Chapter 300: The Servant of the Political Envoy
"Wait for tomorrow Wan Hansong's matter to be resolved, and report it to the Six Fan Division of the Sea Holy City. At that time, the new accounts and the old accounts will be counted together. Tang Wen said gloomily.
Soon, the cup shrunk and flew back.
"You're doing well, I'll catch some poison for you to eat in a few days." Tang Wen said with a smile.
The four guys, naturally, were all bitten down by the cup king.
I heard the old man say that this cup king was handed down by his master.
He has been cultivating for a hundred years, and with his master's hands, this little guy is estimated to have lived for nearly two hundred years.
Even if Juyuan Realm is bitten, you have to cry your father and call your mother, and you have to be injured if you are not careful.
Of course, if there is a defense, then it is another matter, Tang Wen feels that it is a must-kill weapon for sneak attacks.
Wan Hansong was very punctual, waiting outside at five o'clock in the morning, so a group of people went straight to Koh Samui on horseback.
The deck of the Samui Bridge has been watered for a few days, and the ground has hardened and is ready for traffic.
When he saw the Sumy Bridge, which was nearly 20 meters wide, Wan Hansong's shock was not to mention, and the popular villain was amazed.
He got off his horse and walked and knocked again, "It doesn't seem like a stone?" ”
"Of course not, it's called cement, and it has to be reinforced with steel rods in the middle, which are all Western products." Tang Wendao.
"The materials for such a large bridge have to be transported back from the West, so how much silver does it cost?" Li Jingyuan asked with a look of amazement.
"Of course, it is impossible to bring all the cement back from the West, the cement is produced by my own workshop, and the gravel is made by myself, only the steel is transported back from the West." Tang Wen shook his head and said.
"That's not a big deal, this bridge will cost at least a few million taels." Wan Han Song Road.
"That's just as well." Tang Wen nodded.
When I walked to the bridge, I found a huge excavator digging the road, "What is this, Iron Horse?" ”
"Excavators, a type of iron horse." Tang Wendao.
"It should also be transported back from the West, even the Gongsun family of our Chu State can't get it." Wan Hansong touched his beard and said.
"Of course." Tang Wen replied.
"It's so powerful, such a big stone will break as soon as it is dug down, and it is estimated that it has tens of thousands of catties of strength." Li Jingyuan said.
"This iron horse is even more powerful, it can actually break stone? It's a big tooth. Wan Hansong has become an ignorant child, everything he sees is novel, and he doesn't ask questions.
"Lord Wan, we don't ride horses." Tang Wendao.
"If you don't ride a horse, you can't walk. Didn't I hear that you are still twenty miles away from Wolong Lake? How long does that have to go? Wan Hansong was stunned and asked.
"Let's take the iron horse." Tang Wen smiled and opened the car door. This is a Maybach SUV, the ultra-luxurious kind.
Wan Hansong sat in with a confused face, touching and pinching, "It's so soft." ”
At this time, Wen Jinyuan started the car, and the car began to start, Wan Hansong was startled, "What an iron horse, can you actually run?" ”
"It's called a car, and you won't get tired after a day of running." Tang Wen said with a smile.
"How far can you run in a day?" Wan Hansong asked.
"Thousands of miles, however, it depends on the road conditions, if the road is not smooth, it will not be able to drive." Tang Wendao.
"I think the official road can be opened if it is a little smoother." Li Jingyuan said.
"Hehe, when I have money in the future, I will widen and level the official road from Koh Samui to the provincial capital, and then I can open it to Yamen. When the time comes, send one to ten thousand adults. Tang Wen said with a smile.
When he saw the huge Wolong Lake, Wan Hansong was shocked again.
"Your dam is well built, and there are houses on it. However, what is the iron gate under this dam for? ”
"Sometimes the water is too big, and when the flood comes, you have to open the gate to release the flood, otherwise, the houses above will be flooded." Tang Wendao.
