On the ship altogether only has several hundred people, most of them poor person, is willing flowered tael(s) of silver to look for also so many that Yun Jing draws truly, after all that thing is unedible, after the initial curiosity, looks the person who Yun Jing draws is also getting fewer and fewer. 船上拢共只有几百人,其中绝大多数还是穷人,真正舍得花一两银子找云景画画的也就那么多,毕竟那玩意又不能吃,是以最初的新鲜感后,找云景画画的人也就越来越少了。 Thereupon, Yun Jing helped the business that the person drew to make money only do for three days unable to do on the ship. 于是乎,云景在船上帮人画画挣钱的生意只做了三天就做不下去了。 First day he harvested more than 50 tael(s) of silver, next day more than 20 two, third day from the morning to afternoon, he altogether also drew five pictures. 第一天他收获了五十多两银子,第二天二十多两,第三天从早上一直到下午,他一共也才画了五幅画。 All in addition, Yun Jing harvests eight ten tael(s) of silver on the ship about, the shipping charge made, but also were many more than 30 two. 所有的加起来,云景在船上收获八十两银子左右,船资挣起来了,还多出三十多两。 Although the business of drawing could not do, always returned makes money, the Yun Jing heart was very happy. 画画的生意虽然做不下去了,总归还挣了钱,云景心头还是很开心的。 „The Brother Yun younger brother, you are not bored, some this not obvious people will not ask you to draw, but also is setting up a stall, why?” “云兄弟,你不无聊啊,这不明摆着不会有人来找你画画了嘛,还摆着摊子,何必呢？” Fourth day noon, although does not have the customer, but Yun Jing the outdoor shop knife edge, trifling thing of Luo Zheng on the ship does not have as before, the person of understanding are not many, idle egg sore he runs to accompany Yun Jing, chat kills the time. 第四天中午,虽然没顾客,但云景依旧把摊子支棱着的,罗争在船上屁事没有,认识的人又不多,闲的蛋疼的他跑来陪云景,聊聊天算是打发时间了。 Yun Jing takes a book to read slowly, hears word said with a smile: „It doesn't matter, idles in any case is also idling, if some people come me to gain” 云景拿着一本书慢慢品读着,闻言笑道:“无所谓啊,反正闲着也是闲着,万一有人来我就是赚的” „Your this patience, I am the sincerity admire, if I do to sit quite a while like you no one to come, has thrown up one's job is not dry”, Luo Zheng gives the thumbs-up to say. “你这耐心,我是真心佩服,要是我像你这样干坐半天没人来,早就撂挑子不干了”,罗争竖起大拇指道。 Yun Jing shaking the head speechless say/way: „On the other hand, I admire Brother Luo your patience” 云景摇摇头无语道:“相对来说,我更佩服罗大哥你的耐心” „Why?” Luo Zheng asked startled. “为啥？”罗争愕然问。 Yun Jing said: „This not obvious, I do to sit for day not to find it silly, you were accompany my bored person bored is so long on the contrary, wasn't your patience is better than me?” 云景说:“这不明摆着的嘛,我干坐一天都不觉得无聊,你反倒是陪我这个无聊的人无聊了这么久,难道不是你的耐心比我还好？” Blinks, Luo Zheng pondered over, hey said with a smile: „Haha, but also is really”, he also said: „That anything, in fact I thought that these people did not ask you to draw are they owe” 眨了眨眼,罗争琢磨了下,嘿笑道:“哈哈,还真是”,顿了一下他又道:“那什么,实际上我觉得那些人不来找你画画是他们亏了” „Brother Luo what this word?” “罗大哥何出此言？” Luo Zheng grinned saying: „The Brother Yun younger brother, I thought in any case you will certainly have prospects in the future greatly, in the future now when a tael(s) of silver picture no one patronizes, waits you will be world-famous, at that time estimated that a picture large sum of money is difficult to ask, you said that it is fortunate that will these people in the future be miserable? It is estimated that the intestines want regret azure” 罗争咧嘴说:“云兄弟,反正我觉得你将来一定大有出息,现在一两银子一幅画没人光顾,等将来你名满天下之时,那时候估计一幅画万金难求,你说说,那些人将来得亏多惨？估计肠子都要悔青” „Brother Luo you also took this to tease I”, Yun Jing curled the lip to say. “罗大哥你又拿这个打趣我了”,云景撇嘴道。 Luo Zheng stands, starts to take off the clothes, said carelessly: „I think so in any case” 罗争站起来,开始脱衣服,大大咧咧道:“反正我就是这么觉得的” „Brother Luo do you come?” Sees him to start to take off the clothes, Yun Jing immediately the speechless say/way. “罗大哥你又来？”见他开始脱衣服,云景顿时无语道。 