Lao Xu is a master of accounting, good at mental arithmetic, faster than abacus, and the accuracy rate is 100%.

Escort Xin reconciled with the team leader below, and before they could take the abacus to pull out the results, Lao Xu had already given the accurate number.

After sweeping the yard, he sat at the door of the office to rest, and when he heard the accounts being reckoned within, he casually answered.

This is the sum of more than a dozen groups and nearly 100 sets of numbers, and you have to pull the abacus for a while.

Lao Xu gave the answer immediately after they finished counting.

Guard Xin added it according to the abacus, and sure enough, the number was not bad.

I wasn't there at the time, and the leaders of the groups didn't care.

The guard Xin was attentive, and when I went back to the office in the evening to listen to his work report, I deliberately mentioned Lao Xu's skills.

The next day, I called Lao Xu to the office, repeated several rounds of testing, and confirmed that he was really a mental arithmetic genius, so I arranged him to the accounting team.

When Lu Xiaoxiao learned about this, he went to the river to catch a bucket of shrimp and sent it to me, saying that it was a thank you gift to thank me for promoting Lao Xu.

"As long as there is a person who is really talented and practical, he has the most suitable position." I didn't accept the thank-you gift, and asked him and Lao Xu to have dinner in the evening, they suffered a lot in the prison, and the big pot of rice on the island was only full.

Finally, I ordered the whole 'meat' and kept it for myself.

"Well, I believe that the island owner is the master of the blue sky!"

"Don't use adjectives indiscriminately, go back and pick more pecans to eat and replenish your brain."

"Oh~" Lu Xiaoxiao habitually scratched his head and grinned.

He said that Lao Xu was jealous of his colleagues before, and he was framed before he was 'assigned' to Zhuangzi.

Otherwise, with Lao Xu's ability, it would be no problem to do the accounting room in the master's house.

He has always been unhappy for Lao Xu, but year after year, Xiao Xu has become Lao Xu, and the opportunity to find another 'talent' is getting slimmer and slimmer.

"Life is long, and who knows what will happen until the last breath." I didn't expect to come into this world and meet these people.

"I will work hard and never give up until the last minute."

Lu Xiaoxiao ran away with a bucket, I just said it casually, did I inadvertently teach him/a lesson?

Lu Xiaoxiao's work became more and more serious, and he was meticulous.

Lao Xu put on new work clothes, and came to my office and bowed.

This action was full of emotions, and he didn't say a word, but his waist was straighter than before.

I don't need him to speak, and I know his emotions.

It's probably the meaning of 'great kindness is not grateful'.

For me, work is work, who is suitable for whom, and I am not doing charity.

But they were given a second chance in their lives and started over, and I can understand the excitement.

These prisoners sent by Seasebar and other countries came as slaves in place of pirates, and if nothing else, they will spend the rest of their lives on the island.

The original state, the monarch, and the yamen no longer have the right to control them.

Their lives and futures are all in my hands.

Of course, I use talents when I find them, and I don't have any scruples, and I am not afraid that if I cultivate them well, I will lose talents.

The city lord of Seaimmortal Castle is also relatively upright, there are no old and weak pirates, and the prisoners he sent are mostly young and middle-aged, and there are occasionally a few old people, who are also in good health and do not have any diseases.

Ah Whale's craftsmanship is also praised by everyone in the carpenter's pile, he used the rest time to make a dressing box with the remaining wood from the construction site, and there is a pair of combs inside, divided into men's and women's models, with earrings in the box and a small hanger, which is very exquisite.

The box has carved patterns inside and out, the style is simple and atmospheric, and he sent it to my office, saying that he was grateful to me for giving him the opportunity to regain his old art.

The box is unisex, so it's not just for me, Yunzhou can also be used.

It's just that he can't get the best wood at the moment, so he uses other materials first.

In the future, if he has the opportunity, he will definitely make another set of the best for me.

Although he really wants to be grateful, I am afraid that someone will follow suit and cause trouble.

But there is no need to return it, I asked the guard Xin to send him money, saying that I like his work very much, wood is not worth a few dollars, and his craftsmanship is precious.

In this way, he can also receive private jobs on the island, and I allow him to earn some extra money without delaying his work.

He is especially good at making delicate and complex small pieces of wood products, there are no carpenters on the island who are good at this technology, the women ask him to make combs, and some daily necessities, Ah Whale is happy to take on small work, not much money, it can be seen that he really loves this industry.

Considering the needs of the people on the island, the boat goes to sea every week and brings back many daily necessities, which can be purchased by those in need.

