Next door! Do you want to open an instant noodle chain in another world?
Big buckets of Master Li's braised beef noodles from Dadong Republic cost at most three or four yuan in wholesale. Ordinary stores sell them for five yuan per bucket, but they only sell for 15 yuan at the airport.
The wholesale price of one tael of silver can buy fifty or sixty barrels, which is equivalent to twenty copper plates per barrel of instant noodles.
Here you can get one penny, five or six times the profit, huge profits...
Gulu!
Just as he was thinking about it, Zhan Dongwen made a strange noise, as if he was swallowing saliva. Tang Wen was stunned and asked with a smile, "Do you want to eat too?"
"No, no, no, I won't eat, I won't eat." Zhan Dongwen was obviously duplicitous because there was still a lot of saliva in his mouth when he said this.
"There are five people in your family, take five packets." Tang Wen took out five more packets.
"No, no, no," Zhan Dongwen said in denial, but his hand took it quite honestly.
"Haha, why are you so polite to me? Dong Wen, your sister is my personal slave. Actually, I don't treat her as a slave. I, Tang Wen, regard you as a brother." Tang Wen said with a smile.
"The master thinks highly of my sister, and she is lucky to be able to serve him. The master saved my father and gave us food and clothing. You are the benefactor of my Zhan family." Zhan Dongwen said with a grateful face.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore.
Zhan Dong, send two or three more people to Yanling County to inquire about the war in the northwest.
We also need to inquire about the horses, grain and grass prices in Yanling County, etc.," Tang Wen said.
"What do you want me to do by asking about this?" Zhan Dongwen asked in confusion.
"We need to keep abreast of some useful information. If it is useful to us, just send someone to do it. Give him some money to stay in an inn and make friends with some people." Tang Wen said.
"Isn't this a spy?" Zhan Dongwen blurted out.
"This is called a spy. Where do spies come from? For example, why does the imperial court have special spies? This is their function." Tang Wen said.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, hundreds of trees were brought back.
Tang Wen personally directed and sawed the trees into five-meter-high sections.
The bark was peeled off, then cement was poured into the dug hole, and the tree was inserted into the cement.
These trees are as thick as basins, cut every five meters.
After working until night, all the trees were inserted into the tree holes. Tomorrow, once the cement is dry, the barbed wire can be tied.
Not a single worker was recruited today, so Zhan Dongwen and the others were a little anxious.
Tang Wen was not anxious at all. He was betting that the victims would not be able to hold on for a few days.
Tang Wen, half of the day laborers who came today, paid them wages. However, they exchanged all their wages for rice and went home happily carrying the rice.
In the evening, Zhan Junru led Tang Wen into a tent with a smile.
When I looked inside, I was stunned.
More than twenty women were busy making clothes inside, including mother Liu Qingmei who was also busy inside.
Zhan Junru's mother, Li Lanyue, was in charge of cutting and had already cut a lot of clothing materials. The other women were in charge of needlework.
"I didn't expect that your mother is also a tailor, and she is very skilled in her skills." Tang Wen said with a smile.
"My mother used to be a tailor, and she was also a master.
In addition, more than half of these twenty-odd women can make clothes at home.
I'll teach the remaining few who don't know how to teach them. I believe they can get the credits in just a few days." Zhan Junru said with a slight look of embarrassment.
"Master, the scissors you gave are so useful. Otherwise, I wouldn't have cut so much in one day." Li Yuelan raised the big scissors given by Tang Wen and said. Of course, the casting level of the Great Chu Dynasty could not produce such good results.
Scissors.
"Mom, stop doing this, don't be tired." Tang Wen walked over and said to his mother.
"Nonsense, they are all doing it, how can I not do it? Wen'er, you go and do your business, we women are responsible for the clothes." Liu Qingmei said.
"Master, we didn't let the old lady do it. She insisted on coming to help. However, the old lady also gave us a lot of suggestions. The robes she suggested were much better-looking." Zhan Junru said with a smile.
Of course, you don’t have to look at her birth, noble lady...
Tang Wen felt a little embarrassed and said, "Jun Ru will be responsible for making clothes from now on.
We will also set up a clothing workshop in the future, not only to make clothes for ourselves to wear.
If you want to sell it to others to make money, just listen to her."
"Thank you, Master." Zhan Junru immediately smiled and was blessed. This was equivalent to Tang Wen giving her an official title.
