Fight the Giants

  Heizi’s experience is indeed bumpy.

   will speak, mother will be gone. The hometown is full of saline-alkali land, and there are no crops growing in the fields, so his father follows others to do odd jobs everywhere, and he doesn't care about him, so he throws him at home to be taken care of by his grandma.

  Unexpectedly, he lost his milk last year, and his second aunt coaxed him, saying that she would send him to learn crafts, but who would have thought that he would be sold to the palace as a eunuch.

   "Mr. Li is very famous in our side. Who doesn't know what he does. When people buy girls, he buys Qingjun's kid, and lied to people that the palace is a good place. I won't go!"

  Looked down and said, "After the power is gone, my family will become extinct. I took advantage of their unpreparedness and ran away from the boat. When I heard that you were going to Peiping, I wanted to follow you to Peiping to find my father."

  Huo Xi suddenly thought of that boy Shen Luo. If it wasn't for her and his uncle, that boy would probably be staying in the palace now.

   What's the matter, is there such a shortage of people in the palace? Were all the palace people from the previous dynasty buried with him?

  Can't help but look at the kid in front of him. After looking at it, my teeth are a little sour.

   Unexpectedly, the "husband" here means eunuch. Grinding the molars.

   Vanilla felt that this kid was dishonest: "You are going to find your father, and you just said you would sell yourself to my master!"

  Hei boy pursed his lips, and looked at Huo Xi timidly: "How about, when I find my father, I will sell myself to you together with my father?"

  Sell yourself to a rich family, have clothes to wear, a bed to sleep in, and food to eat, which is better than in your hometown.

   "I'm afraid your father wants to beat you up!" Vanilla glared at him.

"My father won't beat me. If I can survive by selling myself, my father is also willing. We can't grow crops in the fields over there, and many people come out to find work. If you have a meal outside, it's better to sell yourself. As for others, they can still fill their stomachs."

  Except for Huo Xi, the few people present actually understood his thoughts quite well.

  In a world where the weak prey on the strong, the morals of the world prevent people from living. If you sell yourself to others for shelter, although you will not be free, you can at least survive.

  If they can meet a good master like them, it must be a high incense in the previous life.

   "Are you telling the truth?"

  Huo Xi stared at his eyes, they looked so dark, what did Mr. Li like in him? Are you afraid of dirtying the nobleman's eyes when you send it to the palace?

   "I swear in the name of my parents on the first day of the first quarter, everything is true! My lord, I really didn't lie, please keep me, my lord, I'm very useful! I, I can find things for you!"

   "You find something for me?" What kind of craft is this, she often loses things?

  Ji Chuyi nodded fiercely, yes, he is useful.

   talked about his skills. He said that as long as his nose smelled something, as long as the smell persisted, he could find it.

  Everyone didn't believe it. Vanilla was eager to try, so Huo Xi asked her to try him.

   After a while, Vanilla ran back excitedly: "Miss, he has a dog nose!"

   Wow, la la, said that she went to hide things, and the boy found them out several times. She hid in the cracks of the ship planks and covered them with things, and she could be found.

   After finishing speaking, she looked at Huo Xi eagerly, this man is as useful as herself, so please keep him, girl.

  Huo Xi didn't know what Ji Chuyi's skill was useful for. Thinking that he was only eight years old, he couldn't bear to have him arrested and made a eunuch, so he kept him.

   Didn't sign a life deed with him, nor did he sign a work deed, only said to take him for a ride, wait until he finds his father.

  Ji Chuyi was a little disappointed, but seeing that he was left behind, he became happy again. I got an old clothes worn on the moon, so I excitedly ran to freshen up.

   After he finished washing, Huo Xi looked at him, hey, he has such a handsome face, no wonder people are willing to buy him for ten taels of silver. How could this dirty the nobleman's eyes, I'm afraid that if he enters the palace, he will often be rewarded and become prosperous.

   Finally left him.

  Without delay, the boat left Jining Wharf and continued northward.

  After sailing for one day, we arrived in Linqing.

  Linqing is one of the five grain storage warehouses along the canal. Looking around in the canal, it was crowded with grain ships.

  I heard that Linqing warehouse can store several million stones of grain, and it is a transfer station for south-to-north grain transportation. The grain grains of all prefectures and counties in Shandong and Henan were delivered to Linqing. Many grain merchants will also come to Qing Wharf to trade grain.

  Huo Xi and two stewards went ashore to check the shop, and bought a lot of grain at the pier. Did not stay overnight in Linqing, continue northward.

  The next stop is Cangzhou, Hebei.

  Checked the shop accounts, and bought a lot of pear dates, donkey-hide gelatin and other local products at the Cangzhou wharf.

   On the first day of the season, I ate hearty meat and roasted meat until I was full, and even bought a lot of land to eat on the boat. Until the boat sailed to Tianjin Wharf, the meat was not finished.

   "You can finish eating quickly, and you can't let it go in this weather. When you arrive in Tianjin, there are more good things. Are you afraid that you will be full again?" Vanilla was a little disgusted.

  Ji Chuyi escaped from Yaren's boat and hid on the pier, not daring to show his face at all, starving for several days.

   Now seeing the kindness of the Lord, buying him something to eat, and filling him up every meal, he cherishes it very much. I'm hungry and afraid, worrying that the last meal will not be the next one, so I always eat some and keep some.

  The boat was full of food, and Xiang Cao was afraid that he would hide the food and attract pests and rats, so she glared at him every day.

   Now that I can meet a good master and live a life full of food, my poor mother must be blessed in heaven, and I want to rely on it on the first day of the first quarter. When I saw delicious food at the docks, I didn’t dare to ask for it. The owner’s family bought it and cherished it. He always ate half and kept the other half.

  Seeing Vanilla admonishing him, she explained weakly: "Sister Vanilla, it won't attract rats and insects. I pay attention to it every day."

  Seeing Xiang Cao glaring at him, he hurriedly said, "It will be over soon." He took out the stored food, stuffed it in his mouth and ate it.

   "Hurry up and finish eating. If you are like this, it seems that we will starve you." People saw it and thought that the girl treats the servants poorly and does not give the servants enough. snort.

   I have said it several times, but I still hide it! Vanilla stared at him intently, and would not let him off the boat until he had finished eating.

  Huo Xi glanced at them both, just smiled and didn't pay much attention, and got off the boat first.

  When I arrived in Tianjin, it was very close to Peiping.

  Tianjin is one of the five major granaries of the imperial court and the last stop of the south-to-north grain transfer.

Tianjin Linhai, after the opening of the port, various merchants gathered here, or transported goods to Liaodong for trading, or took a boat to the sea, and sold goods to North Korea and Japan. Location is very important.

  In the river, those who transported grain and various supplies gathered at Tianjin Wharf, lively and lively.

  Guangfengshui's shop in Tianjin was given 20% of the stock to a local family, asking for protection. It has been in business for more than a year, and it is considered quite satisfactory, and the profit is not too much.

  However, Huo Xi felt that this place not only has the convenience of inland water transportation, but also has access to sea transportation. There are also many merchants from North Korea and Japan, and the business will definitely improve in the future.

  If the capital is moved in the future, Beiping will be the capital of the country, and the political culture in the south will move to the north. Ships of overseas tribute and private merchants will all come to Tianjin Port, and this place will become another big port for foreign businessmen.

  Huo Xi is going to sell the remaining one hundred shi of pepper here.
