"Hello, Mr. Liu Heima, I am Zhao Qi, this is Wu Min, we are businessmen of Heishui Commercial Bank." Zhao Qi hurriedly opened his mouth to introduce himself.

"Don't be a gentleman, don't be a gentleman, you can call me Lao Liu or Lao Hei." Liu Heima hurriedly said, although he is a Persian, he is already very familiar with the language of the Han Dynasty, especially for more than a year, they have been dealing with the Han people every day, so their Han official language will be learned so quickly, and even many times Persian is rarely spoken in their village.

Because they can't use it, and at the same time, everyone must learn the official dialect of the Han Dynasty as soon as possible, so they all use the Han to communicate, and the speed of learning is naturally fast, which is specifically for them to eradicate illiteracy and popularize the patrol to tell them.

"Then I'll call you Lao Liu." Zhao Qi paused for a moment, but did not insist, he knew that it was easier to talk to these people in an environment that the other party was more familiar with, and the language environment was also a kind of environment.

"Lao Liu, I heard that you are the best sailor in the area, so I came to invite you this time." Zhao Qi said seriously.

"Huh? Mariner...... I'm not a sailor, I'm just a fisherman. Liu Heima said with some embarrassment, of course he knew what the sailor meant, but the officials of those ports had been talking about these issues, but he didn't expect him to be called that one day.

"No, an experienced fisherman is more important than a sailor, our trading house is about to buy a merchant ship, I don't know if Lao Liu, do you have the idea of becoming a sailor?" Zhao Qi said seriously.

"This ...... I really haven't done any of these jobs. Liu Heima hesitated for a moment and said, Zhao Qi's words made him a little moved, and the reason why he was moved was because the situation here had changed recently.

First of all, there are more and more Han people here, and with the continuous increase in construction of the Han Dynasty, there is more and more grain here, and there are a large number of jobs in the entire Zizhulin Port, most of the people in their village have gone to work, according to their wages, their monthly wages are more than what Liu Heima fishes and sells.

Although Liu Heima sells a lot of fish every time, he can't go out to fish every day, and if he wants to catch some delicious fish, he has to go to the deep sea, which is more dangerous.

The sea has nurtured them, but it has also consumed the lives of countless people in their villages.

Now that there are safer jobs, better food and better food, who wants to venture out into the ocean?

But Liu Heima has never go, because he has been struggling on the ocean all his life, he can't get rid of this guy, and he is almost forty years old this year, and he has passed the most prime grade of a person, if he wants to work, he will not earn as much as those young people.

Of course, he believed that with his experience in the ocean, he could find a job that suited him and earn a lot of money, but he ...... It is always inseparable from this piece of sea.

Many of the people in the village who stayed to fish were in a similar situation, but now they don't need to go to the deep sea to fish, they used to fish often to the deep sea, because they need to catch some rare fish before they can sell them in exchange for some other living goods.

Although the sea is rich in supplies to keep them alive, they need more than just food to survive.

In the past, marine fish could not be sold for money at all, because transportation was a huge problem, which is also the reason for their poor living conditions.

Now that Zhao Qi proposed to hire him, Liu Heima was naturally moved, this was the first person who took the initiative to look for him and wanted to hire him, and he was also working on the ocean, and the most important thing was that the other party was about to have merchant ships, and those merchant ships were larger than their fishing boats, and they were naturally safer.

He had seen the merchant ships of the Persians.

"Lao Liu, I said that you can do it, naturally you can do it, in this way, do you want to listen to the salary we give you, you come to me, I will arrange a boatswain position for you, with a monthly salary of 20 yuan!" And give 50 yuan settling-in allowance, and all salaries are paid in one lump sum for six months, in advance. Zhao Qi said seriously.

Hearing Zhao Qi's words, Liu Heima's whole person was stunned, 20 yuan? ! The highest salary in their village is only 9 yuan! But even so, 9 yuan is enough for a family of five to live very well every month, not only has enough food, but also can eat meat, but not fish, they have long been tired of eating fish.

What they want to eat is lamb, pork, beef, chicken, and so on.

And they can also eat big white steamed buns made of white flour, which is an unprecedented situation, not only that, they can buy refined salt, they can buy a lot of beautiful clothes, etc., and some people in the village are ready to save money for themselves, ready to buy a house in the future Zizhulin Port.

