Chapter 129: Allegiance
"Shipbuilding craftsmen, I have a few good people to recommend, at most half a month to arrive." Helian Sheng picked up a piece of pastry, fed it to Song Yao, and asked, "Don't you know some fishermen?" It would be fitting to be able to choose some of them to be sailors. ”
"I have this plan, but Haiwazi and the people in their village, there will not be many people willing to go to the sea, and there must be not enough manpower." Song Yao pondered for a moment and said: "It will take at least two years from shipbuilding, drying the ship, to sea trials and going to sea, but there is plenty of time to find sailors and other candidates." Only the captain of the ship, if you do not meet the right person, it is difficult to train in a theoretical way. ”
"You've put some effort into Caoyun." Helian Sheng chuckled.
These things will not be known unless they are truly understood.
"I want to make money, I want to have the opportunity to go overseas, but the premise of all this is based on safety, not human life to explore experience." Song Yao sighed lightly and said: "It is I who have learned about it, and I know the danger of going to sea, if I can't do my best to provide safety and security for the crew, even if someone is willing to go out of the ship, it will be difficult to do things for us wholeheartedly, and it is even more difficult to ensure that things are done in the long run." ”
"If everyone in the world is like Song Niangzi, thinking about those who make a living everywhere, how can there be so many poor people who have bereavement, but are suppressed by real life and have no way to live?" Yun Zhongxiao's eyes fell on Song Yao, and he had another layer of cognition for Song Yao.
"That's because I've experienced that life is not easy." Song Yao smiled lightly.
"I was passing by just now, and I heard you talk about shipbuilding, but you want to do a transportation business?" Mr. Rong Chuan walked from outside with his hands behind his back.
"Exactly, I don't know what Mr. thinks?" Song Yao asked with a smile.
Helian Sheng and Yun Zhongxiao nodded hello to Mr. Rong Chuan respectively.
A few people sat at the round table, but they did not have to talk about the main seat, so they did not have to get up and give up their seats.
Mr. Rong Chuan sat in the closest position to the door, and then replied: "At the south gate of Yunzhou City, going out of the city to the southwest, about a hundred and ten miles away, there is a small village at the foot of the mountain, where dozens of families live, all of whom used to be descendants of the crew who went out of the ship. After going through some things, he stopped working on the sea and lived on a little bit of the foothills. Although they have not been at sea for more than ten years, their experience is a rare good hand among the sailors of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and there are two families with ancestral shipbuilding skills. ”
"Sir, maybe you are more detailed? What happened to these people? Song Yao asked.
"Are you going to do the Caoyun business, if you want to know, just inquire yourself, are the two of them decorations?" Mr. Rong Chuan glared, glanced at Helian Sheng and Yun Zhongxiao, and said to Song Yao: "Girl, you have to learn to know people and make good use of them, these two guys have a lot of available manpower, don't waste resources." ”
The corners of Song Yao's mouth twitched, her eyes looked between the three of them, suppressed the doubts in her heart, and said taughtly: "Thank you Mr. for your advice, Song Yao will definitely know how to make good use of others." ”
Seeing Song Yao's expression, Helian Sheng and Yun Zhongxiao glanced at each other, and always felt that Song Yao seemed to be really enlightened, and he would not let them have a good time in the future.
"Can I withdraw my shares?" Helian Sheng and Yun Zhongxiao asked in unison.
"Do you think you can get off the thief ship? Hey. Song Yao laughed, and waved her jade hand: "Brothers, following my sister will definitely benefit you immensely, and when you want to withdraw your shares when you divide the silver, your sister will definitely not stop you." ”
This time it was Mr. Rong Chuan's turn to twitch the corners of his mouth, looking at Song Yao's posture of the eldest sister, and silently mourning for the two apprentices in his heart.
"The old man is still going to find the boy! You have something to do, talk slowly. "Mr. Rong Chuan smeared oil on the soles of his feet, and he didn't want to be tempted by Song Yao with food to the bottom line, and he also became a little brother who mixed with 'sister'.
