When Wang Kun and Cheng Luo were still drinking tea in the tavern, Shopkeeper Li hurriedly ran to a mansion and was now standing in front of an old man talking something.

"That's basically the case, he's talking about recruiting people to do business, but their expressions are a little strange. So I'm not so sure either! Shopkeeper Li said what he knew and what he thought.

When the old man heard this, he just thought about it and said, "Hmm! Okay, go for it! ”

However, when he saw the expression of Shopkeeper Li, he still asked, "Why do you still have something to say?" ”

Shopkeeper Li smiled awkwardly and said, "Master! Do you think we're mixing some sand with them? ”

"Huh? This is not necessary, he Cheng Luotang is a general who is unwilling to do it, but he went to be a robber, do you believe this? Besides, if you talk about such a hidden thing, the people you bring will definitely be screened by themselves. So it's not beautiful for you to press your own people, anyway, they will recruit people in the future, don't rush it now! ”

"It's still the master who has no last resort, so I'll do it!" After saying that, Shopkeeper Li exited the room.

Wang Kun and the three of them in the tavern didn't know that the person they wanted to recruit was almost mixed with sand, but even if they were mixed with it, Wang Kun would probably not care.

Wang Kun actually has no money to recruit people this time, so this time it all depends on Cheng Luo's popularity and face. And the little money that Cheng Luo and Xie Wu had was also squeezed down by Wang Kun.

Just when the three of them were bored, Shopkeeper Li hurriedly came to the three and told them that they were already waiting by the river when they had all the people. So under the leadership of Shopkeeper Liu, the group came to the river, and from afar you could see about 80 people standing by the river, or authors, or half-lying.

Wang Kun saw these people before he reached the river, with yellow faces and thin muscles, dry bodies, and wearing coarse cloth sweatshirts, and the ribs on both sides could be seen at a glance. The dry braids are coiled around the neck, they are not neatly braided, and they look messy.

Whether these people are standing or sitting, their backs are slightly hunched, and they seem to be bent over by life. Most of them are expressionless, or rather indifferent, and the whole person looks lifeless. Come to think of it, this should be the current situation of most Chinese people's lives!

Seeing the appearance of these people, Zhao Shichang pursed his lips, isn't this obviously a person who works! Such a thin person can be blown away by a big wind, so that they can work however they want.

Wang Kun was also a little skeptical that they could withstand the high-intensity labor. It's just that there is almost no choice now, if it weren't for Cheng Luo's satisfied nod, Wang Kun would have thought that he had been deceived!

However, Wang Kun still whispered his worried thoughts in Cheng Luo's ear, and after listening to Wang Kun's worries, Cheng Luo smiled and replied: "Don't worry about this, the current Chinese are like this, but you can rest assured that they have no problem working." ”

Hearing Cheng Luo say this, Wang Kun still remained skeptical, because he used to be a mercenary, so the companions he saw were all strength-type, but now he suddenly saw that they were all so thin and yellow, and he was dull, Wang Kun still didn't believe it.

But it's already good, because they don't feel safe overseas, so they'd rather be tired than leave with strangers.

So as long as you can take people away this time and prove that you are safe with us, then it will be much more convenient when you recruit people next time. Although Wang Kun was not very satisfied with these people, in the end Wang Kun still recruited them all, because there are only these at present, and there will be no more.

In the end, the population was only eighty-three, but it was already very good, Wang Kun originally only planned to recruit fifty people, and the more he could, the better. As for not having enough food to feed them, it doesn't matter that as soon as they start working, they will have money to buy food. Because Wang Kun is already preparing to open a gold mine.

In the end, under the push of Cheng Luo and the shopkeeper Li, the other party still did not charge the so-called intermediary fee. Let the three of them take this group of people away.

When a group of people saw the strange appearance of the ship in front of them, it was needless to say that they were surprised. It's just that their indifferent and numb expressions made them not too surprised!

It seems that for them, as long as they can live one day, it will not be too surprising that there is no tomorrow. So they all have an indifferent look on their faces about the outside world, and even if they know that the ship is windless, they just feel amazing, and then they are gone and go back to the state they were in when they were on the river.

Wang Kun let these more than 80 people squeeze into the cabin of the ship, although it was a little crowded, it was a paradise for these recruited workers. They had never made a boat so clean, and it didn't wobbly when it walked.

Wang Kun asked Zhao Shichang to drive the boat, and then called Zhang Lei, Cheng Luo and Xie Wu to a meeting at the bow of the boat, and said what he had thought in the past two days.

"To tell you the truth, I told you before that this recruitment was for the development of gold mines, and this is not wrong. However, just now Shopkeeper Li mistakenly thought that we were going to do pirate business, and he was not wrong! Wang Kun saw everyone's expressions, and he had a bottom in his heart.

