"You have a rich experience, but you are not very old." Li Yi looked at Huang Laifu's resume again and saw that he worked on small fishing boats, smuggling boats, and sea boats one after another. He traveled to many countries and was considered an elite among the sailors who came to register.

Chen Zhengbin also recommended some old sailors in Penghu, but they were generally older. Lan Fang's Luo family would also send some sailors, but it was not easy to get anxious. It would be at least three months or even half a year after they came here.

Although there are many local sailors, there are still fewer people who have traveled outside the sea and experienced strong winds and waves. The recruitment these days has not been very effective.

"The young one has no choice." Huang Laifu replied with a very respectful expression. He didn't understand very well. The official asked him to come here to say this?

Li Yi is already a sixth-rank civil servant. In terms of the rank of the Great Wei Dynasty, he is a middle-level official. He surpasses ordinary magistrates. The next step is to magistrate Junzhou.

Of course, with Li Yi's fame and resume, it is unlikely that he would be a civilian official in the military prefecture, but how can ordinary people know about this?

Such a big man called himself over to tell these little things?

Li Yi could see the ignorance and curiosity of the sailor in front of him, and said warmly: "These things all prove your resume. Now we want to arrange a suitable seat for you."

"The right seat?" Huang Laifu became even more confused. Could it be that he was not a sailor?

He blurted out: "My lord is sorry that if you eat military food, the younger ones will not want to."

"Don't worry, don't worry." Li Yi smiled and said, "The sailors on each ship are divided into two groups. One is the deck group, which is responsible for sailing ropes, boat handling, maintenance, etc. The other is the crossbow group, which is served by the water camp soldiers. Usually, when the deck group is started, the crossbows cooperate with the war soldiers to fight the enemy in wartime. You sailors are the deck groups. Except for the matters at hand, you don't have to worry about the fight. Even if we lose, you just surrender. As far as I know, the thieves on the sea generally will not kill old sailors, and they also lack people."

This is a fact.

Even the vicious Pu Xingfeng would not kill the old sailors who surrendered, because each family lacks old sailors, which is also a kind of scarce talent. As long as you are willing to surrender, the lives of the old sailors will be unhindered.

As for the thieves responsible for the war, even if they surrender, they would tie their hands and feet up and throw their heads down into the sea, which was simple and easy to deal with.

Huang Laifu nodded and let go of his heart, but his curiosity became even stronger.

Li Yi pointed to the blackboard behind him and smiled and said, "This is the command system of each warship determined after Nan'an Hou discussed with everyone. Huang Laifu, look."

Huang Laifu is literate, just like saying that he looks over his own home.

The blackboard on the wall is also a novel thing, and chalk is even more so.

In fact, these are all things with very low technical content. Xu Zixian told Fu Qian that in less than ten days, this thing filled the villa and the barracks, and the Navy Camp was also used here.

It is convenient and fast, and various arrangements and deductions, and trials of official documents and regulations can be written and painted on this blackboard. Paper is a very expensive thing these days, and the blackboard is also used in Mingtang and literacy classes, for scholars and literacy classes to practice calligraphy.

The first sequence is of course the captain, and this Huang Laifu is no exception.

Any ship, even a pirate ship, is the core of the core.

The difference between pirate ships and merchant ships or officers and soldiers is that pirate captains are rarely assigned by pirate leaders, and it is useless to send people to the public. Generally, the captains of each ship are elected by thieves themselves. The strongest, most cruel, and most scheming are qualified to be captains.

The merchant ship is assigned by the owner, and the owner can only believe it, and ordinary sailors will not fight randomly.

Warships are qualified officers, and ordinary sailors do not fight or dare not fight.

However, in Nan'an, there is a prominent small word next to the captain: Everyone competes for it, and those with both virtue and talent can take responsibility, regardless of qualifications.

Huang Laifu's heart was thumping. There were indeed many opportunities here in Nan'an. It seems that he could become a captain?

Below the captain is the deputy commander and the deputy who fully assists the captain. He usually mainly manages miscellaneous tasks and his status is usually awkward. However, when the captain suddenly dies, is seriously ill and cannot perform his duties, the deputy commander is the captain's reserve, and then it will truly play a role.

Huang Laifu curled his lips. He would rather be a sailor than a deputy chief. It was too frustrating.

Below the deputy chief, there are five chiefs including the sailor, the deck sailing rope, the crossbow cannon, the sailor, the chief of the department, and the lower ones are the five senses such as the medical officer, the sailing officer, the wooden officer, the crossbow officer, and the kitchen officer.

This is the first time Huang Laifu has seen such a ship organizational structure with clear layers and distinct division of labor. If someone who doesn't understand navigation may not understand it very well, he can tell at a glance that the division of labor is quite reasonable. Xu Zi, the Marquis of Nan'an, seems to have really put in the effort.

Xu Zixian's experience comes from later generations' obsession with games and research on the era of sail warships.

In particular, its development of the British Navy reached an obsession for a period of time.

Xu Zixian had specifically inquired about the UK. In terms of the current development stage, the UK has just started. Its naval power is not strong and there is not much information to be found.

Xu Zixian could only reduce and improve the British sailing naval battleships according to his own allocation to the British sailing naval battleships in games and documents to build a powerful navy in his mind.

