Master, I want to marry the eldest brother

Chapter 18
The coolies did not have the capital to become apprentices in the shipyard, so they could only pick up the leftovers of the shipyard workers and beg for food. How could they dare to offend them? Some heavy work that does not require craftsmanship, so there is a place in Shazhou that looks like a middle-aged man: outside the back door of the brothel.

Why is it outside the back door of the brothel?Guys here can only come here when they have saved enough money. Generally, they come here often, either the shipyard owner or the shopkeepers. They are the ones who hire people, not the guys. But they always order a few small dishes to eat "joyful feelings", and there are often leftovers, and the leftovers are dumped outside the back door, which becomes a place for coolies to "dinner".

It was the first time in Shazhou that a "coolie" like Yan Xiaotang swaggered to the dock to find work.

This piece of dock has a name, sand slot pit, and it does not belong to any single company.

The top class sea people on the sandbar live on the cliffs in winter when the sea market is closed, near the city wall of Zhaolai. Before the sea market opens, these people will come down to the sandbar from above to mend boats and fishing nets and prepare to go to sea. In the heart of a group of sea people, they have already grasped a corner of the Yong country's household registration documents, and it is only a matter of time.

The fact is also the same, this group of people have more or less contacts with the people in Zhaolai Mansion Yamen, maybe they are far from qualified to appear in front of the Lord Fu Cheng, but they have something to say with the concierge, Zaoli, and even the master. The relationship between a sentence and a half, walking on the cliff even if you dare not straighten your back, but you can act arrogantly when you come to the sandbar. Anyway, this is a lousy nest with no laws and no justice to speak of.

But in the eyes of other shipyard owners who can't get close, the top seamen are also seamen. Everyone is a seaman and has a dock. Why should I be a dwarf?Clearly not daring to burn or kill for fear of alarming the government above, but the small fights and troubles never stopped during the mirage.

The hatred between the two sides is getting bigger and bigger. Gradually, those who can live on the cliff are called people from the upper tide, and those who can't get on the cliff are called people from the low tide. The people are lowly, as if changing their name can make them more noble.

The ebbing people are the most powerful people on the sandbar at this time, and the Merchant Dockyard is also one of them.

The large shipyard in Shacaokeng is the base camp of ebb people.

After Shang Judong was beaten in his own dock the day before, Master Shang got the news and rushed back to see his precious son and the dock guys all standing outside the dock. He was wondering, so he heard a "boom", and the wooden roof of the dock collapsed Make a big hole!
His family's dock was repaired very diligently. It was definitely not made of rotten planks from the sunken ship. It was very strong. How could it collapse?
Master Shang almost suspected that he was going the wrong way, but when he saw his son outside the dock, his apprentices were all inexplicably panicked and almost pissed their pants, he felt angry.

"what happened!?"

Far away, Master Shang shouted.

Hearing his father's voice, Shang Judong tremblingly pushed away the buddy who was supporting him, turned around staggeringly, sucked his nose and held his breath, and shouted earth-shatteringly: "Father! Someone bullied me!!!"

"Boom—"

Following Shang Judong's screams containing countless grievances and sorrows, the area around the big hole on the roof of the dock collapsed again, and the beams inside were exposed.

When Master Shang ran over in a panic, he heard his son say timidly with his legs between his legs: "No, I didn't call you down, did I?"

"You have such a great ability!?" Master Shang scolded his son for the first time before he finished speaking. There was a creaking sound of wood in the dock, his heart trembled, and he couldn't help lowering his voice: "What's going on? "

Shang Judong was wiping his nose and tears, remembering that he was bullied by a little beggar, and then he was blocked and beaten by a brother of the little beggar, and then he was beaten by another brother of the little beggar... ...said it again.

"One person!?" Master Shang's heart trembled. He could believe that three people beat his son three times. Every time one person came, one-on-three, one-on-three, one-to-many, he beat his son. He didn't believe the three meals, he only accepted the strong and strong apprentices, and he firmly refused the thinner ones, not to mention one who could beat the skinny beggars outside three or four, one pair and two would not work The problem is that he has a problem with his ears?It wasn't that one of his people overturned a group, but one person overturned all of his people?Along the way, part of the dock was also demolished.

Shang Judong bit his lip, dazzled in his eyes, as if recalling the scene at that time, his legs clamped even tighter.

The more Master Shang looked at it, the more angry he became, and he slapped him with a "slap": "Slapped you and the whole dock crew by one person!? That must be two feet tall and one foot wide?"

Where did Shang Judong ever get hit by him? He was slapped and rolled to the ground. No one dared to help him, just like when there was thunder and lightning on the boat. .

Shang Judong gasped and let out a whistle, his guts were about to burst, he howled: "Not one, but two!"

