"I'm referring to the bridge. We have stone crushers, sand crushers, cranes, etc., which can save a lot of labor.
You build the bridge based on labor and horses, but we are different.
If we build a bridge, 30% of their silver is enough.
Therefore, even if three bridges are built, it will only cost three to four million taels of silver.
And our Tang family now has several thousand people, and we can still afford it if we start work at the same time." Tang Wendao.
"But Divine Turtle Island is not ours." Ge Ziyun said.
"Haha, if it's not ours, we can make it ours.
Moreover, Turtle Island is also a desert island, so it should not cost much money to win it.
Luo Yiwu, please immediately arrange for people to find out who the owner of Divine Turtle Island is?" Tang Wen said with a smile.
"Master, do you really want to build it?" Luo Yiwu was dumbfounded.
"Of course! The opportunity is rare. Once the tide rises, we will have to wait for countless years." Tang Wen said.
"Okay, the master has decided, we will do it." Luo Yiwu said helplessly.
"We're worried that we won't be able to eat. By then, all three bridges will be half-built, which would be a pity," Ge Ziyun said.
"Master, I know these things well, and we won't move if we can't eat them. Master, I never fight a battle that I'm not sure about, so don't worry," Tang Wen said.
In two days, Zhan Dongwen arranged for people to determine the location of the bridge head, and then arranged for a large number of people to level the land and set up tents.
Tang Wen traveled back to Yunhai City, but he didn't stay too long.
According to the gold price that day, the 300,000 taels of gold brought back were sold for 3 billion. After getting rid of the miscellaneous items, there were still 2.6 billion left.
1.8 billion bought 6 million taels of silver ingots, and the remaining 7.8 billion directly called Zhao Jiang over and told him to purchase a large amount of reinforced concrete and some equipment for bridge construction.
Because he was preparing to start construction of the three bridges at the same time, Tang Wen had to purchase a batch of heavy-duty trucks, forklifts, cranes, excavators, gravel and sand crushers and other equipment.
Tang Wen is not worried about controlling these equipment, because in the past seven or eight months, Zhan Dongwen, the head of the construction hall, has trained a group of experienced drivers.
These ancient people all have the eighth or ninth level, and their skills are more flexible than modern people.
The strength is also greater, and the durability and endurance are beyond the reach of ordinary modern drivers.
Through the literacy efforts of Gu Hanyan and others, some of these ancients have bid farewell to illiteracy and can recognize more than 2,000 to 3,000 commonly used Chinese characters.
Therefore, these simple mechanical equipment operating instructions converted into seal script can also be understood. It has been ten days since I finished all this.
Next, Tang Wen entered neighboring Afghanistan and purchased a batch of bulletproof vests and bulletproof helmets from the underground arms market.
After all, if they place another order with the Dadong Commonwealth War Dragon Gate, it will definitely arouse their suspicion.
This batch of goods from the underground arms black market in Afghanistan is slightly inferior to the goods from Zhanlongmen, but it comes from Russia, the world's military power.
There are even some high-end American products, which are said to have been abandoned by the American army after they withdrew.
This batch of goods was top quality. After the transfer, Tang Wen went to Song Qingyang's tool company.
"Mr. Tang, after comprehensive laboratory analysis and repeated experiments, we have produced several samples of the sword you sent. Can you see if it meets your standards?" Song Qingyang took Tang Wen directly into the tool laboratory.
Tang Wen casually pulled out a knife and found that the workmanship even surpassed the level of the master craftsmen in Xuanwu City.
Probably because of the chrome plating and polishing, the knife looks more refined and beautiful, and it looks like the cold shadow is reflected.
He exerted force, and immediately, a three-inch-long light yellow sword aura emerged from the tip of the knife.
Tang Wen made a stroke towards the wooden table, and immediately, a deep mark appeared, which was really deep in the ground.
That was what made Song Qingyang dumbfounded and he said awkwardly, "This... this knife is so sharp?"
"Sword sharpness is one thing, but can you do it?" Tang Wen asked with a smile, pointing to the three points buried in the ground.
"Of course that's impossible." Song Qingyang shook his head.