Huang Laifu did almost everything except doctors. He knew at a glance that in this architectural structure, in addition to the captain with the most real power, the second is the captain of the five captains, the most comfortable pilots. Each ship has qualified pilots, familiar with the currents and reefs of ports in various places, and can take the ships around the dangerous areas. In the vast sea, he can use stargazing, ocean currents, wind directions, weather observation and other methods to divert ships on the correct route, and can also avoid risks such as typhoons.

An experienced navigator is actually qualified to be a captain, but he is only able to become a navigator because he is lacking in character, experience, and skills.

This position is the most respected and relatively leisurely, and Huang Laifu is quite moved.

But after thinking about it, my experience, especially astrology, is still quite immature, and I am afraid it is not qualified.

In fact, the sail ropes are long, and the deck ropes are of course cool labor... The main sails of the lucky ship and the Guangdong ship are quite heavy. Every time they raise and lower the sails, they have to go up together, and they sweat a lot to succeed.

Sailors are the daily routines of managing sailors, as the name suggests, and it is not easy to do. They are often a bit weird in the sea all year round. Hormones cannot be released for a long time. Being brave and ruthless is the norm. There will be crazy people on every ship who suddenly go crazy, slashing people with a knife or jumping into the sea, which is hard to guard against.

The chief officer purchases the goods on the ship and receives and counts the goods of the cargo owner.

The crossbow captain, Huang Laifu glanced at it, not interested, this was a desperate errand. According to the official's statement just now, all the people on the ship were divided into two groups, a deck group and a crossbow group. The sailors did not care about the crossbow fighting.

Medical officials, sail repair, wood, crossbow, and kitchen are all chores, slightly higher than sailors.

Next comes the pure sailors, crossbow gunners and water camp warriors.

"The captain is not talented, and he is afraid that the captain is not qualified." Huang Laifu was determined and said, "The deputy is not good either. We are not very good at taking the ship to watch the stars and see the water. However, the sailing ropes are long and the sailors are long, and it feels qualified."

"You are a honest person." Li Yi smiled and said, "Someone wants to be the captain when they come up, and more people want to be the chief of the chief."

"The chief of staff must take the arithmetic exam." Huang Laifu said frankly: "The little one is okay. The arithmetic can only be added with your fingers, so this is not ugly."

Li Yi smiled and said, "If you don't want to fool it, try it?"

Huang Laifu said: "I think this way, how can I fool you at will if I can make up this set of things?"

Li Yi laughed and said, "As expected, Brother Huang has a clear mind. I think you are suitable for being the sailor of Fu No. 1. Are you willing to do it?"

Whether it is sailors and scrambled sail ropes, Huang Laifu is still willing to deal with people, which is much better than sweating every day. He immediately clasped his fists and said, "It was originally chosen by the young man, of course he is willing."

"The technical employment of our water camp is much higher than that of ordinary people," Li Yi closed her smile and said seriously: "As far as we know, ordinary sailors of merchant ships go to sea for three months, only earn more than ten or twenty cents of taxes, and they are all on the sea a year, and they can lose fifty or sixty cents. Is that right?"

This is also a similar market, and it is still a sea boat that runs more, farther and has higher returns.

If a sailor makes dozens of trump cards at one time, I am afraid there will be no farming people on Fujian Road, so everyone will go to the sea.

Even so, the income is not low. It is a common situation for a family of four to plant five or six acres of land in Fujian. It is hard for a year. In addition to food, the copper coins lost at most five or six stagnants.

Farming is better than stability, and the risk of running the sea is still too great. Nowadays, the farther the boat runs, the greater the profit and the greater the risk.

On the Japanese route, one of the ten ships may sink one when going out to sea, or one may be robbed by pirates. To Luzon, Sanfoqi, or Siam, one of the five or six ships will definitely be affected, or if it encounters a typhoon, or runs into a reef, or is robbed, and it is unlikely that all of them will come back safely.

Some people go to Mughals and other places, and the risk will be even greater, and one of the three ships will have an accident.

Once something happens to a sea boat, there are only one of them who can struggle to escape. Basically, once the boat sinks, all of them will die, and all the goods and people will be finished.

Only mature routes have smaller risks, but their profits are definitely smaller, and sailors don’t make much money.

Braving the typhoon, wind and waves, seasickness, and the hot sun, the money you earn several times more than farming is also a very reasonable income level.

Huang Laifu already understood at this time that the officials in front of him were very meticulous and meticulous in their work, and he answered reluctantly.

"The ship-led people and sailors are in charge of the seafar. The captains are usually hundreds of trump cards a year, but some are dividends, some are more than one thousand trump cards, but there are no dividends. Generally speaking, it is three or four hundred trump cards to more than a thousand trump cards a year."

Li Yi frowned and said, "But this is all book income. If you get sick at sea, the expenses for going to the port are all your own business. In addition, when you encounter pirates, the cargo owner will share the money with the people on the ship, and you will be unlucky if you encounter it. After more than ten years of running on the boat, there are many people who have not saved up a lot of money..."

Huang Laifu moved his body awkwardly. It was true that his income per year was ten times more than farming. In fact, he could buy at least ten or eight acres of land and build another house after a boat trip.

But in fact, there are very few people who can do this. The sailors work hard at sea and are under great pressure. They eat and drink when they arrive at the port, and gamble wildly. Those who can save money are usually older and tired of family members, so they can keep some of their hard-earned money. Some captain-level people use hundreds of trump cards a year, with great expenses and great risks. If you encounter unpredictable risks, you will inevitably lose money and eliminate disasters.
