Chapter 31: The Tang Army

"Of course, it's very expensive from the West." Tang Wen opened his mouth and spit out a few smoke rings.

That's when I saw Li Dawang's face shine, I guess he cared about the appearance of spitting smoke rings while lewd.

"By the way, I heard that you owe a lot of silver to the craftsmen of the workshop?" Tang Wen asked.

"It's a hundred thousand taels, otherwise, my workshop wouldn't be so cheap. Damn, someone actually lowered the price to 180,000 taels, and my workshop is not garbage. Li Dawang said indignantly.

"Who are they?" Tang Wen smoked another cigarette and handed it over, asking casually.

"Fang Qiang, Liu Hesen, them." Li Dawang said.

"Although the workshop is dilapidated, the site is not small, the price of 300,000 taels is indeed not high, and the shopkeeper Li is very sincere." Tang Wen said.

"Of course, if you don't get rid of it in a hurry, it will cost at least four or five hundred thousand taels." Li Dawang said.

"I'm not going to be sloppy with you anymore, I want your workshop. However, I can't get 300,000 taels out for a while. Tang Wen said.

"This, I need silver, and I will not take it on credit." When Li Dawang heard this, he quickly shook his head and said.

"Last time, that Diao Min Tang Jun brought hundreds of people to surround the old man's house, and if they didn't give them wages, they would still make trouble. So, there is no way to take credit. Master explained.

"Li Yuanwai, you don't think it's okay to do this, I wanted all the workers in Chiba Fang at the beginning. Don't you owe them a hundred thousand taels? This is mine, and I'll only give you the rest of the money. Tang Wen said.

"Will they will?" Li Dawang thought for a while and said.

"I'll settle them, and if they won't, I'll give you money." Tang Wendao.

"Then you'll have to settle them first." Li Dawang said.

"Deal!" Tang Wen nodded and said, "You recruit them to Chiba Fang, and I will come forward to solve it." ”

"I used to be able to recruit them, but they won't listen to me since the last siege of my house." Li Dawang shook his head.

"Okay, I'll take care of that." Tang Wen nodded and said to Ge Ziyun, "Bring the things up." ”

Ge Ziyun nodded, and moved some mirrors, lipsticks, and perfumes to the table.

"Did you also buy this from Miss Lin Qian'er of Piaoxiang Building?" Li Dawang blurted out.

"How much silver did Lin Qian'er give you?" Tang Wen asked.

"This ......" Li Dawang hesitated.

"Hehe, you may have been slaughtered by her." Tang Wen said with a smile.

"This bitch, a mirror costs a tael of gold, and a lipstick perfume is a tael of gold.

I took back a mirror in the store and sold it for two taels of gold, and lipstick and perfume for one or two gold, and they were too expensive.

Could it be that I, Li Dawang, won't make money, and I can't give them for nothing?

However, they are not afraid of being too expensive, and now they are out of stock at all. Li Dawang scolded.

"How much do you want?" Tang Wen looked at him with a smile.

"Do you still have the goods?" Li Dawang was stunned.

"Of course, a mirror is expensive, and it is not easy to sell. If it becomes a mirror for one or two or five dollars, is it much easier to sell? Tang Wen asked.

"Of course." Li Dawang nodded.

"My mirror is a tael or two, and my lipstick perfume is a seven-dollar gold. How much do you want, open your mouth. Tang Wen said.

"Do you really have the goods?" Li Dawang's eyes suddenly widened.

"There are not many who have just arrived, and there are still 800 pieces." Tang Wen said.

"Okay, I want half." Li Dawang said.

"The gold has to be paid first, and the money is paid in one hand and the other is delivered." Tang Wendao.

"Yes!" Li Dawang turned his head and said to his master, "Ning Ping, you go back and get the gold immediately." ”

"Master, I don't know how much to take, calculate it first and then go back to get it." Ning Ping said.

"Two hundred mirrors are two hundred and forty taels, and a total of five hundred lipsticks and perfumes are three hundred taels, adding up to five hundred and ninety taels." Tang Wen helped him calculate.

"When will it be delivered and where will it be delivered?" Li Dawang asked.

"Right here, my goods are in the wagon, and you can trade them right away." Tang Wendao.

"Ning Ping, you hurry back and go to Madame to ask for gold." Li Dawang said.

Ning Ping nodded and hurried away.

Walking out of Wangjiang Tower, Tang Wen had more than five hundred taels of gold in his pocket.

Of course, the lighter and a pack of cigarettes were taken away by Li Dawang as gifts.

