Originally, Wang Xuejun wanted to talk to Xu Jie, a brother in distress, about the current situation of the Ming Dynasty.

As a result, Jack asked anxiously and carefully: "My master, have you seen a blonde beauty?"

Wang Xuejun forgot about this and asked indifferently: "Who is she you?"

"He is my fiancée. After going to sea this time, we will go home and have a wedding."

Wang Xuejun replied sadly: "I'm afraid your happy life will end here."

"Why?"

"Because your fiancée has died."

Seeing that he didn't understand China's profound language and culture after all, he could only say to him bluntly: "I'm dead, just now, I was too late to take action. She had already been beheaded by the pirates and saw your God."

Jack was crying loudly at that time.

Accompanied by Wang Xuejun, he came to the beach and saw his fiancee who had no head, Jack cried in grief for a while again.

He put his fiancee's body on a simple wooden raft, deliberately folded some wild flowers to cover it, and pushed it into the sea. Then he drew a cross on his chest and prayed silently.

"Why not bury her?"

Jack replied with a low expression: "According to the rules of those who sail in the sea, after death, whether it is the soul or body, to return to the sea, is the highest courtesy."

It is not surprising that I really don’t understand these rules of foreigners.

When he returned to the captain's room, Wang Xuejun solemnly said to Xu Jie and Jack: "I saved you, and you also want to be my slave to thank me. But I am the most fair person and don't want to enslave anyone. Let's sign an employment contract and you will help me for 10 years. During these 10 years, I will pay you a reward."

Then, in his close pocket, he took out the capital that he was ready to run away at any time, and placed two rubies in front of them: "This is your salary for one year."

Originally, Jack called Wang Xuejun as his master, not sincerely, but just a temporary solution to get Wang Xuejun to save him.

On the contrary, Xu Jie, the benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness of Confucian education, was willing to serve Wang Xuejun all his life.

But hearing that Wang Xuejun only signed a contract for employment with him for 10 years, which made Xu Jie and Jack feel very happy.

Especially Jack.

Because in his heart, although the Eastern culture shines brightly, there are still many places that are barbaric and incomprehensible.

For example, the so-called promise of the people of Central Plains.

He really doesn't understand. No matter how big the business is, whether it is known or not, he will just make a verbal promise and both parties will get it done. Aren't they afraid that they will refuse to admit it later?

And my own master has the spirit of employment as a contract, that would be the best.

In this era, for Western countries, a contract is the agreement of the gods. Whether fair or not, as long as you sign the letter, you will never regret it.

When he saw Wang Xuejun taking out a huge ruby ​​as his first year's salary.

Facing such a ruby, he was simply shocked.

Facing such a generous master, what else can he say?

So he immediately found paper and pen, wrote a contract in English with a quill, and handed it to Wang Xuejun.

The English of this era is absolutely different from the English of later generations. This is the issue of history and culture.

Chinese characters are inherited from generation to generation. Even a high school student can understand a little bit, from ancient Qin and Han dynasties.

However, although the English language is also 26 letters, the splicing of the characters in the current English feels like a donkey's lips are not as good as a horse's mouth.

But after all, he is a young fisherman who graduated from undergraduate studies and must know a scientific question about English.

After taking it, I pretended to be muttering, not quite clear about the meaning, but it was quite accurate in the whole pronunciation.

Jack was shocked by Wang Wang Xuejun's performance: "Master, are you so proficient in the language of the British Kingdom?"

He put this contract on the table and signed his name on it as if he was decent.

While answering casually, I knew that the real common language in the entire European continent is French. But at the beginning, I felt very fond of the British language and writing, so I learned a little. I understood it briefly."

The purpose is that you don’t want me behind my back.

The fact that Jack was able to have a person who was proficient in English language in the far east immediately made Jack feel extremely intimate.

Xu Jie also wrote a contract with his usual brush according to Wang Xuejun's insistence.

But this is not a contract for selling one's body in Zhongyuan, but a document for real employment, with both parties signing and sealing.

In fact, in China, ancient people looked down on documents and believed that it was distrust between people, but they cared more about a promise.

Rich businessmen, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of gold and silver, often just a decision, even if they lose money, they will never regret it.

For Xu Jie, this employment contract is redundant. He will firmly repay this life-saving benefactor according to the conscience of the Chinese.

After finishing the matter, Wang Xuejun took out a sapphire from his pocket and handed it to Jack: "I will buy all of your five hundred black slaves from you now as my guard. Do you think this gem is enough?"

Wang Xuejun is now extremely arrogant. As soon as he stretches out his hand, he gets gems one by one. This is surprising that Jack dropped his chin.

But in fact, he didn't know that Wang Xuejun had not even taken out a cake except gems, and he was simply a mere penniless person.

"My master, I am already your servant, so what I have is naturally yours, and this does not require you to buy it."

When he said this, his eyes were still staring at the sapphire greedily.

At this time, I must buy Jack, otherwise I and Xu Jie will be alone.

Then he will rebel with those slaves and he will be dead.

As for this sapphire, it was a huge price in Jack's eyes, but in Wang Xuejun's eyes, it was not one in ten thousand, and it was nothing at all.

But looking at his generous boss, Xu Jie was already feeling distressed for Wang Xuejun in his heart.

So he naturally reminded: "This gem from the owner can buy a thousand black slaves."

Wang Xuejun gave Xu Jie a smile of approval.

He turned to Jack and said, "I will tell you solemnly again, you are my subordinates, and we signed the contract.

If you do things for me, I will pay you. If I want to obtain your property, I must trade fairly.

I really appreciate this spirit of contract, so, within 10 years, if I am not satisfied with you, I can fire you; but if you are not satisfied with me, you can also fire me as the boss. But I hope."

Then he held his shoulder with both hands: "I hope that no matter what the result is, we are friends because of the sharing of weal and woe today."

That means, you must remember my life-saving grace and you must repay me.

When the young Jack heard this, he shook his tears with excitement: "I obey your orders, my master."

"Don't call me master, follow the rules of our Ming Dynasty--."

"I call you sir."
