107. Prepare to go
The next day was the day to go to sea, Yun Qin was inspired by Long Junli last night, and deliberately got up early, and under the leadership of Long Junli, he went to purchase a lot of daily necessities and put them into the space. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Then the two went to the employment market to select sailors.
It is useless to have a ship without sailors, and a ship without someone at the helm.
Because they came early, as soon as they arrived at the employment market, a group of men in short coats flocked to them.
Long Junli immediately scooped Yun Qin into his arms, swept over with a cold eye, those men were full of excitement, their footsteps paused, looked at him timidly, and stopped one meter away from them.
However, although they were a little afraid of Long Junli, seeing that his momentum and clothing were extraordinary, they didn't want to miss this opportunity, so they crowded a group of about twenty or thirty men into a pile and surrounded them in the middle.
"Two adults, do you want to hire sailors?"
Before Yun Qin and Long Jun could speak, a burly man in his forties with a rough voice crackled, "Please me, please me, I am the best sailor in this coastal city, I am very familiar with sea navigation, and I am very familiar with the sea conditions within a hundred nautical miles, where there is a spiral nest, where there is a reef, I know it well." ā
"Go, go, Wu San, if you are the best sailor in Coastal City, then what am I?" As soon as the man finished speaking, someone dismantled his platform, "Two adults, I am the most stable at the helm, you can invite me." ā
"Two adults, they lied to you, please me, I am the best sailor in Marina City, my asking price is very low, one crystal coin a day. ā
Yun Qin and Long Junli understood that the crystal coin was the currency that circulated among the nobles, and the currency exchanged between the common people was copper plates and silver. Don't look at the transactions of tens of thousands of crystal coins between the nobles and the major forces, but the salary of three or five taels a month among the common people is already extremely high.
Although there are risks at sea, this person's price is a crystal coin, which is not high, not to mention that their Dragon Court is still the strongest and safest ship.
For Yun Qin, who is now carrying a million dollars, a crystal coin is nothing, but she can't squander it wantonly, that's not her character. Besides, these people all say that they are good sailors, so who is bad?
Seeing Yun Qin's hesitation, the one who offered the price immediately said: "If the adults think the price is high, we can also discuss and negotiate appropriate discounts." However, adults should know that this sea is too risky, and it is almost a fight for life, so it can't be too low. ā
"Sailors, come thirty, two crystal coins per day, and five handymen and cooks, one crystal coin per day each. ā
Just as Yun Qin was considering whether to invite them, a loud voice sounded behind them.
Almost immediately, the group of sailors looked at them with disdain at the same time, and rushed towards the place where the sound sounded, along with some sailors who were waiting and watching.
Yun Qin looked over, yo ho, it's an acquaintance again.
I saw Cang Yun standing with a richly dressed young man who looked to be in his twenties, and the voice just now should have been made by the man.
As if he felt that someone was looking at him, Cang Yun also looked over, and when he saw that it was Yun Qin and Long Junli, he looked away from Yun Qin, moved to Long Junli, and nodded to him.
Obviously, Long Junli was not interested in him, and he turned his head arrogantly, and Li ignored him. But he said to Yun Qin: "The man who is with Cangyun is Wen Chengjun, the second young master of the Wen family in the Eight Great Families, that is, Cangyun's cousin and Concubine Wen's nephew. ā
It seems that this time the secret realm was unearthed, and all the countries and forces have dispatched the younger generation to go there, which is equivalent to a kind of experience. Yun Qin glanced at the man twice, wanting to remember that somewhat ordinary face.
Cang Yun felt that his face was a little unbearable, his face was a little stiff, and he and the man quickly selected thirty strong sailors and left.
The sailors who were not selected immediately gathered around Yunqin and them again.
But before they could step forward, Yun Qin took a step and walked inside.
Those people wanted to catch up, but Long Jun glanced at them coldly, and then stopped tremblingly.
"My lord, do you want to hire a sailor?" a young man in shabby clothes, but cleanly washed, walked towards them.
The young man was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked like a tiger, and he was a little afraid of life, and when he spoke, his face was dyed with a layer of red, and his voice was not loud.
"Do you have anything special?" Yun Qin asked with a smile as he had a good first impression of him.
"I'll be at the helm, and water is my forte. The young man Xu was worried that Yun Qin would not invite him, so he immediately added: "My grandfather is an old sailor, he has many years of experience at sea, and he is very familiar with the sea conditions of the Shina Sea, so adults don't have to worry about the ship hitting the reef, let alone getting lost at sea." It's just, it's just ......"
"Just what?" Yun Qin asked immediately when he saw that the young man's eyes were almost red when he saw that he was so anxious.
