"I'll think about it." Luo Kai glanced at Wang Baochang, probably feeling a little embarrassed. As a scholar, he saves face.
"Failed? What happened?" That night, with the bright moon in the sky, Ximen Taigao was very surprised when he received Su Xin's report.
"That boy is so good at winning people's hearts." Su Xin said angrily.
"Isn't Wang Baozhang a relative of yours?" Li Liufeng said.
"When Baozhang Wang started speaking, some people listened, but it was all the fault of Old Master Luo." Su Xin said.
"Old Master Luo, a scholar, can't possibly help Tang Wencai." Wang Haiting snorted.
"Old Master Ke Luo was an upright man, but he was deceived by Tang Wen after seeing the land deed.
The person below actually spoke for Tang Wen, and Tang Wen also spread money all over the place.
We bought hundreds of people on the spot and hired hundreds of short-term workers," Su Xin said.
"There are only a few people in this world who can resist the temptation of money." Ximen Taigao frowned.
"That boy actually still wanted to see a doctor, and Daxia Yu was not convinced at the time.
As a result, he performed surgery on the spot and took out the hook from Yu Daxia's leg.
It's so miraculous, it is said that even the miraculous doctors in the Holy City of Hook Sea and the fish hero can't do anything about it.
What was particularly awesome was that when Tang Wen cut the flesh with a knife, the fish hero didn't feel any pain at all and even talked to him, which almost scared us to death.
Later, when everyone saw it, they believed it, and Li Cuihua took her mother to see a doctor.
Also...it seems that the disease has been diagnosed correctly, and the disease that has not been cured seems to be getting better soon.
As a result, word spread, and many people in the town came to see Tang Wen for medical treatment.
At that time, I also wanted to organize a second group of people to make trouble, but as a result, not many people were willing to go.
Everyone said that if they offended Mr. Tang, what should they do when they see a doctor in the future? Others said that if they had nothing to do in the future, they would not make any money. Some even objected to our going because they were afraid that we would cut off their financial resources.
This means that for the second finger, we still organized hundreds of people, but it was of no use as they were all scared away by the firecrackers.
Moreover, this group of people were scolded after they returned, and some even said that if they dared to make trouble again, they would be beaten to death or something.
I think there is no hope for the common people." Su Xin was dejected.
"The key is that Tang Wen's method is clever. You see, he gives you a lot of money.
Secondly, because I am afraid that others will not believe me, I will give you money when you sign the contract in person, and I am not afraid that you will take the money and run away.
In addition, Yu Daxia's leg injury set an example and played a role in fueling the flames.
This man is quite courageous." Wang Haiting touched his beard and said.
"Isn't that right? There were hundreds of people who sold themselves, and they paid thousands of taels of silver to sell themselves in person.
Including the long-term workers, we were paid about 10,000 taels in the morning.
That person is too rich. We hire them to sail the ship, but we can't pay so much," Su Xin said.
"You can't catch that much fish. They figured it would be better to work in the Tang family's workshop. In this case, our plan will fail." Wang Haiting said.
"Does a limestone workshop need so many people? If the whole town went there, there would be tens of thousands of young and middle-aged people alone.
One person earns one to three taels per month, which is tens of thousands of taels.
In the long run, can Tang Wen afford it?" Ximen Taigao sneered.
"Yes, and our Tianshi Island is more than a hundred miles away from the mainland. How much money can we make from limestone?
He will definitely lose money, he can't afford to hire 10,000 people.
I might deceive everyone first, but I won’t do it anymore.” Sixth Elder Ding Kongqiu said.
"The Tang family must have opened a workshop to make money, and there is no way they are paying back the money.
Based on this calculation, it is certain that we will not be able to hire so many people, and wages will definitely be reduced in the future.
Otherwise, we will have to pay tens of thousands of taels a month, so we will spend it with him to see who can spend more than the other?
Then the money given to us will not be as good as the money given to us for doing chores, and the people will stop working, and then there will be trouble." Ning Xiaotian nodded.
"Yes! Spend time with him!" Qiu Yanchun nodded.
"What's the fuss about? Just go over and drive them away." Lin Weitian said.
"No rush, wait and see. Anyway, his workshop is dozens of miles away from our station, not to mention they still have two masters in our hands, why are we anxious?" Ximen Taigao shook his head.
"Sir, we have used a drone to photograph their location." At this time, Gu Hanyan hurriedly came in and said.
"Let me take a look." Tang Wen inserted the USB flash drive into the computer and opened it.
"The location they chose is very beautiful and the scenery is charming. No wonder they don't want to move. It seems that they are very discerning." Tang Wen said while watching the video.
"It is said that it has been nearly a hundred years since we moved here." Luo Yiwu said.
"Look, there is a large dock not far from their station, with quite a lot of ships. I have inquired about it, and they make a living by shipping." Yan Beitian said.
"Haha, there is actually a fort. It should be used to prevent pirates." Tang Wen pointed at the fort and smiled.
"There are quite a few black-clothed cannons, about thirty or forty, and I guess there are also quite a few firecrackers," Luo Yiwu said.
"The terrain is dangerous, it's a big rift valley. There are cliffs on both sides, thousands of meters high.
It is impossible to attack down from the cliff, and it is difficult to let a large number of people go down.
The river mouth is narrowed, only about a hundred meters wide, and there are forts on both sides.
Guarded by cannons in black, when the time comes, the mouth of the river will be blocked so that no one can get in." Yan Beitian said.
"Sir, the mining of the limestone mine has begun. Once the factory is built, it can start work." Zhan Dongwen came in and said.
"Dongwen, first mine a part and transport it for storage, including clay, quartz sand, iron powder or steel slag, etc., and start construction once the factory is built.
However, you also have to allocate some people to drive the highway.
Otherwise, how will the cement be transported to the seaside?" Tang Wen said.
"Then we have to drive directly to the dock in the town, which is estimated to be about ten miles." Zhan Dongwen nodded.
"Yes, but I think that pier is mainly used for docking fishing boats.
It's not big enough or long enough. It needs to be sorted out first, made bigger and bolder, and made stronger.
After all, our cement is very heavy, and the ships of the future will also be very long and large.
The low tide has also affected this area. Didn't you see that they have two piers, and the top one is exposed about ten meters from the water.
The upper pier was originally used. When the tide came, the upper pier was too high from the water and could not be used, so we had to build a lower pier below.
However, once the low tide disappears and the sea water rises, the pier below will be submerged again.
Therefore, the pier below is only for temporary use and can only be used once every few years, or only a few months at a time.
Our focus is to build the pier above, so you can do it according to the deep-water port construction drawings we gave you.
Now is the opportunity. Once the great low tide that occurs once in several years disappears and the sea water rises, we will be unable to build." Tang Wen said.
"Master, if this is used as our cement base in the future, wouldn't we have to buy a lot of ships?" Luo Yiwu asked.
"I will definitely need it in the future, but I won't need it for the time being." Tang Wen shook his head.
"Why is it not needed? The cement factory building was built in a few days, and production is expected to start in about ten days. By then, if we don't have a ship, how will we transport it?" Luo Yiwu asked puzzledly.
"Why are there no ships? Isn't Yunhaimen engaged in shipping?" Tang Wen smiled.
"Looking for Yunhai's luck? How can they agree if we are at odds with them?" Yan Beitian was stunned and asked.
