The Huo family originated in Qingxiao Country and has now spread all over the mainland. The few ironclad ships in front of him are just a drop in the bucket compared to the shipping industry near Cloud City, compared to the entire Huo family's shipping.

"Whew......" Xu Hao gasped softly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes!

This gaze happened to be targeted by Zhou Zhe, which made him feel a chill down his spine, and the chill rushed to his brain, so he quickly closed his mouth.

"Why don't you speak?" After a moment, Xu Hao stared at him and said, "Tell me about this Jiujiang ship, they only have three ironclad ships at the dock of Liaocuo Town?"

"How is it possible!" Zhou Zhe shook his head and said loudly: "They have at least a dozen ironclad ships here, and dozens of small and medium-sized boats are the least, which can be regarded as the first ship on the Tuoluo River." The nine major rivers of Qingxiao Country have their shipping, so they are called Jiujiang shipping. But in fact, other major rivers also have their shadows. It is difficult to count exactly how many ships there are. ”

Xu Hao's brows furrowed even more after hearing this, he had already estimated the strength of the Huo family, but in fact, he saw that the impact on his heart was completely different. You must know that shipping is just one of the Huo family's industries.

And this was the country that my father helped to lay down back then......

Compared with the other party, the Jin Medical Business Group can only be regarded as ants compared to it, and the difference is too big to be compared at all.

"By the way, where is the Luojiang ship?" Xu Hao asked softly, looking around, there were many ships of all sizes, flags, and many names.

"There. Zhou Zhe pointed to the northeast. On the dockside, an ironclad merchant ship is docked. At the same time, there are a large number of small and medium-sized ships.

Although the scale is not as good as Jiujiang shipping, it has begun to take shape, and it is quite decent.

"This-" Xu Hao's eyes widened, how long had it been since his father had been out of the mountains and set up a ship?

"Brother Xu?" Zhou Zhe looked at him in shock, thinking that he was worried that he would not be able to apply for the position.

"Don't worry, there is no problem in applying for a guard based on your ability, at least one golden bean a month. Don't say that you know how to martial arts, you must know that in addition to martial artists, even ordinary strong men will be recruited, as long as you can do two strokes, Kong Wu is powerful. When the time comes, take the bow, crossbow and gun, and the combat effectiveness is also not small under the large number of people. ”

"Let's go over and see. Xu Hao walked forward and went straight to the Luojiang River, which was his own industry, but it was the first time he came, and his heart was full of joy and expectation.

Coolies on the bow of the ship carried sacks and were unloading in an orderly manner.

There was a courtyard on the edge of the town opposite, and flags were erected in the courtyard, embroidered with mountains with twin peaks, surrounded by light clouds.

Xu Hao could see at a glance that it was Ergong Mountain, and as the belief of the people in the village, his father could obviously understand that he used it as a banner.

The entrance is very lively, there are foremen settling wages, and there are also people recruiting, and the new shipping is even more scarce than the old ones.

Xu Hao took Zhou Zhe to step forward, this guy was looking forward to it more than others, looking at the flow of people queuing up to sign up, he hurriedly walked over without saying a word, for fear of taking a step at night.

"The monthly salary of the recruitment account office is thirty-five silver beans! This salary is not low!" Zhou Zhe looked at Xu Hao behind him excitedly, obviously, he saw the recruitment notice on the side.

Luojiang Shipping recruits all kinds of positions at a high price, and the account office is second only to the treasurer, steward, captain and warrior. In terms of treatment, it can be ranked second in line.

Unfortunately, the higher the price, the more applicants.

It can be seen from the long queue in front of Zhou Zhe that it is estimated that there will never be less than dozens of applicants for the position in the accounting office, and the dress is much more decent than him.

Even the worst ones won't have patches on them, and many of them have considerable industry experience.

Looking out, there were three examiners sitting in front of the ordinary table, and those who seemed to be satisfied with the employer stood by and continued to wait, and those who were not satisfied were ordered to leave.

"Boom Boom ......"

Xu realized his shortcomings, and the closer he got to the front, the more nervous Zhou Zhe became, and even trembled slightly.

That look is really pitiful.

Xu Hao looked at Zhou Zhe, who was both nervous and excited, and sighed helplessly, no way, this guy is the youngest in the crowd and is very inexperienced.

"I'll go up and give this to them later. He took out the bronze medal from his arms, stretched out his hand and handed it to Zhou Zhe, only to see that the big word "Xu" on it was clear to the eye, and the moire carving around it was very special and exquisite.

"What is this?" Zhou Zhe was dazed, took the bronze medal, holding this thing at a loss.

Xu Hao smiled and didn't explain, but patted him on the shoulder and said, "Just listen to me, I'll give this to them later." ”

It was Zhou Zhe's turn to step forward after half an hour, and in front of the recruitment table, the three middle-aged men were already a little tired, and the long-bearded man in the center squinted at Zhou Zhe, he couldn't get on the table in his clothes, and his face didn't change but he frowned slightly.

"Name. ”

"Ahh

Looking at his appearance, the middle-aged man with a long beard in the middle despised him more and more.

"Where?"

"Locals, who used to live in Cloudsdale. ”

"Literacy?"

"Literacy! When I was a child, I went to private school for a few years. ”

"Do you have any experience?" Although the middle-aged man was impatient, he was also dutiful, and asked Zhou Zhe's basic information clearly.

After a moment, he nodded, waved his hand, and said, "Okay, you can go." ”

The other party actually directly issued an eviction order! Zhou Zhe saw it just now, those who proudly stayed next to him should be the guys who were favored and valued by the employer, and they stayed, I'm afraid they were waiting for further arrangements.

Only those who are not favored will be ordered to leave.

In an instant, his heart was like a hot fire being extinguished by cold water! The whole person withered, and tears quietly swirled. Only then did he remember Xu Hao's words.

As soon as he was about to leave, he immediately turned around and squeezed through the line to come back to the middle-aged man.

"Huh?" The middle-aged man with a long beard frowned, he was not optimistic about this guy, he was too young and inexperienced, the boat company needed someone who was easy to use, this kind of stunned youth needed to be cultivated with great effort, and in the case of uncertain character, the loyalty in the future was not necessarily. In case of changing jobs, you will lose all your money and be busy in vain.

"Didn't you wait for news, why did you come back again?"

"That, that ......" Zhou Zhe's face turned red, swallowed his saliva hard, and gritted his teeth in response: "Just now one of my eldest brothers asked me to give this to you." ”

As he spoke, he handed the bronze medal that Xu Hao handed over to him from his bosom to the other party.
