The Haiya Fleet consists of 38 ocean-going merchant ships.
Apart from Han Fu-lai's flagship [Ruicheng], the deputy flagship [Yuxiang] has the largest displacement in the entire fleet.
According to the naming rules of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce's ocean-going fleet, merchant ships starting with the character Rui are the largest super merchant ships of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce. Although merchant ships starting with the character Yu are slightly smaller, they are often flagship-class ships.
In fact, the Yuxiang was not originally an ocean-going merchant ship responsible for the outlying island trade route. For more than ten years, the Yuxiang has been sailing on the interstate route "Zhongzhou Haiya Port-Huoyunzhou Yangjiang Port" as a
The main flagship of the Huoyunzhou trade fleet.
When the Haiya Department was preparing for the operation to reinforce the outlying islands, the Yuxiang happened to be temporarily resting in Haiya Port, so it was assigned to the Ruicheng and became the deputy flagship of this Haiya City special fleet.
The Haiya Chamber of Commerce's main flagship [Yu Feng], which was originally responsible for outlying island trade routes, is currently included in this temporarily formed fleet. However, because the displacement of the Yu Feng is slightly inferior to that of the Yu Xiang, it can only be regarded as Rui.
After Cheng and Yuxiang, it serves as the third ship of the fleet.
Although the flagship Ruicheng has a larger displacement, in order to take care of the lives of the cultivators Mr. Master and Manager Han, the Ruicheng not only has the necessary sailors to operate the ship, but also carries many chefs and maids, and is equipped with something like a "moisture-proof fairy"
There are extremely luxurious sea living facilities such as the "Jingshui Fairy Formation" and "Pure Water Immortal Formation". Ordinary soldiers and sailors are not qualified to board this luxurious maritime palace.
As a large-scale armed merchant ship dedicated to combat, the Yuxiang carried nearly a thousand conscripts from Haiya City. Shen Xiaotao of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce was one of these 1,000 conscripts.
Shen Xiaotao was originally a newsboy at Pan's Trading Company, and his father used to be a laborer at the Haiya Port Pier. However, due to an accident, he became permanently disabled. Although his life was temporarily safe, he still had to be taken care of in his daily life.
With a job like a newspaper boy, even if you have enough food and clothing, you can barely feed yourself. With a disabled family member, even though Shen Xiaotao works very hard, he still has enough to eat.
Fortunately, Shen Xiaotao is one of the very few newsboys who learned to read by selling newspapers. With the help of Murong, a comrade who sold newspapers together and later joined the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, he learned the headline-grabbing method of selling newspapers, which made his life comfortable.
some.
It's a pity that the house leaked and it rained all night.
The winter that just passed was so cold that his father, who was already in poor health, fell seriously ill.
In the Kyushu cultivation world, if you get a serious illness, you can only go to a cultivator for treatment. However, if you want a cultivator to spend his spiritual energy to treat ordinary people, it will cost at least several yuan of spiritual stone coins. If you add in the cost of physical conditioning in the later period,
I'm afraid even ten yuan of spirit stone coins can't stop him. This is also a common method used by cultivators to exploit mortals.
Shen Xiaotao originally wanted to shamelessly ask Murong for help, but was told that Murong no longer worked at the Qingning Chamber of Commerce. When he asked about Murong's specific whereabouts, the staff of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce were all secretive.
Although he failed to achieve his goal, Shen Xiaotao was told that the Qingning Chamber of Commerce was recruiting management trainees and needed young people like him who could read and write and had a clean family background. If it were another chamber of commerce, Shen Xiaotao would probably think that he had encountered a fraudster again.
, however, the Qingning Chamber of Commerce is different, because it has indeed recruited Murong, a newspaper girl it is familiar with, to work.
With the attitude of treating a dead horse as a live doctor, he signed up for this so-called Qingning Chamber of Commerce Management Trainee Program.
