The so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea, Dengzhou has many mountains and golden hills, and there is not much land that can be cultivated, so it is simply not enough to feed so many people if it only relies on agriculture, fortunately Dengzhou is close to the sea, and the various edible animals and plants produced in the sea are very rich, so the fishing industry in Dengzhou is very prosperous.

In the north of Dengzhou City near the coast, there is a very huge fish market, the seafood caught by the surrounding fishermen will be transported here to sell, and it is also one of the gathering places of fish merchants in Dengzhou, and the throughput of seafood here is measured in 10,000 catties every day.

The sun is about to set, and the people in the fish market in Dengzhou City are slowly becoming scarce, Zhou Tu pushed a cart of hairtail fish to turn around a few times, and there were a few fish merchants bidding just now, but the prices were too low, and it was not cost-effective at all, so he didn't sell it. However, seeing that the sun is about to set, if these hairtail fish cannot be sold today, no one will want them overnight, so in desperation, I have to find a fish merchant with a slightly higher price to sell.

Counting the small amount of copper coins, Zhou Tu sighed helplessly, this year's fish flood came early, coupled with the spring famine, all the people who can go to the sea are swarming to fish, as a result of the fish, the price is cheap, in previous years, this car of fish, a few can also be sold twice the price this year.

Zhou Tu is more than Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, is an ordinary fisherman in Zhoujia Village, five miles outside Dengzhou City, originally he did not call Zhou Tu the name, but the fortune teller said that he was afraid of water in the five elements, and it was not suitable to go to sea, but as a fisherman's child, how to live without going to sea, and then his father begged the fortune teller for a long time, and finally let the family come up with a crack, that is, to change his name to Zhou Tu, to press the water with soil, and barely broke the taboo of fate.

Zhou Tu's family has an old mother, wife and children, and there are seven people up and down, and they can't live cheaply on the two acres of thin land at home, but fortunately there is a broken fishing boat at home, and he has followed his father since he was a child. I learned a good skill of fishing, and from time to time I went out to sea to fish to subsidize my family, which barely supported the needs of my family. may be because of the blessing of the name Zhou Tu, he has been at sea for so many years, and there are accidents around him from time to time, but although he occasionally encounters risks, he can always get out of the way.

Flipping the money bag in his hand, Zhou Tu thought of the broken ship at home again, and couldn't help sighing. The ship had been handed down by his grandfather, and by his time it was in tatters, and its hull was covered with patches. Every time he went to sea, not only was he frightened, but even his wife and children at home were afraid of him. And this time, when he went to sea, he encountered a little wind and waves, and the ship was damaged in several places, and now he urgently needs money to repair it, but the money he sells is only enough to buy some rice and grain urgently needed by his family, and he can't deduct the money for repairing the ship at all.

Thinking of the money for repairing the ship, he reached out and touched a cloth bag in his arms. Inside is a silver hairpin, which is before going out, his wife gave herself, in advance she had heard that this year's market is not good, afraid that the money from selling fish is not enough for family expenses and boat repair, so she gave her only hairpin to herself. This hairpin is still a love thing that she gave to her wife back then, and she is usually reluctant to wear it at all, but today she has to take it out and let him go to the pawnshop to pawn it.

Thinking of the old mother at home and a few children waiting to be fed, Wang Shi sighed helplessly. Pushing the empty cart out of the fish market, ready to go to the pawnshop in the city to pawn the hairpin, after all, no matter what. The fishing boat is the lifeblood of the whole family, if it is not repaired, what will you use to feed the whole family?

Just when Zhou Tu pushed the cart and went out from the south gate of the fish market, about to go to Dengzhou City, he found that outside the south gate of the fish market, a platform was set up, on which someone was preaching something, and a group of fishermen who were similar to himself gathered under the platform.

Zhou Tu was curious for a while, so he pushed the car and walked over, anyway, Zhoujia Village is close to Dengzhou, and it is nothing to go back later.

"Fellow villagers, Dengzhou fishing team is now officially recruiting people, as long as you sign up and pass the test, you can become a member of the fishing team, you don't need to do anything, as long as you work hard, there is a fixed salary every month, and according to the amount of catch in the month, only more than a certain range, you can get excess bonuses, it can be said that the remuneration is very good, everyone come and sign up!" A seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man on the stage shouted very hard, Zhou Tu was stunned when he saw the other party, because he knew this young man, the other party was of the same clan as him, named Zhou Yu, and he was from the same village, and he should call himself uncle according to his generation.

Listening to Zhou Yu's shout, Zhou Tu was also excited, he didn't know what the fishing team was, but he could guess it by listening to the name, it must be related to fishing in the sea, and there was a salary to get every month, and he didn't expect a bonus or something, as long as the monthly salary was enough to feed the family, and he didn't owe anything, then he would do it himself, anyway, the family's fishing boat would not work. Although it is short of breath to work for others, it is better than starving. It's a big deal to save some money and overhaul the family's fishing boat, and then quit work and go home to do it yourself.

