"Hello, Mr. Liu Heima, I am Zhao Qi, this is Wu Min, we are businessmen from Heishui Trading Company." Zhao Qi hurriedly introduced himself.

"If you can't be a sir, you can't be a sir. You can call me Lao Liu or Lao Hei." Liu Heima hurriedly said. Although he is a Persian, he is already very familiar with the language of the Han Dynasty. Especially for more than a year, they have dealt with the Han people every day, so their Han Mandarin learns so quickly. In many cases, they rarely speak Persian in their villages.

Because they cannot use it, everyone must learn the Mandarin Chinese as soon as possible, so they use the Mandarin to communicate, and the learning speed is naturally fast. These are specifically told to them by literacy and popular police officers.

"Then I'll call you Lao Liu." Zhao Qi paused for a moment, but did not insist. He knew that dealing with these people was easier to talk to in an environment that the other party was more familiar with, and the language environment was also a kind of environment.

"Old Liu, I heard that you are the best sailor nearby, so I'm here to invite you this time." Zhao Qi said seriously.

"Ah? Sailor... I can't call a sailor, I'm just a fisherman." Liu Heima said embarrassedly. Of course, he knew the sailor's meaning. The officials in those ports have been talking about these issues, but they didn't expect that he would be called this day.

"No, an experienced fisherman is more important than a sailor. Our business is about to buy a merchant ship. I wonder if you have the idea of ​​becoming a sailor, Lao Liu?" Zhao Qi said seriously.

"This... I really haven't done these jobs." Liu Heima hesitated for a moment and said. Zhao Qi's words made him feel a little moved. The reason why he was moved was because the situation here has changed recently.

First of all, there are more and more Han people here, and with the continuous increase in construction of the Han Dynasty, there are more and more grain here. Moreover, there are a large number of jobs in the entire Zizhulin Port, and most of the people in their village go to work. According to their salary, their monthly salary is more than that of Liu Heima Fishing.

Although Liu Heima sells a lot of fish every time, he cannot go out to fish every day. Moreover, if you want to catch some delicious fish, you have to go to the deep sea. The danger is quite high. Since childhood, they have not come back after they go to sea.

This sea raised them and also devoured the lives of countless villagers.

Now that they have safer jobs, and can eat better and have enough food, who is willing to venture out on the ocean?

But Liu Heima never went because he had been working on the ocean all his life and could not leave this guy. Moreover, he was almost forty years old this year, and he passed the most senior grade. If he wanted to work, his earnings would not be as much as those young people.

Of course, he believed that with his experience in the ocean, he could find a job that suited him and earned a lot, but he... was always inseparable from this sea.

Almost all the people who stayed to fish in the village were similar, but now they don’t need to go to the deep sea when they fish. In the past, they often go to the deep sea when they fish because they need to catch some precious fish before they can sell them in exchange for some other daily necessities.

Although the ocean is rich in supplies and can keep them alive, what they need to live is more than food.

In the past, sea fish could not be sold at all because transportation was a huge problem, which is also the reason why their living conditions were very poor.

Now that Zhao Qi proposed to hire him, Liu Heima was naturally moved. This was the first person to come to find him and wanted to hire him. He was also working on the ocean. The most important thing is that the other party will soon have merchant ships. Those merchant ships are bigger than their fishing boats, and they are naturally safer.

He had seen Persian merchant ships.

"Old Liu, I said that you can do it, so of course you can do it. In this way, do you want to listen to the salary we give you? Come to me, and I will arrange for you to have a sailor's position, with a monthly salary of 20 yuan! And give 50 yuan to settle the house, and all the salary is paid for six months at a time, in advance." Zhao Qi said seriously.

When Liu Heima heard Zhao Qi's words, he was stunned. 20 yuan?! The highest salary in their village is only 9 yuan! But even so, 9 yuan is enough for a family of five to live a great life every month. Not only does it have enough food, but it can also eat meat. It's not fish, they have been tired of fish.

What they want is lamb, pork, beef, chicken, etc.

And you can also eat big white steamed buns made of white flour, which is unprecedented. Not only that, they can buy fine salt, many beautiful clothes, etc. Some people in the village are preparing to save money for themselves and prepare to buy a house in the future Zizhulin Port.