Takes off the straight remaining day of underpants, exposes a capable physique Luo Zheng to move the physique saying: „Bored, the Brother Yun younger brother you helps me look at the point to salute, I go to the river to swim” 脱得直剩下一天裤头,展露出一副精壮身板的罗争活动活动筋骨道:“无聊啊,云兄弟你帮我看着点行礼,我去江里游一圈” Saying, him is leaping gently, jumps several meters high, the whole person delimited one arc one to plant in the river to go, that water splash pressed, Yun Jing estimated that the previous generation Olympic champions must blush with shame, does not know that he submerged many deeply must swim far, did not crop up in any case some little time. 说着,他轻轻一跃,跳起几米高,整个人划出一道弧线一头栽江里去了,那水花压得,云景估计前世奥运冠军都得汗颜,也不知道他潜入了多深要游多远,反正好一会儿都不冒头。 „This fellow, did not fear in the big fish by river swallowing” “这家伙,也不怕被江里的大鱼给吞了” Shakes the head, Yun Jing also pays no attention to him, similar matter he did in any case for these days frequently. 摇摇头,云景也不理他,反正这几天类似的事情他经常干。 This little while distant place some big miss young wives are directing to spit to Yun Jing scold, only said is the Luo Zheng catching cold bad conduct and so on. 这会儿远处有些大姑娘小媳妇正冲着云景这边指指点点啐骂不已呢,说得无外乎是罗争伤风败德之类的。 Under the broad daylight, Luo Zheng takes off/escapes such, is concerned about face. 光天化日之下,罗争脱成那样,要不要脸啊。 However since you thought that the Luo Zheng catching cold bad conduct, does cover the eye to cover the eye quilt, why the finger forks opens? 然而你们既然觉得罗争伤风败德,捂眼就捂眼被,手指头为啥叉那么开？ Woman...... 呵,女人…… „Un?” “嗯？” After a while, Luo Zheng has not come up, Yun Jing is discovered on the contrary the speed of freighter slowed down, moreover is depending toward the waterfront, the issue is the waterfront also does not have the wharf cities, slowed the tempo does by the past? Even supplies must look for the town wharf and so on depending. 过了一会儿,罗争没上来,云景反倒是发现货船的速度放慢了,而且还在朝着江边靠,问题是江边又没码头城镇,放慢速度靠过去干啥？即使补给也得找个城镇码头之类的靠吧。 „Young Master Yun, this remote, the ship as if must stop the shore, you know that what happened?” “云公子,这前不着村后不着店,船似乎要停岸边,你知道发生什么事情了吗？” Bai Zhi with cabin takes the short-sword to arrive at Yun Jing here to ask. 同舱的白芷拿着短剑来到云景这里问。 Several days is together, several people are very familiar, saw that Yun Jing side Luo Zheng clothes Bai Zhi shows the whites of the eyes, knows that the opposite party did do, was unalarmed by strange sights. 几天的相处下来,几人已经很熟悉了,看到云景身边罗争的衣服白芷翻了个白眼,知道对方干啥去了,见怪不怪。 Yun Jing shook the head saying: „I do not know” 云景摇头说:“我也不知道” Thinks, he received the stall simply, does not have the customer to visit to any case. 想了想,他干脆把摊位收了,反正也没顾客上门。 At this time has the sailor of freighter to come, Yun Jing asked while convenient: „Big brother, why the ship felt that can stop?” 此时有货船的水手过来,云景顺便问:“大哥,船为什么感觉要停了？” Sailor unties the string of ship's sail to coordinate others to put down the ship's sail, while replied: „Returns to the Young Master Yun words, is this, front will not have nearly 20 li (0.5 km) rushing sections, in that waters, the sail and sailor of only freighter rows a boat is not enough to pass, therefore needs to anchor in the waterfront, please enough tracker draw the ship to pass that surface of the river” 那水手一边解开船帆的绳子配合其他人放下船帆,一边回答道:“回云公子的话,是这样的,前面不远将有将有近二十里水流湍急的江段,在那段水域,单凭货船的风帆以及水手划船根本不足以通过,所以需要停靠在江边,请足够的纤夫拉船才能通过那段江面” „This, this freighter volume is large, but also is carrying so many cargos, wants to come to need please many trackers?” Yun Jing hears word said suddenly. “这样啊,这艘货船体积颇大,还载着那么多货物,想来需要请不少纤夫吧？”云景闻言恍然道。 Tracker occupation Yun Jing has only heard, has not actually seen, this professional person is very laborious, usually seeks a livelihood in the rushing river course waterfront, helping the person draw the ship to make some laborious money. 