"Let me introduce myself to the Lord, first." Clive reminded from the side.

"Oh! It's rude."

The candidate immediately reacted, stroked his chest and bowed, and said, "Hello, Lord Lord, my name is Kenbert, I am from Laifenggang."

No matter what special hobbies the Lord has, it has nothing to do with Kenbert.

Now he just wants to apply for the captain position. If he succeeds, he will work hard, receive monthly compensation, and live a stable life.

Irving placed his hands on the armrest of the seat, his back was slightly straightened, and he looked at the candidate named Kenbert in front of him.

"Come to Fenggang, where did you hear the news that I was recruiting the captain?"

Laifeng Port is located in the northeast of Dongsheng Fortress and is a small port city. Geographically, there are several steep peaks between them and Bianshu Town, separated by the Tianqiong Mountains.

"I have a businessman friend who asked me to come over and try my luck," Kenbert replied.

The small businessmen who are running around to do some price difference is indeed one of the important media for spreading information, and there is no doubt about this.

"I see."

Owen then asked: "Although my requirements for recruiting captains are not high, I also need to have at least one year of navigation experience. Kenbert, do you have corresponding navigation experience?"

"I once owned a merchant ship in Laifenggang, running some goods and making some money on the sea. I have been running for at least three years and meet your recruitment requirements."

"Once?" Irving asked, "Then why don't you run away now?"

"Well..."

A trace of sadness flashed across Kenbert's face and explained: "The environment on the sea is unpredictable. Unfortunately, I encountered a terrible storm. The ship was overturned by the waves. Several crew members disappeared. I was the only one who was rescued by the passing merchant ship. Although I survived by luck, I could not continue to run the goods without the ship."

"So that's it." Owen nodded.

It turned out that I had a shipwreck, which was really unlucky.

However, the main task of the fleet formed by Owen is to purchase raw materials from other places and then transport them back to Bianshu Town through the inland waterway.

Compared with sea transportation, inland transportation is safer, which is probably one of the reasons why the other party wants to come over to apply for the captain.

"What work are you doing after the shipwreck?" Irving asked again.

"Being a porter at the dock where you come to Fenggang, barely supporting your family."

So far, Irving is quite satisfied with Kenbert, and it is absolutely fine to hire him as the captain of the new ship.

More importantly, until now, Uchina has not pinched her hands to remind Irving that the other party is lying.

Feeling a little worried, Owen put his mouth to Uchina's ear and asked her to confirm.

"Did he not lie?"

Perhaps he didn't expect Irving to ask him questions. Uchina trembled suddenly, then turned around and got up, hooked her little hand on Irving's shoulder, and whispered with her ears: "No."

Uchina's series of actions shocked the other two present and cast strange gazes at Irving.

When I noticed the eyes of the two people, Irving felt a little embarrassed, so he picked up Yuqina and put it on the seat aside.

"You'd better sit here."

"Um..." Yuchina naturally pouted her mouth unhappily, "Okay."

Fortunately, she didn't play tricks, and sat quietly in her seat, putting her little hand on Irving's big hand, and continuing to perform her tasks.

Next, Owen asked Kenbert several questions, mainly to confirm whether the other party was a spy, and secretly collected information about the border town during his tenure as captain.

In addition, there are questions such as whether you recognize words or whether you are willing to learn new things.

Kenbert answered these questions truthfully and successfully passed Uchina's ability test without lying.

"Congratulations, Kenbert."

After the interview, Owen smiled and congratulated, "You meet our requirements. I want to formally sign a contract with you and recruit you as the first captain of our border town."

"Really? That's great, thank you Lord Lord!" Kenbert said happily.

Owen winked at Clive, who immediately took out two contracts that had been prepared long ago, put one on the table, and handed the other to Kenbert.

"This is the content of the contract that has been drafted. You said you only know some of the words. If you have something you can't understand, you can ask me."

"Oh! Thank you."

After taking the contract, Kenbert couldn't help but whisper a soft ejaculation.

"Huh? It's not parchment..."

Although the voice was small, it was still caught by Clive, who was sharp-eared. He leaned closer to remind Kenbert.

"This is a specialty white paper from Bianshu Town. It is also easy to write, but it is much lighter than parchment. However, it is easy to rot when it is stained with water. You'd better keep this contract in a dry place."

"It turns out that Bianjun Town can still produce such good things." Kenbert exclaimed.

As paper yield and quality are steadily improving, Bianshu Town has fully used paper to replace parchment paper, and now contracts are formulated using high-quality white paper.

Of course, if you sign a large amount of goods trade with a large guild, if the other party is unhappy with paper, it can still be replaced with parchment.

After confirming that the content is fine, the contract was signed by both conveniently. Kenbert was officially employed by Bianjun Town and became the captain of the new ship.

After holding back his contract, Kenbert mustered up the courage to ask, "Lord, take the liberty to ask, where is the new ship currently? What is it like?"

The recruitment news released by Clive mentioned that a brand new cargo ship is being built in Bianjun Town.

No matter how innovative this new cargo ship is, it should not be much different from the common wooden ships currently available.

Although Kenbert thought so, he still wanted to see the real thing earlier.

"You ask about the new ship."

Irving put the signed contract into the drawer, then looked up at Kenbert, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Actually, the time for you to apply for the job is just right. The new ship will be launched tomorrow. I will take you to see it with your own eyes."

"Tomorrow?!" Kenbert was stunned, "Oh, I get it."

At this moment, he was thinking to himself: It seems that the new cargo ship must have been built here for a long time. It is so lucky that he was able to successfully apply for the captain the day before he was launched.

"Clive, please arrange a place for Kenbert," Owen ordered.

Providing accommodation is a content in the contract, with the purpose of allowing those who successfully apply for the captain to move into the Bianjun Town quickly and work with peace of mind without having to work too much.

Kenbert couldn't wait to find some time to take his family over to live in Bianjun Town, and finally got a stable job.

"yes."

After stroking his chest, Clive turned to Kenbert and said, "Please come with me, Captain Kenbert."

"I'm sorry, Lord Clive."
