"How much do you want?"

"It's not much, just give me the 20 taels that the captain promised me."

Liu Yifeng didn't speak, thinking about something, and his silence made Lao Wang misunderstand, and said hesitantly: "It's really not good, 10 taels is okay." ”

Liu Yifeng was lamenting Lao Wang's honesty and honesty.

He has long been familiar with the crews, and he knows very well that these crew members departed from Jinzhou Port to Dongshan Prefecture, and the income of this trip alone is about 40 taels, so it is no wonder that these crew members are in the ghost city, and they dare to let go of consumption here.

The crew members of Daming running to the sea are definitely considered to be the high-income people of this era, but they are too timely and happy, most of them are not dragged down by their family background, and they rarely save money.

After all, life at sea is boring, depressing, and fraught with risks, and the nerves of the crew need to be vented.

And the former captain who slammed the door only gave Lao Wang 20 taels of silver, and it is estimated that the remaining 20 taels were embezzled by him.

"Lao Wang, who is still in your hometown, parents?"

"No, I was an orphan and was brought up by my aunt. My aunt's son has been studying in the county school for the past few years, and he wants to take the test for fame, and I heard that the seafarers earn a lot of money, so I came to run the boat to earn tuition for him. ”

"So how do you send the money back? Commissioned crew? ”

Lao Wang shook his head and said, "The Maritime Safety Bureau has a special bank. ”

Then Lao Wang roughly explained the money bank of the Maritime Safety Bureau, which shocked Liu Yifeng. Even if this Damingwood is abundant, why is the economy so developed?

All the overseas areas covered by the Maritime Safety Administration, as long as there are big cities, have a unified system with the Central Plains, and it is endorsed by the imperial court, which is terrifying with high credibility.

This is a financial institution that only existed after the Industrial Revolution in later generations!

"Lao Wang, what is the result of the communication between the crew and the Maritime Safety Bureau?"

Lao Wang shook his head and said: "There is no result, it is still the same as what the captain said when he was in the ghost city, we went to the mountain city to pay the commission promised by the old captain, and there were no other promises." ”

Liu Yifeng was not surprised at all, he just wanted to know Lao Wang's arrangements after that: "Then when the Maritime Safety Bureau takes back this ship, what will you do?" ”

Lao Wang was silent.

He is just introverted and not stupid, he also has the worries of the crew, and because he doesn't like to talk and watch from the sidelines, he is very sure that Liu Yifeng's assumption is a sure thing.

"Lao Wang, you sent the silver back, how can you go back to Daming yourself?"

The ticket back to Daming from the city of Zhushan is as high as 30 taels per person, which is why most of the people can't go back after the expiration of the 3-year service period. Many of them don't eat or drink and can't earn 30 taels in these 3 years, and the commercial houses have to take a cut during the service, and many of these people have come to Dongshan Prefecture for about 5 years when they earn enough tickets to go back.

But after so many years of hard work, they bought a ferry ticket, and they were penniless and unwilling, so many simply stayed in Dongshan Prefecture. This is also the main reason why after the rumor that there was a gold mine in Jinshan City spread throughout Dongshan Prefecture, a large number of people who had completed their service did not hesitate to go to Jinshan City.

They're going to take a gamble.

Faced with Liu Yifeng's question, Lao Wang continued to be silent.

Liu Yifeng sighed, walked under the lantern, took out his remaining 11 taels of silver from the cotton clothes, took out 8 taels and handed them to Lao Wang: "I only have so much, I have the remaining 3 taels I use, you can take these 8 taels." ”

Lao Wang didn't think about where Liu Yifeng, a civilian man who was still in service, got the silver, after taking the few broken silver ingots, he carefully put them away, and then knelt down to Liu Yifeng without hesitation.

"What are you doing? Get up! ”

He broke free of Liu Yifeng and knelt down again. But Liu Yifeng pulled him up with determination, he couldn't kneel even if he wanted to.

"Lao Wang, it's not for free that I help you."

When Lao Wang heard this, his heart was much more comfortable, he learned what those people called Liu Yifeng, and said, "Big leader, what do you want me to do?" ”

……

……

It's already deep, the moon secretly climbed to the top, no matter how much there is no curfew in Jishan City, for the ancient people, it's time to sleep. But there is one exception, that is, the Qinglou where day and night are reversed.

Two people dressed in fur came to Piaoxianglou with three retinues, and when the bustard saw this, he immediately slid over as if he had a pulley under his feet.

"Ouch, these two uncles look very raw~~~"

She has seen so many men, and at a glance she can see that one of them should be the first time to come to Qinglou, and judging by his form and face, he is not the kind of person who often comes out to play.

And the other man who stopped her with his hand and pinched her ass knew at a glance that he was an old oilman. She broke free from his arms without making a sound, so as not to be eaten more tofu.

"Mother bustard, my friend doesn't like the smell of gouache on you, but Uncle Ben likes it."

"Look at what you said, which of our daughters doesn't smell of gouache."

"Strip naked and throw it in the bathtub and it's gone."

"Our Piaoxianglou temple is small, and we need firewood to boil water, and firewood is so expensive."

"Then I'll just lick it myself."

"Uncle, aren't you your friend who said you don't like gouache smells?"

"Eh~~~ He's just not used to it, let your daughter take off her clothes, and he likes it."

"Hehe, my daughter never takes it off by herself."

"Uh-huh, Master Feng, let's go in and talk, it's cold outside."

The tall entourage interrupted the two of them to "flirt and laugh and scold", and the old bustard sighed, knowing that with the old man in the color just now, he would not be able to squeeze the silver out of another chick today.

5 people soon followed Gui Gong into a private room, just to this step, has already gone out 5 taels of silver, it can be seen why since ancient times Qinglou is commonly known as the Golden Pavilion.

The tall entourage was Liu Yifeng, and he changed into the civilian clothes of the crew. One of the two fur-wearing people is Lao Wang, and the other is Feng Shuo, although Lao Wang remained silent the whole time, but there was a greasy smell of gouache in the air, not to mention his face, and his ears were red.

Another person with red ears is Kim Seung-woo, who is also wearing civilian clothes from the crew, but he behaves much better, at least not out of shape.

As for Feng Shuo, he pouted his ass and peeked out at the girls in the Qinglou outside through the crack in the door, with crystal saliva hanging on the corners of his mouth.

"Liu Yifeng, you promised me, when the time comes, you will let me experience the skinny horse!"

Liu Yifeng rolled his eyes, kicked him in the ass, and scolded: "If you do this again, we have failed this trip, not to mention the thin horse, there are no Japanese slave girls!" ”

Feng Shuo hurriedly put away his obscene appearance.

At this time, Liu Yifeng looked back at the fifth person who came with him, this was a person who was completely out of his plan, he was holding the dim sum provided by Piaoxianglou, eating with peace of mind.

"Do you want to eat?"

Xiao Zheng, who was also wearing civilian clothes as a crew, gave the dim sum in his hand to Liu Yifeng.