Of course, Shen Xiaotao would definitely not place all his hopes on the Qingning Chamber of Commerce. At that time, the Haiya Chamber of Commerce was recruiting volunteers to support the front lines of the outlying island war. It is said that ordinary mortals only need to receive military training for two months and follow the Haiya Fleet. If you fight overseas for a month, you can immediately receive a cash allowance of 60 yuan in spiritual stone coins. If you unfortunately die in battle on an outlying island, your family will receive a huge pension of hundreds of yuan.
For ordinary Haiya City residents whose per capita annual disposable income is less than 20 yuan, this is definitely an opportunity to get rich overnight, and more importantly, the Haiya Chamber of Commerce also provides superior conditions of payment upon signing. Just sign up. If you pass, you will immediately receive a signing fee of 30 yuan, and the remaining remuneration will be settled after the war is over.
So Shen Xiaotao signed up to participate in the Outlying Island War at the same time.
According to his idea, as long as one of the two jobs was approved, his family's financial situation would be greatly improved. Unexpectedly, both of his job applications were approved.
This is very embarrassing!
For Shen Xiaotao, whether it is the Haiya Chamber of Commerce or the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, they are giants that he cannot afford to offend. No matter which contract is broken, the consequences are beyond what a little newsboy like him can bear.
Not to mention the Haiya Chamber of Commerce, if an ordinary mortal tears up the contract signed with the Haiya Chamber of Commerce, it is no different than seeking death!
The person in charge of the management trainee project of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce is Steward He Mingyuan, known as "He Yanwang".
According to rumors, Manager Yonghe has always been known for keeping his eyes open. Not to mention such vicious events as breach of contract, even if the public expenses of a few cents of spiritual stone coins are not reimbursed as required, Manager He will have to let your whole family live in the house. Take a trip through the gates of hell.
Even the lower-level members of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce talk about He Mingyuan with both respect and fear. They are afraid that it is because He Mingyuan is too cruel to his subordinates, but they respect him because he is even more cruel to himself!
It is precisely because He Mingyuan has always held himself to the standards of a saint that several of his close subordinates, represented by Li Feng, have almost hung He Mingyuan as an idol on the wall. It is also precisely because of the ascetic-like behavior of He Mingyuan and his group that they The atmosphere of the entire Qingning Chamber of Commerce was lifted.
When Shen Xiaotao took the Haiya City recruitment contract he signed and explained the situation to Manager He Da, several of He Mingyuan's close subordinates looked at him as if they were looking at a dead person, which almost scared Shen Xiaotao to the point of peeing. Pants.
However, something surprising happened.
When He Mingyuan heard about the difficulties in Shen Xiaotao's family, he had no intention of blaming him at all.
He said on the spot that Shen Xiaotao's behavior was not a breach of contract. He could have received two salaries from the Haiya Chamber of Commerce and the Qingning Chamber of Commerce at the same time, participated in the military training of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce in the morning, and came to the Qingning Chamber of Commerce to learn business knowledge in the afternoon. This He Mingyuan's close subordinates couldn't believe their eyes due to such a generous and kind expression.
They even suspected for a time that their manager He Da, who was "not as close as the father and mother to the Chamber of Commerce", had been taken away by evil monks.
Shen Xiaotao was so moved that he burst into tears on the spot, repeatedly saying that he would never live up to He Mingyuan's expectations. Even if he worked two jobs at the same time, he would definitely be better than other management trainees.
However, Manager He just smiled gently and told him that this was what Consultant Yang of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce meant. He wanted to thank Consultant Yang, but not He Mingyuan.
Since then, Shen Xiaotao has lived a three-point, one-line life.
In the morning, he needed to participate in the Haiya Chamber of Commerce's routine military training for mortal conscripts. In the afternoon, he needed to participate in the business knowledge course given to him by He Mingyuan alone. In the evening, he had to go home to take care of his father who was paralyzed in bed. He had almost no time to rest.
As the Haiya fleet pulled anchor and set sail for the outlying islands, Shen Xiaotao also asked He Mingyuan for a long leave, paid a large sum of money, and handed over his father, who had just recovered from a serious illness, to the care of a familiar colleague. Embark on an unpredictable journey to an outlying island.
