In the end, the Sarcastic Ghost picked a total of forty ghost slaves in the slave market, and just spent all the 3,000 Yin Yuan I gave him.

Among them, most of the ghost slaves are of the rank of green ghosts, and their grievances are considered to be above average among the ghosts, which is enough to be competent for the work of sailors on the ship. There are also two big, resentful, each of which costs more than three hundred Yin Yuan.

But at the same time, the sarcastic ghost actually deliberately chose a gray ghost that seemed to be thin but clever and eye-catching, and it only cost fifteen yin yuan. I resisted my curiosity, and never went up to interfere with the sarcastic ghost, presumably it had a set of criteria in mind.

After leaving the slave market, the sarcastic ghost said to me: "Although it is enough to buy thirty according to the original plan, since we have only come to the Giant Waterfall City with great difficulty, it is okay to buy a few more for backup." When they go back, they will be trained, and those who perform poorly will be sold, and those who perform well will stay. ”

I nodded and said, "Since you are so confident and organized, I will continue to give you full responsibility for the task of training ghost slaves!" ”

"No problem!"

According to the suggestion of the sarcastic ghosts, in order to increase the enthusiasm of these ghost slaves, I signed a new deed of sale with all the ghost slaves I bought.

It is said to be a deed of sale, but it is actually a work contract. As long as these ghost slaves can successfully pass the training and become a qualified ghost sailor, they can receive a part of the basic salary every month and enjoy some of the most basic benefits. It's much better than just being a slave.

In addition, I have detailed rules of reward and punishment, the most important of which is the promise that as long as these ghost slaves have served on the ship for five years and performed well, they will be freed from slavery and become free ghosts. If you are willing to continue to work, you can receive the full salary!

As soon as these measures and regulations were announced, those ghost slaves all cheered, and they were all grateful and full of energy. In the next training, all the ghost slaves went all out and competed to perform, for fear of being eliminated by the mocking ghosts because of poor grades or mistakes.

Since I have given the task of managing and training these ghost slaves to the Mockery, I have simply appointed him as the boatswain of the Victory. Although the level of resentment is not high, the sarcastic ghost knows a lot, does things seriously, and dares to manage boldly. I think it's very harsh in reprimanding those ghost slaves who make mistakes, as if he was born to be a sailor instructor and manage these ghost slaves under his command well.

I was so pleased with the sarcasm's management skills that I asked where he had learned this knowledge.

ridiculed the ghosts, and only casually prevaricated that he had actually been a soldier for two years and had also fought. But when I asked it when it was a soldier and what battles it fought, it refused to say, and laughed at itself as a ragtag army and a "two-spear soldier".

"Oh, that's all about the old yellow calendar, there's nothing to brag about, boss, don't ask!" Mocking ghosts.

I have heard some old ghosts born in the Republic of China mention the origin of the "double spear soldiers", saying that some early warlord troops generally had to carry two guns when they were fighting, one was a rifle and the other was a smoking gun. When you fight, you use a rifle, and when you don't fight, you smoke a lot.

At the same time, due to the complex sources of the weapons they used at that time, including imported and domestically produced, and made in any country, they can be called "Wanguo brand", and even military uniforms are improvised, and there is no unified logo. Therefore, such an army is also nicknamed a "ragtag army".

Such a soldier is said to be a soldier, but in fact it is not much different from bandits, and he usually does bad things that bully the people, and he is a "bandit soldier" in the old society.

I didn't want to say it when I saw that the sarcastic ghost was dead or alive, and I guess it was also a piece of black history, so I didn't ask any more.

It took me and the sarcastic ghost to complete the task of recruiting sailors after twists and turns, but Liu Han and the bookworm ghost on the other side successfully completed the task of "market research". In addition, Liu Han really bought back a lot of new gadgets, some to eat, some to wear, and of course, some practical tools.

I asked her curiously, "How did you buy so many things and come back?" ”

Liu Han glanced at me and said, "If you don't buy something, people are willing to tell you the truth?" ”

The bookworm ghost next to him also nodded in agreement, and said, "The boss lady is right, she didn't spend much money, but she heard a lot of information." In addition, we have made agreements with several trading houses to order some of the specialties from the Ghost Forest with us. ”

"Wow! Yes! I just went out to walk around the street for a while, and I made a few big deals! I laughed.

"That's it! Don't think you know how to do business, I also have a good business acumen! Liu Han said proudly.

Well, it seems that this trip to Giant Waterfall City is really worth it, and I have completed two major tasks in one day, and I have also received a few orders of business by the way. This gave me a great start to my new business plan!

