Simon is extremely good at observing faces, how could he not see Tang Jie's changes?

Simon smiled: "I'm only responsible for making ideas, whether you adopt it or not, that's your opinion." [Ran^Text^Library] Captain, you need not be afraid and wary of my ideas. ”

When Tang Jie heard it, this guy was really right, I asked him to say it, although the idea was a little vicious, wouldn't it be over if I didn't accept it?

Thinking of this, the killing intent in his heart suddenly retreated by half: "Tell me about your medium method." ”

Simon smiled and said, "The medium way is very simple, lure them with a lot of money. Let them get riches that they can't get elsewhere, so that they will follow you because of their interests and become your reliable sailors. ”

Tang Jie hesitated: "It is understandable to follow me because of interests, but this combination of interests is the most reliable and the least reliable, once others give them higher benefits, they will leave me and betray me! What I need is a partner who can coexist in life and death, not a sailor in a money-hire relationship!"

Tang Jie suddenly thought of Old Barr's hardcore subordinates, and he thought with emotion: How difficult it is to cultivate his own hardcore followers!

Simon said, "Then you just have to choose the hardest way to do it." ”

Tang Jie saw that the two methods he said were either extremely vicious, or money opened the way, which disappointed him very much, he frowned and said, "What is the last way?"

Simon smiled: " On the one hand, you can send your capable men to bring the families of these sailors to your island, and give them a place to live, so that they can eat, wear, and drink well, and they will not be oppressed by the city guards, and they will not be exploited by the tax collectors, and they will live better than in Siss, so that they will not have the idea of returning to Sisis, and on the other hand, you can see all the sailors as your brothers and friends, and you will eat whatever they eat, and you will drink and sleep with them。 In battle, you are always at the front, and even if you run away, you are always the last to go. ”

In this way, you will receive their most sincere allegiance, and you will receive their most precious trust. Simon said slowly with a smile on his face.

The more Tang Jie listened, the brighter his eyes became: "The first is to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, so that these sailors can follow me with peace of mind, and the second is to take the lead, so that these sailors will be willing to serve me to the death." ”

Tang Jie pondered Simon's words several times, he suddenly raised his head and asked in surprise, "Were you really just a groom before?"

Simon smiled bitterly: "Don't dare to deceive your keen heart and perceptive eyes, I used to be the housekeeper of a big family, and then this family was ruthlessly exterminated because of offending the Kelsman family." I escaped from this massacre and went to Sisis, but fortunately I met Master Darius, and he saved my life, so I did my job as a groom!"

Tang Jieqi said: "How can a talented person like you only be a groom?"

Simon shook his head and smiled: "Master Darius is very suspicious, he is not a master suitable for my talents, he can be a businessman safely, if you want to do more things, you can't." And if he wants to be a stable businessman, his own ability is sufficient, and he does not need me to point fingers, and if I am too high-profile, it is easy to arouse the jealousy of others and the suspicion of my master. Being a groom allows you to live longer, be more stable, and be a good deal!"

Tang Jie found that he had really met a treasure, and he actually let him meet such a talented housekeeper who knew how to advance and retreat, knew the way to hide clumsiness, and was extremely talented.

Tang Jie knew that what he lacked most now was an internal affairs logistics steward like Simon, although he was superior in force and often had amazing moves in battle, but he knew that he was not good at these seemingly inconspicuous logistics work that could directly affect the situation of the battle.

Not to mention Nia, William, and Bill, and as for Lilith, a playful magician, her existence is more valuable than the deterrence of force.

With Lilith, a terrifying fifth-level magician, these slaves and sailors who want to rebel have to think twice.

What's more, Lilith now has a top-level artifact like the "Blue of Awe", even if she is allowed to directly face a seventh-level magician across levels, she has the power to fight.

Tang Jie looked at Simon's eyes and shining, as if he had seen a treasure: "Are you willing to follow me?" I will treat you as a friend and a partner as you just said, we will eat meat and drink wine together, I will never abandon you when we fight, and I will never run one step ahead of you when I run away!"

Simon has been doing his best to help Nia along the way, waiting for such a sentence.

What Simon just said is not entirely true.

He is not the steward of a family, but the only surviving son of a tragically destroyed family.

Simon knew the power of the Kelsman family's intelligence network, and he didn't dare to reveal his talent identity at all.

He followed Darius, hiding his identity, waiting for someone to show him up, and in his sleep he longed to revive the glory of his family.

After many years of waiting, Simon gradually settled on his groom status and gradually forgot his vow to revive the lintel, when the dark-haired man appeared in front of him.

After hearing about his deeds and seeing his wrist strength and strong financial resources, Simon finally decided to join Tang Jie after repeated temptations.

He didn't dare to stand on the lookout platform condescendingly anymore, so he quickly climbed down, turned over and knelt beside Tang Jie, kissed the upper of his shoes, and said respectfully: "I, Luke Simon, swear to Raphael, the god of the sky, Gaia, the god of the earth, and Tira, the god of the sea, and I hereby swear allegiance to you, and swear to the death!

As a modern person, Tang Jie is very uncomfortable with the act of kneeling in front of him and kissing his own upper, he tried to pull Simon up several times halfway, but was stopped by Nia.