纤夫这种职业云景只听说过,却没见过,这种职业的人很辛苦,通常在水流湍急的河道江边讨生活,帮人拉船挣些辛苦钱。 The Yun Jing previous generation has an old song to call the love of tracker, sang was this occupation. 云景前世有一首老歌叫纤夫的爱,唱的就是这种职业。 The younger sister your travelling by boat head, the Elder Brother on onshore walks...... 妹妹你坐船头,哥哥在岸上走…… However that sang somewhat romantically, what sang was the sentiment love love of tracker, from the start has not raised least bit tracker professional labor. 然而那首歌唱得有些浪漫,唱的是纤夫的情情爱爱,压根没提半点纤夫这种职业的辛苦。 The sailor who that and Yun Jing talked said: „Indeed must please many people, I run for many years in the river, is actually clear, at our time freight capacities, this time please estimates 2,000-3,000 tracker coordination, today estimated that did not have the time through that surface of the river, if were smooth, early tomorrow morning please enough set sail every, can pass that 20 li (0.5 km) section probably in the afternoon” 那和云景搭话的水手道:“的确要请不少人呢,我在江上跑多年了,倒是清楚,以我们这次的载货量,这次估计得请2,000-3,000纤夫配合吧,今天估计是没时间通过那段江面了,若是顺利的话,明天一早请够人手起航,大概下午才能通过那二十里江段” Bai Zhi hears word stares to say slightly: „Please 2,000-3,000 people? How much money can that spend?” 白芷闻言微微瞪眼道:“请2,000-3,000人？那得花多少钱？” „Haha, the miss considered thoroughly, in fact could not spend how much money, each tracker also most 10-20 copper coins, the things of a total of several hundred taels money”, the sailor said with a smile. “哈哈,姑娘多虑了,实际上花不了多少钱的,每个纤夫也就最多10-20个铜板吧,总共几百两银子的事情”,水手笑道。 Bai Zhi hears word is slightly silent, mutters: „Their adverse current draws the ship, a day gets down also makes 10-20 copper coins” 白芷闻言略微沉默,喃喃道:“他们逆流拉船,一天下来也就挣10-20个铜板吗” „That, some are not the person rushes to do, the miss has not to know that rushing section, at least several tens of thousands of trackers seek a livelihood there, when the ship approached shore you to know, there waterfront densely and numerously all was the tracker builds the shack, yeah, was some poor men, hi, I had what qualifications pitiful families, sought a livelihood on the ship, goes through rain and wind, all year round could not make several tael(s) of silver, referred to the uncertain families having the work to do daily also makes many compared with me”, the sailor shook the head, was very talkative. “那可不,就这有的是人抢着干呢,姑娘有所不知,那段水流湍急的江段,至少有数万纤夫在那儿讨生活,等船靠岸你就知道了,那里江边密密麻麻全都是纤夫搭得窝棚,哎,都是些可怜人,嗨,我有什么资格可怜人家啊,在船上讨生活,风里来雨里去,一年到头也挣不了几两银子,指不定人家天天有活儿干比我挣得还多”,水手摇头道,很是健谈。 Yun Jing also explodes not without reason, said to Bai Zhi: „White miss, the coolie works, in fact is very inexpensive, what made is laborious money” 云景也是有感而发,对白芷道:“白姑娘,苦力劳动,实际上很廉价的,挣的是辛苦钱” Half a word words Yun Jing had not said that is the tracker such coolie work, in fact is making money with the life. 还有半句话云景没说,那就是纤夫这样的苦力劳动,实际上是用命在挣钱。 They eat badly, is engaged in the heavy physical strength, generally the life span is not long, after 40-50 years old life peak, the physical state will develop rapidly after a sudden turn, most several years passed away, even if boil much for several years, mostly are still injury-ridden the pain. 他们吃得差,从事重体力,一般寿命都不长,四五十岁的人生巅峰期过后,身体情况会急转直下,大多数几年时间就撒手人寰了,即使多熬几年,也大多病痛缠身痛苦不已。 If really does not have the means that who will be engaged in such coolie work. 如果不是实在没有办法,谁又会从事这样的苦力活儿呢。 „What Young Master Yun said that but on the other hand, the work of tracker was painstakingly bitter, but can also the making money wealth support the family member, under that even/including the coolies could not find place called pitifully”, the sailor said...... “云公子说的是,但话又说回来,纤夫的活儿苦是苦了点,但也能挣些钱财养活家人,那种连下苦力都找不到地儿的才叫可怜呢”,水手接话道…… Then the freighter approaches shore slowly, is approaching waterfront yiershi meters away to come to anchor to stop, then freighter put down a boat to discuss that by the past invited the tracker matters concerned. 