With a bleeding heart, under the gaze of a group of crew members whose eyes were about to bulge out of their sockets, the old captain, who was quite greedy for money, received the cost of one million taels of ferry tickets from Wu Liang and an additional 200,000 medical expenses, and then took out 250,000 taels from the deducted rope and handed it over to one of the lightly injured crew members who was left to take care of the injured and unlucky people, as the expenses for the medicine, food, and accommodation of these wounded people in the recent period.

Because of such a small dispute, I made a huge amount of money less than 50,000 taels!

This situation naturally made the old captain who was eager to break a tael of silver into eight-petal flowers feel distressed to the point of scratching his liver, and he just wanted to raise the sail and leave the harbor as soon as possible to go back to the captain's room to have a drink and soothe his weak heart that kept crying blood as soon as possible!

This money-hungry old thing completely forgot the fact that there was still 950,000 taels of money just in the pocket, which made the crew members who were familiar with his temperament roll their eyes, and after delaying a little time, they sent their immobile companions to the dock infirmary for treatment, and after returning from the port, they quickly completed the preparations for leaving the port, and slowly left the dock with a sharp whistle.

Not long after the ship left port, the crew members who were slightly disgusted by Wu Liang's cruel methods received the 'sweet dates' from Wu Liang at lunch, and the two crew members who were responsible for cleaning the stables to earn pocket money ran back and forth twice, bringing everyone good things that are never seen on the usual table---- per person a half-pound canned beef, a mixed fruit canned food and two bottles of beer in glass bottles (all cans are from the reserve stock that Wu Liang is processing one after another). Compared to these four things that don't seem too conspicuous in appearance, the broken rice, seaweed rice balls, and kombu egg drop miso soup with sour plum benefits provided by the captain of the door is really shabby.

"Are you sure you're going to give us this for lunch?" An old man who looked like a boatswain surrounded by a dozen crew members took a look at the rice balls and worthless rice balls in large trays (eggs were laid by the ship's hens, and they didn't cost anything!). Deqingtang quickly frowned.

"What's there to be dissatisfied with having white rice balls to eat, it's better than nibbling on rusks with clear soup like in the past, right?" The fat chef with a thin little brother who was obviously not more than eighteen years old saw that everyone was a little dissatisfied, so he waved his hands at the moment, and made an expression that he couldn't help and went to the captain to talk to the captain if he had any questions or dissatisfactions, and unceremoniously hugged his sweet dates in his arms and said honestly: "Besides, this is a special explanation from the captain before leaving the port, and you can only add a slice of fried bacon to each person at dinner, but you better not have much hope for the thickness of the bacon!" ”

He earned 950,000 taels and was only willing to give his men a few sour plum rice balls for lunch, and only at dinner could he get a piece of salted meat to beat his teeth, and the total cost was calculated that he might not even spend 5,000 taels of banknotes a day, and he had to be specially pointed out, and the old captain was also a strange flower that came home from the door, and it was not comparable to Grande, and it was rare for this group of sailors to be patient and endure without launching a rebellion.

Well! After this voyage, if the miser doesn't change his temperament, I'm afraid he really has to be careful about the possibility of capsizing in a small ditch!

Wu Liang doesn't think that after experiencing his own kind of dimensionality reduction blow of beating a stick and then feeding sweet dates openly, these crew members who have tasted the sweetness can still go back to live that kind of outrageous hard life, and after the comparison between the two, the clay figures can also arouse a bit of earthiness, right?

Compared with the poor Baba, even if the canned beef is opened, there is not much oil and water to eat, Wu Liang and his followers who always like to carry a large amount of food with them are much more abundant, all kinds of fresh vegetables and fruits, beef and mutton meat, prawns and crabs are all available on the table, more than a dozen people eat hot pot at noon, at least 100,000 taels worth of ingredients have been eaten into the stomach, not to mention that there are several kinds of food and wine juices to choose from, and even the six horses pulling the cart can enjoy the bean cake to the fullest. Concentrate feed such as wheat flour is simply the kind that is in the sky and at the bottom of the trench compared to the crew.

This huge psychological gap has intensified with time, and the position of Wu Liang and his party on the ship has become more and more stable, and the earlier unhappiness has already disappeared without a trace by the rain of sweet dates twice a day and rain or shine, and the benefits of eating too many sweet dates have begun to appear, and the attitude of the remaining thirty or so crew members on the ship towards Wu Liang and his party has become more and more respectful, and the greetings they make every time they meet are more and more heartfelt, and their smiles have gradually become much brighter.

This situation naturally made the captain who was originally happy to give out rewards on his behalf to reduce expenses was very puzzled, this guy never thought of just a little 'small favor' (if you can count more than 70 sweet dates a day for nothing, and then multiply the entire eight-day voyage to get more than half of the ticket money, put it on any crew member It is necessary to run back and forth dozens of voyages to earn, which is definitely an out-and-out huge amount of money, of course, Mr. Captain will definitely not enjoy this kind of preferential treatment! will have such an obvious impact, but he still stubbornly believes that as long as the monthly salary is paid in full, it is not a big deal to deduct some food expenses, in order to keep his extremely pitiful majesty, he began to try all kinds of ways to make Wu Liang uncomfortable since the fifth day of the voyage, which was also close to the shallow sea of the Land of Thunder.

What kitchen cleaning is suspended, the shortage of drinking water stocks needs to be reduced, and the recent sea conditions are not allowed to use open flames in the cabin, but Wu Liang, who is extremely well stocked, can easily resolve it by using only the open stock placed on the carriage, and even has leisure time to issue an additional bottle of 500 ml glass bottled mineral water every day for the crew members who also suffer from the reduction of water consumption.

It's a pity that this struggle is too late, and this iron rooster has also overestimated his influence in the minds of the crew, except for the failure again and again that led to the frustration of self-confidence and the holding of breath, he failed to find any trouble for Wu Liang, which is simply a typical character of self-humiliation.

At a time when this contradiction was accumulating and could be detonated in an instant without a suitable fuse, a sudden storm added a lot of new variables to the voyage that was about to end, and at the same time sent back to the deep sea the wooden freighter, which weighed more than 1,500 tons but was vulnerable and helpless in the face of the waves, and could only go with the flow to avoid being sent to the bottom of the sea.