If you don't let him do it, he'll think you're not accepting him. Nia whispered in Tang Jie's ear, "Also, congratulations on receiving a good housekeeper." ”

Tang Jie waited for Simon to finish his oath, and then hurriedly pulled him up.

He smiled at Nia and said, "How can a mere butler let Simon show his talents?"

Tang Jie patted Simon on the shoulder: "In the future, you will be my chief of staff, responsible for all internal and military affairs." How's that, can you take on this burden?"

When Simon heard this, he was startled.

This is tantamount to handing over everything here to him, and Tang Jie himself is the shopkeeper!

Although this is the supreme trust in him, but with so many heavy and trivial things, Simon feels black in front of his eyes when he thinks about it.

There was a crying and laughing expression on his face: "Captain, you are too ...... Trust me!"

Tang Jie laughed, patted Simon's shoulder hard, and said viciously, "Who asked you to deliberately reverse the order of your three methods just now to test me?"

Simon found that Tang Jie's temptation just now was noticed, he smiled a little embarrassedly, and then gritted his teeth: "Since the captain trusts me so much, then I'll give it a try!"

Tang Jie smiled: "Don't look like you are bitter and hateful, if there is anything, Nia, William and Bill will help you." ”

When Simon heard this, he was startled again.

Tang Jie's words are equivalent to redividing the status of his subordinates.

From Tang Jie down, Simon, a newcomer who has just arrived, is the biggest, and then down are Nia, William and Bill.

In other words, Nia, William and Bill, the hardcores who lived and died with Don Ming, in turn, had to obey his Simon's orders!

And Simon just saw how intimate Tang Jie and Nia were, if he still regarded Nia as a simple first mate, then his eyeballs should really be plucked off and drunk.

This is equivalent to the future mistress, the future captain's wife!

How dare I command her?

Simon shook his hands wildly, his head shook like a drum: "No, no, absolutely not! Captain, if you still want me to work under you, you must not do this kind of ranking! In terms of rank, I should be below Nia's first mate, and William and Bill should be at the same level, and definitely not above Nia's first mate! She should be your spokesman, I'm not!"

Tang Jie pondered for a moment, and quickly figured out Simon's concerns.

This guy is really smart and knows how to leave a way for himself.

If he agrees to Tang Jie's arrangement, although he can get the power second only to Tang Jie, he will also bear all the risks. In the future, once something happens, he will not even have a shelter from the wind and rain, he will face Tang Jie's anger and blame, and he may also face William and Bill's disobedience and provocation.

This is tantamount to planting a time bomb on itself in this group.

Let her position be lower than Nia, then what will happen in the future, will be supported by Nia, with her buffer, the pressure on Simon will be much less, which will not provoke the jealousy of William and Bill, and will be more conducive to maintaining the overall unity and cohesion of the group.

Tang Jie glanced at Simon approvingly: "You are very thoughtful, I am impulsive." Then do as you say. ”

Simon was very relieved to see Tang Jie's advice, and he smiled and said: "However, captain, Master Darius still has to come forward to talk about it, otherwise with Master Darius's character, he will never let me go." I guess when the time comes, you're going to break the bank again......"

Tang Jie took a deep look at Simon and said, "As long as I can bring you here, I will give him ten more gems, so what?"

Simon was shocked, he saw with his own eyes how precious the red aria that Tang Jie had taken out was, he didn't expect that he would occupy such a heavy position in Tang Jie's heart, and would rather have ten more priceless gems in exchange for him!

Simon remembered his dormancy and forbearance over the years, no matter how hard he was hearted, no matter how deep the city government was, he couldn't help but be a little moved, he didn't say anything more, just put his hand on his chest, bent down deeply, gave a salute, and then respectfully retreated.

Tang Jie watched Simon leave with a smile, he turned his head to Nia and smiled, "Do you think he will cry for a while?"

Nia smiled and said, "It's possible, after all, not everyone can afford the value of these ten gems!"

Tang Jie laughed, being rich is really extraordinary, and the effect of using gems as gold coins is different!

The two men laughed and talked for a while at the bow of the ship, when suddenly there was a shout from the sailors at the bow of the ship: "There is land!!"

Tang Jie immediately looked ahead.

At this time, the sun had just emerged from the sea, and the fiery red sun illuminated the sea brilliantly, and the Alcatraz Island in the distance seemed to be covered with a blood-red veil, quiet and mysterious.

Tang Jie looked at the island and sighed: "We're here! Go and wake up those sleeping sailors, it's time to get up and work!"

Nia smiled sweetly at Tang Jie, when she left Tang Jie's side, the sweet smile was all hidden, and what she showed to others was always that cold and resolute face.

She climbed out of the cabin, and a loud shout and kicking of the door came out clearly: "Get up, lazy people! We're home! I'll count thirty now, and if I don't see you dressed on deck, I'll throw you out into the sea to clear your heads!"

The huge sailor's room was suddenly overturned on its backs, and all kinds of voices came out at once.

"Pants, where are my pants?"

"Who took my clothes?"

"Bastard, why is my shoe missing?"

"His grandfather's, who's holding on to?"

"Damn, is that your guy? I thought it was mine!"

"I'm just damn it, you guy grew on me?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I haven't fully woken up from the wine I drank last night, haha, ahahaha!"

"It's okay if you don't wake up, can you let go first?"

Tang Jie: "......"
