After traveling through time, I was spotted by the new emperor

Chapter 264 Found the Crew

Ye Wuwei didn't know that Ye Dacheng was thinking about him. After leaving Linyi Pavilion, Ye Wuwei went to the fishing boat association that Ye Dacheng mentioned.

Of course, when Ye Wuwei went to the fishing boat association to inquire, he would not ask about driving a "five-tooth ship", but would inquire according to the standards of a junk.

Ye Wuwei actually found out that there was someone who could drive a large ship.

Ye Wuwei went to the house according to the address he had inquired about.

This is a slum area in the city.

The person who opened the door was a young girl with several patches on her clothes, a little malnourished but with a pretty face.

Judging from the way he was dressed, he lived a very hard life.

The girl looked at Ye Wuwei warily and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Excuse me, is this Lin Haisheng's home?"

"What are you doing with him?"

Ye Wuwei smelled a faint medicinal scent on the girl and asked, "Is Lin Hai sick?"

The girl didn't say anything.

"I'm not a bad person. I just want to see him for something."

At this moment, a voice came from inside the house: "Nizi, who is it?"

"I said I have something to talk to you about."

"Let him in."

After entering the house, Ye Wuwei looked around and found that they were almost penniless.

A middle-aged man with a thin face, bulging eyes and a thick neck was sitting on the bed.

His skin had dark purple patches with a raised, uneven surface.

"Are you Lin Haisheng?"

"Yes."

"I heard that you used to be a sailor and can drive a large ship?"

"That's all in the past. Now I'm just a patient, stuck in bed and can't go anywhere."

"What disease do you have?"

"The doctor said it was goiter, and I've been taking medicine for several years but it hasn't gotten better."

Ye Wuwei didn't know what "goiter" was, but he understood why the other family was so poor.

Because medical treatment requires money!

Even in modern times with medical insurance, a middle-class family could fall back into poverty if there was a seriously ill person in the family, not to mention that this was in ancient times when all medical expenses were borne privately!

Ye Wuwei felt even more that it would be extremely difficult to govern the Qi Dynasty into a prosperous era.

But even so, Ye Wuwei will still do his best to assist Qi Wushuang and strive to make the Qi Dynasty a prosperous one.

Ye Wuwei collected his thoughts and looked at Lin Haisheng: "If I asked you to command a large ship now, would you still be able to do it?"

Lin Haisheng smiled bitterly: "I can barely walk these days, who would hire me?"

"Don't worry about that for now. I just want to ask you: if I carry you onto the boat, can you command everyone to sail?"

Before Lin Haisheng could answer, the girl named Nizi suddenly asked, "Give me money?"

Ye Wuwei looked at Nizi:

"I have enough money to hire a doctor to treat your father. The key is that your father must be valuable."

Although Ye Wuwei had changed his appearance, he was wearing clothes that wealthy people wore, which made it easy for people to believe that he had money.

"Just a moment."

After saying that, Nizi ran out.

Ye Wuwei didn't understand what Nizi meant and looked at Lin Haisheng.

Lin Haisheng smiled bitterly:

"I used to have an apprentice who could also sail a large ship, but he wasn't very skilled. Nizi went to find him."

After a while, Nizi brought in a young man.

"This is my father's apprentice. With my father by his side to guide him, he can sail a big ship."

Ye Wuwei looked at the man, who had a simple and honest look on his face, and a little awkward in his behavior.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Chunsheng."

"Can you sail a big boat?"

Chunsheng glanced at Lin Haisheng, then looked back at Ye Wuwei:

"Master and I have been on two types of large ships: one with sails, and one without sails but requiring forty people to row."

Ye Wuwei's mind moved:

Could the latter type of large ship that Chunsheng mentioned be the "Wu Ya Ship"?

Ye Wuwei asked in detail about the shapes of the two ships, and they were indeed junk and frigate.

However, when they were on the Wuya ship, the Yuwen family had not yet developed the island.

"Can you fly that five-story ship?"

"If I have a master to guide me, I will be confident that I can drive."

Ye Wuwei looked at Lin Haisheng:

"If I ask you and Chunsheng to drive the big ship, how much will it cost?"

Before Lin Haisheng could answer, Nizi spoke first: "One hundred taels of silver."

It certainly didn't cost a hundred taels of silver to hire a crew member, but Ye Wuwei had no other choice at the moment.

Ye Wuwei looked at Chunsheng, "What's your opinion?"

Chunsheng glanced at Nizi and replied awkwardly, "I'll listen to you."

Ye Wuwei thought for a moment and said to Lin Haisheng:

"I'll have a doctor come to see you later. Just focus on your treatment. I'll take you aboard when the time comes."

After Ye Wuwei left, Chunsheng asked Nizi, "Why did you ask him for a hundred taels of silver?"

"He knew my father was disabled but still wanted to ask him for help, which means he was in urgent need of crew members."

Lin Haisheng sighed:

"Nizi, have you ever thought about this? He's willing to pay a high price to hire me in my situation. His motives must be more than just pure."

"I can't care about so many things. I just know that if there is no more money, Dad will have no money to treat his illness."

"Then you can't drag Chunsheng into this either."

Chunsheng quickly said, "I'm fine."

Nizi said to Chunsheng:

"Brother Chunsheng, although I don't know who he is, I don't sense any ill will from him, otherwise I wouldn't have called you.

And when he left just now, he told my father to focus on his treatment first, which shows that he is not a bad person. "

Lin Haisheng: "That's not the reason why you dragged Chunsheng into this."

Nizi looked at Chunsheng:

"If anything happens to you, I'll give you my life.

If you return safely this time, I will marry you."

Chunsheng was overjoyed: "Nizi, are you willing to marry me?"

"Yes, as long as we return safely this time, I will marry you."

Lin Haisheng looked at the two people, one willing to fight and the other willing to be beaten, and sighed: I hope nothing will happen!
