After listening to Qiao Mu's description, the old village chief was shocked at first, and then realized the benefits that those things could bring to them after they were realized.

It is normal for people to chase fame and fortune and have the heart to plan for their children and grandchildren, if they are really involved in something for the country and the people here, then they can barely persuade themselves to stay here without regrets, but in fact, they have nothing to do here, they are just raised by the Hou Mansion, and they have nothing to do here, and they have nothing to do here, exercise their bodies and skills.

Wen Qi hadn't let them do anything since they were connected to the forces, and many businesses such as assassination and information gathering were already rusty, not to mention that their grandsons didn't understand, sometimes it was their sons, and even they themselves had some doubts, doubting whether their original choice was right or wrong.

Now, the old lady's words are not too attractive, but as long as one or two things can be realized, then they, and even their children and grandchildren, should be satisfied.

However, although the old village chief was excited, he did not forget the old master, so he quickly turned his head and shouted, beckoned a young man to come over, and asked him to push the little marquis into the house to rest, and then asked:

"Old lady, I don't know what to hide from the little marquis, can I say it now?"

"It's not that I deliberately hid it from him, it's just that his mouth is really not strict, some time ago I went out to get drunk and almost caused a big incident, what I want to say is quite important, and I have to hide it from others, so naturally I can't let him know, the family has spent too much money in the past ten years, so, I want to do maritime trade business, but also to leave some assets for future generations, if I can occupy some territory overseas, no matter how big, even if there are one or two small islands, it is also a back road, I have not found the right person to preside over this matter, think about it, Only you have the ability and can be trusted. ”

Qiao Mu had no other better choice than to trust them at this time, after all, she was now an ordinary woman's family, and she didn't have any real hands in her hands, even if she wanted to cultivate temporarily, it would take seven or eight years to be useful, so naturally she could only try to trust their loyalty.

However, it is obviously impossible for Qiao Mu to put all his eggs in one basket, and she entrusts them to help preside over the affairs of the sea trade, and she herself must also start training people, and it is estimated that it will take three or five years to draw the sea charts on the sea trade side, so she can catch up.

"Haimao? The old lady is going to take the sea route.

However, none of us are sailors, and we don't know anything about maritime trade, and even many of us are seasick, so we may not be of much help to this, and at most we can only help you add a few sailors and do some hard work. ”

The old village chief was stunned, most of the current villagers in their village are landlubbers, and many of them have never seen the sea in their lives, even the big rivers and lakes, so it is obviously not a good idea to let them participate in the sea trade.

"You can rest assured, professional things must be handed over to professional people, sailors and the like will directly hire fishermen, depending on the direction or something, they will also hire corresponding personnel, I just lack enough trust to manage them, understand?"

Qiao Mu is not stupid, how can he let people from the inland become sailors or something, many people related to maritime trade can be found in the villages near the sea, even if there is no nearby, then it can definitely be found in a few big cities on the side.

What she lacks is a manager, what she lacks is a loyal enough manager, after all, she can't directly hand over to the recruited sailors, and she needs a middleman who helps her manage the sea trade personnel and is directly responsible for her.

"You can rest assured, we are definitely worthy of your trust, but how to screen it?"

The old village chief obviously didn't think that the matter of Haimao was very reliable, he was more concerned about the things Qiao Mu mentioned earlier, so he hurriedly asked.

"Specifically, I will send someone to bring special test questions to you for evaluation, if there is a martial arts qualification, of course, it must be preferred, and the rest depends on the situation, all of them are voluntary. However, if you are willing to participate in the affairs of maritime trade and be a manager, I can give an annual salary of one hundred and twenty-one years, and when I look back, this annual salary can still be increased, and even a little bit of the profits of maritime trade can be given. ”

Qiao Mu knows very well that sailing overseas is not safer than being a soldier, and may even be more dangerous than being a soldier, so he can only be tempted, hoping to attract a little people with a high annual salary.

At this moment, the old village chief can be regarded as a little interested in this matter, although their village can get 10,000 taels of funding from the Hou Mansion every year, but the population of their village is now over 500, and the average person can only get 20 taels, and this money has to be used to repair and make various armaments, plus the training of martial arts is already quite expensive, so in fact, their village is still quite poor, and most of the money is spent on buying meat and medicinal materials, after all, if there is not enough meat and medicinal materials to eat in martial arts, That's not practicing martial arts, it's wasting your life.

An annual salary of one hundred taels is really a lot.

"I haven't done a good job of the test questions, today I just came over to take a look, you go back and tell the people in the village about the specific situation, and I will send someone to bring the test questions over in two days, and after the test, I may send a few more gentlemen to teach cultural knowledge, and you can't be lazy at that time, although martial arts are mainly compared to martial arts, but you also need to know some knowledge of the art of war, and you have to study it seriously."

It's not getting early, so I'll have to go back first. ”

Qiao Mu told the details, looked up at the sun again, and said that it was not early, and she was leaving, after speaking, she ignored the warm invitation of the old village chief to stay, and insisted on pushing Wen Qilian's wheelchair back alone.

As long as the matter is explained, there is no need to stay here for any longer, and she has to go back and come up with some psychological tests related to loyalty and fear of the sea, and see if she can pick some good people from this group.

In the absence of long-term monitoring and observation, although the results of the test questions cannot be guaranteed to be 100% accurate, there is still an accuracy rate of 890%.

After going back, Qiao Mu was happy, and felt a little embarrassed to take away his son's manpower, plus he knew that her son was a bit of a wealth obsesser, so that night, he sent someone to send him a set of cornucopias, which was the kind of cornucopia planted in the penguin farm, and the basin alone was made of fifty catties of pure gold, not to mention that there were a bunch of gems and ingots in the pot.
