"Sound the alarm, prepare to fight." Tang Wen immediately jumped up and rushed outside.
It was discovered that Yan Beitian had already ordered his guards to put on bulletproof vests and helmets, fully armed and armed, and pointed blunderbuss at the outside.
"It's strange, why doesn't he look like someone from Yunhaimen?" Dongfang Ming looked at it and said with a puzzled look on his face.
"Haha, it's true that they are not from Yunhaimen, they should be people on the island." Tang Wen smiled.
"People, why are people here?" Yan Beitian asked.
"The master behind the scenes is Yun Haimen, who instigates them to cause trouble and scare us away." Tang Wen sneered and said, "Wait until they rush a hundred meters away and launch firecrackers to scare them! Mount the cannon in black and dare to break in.
,kill!"
Bah, bah, bah...
Sure enough, the group of people rushed closer, but the sound of firecrackers and the smoke rising made the group of people stop in a hurry.
"Who is coming? This is the military camp of Mr. Tang, deputy commander of the regiment training of Jiangzhou Prefecture. Anyone who bumps into it will be treated as a pirate and will be killed without mercy!" Yan Beitian stood on a steel pillar in the factory facing the sky, holding a big knife and full of energy.
shouted.
"Wei!" Suddenly, all the guards shouted loudly.
There was a commotion among the group over there, and soon they were so frightened that they retreated more than ten meters before stopping.
"You are the robbers. This Tianshi Island belongs to us. If you want to occupy our island, get back quickly." Someone shouted, probably the leader.
"Wantless, Lord Tang just bought this from Gui Wusong. It's written in black and white. Send a few representatives over to take a look." Luo Yiwu shouted.
"Yes! Yesterday Yunhaimen came over and we showed them, so they withdrew." Dongfang Ming shouted.
"Don't be afraid, everyone. I am Tang Wen, deputy envoy of Jiangzhou Prefecture, and I bought this island.
You are all ordinary people on the island. I, Tang Wen, am not here to rob you of anything.
I don’t want to drive you away, but I want to give you a chance to make a fortune.” Tang Wen said, asking someone to open the gate of the camp and walked out.
"Get rich! None of you officials are good, let's not be deceived by him." The middle-aged man with a beard at the head shouted loudly.
"Wang Baozhang is right, none of them are good. Once we are fooled, they will catch us and throw us into the sea to feed the fish. We can't trust them." Another old man with a yellow beard and a gentler appearance said.
"Old sir, I think you are a scholar." Tang Wen looked at him and said.
"He is Luo Kai, the master of our town, and he is also a scholar." someone said.
"By the way, you are a scholar and I am a scholar. We are both scholars. As the saying goes, it is common to act with reason, but it is difficult to act without reason. We are literati, so we must be reasonable, right?" Tang
Wen said.
"The truth, do you officials still have any sense?
You have always only allowed state officials to set fires, but not the people to light lamps.
Where can we common people find reason?" Wang Baochang sneered.
"I am here to reason today. Otherwise, if I had not been reasonable, I would have directly called you to announce the arrangements for this island.
Because, this Shidao belongs to me, and of course my master has the right to deal with it.
However, I did not do this. Moreover, I also provided you with the opportunity to make a fortune.
Butler Luo, take out the land deed and let Master Luo take a look."
Tang Wendao, Luo Yiwu nodded, took out the land deed and the sales contract with Gui Wusong, "Old Master, please see clearly, this has the official seal of Jiangzhou Prefecture. Do you think this island belongs to Lord Tang?"
.”
"This is true." Old Master Luo looked at it several times and nodded helplessly.
"Fake!" Wang Bao said with a straight face.
"Do you dare to lie to me, the deputy envoy of the regiment training, and the first uncle? You guys go to Linghai and tell me whether I still want this official position or this title?" Tang Wen sneered.
"Officials protect each other, they will not make decisions for us people." Someone shouted in the crowd.
"Then let me ask you, even so, does this island belong to me?" Tang Wen asked.
"This seal cannot be fake, it is indeed the Lord's." Luo Kai nodded.
"Old Master Luo, you have to see clearly and don't be deceived?" someone else in the crowd asked.
"You can't be fooled. I'm old-sighted and can still recognize the official seal." Luo Kai became a little angry and snorted.
"Everyone, listen to me first. I want to open a limestone workshop on this island. This workshop is very big.
Will I need manpower by then? I will have to recruit a large number of people by then, so I will recruit you.
Anyone who has the strength can come, and each person will be paid one tael of silver a month.
If the master is skilled, has martial arts skills, and does a good job, the silver can be increased to two taels or even three taels, or even five taels is possible.
When the time comes, you will have food to eat and clothing to wear after you have done your work.
Moreover, I will also build a school in the workshop, and all children of workshop workers can attend school for free, only paying for books." Tang Wen said.
"How can you get such a high reward for lying?" Wang Baochang said.
"We can sign the contract in black and white, and Luo Zi and Wang Baochang can prove it.
Moreover, I will pay you your first month's salary as soon as you come here.
If I don’t pay my first monthly wage, you can scold me, Tang Wen, or even drive me away,” Tang Wen said.
"Are you telling the truth?" someone asked.
"Of course! Our lordship always sticks to his word when he speaks. I am a servant of the Tang family, Luo Yiwu, the housekeeper of the Tang family, and I have an average of ten taels of silver a month.
And everyone in our Tang family has a monthly allowance, even the elderly, and they can get at least five taels of silver a month.
Young adults like you should start with at least one tael of silver a month, and those with some martial arts skills should start with one and a half taels of silver.
You must know that in addition to the monthly payment, Mr. Tang also provides food, accommodation and clothing.
Even if you are sick, you will be provided with medical care, and your children will also study for free...
This is the treatment of the slaves of my Tang family." Luo Yiwu said.
"Yes! We are Mr. Tang's personal guards. We have two taels of silver a month and a low-grade elixir."
"I am the captain of the personal guard squad. I earn three taels a month and two low-grade elixirs."
"I am an old carpenter from the Tang family. I earn two taels a month."
"I used to work as a bricklayer, earning two taels a month."
…
"Master Tang, I am a common man named Zhang Delin. I am willing to work in your workshop. I am strong and can carry seven to eight hundred kilograms. How much will you pay me per month?" asked a strong man.
"Able to lift seven to eight hundred kilograms, that's about the same strength as an eighth-grade warrior, two taels a month." Tang Wen nodded.
"As for me, I can also carry five to six hundred kilograms."
"Five to six hundred catties, one or two and a half."
…
"Don't let him fool you, it's all lies." Someone shouted.
"It's definitely a lie, don't be fooled."
"Tang Wen is too insidious..."
…
"Liar, Zhang Delin, we will sign the contract immediately.
I'll give you two taels on the spot, and you'll come over to work in the afternoon.
And Li Biao, if you sign one and a half a month, I can give it to you now..." Tang Wendao.
"Everyone, if you are willing to sell yourself as a slave to the Tang family, not only will you receive the same monthly salary as usual, but you will also be provided with food, housing, clothing, medical care, and education...
If you are willing to join, we will test your strength immediately. Your level of skill will be paid monthly according to your strength.
You can sign and stamp it right away, write it in black and white, and Old Master Luo will testify." Luo Yiwu, the temporary head of the public relations hall, shouted at the top of his voice.
"Master Tang, my name is Li Cuihua. My husband capsized and died some time ago. There are two children and an old man at home. Does Master Tang want me?" At this time, a middle-aged woman squeezed out and asked.
"I see you are in good health. By the way, can you cook? Or do needlework?" Luo Yiwu asked.
