"When Wan Hansong's matter is settled tomorrow, report it to the Six Fan Division of Sea Saint City. At that time, the new and old accounts will be settled together." Tang Wen said gloomily.
Soon, King Gu shrank and flew back.
"You're doing well. I'll catch some poison for you to eat in a few days." Tang Wen said with a smile.
Of course, the four guys were all bitten down by King Gu.
I heard Mr. Gu say that this King Gu was handed down from his master.
It has been cultivated in his hands for a hundred years, and with the hands of his master, this little guy is estimated to have lived close to two hundred years.
Even if you are bitten in the Juyuan realm, you will still cry for father and mother, and even if you are not careful in the Tong Nian realm, you will be injured.
Of course, if you are prepared, that is another matter. Tang Wen feels that it is a sure-fire hidden weapon for sneak attacks.
Wan Hansong was punctual and waited outside at five in the morning, so a group of people rode straight to Koh Samui.
The deck of the Samui Bridge has been watered for several days, and the ground has hardened and can be driven on.
Needless to say, Wan Hansong was shocked when he saw the Samui Bridge, which was nearly 20 meters wide. Needless to say, the popular little man was amazed.
He got off his horse and walked, and knocked again, "This doesn't seem to be a stone?"
"Of course not, this is called cement, and it needs to be reinforced with steel rods in the middle. They are all Western products." Tang Wen said.
"The materials for such a large bridge have to be shipped back from the West. How much money will it cost?" Li Jingyuan asked with a look of amazement.
"Of course it's impossible for everything to be shipped back from the West. The cement is produced in my own workshop, and the gravel and other materials are made by myself. Only the steel is shipped back from the West." Tang Wen shook his head.
"That's terrible, this bridge will cost at least several million taels." Wan Hansong said.
"That's true." Tang Wen nodded.
When I walked to the bridge, I saw a huge excavator digging the road, "What is this, an iron horse?"
"Excavator, a type of iron horse." Tang Wen said.
"It should have been brought back from the West. Even our Gongsun family of Chu State couldn't get it." Wan Hansong said, stroking his beard.
"Of course." Tang Wen replied.
"It's so powerful. Such a big stone will break as soon as it is dug. It is estimated to have tens of thousands of kilograms of strength." Li Jingyuan said.
"This iron horse is even more powerful. It can actually break stones? It has such big teeth." Wan Hansong became an ignorant child. He was curious about everything he saw and asked no questions.
"Master Wan, we don't want to ride horses," Tang Wen said.
"If you don't ride a horse, how can you walk? Didn't I hear that your place is still twenty miles away from Wolong Lake? How long will it take to walk?" Wan Hansong asked in astonishment.
"Let's take the Iron Horse." Tang Wen smiled and opened the car door. This is a Maybach SUV, a super luxurious one.
Wan Hansong sat in with a confused look on his face, touching and squeezing, "It's so soft."
At this time, Wen Jinyuan started the car and started to move. Wan Hansong was shocked, "What an iron horse, it can actually run?"
"It's called a car. You won't be tired after running for a day." Tang Wen said with a smile.
"How far can you run in one day?" Wan Hansong asked.
"Thousands of miles, but it depends on the road conditions. If the road is uneven, you won't be able to drive." Tang Wen said.
"I think the official road can be opened if it is slightly flattened," Li Jingyuan said.
"Haha, when I get rich in the future, I will widen and smooth the official road from Koh Samui to the provincial capital, so that we can drive to the Yamen. When the time comes, I will give Mr. Wan a car." Tang Wen said with a smile.
When he saw the huge Wolong Lake, Wan Hansong was shocked again.
"Your dam is well built, and there are houses on it. But what are you using the iron gate under the dam for?"
"The gate is used to release water. Sometimes the water is too big. When the flood comes, the gate must be opened to release the water. Otherwise, the houses above will be flooded." Tang Wen said.
