of the family. How can I take it lightly? Go and cook me some ginseng soup." Shui Cangcang waved his hand to dismiss the servant.
But at this time, Li Jun came back.
Hearing the sound of Li Jun coming back, Shui Cangcang shook subconsciously.
In the past few days, every time Li Jun came back, he would carry back documents weighing about a thousand or several hundred kilograms.
He felt a little...painful when he heard this voice now.
However, how could a member of the Shui family retreat like this? He bit his lip, took a sip of the ginseng soup, and his face once again showed an abnormal blush.
Li Jun walked into the room and saw the haggard Shui Cangcang.
Shu Cangcang's eyes suddenly lit up.
This look made Li Jun feel a little embarrassed.
Shui Cangcang immediately said: "Is it over?"
"Well, it's over, Mr. Shui. The last time was the last batch. This time, the boss asked me to come here, saying that you can have a good rest."
call!
Shui Cangcang relaxed all of a sudden, his originally straight back collapsed, and his lifeless face instantly became full of life. He stood up and sat on the bed.
The beds and quilts in this kind of inn were all worn out. Although they looked quite good to Li Jun, they were just a piece of solid cloth with some torn cotton wool in between, which was obviously not up to Shui Cangcang's standards.
But Shui Cangcang didn't care about all that. She just lay back, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.
He didn't even take off his clothes and lay in bed with them on.
The book boy was horrified when he saw this!
But the young master had already fallen asleep, and he didn't dare to wake him up. He was so anxious that he turned around in circles, and no sound was made while he turned around.
Perhaps it was a habit he had since childhood, but he always walked on tiptoe, making virtually no sound.
Li Jun didn't say anything. Since the other party was already asleep, he would go out to work.
After being so tired, he should have a good rest. He felt a little embarrassed every time he moved things.
I heard that the other party is a young man from a wealthy family, and he condescended to come here to do this kind of work... I don't know how the boss recruited him.
But no matter what, since the other party helped, Li Jun treated him as his own.
Thinking of this, the servant boy waited on him until he went to sleep, carefully picking lice for him.
Li Jun went out to work.
Because work starts today.
In fact, in the previous fifteen days, all these docks were not in operation.
Since there is no work, there is naturally no salary.
All the income during this period was actually given by the employer.
There are nearly 100,000 trackers. If each person earns ten coins a day, the daily cost would be one million coins, or one hundred gold coins. This is not a small amount of money.
However, ten cents is actually not a small amount. Sometimes they only earn ten cents after a busy day, more or less. In a year, they earn three or four thousand cents. This is the life of ordinary people.
So, everyone is very satisfied.
But in these fifteen days, the boss has already spent 1,500 gold.
Obviously, this was not sustainable, so after working for fifteen days and sorting out all the foremen's regular customers, Gao Jian personally went to find these anxious owners.
The cargo owners were also very anxious. Without laborers, their goods were piled up on the ship and could not be unloaded. They did not know what to do, but they could not hire 100,000 people to slowly find them. They could only recruit temporary workers and move the goods bit by bit.
Now, a large-scale labor leader came to them, and they readily agreed.
They don't care who the foreman is.
As long as someone unloads the goods, it will be fine.
So, the dock completely restored its previous order today, and Li Jun naturally started working.
"Brother Jun'er, the boss has spent so much money, but he really doesn't want to take our water?" a strong worker asked Li Jun.
"Don't worry, the boss is a man of his word. From now on, we can get 20 yuan for one day's work! But everyone should remember that this is the boss's kindness, and we should not be ungrateful!"
"What are you talking about, brother Jun'er! We all remember the kindness our boss has shown us!"
"That's right, from now on, no matter what the boss asks us to do, we will do it without hesitation!"
"The boss is a good man with a sense of justice. Brother Jun'er is also trustworthy. We will listen to you!"
"Yes, yes!"
"Me too!"
The manual laborers patted their chests.
Although they had not received much education, they knew who had brought these days to them. In addition to awe, they were naturally grateful. With this insight, their income almost doubled!
They didn't understand what Gao Jian was going to do, but the money they got was real. If anyone dared to disrupt this kind of life, these trackers and laborers would never agree!
The dock is bustling with activity, wages have doubled, and the men are working much harder!
After a day's work, although everyone was still covered in sweat, the atmosphere was very cheerful. After getting their wages, some people saved it, some used it to buy wine, and some used it to buy meat. But no matter what they chose, everyone was very happy.
Li Jun was also very happy. He was one of those people who saved the money, but he did not stop everyone from enjoying themselves.
You can see that the hard workers on the dock are all celebrating. Some of the boatmen and laborers who are familiar with each other pooled their money, bought some meat and pancakes, and added some offal soup, and ate until their bellies were full.
Others drank and threw pieces of seaweed at others, then chased each other around like children until they burped and vomited.
Some people started to sing songs. They were not very nice, but they were the most common songs of the Ku Dali people.
"Get up early at four o'clock to rush to the dock. If the sack is torn, you can mend it!"
"Everyone, carry the buns quickly, to avoid being whipped by the foreman!"
"Laborers have to work even when they are sick, day and night, and overtime."
"It's hard to make a living with the copper coins you earn. The most powerful person is the foreman!" Someone shouted at this time: "There is no foreman now, let's change a song!"
A laborer put down his bowl and responded, "I'll do it. When I was working at home, there was no foreman. That's how we sang over there!"
Then he began to shout:
"A thousand-mile iceberg is afraid of the sun, hey yo yo!"
"A burden of ten thousand pounds is afraid of a strong force! Hehehe!"
