But, in the end, it was still the first trip out, and thus, he had to be more careful and had a lot of work to do.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After a short nap after dinner, Jiang Zhen got up. By that time, their ship had slowly approached Fucheng and stopped at the pier.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When Jiang Zhen\u2019s men stayed on the ship, they all felt it was quite novel, and no one was bored. But when the ship docked and Jiang Zhen told them to move some of the cargo off the ship ahead of time and arranged for a night watch, some of them were unhappy. That person was, of course, Liu Hetou.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt is already nighttime. Why do we still have to work?\u201d Liu Heitou asked discontentedly, trying to incite those around him.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYou don\u2019t have to do it. Moreover, you can also quit following me . . . Do you think it will be hard for me to find a few people to work for me?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jiang Zhen looked at him with a cold smile on his face. He had nothing before, and no one would have come even if he wanted to recruit someone. Coupled with the fact that he was worried that Liu Heitou\u2019s gang would get together and cause trouble for him, he took them in, but in the future . . .<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, it was still better to use hardworking and uncomplaining people like Wang Haisheng and the He brothers, who gave their all, right?<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As soon as Jiang Zhen spoke, Liu Heitou\u2019s heart jumped. He himself was a jealous man, so he felt that Jiang Zhen would probably be the same. He followed Jiang Zhen, and there were so many people watching. Jiang Zhen couldn\u2019t do anything to him to keep his men from quitting, but if they left from this place . . . That guy Jiang Zhen had seen blood!<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Liu Heitou suddenly became silent and started working obediently. When the others heard what Jiang Zhen said, they were startled. But when they thought about it carefully, they found that Jiang Zhen was quite right.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These days, there was no shortage of people, and with the treatment given by Jiang Zhen, it would be easy to recruit people in the future. But they . . . they couldn\u2019t be thugs without this place. What should they do? These guys started working harder.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jiang Zhen was very satisfied with this and thought that the punishment and reward measures should be perfected. In the future, if there were people who did things carelessly, it would be good to directly drive them out. Of course, he didn\u2019t think there would be anyone like that. These people were actually quite obedient now.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After working busily for more than an hour unloading the cargo from the ship and putting it in the open space, Jiang Zhen went back to the ship and arranged for someone to keep watch over it.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zhao Jinge was also helping carry the goods off the ship and counting them. When he returned to their room, Jiang Zhen held his hand and asked, \u201cTired?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cNot tired,\u201d Zhao Jinge answered. This kind of work was really nothing to him.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although Zhao Jinge said that he wasn\u2019t tired, it was still the first time they had gone out. Jiang Zhen did not intend to do anything this evening . . . As a result . . .<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cJiang Zhen, you said earlier that you were going to teach me at night . . . what were you going to teach me?\u201d In the darkness of the cabin, Zhao Jinge asked curiously.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Jiang Zhen wanted to teach Zhao Jinge, of course, was a way to keep the bed board from rocking. For example, with Zhao Jinge positioned on top of him and moving up and down. Zhao Jinge was very patient. He felt that he had taken the initiative, but in Jiang Zhen\u2019s opinion, he was actually very shy. Of course, having a shy partner wasn\u2019t bad, and Jiang Zhen quite enjoyed teaching Zhao Jinge a bit at times, not to mention that Zhao Jinge was always very cooperative with him . . .<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This time, the two of them really did not make any sound, and only when it was all over\u2014 Zhao Jinge had gotten off him when his legs went limp and he knocked on the bed board\u2014that there was a thumping sound, but this sound was so common in the ship that it would never make anyone suspect anything.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jiang Zhen thought it was a pity. Zhao Jinge also thought it was a pity. That position was not very good. After it was done, all those things flowed out, which was really disadvantageous for having a child. Thinking that way, Zhao Jinge touched his stomach.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIs your stomach upset? Do you want me to help you clean up a bit?\u201d Jiang Zhen asked.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He remembered that after it was done, it should be cleaned up; otherwise, it would be easy to get diarrhea.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When they did it for the first time he was so excited that he had forgotten about it. And so, Zhao Jinge didn\u2019t like it. But when he saw that Zhao Jinge didn\u2019t get diarrhea, he didn\u2019t force it either. That was probably because a ger\u2019s body was somewhat different from that of an ordinary man, but unfortunately, he didn\u2019t see any difference at all.