接下来货船缓缓靠岸,在靠近江边一二十米外抛锚停下,然后货船方面放下一艘小船靠过去商量邀请纤夫事宜。 At this time Yun Jing they saw, the waterfront densely and numerously is the shack that the tracker builds, quantity tens of thousands of numbers cannot count, the shack kept out wind and rain difficultly, not to mention the environment. 此时云景他们看到,江边密密麻麻全是纤夫搭建的窝棚,数量成千上万数都数不过来,窝棚遮风挡雨都难,更别提居住环境了。 Mosquito run all over the place, various excreta everywhere are, has no way to put one's foot down simply, but in such environment, what are many are some dark and thin malnutritions children ‚worry-free’ playing. 蚊虫满天飞,各种排泄物到处都是,简直没法下脚,而在那样的环境中,多的是一些黑瘦营养不良的小孩‘无忧无虑’的玩耍。 Under such environment, in the event of the infectious disease, the consequence is inconceivable! 这样的环境下,一旦发生传染病,后果不堪设想！ When their freighters stop in the surface of the river, in that countless shack drilled trackers to look here eagerly, hopes that can obtain a work to do. 当他们这艘货船停在江面之时,那数不尽的窝棚里钻出了一个又一个纤夫眼巴巴的看着这边,希望能得到一份活儿干。 But this coolie work, competent is not they decides , is not decided by their physical qualities, but is decided by here faction! 可这份苦力活儿,能不能干不是他们说了算,也不是由他们的身体素质说了算,而是由这里的帮派说了算！ The places of some people have the rivers and lakes, these trackers gather, who wants to look for a work to make money dry/does, but so many people, the communication ships could not want so many people, to snatch the work had the battle unavoidably, stuck together the situation that warmed up to form cliques also to arise at the historic moment thereupon. 有人的地方就有江湖,这些纤夫聚集,谁都想找份活儿干挣钱,可那么多人,来往船只也要不了那么多人,为了抢活儿难免发生争斗,于是乎抱团取暖拉帮结派的情况也就应运而生了。 Had the organization, naturally has the person of attaining without effort, the faction tension management tracker, with needing ships of tracker attaches, thus two make money. 有了组织,自然就有不劳而获之人,帮派上层管理纤夫,与需要纤夫的船只方面接头,从而两头赚钱。 This matter has no way to avoid, the government authorities act to ban the faction is not realistic, once because did not have the restraint balance of faction, will only make the unsystematic several tens of thousands of trackers very easy to have the fighting, in the event, that was not the casualty one tael/1-2 individual matter! 这种事情是没法避免的,官府出面取缔帮派不现实,因为一旦没有了帮派的约束制衡,只会让无组织的数万纤夫很容易发生械斗,一旦发生,那就不是死伤一两个人的事情了！ Therefore, bitter forever is the floors. 所以啊,苦的永远都是底层。 So long as can also be able to go on living, selects the tired point to receive to select the grievance painstakingly again, there is what relations...... 可只要还能活得下去,苦点累点再受点委屈,又有什么关系呢…… Pū passes. 噗通。 The water surface breaks open, in the running river had a good swim Luo Zheng to leap the water surface to fall in the deck, whole body wet he complained: „How this broken ship also kept to the side, harmed me to swim more than ten li (0.5 km), let alone, this actually whole body loosen quick......” 水面破开,跑江里畅游一圈的罗争跃出水面落在了甲板上,浑身湿漉漉的他不禁抱怨道:“这破船咋还靠边了呢,害我多游了十多里,别说,这一通下来倒是浑身松快了……” Was saying to be saying, he discovered that Yun Jing and the others the interest is not high, therefore said startled: „How was your?” 说着说着,他发现云景等人兴致不高,于是愕然道:“你们这是怎么了？” „Brother Luo of being all right, is saw that the poverty-stricken life hearts of these trackers are somewhat uncomfortable......”, Bai Zhi referred to the shack in distant place saying with a sigh. “没事的罗大哥,就是看到那些纤夫的穷苦生活心头有些不是滋味……”,白芷指了指远处的窝棚叹息道。 