His mind was spinning rapidly, overturning the plan he had thought about last night, and quickly planning a new one. He tried to convince himself to calm down, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Master, I wonder how much salary you give these barbarian sailors?

Now that I know this, I can talk to them."

Liu Pei's: "I don't know what their salary is, but I think you should know. You can tell them that I can give them double their salary! If they do well, three or five times is not a problem! But you

You can’t tell me my identity, nor can you say that I plan to build my own ship. You can just say that there are giant merchants from the Ming Dynasty recruiting them."

Liu Pei also spent a lot of money to recruit people. There is no way to force this! Because the design directions of Chinese-style sailboats and Western-style sailboats are different, the sailors work in different ways! If nothing else, it is the most basic

There is a big difference in sailing.

Liu Pei Ruiran obtained the teaching materials of the British Navy at that time, but after many years, the teaching materials were incomplete. Moreover, most of Liu Pei's subordinates were illiterate, and they were stunned if they could not understand the teaching materials! Therefore, only those who know how to operate can truly learn things.

Liu Pei then thought of going to Macau to recruit Western sailors to become instructors.

Liu Dahai had no objection at all to Liu Pei's request. At this time, no matter how harsh Liu Pei's conditions were, he would agree first. But at this time, he had quickly cleared up his thoughts and said: "Master, then

The villain is leaving now."

Seeing his eager look, Liu Pei knew that Liu Dahai was eager to make a fortune. He originally wanted him to go, but Liu Pei felt something in his heart and said, "I'll go with you and take a look around."

Liu Dahai was also willing to show his ability in front of Liu Pei and ask for a lot of rewards. He said: "Then please move."

In this way, a group of people followed Liu Dahai out. Under Liu Dahai's leadership, the crowd went more and more remote. Fortunately, Macau itself was not big at this time, and they arrived at a place similar to a slum in a short time. Liu Dahai was in front.

The guide said: "The English sailor I am taking the master to see now. He fell ill on the ship, so he had to stay here to recuperate when the ship docked, so he rented a house. He has no job now, so he must

I will agree to your solicitation. Moreover, he is the sailman on the ship, so I think the master will definitely make use of this person."

After saying that, the group of people came to a dilapidated small house. After knocking on the door several times, no one opened the door. Liu Dahai pushed it gently, and the door opened. Liu Dahai quickly walked into the room and left again soon.

He came out and said: "Sir, this man is not at home. But I know where he has gone. He must be at the tavern!"

Under the leadership of Liu Dahai, everyone went straight to the pier. After making three turns and two turns, they were brought to the front of a tavern. This tavern was completely

Western style. There is a sign hanging on the door of the tavern, with a crooked picture of a bearded old sailor and a series of Portuguese letters below.

Liu Dahai didn't forget to explain it to Liu Pei and said: "This tavern is called the Old Sailor's Tavern. It is said to have been opened by the first batch of Portuguese people who landed here. There was an old sailor who was old and didn't want to sail anymore, so he

Opened a tavern here."

Several people entered the tavern. There was no one inside and the lights were dim. It seemed empty. It seemed that after the all-night revelry, the sailors had gone back to sleep. The tables and chairs were all made of logs nailed together and were very rough.

It is also very shabby. Both the counter and the seats are so dirty that the original appearance of the wood cannot be seen. The air is filled with the strong smell of spirits and tobacco. It seems that this is an old tavern frequented by low-level sailors.

Liu Pei had just adapted to the dim environment in the tavern when Liu Dahai jumped into the corner and helped a person up from a bench. This person was wearing a suit commonly worn by sailors, and it was so dirty that the color could not be seen.

He was wearing a pullover and a pair of black bloomers. His long flaxen hair hung down and was mixed with his beard, making it impossible to tell what he looked like.

It looked like this man was obviously hungover. Liu Dahai's small body couldn't hold him up at all. Liu Pei waved his hand and said, "Help him. Get him over here!"

Two servants immediately came behind him and pinched him from left to right, holding the sailor's arm and dragging him in front of Liu Pei. Then a strong smell of alcohol hit Liu Pei's nose, forcing Liu Pei to take a step back!

Upon seeing this, Liu Dahai held his hands up and said, "I'm sorry, I bumped into the master!"

Then he handed over his hands to the two servants and said: "Please help me, two brothers, to get this man out."

After he finished speaking, he ran back to himself. When the two servants saw Liu Pei nodding, they carried the man outside the door. The two servants disliked his smell and threw him directly on the stone road.

After a while, Liu Dahai quickly walked out of the tavern with a basin of water. He raised his hand and poured a large basin of water on the man's head and body. The man sat up all of a sudden and kept squirting.

The words screamed something.

This caused a burst of laughter from the servants. Liu Pei also frowned. But there was no way, sailors at this time were like this, and most of them were drunkards.

The man sat on the ground for a while before he woke up and seemed to recognize Liu Dahai beside him. The listening class was loud and he used unclear language to tell Liu Dahai what he was saying. It could be seen from his expression that he was probably speaking

Curse Liu Dahai.

Liu Dahai threw the wooden basin aside and quickly communicated with him through words. Soon the man became energetic, stood up from the muddy water, and began to communicate quickly with Liu Dahai, and glanced at Liu Pei from time to time.

.It seems that he is already in Liu Pei’s pocket

thing.

After the two men finished their discussion, the sailor bowed hastily to Liu Pei, then arranged his hair and beard casually, and ran away in a hurry.

Liu Pei asked: "What did you say to him? He looks happy."

Liu Dahai said: "Master, the villain negotiated a deal with him. I told him about recruiting sailors, and he agreed. At the same time, I promised him one tael of silver for each person he recruited. So he ran away

Gone to find someone."

Liu Pei laughed loudly after hearing this and said: "You are indeed clever! But don't you feel bad that you are short of a tael of silver?"

Liu Dahai said with a smile: "Master, we know different people. If I spend one tael of silver to recruit someone I couldn't recruit, I can still get four taels of silver. If you calculate it this way, I still make a profit!"

Throughout the morning, Liu Pei followed him around Macau. Although I didn't see the specific number of people he recruited, it seemed that he had definitely gained something. Moreover, Liu Dahai actually brought a pen and paper with him, and he kept

Di was taking notes. Liu Pei was not in a hurry to ask, so he just let him do his business.

After lunch, Liu Pei said, "I won't go with you in the afternoon. But I can send a few servants to follow you. What are your plans for the afternoon?"

Liu Dahai, who was writing and drawing on paper, looked up and said, "Master, if you can extend the time to about ten days, I can almost recruit a group of people."

Liu Pei asked: "How many people have you recruited now and what positions are they in?"

Liu Dahai flipped the paper in his hand and said: "Two mast workers, one repairman, and one quartermaster's assistant. By the way, the Jack we found in the tavern is the deputy boatswain."

Liu Pei said in surprise: "You have been writing and painting. I thought you recruited a lot of people, but there are only so few people! What have you been writing about?"

Liu Dahai said with a smile: "I'm sorry, sir! I didn't explain it clearly to you! What I recorded is the information I got from the inquiry, which are all the ships that may arrive in the port in the past few days. After they enter the port, we can get from the ship

Poaching people! But sir, you have to bear the deduction of their salary."

Liu Pei was so elated when he heard this! Because these people were included in the most important positions on the ship.

Among these people, those working on the mast are the ones with the highest technical level, the most rich sailing experience, and the bravest. The reason is obvious. First of all, it is a challenge to stand at such a high position in the huge waves at sea.

And technology.