It is said that such houses are easy to live in, and there is glass! It's just that this house is a bit expensive, and it takes 50 yuan to buy a set, but if he agrees, then plus the settling-in fee, he can buy a set immediately!

He had gone to see the renderings of those houses, and they were so beautiful, not only a two-story building, but also a small yard, and there was a place for planting some small vegetables and trees in the yard. The streets are lined with trees, and they are all hardened.

That kind of city is so beautiful, and the house is all glass, and the house has a set of houses that have been made, they call it a model house, and the house is so beautiful, especially in the room, because there is glass, it is nameless and bright, and the house has undergone special treatment and is not damp at all.

I don't know how many times better than what they live in now.

After reading it, Liu Heima never forgot that several children in his family wanted to live in such a new house.

But he still has to ask clearly, "This...... This shopkeeper, what you say is true? Liu Heima asked quickly.

"Of course it's true, these things of ours have to be registered with the Ministry of Civil Security, and all the hired personnel have the guarantee of our Han government, and it is absolutely impossible to tell lies." Zhao Qi hurriedly spoke.

"That'...... So what exactly are we going to do? Liu Heima's asked again.

"We are a commercial firm, of course we are doing business, but we lack people who are familiar with life at sea, so we invite Lao Liu, how about it? Think about it, if you say yes, the money will be available today. Zhao Qi said quickly.

"This ...... If it's true, then I'll say yes. Liu Heima said decisively.

"That's great, you're welcome to join us." Zhao Qi directly stretched out his hand.

Liu Heima was a little embarrassed to stretch out his hand and shake Zhao Qi's hand, and Zhao Qi did not hesitate to take Liu Heima directly to the Civil Security Department of Zizhulin Port, and then signed a contract with him.

If a dispute arises, it is the Patrol Division that is currently being resolved.

And it is precisely because of this system that when many businesses sign a contract with the Ministry of Civil Security when hiring people, they will immediately get the support of employees, and it is easier to recruit enough people.

On the contrary, it is not so easy for some people who only recruit temporary workers.

Although he has not joined Dahan for a long time, Liu Heima knows all these things that are closely related to him. After signing the contract, Zhao Qi directly asked Wu Min to hand over the 50 yuan settling-in fee plus 120 yuan for six months to Liu Heima.

And Liu Heima, who got this huge amount of money, almost covered his clothes and ran back to his home, and Zhao Qi simply lent him a horse directly, asking him to come to the city to gather here tomorrow, and let Liu Heima say hello to all the other fishermen in his village, if he thinks that these fishermen's skills are good, Zhao Qi will want it.

And give them a salary of 12 yuan a month plus a settling-in allowance of 50 yuan.

Hearing this condition, Liu Heima immediately patted his chest and promised that he promised to recruit the remaining thirteen fishermen in their village, and he also said that the dozen or so fishermen in the village were all relatively skilled.

Zhao Qi doesn't dislike a lot of people now, so he uses as much as he wants.

After dealing with Liu Heima's affairs, it will be more convenient for Zhao Qi and them to go to other villages to talk about things next, because Liu Heima's is very famous in this neighborhood, and with him as an example, it will be much easier to recruit people later.

Just like Zhao Qi thought, the next day, Liu Heima had already brought the rest of the people in their village, not only that, but even brought a few more people from the neighboring villages, all of these people Zhao Qi directly accepted, according to the conditions he said, without even asking too much.

For Zhao Qi's trust in this, Liu Heima immediately showed enough gratitude, he is a very real person, otherwise he would not have such a high prestige, and Zhao Qi gave Liu Heima a new task, that is, he will continue to recruit people, as many as he wants, of course, the technology must be excellent.

In addition, Zhao Qi also inquired from Liu Heima to buy a few large fishing boats, these fishing boats can probably accommodate more than 20 people working on them, and the fishing boats in this era are purely human work, so the volume is not small at all.

Zhao Qi hadn't forgotten that he now had two merchant ships, and the manpower needed was naturally not a small number.

Regarding the things that Zhao Qi explained, Liu Heima thought that it was the first task he had to explain, so he immediately patted his chest and promised to complete it absolutely.

And Zhao Qi also went to buy those fishing boats that Zheng Liu had negotiated.

If you don't have a big boat for the time being, let's start training with a small boat first!
