"Of course. In fact, legends are generally true. Because if there is no true story, where can the legend come from?" Tang Wen nodded.
"There are many magical things in this world that we cannot understand.
However, sir, I heard that you use luminous pearls for lighting, and there are dozens of them in one hanging.
The wealth of the Tang family is truly impressive," Wang Haiting said.
"Haha, that's not a luminous pearl. It's called an electric lamp, which uses electrical energy to transmit and make it shine. Otherwise, have you ever seen a luminous pearl as thick as a basin?" Tang Wen shook his head and smiled.
"There are electric lights, and there are many iron horses that can run, lift things, and roar. Are these the masterpieces of the Gongsun family?" Li Liufeng couldn't help but ask.
"Haha, I don't know anyone from the Gongsun family." Tang Wen shook his head.
"These are all brought back from the West by our master," Luo Yiwu said with a proud face.
"Didn't that huge windmill Lord cast a spell and fall from the sky?" Ning Xiaotian asked.
"Haha, I learned a technique in the West. They call it the Mountain Moving Technique." Tang Wen said with a smile.
"There really is a mountain-moving skill in this world, it's amazing, it's amazing." Lin Tianwei couldn't help but sigh.
"With the Mountain Moving Technique, there is nothing to worry about. We don't even need our boats. We can just use the Mountain Moving Technique to move cargo." Qiu Yanchun said with a look of amazement.
"That's not possible. In fact, the Western mountain-moving technique also has limitations. It takes several months to accumulate the strength to move once. Moreover, this technique is too difficult to practice. It took me many years to learn it.
Moreover, practicing this technique in the West also requires special techniques, such as spiritual stones, etc.
Moreover, it can only be practiced in a specific Western environment. Our country of Chu does not have the conditions to practice this technique.
Therefore, I am the only one who knows this technique and no one else can learn it." Tang Wen first put an end to their greed. Otherwise, if everyone wants to learn it, what will he do?
"What a pity..." Wang Haiting shook his head and sighed.
"It's a pity that I usually don't dare to use this technique." Tang Wen said.
"Why?" Lin Tianwei asked.
"Because this technique consumes life. If you use it once, your life span will be reduced by three months. You think, if you use it often, you are taking your own life for granted." Tang Wen said.
"Ah, is there such a taboo?" Lin Tianwei was shocked.
"Yes, this is a taboo, because this technique is too unnatural and will harm the harmony of heaven and earth." Tang Wen said.
"It's okay if you don't learn Lao Shi's mountain-moving skills," Lin Tianwei said.
"That's right, life is more important than skill. Why move around if you lose your life?" Li Liufeng nodded.
"I came here today to discuss something. I want to build a huge workshop on the island, which will require thousands of people.
Therefore, many workers were hired with a lot of money.
He even sold many slaves to work for the Tang family, because I want to make cement." When Tang Wen just finished speaking, Ning Xiaotian couldn't help but ask, "Isn't it making lime?"
"No, what's the use of lime? There's no money to be made.
However, after the completion of my workshop, a large number of ships will be needed to transport cement to Koh Samui.
Pay according to the quantity of cement transported by ship, one bag is one hundred catties, twenty bags are one ton, and one ton is one tael of silver for freight.
If your ship can carry a thousand bales, that is fifty tons, and you can receive ten taels of silver for one shipment.
If your ship is larger and can transport one hundred tons, that's twenty taels.
Tianshi Island is not far from Koh Samui, just over a hundred miles away. The boat can make two round trips a day, and you can earn forty taels.
My volume is very large. At the beginning, I estimate that I can transport about fifty ships a day. You can earn one thousand taels a day, which is thirty thousand taels a month.
That's hundreds of thousands of taels a year. Plus other goods, you can earn more than one million taels a year from the Tang family.
From now on, I plan to leave this big deal to you, Yunhaimen, to complete.
Moreover, if I don’t drive you away, you can still live here.
