The Yu family brothers all said together: "I will never regret it!"

Wang Changfeng nodded and continued: "But there is one more thing I need you to do. I need more manpower to come this time. You can help me go to the village and ask from door to door if anyone is willing to come out and work with me. Two.

The conditions are: firstly, he must be a young and middle-aged man, and secondly, he must know how to swim, and preferably have experience at sea. As for the salary, it is less than you two brothers. Each person needs two hundred taels of silver a year, half before departure and half after return. If

If something unfortunate happens, I will double the compensation and give each person an additional one hundred taels."

Yu Buyi said: "This is easy. There are no other fishermen in Yujia Village. They can catch a lot of fishermen and there are many good ones. Brother Wang, you can find as many as you want."

Wang Changfeng smiled and said: "It doesn't take too many. I'll find two hundred first. I'll look at them one by one before deciding whether to accept them."

Yu Tongtong said: "Although two hundred is a lot, we should be able to get it together. You drink tea here first, and the two of us will go to the village to call for people."

After that, he grabbed Yu Buyi and hurried out.

Liu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Sir, these two brothers are quite interesting. I think their characters are quite reliable. I just don't know what their experience at sea is like."

Wang Changfeng took a sip of tea, frowned slightly and said: "These are all poor fishermen, and they are all simple and kind-hearted. This operation must find more people with reliable backgrounds. As for the skills, they can be improved through later training."

Liu Zhiyuan nodded and said: "Your Excellency is more thoughtful. They all have a blank sheet of paper, which makes it easy to draw. I guess Ji Gang and the others didn't expect that Your Excellency would have such a trick."

Mentioning Ji Gang, Wang Changfeng's eyes flashed with a sharp look, and he said in his heart, although Zhen'er escaped by chance this time, I will always keep this debt in my heart, and I will bear all the pain that Zhen'er endured.

The earth will return to your body, just wait, Lord Ji Gangji, it’s not that you don’t report it, it’s just that the time has not yet come.

I don’t know what method the Yu brothers used. In less than an hour, a large group of people came outside the courtyard. Yu Bubu walked in quickly and said happily: "Brother Wang, I have brought everyone.

There are only a few more than a hundred, and there are still some who don't meet the requirements. I think I didn't let them come. If there are not enough people in a while, I can still call out."

Wang Changfeng smiled and said: "If nothing else, you must be familiar with these people, and their character and background are all right, right?"

Yu Tongtong said sternly: "They are all neighbors and neighbors who have known each other for many years. Moreover, they are all from the same family. They know everything about them. There are definitely no bad guys. However, some of them like to drink and play cards. I wonder if this is a problem with their character?"

Wang Changfeng laughed loudly: "This is not a shortcoming, but an advantage. How can you spend a long night at sea without drinking and playing cards? Come on, come with me to see everyone."

Wang Changfeng briefly recounted the background of this recruitment to everyone. In addition to the generous remuneration, he also specifically pointed out that there would be certain risks and you might not be able to come back. He asked everyone to think carefully before signing up.

Those fishermen make a living on the sea. They have seen strong winds and waves, but they don't care much about life and death. I heard that the remuneration is so generous, and one trip to sea can last for more than five years. Who wouldn't be tempted?

Wang Changfeng saw the enthusiasm among the people, so he ordered Liu Zhiyuan and several others to find pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and check the fishermen who were willing to join one by one. Only those fishermen who were physically qualified would be registered.

In just half an hour, except for some with average physical condition, a total of 1,560 young men with strong physiques had been selected.

Yu BuTong asked: "Brother Wang, do you still need to call someone else?"

Wang Changfeng shook his head: "Let's do this for now, it's basically enough."

At this moment, someone outside the hospital shouted: "Wait, wait!"

I saw an old man about fifty years old running into the yard. Although the old man's hair was a little gray, he was energetic, lean and looked very strong.

Yu BuTong frowned and said, "Second uncle, why are you getting involved in this matter?"

The old man sneered and said: "I was just about to ask you, why didn't you call me for such a big thing? You were not even born when I went out to sea to fish, you brat!"

Wang Changfeng smiled and said: "Old people, you can't blame them. It's because we have special requirements this time and we chose young and middle-aged men."

The old man said with disdain: "Seating on the sea is not farming, so what's the use of so much effort? Experience and technology are the most important. Little old man, I have been working in the East China Sea for more than thirty years. There are no big winds and waves, and weird things.

I’ve never seen it before, but if you let me go, you won’t suffer any loss.”

Wang Changfeng's words reminded Wang Changfeng that he had always planned to recruit young men, mainly to control ships and cannons, but he did not expect that the East China Sea is dangerous and complicated. It would be great to have an old guide.

Wang Changfeng pondered for a moment and had an idea in his mind, then he smiled and said, "Old man, what do you call me?"

The old man said: "Little old man, I am the second oldest child in my family. Just call me Yu Lao Er."

Wang Changfeng cupped his hands and said, "Hello, Second Master Yu."

Yu Laoer quickly returned the courtesy: "You are so polite, sir. You don't have to be so polite to me."

Wang Changfeng stepped forward to hold up his arms. He felt that although his arms were thin, their muscles were solid and powerful. He smiled and said: "I have decided that you can always come. The only thing is that you will always have to give life to those young people."

Always obey orders and do not act without authorization."

Yu Laoer patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, sir. I understand all the rules. The most taboo thing on the sea is to mess around. It will harm everyone on the ship."

Wang Changfeng nodded and said: "That's right."

After some fuss, the selected candidates were all decided, and the rest of the candidates were persuaded to go back by the Yu brothers.

According to his own plan, Wang Changfeng organized all the personnel into two groups, led by the Yu brothers respectively. One group focused on boat handling skills, and the other group focused on gun handling skills. In addition, they also had to learn some kung fu for self-defense.

Wang Changfeng specially brought several members of the Xunlongwei Third Division this time, in order to teach these fishermen separately and strive to meet Wang Changfeng's requirements in just over a month.

Wang Changfeng arranged the training plan, called Yu BuTong into the room, took out a few banknotes from his arms, and said: "Here are 20,000 taels of banknotes. You can keep them carefully for me first. When you finally complete the training and meet the requirements,

Each person will be given one hundred taels of silver first, and you two will get three hundred taels each. You can keep the rest and redistribute them to everyone when you come back. I will return to Beijing today, and you two brothers will lead everyone to train hard.

, if there are people who are disobedient to discipline, they should be removed immediately. In addition, we should also pay attention to keeping a low profile and not attract too much attention."

Yu BuTong was a careful person, so he carefully took the bank note, hid it in his arms, and said, "We are the two brothers who are responsible for the matter here. Don't worry, Brother Wang."

Wang Changfeng patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'm waiting for your good news. We'll see you in the capital next month."
