Seeing that he had defeated the pirates and saved his life, the owner Xiao Xiangui was also full of joy. He let out a long sigh of relief as he leaned www.biquge.info the side of the boat.

Although he was timid, he was a ship owner after all, and he knew that at this time, he needed to vigorously reward all those who had made meritorious contributions in order to stabilize the loyalty of the crew.

Seeing everyone celebrating the victory, Xiao Xiangui laughed a few times, which can be regarded as a self-mockery for the cowardice just now. With a wave of his hand, he announced loudly again:

"This battle was a great victory, thanks to everyone's courage to kill the enemy. The ship and cargo were not robbed, and the credit lies in all the staff! Twenty taels of silver for each person! ”

"Mu Xu kills one enemy three times, and another thirty taels of silver will be awarded!"

"Wang Jian of the head shop killed two enemies, and another sixty taels of silver were awarded!"

"Mu Shao Li Tu killed four enemies, the greatest meritorious service, promoted Li Tu to the second shop on the ship, and awarded another 120 taels of silver."

The second shop is the adjutant of the main shop, and is the deputy commander of the war on the ship. According to the rules of Zaixing, these two shops can get sixty taels of silver a year. Not only that, but Li Tu was also rewarded with one hundred and twenty taels of silver.

A few days ago, I was still running back and forth for forty taels of silver, and at this time, I was rewarded with more than one hundred taels of silver at once, how can you make Li Tu unhappy?

With the remuneration of the second shop, when I return to Zhangzhou next year, I can give money to my mother and younger brother to buy a field and a house. Thinking of this, Li Tu was also overjoyed and couldn't help but smile.

"Lin Zhi, the shipwright who sacrificed, will give one hundred taels of silver to settle down, and hand it over to his relatives after the ship returns to Zhangzhou next year."

Hearing the owner's reward, everyone rejoiced. The sailors high-fived and celebrated.

After announcing the reward and seeing everyone's happiness, Xiao Xiangui said to himself, "This time I have matched Chen Shengning, and I really don't know what to do when I return next year." ”

Thinking of this, Xiao Xiangui was full of panic and couldn't be happy.

asked the "manager" Xue Yiming to reward everyone with silver, and Xiao Xiangui walked back to the tail building alone.

The chief steward is the lieutenant of the ship, and usually the chief of the ship is the largest except for the owner. At this time, everyone happily gathered in front of Xue Yiming, waiting for him to call his name and distribute the reward.

In the crowd, Li Tu saw the boatman Wang Mazi standing beside him.

Li Tu patted Wang Mazi on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother Wang Mazi, I was offended a lot during the battle on the boat that day, and I still looked at Haihan." ”

When Wang Mazi saw Li Tu talking to him, he said in fear: "The second shop official made fun of Wang!" The second shop official laughed! Wang Mou is a rough person, and he dares to compete with the second shop official without knowing the sky, and it is natural to be taught a lesson. The second shop officer is young and heroic, not comparable to me and other rough people, the second shop officer will not mention this matter again in the future, causing other boatmen to laugh at me. ”

After this battle, everyone on the ship had a very different opinion of Li Tu. When Wang Mazi and Li Tu talked, they were respectful, and I am afraid that they were a little more respectful than meeting the head shop.

Everyone is in the same boat, one person turns the tide of the war, and the boatload of people is saved, how can you not respect the capable people?

The position of the second shop was said by Wang Mazi to be the "second shop official", which shows the gratitude in his heart.

With another hand, Wang Mazi said again: "Just now, thanks to the second shop officer, he stepped forward and encouraged the whole ship to fight bravely. If it weren't for the merits of the second shop official, my Wang Mazi would not only not have been able to receive the twenty-two taels of silver, but he might even be the ghost of the pirate's sword. There is a second shop officer on the ship, which is very different! ”

was praised by Wang Mazi like a flower, and Li Tu was also a little embarrassed. Smiling, Li Tu said indifferently: "I'm just afraid that the whole ship will suffer, so I went up as soon as I was excited." ”

When Wang Mazi heard this, he shook his head and said: "The second shop official is modest, the second shop official is a young hero, we ordinary people can't compare." ”

Hearing the conversation between Wang Mazi and Li Tu, the boatmen next to him also came up one after another, and discussed in a mixed manner:

"Erpu Young Hero, unusual!"

"If there wasn't a second shop, I'm afraid we would have surrendered just now! I don't know how many people will be killed by pirates to sacrifice their heads. ”

Seeing that everyone praised himself, Li Tu hugged his fists and saluted the people around him, and said loudly: "Everyone, we are in the same boat, and Li Tu will take more care of you in the future!" ”

The crew replied:

"That's natural!"

"The second shop official is polite!"