"How do you open such a heavy iron gate? In addition, there is still water in the lake pressing down on it. I'm afraid it won't take hundreds of warriors to pull it together." Li Jingyuan asked.
"No, we use the mechanism to drive it." Tang Wen said, telling Zhan Dongwen to open the gate and release the water.
Suddenly, the water spurted out, splashing a water column of more than 20 meters high. Hearing the rumbling sound of water, Wan Hansong was needless to say that he was shocked.
Below, Tang Wen took him to experience the public toilet, the canteen, the bedroom...
Wan Hansong was actually shocked by the light and pressed the switch repeatedly, "It works, it works, Westerners really know how to enjoy it. Sir, can you help me install one?"
"This thing needs electricity, and you don't have electricity there. However, it's no problem to install a few lights for you. It can be powered by batteries. And in this bathroom, I can also install one for you." Tang Wen said.
"Thank you then." Wan Hansong cupped his hands and said.
Soon, several people entered the practice tower.
Wan Hansong and Li Jingyuan were both stunned and took a deep breath, "Such a powerful spiritual energy, where did it come from?"
"The formation formed by the spiritual stones on the wall is gathered here. It used to take half a year to advance to the first level.
By practicing in this training tower, low-level warriors can advance to the first level in one month.
A high-level warrior can advance to the first level by using the magic pill in two or three months." Tang Wendao.
Wan Hansong and Li Jing sat down cross-legged, tried it out, and were greatly impressed.
"What a pity." Wan Hansong looked shocked when he walked out of the tower.
"Haha, I can set up a special spirit gathering array for Mr. Wan, and place it in the basement where you practice. Then, Mr. Wan can also enjoy the joy of rapid promotion." Tang Wen said.
"No wonder Sir Alex was promoted so quickly, just because of it." Wan Hansong said with a smile.
"A year ago, many of my subordinates were only at the fifth or sixth level. It has been a year now, and the fastest among them have all advanced to the third level." Tang Wen said.
"With such a training tower, it would be unreasonable for them not to advance to the third level." Li Jingyuan nodded.
Walking to the other two bridges, Wan Hansong, the popular villain, was shocked again, "Your Majesty built three bridges at the same time. This requires more than 20 million taels, which is a big deal."
"Lord Wan, thank you for the award. However, my Tang family's business will grow bigger and bigger. I can provide my Tang family with everything they need. This is not bragging." Tang Wen looked modest.
"Master has already done it. This cultivation tower is shared, and all the Tang family disciples have the opportunity to enter and practice.
We have clothes to wear, food to eat, and the master also gives us regular money every month.
As a Tang family member, I am very proud." Luo Yiwu said.
"Sir, I am Zhan Dongwen's reborn parent. I used to be a disaster victim who was so hungry that I had no food to eat.
But now, I still have a few hundred taels of silver every month, and all of this is brought to me by the master.
Without the master, I would have starved to death. Therefore, the master is everything to us." Zhan Dongwen said.
"Dong Wen, you deserve to enjoy all this. You have worked very hard this year," Tang Wen said.
"Where are your soldiers?" Wan Hansong asked.
"Then we have to take a boat. However, the water has not risen deep enough, so we have to take a small boat first." Tang Wen said, so a few people got on the small wooden boat and soon got on the speedboat.
"This ship seems to be made entirely of iron?" Wan Hansong knocked again and again, making a clanging sound.
"Indeed, my ships are all made of iron. Therefore, I have an advantage when fighting." Tang Wen said with a smile.
"It's running too fast. It seems like there's no one rowing the boat?" Li Jingyuan looked like a curious baby.
"There are mechanisms inside, so you don't need people to row, you just need to control the steering." Tang Wen said with a smile.
Wan Hansong and Li Jingyi studied some more, and soon saw a dozen large ships.
"Is this iron-clad or all-iron?" Wan Hansong asked after boarding the ship.
"This is steel, much harder than iron." Tang Wen said.