When the Victory set off and returned from Giant Waterfall, the ship was much more lively than when it came. Every morning, the mocking ghost always gathers all the ghost slaves and speaks them by name on the deck. Forty ghost slaves almost filled the entire deck, and it was black.

In order to be uniform, the sarcastic ghost also used Liu Han as a few pieces of fabric bought as a supplement to come in handy, asked the scissor ghost to be a tailor, and made a "standard" vest for each ghost slave. These vests distinguish different posts according to different colors, just like the different branches of the army, which is intuitive and straightforward.

Among the newly recruited ghost slaves, the lowest-ranking gray ghost, "Big Eyes", was placed on the top of the mast by the mocker to act as a lookout. The Mockery chose it because it has a special skill that makes it ideal for being a lookout. The big eyes have a pair of eyeballs that can be retracted at will, and when they bulge, they are like a pair of goldfish eyes, like a telescope, and the multiplier is adjusted according to the distance and distance, and it even has its own "night vision" function. It's simply a natural "clairvoyant"!

The other two highest-ranking, "Iron Head" and "Water Demon", were placed on the deck and bottom of the ship, respectively, as the upper and lower squad leaders.

Iron Head is a former ghost gang leader who made mistakes, and it is common for him to fight and fight with other gangs. In view of the possibility of encountering pirates while running the ship in the future, it is most appropriate to arrange for it to lead the ghost sailors on the deck to act as a vanguard to fight the enemy head-on.

The water demon is a water ghost, listening to its own explanation, it turns out that in the yang world, it has also done a lot of immoral things that drag people into the water to drown. But in order to get out of slavery, it has sworn to me that it will not do such a murderous thing again, unless the other party is an enemy of the Victory. The sarcastic ghost placed the water demon at the bottom of the ship, naturally hoping to use its excellent water ability to fight underwater and repel the water thieves who swam underwater.

The other ordinary green ghosts were also ridiculed and positioned according to their own characteristics and strengths, and they were all properly arranged, so I didn't need to worry about it at all. After twenty days of training on the return trip, these ghost slaves have basically mastered the most basic sailor skills and can officially take up their posts.

Although the sarcastic ghost still eliminated a few ghost slaves who were not capable enough, I didn't plan to sell them, but brought them back to the fishing village together. After all, I still have a noodle shop and a field of purple wheat there, so I don't have to worry about having a place to house these laborers.

Back in the fishing village, Wang Shou and the others were also very happy that many of the same kind had suddenly been added to the village. And for the villagers, the stronger my strength, the safer the fishing village will be.

However, in order to accommodate the dozens of new ghost slaves, I had to build a few new rooms. In addition to building a dormitory for ghost slaves and a warehouse for storing goods, the noodle shop had to be rebuilt on the shore, so it could not continue to operate on the ship.

There are many people, and there is great power, and there are many ghosts. Doing this kind of menial work, now I have human hands, no, ghost hands. As soon as I told me about the plan, the sarcastic ghost consciously led his ghost slaves to cut wood in the woods outside the village. The construction of the house was also designed and supervised by itself, and I only needed to come forward again to ask Wang Shou to recruit skilled carpenters to help and pay enough wages.

Even, in order to please me, the sarcastic ghost also built a big house in the village for me and Liu Han as a love nest. That way, we don't have to sleep on a rickety boat every day.

Repairing ships, building houses, and recruiting sailors, these big projects have already cost me tens of thousands of Yin Yuan in savings. However, these are essential expenses, and even so, I still have 18,000 Yin Yuan in my hand, which is absolutely enough to use as start-up capital for the purchase of special products.

After another three months, repairing ships and recruiting sailors, I was finally able to officially start my new business plan. The main business is to purchase the specialties brought out by various expeditions from the ghost eating forest and the seafood caught by the fishermen from the Stygian Sea.

The expeditions I have worked with are happy to trade with me. In the past, they rarely came over, and they always had to worry that too much and too heavy harvest could not be transported back to the Great Yin City to sell, so they had to give up some things that were not of high value or difficult to transport. Now they have a second option, they can dispose of some of the harvest that is inconvenient to bring back and sell it to me in advance, and at the same time save a lot of shipping, wouldn't it be cost-effective?

The villagers in the fishing village are also my customers. They go out to sea every day to catch fish, and when they can't finish eating and selling, they make all kinds of dry goods. But because the location of the fishing village is too remote, the villagers have been worried about the problem of sales. Now it's fine, they can sell me all the dry goods, and I can transfer and sell them elsewhere to make the difference.

Of course, they are all villagers who live in the same village, and I will not take advantage of them, and always try to give a reasonable purchase price so that both parties can make money. I am not a profiteer, and a mutually beneficial business can be done for a long time.
