"Ding dong, you need to accumulate 200 popularity points next time to open it."
Two hundred people, it’s too difficult.
Therefore, as soon as Tang Wen landed, he told Bu Feng to select more people to station in Yanling County.
One is to inquire about information, and the other is to take in refugees and victims who have escaped from the war.
This was the first spy agency established by Tang Wen in another world. At that time, Zhan Dongwen asked him what his name was, and Tang Wen blurted out, "It's called War Fox."
Hehe, because the movie Wolf Warrior is so famous.
Bu Feng was the first leader of the War Fox Group, and he only had five or six subordinates.
During this trip, 8,000 taels of gold were sold for 96 million. Tang Wen used 40 million to buy back 200,000 taels of silver ingots, and the remaining 56 million were used to purchase supplies.
400 tons are cement, steel bars, special warfare training equipment, etc.
At this time, Sun Ping came to report that a large number of stones were found not far from the back mountain.
The rocks were covered with weeds and trees. They should be the rocks left behind when those people secretly dug the Tangjia silver mine.
These stones are all hard granite, which can be used to mix cement after being crushed with a stone crusher. This solves the big problem of raw materials for dam construction.
The last time Li Quan went to Yanling County to exchange silver for gold, someone seemed to be targeting him, so after this exchange, Tang Wen decided to put his plan to exchange gold for silver to make a profit for the time being.
Moreover, as the amount increases, we have to guard against being targeted by the special departments of the Dadong Republic.
For ten days, Tang Wen, Qiao Xiao and his gang picked a place and were busy installing special warfare training equipment.
For example, sand pits, fire walls, puddles, quagmire, grass, plum blossom piles, shooting ranges, drilling barbed wire...swings...
Of course, these are all facilities that do not need electricity to start, otherwise, there would be nothing to do.
Ge Ziyun was assigned to lead people to widen and tidy up the main roads on the island.
There are stone crushers and sand crushers working overtime, and more than a dozen flatbed wagons are used to transport them in turn, and they are also equipped with a medium-sized excavator and road roller.
Two hundred laborers worked hard, and the road was leveled and widened to about eight or nine meters. In addition, the ditches on both sides were nearly ten meters. The level was almost the same as the county road in China decades ago.
At that time, most county roads were only five or six meters wide and were entirely paved with gravel.
Cars can run, so what can't a horse-drawn carriage run?
After being fed, the victims of the disaster in Dachu State worked much faster and with greater strength than the handymen in modern society who eat meat and fish every day and have a few taels of white wine for dinner at night.
In addition, the gravel road has no technical content, so the progress is not slow, about four to five hundred meters were paved in one day.
At this rate, it will take one month to reach the stone bridge on the seaside.
If you want to be rich, you must first build a road. This road must be completed.
Otherwise, a large number of crops and other things produced on the island will not be able to be shipped out in the future.
A month has passed in the blink of an eye, the road has been repaired, and the construction of the Wolong Lake Dam is about to begin, which will require a lot of cement and steel bars.
It cost more than 30,000 taels to purchase horses, mules, elixirs, etc.
In the past two months, Tang Wen had not made a penny. He was sitting on his hands and feet, even if he had a wealth of gold and silver, he could not withstand the hardship.
However, Tang Wen has only recruited about 50 people in this month, which is still far from the target of 200 people that the 'Big Landlord System' has reopened.
Tang Wen was also a little anxious.
Just after returning to the station, Gu Hanyan came over and said, "Master, I have recovered now and can serve you."
"You must be unwilling in your heart?" Tang Wen looked at her and said.
"You have to do it willingly or not. I am not a person who doesn't make promises.
Since it was sold to the Tang family, she became the slave of the Tang family.
Master, there is nothing to worry about. I will do my duty as a slave and smoke.
I will never embarrass the master and lose my duty." Gu Hanyan said with an indifferent expression.
"Okay, later I will ask someone to divide the tent into three rooms. You, Junru and I will each have one room." Tang Wen nodded.
"Yeah." Gu Hanyan responded softly.
Down below, Tang Wen called a carpenter and divided the tent into three rooms with fireproof boards.
When you sleep in the middle, this is called "hugging you from one side to the other". Of course, it's just for sexual pleasure.
In the afternoon, Li Quan came back from Yanling County and brought back two hundred taels of gold.
"Master, this is from Miss Li Chun'er from Piaoxiang Building. She said that she has passed all three batches of goods given by the master. She asked if there are any more. If there are any more, ask me to send them over immediately." Li Quan took out a letter.
He handed it over and said.
Tang Wen took out the letter and read it, and found that it was a bill.
