"There is a bathroom next to it. You can pee and defecate yourself. And Sir Xiao, King Zhu Guo, you can't bear it. I'll give you a small one and eat it together." Tang Wen took Xiao Gai and forced it.
He stuffed a small red fruit into his mouth and closed the door after finishing it.
"Brother Tang, what are you doing..." Xiao Gai was shocked and said quickly.
"Hahaha, interesting, interesting, this person is so interesting." Chu Cong laughed wildly and started a drunken fist fight.
Soon, he was drunk and fell asleep on the ground. Xiao Gai went to help him, but he knocked him down with a finger, and the door of the tower was closed again, making him unable to get out.
This made Xiao Gai very anxious.
"You, sit down and meditate. It's a rare opportunity to practice." As soon as Tang Wen left, Chu Cong jumped up, talking drunken words, and continued to perform drunken fists.
Xiao Gai took a look and felt that Chu Cong should be fine too, so he found a corner to meditate and breathe out.
"Master, is Mr. Chu really drunk or pretending to be drunk?" Tang Wen entered the monitoring room and Luo Yiwu said immediately while looking at the monitoring room.
"The truth is also false, and the false is also true." Tang Wen said with a smile.
"Master, you confused me." Luo Yiwu looked at Tang Wen with a confused look on his face.
"Do you think his drunken fist is methodical?" Tang Wen asked.
"It seems chaotic, but there seems to be an order, which is hard to define." Luo Yiwu shook his head.
"So, this is called true and false, and false and true.
This state of his is the best for warriors. If given the chance, he can enter into the unity of heaven and man.
If he can enter, it will be his good fortune." Tang Wen said with a smile.
"This should be the condition you deliberately created for him, Master." Luo Yiwu said.
"You can put it this way, otherwise, why would I give him King Zhuguo." Tang Wen said.
"Sir, I don't understand. He is Xiao Gai's friend and we don't know each other. Why should we create such good conditions for him?
Take Xiaozhu Guowang for example, it’s such a pity.
Leave it so we can cultivate a master in the future." Luo Yiwu looked regretful.
"I am cultivating a master right now. If I can, he will be a first-level powerhouse after leaving the tower." Tang Wen said.
"But he is not one of us." Luo Yiwu shook his head.
"This person is not very old, and is a genius at the same level as Feng Jiuxue.
These people got to know Xiao Gai again, and Xiao Gai actually got promoted.
I'm wondering if the title of Xiaogeti is related to this person." Tang Wendao.
"Then this person was born either rich or noble." Luo Yiwu was startled and nodded immediately.
"Let's take a gamble." Tang Wen said with a smile.
"But the price is too high." Luo Yiwu still couldn't let go.
"Haha, the essence of gambling is that you either lose everything or make a lot of money.
It's the same as doing business, you have to dare to take action when you encounter opportunities.
The reason why poor people stay poor is because they don't have a gambler's mentality.
Afraid of failure, I dare not invest, so I dare not seize the opportunity when it comes.
So, of course, if you are poor again and again, you will be poor all your life." Tang Wen said with a smile.
"I hope I can make a lot of money." Luo Yiwu nodded.
At noon the next day, Wan Hansong sent his cronies to deliver the title deed to Black Rock Island.
Tang Wen didn't stop and took Wen Jinyuan and his party straight to Black Rock Island.
After all, large-scale construction is underway, cement is available, and another problem that consumes steel bars from "big households" has to be solved.
Once this problem is solved, most of the luggage space will be freed up to buy other items when traveling through time in the future.
There is a speedboat, and although Black Rock Island is close to 400 miles away from Koh Samui, it still takes a few hours to arrive.
Black Rock Island is the largest island that Tang Wen has purchased so far, with a radius of a hundred miles and thousands of hectares of land.
Tang Wen was dressed in a gorgeous knight's uniform and went to the island with hundreds of his bodyguards in bright clothes and street armor.
After setting up camp, it naturally attracted the attention of people from Tianlong and Dihu villages.
Tang Wen deliberately arranged the camp on the central axis of the two villages.
Sure enough, soon the security chiefs of both villages came over.
The security chief of Tianlong Village is called Li Defa, and the security chief of Dihu Village is called Lin Zongming. Both of them brought hundreds of villagers here.
"Who is here? This is where Lord Tang, the first-class uncle of Linghai and deputy envoy of the regiment, is stationed." As soon as he arrived at the gate of the village, he was naturally stopped by the guard leader Li Liao who was watching the gate.
"The villain Li Defa, the chief security officer of Tianlong Village."
"The little man Lin Zongming, the security chief of Dihu Village, is here to meet the lord."
"You two can go in, and the rest will stay outside." Li Liao hummed, leading the two security guards into the mobile villa.
He looked at the mobile villa and then at the dozens of black cannons that had been placed around the camp.
and several hundred fire guns. After entering the house and looking at the furniture in the villa, the two elders looked surprised.
"You don't kneel down when you see Sir Alex, do you want to be beaten?" Wen Jinyuan shouted while the two guys were looking at the equipment in the room in a daze.
Powerful!
Suddenly, the guards on both sides exerted pressure in unison.
When the two security guards heard this, they quickly knelt down to pay homage.
"I'm here to take a look at my territory. Please take a seat, two security guards." Tang Wen replied.
"Territory?" Li Defa was stunned and glanced at Lin Zongming.
"What do you mean by territory that the Lord is talking about? I don't understand?" Lin Zongming also glanced at Li Defa and asked.
"Aren't you two talking nonsense? This Black Rock Island belongs to me." Tang Wen snorted.
