Chapter 58 Appointments

That night, Ren Siqi rested at the house of the patriarch Ren Jizu for one night, but everyone on the boat did not get off the boat under the constraints of Sima Nan and Cao Changjiang. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Early the next morning, Ren Siqi returned to the ship, and he had to arrange the future.

"Owner," Cao Changjiang said to Ren Siqi, and now everyone on the ship has changed their words to call Ren Siqi the owner, and they no longer scream about showing off their talents.

"Owner, there are a few brothers who want to go back to their hometown to see." Cao Changjiang Road.

Some of the Han people who have returned from Luzon still have relatives in their hometowns, and they are homesick and timid, so it is natural for them to go home to see.

"Okay, let's go back and see, anyway, we can't go to sea again until the monsoon arrives next year. But everyone remember to come back, the ship is inseparable from everyone. Ren Siqi said briskly.

The brothers went home, of course, they couldn't go back empty-handed, Ren Siqi gave each person ten taels of silver for the journey, although he wanted to send more money, but considering that there were only more than three thousand taels of silver on the ship, and it would be used for the next time he went to sea to buy goods, so he could only do so.

As a result, seven of the fifteen Han Chinese who returned from Luzon returned to their hometowns, and the remaining eight, including Cao Changjiang, Chen Sheng, and Jin Yufei, were all slaughtered by the Spaniards in Luzon, and they did not want to go back because they had no immediate family members in their hometowns.

There were a lot fewer people on the ship all of a sudden, and now it was difficult to even operate the sails normally, so Ren Siqi had no choice but to start the idea of Renjiawan folks. Most of the fishermen in Renjiawan make a living from fishing, and the more than 100 acres of mountainous land between the river valleys are not enough for the villagers to chew. Everyone knows that going to sea can make a lot of money, but not everyone has the opportunity to go on board to be a seaman, more people go to sea to be pirates, robbing for a living, not to mention the bitter life, and their lives are always in danger. Now there is an opportunity to go to sea and make a lot of money, and many young people are excited.

In fact, the Chinese nation is not a nation that is afraid of the ocean, from ancient times to the present, there are countless coastal people running to the ocean, in order to make money, in order to live a better life, from the South Seas of Champa, Bo Ni, Java, Malacca, to the North Ocean of the Japanese Republic of Korea, there are their footprints everywhere, the Ming Dynasty has banned the sea many times, and the coastal people can not get rid of the heart of the coastal people who run to the sea.

Take Renjiawan as an example, there are many people in the village who go to sea, but most of them go to sea as pirates, and Ren Jizu can't manage too much even if he is the patriarch, after all, for the villagers, survival is the most important, and the output of the hundreds of acres of barren fields in the village cannot sustain everyone's survival.

After getting the consent of the patriarch Ren Jizu, Ren Siqi selected twenty-five young fishermen from the village, so that the personnel of the "Flying Fish" were replenished, and with these twenty-five villagers, Ren Siqi no longer had to worry about not being able to completely control the "Flying Fish", and was no longer afraid of people on the ship such as Cao Changjiang and Sima Nan having different thoughts.

After replenishing the personnel, Ren Siqi announced the appointment of the ship's position, appointing Sima Nan as the fire chief, as his deputy, mainly responsible for the ship's navigation.

Appointed the Dutchman Olier as Aban, responsible for managing all the sailors and responsible for raising and lowering the sails of the sailing ship, after all, the "Flying Fish" is a Dutch ship, and the sailing is much more troublesome than the Chinese fortune ship.

Anthony was appointed as Olier's deputy, as Olier's translator and monitor Oliel and other Dutchmen, Anthony also had an important task, which was to teach Oliel Shabila Monroe and the three Dutchmen to learn Chinese as soon as possible.

Cao Changjiang was appointed as the treasurer, responsible for the management of various items such as weapons on the ship.

Ren Xingfan, a villager from Renjiawan, was appointed as the deputy of finance, responsible for bookkeeping and managing the cargo on board, Ren Xingfan studied in private school for several years, took the Tongsheng exam twice, and didn't even pass the county exam, but there is no problem with literacy and arithmetic.

The Dutchman Monroe was appointed as the commander of the gun, and Ren Jiawan was appointed as the deputy of Likun.

Chen Sheng was appointed as the leader of the stormtrooper, and Jin Yufei was the deputy, in charge of hand-to-hand combat.

The Dutchman Shabila was appointed as the captain of the musket, and the fishermen of Renjiawan were appointed as the security deputies.

After a series of appointments, Ren Siqi initially established the "Flying Fish" system, of course, the specific position still needs to be adjusted according to the training situation and the future sea.

"Olier, you need to learn the Ming language as soon as possible, so that you can better communicate with others." Ren Siqi passes Anthony Road.

"Oh, God, the language of your Ming people is too difficult to learn, but it's okay that I will work hard to learn, I believe that soon we will be able to communicate in Ming dialect." Olier Road.

"Mr. Xiucai, will you really let us go back in five years?" Sergeant Shabila asked.

"Of course, I will not only let you go back, but I will also give each of you a large sum of money so that each of you can live the life of a rich man." Ren Siqi assured: "But you need to work for me with all your heart and soul in these five years, teaching the crew all kinds of seamanship skills, and if you perform well, I will consider shortening your service or increasing your salary, and if you do not perform well, I will extend your service." Five years is enough time for every crew member to learn to operate the Dutch ship, and Ren Siqi will not break his promise.

"I pledge in the honor of a knight that I will serve well on this ship." Sergeant Shabila patted his chest and reassured, "But how much is a lot of money?" ”

"At least 10,000 eagles, 10,000 for each of you, if you make meritorious service, there will be more rewards." Ren Siqi said. 10,000 Yingyang is only six or seven thousand taels of silver, in exchange for an experienced Dutchman to serve for five years, how to see how to earn. The three Dutchmen had their own specialties, Olier was the former first mate of the "Shark" and was proficient in navigation, while Sabila had served in the Dutch Army and was proficient in musket battles, and he was said to repair muskets; Monroe, on the other hand, was born as an artilleryman, and the artillerymen in these years were not only able to use artillery, but also to repair artillery and even build artillery. So the three Dutchmen are rare talents for the current Ren Siqi.

"God, ten thousand eagles! Dear Xiucai master, you have gained the loyalty of a knight, and I will do my best to serve you. Shabila jumped for joy, 10,000 eagles was a huge sum of money that he couldn't even imagine.

"Forget it, Shabirla, you are a broken fisherman, what kind of knight are you, I am the real knight family." Monroe scoffed.

"Nonsense, my grandfather's grandfather was a glorious knight." Shabila said angrily.

Ren Siqi didn't want to pay attention to the internal tearing of the Dutch, and left with a smile.

After arranging the affairs on the ship, Ren Siqi once again asked the patriarch Ren Jizu to take care of the ship, and then took Xiong Er, Jin Yufei, cousin Ren Xingfan, Ren Dongming and others to leave Renjiawan and go to Yin County.
