Tokai-gun!

Originally, because the land is far away and it is near the sea, there are some places where food cannot be grown at all, so the people here do not live very comfortably.

If there is no food, you have to go to the sea to fish, but you can't fish at any time, you can't do it in windy weather, you can't do it in high waves, you can't run too far, because no one knows whether it will encounter wind and waves in the next moment.

This is not alarmist, these villages near the sea have several cases of fishing boats going missing every year.

Since the second year of Zhenguan, life here has finally been better, and more villagers have gone out to sea to fish.

In the past, fishing could only be eaten by oneself, often fishing in the offshore sea for a day, enough for a family to eat for a few days, but now, with the emergence of dried fish, although the market demand for dried fish is not as large as before, but the sales are still quite good.

Three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, I dare not guarantee anything else, at least the family is much better than working outside.

The premise is to have their own fishing boat, otherwise, they can only receive four cents a day, of course, every time they go to sea, the boatman will give the crew some extra fish as a reward according to the harvest.

On the sea not far from the land, a small fishing boat is fluttering with a jade pendant, and there are several dark-skinned men standing on it, pulling the fishing net with both hands.

Because everyone is fishing inshore, and they are all such small boats, they can't go too far, so since the beginning of the year, there are fewer and fewer fish that can be caught in one net.

If it was placed in the past, this net would have been able to make up one or two hundred catties, but now, it would be good to have fifty catties.

"Second brother, why don't we two partner up for a new boat?" This small fishing boat doesn't need many people, so Tian Ju didn't go outside to hire people, and directly pulled his second brother and son and nephew over, a total of six people, it is impossible to make a big fortune, and it is no problem to make a little money.

Perhaps in order to take care of his brother, Tian Ju is also much more generous than the outside in terms of wages, and directly gives the second family six yuan per person, and then every time he harvests, he will always make the brother's family full.

Although such a day is comfortable, if you continue to go on according to the current situation, let alone a salary of six yuan, it is a question of whether you can fill your stomach.

The market is small, but there are more and more people going out to sea to fish, and some people who can't afford to buy boats even dare to build their own rafts and go directly to the sea, of course, they can't go farther.

But unfortunately, there are many boats like Tian Ju here, not far away, where you can reach a meal, there are seven or eight boats fishing, and the production is the best proof of this, if you continue to stay here, there is only a dead end.

"A few days ago, I inquired, someone bought that kind of big boat, you can go to a farther place to fish, I heard them say that there is no one there at all, and you can come back with a few nets when you get to the place, and they have a lot of fish, and many workshops are willing to collect from them, and those people now go to sea every day." Tian Ju was a little tempted.

Although there are dangers in the open sea, the danger can be minimized by the size of the boat, and as long as you don't risk fishing, safety is no problem.

As for here, unless you are drowned directly, you can't die if you want to, and there are fishing boats everywhere nearby, and everyone will always take a hand when they see it.

"Big brother, the big ship is not cheap, we can't afford it, right?" The second child was also a little moved, but when he thought of the price of that ship, the signs that had just risen were instantly extinguished.

"How can you not afford it?" Tian Ju saw that his brother was a little tempted, and decided to continue to work harder, "I have already asked someone, the kind of newest fishing boat that can rely on sails and manpower to travel, the price of one is about two hundred yuan, and that kind of boat can hold almost ten thousand catties at a time, but it usually only loads four or five thousand catties of fish, and basically comes back with some water." This kind of boat can have a round trip on the same day, a pound of fish sold to them for about two dollars, which is almost 100,000 yuan, in addition to all kinds of expenses, plus the weather is not suitable for fishing, full of calculations, as long as people are diligent, as little as three months, more than five months, the cost of this boat can be returned, and then it is all earned. ”

Tian Eryi heard that a ship would cost more than 200 times, and he was instantly frightened and shivered, even if Tian Ju had already said that he would be able to return to his capital in three or five months, but who could guarantee this kind of thing?

A few months ago, a pound of fish could be sold for four yuan, but now? The price has dropped for a lifetime, and the devil knows if it will continue to reduce the price next, and if it does, the result will be very bad.

Every time the price doubles, the time it takes for them to return to their capital will double, and if the price keeps falling, when will they be able to return to their capital?

"Big brother, will it be a bit risky?" Tian Er hesitated.

