Chapter 661 Going to the city to work
The breeze on the top of the mountain rustled the leaves, and the two armies were slightly embarrassed.
Under normal circumstances, the two sides should be at war with each other instead of being polite face to face. No need to guess, they must be imitating a certain leader who boldly took over the general to make money. As the saying goes, a penny can defeat a hero. Without money, soldiers are not stable. Except
When it comes to personal expenses, we always have to take care of the family and the children. No one is immune.
The men looked at the snake demon soldier's light and cool leather armor with envy. They were even more surprised by the female snake demon's beauty at close range.
The leader is always a resolute man with a short beard, a white military uniform that is washed cleanly, and his hair is neatly styled. It can be seen that he is trying hard to not look so downtrodden.
The man was very torn, but he still had the guts to salute Qiao Jin with cupped fists.
The other party has a high military rank, so it is not shameful to salute.
"General, we want to... go to Jiangcheng to work. Please... make it easier for us."
The man with a resolute face lowered his head and said nothing. The more than seventy subordinates behind him were quiet, staring at Qiao Jin with expectant eyes. Qiao Jin looked at the boss who lowered his head sadly and didn't know what expression to use. He couldn't ridicule, let alone show any emotion.
Sympathy and pity will embarrass a strong man.
"Xiao Yezi, take this boss to the city government office."
"yes!"
Qiao Jin looked at the weapons in their hands.
"If you go to the city, please store the weapons at the outpost and take them away when you come back."
"It should."
The brief exchange made the resolute man's face turn red. Perhaps he never thought that one day he would go to his opponent's house to make money. There was no other way. The above was too harsh and there was no money left, and there would be problems. He could only imitate a colleague and take risks.
Xiao Yezi led more than seventy Yan soldiers down the mountain and left.
When passing by the outpost, they all took off their weapons and put them in the warehouse without any worry. With the combat power of the snake demon soldiers, there is no need to take the seventy people seriously, let alone Tan Mo's broken knives and bows, even if they give them away for free.
want.
The female snake demon soldier who was in charge of guarding the warehouse while the weapons were being stored had a strange look on her face.
The short beard and resoluteness embarrass the general man.
It is estimated that the female snake demon is not satisfied with the waste of useless junk in the warehouse...
More than seventy people followed Xiao Zizi curiously and walked toward Jiangcheng. There was a gray-white hard and smooth road built on the mountain, which was very strong. There was a checkpoint not far away for inspection and questioning.
On the way, Mr. Jiang chatted with Xiao Zizi to ease the atmosphere.
"This female general, I don't know what I can do when I go to Jiangcheng."
"I probably go to the dock to work. Recently, the number of merchant ships has increased and they need to carry goods. Other jobs require a certain technical foundation and cannot be done. In fact, the dock is quite good and it is not very tiring."
I always don’t understand what technology is, and it sounds like it’s a craftsman. Rumor has it that the Southern Wilderness Snake Demon Territory does not have low status and does not discriminate against craftsmen. Businessmen regard it as a world of gods, and scholars sneer at it, calling it a land of strange skills and ingenuity.
However, the quality of goods in Nanhuang is extremely good, and ordinary people always like to buy goods from here.
He didn't understand what the technical basis was. He thought it was a blacksmith, carpenter, or tailor in the Central Plains. In fact, it was completely different. He needed to read, read, and learn arithmetic, and he had to undergo pre-job training. If he was illiterate, he couldn't arithmetic, and he couldn't understand rulers and various forms. There was no such thing.
It is difficult for a knowledgeable person to become an excellent worker.
Xiao Yezi suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, what do you do when you come here to work?"
"It'll be okay. It's our turn to be stationed at the Xishan outpost this month. We can just go back in a month. We have to find a way to survive and make money for our brothers. If there is nothing else, we have enough strength."
It's funny to think about it. It's inexplicably embarrassing to care about the other person's worries.
While walking, I met a group of seven or eight men dressed as Yanjun, wearing big and small bags and shiny faces, chatting and laughing.
It was the first time that Mr. Jiang saw Paoze in the territory of the snake demon. He didn't know whether to lower his head and turn a blind eye or say hello. Unexpectedly, he waved and nodded to say hello with a look like "you're here too". It was obviously not his first time traveling to and from the border.
Walking through a winding mountain road, I saw a majestic city on the bank of the surging river in the distance...
The soldiers were surprised by the bustling city.
"For God's sake, is this what Chang'an City is like?"
Everyone knows that Chang'an is prosperous and prosperous. After seeing Jiangcheng, they naturally feel that it is the same as Chang'an. From a distance, the wide river is densely packed with ships of all sizes. Thousands of sails compete for the current, and the docks are packed with ships. The most amazing thing is that the city is large and small.
Among the pavilion buildings, one could vaguely see that they were some seven or eight-story pavilions, which even the general manager, who thought he was very knowledgeable, found it unbelievable.
The location of the city is very good. There are several large rivers flowing nearby, one going to the Central Plains, one leading to Rongtian Ridge in the northwest, and two large rivers flowing to the south in the direction of Chimang people.
Xiao Zizi led a group of people down the mountain to the ferry. After showing their IDs, he led them onto the ferry.
The people rowing the ferry include humans, monsters, otter monsters, crocodile monsters, and even a black-furred bear monster, who skillfully holds the sails and uses the wind to control the ferry.
More than 70 people were trembling with fear as they came into close contact with monsters for the first time.
When a few human sailors and monsters became brothers and played wildly with each other and talked dirty, the soldiers were dumbfounded. It turns out that humans and monsters can still be like this...
The boat sailed slowly across the river, getting closer and closer to the city.
Looking at the tall buildings and bustling city in the distance, the general man suddenly feels confused. Many people who live in the countryside and suddenly move into a big city will feel confused and helpless. There is excitement about wanting to make great achievements, but also anxiety about the unknown.
The city is built along the river, with mountains behind it, making it appear slender with no end in sight.
Drifting along the river along the coast of the city, on the boat you can see all kinds of people and monsters coming and going on the shore, and vehicles are densely packed. It is a kind of laughter and laughter that is different from that in the Central Plains, full of vitality and hope...
More than seventy country bumpkins were pointing and talking about the city, their eyes full of curiosity.
"Get ready to dock~sit tight and hold on tight~"
The bear demon roared loudly, and he and other sailors steered the ferry towards the designated dock.
More than 70 people from Yanjun experienced the busiest port in the world for the first time. Large ships and small boats docked and departed in an orderly manner. Before they could see anything, the ship suddenly shook slightly and docked at the dock.
Little Leaf greets.
"Follow me~ line up to go to the customs to apply for a temporary residence permit~"
So, the general manager was confused again. The Central Plains people who saw other boats coming off and queuing up were no longer embarrassed and blushing. There were too many of them. Some people may have been coming and going frequently and queued up to say hello to each other. There were also some who seemed to be here for the first time and were looking around uneasily.
Compared to themselves these people look like beggars.
I followed the team in a daze into the huge customs building, confusedly pressed my fingerprints to state my name, and finally came out from the other end with a certificate.
The city management office staff handed over to Xiao Zizi and took them to arrange accommodation first.
The house is a four-story dormitory building with good ventilation and a place to take a shower. It is much better than a military camp that looks like a pig's nest. It feels like living in an inn. After cleaning up your personal hygiene as required, you go to the cafeteria for a satisfying meal.
"Monsters are all good people..."