"This requires the blessing of inner energy. This knife is close to the top grade, but it has not yet fully reached the top grade. It is only considered to be the best among the middle grade." Tang Wen said.
"Unfortunately, our company's capabilities are limited and we cannot fully test the ingredients of the high-grade sword you gave us. However, even so, the cost of making a sword of this level is quite high," Song Qingyang said.
"How much does it cost?" Tang Wen asked.
"Brother Tang, we are old friends, and you have brought a lot of benefits to my company.
I won’t hide it from you. If you want it, it will cost you 180,000 yuan.
After all, what it needs is aviation materials, which are all good materials and cannot be mixed with a trace of inferior materials.
Moreover, it requires hundreds of steps to complete, which is too complicated.
Otherwise, the sword will become useless." Song Qingyang said.
"Haha, 150,000 yuan, don't argue with me." Tang Wen smiled.
"Brother, are you bargaining too hard? One hundred and fifty thousand is not enough." Song Qingyang said.
"I can only say that your brother earns a little less, and I need a lot.
Moreover, we will continue to purchase in the future, which can cost hundreds of millions of dollars." Tang Wen said with a smile.
"How much?" Song Qingyang asked.
"The first batch will be five thousand," Tang Wen said.
"If there are five thousand, then I will make small profits but quick turnover, and earn some hard-earned money. Forget it, we are old friends, 150,000 is 150,000." Song Qingyang nodded with a heartbroken look on his face.
"How long will it take to get it done?" Tang Wen asked.
"Brother, if you are in need, I will ask the workers to work overtime and work day and night. We should be able to produce more than a hundred pieces a day and we should be able to get it out in a month." Song Qingyang said.
"Okay, I'll pick up the goods in a month." Tang Wen said.
After walking out of the tool company, Tang Wencai called Zhang Chongjing, the seventh master who runs a civil and military school.
"Mr. Tang, you gave me a hard time looking for him. I kept calling you and you were never in the service area. Have you gone into seclusion to practice again?" Zhang Chongjing said with a smile.
"I'm preparing medicine, I don't want anyone to disturb me," Tang Wen replied.
"How many are allocated?" Zhang Chongjing asked.
"Quite a few." Tang Wen said.
"That's good, my senior brother is here and he wants to see you." Zhang Chongjing said.
"Your senior brother?" Tang Wen was stunned.
"How about you come to my martial arts studio?" Zhang Chongjing asked.
"Okay, I'll be right over." Tang Wen replied and headed straight to the 'Qingcheng Martial Arts Gym'.
After entering the martial arts hall, Tang Wen saw a middle-aged Taoist priest with a long and thin face. He was wearing a green Taoist robe, black thick-soled cloth shoes, and a tuft of beard under his chin. He looked somewhat immortal.
"Mr. Tang, this is my senior brother Wan Yixing." Zhang Chongjing introduced him as soon as he saw Tang Wen come in.
"Hello, Taoist Master." Tang Wen greeted.
"Haha, heroes have been born since ancient times." If Yi Xing touched his beard and extended his hand, Tang Wen would not be rude and would extend his hand and give him a handshake.
Suddenly I felt a pain in my hand, damn! You actually want to test my skills?
Tang Wen secretly grasped the hand behind his back and thrust it through his five fingers. Suddenly, his fingers tightened like iron claws.
"Yeah." Wan Yixing was in pain, but he didn't dare to scream out, so he grunted in pain.
That was to quickly destroy the power and energy in order to catch Tang Wen. However, if he could not reach the sixth level of perfection, he would not be as powerful as Tang Wen.
As a result, he humiliated himself.
"I've been taught a lesson." Wan Yi Xing knew he had met an expert and said quickly, fearing that he would be completely broken.
"Hahaha, senior brother, you still don't believe what I said, but now you know how terrible the future is?" Zhang Chongjing laughed, with a look of happiness and misfortune on his face.
After all, it was his senior brother who always bullied him. It was unreasonable to feel unhappy when he saw his senior brother being defeated today.
"Taoist Master will soon enter the fifth level, not bad, not bad." Tang Wen smiled and let go of his hand.
