"Oh, sir, you are finally back." Luo Yiwu stood up.

"Is something really wrong?" Tang Wen asked.

"That's a good thing." Zhuge Zangxiao smiled.

"Tell me." Tang Wen sat down on the sofa. Gu Hanyan heard Tang Wen's voice and ran down to make tea himself.

"The Kingdom of the Sun surrendered." Wen Jinyuan said with a smile.

"Surrender?" Tang Wen was stunned.

"It's not a surrender, it should be said to be a peace." Zhuge Zangxiao said again.

"Are we going to exchange hostages?" Tang Wen said.

"Yes! They returned several islands to our Da Chu.

Moreover, an armistice agreement was signed.

Master, the Tang family is safe now, there is no need to spend a lot of money to ask them for protection." Luo Yiwu said.

"I made a promise to someone else, and it's only for one year. There is no need to change this. By the way, since the other party has sued for peace, have the two first-class sword-carrying guards been transferred?" Tang Wen asked.

"Let's go!" Luo Yiwu nodded, "However, Chu Xiangluo has come to see you several times, as if something is wrong."

"I'll unload the things first and then go find him." Tang Wen nodded and unloaded a large amount of things.

I went to Turtle Island and unloaded seafood, pig heads, etc. These will have to wait until the next time I travel to the Star Fantasy Empire to take them away.

"Master, I bought twenty more ships and stopped this war. Isn't it a waste?" When he saw dozens of ships, Luo Yiwu shook his head in distress.

"Don't waste it, the necessary weapons and equipment are still needed.

Our Tang family must maintain a regular strength of 30,000 people at all times.

The battle has stopped, but the training cannot stop, and we must be ready for war at any time.

However, all those temporarily recruited must be put into production.

By the way, how is the business of Zhan Dongwen's Construction Hall now?" Tang Wen asked.

“It’s so hot, I can’t be busy at all.

In the past few days, Zhan Dongwen has been urging the young lady to find people, so they have recently received hundreds of business orders, all of which requested the construction of villas.

We are all rich people, and we can earn a million taels from a villa. But we just don’t have enough manpower," Luo Yiwu said.

“Yes, many people have come to our Koh Samui recently to check out our villa.

Zhan Dongwen built a dozen model villas of different styles. They were very satisfied with them and immediately paid the deposit.

This is just an order from our Linghai province. Once word spreads, people all over the country will place orders, and we will make a fortune." Wen Jinyuan said with a smile.

"Moreover, we recommended our Tang Bank to them, and many people saw the property and scale of our Tang family.

In addition, sir, you, the third-class Marquis of Zhenhai, have your gold-lettered signboard, so many merchants exchanged their silver for Tang coins issued by our Tang family.

Because it is so convenient to use Tang coins.

There were even people from the Yamen who came to exchange Tang coins." Luo Yiwu said.

“We need to vigorously promote this aspect so that customers will place orders in the future.

If you want to build a house or something, they are required to settle in Tang coins.

And, for example, if they don’t have enough funds to build a house, they can use the property as a mortgage to pay in installments..." Tang Wendao.

"Haha, sir, Mr. Wan has also brought us dozens of businesses." Luo Yiwu said with a smile.

"He has a wide reputation, that's so normal." Tang Wen said with a smile.

"No, dozens of yamen will be renovated across the province recently, ranging from county yamen to prefecture yamen, including some yamen in provincial capitals.

Mr. Wan felt that the brick and wood structure of the government office was not fireproof and would burn easily.

Therefore, this time, Zhan Dongwen Construction was also entrusted.

Zhan Dongwen showed them our new yamen model. Mr. Wan was very satisfied and immediately placed dozens of orders.

However, the profits of these yamen are not as much as those of wealthy people building villas." Luo Yiwu said.

"It's okay, no matter how small a mosquito is, it's still flesh.

In the beginning, we had to accept orders even if we didn’t make any money. After the promotion is spread, maybe all the yamen across the country will have to look to our Tang family to build their offices.

By then, haha, even the palace will have to be rebuilt by us." Tang Wen said with a smile.

"I think the construction team needs to be expanded." Zhuge Zangxiao said.

"Yiwu needs to speed up its recruitment process," Tang Wen said.