"Your Majesty? Isn't Black Rock Island a desert island?" Li Defa asked.
"Yes, it has been more than two hundred years since we moved here. When we came, it was a desert island with no human habitation. Only some pirates occasionally lived there, but we drove them away." Lin Zongming responded.
These two guys, fighting and arguing, seemed to have formed a united front at this moment and were united in facing the outside world.
"Nonsense! How can this be a deserted island? This island belongs to the Linghai Provincial Government." Luo Yiwu snorted.
"It belongs to the government, yes, but it doesn't belong to the lord," Li Defa said.
"Don't you two know? The war has been tense recently and the government needs money. Therefore, Heiyan Island was specially sold to our master Tang Jue for three million taels." Luo Yiwu said.
"But we have moved here two hundred years ago, and this island is ours." Li De said anxiously.
"That's right! This is a deserted island, and it's ours if we come here first." Lin Zongming also said quickly.
"What a joke, the desert island is yours.
The imperial court has laws and regulations. All unowned land belongs to the imperial court. If you occupy it first, it is yours. Could it be that you are bandits and want to occupy the imperial court's land?
Of course, if you admit that you are robbers, then I, Tang Wen, will admit it." Tang Wen suddenly slapped the table and said.
"We are not!" Li Defa said quickly.
"How can we be bandits? We are also good people of Chu. We never burn, kill or loot." Lin Zongming also said.
"Then how do you seize government land? What else is this than banditry?" Tang Wen asked.
"I...we just live here." Li Defa was speechless for a moment.
"Yes, we have lived here for two hundred years." Lin Zongming nodded.
"Haha, you have to pay rent when you live in the imperial palace. Butler Luo, please calculate how many people there are and how much rent they have to pay after living there for two hundred years?" Tang Wen said with a smile.
"Why do you have to pay the rent?" Li De became anxious.
"Yes, this kind of wasteland is everywhere. I have never heard of the imperial court collecting rent." Lin Zongming was also anxious.
"If I don't pay the rent, I'll live in it for free. If this is your home, will you let others live in it for free? Also, have you paid taxes on the land you grow grain?" Tang Wen hummed.
"I...we..." It was over now, and both guys were panicked.
"The rent must be paid!" Tang Wen said.
"Sir, I calculated that the two villages together have tens of thousands of people.
After living there for two hundred years, I paid a head tax of twenty taels of silver a year.
Twenty thousand taels a year, two hundred years will be four million taels." Luo Yiwu said with dignity.
"You have three days to collect and hand it over, and if you want to continue renting, you have to come over and sign a contract with me.
However, this island now belongs to me, and twenty thousand taels a year is not enough. I have to pay at least one million taels.
Otherwise, we can move wherever it is cool." Tang Wen said stiffly with a stinky face.
"I... let's go back and discuss it." Li Defa's face changed, and the two guys left in panic.
Hahaha……
Suddenly, Wen Jinyuan and the others burst into laughter.
"Master, you almost scared them both to the point of peeing." Li Liao said with a smile.
"Not necessarily, they can't make the decision. Let's wait for the people behind them to come out. Tell Ximen Taigao to get the boat over and be ready at all times." Tang Wen shook his head.
"Do you want to fight?" Luo Yiwu was stunned.
"Hit them all! If we beat them all to death, where will we find workers in the steel factory in the future?" Tang Wen said.
"Then why did you call Elder Ximen here?" Luo Yiwu asked in confusion.
"This is called coercion! We have to make them fearful under high pressure. Otherwise, even a few hundred of us can't scare them," Tang Wen said.
"Well, this place is far away from the mainland. If we push them too hard, they will cause trouble. Then, if things get serious, they will have to move away." Wen Jinyuan nodded.
"So, we have to master a certain degree. We have to master the degree well. We must make them reluctant to move away and listen to us obediently." Tang Wen said.
"Master, it's not good." Li Defa hurriedly returned to Lijiapu and rushed directly into the lobby. The master of the family, Li Shaotang, was drinking tea leisurely with an old man with big eyes.
"Is the Lin family making trouble again?" Li Shaotang thought of the Lin family first and jumped up from the table.
"No...no." Li Defa quickly shook his head.
"What is that?" The big-eyed old man put down his tea bowl and asked casually. This man was Li Shaotang's uncle Li Zenong.
"A first-class earl, Tang Wen, has come from Linghai..." Li Defa said.
"Isn't the government's land a desert island?" Li Zenong was stunned.
"Uncle, except for the owner's property in Dachu, the other wastelands belong to the government. People say this, and we really can't do anything about it." Li Shaotang's face changed drastically and he said.
"Are we going to let Tang Wen's blackmail go to waste? That's millions of taels of silver." Li Zenong snorted.
"Tang Wen didn't talk to death, we should be able to talk about this," Li Shaotang said.
"If he insists on doing this, we will be homeless. Where can we find a place temporarily?" Li Zenong frowned and said.
"I think it's better to gather a few clan elders to discuss countermeasures." Master Kang Yun on the side suggested.
"Of course we should, call the clan elders for a meeting immediately." Li Zenong nodded.
"Master Kang, you go and do it right away." Li Shaotang said, Kang Yun nodded, and soon the recruiting bell rang in the Li family.
Soon, several old people came walking quickly.
They are ‘Li Kun’, the eldest grandfather of the Li family.
Li Jiatang’s uncle ‘Li Hao’.
Aunt Li’s family ‘Li Yumei’.
Li Shaotang’s younger brother ‘Li Kaiqiu’.
Son, young patriarch ‘Li Jun’
…
These people are the palm bones of the Li family and core members of the Presbyterian Church.
