Chapter Forty-Eight: The Hundred Households

"That person didn't say anything, he said that Yang Zhutou recommended him to come to the master, and he wanted to see the master and talk in detail." Li Quan shook his head and said.

So, Tang Wen went directly into the living room.

It was found that there was a man in his thirties sitting in the hall, dressed in a light green cloth robe and a disc face, although he was dressed very ordinarily.

However, sitting in a chair gives people a feeling of not being angry and arrogant, and it seems that he is a person who walks in officialdom all year round.

"Sir!" As soon as he saw Tang Wen come in, the man was slightly stunned at first, stood up, and clasped his fists in salute.

"Your Excellency's surname?" Tang Wen nodded and asked.

"In Xia Li Liao, he is Yang Yun's classmate and friend, and he was admitted to the martial arts together. This is a letter he wrote, you can take a look at it first. Li Liao said and took out a letter and handed it over.

Tang Wen took it and tore open the letter and read it.

Hello, Lord Count!

Li Liao is my good friend, a native of Haishengcheng, and we are ten classmates, and we are in Wujin in the same year.

One year, when we encountered robbers, we fought side by side and killed eighteen robbers.

At the beginning of that year, we worshipped. However, after Zhongjinshi, he went to Yuzhou Mansion, and was promoted all the way to the post of 100 households in Yuzhou Garrison Mansion.

It's a pity that the year before last, he offended Chen Wangde, the capital of Yuzhou, and was framed by design, dismissed from his post and his family, and was imprisoned for half a year.

After I was released from prison, I went to me, and it was not convenient for me to be here.

Therefore, I will recommend a letter to see if I can beg for food under the Earl.

This person is an upright person, and he offended Chen Wangde last year because of a woman in the piano workshop called Song Yuanyuan.

Chen Wangde fell in love with the woman, Chen Yuanyuan swore to die, and my brother came to the rescue to cause today's situation.

Of course, if the lord accepts him, he will take a risk.

After all, Chen Wangde hated him like bones, and he left Yuzhou to prevent Chen Wangde from continuing to retaliate before he transferred to our Linghai.

Although they belong to different provinces, there is collusion between officials and officials, so please consider carefully before making a decision.

However, Li Liao's kung fu is even better than mine.

There is a lack of a commander around the title who can lead the personal guard, and he is suitable.

Please think twice, so as not to make you and my brother unhappy.

After reading the letter, Tang Wen gently put the letter on the table and said, "Lord Li, please take a seat." ”

"I'm no longer a hundred households in Yuzhou, please call me Li Liao." Li Liao said.

"Brother Li, please take a seat." Tang Wen said again.

"Lord Earl, give me a happy word, no, no, I'll turn around and leave." Li Liao said.

"Do you have family?" Tang Wen asked.

opened the popularity eye and glanced at the popularity on Li Liao's head, and found that the popularity was standing straight towards the sky.

Even, Tang Wen could feel a trace of disdain from his popularity.

It seems that this person has some contempt for himself.

After all, they used to be hundreds of households with six products, and they had thousands of soldiers in their hands.

"Yes! My wife and children, as well as Li Liao's subordinates who are bent on following me, have a total of thirty-six people. These men of mine are all good at it, and they have been on the battlefield and killed the enemy. Li Liao nodded.

"Where are they now?" Tang Wen asked.

"Those who came with me are outside." Li Liao said.

"Li Quan, you invite them in!" Tang Wen said.

"I'll go." Li Liao said and went out, and soon, he brought a bunch of people in.

"My father Li Xian, mother Wei Ying, wife Zhang Qin, eldest son Li Hui, second daughter Li Xia, third son Li Tao, this is Song Yuanyuan, the woman in the piano workshop I saved, she must follow me.

She is sixteen years old this year, so my wife has taken her as a righteous daughter.

The rest is Wei Guang, the former foreign commissar of the Yuzhou Garrison Mansion, my wife and brother.

This is Chen Guang, the general manager of the foreign commission......

These subordinates of mine all have nine and eight grades.

They were all implicated in my affairs and were willing to follow my brothers. Li Liao introduced them one by one.

"Song Yuanyuan, you are very brave." Tang Wen said.

"Thank you Lord for the compliment, Yuanyuan doesn't dare to be." Song Yuanyuan stepped forward and knelt down to salute.