"I'll arrange for someone to check on the affairs of that village, one step ahead." Yun Zhongxiao got up elegantly, but left very quickly, not giving Song Yao a chance to eat.
"I'm not a man-eating tiger, why are I in such a hurry?" Song Yao pursed her lips, her eyes fell on He Liansheng, who was sitting there leisurely, and asked with a smile: "Didn't you shout just now that you wanted to withdraw your shares?" Why don't you run away? ”
"The heart is all with you, is it useful for people to run away?" Helian Sheng looked at Song Yao sadly, looking pitiful as if he had been eaten.
"Haha! It's useless, if you dare to run, I will dare to chase! Song Yao laughed loudly, she had no burden in her heart, and her smile was even brighter.
With the clues provided by Mr. Rong Chuan, Song Yao wanted to go to the village to see it in person.
It's just that a day later, the news that Yun Zhongxiao got back gave Song Yao a little headache.
Because this small village is not named, people from the outside world have become a backer village.
There are 56 families in the village, two of which have ancestral shipbuilding skills and were loyal to a single proprietor a few decades ago.
But because of the internal strife of that family, all of these 56 families had relatives buried in the vast sea.
Who knew that the young owner was unscrupulous, not only did not give any compensation to the family, but said that the shipbuilder cut corners, and the captain and crew did not follow the rules of the ship, resulting in the damage of the ship, but it was the compensation for the 56 families who went bankrupt.
Fifty-six families wanted to file a lawsuit, but they didn't have the ability to compete with the big families, so they had to take their bags all the way to this uninhabited place, living on a few acres of thin fields, and swore that they could not avenge their relatives and go to sea to beg for a living!
Although these dozens of families have been destitute for many years, no one has forgotten the original vow.
"It's really tricky, if you want these people to work for us, you have to help them avenge it. But it is so easy to bring down a big family! Song Yao said with a headache.
Yun Zhongxiao glanced at Helian Sheng, but said with a light smile: "With Lian Gongzi's ability, it is not difficult to bring down a big fortune family. ”
"Yun Gongzi thinks it's simple, you can do it." Helian Sheng snorted coldly.
Yun Zhongxiao was not annoyed, but continued: "If you can bring down this surnamed Cao, you can bring in those powerful people in their hands and add strength to the ocean business in the future." Moreover, the Cao family sells illicit salt, and the imperial court is willing to take it, and the treasury must be full. ”
Helian Sheng frowned and did not answer.
Song Yao looked at the two of them, knocked on the table and thought about it carefully, and agreed: "Yun Gongzi's words are very reasonable, whether it is public or private, we should intervene in this matter." However, doing good deeds without leaving a name is the superior means. ”
"Song Niangzi has an idea?" Yun Zhongxiao asked.
"I don't understand the situation, but you should all know the dynamics in the capital well, right?" Song Yao hooked her lips and smiled, and said badly: "Today, there is no more prince, and there are no wars and natural disasters, if you want to compete for the prince, you can only start in other aspects, rectify the luck, not only in the community, but also make a lot of money, this is a beautiful difference!" ”
"But as Song Niangzi said, but the sale of illicit salt has always involved a wide range of issues, but I am afraid that if the prince goes south in person, it may not be able to make the Cao family completely fall!" Loose in the clouds.
"If one prince can't do it, then bring two more." Song Yao smiled evilly: "The more people come from the capital, the more beneficial it will be for us." Maybe it's not just the Cao family that is involved this time, how many of those who do water business are clean? If you can cure a few, it will also benefit the people. ”
"Just do what Yaoyao wants." Helian Sheng raised his head and said: "This matter has been arranged by Young Master Lao Yun, and the matter over there will be handed over to us to deal with." ”
"Working with the two of you, I'll be exhausted sooner or later!" Yun Zhongxiao complained and got up to leave.
