The light of the sword is like the moon reflecting on Kyushu

Chapter 622
There were a lot of people on the pier, men, women, old and young, of all schools and classes, about a few hundred people.There has been a long queue, and they are getting on board in an orderly manner.

In fact, there are not many boats moored on the river, only four, but there are quite a few bamboo rafts moored, more than 100 of them.Although it seems to be scattered and disorderly, the order has been arranged long ago, and no one dares to stuff it indiscriminately.When the bamboo rafts are full, one walks, one walks and then stops one by one, in an orderly manner.

Although they lined up, the same group of people did not line up in a straight line, but chatted together in twos and threes.There was a lot of voices, most of them spoke the dialect of central Sichuan, Feng Jiuxiao and the others could only understand a few words occasionally.

Several big men in uniforms kept order.

As expected, there were very few people queuing up to get on the boat, but there was a long queue of people preparing to take the bamboo rafts.

Feng Jiuxiao looked at many well-dressed people in the queue for the bamboo raft, and wondered: Are they all good at living?Don't want to spend more money to take a boat?But if you want to save money, why should you dress so expensively?

No matter how expensive the building boat is, how expensive can it be?At least it's okay to take a car or boat, right?

There are two building boats and two car boats moored on the river.

Among them, the slightly larger building boats have only three floors. This may be related to the rapid flow of the Yangtze River in the Sichuan-Shukou section. The boats are small and easy to turn around. Compared with the five-tooth warships of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it is not much worse!

Pang Shiwu heard that in the waters of central Sichuan, the captains of the Yangtze River boats usually manage a section of the waters. Because passengers need to disembark and transfer to another new boat downstream when they reach the rapids and dangerous shoals, they have to pay the boat fee to the other boat boss.In addition, the waterway is long and there are many natural dangers, so the Yangtze River has been isolated into several independent sections of the river. The Paijiao, Xueshan Sect, and Meishan Sect in the area are the same, everyone occupies a place and dominates one side, and each faction does not have a big figure with amazing talent to dominate each faction.

But the wharf gangs in Shuchuan seem to be slightly better than them. Although they do not belong to each other, they are much more united than many gangs downstream, and cooperation outweighs differences.

All gangs are "peace is the most important" and "harmony makes money", so after years of evolution, the various gangs have experienced the initial stage of "the well water does not violate the river water", and gradually developed to the "people who do not love the soil return the love" In the "township party alliance" structure, the various gangs gradually began to support each other and help each other.Because since everyone is talking about the words of Sichuan and Shu, and drinking the water of the Yangtze River, they may still be of the same origin a few years ago, and the relationship is naturally closer than the "five lakes and four seas" that "five lakes and four seas are brothers". So why don't you "earn money together"?Why are you beating yourself to death?This can't be thanks to the growth of the Demon Cult in Xishu!After the Demon Sect came to Western Shu, it recruited strange people from all over the world, and constantly merged or recruited weaker gangs. Therefore, these wharf gangs in the Yangtze River Basin naturally abandoned their past grievances and formed a non-aligned "alliance".

Therefore, the wharf gangs along the Yangtze River are getting along very well with each other now. Whoever should take care of the lot, and whoever should earn the money will earn it. Everyone has become more and more tacit, and some rules have been formed tacitly. .

Feng Jiuxiao felt that Paijiao, Meishanjiao and other Central Plains martial arts gangs were obviously one level behind.

In order to grab a single business, they can use all their strength to fight each other desperately!

Of course, everyone is a hero in the rivers and lakes. In the world of the rivers and lakes, face is naturally more important than life.Who dares to take Lao Tzu's business on Lao Tzu's territory? Who can swallow this tone?Naturally, he wanted to chop him up so badly!

But in Feng Jiuxiao's eyes, what everyone is fighting for is not the so-called spirit at all, and the word "interest" still cannot escape.Everyone is fighting for money, power, and finally reputation!
Three Realms of Life: Seeing a mountain is a mountain, seeing a mountain is not a mountain, seeing a mountain is a mountain.

This is originally a passage from Master Qingyuan Xingsi: When you see a mountain, it is a mountain; when you see water, it is water.Later, when I saw knowledge with my own eyes, there was an entry point, seeing that mountains are not mountains, and seeing water is not water.Now I have a resting place. According to the past, mountains are just mountains, and water is just water.

How many things in the world are like layers of fog, when you lift it away, the deepest secrets are often right in front of your eyes.

The simpler the heart, the simpler things will be.

The more complicated people's hearts are, the more complicated their perspectives will be.

Regarding the fierce competition, Feng Jiuxiao felt that it could not be entirely blamed on gangs like Paijiao.Because in some places, not only gangs compete fiercely, but ordinary people often fight with each other to fight for water!
Feng Jiuxiao feels that the key is to look at the wealth of a place!

The Shuchuan area is rich and rich, and it is known as the land of abundance. Generally speaking, everyone has food to eat and clothes to wear. Therefore, relatively speaking, there are fewer people who are fussy and small-bellied, and more people who know how to share politely.

The so-called knowledge of etiquette with sufficient wealth, those relatively poor and backward places, the so-called poor villages, poor mountains and bad waters, where people lack clothes and clothing, and products are scarce, these things are all there are, and there are so many people. If you don’t have enough, you have to be poor and generous. other people?
The reality is that whoever imitates Kong Rongli to others will starve to death!

That's why there is a saying that "troublemakers come out of poor mountains and bad waters"!
As long as there is food to eat and clothes to wear, who is willing to be a troublemaker and then be wiped out by the government and army?
The four walked through the crowd to the pier. There were too many people. In order to prevent the innocent people from being trampled on by the horses, the four led the horses.

Since the four of them were all young people, well-dressed and imposing, the crowd gave way wherever they went.

Feng Jiuxiao glanced at them, and found that among these people were old men with white hair and wrinkled faces, young men with heroic faces, characters from the rivers and lakes with sharp eyes, and government officials with official documents. , Two or three monks, it is really all three teachings and nine streams.

When the four of them came to the river, Chili was shocked by the building boat!
Louchuan, originally a warship, got its name because it is tall and wide, and looks like a building.Now it is used to play the Yangtze River.

The building is three feet high and ten feet long. Three large sails are hung high, and the whole ship is magnificent!

The first floor of the building boat is the hut, the second floor is the Fei hut, and the uppermost floor is the noble room.Each floor is equipped with a protective female wall to defend against the bows and arrows and arrows shot by the enemy.There are arrow holes on the female wall for launching bows and crossbows.In order to defend against enemy fire, the ship was covered with leather to insulate heat.

During the war, flags, banners, knives and guns were often placed on the buildings and ships to enhance their momentum, and various equipment such as ropes, sculls, sails and boats were used to enhance their functions.Now these things are naturally removed.

Feng Jiuxiao naturally wanted to choose the best building boat.

When Pang Shiwu asked the owner of the price, his face suddenly changed!
Ten taels per person, the horses actually cost one tael of silver!One horse one tael, four horses four taels!

It really is a sky-high price!