"Well, you're all good. However, if you enter my Tang family, you have to sell yourself. Tang Wen nodded.

"Selling?" As soon as he heard this, Li Liao, including his subordinates, all frowned.

"This is the rule of the master, everyone here has entered the Tang family.

However, Master Tang is very good to his subordinates.

We were given food, clothing, and pocket money, and we were each given a room. Li Quan said.

"Sir, we don't want too much silver, we can join your personal guard and help you do things." Li Liao said.

"Good! Let's not talk about selling yourself for now. You do things for me first, and after ten days, if you don't think it's worth selling, you can leave.

When the time comes, I will give you ten taels of silver and two measures of rice for each of you, and I will send you chariots and horses to send you out of the island. ”

Tang Wen said, and said to Li Quandao, "Give them a few rooms, take them down to take a bath first, settle down, and eat with us at noon." ”

"Sir, you don't have to waste time. There's no way we're going to sell ourselves! I won't bother you anymore, we'll leave now. Li Liao said with a cold face.

"You're going to regret it." Tang Wen said.

"Regret, hehe, the world is so big, is there really no place for me Li Liao? With my Li Liao's martial arts, I can beg for food anywhere. Li Liao sneered.

"Although the world is big, I only have one here. Brother Li, don't talk big about it yet, you go with me for a while and then decide whether to stay for ten days. Tang Wen smiled.

"Then I want to see what the lord can leave me?" Li Liao also aroused his temper and snorted.

"Let's go to the bathroom first, wash our faces, and then walk around." Tang Wen said, so, Zhan Dongwen and Li Quan acted as guides and took them to take a look.

"Your latrines are really good." After coming out, Li Liao sighed.

"It's still fragrant in the latrine, and it's a strange thing in the world." Wei Guang nodded.

"It's very convenient to use water, and the mechanism called the faucet is really easy to use, and the water comes out when you twist it, and it closes when you twist it. The water is also clear and tastes good. Mrs. Zhang Qin said.

However, when Li Liao and his gang saw the huge gravel and sand crusher roaring.

Huge rocks were poured into the conveyor belt by trucks, and after crushing, the crushed stones were almost the same size, and the fine crushed sand was sent to the conveyor belt.

"This mechanism is so powerful that it can shatter stones."

"If someone throws it in. I'm afraid I'm going to turn into a pile of flesh and blood right away. ”

"What are you doing with all this gravel and sand?"

……

Li Liao's subordinates began to talk one after another.

When they walked to the edge of Wolong Lake, everyone was stunned by the huge scene.

"Daddy, look, that iron horse is too good, such a big stone will roll down as soon as it is dug up."

"And that, you see, can lift tens of thousands of pounds of stone."

"The wires were woven into a net, and some mud was poured ......"

"Daddy, I also saw something called an electric light, it turned on when I pressed it, and it went out again when I pressed it, it was much better than a candle, so bright."

……

Anyway, Li Liao's group of people entered the Grand View Garden like Grandma Liu, curious and amazed.

"Sir, I heard that these iron horses and iron oxen of yours were all transported back from the West?" Li Liao asked.

"Of course." Tang Wen nodded, and then looked at the popularity on Li Liao's head, and found that his popularity was no longer straight and straight, but swaying slightly.

Tang Wen felt a hint of amazement in his popularity, which showed that Li Liao's attitude had changed slightly.

If there is change, this person will have the possibility of fighting.

"The lord is a person with great ability, Li admires." Li Liao hugged his fists.

"These are just the beginning, and there will be more bizarre mechanical iron horses to be brought back in the future." Tang Wen said with a smile.

"I just borrowed the swords from your hand, and they are all made of fine steel, better than the swords we used in the barracks." Wei Guang said.

"Especially those small bows, although the arrows are small, but the power is not small.

Also, there are some traps on it for better aiming.

The chances of hitting are greater and the distance is greater. Chen Fei said.

"Things from the West are good, I used to go west with the marshal, and I saw the marshal use a thing. They call it a telescope, and they can see things more than a dozen miles away, and they know it very clearly. Li Liao said.

"That should be a single cylindrical one!" Tang Wen said.

"Yes, yes, it's a monocular, and you can only see it with one eye. However, I heard the marshal say that it was specially given to the royal family by a Western businessman, and it was very expensive. Li Liao nodded.

"Li Quan, bring the binoculars." Tang Wen said.