"Adventure? Second, when I started this ship, didn't you also say that it was risky? But the result? I returned to the original in less than three months, and now I don't have more in my hands, and I can still take out dozens of runs. If you want to make money, there is no way not to take risks, let me tell you this, even if you really don't make money in the end, it's a big deal to sell the ship cheaper, and we won't lose anything. Tian Ju looked at his second child with some hatred, and asked him to partner with him to build this ship, but he was stunned and refused, if it weren't for the face of the second child who lent him a sum of money in the end, he would have been too lazy to take him to make money together.

And now Tian Ju has a new idea, except for the fact that borrowing money made his feelings for the second child a little heavier, he was originally a biological brother, and the family affection was still there, so he thought of continuing to make money with the second child.

"Second child, I'll tell you so, whether you participate in this matter or not, I plan to do it, I'll ask about the loan after I go back this time, if you agree, let's do it together in partnership, if you don't have money, you will have less money, it's nothing more than taking a little less in the end, if you don't agree, my brother will let you follow in the future, and the salary should go up and give it to you, don't watch my brother make money at that time, and you will start to regret it." If the second child doesn't agree again, Tian Ju plans to do it himself.

Taking advantage of the fact that there are not many big ships now, hurry up and buy one to make a lot of money, and if it is later, it will be difficult to say.

Tian Er's heart is also very entangled, don't you blush? That's pure.

Don't look at the lack of fish in the past few months, the boss earns less than before, and the salary of being a helper is not much or less, and every time he sells the fish, he will immediately give it to himself.

But even if he earns less, the boss still earns more than himself.

In less than a year, the boss not only repaid the money he borrowed to buy a boat, but also gave a lot of interest, and now? I already have dozens of deposits in my hands.

Look at yourself again, the work is not less than the boss, but he doesn't worry about it more, he brought his two sons over together, the three of them have only earned less than four times in the past year, and this is still the boss who looks at the face of his brother to give more, put it outside for four dollars a day, how long does it take for the three of them to earn four times?

Poor people are usually red-eyed, but because they have no confidence and can't afford to lose, they often don't dare to take risks even if they find business opportunities.

Among all successful people, a large part of them are self-made, just like Tian Ju, with the first adventure, after tasting the benefits, he naturally dares to take the second risk, although he still can't afford to lose, but as long as he can succeed this time, he will lose it in the future.

"Big brother, will the price drop again in the future?" Tian Er still had a hard time making up his mind.

"Does it matter if he descends or not? It's a big deal, our brothers also open a workshop, fish by themselves, dry fish and sell it, and then the profits will come back together? And pay one less tax, there are some advantages in price, and you are afraid that you will have no business? Tian Ju buckled his teeth, and didn't care about the salty smell of his hands.

Tian Er fell into deep thought again, he knew the boss's good intentions, but it was obviously not so easy to let a person who had never had business experience make this decision.

Looking ahead and looking ahead, suffering from gains and losses, these eight words can well describe Tian Er's current state.

"Dad, look at that ship...... "Tian Ju's eldest son pointed to a ship in the distance with a shocked face.

Tian Er, who was suffering from gains and losses, also looked up, it was a slightly larger ship than his own, but it was not that big.

It's just a little high, and it's still smoking, well, smoking.

"This ......" Tian Ju's pupils contracted violently, with a ghostly expression.

His voice trembled a little, "How is this possible?" Without even opening the sails, how could they run so fast? I didn't see anyone on top of the oars maneuvering. ”

"No...... There won't be ghosts, right? ”

‘duang……’

Tian Ju slapped his second son on the head directly, and he was so angry that he couldn't kick this thing down, and reprimanded angrily: "Where did the ghost come from in broad daylight?" If the rabbit cub dares to talk nonsense again, Lao Tzu will let you swim back. ”

"It seems to be someone from the sailor, and the flag on it looks a bit like ......" Tian Er looked up at the fast-moving ship, and faintly saw the somewhat familiar flag.

Sailors often go to sea for training, other people's boats are called real boats, a boat is loaded with hundreds of people as if playing, once around, Tian Er even fantasized that he could drive the sailor's boat out to fish, wouldn't it be a direct profit to go out so much?

But it's a pity that a person who doesn't even dare to buy a fishing boat for himself can go out fishing with a sailor's boat?

"Sailor? Yo, when you say that, it looks really like. Tian Ju looked at it carefully, it was indeed like the flag of the sailor, but he was even more depressed in his heart, "Why can the sailor's boat run so fast?" And the sailors don't seem to have such boats, right? ”