"How can such a heavy iron gate be opened, and there is still water in the lake pressing, I'm afraid that hundreds of warriors won't pull it together." Li Jingyuan asked.
"No, we'll use the mechanism to drive it." Tang Wen said, telling Zhan Dongwen to open the gate and release the water.
Suddenly, water gushed out, splashing a column of water more than twenty meters high. Listening to the rumbling sound of water, Wan Hansong's shock is needless to say.
Below, Tang Wen took him to experience the public toilet, see the cafeteria, and the bedroom......
Wan Hansong was actually shocked by the electric light, and pressed the switch repeatedly, "It's good, it's good, Westerners will really enjoy it." Sir, can you help me put one on? ”
"This thing needs electricity, and you don't have electricity over there. However, it's okay to install a few lights for you, which can be battery powered. There is also this bathroom, which can also be installed for you. Tang Wendao.
"That's a lot of work." Wan Hansong arched.
Soon, several people entered the cultivation tower.
Wan Hansong and Li Jingyuan were both stunned, and took a deep breath, "Such a powerful aura, where did it come from?" ”
"The array formed by the spirit stones on the wall gathered, and it used to take half a year to cultivate before it could advance to the first level.
Cultivating in this cultivation tower, a low-level martial artist can advance to the next level in a month.
High-level martial artists can also advance to the next level in two or three months with the elixir. Tang Wendao.
Wan Hansong sat down cross-legged with Li Jingyi, tried it, and was amazed.
"It's a pity." Wan Hansong walked out of the tower with a shocked face.
"Hehe, I can set up a spirit gathering array for Lord Wan, and place it in the basement where you are cultivating. At that time, Wan Daren can also enjoy the happiness of rapid promotion. Tang Wendao.
"No wonder the lord was promoted so quickly, just because of it." Wan Hansong said with a smile.
"A year ago, many of my subordinates only had five or six grades, but now it's been a year, and they have all been promoted to three grades." Tang Wendao.
"With such a cultivation tower, it is unreasonable for them not to advance to the third grade." Li Jingyuan nodded.
Walking to the other two bridges, Wan Hansong's popular villain was shocked again, "The lord has built three bridges at the same time, which requires more than 20 million taels, a lot of money." ”
"Lord Wan has won the prize, but my Tang family's business will get bigger and bigger, and I can provide my Tang family with everything they need, this is not bragging." Tang Wen looked modest.
"The master has already done it, this cultivation tower is shared, and all the children of the Tang family have the opportunity to enter and cultivate.
There are clothes to wear, food to eat, and the lord also pays money every month.
As a Don family, I am very proud. "Luo Yi Wudao.
"Master, like me Zhan Dongwen reborn my parents, I used to be a victim of the disaster who was so hungry that I had nothing to eat.
But now, I still have a few hundred taels of silver every month, all of which was brought to me by my lord.
Without my lord, I would have starved to death. So, the lord is our everything. Zhan Dong Wendao.
"Dongwen, all this is for you to enjoy. It's been a hard year for you. Tang Wendao.
"Where's your soldiers?" Wan Hansong asked.
"We'll have to take a boat, but the water isn't deep enough, so we'll have to take a boat first." Tang Wendao, so, several people got on a small wooden boat, and soon got on the speedboat.
"This ship seems to be made entirely of iron?" Wan Hansong knocked and struck, making a dangdang sound.
"Indeed, my ships are all iron. Therefore, there is an advantage in the first place to fight. Tang Wen said with a smile.
"It's running so fast that no one is rowing?" Li Jingyuan looked curious about the baby's appearance.
"There is a mechanism in it, you don't need someone to draw it, you just need to take the helm." Tang Wen said with a smile.
Wan Hansong and Li Jingyi studied again, and soon saw more than a dozen large ships.
"Is this iron-clad or all-iron?" Wan Hansong asked after boarding the ship.
"It's steel, much harder than iron." Tang Wendao.