Working on the island only covers food and accommodation, such as soap horns for laundry, firewood, rice, oil and salt for small stoves, you have to buy them yourself.

One family wants a bottle of vinegar, and the other wants a bag of salt, and there is no way to ask someone to bring back such bits and pieces.

When the big ship goes out, it is to purchase the whole box and the whole jar, and when it comes back, it is sold separately.

To build a city on the island, shops are a must.

According to the drawings drawn by Kang Lao, leave room for road repair, and build shops on both sides first.

When it doesn't rain, you can walk on the dirt road, but when it rains, work stops.

Employees think about how to work, and I, the boss, have to think about how to make money.

I sold the precious medicinal herbs I had brought from the north, and the merchant I had found from the first mate arrived.

He brought one back, and I was a little disappointed.

This lone seedling just met and immediately gave me a 'surprise'.

"She's the owner? He doesn't look like a good person! ”

The merchant brought back by the first mate was a 'vagabond' in his thirties.

He was dressed in tatters, and his hair was oily to the point of being felt.

A charcoal pen to make hairpins, and a pair of shoes with holes to show their toes.

I said in my heart: Don't you think I'm not like a good person? Then you got it right!

"That's right, I'm not a good person." I nodded sincerely.

The first mate hurriedly eased the atmosphere and said with a smile: "The island owner is angry, he has fallen to this point today because of this mouth, and I don't know how many beatings he has suffered for this, but I promise, you have no problem doing business!" ”

"No problem? If he scolds all the customers and runs away, it's no problem? ”

"No, no, no, it's definitely not okay to talk about business, his stunt is to look at the market."

"What does it look like?"

"He said that if the price of anything rises this year, it can be sold for a lot of money, so the price of anything will rise, and he will stock up and make money according to what he said."

"Oh? So magical? ”

"Really, if the owner doesn't believe him, let him try it for a month, and if his prediction is not accurate within a month, you can beat him up and throw him into the sea to feed the fish."

"I can never be wrong."

"That's it."

"Thank you Island Master for giving him this opportunity!"

The reaction of the first mate was more fierce than that of the homeless man, and the corners of his mouth were almost to the root of his ears.

"He's your relative?" I asked.

"My cousin, but there is no one in his family, my mother took my hand before she died, and asked me to help him more, his parents are deceased, and he has no brothers and sisters, thirty people, he has not even made a family, no girl dares to marry him, he is beaten outside."

"If you need to, find me, I can help you poison him dumb, and predict the market can write."

"No, no, no! Your subordinates are merciful, he is not easy to say kiss, and then he becomes mute, then he really can't find a daughter-in-law, I have my aunt's entrustment. ”

"The probationary period only includes food and accommodation, you find Uncle Zhang, who is in charge of the dormitory, and arrange a place for him to live."

"I told you, it's no play, she didn't ask me what my name was, it must be for your sake, I'm embarrassed to pick up people directly, and I plan to take me in for a month."

The two walked out of the office, and the homeless man held back for a long time before speaking.

"Don't be beautiful, who is the island owner? Face? Hmph, if she is not satisfied, it is useless for anyone to introduce her, let alone pick you up, it is possible to slaughter you directly and use it as fertilizer in the vegetable field. ”

"After that...... Isn't it like a tiger with you? Or with a great tyrant! ”

"Shhhh Shut up, you'll know after a long time, how terrible the owner is, but as long as you work hard, she won't treat you badly, you can control your mouth, it's really annoying the owner, it's not as simple as beating up, you will be worse than dead. ”

"Got it, I'll try my best, don't I take care of the food? When is the meal opened? ”

The two gradually walked away, and the guard Xin kept smiling.

His desk was in the corner opposite me, closer to the door.

He listened to the words of the first mate and the homeless man.

"Very good, just promote me like this in the future." I picked up the ledger and looked through it.

I didn't ask the homeless man's name because I knew what his name was.

Not only did I know his name, but I also heard of him as a person.

The first mate didn't say that he had the ability to predict the market at first, but when he saw him and the right age, he could basically be sure.

Ten years ago, there was a strange man on the coast, who said that whatever he sold to make money, he was guaranteed to make a lot of money.

Of course, his predictions have nothing to do with metaphysics such as psychics, and his brain has its own system, which will predict the shortage of goods next year and even in the next few years according to this year's trade information.

He never stayed in one place, the humanoid computer had no one else to input data into him, and he had to gather the information himself.

His skills were taken by others, and he spent a lot of money to hire him to return home, specializing in predicting 'investment' projects, and at first that family did make a few profits, and then he was killed, and he was almost cut off in the head.