Zhang Lei doesn't care, being a pirate has been discussed before. But now is the off-season of sea trade, do you want everyone to drink the northwest wind!

Cheng Luo and Xie Wu really had such expressions, but thinking about it, they felt that they might be able to do it, even if they didn't run, it would be no problem, so that these people would know that the sky was high and the earth was thick.

"Then I'm going to talk about my detailed plan, I plan to dig gold in Shelom Mun, Sarawak, and then let them do the gold mining while they receive basic military training. Let them master the basic military skills, and after two or three months they will almost be trained, and then I think the peak season of the sea trade has arrived! ”

After hearing what Wang Kun said, Zhang Lei patted his brain excitedly and said in annoyance: "Why didn't I think of it? We can also go to Shilongmen to develop gold mines, we used to spend vacations, and we also saw the gold pits left by their gold panning, now I think it hasn't been mined there! ”

After speaking, Zhang Lei's excitement has not calmed down, because he knows that there is another benefit.

"Not only that, but we can also hold the exit of the Strait of Malacca, so that we can rob whoever we want to rob. The location is fantastic and it's also close to our Temasek. Big brother, you're so talented! ”

Zhang Lei couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart at the moment, and it was only now that he saw the direction of his future development.

However, Xie Wu was now confused, because he began to listen too seriously, and he obviously heard what Zhang Lei said: they had gone to see the gold panning pit left by others, but he said that he wanted to come and others had not mined it yet. So the next question is, does he see it or not?

Unlike Xie Wu's entanglement, Cheng Luo doesn't care, as long as he doesn't ask himself to go down to mine himself. As for the language disease in Zhang Lei's sentence, Cheng Luo also heard it, but he had experienced too much in the past few days, but he didn't care too much.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Wang Kun knew that his plan was still okay, and then continued: "Since you all think it's okay, then it's decided." Let's go to Shilongmen next and go to Shilongmen to develop a gold mine. I'll go to the cabin now and ask how many of them have been in gold panning. ”

After speaking, Wang Kun went down to the cabin to register. Seeing Wang Kun leaving Zhang Lei, he also felt that it was boring to stand on the bow of the boat like this, so he took out his previous high-powered military telescope to look at the sea at this time, to see that the sky was so blue at this time, and his heart was so peaceful.

At this time, the ship had already sailed to the sea, because it had been determined to go to Shilongmen before dark, so the boat was still relatively fast. Because I want to get them there before it gets dark, and then let them build the house by themselves. Otherwise, you will have to spend the night crammed on a boat.

Cheng Luo and Xie Wu felt that the ship was getting faster and faster, and at this moment they were confused and felt hope in their hearts. Because they didn't know what the future would be like, but seeing the boat go so fast felt like they had entered another world, a world they had never heard of before. I think that if I follow these three people in the future, I should be able to see more strange things!

Xie Wu saw that Zhang Lei was now holding a strange-shaped thing in front of him, and he looked left and right with some curiosity, so he stepped forward and asked, "Brother Zhang, what are you doing?" Can you show me? ”

Zhang Lei felt a little sore when he heard this title, Nima! I'm almost thirty years old, okay! As a result, when he crossed over, he inexplicably became a young man, and the most speechless thing was that the eldest brother Wang Kun actually changed from an uncle to a young little white face in the blink of an eye. It looks like I'm not used to it, and I haven't gotten used to it for days.

"Oh! That's what you say! This is called a telescope, with which he can clearly see two kilometers away. Saying this, Lei handed the telescope to Xie Wu.

After some exchanges last night, the three of them are now ready to accept the two. And after Cheng Luo and Xie Wu saw some strange and practical things, after hearing Wang Kun's plan for the future just now, they also decided to join them for the time being, anyway, there is nowhere for the two of them to go now.

Xie Wu got the telescope as if he had got a strange toy, looking left and right, up and down, one time to move closer and some time to move away. Xie Wu was like a curious baby, he turned over and turned over, he was curious, how could he see so far? This is much farther than the monocular clairvoyant before the Commander.

Xie Wu's curiosity couldn't be suppressed, so he simply asked, "Brother Zhang, how did you do this clairvoyant mirror?" It's amazing that you can see so far, much farther than the one before the Commander, and this one can be seen with two eyes! ”

Seeing Xie Wu's excited and curious look, although Zhang Lei knew that he had explained, the other party might not necessarily understand, but he still said it.

"It's not hard to say, but it's not easy to do. This binoculars is based on the same principle as a monocular clairpiece. It's just a combination of convex lenses with different focal lengths, and you're good to go, but it's not so simple to do! Zhang Lei explained simply, but I don't know how much I can understand.

Xie Wu really didn't understand, no! Not heard, exactly!

Because he saw a merchant ship with a tall mast in front of him, and he was too far away to see the ship below!
