"But even if I am a first-class earl, I can only form a personal guard of more than 400 people, and any more will violate the rules of the court and kill the head." Tang Wen shook his head and said.

"Hehehe, Lord Qin has already thought of this for you." Tie Wenjing said with a smile.

"Oh, what's the point?" Tang Wen asked.

"Lord Qin means to ask you to donate another official, for example, the deputy envoy of the Jiangzhou Mansion.

At that time, you will be able to recruit 1,000 soldiers in a grand manner.

Add in your personal guards, and that's fifteen hundred.

When the time comes, you will be able to fight back against pirates. Tie Wenjing said.

"I have brought this official seal, and I have already asked the court for approval." With a wave of his hand, Master Qin brought a box, and when he opened it, there was an official seal inside.

"Because you are a first-class uncle, the court agreed. Otherwise, donating is not enough. Tie Wenjing said.

"The court has certain preferential treatment for those who have a lord, and they can donate silver to buy officials. Of course, it also depends on what official position it is, such as regimental training envoys and pacification envoys. Master Qin said.

"It's just some idle errands, of course the court agreed." Tang Wen responded.

"I can't say that, although I am all idle, but you, the deputy envoy of the regiment, have the power to recruit local soldiers.

When the time comes, it will be in line with the court rules to give you some guns.

For example, firecrackers and black-clad cannons. Of course, we can give you some of these things.

However, when you go to the foundry of the court to withdraw the silver, you have to pay it yourself. Master Qin said.

"That's okay, but the Jiangzhou Mansion regimental training envoy is Lord Qin.

All the expenses of my soldiers are from the Tang family, including food and clothing.

Therefore, the court cannot transfer my soldiers casually. Otherwise, wouldn't my Tang family train soldiers for the court in vain?

Of course, for example, encountering pirates and bandits attacking Koh Samui is our duty.

I raised them to keep Koh Samui safe.

Koh Samui is safe, and when the time comes, we will be able to free up time to open up the wasteland, grow grain and beans, and we will pay more taxes, which is also to contribute to the court.

Even, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and it has also solved some local troubles for Jiangzhou Government, right? Tang Wen said.

"This Lord Tang, don't worry, Jiangzhou Mansion will not transfer your people no matter how difficult it is.

Our Jiangzhou is the main city of a province, and there are more than a dozen battalions of the Guangshui Division in the garrison, plus dozens of battalions in the Great Chu Army.

There are also several battalions of the elite black cavalry battalion of the imperial dynasty, plus the local soldiers who are captured quickly, no less than 150,000.

Lord Tang, you have one or two thousand people, hehe, Qin Botong, I won't come to fight Lord Tang's autumn wind. Qin Botong said with a little contempt.

"There is no basis for words, but words are evidence!" Tang Wencai doesn't care about him, in black and white, there is still an official document as the standard.

"This official document can be established, but since Lord Tang is the deputy envoy of the regiment training of the first government, he also has to contribute some strength to the Jiangzhou Mansion. Therefore, if there is a pirate attack in the surrounding island waters, Lord Tang is the deputy envoy of the regimental training, should he send soldiers to exterminate it? Qin Botong said.

"Around, how big is the surroundings, this has to have an approximate range, right?" Tang Wen asked, can he not be fooled by Qin Botong.

Speaking of Dali, the entire sea area of Jiangzhou Prefecture can be said to be around Koh Samui, and this thief ship cannot be on it casually.

"About sixty miles around Koh Samui." Master Qin said.

"This range is not small, and the range of Jiangzhou Mansion is estimated to be about 200 miles from east to west, north and south.

My defense area is actually sixty miles, hehe, can anyone do this?

Also, the court doesn't give money and food, and my Tang family has to pay for it, which is embarrassing my Tang family. Tang Wen said with a smile.

"This is indeed a bit embarrassing for you, but you are the deputy envoy of the regiment training unlike others, and you have the power to recruit 2,000 local soldiers.

With the addition of four or five hundred guards, and the family nursing home, it can reach three thousand.

There are three thousand people, and if they are well equipped, they can be defended so-so. Qin Botong said.

"Well-equipped, that requires a large amount of silver, I have to be tired of running for my life, this regiment is a deputy envoy, even if you don't do it, you will be happy to be idle." Tang Wen said.

"Hehe, Lord Tang, actually, Lord Qin has already thought about it for you." Master Qin said with a smile.

"Oh?" Tang Wen looked at him.

"Because you have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders, this time, Lord Qin specially asked the court for his life.

Said that you are a first-class earl, and you are a donor of tents and money, and after receiving the tent this time, the army said that your tent is easy to use, and you have also exterminated a large number of pirates.

Therefore, the Sea Holy City Sect believes that you are up to the task.

Therefore, agree to make White Tiger Island your fiefdom. Master Qin said.

"White Tiger Island, where is it?" Tang Wen asked.

"Master, White Tiger Island is in front of our Samui Island on the left, and it is only five or six miles away from our Samui Island." At this time, Luo Yiwu said.

"The territory of that island is not small, it is comparable to Koh Samui. Back then, it took your Tang family ancestor a million taels to settle this Koh Samui Island. Master Qin said.

"White Tiger Island was proposed by the official, and the higher authorities promised to reward you. Therefore, there is no need for so much silver, you only need to pay 600,000 taels. Qin Botong said.

"White Tiger Island is a desert island, overgrown with man-eating trees and man-eating flowers, which is not suitable for human habitation at all. That kind of bird doesn't dare to go to the place where it, don't say 600,000 taels, no one wants 100,000 taels. Luo Yiwu said.

"How do you say that? The territory of that island is comparable to that of Koh Samui, and Lord Tang can reclaim Koh Samui, and I believe that he can also reclaim White Tiger Island.

Look at how beautiful your Wolong Lake will be once it is built.

I believe that the lord has the ability to build White Tiger Island well.

Then you will make a lot of money. Qin Botong said with a straight face.

"I'm sorry, Benjue doesn't have that ability." Tang Wen erected his head and said.

is like a mirror in his heart, what a bullshit title, the deputy envoy of the regimental training, is purely eyeing his own wallet to make money.

"Hehe, Lord Tang can't say that.

It's all for the court, and the war in the North and West has entered a fever pitch, and a large amount of money and grain is needed.

Otherwise, once the northwest is broken by the Great Qin State, the country will be in danger. Qin Botong laughed dryly and said.

"But you can't take me for a wrongful person! A friend has good wine, but if someone wants to treat me Tang Wen as a wronged person, then please do it, forgive Tang for not being able to entertain him. Tang Wen said angrily.

"It's impossible!" Qin Botong's face was blank and he said, "Lord Tang, giving you White Tiger Island is, of course, also to strengthen your defenses.

For the safety of Koh Samui, if the pirates are hiding on White Tiger Island, the danger to Koh Samui will increase.

Once White Tiger Island is your territory, you can send people to defend it, and then the pirates will also be killed.

Of course, the official knew that Lord Tang was not happy. Therefore, I also specially asked the above, and the above also approved.

It was decided to give the Mei Mansion located at No. 8 East Street in the provincial capital and Baihu Island as a fief to Lord Tang. ”

"The plum house covers a large area, there are 100 acres of land, and the east street of the provincial capital is a prosperous area of the provincial capital.

The plum house is facing the street, and as long as the wall of the house is pushed, it can be turned into dozens of storefronts.

At that time, just collecting rent for a year is not a small amount. Master Qin said to the side.

"How much silver do you need?" Tang Wen asked sarcastically.

"Together with White Tiger Island, a total of 800,000 taels." Master Qin said.