"Understood!" Luo Yiwu nodded.

"Hanyan, you cooperate with Zhan Dongwen to expand training classes, and we must train every construction worker to be qualified.

All newcomers to the advanced training class can only start work with a certificate after passing the training.

From now on, we will not accept anything without a certificate.

Now, those who have joined the construction team must also be trained and required to pass the certification test. Those who do not have the certification will be laid off or transferred.

From now on, the Tang family will no longer support idle people, and will pay everyone wages. Without wages, there will be no food.

I have issued the rules and regulations a long time ago, you have to organize everyone to study hard and understand the spirit..." Tang Wendao.

"In this case, wouldn't we be even more short of manpower?" Wen Jinyuan said.

"We have to carry out the work even if there is a shortage of people. If there is a shortage of people here, we will recruit people there and recruit them for training. From now on, a complete rule will be formed and cannot be broken." Tang Wendao.

Down below, Tang Wen began to be busy on various islands again, installing fans and expanding factories...

All the running around took Tang Wen a full month.

During this period, Chu Luoxiang did not come to urge him, but as soon as Tang Wen finished his work and rested for two days, Chu Luoxiang appeared.

"Teacher, can you do what you promised me now?" Chu Luoxiang asked straight to the point.

"Okay! When are you going to return to Beijing?" Tang Wen asked.

"Of course, the sooner the better. I heard that the three major colleges are recruiting people during this period, and the teacher is going, which is just in time." Chu Luoxiang said.

"Which college is Luo Daimei in?" Tang Wen asked.

"Royal Tiansheng Academy." Chu Luoxiang replied.

"What are the characteristics of Tiansheng Academy? How strong is it? Is it officially run?" Tang Wen was also a little curious.

"Of course, it was done directly by the royal family, and the royal family stands behind it.

However, it does not exclude civilians from enrolling. As long as you are talented enough, Tiansheng Academy will accept you.

Moreover, if you are an amazing genius, your tuition fee will be waived, and you will even be compensated with a certain amount of silver each month.

Tiansheng Academy has strong abilities in all aspects. Unlike Wusheng Academy, which is particularly outstanding in martial arts, it is a little behind in terms of literacy.

The Lingsheng Academy is also very unique. They learn talismans, and their attack weapons are also talismans. I heard they are called spiritual talismans.

Moreover, I don’t know the details of the research on various types of weapons, because I am not interested in talismans and prefer to go straight.

Tiansheng Academy is relatively balanced in all aspects, including talent, culture, martial arts, and even some talismans.

However, martial arts and fu studies are not as strong as the other two academies.

Therefore, Tiansheng Academy is suitable for officials, Wusheng Academy is suitable for generals, and Lingsheng Academy is suitable for charlatans, alchemists, mechanism manufacturers, etc.

Of course, they are also needed in the military, including the major yamen.

Moreover, Lingsheng Academy also practices martial arts, because true energy is the basis for drawing talismans. Without true energy, the drawn talisman will have no power.

In turn, drawing talismans can also promote the progress of martial arts.

Their cultivation method has something to do with drawing talismans..." Chu Luoxiang said.

"This is a strange talisman. How come I haven't seen anyone use it before?" Tang Wen said.

"I have a few here. Others gave them to me when I came out. If the teacher needs them, I will give them to you." Chu Luoxiang said and took out a few things from the void bag.

Tang Wen took it and took a look, "It seems to be made of sheepskin."

"Yes! Not only can the talismans be drawn on special paper, but they can also be drawn on sheepskin, cowhide, and pigskin.

Even, beast skin, and the longer the animal skin lives, the more powerful the talisman made.

After all, if your true energy is instilled into the skin, the skin will explode if it cannot bear it.

Like the flying beasts raised by your Tang family, if their skins are used to make spiritual explosion talismans and then pass through the hands of high-level talisman masters.

When it explodes, it will not be any less powerful than a few of your Tang family grenades exploding together, and even a strong person in the human realm will be killed by the explosion." Chu Luoxiang said.

"How to use it?" Tang Wen asked.

"Pour in the true energy, throw it out and it will explode." Chu Luoxiang said.

"Try it outside." Tang Wen said with a smile, and the two of them chose a remote area.
