Chapter 632: The Ship Owners Pleased
As soon as Manager An and others left, the laborers who were waiting at the gate of the yard surrounded them.
The first thing they asked when they came up was, "How was it? Did you see Lord Shen?"
Wu Xiaozhu was still immersed in excitement and could not speak clearly, but he just wanted to say: "I saw it, I saw it! Lady Shen, she is like a fairy! She is beautiful and speaks well! She also helped us to collect money for the New Year!"
The other person laughed and said, "Wow, you little one even knows about New Year's money. You have to give it to your mother when you take it home."
Wu Xiaozhu waved his hands quickly: "No, it's not our wages, it's New Year's money!"
Now the other party was confused. He asked in disbelief, "You mean, there was extra New Year's money? Was it given by Mo Er?"
Wu Xiaozhu nodded, took out a small piece of silver from his pocket, and held it carefully in his palm: "This is a lot."
"Such a big piece!" Everyone outside the courtyard was shocked when they saw the piece of silver. "How much is such a big piece? It should be two cents, right? All of you have two cents in total, right? Go and exchange it for copper coins later?"
I think this explanation is the most reasonable. With Manager An, nine people will share 200 coins, so each person can get more than 20 coins, which is not a small amount.
But who would have thought that Wu Xiaozhu put the silver coins into his arms and shook his head vigorously: "What do you mean it's for everyone to share? This is mine alone! It's not two cents, it's three cents!"
"What?!"
"What did you say?!"
"Three hundred coins for the New Year alone?!"
"Why should I give it to you? Could it be that Master Shen saw that you were young and asked Mo Er to take care of you?"
"No!" Wu Xiaozhu always felt that putting himself and Lord Shen together was disrespectful to Lord Shen, so he quickly explained: "Lord Shen asked for it on behalf of all of us. Everyone has 300 coins, and you will also have some when you go in later!"
"what?!"
At this time, outside the courtyard, there was a burst of "ah" sounds.
Three hundred coins, no one believed it.
But why would such a little guy like Wu Xiaozhu lie to them?
Everyone focused their attention on Manager An: "Brother An, is it true... that you have three hundred coins?"
Manager An kept it a secret: "You'll know once you go in. Old Ji, it's your turn, go now!"
Manager Ji and his men walked into the courtyard with an incredulous step.
A quarter of an hour later, several people walked out again with incredulous steps. It was not difficult to see that they were still confused, but the joy on their faces could not be faked.
"It's true!" The others took a look and were extremely confident, "Those of us who do hard labor can also get New Year's money!"
Manager An was the "person involved" and no longer concealed the matter. He sat on the ground and described the previous situation in the house vividly to everyone.
They all knew very well that if Lord Shen had not spoken for them, Mo Er would rather take the money and throw it away to Xiankuo than give it to them.
but......
"At least the money came from Mo Er's pocket." Everyone smiled at each other and said, "Then today we won't curse him to choke to death while drinking water, fall to death while walking, or get hit by a car. We just hope that he... can be happy today."
They actually don’t know whether Mo Erkuai is happy or not, but their happiness is real!
It is always unsafe to carry such a large sum of money on you. You even have to walk carefully, for fear that the silver will fall out if you take a big step, let alone move goods!
Everyone decided to put the money back home first, and then go back to the dock to move the goods for Lord Shen!
......
After a busy period, Shen Zheng finally returned to the dock.
This time she became famous at the dock. Countless workers looked at her with emotional eyes, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Mo Er followed her and pointed at the large ship of the Caoyun Division and said, "Master Shen, is that the ship?"
Shen Zheng nodded: "Just as I said, unload them one by one. But we have to send a small boat over first to pick up the people on the boat."
Mo Er was cautious and asked, "Sir, is the Deputy Governor of the Canal Transport Department you mentioned still on the boat?"
Shen Zheng looked at the big ship in the distance and said, "It's there."
Mo Er's knees went weak. He thought Shen Zheng was just trying to scare him. Who would have thought that she wouldn't get off the boat? What was she waiting for?
He quickly called for help and sent the largest and cleanest boat to pick up the ancestor of the Caoyunsi.
Shen Zheng took Wang Guangjin and Mo Qingwan and walked slowly towards the shore.
The laborers received the money they deserved and became more motivated than before. Some even took the initiative to pick up brooms and start sweeping.
The boat owners were confused and caught a few workers to ask, "Did Mo Er really pay you when you went over there just now?"
They knew Mo Er better than the laborers and knew what he was thinking, but they were still a little skeptical.
The laborer looked towards Shen Zheng with a proud look on his face, as if he was answering something irrelevant, but also as if he had said everything: "Lord Shen is there."
The boat owners stopped asking questions and looked at the woman walking slowly in the distance.
This was also their first time meeting Lord Shen. They had heard about the construction of a wharf in Tongan County a long time ago. If they wanted to trade with Tongan County and do business in the surrounding counties, they would have to go through the Tongan Wharf.
Come to think of it, this person is also the one they want to please!
Several boat owners looked at each other, brushed off the non-existent dust on their clothes, put on what they thought was the most appropriate smile, and walked over to greet him.
"Master Shen! Master Shen! Oh, seeing is believing. It is such a great honor to meet you at the dock. I will have to tell my relatives and friends about you dozens of times when I go home for the New Year!"
Shen Zheng was looking for Wei Que on countless small boats when she was stopped by these people who suddenly appeared.
She nodded slightly.
The boat owners were not discouraged and began to introduce themselves: "Sir Shen, I am in the silk business, which is similar to the cotton business in Sir Shen's county..."
"I am in the jewelry business! Lord Shen, I feel that many of the jewelry on the ship seem to be tailor-made for you..."
Shen Zheng listened to them talking while looking at the river.
A dark-skinned man who could rival Wang Guangjin came by boat. Looking at his figure, he seemed...
It is Weique.
She tilted her head and said, "Everyone, I have something to do today. If it's business, you can talk to the president of the county chamber of commerce."
"Ok?"
The ship owners looked at each other.
The president of the Chamber of Commerce? Where is he?
Wang Guangjin stepped forward at the right time and stood between the others and Shen Zheng: "I am Wang Guangjin, the president of Tongan Chamber of Commerce. If you have anything to say, please talk to me."
"Uh......"
Looking at the black guy in front of them, the ship owners were a little at a loss. They didn't want to discuss business at all, they just wanted to show their faces in front of Lord Shen first!