Li Tu was talking to the boatmen, but he heard Xue Yiming call his name.

"Erpu Li Tu, reward one hundred and twenty taels of silver!"

Li Tu turned around and was about to go up to get the silver, but he saw Xue Yiming holding the silver and walking towards him.

Personally sent the silver to Li Tu, Xue Yiming said with a smile: "Little Brother Li just boosted morale and bravely killed the enemy, saving a boatload of people!" It's so majestic! If it weren't for Brother Li, the old man's thin life, I don't know if he could keep it? ”

Li Tu took the heavy one hundred and twenty taels of silver, and replied indifferently: "The manager has won the prize!" ”

Then Xue Yiming looked Li Tu up and down with his eyes, and said with a smile: "Does Little Brother Li have a marriage match?" ”

Li Tu replied honestly: "I haven't married a wife yet!" ”

When Xue Yiming heard this, he looked left and right with a smile, as if he had picked up a treasure, and said loudly: "Oh, that's not good, my family has a niece who is twenty-eight years old, and her family is also a scholarly family, and now she has not yet decided to marry, and she is a good match for Brother Li!" When he returns to Zhangzhou in the future, I will definitely introduce Brother Li. ”

Seeing that Li Tu performed well, Xue Yiming had a heart of love for talent, so he wanted to marry his niece to Li Tu.

Listening to Xue Yiming's talk about this, Li Tu beat a drum in his heart, and said: "Thank you Mr. Xue for your love, it's just a marriage matter, and we still have to think about it in the long run." ”

Xue Yiming saw Li Tu say this, Xue Yiming smiled, and also arched his hand and said: "The marriage major event really has to be considered in the long run, Brother Li only listened to the old man's words, and slowly thought about it in his heart." ”

After saying this, Xue Yiming returned to the middle of the crowd and continued to call the name of the next rewardee.

And they were all saved from the hands of the pirates, and received money, and they rejoiced. The so-called solidarity in the same boat refers to the spirit of fighting together in the same boat and sharing weal and woe. After this battle, invisibly, the trust between the people on the ship has increased.

Li Tu received a reward of one hundred and twenty taels of silver, returned to his cabin, and was about to rest for a while, but saw the white-haired old man who had just said something dejected climbed into the cabin.

"Hello second shop official, old man, I'm the shipwright Yuan Pin."

Li Tu nodded, not knowing what this old man was looking for him.

With a flattering face, the old man Yuan Pin said Kankan: "Congratulations to Brother Li on his promotion to the second shop, and he also won a reward of one hundred and twenty taels of silver." With more than 100 taels of silver, you can buy ten acres of paddy fields in Zhangzhou Mansion and build a few houses to get married! ”

After a pause, the old man said again: "The second shop was really heroic just now, killing in and out of the pirate group. Old man, I have been running the sea for more than 20 years, and I have followed so many owners, but it is the first time I have seen such a hero. The old man cowered and almost dragged the second shop back. ”

Seeing the old man praising himself, Li Tu nodded lightly and didn't say anything.

Touching the headscarf on his head, the old man said again: "It's just that this time I met Chen Shengning, it's really not good!" So who is Chen Shengning? Although there are more than 100 merchants and countless large and small ships in this Zhangzhou, when it comes to killing people without blinking, Chen Shengning is the most ruthless. Everyone else is good at trading, but this Chen Shengning is specialized in plundering, and he only robs other people's goods, which is an evil in Zhangzhou. ”

"Compared with ordinary people, our owner runs the sea and is already very rich. But on this sea, to be honest, the owner Xiao Guanren can only be regarded as a small maritime merchant, and anyone can bully. Old man, I'm really worried about Chen Shengning's revenge! When we return to Zhangzhou next year, Chen Shengning will definitely wait for us on the waterway! ”

"There are more than 100 people in Chen Shengning, and there are only more than 30 of us. The so-called two fists are difficult to match four hands, and heroes can't beat many people. When we return to Zhangzhou next year, how can we deal with them and find a way out? ”

Li Tu leaned against the bulkhead, crossed his hands over his chest, and did not speak.

Standing in front of the expressionless Li Tu, the old man Yuan Pin gradually became a little frightened, and asked flatteringly: "Second shop official, when you faced the enemy just now, you said that you have a way to deal with Chen Shengning, but you don't know what the way is, can you talk to the old man, so that I can be less afraid." ”

I don't know why, Li Tu hates this old man a little. Without answering his question, Li Tu just closed his eyes and said indifferently: "I naturally have a way, so you don't have to worry." ”

When the old man heard this, his face was a little embarrassed. Halfway through, he nodded and said, "I know, old man." ”

Without further ado, the old man Yuan Pin climbed back onto the terrace.