"Jun Ru, your most important task is to make the master feel comfortable.
My mother will take care of things here, so you don't have to stay here all day.
When the time comes, if there is not enough fabric, I will come back and ask you for more, so hurry up and accompany the master." Li Lanyue said.
"Yes, Junru, you should just follow me. Don't worry as long as your mother is here. Just come over and take a look occasionally." Liu Qingmei said.
"Old madam, I know, I will make the master feel comfortable." Zhan Junru blurted out.
Suddenly, many women looked over, a little strange.
When Zhan Junru saw it, she immediately reacted and her face turned red.
Come on, don't mess around. I didn't do anything. When Tang Wen saw that he couldn't stay here for a long time, he ran away quickly.
"It's almost time to eat, I'll wait for you." Zhan Junru's face burned and she quickly ran away.
In the evening, Tang Wen was in a good mood and drank half a catty of Erguotou.
A little drunk, I called Zhan Dongwen, and Zhao Du and others walked along the lakeshore.
"Tongwen, look, how big is Wolong Lake?" Tangwen said, pointing to the lake which was only about one mile in size.
"The place where there are traces of water is the original range, which is about seven or eight miles, and the maximum will not exceed ten miles." Zhan Dongwen looked at it and said.
"Tell me, if we raise the dam below, will the scope of this lake be much larger?" Tang Wen said.
"Of course, the Tang family compound is still eight or nine meters away from the original highest water mark of the lake. The dam can be increased by five or six meters, and then the lake will be about fifteen or six miles away." Zhan Dongwen nodded.
.
"No, no, no, it needs to be higher.
By then, the height difference between the Tang family compound and the lake will be about one meter.
After the completion of the construction, Wolong Lake will be nearly 20 miles away, and we will live by the lake.
Raise fish in the lake, look at the clear lake water and watch the fish swimming every day.
Then plant lotus roots and watch the swaying lotus flowers, how refreshing it is." Tang Wen said.
"If we raise it another ten meters, the height of the dam will not be more than twenty meters.
It's so high that it's not easy to build stones.
If not, it will collapse, and it will leak easily, making it too difficult.
If you don't have hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, how can you get so much money?" Zhao Du interrupted.
"These are not problems. Let's take our time. When we have enough manpower, we will start building the dam. This is our biggest project on Koh Samui." Tang Wen said with a smile.
Just as he was talking, Sun Ping came over quietly and said, "Master, I have heard some more news."
"What did you hear?" Tang Ling asked.
"A victim named Liu Mu told some stories, saying that the mistress was called 'Gu Hanyan', who came from somewhere and brought thirty or forty people with her.
Later, after choosing a place, we hired people to dig out the abandoned fields for farming.
She has been here for nearly a year, and later someone saw that she was nice to people and joined the Gu family.
As a result, the number of people was close to two hundred.
However, they were also attacked by pirates.
From time to time, people were injured, and in half a year, about thirty people died.
Recently, Gu Hanyan became ill. He was very ill and seemed to be dying soon.
The Gu family was in chaos for a while, and the people below were also panicked.
Recently I heard that Mr. Tang is coming, and many people want to join Mr. Tang.
However, some people said bad things about Mr. Tang.
It was said that Mr. Tang asked to sell his body, and his wife and daughter would be occupied by Mr. Tang from now on. He also said that Mr. Tang bought people's hearts.
I'll give you some sweetness at first, but it will get worse later, and your life will be worse than death...
For a moment, the people brought by the Gu family were confused and didn't know what to do." Sun Ping said.
"There are more people than us, so it's a bit difficult to handle." Zhan Dongwen frowned.
"What are you afraid of? Leave this matter to me. I will lead people to defeat the Gu family." Zhao Du said with a domineering look.
"Wait a moment, give the porridge for a few more days, and add meat to the porridge tomorrow!
Once our barbed wire fence is pulled up and the camp is established, it will be safe.
We live happily, but I want to see how long the people brought by the Gu family can last?" Tang Wen sneered.
"Well, when the time comes, as long as someone is willing to come over, there will be two.
When more people from the Gu family came over, there would naturally be fewer people from her side.
At that time, we will go over to them to resolve the farm matter." Zhan Dongwen nodded.
At 8:30 in the evening, Tang Wen returned to the tent drunk.
