Chapter 181: What a brilliant move (1)
“Six taels a month.” Tang Wen said. “I’ll consider it. ” Luo Kai glanced at head guard Wang, probably feeling a little embarrassed. He was a scholar, after all, so he cared about his reputation. “Failed? What’s going on?” That night, when the moon was high in the sky, Ximen taigao was very surprised to receive Su Xin’s report. “That kid is too good at buying people’s hearts.” Su Xin said angrily. “Isn’t head guard Wang your relative?” Li Liufeng said. “When head guard Wang started talking, people started listening, but it was all because of old master Luo.” Su Xin said. Old master Luo is a scholar. He can’t possibly help Tang Wen.” Wang haiting snorted. “But old master Luo is an upright man. He was fooled by Tang Wen after seeing the title deed. Then, he spoke up for Tang Wen and gave him money. He bought a few hundred people on the spot and even hired a few hundred short – term workers. ” Su Xin said. “In this world, how many people can resist the temptation of silver?” Ximen taigao frowned. “That kid actually knows how to treat illnesses. Hero Yu was not convinced at the time. In the end, he operated the knife on the spot and took out the hook in hero Yu’s leg. It’s too magical. It’s said that even the miracle doctor of ocean sacred city couldn’t do anything about it. The most amazing thing was that Tang Wen used a knife to cut his flesh, but great hero Yu didn’t feel any pain at all and even talked to him. He almost scared us to death. Later, everyone believed it at first glance. Li cuihua had taken her mother to see a doctor. Also ... It seemed like he had found the right illness. The illness that had not been cured seemed to have been immediately cured. As a result, many people in the town went to Tang Wen for treatment. At that time, I wanted to organize a second group of people to cause trouble, but in the end, not many people were willing to go. They all said that what would happen if he were to see a doctor after offending Lord Tang? Some even said that they wouldn’t be able to earn money if they had nothing to do in the future. Some people are even afraid that we’ll cut off their source of income and oppose us going. “In this case, we still managed to gather a few hundred people for the second finger. However, it was of no use. They were all scared away by Huo Gu. Moreover, this group of people was scolded after they returned. Some people even said that if they dared to cause trouble again, they would be beaten to death or something. I don’t think there’s any hope for the people. ” Su Xin was dejected. “The key is that Tang Wen’s method is brilliant. You see, he gave a lot of silver. Secondly, he was afraid that others would not believe him. He would give the money when he signed the contract. He was not afraid that he would take the money and run away. In addition, great hero Yu’s leg injury was a good example, and it played a role in adding fuel to the fire. This person is quite bold. ” Wang haiting said. “Isn’t it? There were a few hundred of them who had sold themselves, but they were paid a few thousand taels of silver on the spot. In addition to the long – term workers, he had been paid about ten thousand taels in the morning. That person was too rich. If we hire them to sail the ship, we won’t be able to return that much. ” Su Xin said. “They can’t catch that many fish, so they’d better go work in the Tang family’s workshop. Our plan will fail. ” Wang haiting said. “Does a limestone workshop need so many people? If the entire town went there, there would be at least tens of thousands of young and strong people. One to three taels a month for each person, that would be tens of thousands of taels. Can Tang Wen afford it in the long run?” Ximen taigao sneered. “That’s true. Moreover, our heavenly Rock Island is over a hundred li away from the continent. How much can we earn from limestone? He would definitely make a loss. It was impossible for him to hire ten thousand people. He might fool everyone first, but he won’t do it in the future. ” The sixth elder, ding kongqiu, said. “The Tang family definitely opened a workshop to make money, so it’s impossible for them to lose money. With this calculation, it was certain that they couldn’t hire that many people. Also, their wages would definitely be reduced in the future. Otherwise, we’ll have to pay tens of thousands of taels a month. Let’s see who’s the one who’ll win. At that time, the money given to us is not as good as the money given to us to do odd jobs, and the people will not work. At that time, they will make a fuss. ” Ning Xiaotian nodded. “Right! Waste time with him!” Qiu Yanchun nodded her head. “What’s the fuss about? let’s just go over and chase them away.” Lin weitian said. “There’s no rush, let’s wait and see. In any case, his workshop is dozens of miles away from our encampment, not to mention that they still have two experts in our hands. What’s the rush?” Ximen taigao shook his head. “Master, we’ve already captured the location of their base with the drone.” At this moment, Gu hanyan came in hurriedly. “Let me see.” Tang Wen inserted the USB into the computer and turned it on. “The encampment they chose is very beautiful and the scenery is mesmerizing. No wonder they don’t want to move. It seems that they have a good eye. ” Tang Wen said as he watched the video. “It’s said that it’s been almost a hundred years since they moved here.” Luo Yiwu said. “Look, there’s a huge dock not far from their station, and there are quite a number of ships. I’ve asked around, they make a living by sea. ” Yan Beitian said. “Hehe, there’s even a cannon. It should be used to defend against Pirates.” Tang Wen pointed at the cannon and laughed. “There are quite a few black – robed cannons, about thirty to forty of them. There should be quite a number of handguns as well.” Luo Yiwu said. “Their terrain is dangerous, it’s a Great Rift Valley. There were cliffs on both sides that were thousands of meters high. It was impossible to attack from the cliff, so it was not good to let a large number of people go down. The mouth of the river had shrunk to a width of a hundred meters, and there were cannons on both sides. The cannons in black will guard the entrance of the river, and no one will be able to enter. ” Yan Beitian said. “Master, the mining of the limestone has already started. Once the factory is built, we can start work.” Zhan dongwen entered and said. “Dongwen, mine a portion of it first and transport it over for storage. This includes clay, quartz sand, iron powder, or steel slag, and so on. Prepare them all. Once the factory is built, start work. “However, you’ll also have to split a portion of your people to drive the road. Otherwise, how are we going to transport the cement to the sea?” Tang Wen said. “Then we’ll have to open a path directly to the town’s Pier. It’s estimated to be about ten miles.” Zhan dongwen said with a nod. “Oh right, but I think that dock is mainly used to dock fishing boats. It was not big enough, not long enough. He still had to tidy it up, make it bigger and thicker, and make it more secure. After all, our cement is very heavy, and our ship will be very long and big in the future. The low tide also affected this side. You didn’t see that there were two at their Pier, and the one above was more than ten meters above the water. They had originally used the pier above, but when the tide ebbed, the upper Pier was too high from the water surface and could not be used, so they had to build a Pier below. However, once the low tide disappeared, the sea water would rise and drown the pier below. Therefore, the dock was only temporarily used. It could only be used once every few years, which was only a few months. We’ll focus on building the dock above, so you’ll have to do it according to the deep – Water port construction drawings we gave you. Once the once – in – a – years great low tide is gone and the sea level rises, we won’t be able to build anymore. ” Tang Wen said. “Master, if we use this place as our cement base in the future, won’t we need to buy a lot of ships?” Luo Yiwu asked. “I’ll definitely need it in the future, but I don’t need it for now. ” Tang Wen shook his head. “Why not? the cement factory was built in a few days. It will probably start production in about ten days. At that time, we don’t have a boat, so how are we going to transport it?” Luo Yiwu asked in confusion. “Why don’t we have a ship? isn’t Cloud Sea sect involved in the sea trade?” Tang Wen smiled. “Find Cloud Sea sect? We can’t get along with them, how could they be willing to?” Yan Beitian was stunned and asked.