"How much money does such a heavy ship cost?" Li Jingyuan asked curiously.
"It's not that big. With the cannons and muskets on board, it's about two million taels. If it's bigger, it's four to five million taels." Tang Wen said.
"Sir Sir Alex's net worth is really amazing. These ten ships alone are worth 20 million taels.
If you add in the iron horses and three bridges on Koh Samui, Sir Alex Ferguson's entire net worth will be almost hundreds of millions, right?
Although it is not comparable to the Shen family, it can definitely be ranked among the top twenty in Linghai." Li Jingyuan said.
"How much money does the Shen family have?" Tang Wen was also curious.
"The real estate, businesses, banks, mines, etc. are estimated to be worth no less than five to six billion taels. The Shen family is as rich as the country." Wan Hansong touched his chin and said.
"Can our Dachu tax revenue reach 5 billion taels a year?" Tang Wen asked.
"Haha, the imperial tax plus the local total is about 10 billion taels every year.
When our dynasty was at its peak, the national treasury held 50 billion taels of silver.
However, that kind of glory is no longer there. Especially in recent years, disasters have continued, wars have broken out, the national treasury is empty, and even the salaries of officials can hardly be paid."
Wan Hansong sighed, glanced at the ship, and said, "Although your ship is very strong, Sir, once the enemy gets close, it will have to be fought hand-to-hand and bloody, and it will depend on the strength of the soldiers."
"Close? Haha, this possibility is unlikely." Tang Wen said with a smile.
"Why isn't it bigger? The sea breeze brings the strength of the sail.
Coupled with the efforts of dozens of oarsmen on the boat, their boat speed is not slow.
It can reach thirty miles in half an hour, and you can't stop it even if you want." Wan Hansong shook his head and said.
"My Western cannon is different from our Chu-made cannon." Tang Wen shook his head.
"What's the difference? I took a closer look just now. It's just that the workmanship is more refined. It's not even as heavy as our Dachu artillery." Wan Hansong said.
"What's the use of a heavy cannon? It must be light so it can be moved." Tang Wen shook his head.
"You don't understand this. It's only stable if you hit it hard. Moreover, the impact is strong and the power is greater." Wan Hansong touched his beard and said in an old-fashioned way.
"Elder Ximen, give me a show for Master Wan," Tang Wen said.
"Okay!" Ximen Taigao gave the order, and the rotating chassis under the cannon began to rotate and blasted towards a fishing boat eight or nine miles away. Suddenly, the fishing boat was blown to pieces.
"Huh? Your cannon is much more powerful." Wan Hansong was stunned.
"The fishing boat just now was nearly ten miles away from us, but our Da Chu boat can't reach that far.
Moreover, the cannonballs are more powerful.
A fishing boat like this would only be able to hit three or four of Da Chu's cannonballs, but one of the Duke's cannonballs would sink it." Li Jingyuan nodded.
"Turn on full power and run around to show Master Wan." Tang Wen said again. Ximen Taigao gave an order, and the gunboat quickly sailed into the distance, with water splashing from the stern.
Li Jingyuan was so shocked that he lost all color and exclaimed repeatedly, "Quick, so fast, too fast."
"How many miles can the Sun Country Thief's boat travel in one hour?" Tang Wen asked with a smile.
"With the force of the wind and the strength of the paddler, we can cover about fifty or sixty miles in one hour," Li Jingyuan said.
"Master Wan, Master Li, do you think how many miles my boat can travel in an hour?" Tang Wen asked with a smile.
"Fast, indeed fast, I can probably run as fast as the two of them." Wan Hansong nodded.
"Of course, my boat can cover one hundred and fifty miles in an hour.
If I try to run away, they won't be able to catch up.
Moreover, the attack range of my cannons was larger, and we had already blown up their ships when their cannons could not hit our ships.
If they are lucky enough to get close, my fire blunderbuss will not be spared.
Because the range of my fire gun is two to three times that of theirs." Tang Wendao.
