Chapter 591593. News
Wang Li didn't expect that he would have a new master when he came back from a trip out to sea.
He has now been following the boats for two years with his brothers from the fishing village.
Although life on the ship was boring and long, it also brought them rich rewards.
In addition to the high wages, the masters were also very generous and allowed them to bring back some small items every time.
Adding these two incomes together, they have an annual income of over a hundred taels.
Now that they heard that the owner had changed, how could they sit still?
After so many years of hard work, they understood that it was also because Madam Gu was generous and did not care about these petty gains with them.
If it changes the owner, it’s hard to say.
They all gathered in the cabin and asked the current captain about tomorrow.
Tomorrow he will be different from those hired here. He can be considered as Lord Gu's servant. After handing over the tasks at hand, he will get off the ship.
I didn't expect that before I could leave, I would be blocked here by so many people.
"Captain Tomorrow, what's going on? Why did you suddenly change your master?"
Tomorrow, "..." Can you say that you are the only one who has changed your master?
"My wife should have someone come over to explain the specific matter later. With everyone gathered here, I don't understand what's going on."
"You are the captain, how could you not know?
Will there be no more sea trade in the future?"
When I left Minghai tomorrow, I had guessed that this day would come, but I didn't expect it to come so unexpectedly. "How is this possible? We are still on the ship, and we haven't heard of any damage to the ship.
Everyone, please listen to me and wait for the response from above, and don’t speculate here privately. "
After listening to his explanation, these people still refused to leave. Ming Tian said helplessly, "I just came back from sailing with you guys. Do you think I know more than you do?"
This sentence finally convinced everyone. Well, the captain hasn't left the ship yet and has been arranging various tasks. Maybe he is not as well-informed as they are.
Some of these people were quick-witted and immediately turned around and walked out. They had to hurry to find the person who had just leaked the news, because that was the real insider.
Wang Li stayed still until most people had left, and the only ones left were his brothers. Then he asked, "Captain, I know that you are like Captain Minghai before, a close confidant of Madam Gu, so it's impossible that you didn't hear anything.
You know we have been keeping our mouths shut, can you reveal a little so we can be prepared?"
Tomorrow, "You really asked the wrong person about this. I am also going to get off the boat to inquire. If you don't believe me, then I can't do anything about it."
Wang Li knew that he couldn't ask any more questions about this matter, so he just stood up and bowed, "Then we won't bother you here anymore, you are busy."
When everyone came to the deck, Little Stone asked with a worried look on his face, "Are we going to give up and stop asking?"
"If he refuses to talk, it's useless for us to just stand there." Wang Li looked back at the cabin, "Anyway, we have just docked, and it will take some time before we go out to sea again.
Let's finish the work at hand quickly, and I'll go to Tianfu Restaurant to inquire later."
When talking about Tianfu Restaurant, the other people showed their anticipation, "We have been on the boat for the past few months, and our mouths are almost tired of eating!
It's a good opportunity to improve the food and satisfy my cravings."
"Don't you want to go home first?" Wang Li said casually. In the past, these guys would run away as soon as they got off the boat, but now they want to satisfy their oral desires first. It's really rare.
"Every time I get on board, I hear about what delicious food you've had at Tianfu Restaurant.
You've been greedy for us for so long, don't you believe that I can change the food?
Besides, this trip was profitable, so we have to reward them well.”
As for their family, they really weren't worried.
From the moment they got on board, whenever there was any problem at home, they could go to the funding point set up by Mrs. Gu, and they could get help as long as the conditions were reasonable.
This is also to allow them to work at sea with peace of mind, without having to worry even if they haven't been home for several months.
At first they didn't believe it, thinking it was impossible for someone to think so carefully.
But as they went out to sea several times, they felt more at ease knowing that any problems at home would be properly handled.
Wang Li is alone, so naturally he wants to reward himself after making some money.
Apart from buying a small courtyard in Lucheng, his favorite place to stay whenever he was in Lucheng was Tianfu Restaurant.
Although he couldn't afford those expensive dishes, the small noodles and side dishes were enough to satisfy his appetite.
But it was obvious that Mrs. Gu had already thought of what they wanted to know.
Just as they got off the ship, a notice was posted on the port's bulletin board.
A lot of people gathered there, and Wang Li and his friends naturally gathered there as well.
"What's written on it?" Because the distance was far and the writing was densely packed on the paper, they really couldn't see it at their current distance. They could only grab the person who squeezed out and ask.
"It's just about the change of owners." The people they stopped were not angry. They were all familiar boatmen, so they patiently talked to them.
Wang Li and his friends didn't come to their senses until everyone left.
"So now we have changed masters without knowing it. The contract is being performed as usual and the wages are the same as before. It seems that it has no impact on us." Huang Anping breathed a sigh of relief.
Little Stone was not so optimistic. "It seems that there is no impact, but do you know what kind of personality the new master has? I wonder if he will follow the previous practice or change to a more powerful supervisor.
It is better to be familiar with someone than to be a stranger. Besides, Madam Gu has always been kind to us. It may not be good news to suddenly change to someone else."
Wang Li's face changed a little, and a feeling of discomfort surged in his heart. He could live his current life thanks to Madam Chenggu. It was also she who opened up the new maritime trade that allowed him to have the good life he has today.
"Then we can only accept our fate. Didn't you hear that the contract remains the same? Don't forget that we signed a ten-year contract. We can't go back on our word.
You say this lady of the boss's family is really something, why does she want to change the owner when everything is fine?
Isn't she the wife of the prefect? No one should dare to force her, right?"
"These nobles may have made enough money, or something unexpected happened, so they passed the goose that laid the golden eggs away. Now that things have come to this, we can only accept our fate.
I hope the next owner will be better!"
Everyone sighed, not knowing whether this was a blessing or a curse.
Wang Li, "Since everyone knows the cause and effect, let's all go home first."
