Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 1447 Chartered Ship Pursuit
It is not impossible to let the government send a navy to suppress the bandits.It's just that when the news is reported layer by layer, and the orders are passed down layer by layer, the gang of water bandits may go somewhere.

Liu Ya felt that Liu's cargo ship should only be one of the targets of the water bandits.But if they are not caught this time, I am afraid that other ships related to Helian's family will also suffer.

Thinking of this, Liu Ya said: "Under a heavy reward, there must be a brave man. Let me show you that I will pay 20 taels of silver a day to rent a fast boat to chase Liu's boat until it reaches the mouth of the sea. According to this price, I will settle the bill. In addition, I will hire ten skilled sailors. In addition to being able to sail the boat, they also need to be good at water. To the mouth of the sea. In addition, if you really encounter water bandits, I will compensate the injured person with another 20 taels of silver, and if it is more serious and something serious happens, I will give you 50 taels of compensation.”

Liu Ya knew that no amount of money could buy a life.But at times like this, no one is willing to help without spending money.

What's more, 50 taels of silver is really not a small sum.For ordinary people, it is enough for the whole family to eat for ten or twenty years.Some people may not be able to save this amount in their entire life.

Therefore, as soon as Liu Ya finished speaking, some people eagerly began to push forward, and even some people came directly and wanted to follow Liu Ya.

Liu Ya saw that half of the hundred or so people on the pier wanted to follow her, so she quickly shook her head and said, "Everyone, don't crowd. Don't get me wrong, I don't hire everyone, I have to be good at swimming, able to help I'm dealing with water bandits. You should think about it before signing up, this is a matter of human life."

A boatman waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, even if we don't follow your boat to deal with water bandits, who knows when our boat will encounter such a thing. Since there are 50 taels of silver when you die, of course it is It's a gamble."

Liu Ya frowned when she heard this, and said, "That's not what I mean. I mean, when you deal with water bandits, you must also pay attention to protecting yourself. After all, life is given by your parents, and your body is yours. You must protect yourself." Cherish. I don't really want to buy your lives to die, I just want to give you as much compensation as possible."

"Yes, we understand." A tall and strong man stood up and said, "If you can live, who wants to die. However, the wages of three taels of silver a day have never been seen since I worked on this pier. So, if I sign up, you must accept me. I am good at swimming and have great strength, let alone beating water bandits, even if I am beating buffaloes, I will not lose."

Liu Ya didn't dare to take human life as a joke.Although a few years ago, human life was inferior to a stray cat or dog in her eyes, but now, in her opinion, human life is really more important than anything else.

Of course, people's hearts are also important.Therefore, only the lives of good people are precious in Liu Ya's eyes.The lives of those villains, in Liu Ya's eyes, are just a pile of rotten meat.

Liu Ya just looked at his head, and asked him in a low voice: "How can I know who is a good underwater player?"

He also frowned on his head, then his eyes lit up, and said: "Call the little grasshopper, he will definitely know."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and asked someone to call the little grasshopper over.The little grasshopper woke up a long time ago, and was also watching the fun from the sidelines.Seeing that the head was called him, he squeezed to Liu Ya's side.

Liu Ya asked him: "Little grasshopper, did you hear what I said just now? You are an expert in underwater, can you help me choose some good fighters who can fight?"

The little grasshopper nodded, but he didn't go to choose someone immediately, but said to Liu Ya: "Mr. Liu, can you count me in? I also want to go hunting water ghosts with you."

"You can't." Liu Ya patted the little grasshopper on the shoulder and said, "If you were older, I would agree. But you are too young."

"Don't look down on people. I dare say that no one here is as good at swimming as I am, nor as agile as my underwater skills." The little grasshopper curled his mouth and said, "If you don't take me, Then I won’t help you choose someone.”

After finishing speaking, the little grasshopper turned around and was about to leave.As a result, the head was pulled.

Grabbing the little grasshopper's ears by the head, he said, "Why are you so arrogant? Mr. Liu won't let you go, isn't it for your own good? Don't be ignorant of good people."

The little grasshopper is young, but very stubborn.Her ears were all red, and her neck was stuck and she didn't say a word.

Liu Ya hurried over and pressed the hand on the head, and said: "He is still a child, it's normal to be competitive. He can't be stopped like this, why not. I'll take you, little grasshopper, but you don't Go into the water, at least if I don't let you go down, you can't go down. If you go against my will and go into the water without permission, then don't blame me for not being sympathetic, and I won't give you a penny."

The little grasshopper thought for a while, nodded, and said, "Okay, as long as Mr. Liu brings me, he will be my boss. I'll listen to you."

As soon as Liu Ya heard about the "owner", she turned her head and asked the head: "I still have to see if there is any boatman who has a long-term worker with an owner. I can't hire other people's men without the owner's consent."

Shaking his head, he said, "Mr. Liu, don't worry about this. Only the boat has its own owner, and the boatmen and coolies working here are all people on the dock. Usually, those of us who carry our own heads , make peace with the master of any family, and the master will come to find us when he leaves the ship. Although it is stable, it is not fixed, and occasionally some people come and go freely."

Liu Ya said: "That's good. Now let's see who is willing to rent the boat to me. Only when the boat is fixed can we choose someone."

After finishing speaking, Liu Ya whispered to the head again: "I have made this matter clear, and there will be less people who know how to take the lead. You can see if you want to take this boat for me, or just help me rent it. Boat? If you are the leader, you don’t need to go into the water, and you are only in charge of sailing and deploying the boat. The wages are the same as those of these people. I will give you an additional [-] taels of favor fee when you come back. If you can’t come with me this trip, you can take a look Do you want to rent a boat for me, or find a suitable person to be the leader? I will also give you ten taels of silver for your hard work."

Turning your head to hear that it will be beneficial no matter what, he nodded in agreement.

But he immediately explained: "Mr. Liu, I am not only doing it for the benefits you give me. Yu Datou and I are good brothers who grew up together, and I can't watch him have an accident. So this boat, I will follow you gone."

Liu Ya nodded and said: "Then thank you for opening your head. Don't worry, I will let the brothers who followed me come back safely as much as possible."
