Chapter 1676

The boss of the ship was shocked when he heard this: "Ten, ten times?! Sir, are you serious?"

Before King Xiang could speak, the official from the Ministry of Revenue next to him shouted: "The young master said so, of course it is true. Do you think the young master can't take out the money?"

The boss of the ship shook his head quickly: "That's not what the small one means, but the price is ten times the price, which is too much!"

The boss of the boat explained again: "I'm afraid I don't know that this job of catching hooks in the water is not safe. One person needs at least two or three people to cooperate, which is hundreds of taels of silver."

The boss of the boat was full of desire to speak but stopped.

It took only a few dozen taels for King Xiang and others to book the ship.

It only takes double or even triple money to get a hook into the water. How could ordinary people do this?

The boss of the ship thought to himself, isn’t this a sucker?

King Xiang saw his thoughts: "The price of ten times is only fifty taels, which is nothing to me. And you just said that going into the water at night is a life-threatening job, and if you don't do it well, you will have to lose your life."

After pausing, King Xiang smiled and said, "Does the boat boss think that the life of your brothers on the boat is not worth fifty taels?"

"This" ship boss was speechless.

The two sailors standing behind him flushed excitedly, and they couldn't help but hit the boss's arm of the boat, and whispered: "Brother, why are you still hesitating? Such generous guests are rare!"

King Xiang raised his eyebrows when he heard this and said, "You choose someone to go into the water yourself. You must have good water quality. It doesn't matter if there are more people. The starting price I offer!"

The two sailors were very surprised and hurriedly bowed: "Thank you sir!"

After saying that, he couldn't wait to run towards the other sailors.

Another official from the Ministry of Revenue shouted: "Boss Boss, the young master feels sorry for the difficulty of sailing on a boat. Why don't you thank the young master?"

The boss of the ship said gratefully: "Thank you all."

When Xiao Lingyue saw this scene, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. Unexpectedly, King Xiang still had the potential of such a "snatcher".

But it's also

After all, he was a prince. He was born in the royal family since he was a child and did not understand the lives of the people.

I suddenly came into contact with the life of ordinary fishermen and felt a little moved, not to mention that the price of fifty taels per person was nothing to King Xiang.

Give it, just give it.

It's always more useful than eating, drinking and having fun.

As the saying goes, there will be brave men under heavy rewards.

Even if the wind and waves on the river are too strong, the sailors are aware of the danger of going into the water at night due to the wind and waves.

But with the reward of fifty taels per person, all the sailors on the boat became restless, and even the fishermen in the kitchen couldn't help but run out when they heard the news, rushing to participate.

"Fifty taels! I can't make this money for a year on the boat!"

"I am worthy of being a noble man from the capital!"

"If I had this money, my house would be repaired."

"My wife always wanted a silver hairpin. With fifty taels, I can buy her gold!"

The sailors were so excited that they whispered to each other, and their faces were red with excitement.

There were more than 20 people on the ship, almost everyone signed up, and no one wanted to miss such a good opportunity to make money.

Fortunately, the boss of the ship was rational and did not dare to really treat King Xiang as a sucker. He carefully selected five sailors with the best water quality and asked King Xiang to choose.

King Xiang didn't even look at it, and waved his hand and asked for it all: "Just five of them!"

Before the ship boss could speak, the five sailors almost jumped up in joy and patted their chests to ensure that they would check the situation in the water clearly.

Xiao Lingyue looked around and saw that the other sailors who had not chosen were gritting their teeth and could not hide their envy.

Some are upset, while others are jealous.