Moreover, because Lan Yun'er is my slave, Shidao will be taken care of by her today.
Of course, since she is not free at ordinary times, she can leave it to her father, Ximen Taigao, to help take care of it. I will pay her ten thousand taels a year.
Seeing her face, I decided to take your rift valley as the center and demarcate a fifteen-mile radius as your sect's headquarters.
Of course, I will give you money and a place to live, so of course I have requirements.
That is, you have to help my Tang family maintain the safety of the workshop. Today, the safety of Shidao will be left to you.
Also, when the Tang family encounters something big, you have to stand up and help us.
Otherwise, why would I give you a place to live and earn money for you?
Also, the workshop requires a large number of manpower. If your children have martial arts skills, they can work in my workshop. The wages will be calculated according to the level of martial arts skills.
If you think it's not worthwhile, you can move out and I'll hire someone else.
Otherwise, don't think that Yunhaimen is very strong, but in front of the powerful navy, you can fight with them and hit the stone with your eggs.
I believe that your sect masters, including the first elder and the second elders, will see this clearly." Tang Wen said.
"Master, there is no need for navy at all. We, the Tang family's thousands of personal guards, can deal with Yunhaimen." Yan Beitian said.
"You are not slanderous, Yan Beitian, how powerful you are, but you can't beat our First Elder, Feng Da is not afraid of using your little tongue." Lin Tianwei sneered.
"What he said makes sense. Come here, give Hallmaster Lin the blunderbuss and ask him to shoot Yan Beitian twice in the head and chest." Tang Wen said. Luo Yiwu nodded and took the short-handled blunderbuss in his hand.
Passed it to Lin Tianwei.
"Sire, I will not be held responsible if you beat him to death." Lin Tianwei took the fire gun and blew on it.
"It's okay. If you beat me to death, I'll be unlucky." Yan Beitian stood up.
Bahba...
Two gunshots were fired and the smoke cleared. Lin Tianwei was stunned, "You...you seem to be okay?"
"Do you think something's wrong with me?" Yan Beitian looked at him with a high-pitched expression.
"Have you mastered the Golden Bell Mask?" Ning Xiaotian asked.
"No!" Yan Beitian shook his head.
"But why are you okay?" Wang Haiting was moved.
"That's why, it's a bulletproof vest and helmet." Yan Beitian said with a smile.
"My personal guards are very skilled. If you can't kill them, they will kill you. So, if a thousand of my personal guards come, can Yunhaimen withstand it?" Tang Wen said with a smile.
Chachacha...
Yan Beitian drew out Lin Tianwei's sword and slashed at his own chest a few more times. Nothing happened at all. Everyone in Yunhaimen was immediately dumbfounded.
Dangdangdang...
Yan Beitian drew out his high-grade sword and slashed at Lin Tianwei's sword.
With three blows and two blows, Lin Tianwei's sword was cut into pieces and turned into scrap metal.
"What a sharp sword." Wang Haiting praised.
"What's this?" Tang Wen threw it outward, and a grenade flew out. There was a loud bang, flames shot into the sky, and a crater was blown up in the ground.
"How about it, who can withstand one hit from this Western grenade? I can kill a few of you with one grenade." Tang Wen asked, and all the elders of Yunhaimen suddenly became idiots.
"Sir, I will do as you say. We will maintain the safety of Tianshi Island, and we will transport your goods. If the Tang family is in trouble, we will help you." Needless to say, Ximen Taigao was shocked, and he made a prompt decision and agreed.
Come down.
"Dad, the master said that I would take care of Shidao today. My daughter has to serve the master, and she didn't come back when she had no time, so I asked you to take care of it." Lan Yun'er said.
"Alas... Lan Yun'er, daddy is sorry for you. I take back what I said before. You will always be the pride of the Ximen family." Ximen Taigao sighed.
"Dad... daughter... daughter is so happy... I can finally go back to Ximen's house." Lan Yun'er cried.
"Please serve me well." Ximen Tai waved his hand high.