"It's just that my grandfather is too old to be at the helm anymore. The boy blushed and explained: "I brought my grandfather because he has a lot of experience in going to sea, and he can make up for my lack of experience." But don't worry, our grandparents and grandchildren only need one person's salary, as long as we take care of grandpa's two meals. ā
"Two meals?" Yun Qin was puzzled, "why two meals." ā
The young man scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "My family has a large population, and my father and mother are sick, so it's already very good to be able to eat two meals a day, and I'm used to it." ā
Yun Qin was a little frightened, she usually came into contact with rich people, and these days she is used to seeing rich people who spend a lot of money, they spend millions of crystal coins at every turn, while some people don't even have three meals, and the disparity between the rich and the poor is too great.
"Where's your grandfather?"
The teenager immediately pointed in a direction.
Yun Qin looked at the place where he pointed and saw an old man with snow-white hair sitting on the steps.
The old man's complexion was dark, which must have been the result of years of wind and sun, and his clothes were the same as those of the boy, although patches were patched, they were clean and fresh, and even his hair was regularly combed into a bun and fixed on the top of his head, with a wooden hairpin. Although he is old, his spirit looks good.
Seeing Yunqin and them looking over, the old man wanted to stand up, but the young man hurriedly ran over, helped the old man up, and walked towards them.
"The two adults, if you can't bring Xiao Lao'er, just invite Xiao Lao'er's grandson, his helm skills are taught by Xiao Lao'er himself, and he can still be in charge alone. "Compared with teenagers, the elderly are much more generous, after all, their life experience is there.
"You grandparents and grandchildren seem to be real people, we have all invited, each person has two crystal coins per day, okay?"
The old man and the young man didn't seem to expect such a good thing, and they couldn't help but be a little stunned.
However, the one who had just quoted one crystal coin heard that an old man who was not good at walking could get two crystal coins a day, and he was unwilling, although he was afraid of Long Junli, but in front of the silver coin, he couldn't care so much, so he boldly said: "Two adults, please me, I am much more useful than an old man." ā
When there is a person to start, someone immediately follows and shouts.
After coming back to their senses, the old man and grandson were a little embarrassed.
"Enough!" Long Junli said in a cold voice, "If you don't want to die, just step aside for me." ā
The noble temperament, the intimidating momentum, and the cold attitude are outstanding at a glance, and the status is noble, which is not something they can encroach on.
It's more important than money, or it's a small life!
The old man and the young man were also a little afraid of Long Junli, but they thought that they were quite decent, so they were relieved.
Therefore, except for the old man and grandson, everyone else trembled and retreated far away, and no one dared to step forward. They were obviously very afraid of Long Junli, but they still couldn't help but look at it twice.
Yun Qin secretly glanced at Long Junli, this kind of him was completely different from him who was alone with her, which made her suddenly feel that in addition to being gentle and doting on himself, he was cold to others.
The scene was a little strange for a while, but the old man spoke: "My lord, there are too many crystal coins, and the little old man is too old to do anything, or so much." ā
This move undoubtedly made Yun Qin grateful for their kindness, and said with a smile: "Old man, no more, no more, we value your experience in going to sea more." Besides, I still have something to ask you, old man. ā
When the old man saw her say this, he didn't postpone it anymore, "If the adult has anything to say, the little old man will spare no effort if he can help." ā
Yun Qin nodded and said, "What is the old man's surname?"
"Li, it's good for adults to call me Old Litou. The old man said and pointed to the young man, "He's a tiger." ā
"I'll call you Uncle Li. Yun Qin felt that it was a little rude for a young man to call Lao Li Tou, but calling Grandpa Li would inevitably make him feel uncomfortable, so he made a compromise and called him uncle,
"It's okay to be casual adults. Uncle Li liked this easy-going and polite teenager very much, unlike the arrogant employers he had come into contact with in the past.
"Uncle Li, listen to Huzi, you have many years of experience in going to sea, you must know many peers, I want to ask you to select fifty sailors for us, you don't need to be strong and strong, as long as you are honest and willing to work. "The Dragon Court is big, stable and firm, as long as you take the helm, you don't need to rely on physical strength to bless it.
Uncle Li was so happy, "This is no problem, but my lord, will it be too many to invite fifty sailors?"
"Not much, our ship is bigger. ā
"Okay, just come with me. ā
Uncle Li didn't say anything more, and led Yunqin Longjun to the inside of the market, where nearly a thousand sailors gathered.
The old man picked fifty sailors for Yunqin who were down-to-earth and did their duty, and a dozen honest men who cooked and did chores, negotiated the wages, and then went to the beach.
At this time, the sea and sky are the same color, and the blue sea is even the sky.
Hundreds of large and small ships are docked on the shore in a row, looking like a long dragon across the shore from a distance, it can be described as spectacular, the most conspicuous, naturally the largest and most luxurious Longting in the middle, followed by the Blue Moon next to it.
The people who went to sea plus the hired sailors and miscellaneous servants were crowded together.