Master Shang was condescending, looking at his son with a bluish face: "Two?"

"Three, no, no, it's a group of people!!" Shang Judong sobbed.

Master Shang looked at the others - said that one person beat a group of them, even his precious son was beaten by him, and the other guys said, wouldn't they be thrown into the water to feed the fish?Who dares to say.

"How many people are there?" Master Shang suddenly shouted.

"group!"

"It's the group that the young master said."

"Yes, a large group."

Master Shang didn't believe that one person could beat up so many of his buddies, even the pirates couldn't do it!I heard that everyone said it was a large group, but I believed it.About this way, I can live with face and feel more comfortable psychologically.

Looking up at the dock that was still haggard, Master Shang decided to call the low-tide people to discuss it. Unidentified bandits came to the sandbank. This is not his family's business!
So on the last day, all the dignitaries of the low-tide people came to Shacaokeng, and gathered in the largest warehouse to discuss matters.There are fifteen low-tide residents in Shacaokeng, three of which are the largest: the Weng family, the Tan family, and the merchants.The merchants are at the end of the three middle rows. The Weng family has four boats, the Tan family has three boats, the merchants have two boats, and the other fifteen have only one boat each. They sound similar to other families who go out to sea, but the difference between them is that the boats are big. It is a bunch of people, and there is a dock, which can repair ships and even build ships, which is amazing.

Generally, a seaman’s family uses a broken boat and then rebuilds it into a house to live in. However, the boat that goes into the sea is gone, so they can only buy it from the dockyard. For sea people who rely on the sea to eat the sea, it is quite remarkable to have a dock, and the dock may not necessarily collapse if the brothel closes down.

The merchant's dockyard is large and there are many men. He built two boats and repaired some small boats at the same time. This is already a great family business on the sandbar. This is the weight of the merchant's words.

Besides, there is still a month before leaving Haishi, and there is not much repairing and beating work. Everyone is idle, and they are talking about the beating of Shangjudong as a joke. Master Shang invited everyone to go, out of curiosity. I have to understand the truth, so I got a neat place, and there is no shortage in the family.

There are two or three from each family, and a few guys, there are also about a hundred people. The big guys from each family are scattered around, either squatting on the boxes or leaning on the baskets. Discipline.

In the middle circle, there are [-] low-tide civilian shipyard owners, each of which has its own accountant, and those who can’t afford the accountant can take care of the accounts. You can’t lose face when you come to Shacaokeng to discuss things, and you have to bring a second-in-command, even The third in command, so there are more than [-] people in the inner circle of the warehouse, and they are much brighter than the guys in terms of clothing.

The only merchants were Mr. Shang and his son Shang Judong. His family also had a counting house and a second in command.However, Mr. Accountant scolded Shang Judong as "mud", and he was fired under the pretext of being fired. Since then, no one who can read dared to go to his house; his second in command was poached by the Weng family a year ago. As a result, the two families added a lot of filth, and they didn't deal with each other very much.

At this time, Shang Judong looked at the big guy from the Weng family opposite with his black eyes, and said bitterly: "This time my family will take the lead... I'm ashamed to come."

That big guy is called Dongzi, he is tall, extremely strong, with dark skin and piercing eyes, he was dug out by the Weng family, and he would not dare to make a sound when he meets Shang Judong on the road, but today I saw his father's face Big, everyone came together, and Young Master Shang became more courageous.

Dongzi didn't speak, he was already the second in command of Weng's shipyard, in his eyes, Shangjudong was nothing but a prodigal son, and he didn't bother to care about it at all, but his current master, Weng Chuandeng, was here, how could Shangjudong be tolerated? A little hozen like Dong jumped up and down in front of him, without squinting his eyes, he said, "Oh, so I didn't invite my family, so I'm leaving."

As he said that, he was about to stand up, and the dock owners who had a good relationship with the Weng family saw that this matter could make a fuss, and hurriedly put on a posture to leave.

Master Shang would not have invited everyone if he didn't need it, so he couldn't let them go, but he flicked his beard and didn't get up to stop him. Bandit, Boss Weng wants to protect himself, so he doesn't care about others?"

When Weng Chuandeng heard this, he asked back: "It's just that three little beggars beat up your Shangjudong. Where did the bandits come from? You're trying to scare people!"

Everyone has heard that even if it was near the merchant dock, they didn't dare to look at it when they heard too much noise. There are really a few who believe that they are frightened.

Shazhou has no official government, and it is uniquely blessed. When the robbers have nowhere to go, they will not dislike the dilapidated and dirty places here, and come to hide from trouble. Not to mention, half of the hundred or so people in this warehouse may not see the light with lawsuits on their backs. Otherwise, you will save money and go to the cliff to become a tide dweller.