I was immediately shocked because I didn't expect that those mirrors, lipsticks, and perfumes were put through so quickly. They were all put through in more than two months.
At that time, those three batches of goods were all of inferior quality, and the cost only cost Tang Wen about 200,000 yuan. The two hundred taels of gold ingots could have been sold for more than 2 million yuan after traveling back to the Dadong Republic.
Ten times the profit is more huge than drug trafficking.
"Master, you don't know, Lord Yanling has been having a storm recently." Li Quan said with a smile.
"What kind of wind?" Tang Wen asked.
"Mirror style, perfume style, any respectable young lady or lady goes out.
If you don't smell of perfume, take out a small round mirror to comb your hair from time to time, scratch your head and pose.
Then you will be looked down upon and regarded as an inferior person.
So, for a time, small mirrors were everywhere in the city.
However, now that it is out of stock, many people are taking the opportunity to resell the mirror lipstick, and the price has doubled." Li Quan said.
"Is there such a thing?" Tang Wen was a little dumbfounded.
"It's absolutely true. I saw with my own eyes several official ladies showing off small round mirrors." Li Quan said.
"That's good, Li Quan. You can immediately bring someone to escort a batch to Li Chun'er, or sell it according to the old rules." Tang Wen said.
"Now that the price of mirror and perfume has increased, it's still the same price. Aren't we at a disadvantage?" Li Quan asked distressedly.
"It's okay. To do business in the long term, you have to give some small money to others. Small profits but quick turnover, we don't suffer any loss." Tang Wen took Li Quan into the warehouse and gave him all the remaining goods.
Of course, it's not that Tang Wen doesn't want to increase the price, he has to consider the affordability of the women in Yanling City.
The first batch of people who bought mirror lipstick were rich people. In the past, this batch was probably women from middle-class families.
These people just have enough to eat, and they have to scrape together just one or two and a half taels of gold, which is not easy.
If the price goes up, they won't be able to afford it, and it will become unsaleable, which is not conducive to sales development.
After all, Yanling City is just a county town, and Tang Wen's eyes are on Jiangzhou, the provincial capital.
There were more wealthy ladies and official wives there. The next day, the first step of construction of the Wolong Lake Dam Project began.
There is a Chaotian Peak in the center of Koh Samui, which is more than a thousand meters high.
The entire Chaotian Peak extends outwards, twenty or thirty miles long from east to west. Tang Wen is still unclear about the extent of the north and south extent. All the fresh water on the island flows down from Chaotian Peak.
The water flowing to Wolong Lake first flows down in the form of multi-level waterfalls in the upper reaches. There is a deep pool below, and then forms a stream that goes straight to Wolong Lake.
The creek is not big either. It is only ten meters wide near Chaotian Peak, and only about thirty-four meters wide near the entrance of Wolong Lake.
To build a dam, you must first intercept the stream water, use huge pipes to guide it elsewhere, and drain the lake water before construction can begin.
Tang Wen thought of this first. A month ago, he selected a relatively flat site five miles away from the camp in the upper reaches of the stream, and poured concrete into a huge storage tank.
Moreover, several more were built downstream every mile, all the way to the camp.
At that time, Zhan Dongwen and his gang thought that the master was just fooling around and didn't know why he spent so much cement on it. Today, Tang Wen let them know.
"Dong Wen, we had to carry water from the bottom of the lake before. Are you tired?" Tang Wen asked with a smile while standing in front of the water tank.
"Of course I'm tired. Besides, there are more and more people and horses, and they all need to drink water.
We still need to do laundry and vegetables, and we will continue to expand in the future.
I'm afraid we would have to arrange for more than ten water carriers a day." Zhan Dongwen nodded.
"I'm afraid a dozen or so are not enough. If the population of our camp increases to two to three thousand, and there are hundreds of livestock, how much water will we need for food, housing, and washing in a day? Dozens of people will be needed to carry water." Ge Ziyun said.
"That's right, a few thousand is nothing, what if there are a population of 12,300,000?" Tang Wen said with a smile.
"Then it's impossible to choose and use it. I understand, so sir, you want to build a dam. From now on, when the water level rises, we will eat the water from Wolong Lake." Zhan Dongwen thought the wrong way.
"Haha, no, no, no, Wolong Lake has another use. To solve the problem of draft and water, we will have to rely on it in the future." Tang Wen pointed at the huge cement pool.
"Could it be that the master wants to introduce the stream water into the pond and then use pipes to connect it to the camp?" Ge Ziyun was much smarter.
"Yes! And, you see, our pools are in the shape of stairs, and there are several of them going down to the camp." Tang Wen said.
"Isn't this a waste? Just connect it directly from the pool to the camp." Zhang Kui asked.