Humanoid treasures are also treasures, and treasures that can make money are the target of merchants.

Someone paid him a lot of money, and someone doubled, tripled, or tenfold to pry him away.

Once the scramble starts, no one can control the situation.

In the end, there was a vicious incident of hiring a killer and assassinating a business opponent.

His humanoid cornucopia is the water of woe.

The government arrested him in prison on the charge of 'bewitching the public'.

The assassination of wealthy merchants along the coast was widely reported at the time.

He also became famous, and for a while no one knew that there was an investment 'magic stick' called Shang Liang.

No one knows what happened after he was imprisoned, and now it seems that he has picked up a small life, but he is not living satisfactorily.

The first mate also said that many people wanted to hire him, but they were all angry with him.

Perhaps it was the shadow left back then, when he predicted the investment to the businessmen, he always habitually had a poisonous tongue, which may be a subconscious self-preservation behavior, hoping to push away the people who might hurt him.

But in order to eat, he had to continue rolling in this business.

He wouldn't be able to do anything else.

The first mate told me that Shang Liang had tried many careers, but he was dismissed as mentally and handicap.

He was born to eat this bowl of rice, but unfortunately he has never met a suitable boss.

In fact, Shang Liang also has a metaphysical part, and he can't invest it himself.

On the second day after the escort Jia landed on Shangliang Island, he had all his information.

In addition to what the original body heard and the first mate said, there are other hidden secrets that I don't know.

For example, if he has such a skill, why not invest it himself? Even if you borrow money from India and sub-money, you can get rich overnight and become a business tycoon.

The answer is that he can't make predictions for himself, and if he tests hard, he can't guarantee that he will be accurate.

For this, he also paid a terrible price, and his leg was broken by a creditor after his investment failed.

Later, he suggested that the creditor stock up on grain, and the creditor made a lot of money in the next year, and he wrote off the debt.

He was afraid that the creditor would 'take it by force', so he ran away in time, and from then on he did not dare to show his true face again, and he was as dirty as a homeless man all day long.

The first mate persuaded him to come to the island, at least he would do something for me, and no companion could assassinate me.

The first mate praised me as a powerful boss who reuses talents and can protect talents.

Seriously, if he can make money for me, I will naturally protect his personal life and property.

As soon as the gong sounded, all the people in the office building went downstairs to the canteen to eat.

On the third floor, there are only me and the guard, downstairs is the accounting room, Kang Lao's office and several major departments, and on the first floor there is a guard room, a cleaning room, and a utility room.

The office building has three floors, and under my proposal, there are public restrooms on each floor, at each end of the aisle.

There is a water tank on the top of the squatting pit, which cannot be flushed automatically and must be done manually, but in this world, it is already a very hygienic condition.

The sewage would flow into the basement and fall into a large vat that would be transported each night to concentrate on making fertilizer.

Life here is not something that can be improved in a day, and many things that modern people are used to can't be done here.

For example, the water heater, I can't install it on the tree house, and I have to build a bathroom under the tree, I said to use it instead, and the guard Xin Huo didn't agree, so I had to build two rooms, eight feet away.

There is a stove in the bathroom, so it won't be cold when you wash it on the fire in winter.

And Yunzhou and I went up the tree with light work, and we entered the house with two swishs, which was nothing inconvenient.

A well was drilled next to the ancient tree, so Guardian Xin didn't have to go far to the river to fetch water for cooking.

The process of adding up is very fulfilling, and everything in front of me is exactly what I want to retire.

Yunzhou came back from attending the pirate trial conference and brought us snacks from various countries.

He didn't just go out this time to join in the fun, but also contacted some subordinates who were hiding in the shadows.

He knew that I was going to choose a place to open a store, and I wanted to sell things on the island, and it was inconvenient to use the island as a store.

The retail industry, in particular, requires onshore stores.

Kojima then delivers goods to the store on a regular basis.

Yunzhou contacted his subordinates and helped me find a few stores, with guys and shelves.

He gave me the address, and then he looked at the island, and I landed to see the shop.

There must indeed be a man left behind on the island, and there are prisoners and sailors who can only deal with the ordinary bandits.

Really go to a group of martial arts masters, they give it all for nothing.

I left the island by boat and went to the shore to see the shop at the address given by Yunzhou.

I rest assured that the ones he chose are all auspicious shops.

One of the largest shops is in Huacheng, and I brought the escort Jia on this trip, and I need him to go out to inquire about the news and play to his strengths.