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cNo need,\u201d Zhao Jinge said hurriedly.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How could he clean it up at this moment? His mother said it was best to lie still afterward. Zhao Jinge gave himself a rub and lay down. Seeing this Jiang Zhen reached out to touch his stomach, he asked, \u201cDo you think there could already be a child inside?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI don\u2019t know, but the villagers said before that it wouldn\u2019t be easy for me to have children.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zhao Jinge felt a little lost. It was not easy to have children as a woman, let alone a ger like him.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s okay. Take your time.\u201d Jiang Zhen kissed Zhao Jinge, thinking that it would be fine to not have children.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was already very hot today, and it was even hotter in the cabin. Although they were all used to the heat, it was not easy right after their exercise.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zhao Jinge took a fan and slowly fanned himself and Jiang Zhen until he fell asleep without realizing it. Jiang Zhen took the fan from his hand and fanned him for a while before throwing it away and going to sleep.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next day, all the merchants whose destination was Fucheng debarked. Meanwhile, Jiang Zhen had sent his men to patrol around the dock and bring back a few merchants who were going to their next destination.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These merchants were all willing to pay some money to take the big boat. After all, in this part of Yangtze River, large groups of water bandits were rare, which meant that it was very safe to take a big boat.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because the cargo had already been moved off the ship last night, that day was actually not as busy as Jiang Zhen had previously imagined. So after lunch, he took some time off to show Zhao Jinge around.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After telling Wang Haisheng and the He brothers to keep an eye on the boat, Jiang Zhen went out with Zhao Jinge.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBoss is so nice to Zhao Jinge. I can\u2019t believe he loves his wife so much.\u201d Someone came over to talk to the He brothers.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He Chunsheng nodded and sighed. If he had known that Jiang Zhen was so good, he would have betrothed his brother to Jiang Zhen earlier . . . Unfortunately, it was too late for it now.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBy the way, He Chunsheng, I heard that you have a ger brother who is very good looking . . . What do you think of me? I swear I\u2019ll love my wife as much as Boss Jiang!\u201d the man added.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He Chunsheng\u2019s face turned black. This man was so ugly, and he still dared to think about his brother? When he thought of this, He Chunsheng couldn\u2019t help glancing at Liu Heitou again.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He Chunsheng and Liu Heitou had a big feud, but because Liu Heitou had only brought his own cousins when he went to the He family to kidnap people, He Chunsheng had no conflict with the others.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seeing that Liu Heitou was being annoying, He Xiaosheng stared at Liu Hetou all day.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being stared at like this . . . Liu Heitou felt quite safe. At least, it meant that these people were not going to tie him up and throw him in the river, right?<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jiang Zhen went to buy a few pieces of cloth, then found the tailor who had helped him make clothes earlier and commissioned her to make a few flags. If his escort agency was to be opened, there was still a lot of work to do. First of all, the flag had to be done.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhat should be embroidered on this?\u201d asked the tailor.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cJust embroider the word \u2018Zhen,\u2019\u201d Jiang Zhen said and then made a few more suggestions.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><br \/>Edited by : Faro<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Proofreader: Taalia<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Support translation:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/bePatron?u=25191841\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"217\" height=\"51\" class=\"wp-image-338 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ontimestory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/become_a_patron_button.png?resize=217%2C51\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 217px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 217\/51;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ko-fi.com\/lajnaa\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ontimestory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/kofi3-3.png?resize=185%2C47\" alt=\"This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is kofi3-3.png\" width=\"185\" height=\"47\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 185px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 185\/47;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\r\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This time Jiang Zhen took his men and the two boats with him to basically wander around Hecheng County, going to many places that he and Wang Haisheng had already visited, so it was still relatively safe.