After understanding was concrete, Luo Zheng thinks saying: „If I will have opportunity martial arts cultivation base to be exceedingly high in the future, can try to pull out the draw this segment Jiangdi actually, then should be able to end the misery of these people” 了解了具体后,罗争想了想说:“若是将来我有机会武道修为通天,倒是可以试试将这段江底掏平,如此一来应该能结束这些人的苦难” Yun Jing shakes the head to say immediately: „Brother Luo you may don't, even if you will have such ability such not to do in the future” 云景当即摇头道:“罗大哥你可千万别,即使将来你有那样的能耐也别那样做” „Why?” Luo Zheng asked puzzled. “为何？”罗争不解问。 Looks to these shacks, Yun Jing sighs slightly: „Brother Luo, your idea is good, but have you thought that now this surface of the river, although the tracker drew the ship to be painstakingly bitter, the good and evil also supported so many people, if you will have the ability to pull out the draw him in the future, where these people did seek a livelihood?” 看向那些窝棚,云景微微叹息道:“罗大哥,你的想法是好的,可你想没想过,如今这段江面,虽然纤夫拉船苦是苦了点,好歹也养活了这么多人,若你将来有能力将其掏平,这些人去哪儿讨生活？” „Eh......”, Luo Zheng does not know at once unexpectedly how to reply. “额……”,罗争一时之间居然不知道如何回答。 Actually thinks, has the ability to meet to expand this pulls out the even society to be few? Why does no one do? Also is not because here can support tens of thousands people, once here pulled out the draw to expand, the water current was gentle, the passing ships do not need the tracker, that several tens of thousands of people where seeks a livelihood? 其实想想,有能耐将这段见面拓宽掏平的人世间还少吗？为什么没人那么做？还不是因为这里能养活几万人,一旦这里被掏平拓宽,水流平缓了,过往船只不需要纤夫,那数万人又哪里去讨生活呢？ Freighter has the special person to go to and faction of convention tracker consults to discuss the population matters concerned. 货船方面有专门的人去和惯例纤夫的帮派接洽商量人数事宜。 Previous day very early in the morning, freighter Yang Fan set sail again. 隔天一早,货船再度杨帆起航。 What may be different from before, freighter that sets sail, the front big iron chain extends, then rope links on the iron chain, in another end of rope, the shore are thousands of trackers. 可与之前不同的是,重新起航的货船,前方一根大铁链延伸出去,然后一根根绳索链接在铁链上,在绳索的另一端,岸边是数以千计的纤夫。 About 3000 trackers stripped barefoot rope hitch on, goes out continuously several hundred meters, clenches teeth to tow the rope, that rope enters in the meat quickly, their body leans forward, almost maintains 45 degrees corner/horn with the ground, exhausts the whole body strength, the little dragging freighter swims to go upward. 近三千纤夫光着膀子赤着脚将绳索栓自己身上,连绵出去数百米,咬牙拖着绳索,那绳索都快勒进肉里,他们身躯前倾,几乎与地面保持四十五度角,用尽全身力气,一点点的拖动货船往上游而去。 This goes to nearly 20 li (0.5 km) difficult to walk road, these trackers cannot stop, cannot have slightly laxly, must walk fully for day, in once otherwise cannot drag this surface of the river the freighter, they could not receive money not saying that if the serious freighter retreat, under the strong pulling strength, these trackers were also in danger! 这一去近二十里难走的路,那些纤夫不能停下,不能有丝毫松懈,要整整走一天,否则一旦不能将货船拖里这段江面,他们拿不到钱不说,万一沉重的货船后退,强大的拉扯力下,那些纤夫还有生命危险！ They are towing the freighter, was shouting repeatedly the neat worker's chant, one step step by step, goes toward the upstream slowly. 他们拖着货船,重复喊着整齐的号子,一步一步又一步,慢慢向着上游而去。 „Hey yo...... walks, hey yo...... walks, one step walks, makes money, two steps walk, makes the meter/rice, three-steps, the perspiration, four steps walk much, do not burst into tears, five steps walk, the female beckons, six steps walk, money Jindou, seven steps walks, the meter/rice puts into the pot, eight steps walk, the body coat, nine steps walk, the son is urging, ten steps walk, the family/home, walks walks, the tracker does not fear the river water class/flow, feared. The river bank does without the work, hey yo...... walks, hey yo...... walks...... one step walks......” “嘿哟……走啊,嘿哟……走啊,一步走啊,挣得钱啊,二步走啊,挣得米啊,三步走啊,多流汗啊,四步走啊,别流泪啊,五步走啊,女招手啊,六步走啊,钱进兜啊,七步走啊,米下锅啊,八步走啊,身上衣啊,九步走啊,儿在催啊,十步走啊,家在后啊,走啊走啊,纤夫不惧江水流啊,就怕河干无活儿干啊,嘿哟……走啊,嘿哟……走啊……一步走啊……” ...... ……