It is said that such houses are easy to live in, and there is glass! But this house is a bit expensive and costs 50 yuan to buy one, but if he agrees, he can buy one immediately with the settlement fee!

He went to see the renderings of the houses. They were so beautiful. Not only were they a small building on the second floor, but also had a large yard. In the yard, there were also places where some small vegetables and trees were planted. The streets were covered with green trees, and all of them were hardened.

Such a city is so beautiful, and the house is equipped with glass. There is a house that has been made. They call it a model house. The house is so beautiful, especially in the room, because it has glass and is nameless bright, and the house has been specially treated and not damp at all.

It's many times better than what they live now.

After seeing it, Liu Heima was obsessed with it. Several of his children wanted to live in such a new house.

However, he still needs to ask clearly what he should ask, "This... this shopkeeper, are you talking about it?" Liu Heima asked quickly.

"Of course it's true. Our things must be registered with the Ministry of Civil Security. All the hired personnel have the guarantee of our Dahan government. It is absolutely impossible to tell lies." Zhao Qi hurriedly spoke.

"Then...what exactly are we going to do?" Liu Heima asked again.

"We are a business, of course we do business, but we lack people who are familiar with sea life, so we hire you Lao Liu. How about it? Consider it, if you agree, the money will be in place today." Zhao Qi said quickly.

"This...if it is true, then I will agree." Liu Heima said decisively.

"That's great, welcome to join us." Zhao Qi stretched out his hand directly.

Liu Heima reached out and shook hands with Zhao Qi. At that moment, Zhao Qi took Liu Heima to the Civil Protection Department of Zizhulin Port without hesitation, and then signed a contract with him. Dahan's employment contract was protected by the government, and the department in charge was the Civil Protection Department.

If a dispute arises, the current resolution is the Police Department.

It is precisely because of this system that many businesses sign contracts with the Ministry of Civil Security when hiring personnel, they will immediately gain the support of their employees and it will be easier to recruit enough personnel.

On the contrary, some of the people who just recruit temporary workers are not that easy.

Although he has not been a member of the big man for a long time, Liu Heima knows these things that are closely related to him. After signing the contract, Zhao Qi directly asked Wu Min to hand over the 50 yuan settlement fee plus a six-month salary of 120 yuan to Liu Heima.

Liu Heima, who received this huge sum of money, almost covered his clothes and ran back home. Zhao Qi simply lent him a horse, asking him to come to the city tomorrow to gather, and asked Liu Heima to say hello to all the other fishermen in his village. If he thought these fishermen were good at skill, Zhao Qi would have it.

And they are given a salary of 12 yuan and a settlement fee of 50 yuan every month.

Hearing this condition, Liu Heima immediately patted his chest and promised that he would attract all the thirteen fishermen in their village, and he also said that the dozen fishermen in the village were considered to be of good skills.

Zhao Qi doesn't like the crowds now, so he uses as much as he can.

After dealing with Liu Heima's affairs, it will be more convenient if Zhao Qi and the others go to other villages to discuss things next, because Liu Heima is very famous nearby. With him as an example, it will be much easier to recruit people later.

Just like Zhao Qi thought, the next day, Liu Heima brought all the remaining people in their village. Not only that, he even brought a few more people from the neighboring village. Zhao Qi accepted all these people directly. According to the conditions he mentioned, there was no too much inquiry.

Liu Heima immediately showed enough gratitude for Zhao Qi's trust. He was a very real person, otherwise he would not have such a high prestige. Zhao Qi gave Liu Heima a new task, that is, he would continue to recruit people, and of course he had to be very good at skill.

In addition, Zhao Qi also asked Liu Heima to buy several large fishing boats. These fishing boats can accommodate more than 20 people on them. The fishing boats of this era are all purely manpower to work, so they are not small at all.

Zhao Qi did not forget that he now has two merchant ships, so the manpower he needed is naturally not a small number.

Regarding what Zhao Qi explained, Liu Heima thought it was the first task he gave to him, so he immediately patted his chest to ensure that it was absolutely completed.

Zhao Qi also went to buy the fishing boats that Zheng Liu had negotiated.
Chapter completed!