In the afternoon, Tang Wen arrived at the yamen, and Yang Yun asked Liu Bantou to take him into the cell.

Tang Jun is 1.76 meters tall, with a thin figure, bright eyes, and is not very old, and he looks like he is only about twenty-three or four.

"Tang Jun, this is Lord Earl Tang Wen." Liu Bantou opened the cell and introduced.

"What is the Earl's noble body doing in this filthy and smelly prison to find the next mustard grass?" Tang Jun leaned against the wooden fence, sat on a pile of straw, and asked coldly.

"You can take the craftsmen to ask Li Dawang for wages, which shows that you have a righteous heart and are a warrior!" Tang Wen looked at him and said.

"It's not about warriors, I just want to get my hard-earned money back." Tang Jun snorted.

"That's as it should be!" Tang Wen nodded.

"Should? Why am I here? Ask them, is there any place for reason in this world? Tang Jun pointed at Liu Bantou and said.

"If you ask for wages, you will be counted, but you can't bring people to besiege Li Yuanwaifu.

Li Yuan accused you of attacking private houses and picking quarrels and provoking trouble.

We are the head catchers of Yanling Mansion, of course we have to take you down. Liu Bantou snorted.

"You're rich people's dogs, of course you helped them." Tang Jun snorted.

"Who are you scolding?" Liu Bantou was suddenly furious, and he raised his whip to whip someone.

"Alright." Tang Wen snorted, and Liu Bantou's hand holding up the whip stopped in the air.

"See, you don't dare to do it when the lord farts, what are you not their dog?" Tang Jun scoffed.

"I'll kill you bastard!" Liu Bantou was furious, and the whip was about to pass.

However, being put aside by Tang Wen, the person leaned to the side, Tang Wen threw him a tael of silver and said, "You go out first and wait outside." ”

Liu Bantou glared after taking the silver, and said, "Look at the lord's face to spare you today." ”

"Not necessarily! I don't know him well, you can just kill me. Tang Jun sneered, Liu Bantou's face turned red with anger, and he raised his whip again.

"What, do you want me to call Yang Zhutou over?" Tang Wen looked at it and said coldly.

Syllable!

Liu Bantou whipped the wood hard and left in a huff.

"Although your face is big, let me avoid a beating.

However, you don't have to intercede for Li Dawang's beast, my Tang Jun doesn't accept your favor.

We're going to die, and it's up to you to fight or kill. Tang Jun said coldly.

"Just him! It's not worth my intercession. Tang Wen said coldly.

"And what are you for? My Tang Army has nothing else but this rotten life. Tang Jun said.

"I want to buy your." Tang Wen said.

"Oh? Hahaha, there are still people who want to buy my life, it's funny, it's so funny. Tang Jun was stunned for a moment, and the next moment he burst into laughter.

"Since you are anxious for justice and righteousness, and want to stand up for hundreds of brothers and sisters, why do you want to give up halfway?" Tang Wen asked.

"Am I giving up halfway? It was their cattle who caught me. Tang Jun shouted excitedly.

"Does arrogance solve the problem? Does yelling work? I think you're stupid! Tang Wendao.

"I'm useless, you're useful, you say, how can you get back wages for hundreds of people?" Tang Jun scoffed.

"Do things for Benjue, and I'll pay you." Tang Wendao.

"Do what?" Tang Jun asked.

"Have you heard of Koh Samui?" Tang Wen asked.

"Of course, it's just a desert island. Moreover, pirates are rampant and chaotic above. Tang Jun said.

"The island is mine." Tang Wendao.

"You...... ......Tang Jun was stunned for a moment, and looked at Tang Wen blankly.

"Benjue now needs manpower to reclaim wasteland and build water conservancy.

In the future, Koh Samui will be built into a place where everyone can eat.

Everyone has clothes to wear, and children have a happy island in school. Tang Wen said.

"Would you be so kind? Hehe, it's not like you're trying to squeeze us to work for you. Tang Jun sneered.

"If you don't work, you want to be fed and clothed, that's a lazy man, and I don't raise lazy people. Happiness must be fought for with your own hands, rather than dreaming every day and expecting pie to fall from the sky. Tang Wen said.

"What the hell do you want us to do?" Tang Jun was stunned, thought about it, and asked.

"Simple, sell yourself to the Tang family. Let's build Koh Samui together and make our dreams come true.

Because, I want to buy Chiba Bo and take you over.

At that time, I will deduct your wages and offset the money with Li Dawang to buy Chiba Fang.

In this way, you will be able to get your wages back.

However, the condition is that he must sell himself to the Tang family and work on Koh Samui. Tang Wen said.
