I don't know when it started to spread, but it seems that a news suddenly spread in Quanzhou, saying that a businessman from Luoyang wanted to form a fleet to go to sea, spending nearly one million yuan. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info said that it was to recruit sailors, and it was said that the treatment was very generous, and the generous ones were not like that.

What is paid on a monthly basis, the position on the ship is different, the amount of money is also different, and the minimum monthly is not less than consistent; The contract with the crew was sealed in black and white, and filed with the government, stipulating that if any of the crew members fell ill, the fleet would be responsible for the cost of treatment, and if they died, the fleet would pay compensation for ten years according to the prescribed money, and if there were minor children, they would pay additional monthly living expenses until the son reached adulthood......

The conditions are so good that people can't believe it.

However, it seems to be true, because I have heard that some relatives in the government have asked if there is really such a contract, and everyone who said that it was the government said that it was true.

In short, in these days, this matter has been rumored through ups and downs in Quanzhou, and almost everyone has heard about it.

What's more, some shipwrights said that they also saw stickers at the docks, but the reason why not many people saw them was because other maritime merchants were afraid that their own boatmen would run away, so they tore them off as soon as they posted them.

"Childe, the news has spread, and the façade you want has already been prepared, do you think you can start?" In front of Xia Hongsheng, a young man who looked to be in his twenties bowed down and said to Xia Hongsheng.

"Shen Rong, when Alhan sent you over, did he tell you to send someone to join the maritime merchants here first and see the number of roads." Xia Hongsheng asked.

The young man named Shen Rong nodded and said with a smile: "If you go back to Gongzi, as soon as you arrive in Quanzhou, you will have the idea of installing people to follow Lin Jing, the son of Lin Daoquan, who is the Shuntai firm, and you can enter the Shuntai firm to do business, and learn the way of maritime business. Childe rest assured, now our people are already familiar with the road. ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded, and asked casually: "By the way, when did you follow Arhan?" ”

"Hui Gongzi, the youngest joined the caravan in Gaochangguo, the youngest parents were originally Han Chinese, and moved to Gaochang with the caravan, and had many business dealings with Lord Arhan's caravan, and the younger parents also had a good relationship with Lord Arhan. Later, Lord Alhan passed through Gaochang and said that the caravan had now become Hou Ye's caravan, and he was also doing things for Hou Ye. The young parents are old, and they want to come back, so they ask Lord Alhan to take their little experience and experience, and also do things for the Hou Ye, so that they can settle down in Chang'an and pick up their parents back in the future. The young man replied respectfully.

"Oh, I see." Xia Hongsheng nodded, although this person is young in the past few days, he is extremely experienced and reliable, so he asked. Before, Xia Hongsheng only handed over the task to Alhan, but in line with the principle of not using suspicious people, he didn't ask too much about the people sent by Arhan here.

"In that case, Shen Rong, then Ben Hou will hand over the maritime merchant to you for the time being." Xia Hongsheng said: "Arhan can send you alone, which means that he is also very sure of your ability and thinks you can do a good job." Ben Hou believes in him, and he believes in you. From now on, you will be in charge of the affairs of the maritime merchants here, and if there is anything that you can't decide, or you don't know much about, you can ask Arhan, or ask Benhou directly. ”

That Shen Rong was taken aback first, and then he was overjoyed, and immediately knelt down and said, "Little one, thank you Lord Hou for your trust!" The little one is willing to go to the soup for the Hou Ye and serve the dogs and horses! ”

"There's no need for such a lot of politeness." Xia Hongsheng smiled and waved his hand, and said: "After a long time, you will know, doing things under me, there are not so many restraints, and the atmosphere is still very relaxed - look at him, he doesn't have so many courtesies as you." ”

Xia Hongsheng was talking about Qi Yong, he was taking a fruit from the table to send it to his mouth, when he heard Xia Hongsheng say about him, his face immediately turned red, he laughed twice, and said: "Gong, Gongzi, the little one is too thirsty!" ”

"Eat yours!" Xia Hongsheng smiled and said: "The people of Datang, no matter where they are, as long as they want to come back, Datang will naturally welcome them." You write a letter and give it to Ben Hou, who will transfer it to the caravan in Chang'an, so that they can pick up your parents and return to Chang'an. ”

Shen Rong was even more excited, and was about to kowtow to Xia Hongsheng immediately, but was stopped by Xia Hongsheng.

In the Tang Dynasty, kneeling is often only for the elders in the family, between the upper and lower levels, and this is not required under ordinary circumstances. Under normal circumstances, even ordinary people meet princes, nobles or court officials, they still bend down and bow down, and do not need to bow down. You can see how excited they are.

"Go ahead, get things done." Xia Hongsheng said: "The façade can be opened, remember to display more overseas things inside, Arhan should have told you what I want to decorate." ”

"Back to Childe's words, the little one has been arranged according to Childe's requirements!" Shen Rong stood up and replied to Xia Hongsheng.

Xia Hongsheng nodded and said, "Okay, then you can go, tomorrow, I will draft a few different contracts, and it is estimated that they will come out the day after tomorrow, you remember to send someone to pick them up the day after tomorrow for later use." By the way, remember that no matter what you do, don't reveal my identity, just let people know that it's the son of a wealthy merchant from Luoyang. The government, in particular, can't let them know my true identity. Do you understand? ”

"Little one got it!" Shen Rong agreed, bowed again, and then retreated.

As soon as Shen Rong left, Li Chengqian sat down and asked, "Brother Sheng, you have only known this person for a few days, and after meeting him a few times, you dare to hand over the entire operation of the maritime merchant to him?" When I asked the shopkeeper Wang to run the winery, I didn't see you make a decision so quickly. ”

Xia Hongsheng smiled and said, "I can't handle the affairs of the maritime business myself, I need an agent." Although Arhan is a bit treacherous, it is only within the scope of the nature of a businessman, and he does not dare to make any small moves under my hands, let alone have two hearts. He dared to send this Shen Rong here to be responsible for completing the things I gave him, first of all, he must have believed that this Shen Rong had the ability to complete this task. Moreover, this Shen Rong is so young, there is still a lot of room for growth in the future. I trusted him enough, and I also intended to win him over. While I'm here, it's just a good time to see if he has this ability and whether he has this character. If his character and ability are okay, I will leave him behind, if not, I will take him back to Chang'an when I leave, what should I do. (To be continued.) )