However, although he was very excited, Zhou Tu was still very cautious, and shouted to Zhou Yu above: "Sanzi, is what you said true?" "Zhou Yu is three in the family, so the elders call him the third son.

"Yo! It's Uncle Tu! Zhou Yu above was called Zhenghuan, and when he heard the voice below, he found that the other party was his elder, and immediately ran over with a smiling face and said, "Uncle Tu, this is a good opportunity, with your ability, you will definitely be able to pass the test, if you can be a small leader, then the money will be more." ”

"Sanzi, what is this fishing team for, and how much money can I get every month if I go to work?" Zhou Tu ignored Zhou Yu's words, and asked a question that everyone around him wanted to know.

"Uncle Tu, you are too anxious, I am only responsible for recruiting people, and there are special people below to talk about what you asked." Zhou Yu said and pointed behind him, and Zhou Tu really found that another person dressed as a tent man came to the stage and began to explain the specific work of the fishing team and the remuneration of the workers.

Zhou Tu listened carefully and found that this so-called fishing team was actually similar to the fishing team of those big families, all of which were fishing tools such as boats and nets from the main family, and they were hired to go out to sea to fish. And when the bookkeeper said the salary of each person, he immediately attracted countless exclamations, because this fishing team actually offered a monthly wage of 200 yuan per person, such a high salary, not to mention that the fishing team of those big families could not afford it, and even those enviable shipyard masters took this salary at most.

Just for such a high salary, it immediately caused a commotion in the crowd, everyone was talking about each other, Zhou Tu also felt that his blood was surging, if he could really get two hundred wen a month, as long as he worked for a while, the money he saved was enough to buy a new fishing boat.

However, the heart is moving, the main family offered such a high salary, but it made Zhou Tu and the others hesitate, even if they continued to catch fish for a month, removing all kinds of consumption and expenses, they could earn up to 100 Wen even if it was the sky, but the other party suddenly offered 200 Wen wages, isn't it clear that they want to lose money?

Abnormal is a demon, everyone is not stupid, at least they can still settle this account, so they are all wondering in their hearts, is there something wrong with this fishing team?

Zhou Yu, who was helping to recruit workers, immediately understood what they were worried about when he looked at the expressions of these people, after all, he was also one of these people before, and hurriedly stood up and shouted: "Everyone, I know everyone is suspicious, but do you know who the owner of the fishing team is?" ”

Hearing Zhou Yu's shout, everyone's eyes in the audience shifted to him, only to see Zhou Yu still shouting with a smile on his face: "Our fishing team is the property of the Qi Palace, and it is His Royal Highness the King of Qi who helped our fishermen get rid of the Giant Whale Gang!" ”

"His Royal Highness King Qi!" Hearing Zhou Yu's shout, many people immediately exclaimed, and at the same time, there was a look of respect on their faces. As soon as Li Su came, he got rid of the Giant Whale Gang, and as the fisherman who was most oppressed by the Giant Whale Gang in Pingming, he was naturally grateful to Li Su, so the mention of Li Su's industry immediately dispelled many people's concerns. What is the identity of His Royal Highness King Qi, will he still deceive these little fishermen?

"I, I'll sign up first!" Zhou Tu was the first to raise his hand to sign up, Zhou Yu, as a junior of the same clan, naturally would not lie to him, and the salary of two hundred wen was indeed attractive, coupled with the prestige of His Royal Highness the King of Qi, it immediately dispelled all his concerns.

"Okay, this brother, please come to the stage to register, and then someone will ask you some questions, and if you can answer them, you will be considered to pass!" As soon as the accountant in charge saw that someone had applied for the job, he immediately said happily, and at the same time glanced at Zhou Yu with appreciation, thinking that this young man was down-to-earth and hardworking, and he was clever and clever, so he could train more in the future.

As soon as they saw that someone was taking the lead, the down-and-out fishermen in the audience immediately rushed to the stage to climb onto the stage, rushed to the registration place to start registering, and then under the arrangement of Zhou Yu, they conducted tests one by one. In fact, the so-called test is to ask a few questions, such as what should be paid attention to when sailing at sea? When is the fish news per year? How to make the fish live longer, etc., are often problems encountered by some fishermen, and most of them can answer them when they open their mouths.

It was busy until the sun went down and when it was completely dark, Zhou Yu and the others who recruited were still busy. However, Zhou Tu had already passed the test, and after saying hello to Zhou Yu, he hid the contract signed during the recruitment close to him, and happily went to Dengzhou City to buy a few finer rice noodles, and his wife's hairpin was not appropriate, and he ran home to report the good news to his family.

Just when the fishing team under the name of the Qi Wangfu was recruiting people everywhere in Dengzhou, the boats that Li Su asked the government-run private shipyard to renovate were finally completed as scheduled, and now they are parked on the wharf outside Dengzhou. However, at this moment, a small incident happened in the two government-run shipyards, which made the person concerned, Wei Heizi, very embarrassed, should he hand over this person to His Royal Highness?