"How much silver does it cost to ship such a heavy one?" Li Jingyuan asked curiously.
"This kind is not big, plus about two million taels of cannons and guns on the ship, if it is four or five million taels big." Tang Wendao.
"The lord's net worth is really amazing, just these ten or so ships are worth 20 million taels.
If you add the iron horses on Koh Samui, etc., and the three bridges, all the lord's net worth is almost hundreds of millions of taels, right?
Although it is not comparable to the Shen family, it can be squeezed into the top twenty in Linghai. Li Jingyuan said.
"How much money does the Shen family have?" Tang Wen was also curious.
"Real estate, real estate, real estate firms, Qianzhuang mines, etc., are estimated to be no less than five or six billion taels, and the Shen family is rich enough to rival the country." Wan Hansong touched his chin and said.
"Do we have a tax empowerment of 5 billion taels a year?" Tang Wen asked.
"Hehe, the imperial court tax plus the total amount of the local government is about 10 billion taels per year.
At the peak of our dynasty, the treasury had 50 billion taels of silver.
It's just that that splendor is no longer there. In particular, in the past few years, disasters have continued, wars have broken out again, and the treasury has been empty, and even the officials' salaries are almost impossible to distribute. ”
Wan Hansong sighed, glanced at the ship, and said, "Although your ship is very strong, sir, once the enemy gets closer, it will have to fight hand-to-hand and bloody, and it will depend on the strength of the soldiers." ”
"Close? Hehe, it's unlikely. Tang Wen said with a smile.
"What's not the same? The sea breeze together, the power of the sails.
Coupled with the efforts of dozens of oarsmen on board, their boat speed is not slow.
You can rush thirty miles in half an hour, and you can't stop it if you want to. Wan Hansong shook his head and said.
"My cannon from the West is different from our Chu domestic cannon." Tang Wen shook his head and said.
"What's the difference, I also looked at it carefully just now, and the workmanship is more exquisite. Even, it's not as heavy as our big Chu's cannon. Wan Han Song said.
"What's the use of heavy guns, they have to be light to move." Tang Wen shook his head.
"You don't understand this, it's only stable when you hit it hard, and the impact is also strong and more powerful." Wan Hansong touched his beard and said in an old-fashioned manner.
"Elder Simon, give a show to Lord Wan." Tang Wendao.
"Good!" Ximen Taigao gave an order, and the rotating chassis under the cannon began to rotate, blasting towards a fishing boat eight or nine miles away, and suddenly, the fishing boat was blown up.
"Huh? Your cannons are much more powerful. Wan Hansong was stunned.
"The fishing boat just now is close to ten miles away from us, and our Da Chu's boat can't hit it so far.
Moreover, the shells are more powerful.
If a fishing boat like this could have used three or four of Da Chu's shells, the lord's shells would have been sunk by one. Li Jingyuan nodded.
"Drive at full speed and run a lap to show the adults." Tang Wen said again, Ximen Taigao gave an order, and the gunboat quickly sailed into the distance, and the water splashed in the stern.
was so shocked that Li Jingyuan lost his color, and exclaimed again and again, "Hurry, so fast, too fast." ”
"How many miles can the ship of the Sun Country thieves run in an hour?" Tang Wenxiao asked.
"The strength of the wind and the power of the oarsmen can run about fifty or sixty miles in an hour." Li Jingyuan said.
"Master Wan, Master Li, how many miles can your boat run in an hour?" Tang Wenxiao asked.
"Fast, really fast, I guess I can run as fast as the two of them." Wan Hansong nodded.
"Of course, my ship can run a hundred and fifty miles in an hour.
If I were to run, they wouldn't be able to catch up.
Moreover, my artillery has a greater range, and we have blown up their ship when their guns have not been able to reach our ship.
If they get close, my firecracker isn't vegetarian.
Because, the range of my firecracker is also two or three times that of theirs. Tang Wendao.
