Man in the Heavens: Rewarding the Good and Punishing the Evil

Jianning stood up abruptly, and shouted excitedly: "Brother Chong, we are so rich, let's buy a cruise ship by ourselves, so that everyone can feel more comfortable."

Chen Chong was very moved when he heard it, and then decisively rejected the proposal.

It's not that he's stingy, it's just that with his current strength, he can't put the cruise ship into the portable space at all. Buying a boat is pure waste.

Of course, it is possible to rent a boat, and then let Xiao Shuang send an order.

Xiao Shuang'er closed her eyes again for a moment, and when she opened her eyes, she had passed the latest order to her sister, which made Chen Chong stunned.

Telepathy, so terrifying!

Now that he was awake, Chen Chong didn't intend to continue to rest, so he asked the girls to get off the carriage together, and put the carriage into his personal space.

The place where the carriage stopped was an alley, next to the back door of Linjiang Building.

It was almost noon at this time, and everyone was hungry, so they decided to have a full meal first.

As soon as the food was ordered in the restaurant, Da Shuang'er walked in in a hurry, followed by three men.

The girl whispered something to the man, and Chen Chong nodded to indicate that he understood.

Seeing A Ke standing behind Chen Chong, the three men knew that this was their customer, so they bowed their waists and smiled: "I have seen the uncle, the youngest Xia, these two are my brothers, you use our boat , It’s to praise our brothers, this time you’re all done.”

Chen Chong nodded noncommittally, and carefully looked at the people in front of him.

These three men were quite stocky, their faces were covered with weathered colors, their skin was sun-tanned like red copper, and when they smiled, they showed a mouthful of black teeth, which made them look honest and trustworthy.

He suddenly threw out a piece of silver, and said loudly: "Do a good job for the master, and the silver is indispensable. This ingot is considered a reward. You go and prepare it first, and come over after I finish eating."

Second Xia took the money and quickly put it into his arms, grinning with black teeth showing, "Yes, yes, I will leave, sir, you eat first, and the younger one will clean up first, I promise to make you spend your money comfortably."

After finishing speaking, the three saluted again and left happily.

Seeing the three leave, Jianning frowned and said, "Brother Chong, I don't think they are good people."

"He was not a good person."

Chen Chong put away his smile, and showed a slight sarcasm on his face: "The acting is quite similar, but unfortunately this person forgot, the serious boatman collected ten taels of silver, it is absolutely impossible not to look at it."

Chapter 83 082. Water Bandits

And this thing?

The four girls began to recall the situation just now, and then found that the guy really gave people a strange feeling, but they just didn't know where the blame was.

Seeing that they were still puzzled, Chen Chong reminded: "Girls, I rewarded that man with ten taels of silver, that's ten taels!"

After he emphasized the "Ten Twos", A Ke, Xiao Shuang'er and the three of them immediately understood the problem.

Jianning is a princess who has never been in the palace, so naturally she doesn't understand what ten taels of silver means, but they know it very well.

In this day and age, the purchasing power of ten taels of silver is very strong, and it costs only twenty or thirty renminbi to cut a catty of pork. At least ten taels of silver can buy more than 300 catties of meat, which is enough to feed a family for a whole year!

And how much can you earn by pulling people and transporting goods in the canal?

The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is more than [-] miles long, and it takes at least ten days to travel from Tianjinwei to Hangzhou by boat, but the boat fare is only one or two yuan.

This Xia Laoer is only a small broken boat, and its carrying capacity is barely better than that of the Wupeng boat. He can take a dozen people and at most some cargo when he travels to Hangzhou.

These people plus the goods, regardless of the river customs and boat taxes everywhere, he may not be able to make a net profit of ten taels, so why should he look down on the ten taels of silver reward?

After the three of them finished talking about their opinions, Chen Chong and Jian Ning suddenly felt that they had gained a lot.

Chen Chong is a time traveler, his understanding of history is limited to the nine-year compulsory education, after time travel, no one told him the prices of various things except Wei Xiaobao.

And his memory of the "money" in the original plot only stays in Wei Xiaobao's various coquettish manipulations.

Wei Xiaobao asked Kangxi for mental damages, and he asked for 5 taels.

To blackmail Pingxi King Wu Sangui, he opened his mouth for 50 taels.

When ransacking the house in Obai's mansion, he directly embezzled more than 1000 million taels.

Chen Chong, who only remembered these large sums, obviously did not find the problem in terms of purchasing power like the three of A Ke did.

He could find something was wrong, it was completely aware of Xia's second child's unreasonable reaction.

When Xia's second son received the silver reward, although he looked happy, it didn't give him a happy feeling.

If it is really the low-level people who are begging for life on the river and relying on hard work to earn decent money, they shouldn't behave like this. At least they should weigh the weight of the money to distinguish the authenticity.

However, Xia Lao Er didn't have any.

All kinds of unreasonable behaviors immediately made Chen Chong vigilant.

After hearing the two analysis, Jian Ning immediately became furious: "These bastards, how dare they set their minds on this princess, and if I don't bully others, it's a blessing they have cultivated in eight lifetimes, and now they dare to come to me It's such a bad luck, it's such a boring life!"

After finishing speaking, she stretched out her hand to Chen Chong: "Brother Chong, give me the musket, I want to teach these short-sighted things a lesson."

Chen Chong slapped the girl's paw away, and said speechlessly: "We are just skeptical now, why are you in a hurry? Wait until we confirm, we can't wrong her."

A Ke agreed: "Brother Chen is right, let's keep quiet for now, so as not to kill the wrong good person."

The big and small Shuang'er didn't think so: "Young Master's martial arts is very strong, and he is facing you head-on. We may not be afraid of those people, but we are afraid that they will be poisoned with sweat."

After Chen Chong thought about it, he felt that it made some sense.

At this time, the shop waiter had already served all the dishes, he picked up his chopsticks and said to the four people: "It's okay, let's be careful, just don't eat their food, let's eat first!"

When the four girls thought that Chen Chong would have "the universe in his sleeves", they could eat and drink as much as they wanted. Since they didn't need to eat the boatman's food, they didn't need to worry about being poisoned, so they immediately relaxed.

After they finished their meal, they packed some dry food, snacks, and drinks, and then leisurely arrived at the pier.

Tianjin Wei is an important hub in the north, and the wharf is full of ships, and cargo ships and passenger ships traveling from south to north turn around and berth here.

And Xia Laoer's boat was not on the pier, so Da Shuang'er brought a few people to a remote place, where a two-story passenger boat was parked in Xiaohe Port.

Second Xia was busy on the deck, when he saw Chen Chong and his party approaching from a distance, he immediately stopped what he was doing and greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Young master, when are we going to leave, the little one is ready."

Chen Chong took a glance and saw that besides Xia Laoer's two brothers, there were two accompanying sailors on board, and then said indifferently: "We don't need to salute, let's board the ship now, the earlier we leave, the sooner we arrive."

"okay!"

Er Er Xia rubbed his hands, looked at Da Shuang'er with a smirk, and said tentatively: "My lord, this young master gave five taels of money to book the boat before, and the boat cost is 80 taels in total, do you think so? …”

"Do things well, the money is indispensable to you."