"Move a mountain at the end of the year! Hey yo yo!"
"Every household has surplus food every year! Hahahaha!"
Everyone also started singing the tunes and slogans of their hometown.
It didn't matter whether it was used for the dock, tamping land, or somewhere else, it was a song that could be sung right now. For a moment, the entire dock was filled with a happy atmosphere.
When they thought about earning twenty cents a day, which would be six or seven thousand cents a year, everyone couldn't help but feel happy, and some even thought about writing songs for Gao Jian.
I just thought about it for a long time, but I didn't have much culture and couldn't write anything. But I didn't get angry, I just laughed at each other and there was another big laugh.
Li Jun was also among them, laughing and joking with them. He couldn't help himself and bought a bowl of wine with money. He took a sip and tasted it. It tasted sour and spicy, with the aroma of grain.
Comfortable!
It was worth it that he followed his boss around the various docks for fifteen days, it was worth it that Master Shui worked overtime for fifteen days to clean up the documents and accounts, it was worth it that the boss spent money and effort, and also had to deal with those foremen!
If only these days could continue forever.
However, at this time.
The shouts and singing suddenly stopped.
What was heard was a cry of pain and a blowing wind. The sound of the wind actually drowned out the numerous shouts and made the trackers and laborers quiet down.
Then, a voice came: "You bastards! You think you can do it just because you have a backer!? Where is Li Jun? Get him out!"
Li Jun quickly drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp, then walked to the front of the crowd.
In front of him, he saw a familiar figure.
Many foremen came one by one.
A closer look revealed that these foremen all wore specific clothing or carried flags, symbols, etc. Among them were sects, gangs, martial arts schools, and some chambers of commerce, all of which were the many forces in the outer city.
It is obvious that they are here to take revenge under the banner of these organizations.
These foremen, surrounded by a middle-aged man in a robe in the front.
This middle-aged man looked ordinary, but his hands were full of calluses. The "wind sound" just now came from him.
Li Jun's face changed, and he grabbed a boatman nearby and said, "Go find the boss!"
After saying that, he walked forward and said to the foremen, "So it's the foremen, who is this?"
"You seem to be living a good life." A foreman smiled coldly at Li Jun.
"Yes, life is much better without you." Li Jun stood in the front and confronted the foremen.
The trackers and laborers behind him all shrank back a little.
These foremen have always been their masters, whipping them, withholding wages, and even controlling their life and death. In the past, they did not dare to resist the foremen in any way, because that would only lead to death.
Although the situation is different now, but...
The fear deep in my heart cannot be dispelled in just fifteen days.
Li Jun managed to maintain his composure and stood in front without retreating. It was precisely because of his straight back that served as a banner that the trackers and laborers did not disperse.
But everyone can see it.
The other party is a practitioner.
He is a master, the kind of master that ordinary people need to worship, a master that even the gods they usually worship cannot reach.
Li Jun didn’t know this before.
But during these fifteen days, he heard about the division method from Gao Jian.
This state...maybe it's called the 'Second Realm'.
Is this the helper the foremen invited?
This... can he win? This is a master of the Dong family level, right? Dong family said that he is also in the second realm.
When he thought of this, Li Jun felt his fingertips go numb.
Even someone as powerful as the Dong family is only at the second realm.
Are they going to face someone as powerful as their boss? Can these foremen hire someone as powerful as their boss?
Li Jun swallowed his saliva.
But he still held on, and said to the many foremen who came back for revenge: "You should all know that the current owner of the dock is the captain of the Demon Suppression Division, a master of the second realm!"
"A master of the second realm?" The middle-aged man who summoned the wind smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I am one too."
"If I kill you all, he should come looking for me, right? I really want to meet your boss. I've been looking for him for a long time."
"Senior, kill him! It's this man. He is as hateful as Gao Jian! It was he who instigated those peasants to quit their jobs. Gao Jian alone is not enough to achieve anything!" the foremen behind shouted.
"Okay." The middle-aged man who summoned the wind nodded.
Then he stretched out his hand and whispered, "The wind is rising."
There is a howling wind in the sky!
The violent wind condensed into a strong air arrow, which fell from the sky, as if it was going to penetrate Li Jun's head and penetrate his entire body!
Fortunately, at the last moment, Li Jun fell to the side, so the attack did not hit him, but it still scratched his skin, and countless small wounds appeared on the left half of his body in an instant.
It was like being blown by an electric fan made of blades. His clothes on the left half of his body were torn to pieces, and every inch of his skin was cut! In an instant, he was half covered in blood!
It's not an instantly fatal injury, but it can still be fatal if left alone.
The destructive power of the second realm can easily blow up a house in one move. If they are given some time, flattening a street will be no problem.
Therefore, even the aftermath almost caused Li Jun to die here.
But dying too.
Because he didn't have the strength to dodge the second blow.
The shrill whistling sound of wind in the sky continued to come, and the sound was like some kind of sharp whistle, rushing towards Li Jun.
However, at this moment——
boom!
A loud noise was heard from the inn next door, and the window of the inn was suddenly opened, and an extremely haggard head came out.
The man had messy hair and an unhappy face, and he shouted angrily: "What are you making so much noise outside?! Can't you let me sleep? You all want to die, right? "
The head looked like it had kidney deficiency and was about to die.
The whole scene fell silent.
"Who?" The middle-aged man who summoned the wind frowned and looked towards the inn.
Who dares to speak to him like that? Are you trying to kill yourself?
After discovering that it was a man with a face full of kidney deficiency, he lightly hooked his finger, and a whistling wind arrow flew towards the inn!
