"Let's talk about it, this is my first time coming to Haojing Ao, I didn't expect there to be so many people here!" Gao Han said: "Maybe for a while, I have to stay here, I have to deal with the Yi people, I am a bit troublesome, if someone can communicate with them for me, and it doesn't cost much, why don't I do it?" ”

"A silver dollar a day?" The girl pondered for a moment, probably remembering the loss she had just suffered, and immediately corrected: "No, it's one tael of silver, we have ten people, give you a twenty percent discount, eight taels of silver a day!" ”

Liu Ru couldn't help but burst out laughing, seeing the handsome young man laughing at herself, the girl's face swelled with anger and glared at her fiercely.

Gao Han also laughed, this girl looks old-fashioned, but doing things, it's a little too unreliable, just these few pitiful-looking wandering sailors, they actually dare to ask for eight taels of silver a day, whether this is not knowing the market, or think too highly of themselves, you know, even if this Victor Chamber of Commerce maintains order, the "rent" paid by these eastward Portuguese to Xiangshan County is only five hundred taels of silver a year.

After all, it costs 3,000 taels of silver a year to hire this girl and her companions, does this girl think that he and his companions are worth more than six Hao Jing O?

"How long did you come to Haojing Ao, to our Daming!"

Gao Han smiled and asked: "Forget it, I don't know what you think of our Da Ming, but the only thing I can tell you for sure is that our Da Ming may not be as you think, the ground is full of gold, and we are not stupid!" ”

"You are not stupid, you are treacherous!"

The girl muttered, probably realizing that her offer was a joke in the eyes of the other party, but she couldn't pull this face even if she asked her to talk back.

It's not, although I bought the twenty quintals of tea yesterday, and even one-third more silver dollars, how could the girl not know that if the twenty quintals of tea could be shipped back to Lisbon intact, she could immediately become a little rich woman, that's right, Oriental tea is so popular in Lisbon, it's so expensive.

The problem is that she can't get it back now, and besides, she knows her own affairs, and it's very difficult to go back to Lisbon.

Next, the two of them don't talk about this employment, just as a casual conversation, and the girl eats the shortest of people's houses, as long as it doesn't involve interests, she is quite willing to talk to this rich young man who looks like the East, both of them don't know anything about each other's world, and they both have the desire to understand each other's world, and this talk is quite harmonious.

The girl's name is Olivia, born in a small aristocratic family in Lisbon, said to be a small nobleman, Gao Han estimated that this Olivia was a gold statement on his face, probably the ancestors were small nobles and said the past, to her parents' generation, in fact, there is no difference from ordinary citizens.

However, although he has been reduced to the citizen class, Olivia's parents have never extinguished the heart that wants to restore the glory of his ancestors.

When Olivia was sixteen years old, her parents betrothed her to the son of another minor nobleman, and her fiancé was studying at the Royal Naval College in Lisbon, which was a promising kind, at least Olivia's parents thought so.

It's a pity that after the other party graduated from the Royal Naval Academy, he directly attached himself to another big nobleman's young lady, and the family affairs that everyone thought were good before obviously became an obstacle.

The other party wanted to repent of the marriage, but where were Olivia's parents willing to agree, and even offered sky-high compensation, which annoyed the other party.

Even if the other party is a small nobleman, the energy is not comparable to the Olivia family, which has become an ordinary citizen, probably colluding with the government, looking for a crime, and making the other party bow his head, but as a result, probably because of too much force, Olivia's father died in prison inexplicably.

These things became bigger, and Olivia's mother was heartbroken, and it wasn't long before she went with her husband to see God.

Olivia attributed all of this to her own negative man, this girl was also ruthless, agreed to withdraw from the marriage, endured it for half a year, and finally found an opportunity to give her own negative man a cup of poisoned wine at a drinking party.

If Olivia doesn't want to die if she kills the royal officer, then she has to flee to the end of the world.

Thinking of the rich empire in the East that her former governess had described to herself, Olivia disguised herself as a man and boarded an adventurous ship to the East, anyway, the Kingdom of Portugal had no place for her, and in the East, perhaps she could still find her own paradise.

What happened between Lisbon and Ho Jing O, she didn't want to say much, but Gao Han could guess it with her toes.

When she arrived at sea, most of the people who accompanied her were adventurers and outlaws, and fugitives like her, she was a girl, either committed to a strong protector or became strong herself, and there was no other way to survive.

And looking at the attitude of the companions behind her to her today, and the fact that she can calmly negotiate employment with her on behalf of her companions, it can be seen that she has chosen the latter, and, for now, it seems that she has achieved a small success.

It's a pity that she was able to set foot on the land of the Ming Empire with great difficulty, and as soon as she landed on the shore, she didn't know that there was already a merchant group of her own kingdom occupied here, and she didn't know what the difference between the world here and the world he was familiar with.

"One tael of silver a day, one settlement a month!" Gao Han felt that he had understood enough about the other party, and made his own conditions: "I will only hire you, of course, if all your companions come, I can give double the money, two taels of silver a day!" Couldn't have been more! ”

She looked at the other party: "Hire you, be my bodyguard, bodyguard, interpreter, and even thug, during the employment period, all the expenses spent on food, drink and clothing are all mine, but if I am not satisfied with your performance, I can terminate the employment agreement at any time, you don't have to be in a hurry to refuse, if you don't agree, I will also go to the Victor Chamber of Commerce to hire, I believe that at this price, I will already hire better people than you and your partners!" ”

Gao Han looked at her with a smile: "I hired you, in fact, because I have a female dependent, if you want to think otherwise, then there is no need!" ”

Olivia didn't agree, he didn't refuse, Gao Han didn't force it, he knew that this girl, he definitely had to investigate, of course, he wasn't in a hurry, he was just a Yiren on the road, he could be hired, a little more help, it didn't matter if he couldn't be hired.

After eating, Gao Han and the others directly settled the bill and left, on the sea ship in the port, there was a group of subordinates, first find a place for them to settle, it is much more important than the things that are scurrying around on the shore, going ashore is nothing more than taking the second daughter to see the world, a rough understanding of this place, if you really want to do something, but you don't think about it.
