Chapter 535 537. Recruiting People
All other conditions could be agreed to, but Teng Shang did not dare to agree to let the soldiers here escort him back.
As someone who has been in power for so many years, he naturally knows what this means.
Letting a wolf enter the house, this alone was enough to make him have no place to stand in the Dongyi.
"I can give you more gold and silver, but I don't need your country's escort."
Gu Wenheng looked at him like a fool, "If you leave and never come back, then I will be like a meat bun hitting a dog and never come back. Do you think I will do this loss-making business?"
Prince Zuo jumped up, "..." This prince felt like he was being scolded again, but he didn't know where.
He Gaofei spoke up at this moment, "Sir, there is no need for us to take risks for this matter. I think this prince is plotting against us. Let's have him taken away."
"Mr. He is right. It seems that this deal cannot be concluded. After all, no one wants to be a sucker.
Come, take him down!"
Prince Zuo knew that this was his only chance. He didn't need to choose between the prisoners and the nobles. "Wait, I agree with everything you said."
Even if these people use soldiers to send him back, what can they do? Once he is back home, it is not certain who has the final say.
If Gu Wenheng knew what he was planning, he would at most sneer.

Wang Li handed the dried seafood he had just collected to the consignee, and his face darkened as he held the remaining change in his hand.
The village chief of Zhaoyu Village insisted on raising the price, and the quality of the dried goods he provided was not as good as before.
Naturally, the consignees were unwilling to follow the original purchase price and pushed the price down further.
This lifting and pressing meant that all his hard work for the past month or so was only this little income.
If I were alone, I would be able to survive, but what about my brothers?
Nowadays, life as a middleman is becoming increasingly difficult, and he really doesn't want to continue doing this.
"Brother Li, how can we live with such little money?" Xiao Shitou also had a bitter face. He had worked so hard to get this deal, but it looked like the business would fail soon.
"The people in this fishing village are really no good. They have a good life now, and it is all because of your help, Brother Li.
If you hadn't helped them find such a good place in the sea and taught them how to swim, how could they have such a good life now?"
Wang Li, "Don't say anything, it's our fault that we don't have a fishing boat, it's normal for people to want more income.
But I guess Brother Li is sorry to let you down. I don't think this deal will last long. You can share this money with your brothers.
If you are willing to continue to help Zhaoyu Village sell goods, then you can hold this line. Anyway, the agreement we made with them before has not expired yet."
After Wang Li finished speaking, he stuffed all the silver coins in his hand into Xiao Shitou's palm.
"Brother Li, what about you?" Xiao Shitou was at a loss holding the silver change in his hand.
“If I am full, my whole family will not be hungry, but it is different for you, you also have to support your family.
Don't worry, I just came here and saw that Tianfu Restaurant was hiring, so I wanted to give it a try. Maybe your brother Li will find a new way forward."
"Then I'll go with you."
Wang Li, "They say they are recruiting people, but I don't know if we need to sign a contract to sell ourselves. Let me go and take a look first."
Little Stone's eyes were filled with tears, "Brother Li..."
He became more and more dissatisfied with Zhaoyu Village. If these ungrateful people hadn't gone back on their word, why would Li Ge have the idea of selling himself?
"What are you thinking? I'm just going to take a look. Maybe they don't really want me after all."
What he just said was just to comfort Xiao Shitou so that he would accept the silver.
For such a large restaurant, although the recruitment notice is posted, most of the candidates for recruitment have already been selected, and it is just for show of the owner.
Little Shitou looked down at his short stature and his frail mother, so he could only clench his fists and said, "Brother Li, if we can't find a job, then we brothers will think of another way. We can always find a way to survive."
Wang Li patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, go back quickly, they are all waiting."
Xiao Shitou looked back every few steps. Wang Li waited until he had completely left and was about to turn around and leave, but the moment he turned around, he gritted his teeth and walked towards Tianfu Restaurant.
Ming Nian sighed again while standing behind the counter. He had been waiting at Tianhu Restaurant for such a long time, but not many people came to apply for the job.
Some people came to inquire about it before, but there were always some unsatisfactory aspects.
It really wasn't that he wanted to be picky, but his wife had repeatedly told him to make things clear to everyone.
Even those who knew how to swim backed out when they heard they were going out to sea on a boat.
The conditions they offer are attractive, but going out to sea is a life-threatening undertaking and no one is willing to risk their life on it.
"Boss, someone's here to apply for the job." The waiter came over happily. It was good that someone had come, and the boss's expression didn't look so ugly.
At this moment, the waiter had completely forgotten that every time the shopkeeper saw these job applicants, his face would become even uglier and his temper would even become a little bad.
"Really? Then bring the person here quickly." Ming Nian has undergone various trainings from Manager Hu, and at this point, he can at least hold himself together.
Wang Li mustered up the courage to walk into this magnificently decorated restaurant. He didn't even dare to look deeply. If a place like this was damaged in any way, he would not be able to afford the compensation.
But as soon as I said I was applying for a job, why did the waiter smile so brightly?
The other party didn't even ask any questions and rushed into the shop in a hurry.
He wondered if he should just leave quietly and wait and see what happens after a few days.
The waiter from before came running back and pulled his hand and ran inside.
"My dear, if the number of people is full, then I will..."
"No, it's our boss who wants to meet you. He has the final say on whether it's appropriate or not." Now that he's in, how can we let him run away?
Following the guidance of the waiter, Wang Li followed him to a counter in the back hall.
"Boss, I brought the person here."
Looking at the face in front of him that was younger than his own, Wang Li knew that his trip was in vain.
Such a young shopkeeper must be a relative of the boss, right?
How could a powerless and incompetent boy like him get the chance to take up an internal position like this?
"You are here to apply for a job. How good are your swimming skills?" Ming Nian looked at the other person's dark face and felt a little relieved. From the looks of it, he should be someone who often spends time exposed to the wind and sun at the seaside. He just didn't know if he had the courage to take this job.
"It should be okay. After all, I grew up by the sea."
Ming Nian said, “It’s good enough to know how to swim. Even if you are not good at it, you can practice it slowly.
You just saw the notice outside, so you should know that we are looking for sailors to go out to sea, right?"
