However, it was so bad later that I almost died from the heat."
Tang Wen said, he noticed that the popular little man on the head of Xingfang Kongming had a pitiful look on his face, as if he wished he could peel off the fruit from his stomach.
"Son-born fruit, boy, do you know what a natural-born fruit is?" Dongfang Kongming said.
"I don't understand! However, Hong Xiu said that the spiritual power of Tiansheng Guo is a hundred times that of Xiaozhu Guowang.
I just felt hot. Later, I hurriedly took Tu Qianqiu’s Ice Spirit Pill and survived after taking many pills.
Otherwise, I will be killed by the heat. Next time, I won’t even eat it.” Tang Wen pretended to be stupid.
"You still eat shit, do people still have it?"
That's a treasure! It's a waste for you to eat it. It should be given to those of us who are in the Concentration Realm or even the Divine Consciousness Realm. After eating it, you can improve your skill by one level.
Alas...it's a pity, ah, pity, you kid, you asked me to tell you something good.
By the way, you should have reached the third or fourth level of minor realm." Dongfang Kongming looked angrily.
"No, I just raised a minor level, City Lord." Tang Wen shook his head.
"Level one, impossible! You are only in the first level, so it is possible to reach level five or six. Of course, the premise is that you are still alive." Xingfang Kongming obviously didn't believe it.
"I really only raised one level, I can swear! I swear in the name of my mother!" Tang Wendao.
"Forget it, maybe something went wrong." Of course Dongfang Kongming believed it, waved his hand and said, "Is she gone?"
"Who left?" Tang Wen deliberately pretended to be stupid.
"Red sleeves." Dongfang Kongming said.
"She didn't leave. She said she wanted to wait until her nurse Zhong got well before she left. She will probably have to live there for a while. I'm also planning to build a villa for her," Tang Wen said.
"Villa?" Xingfang Kongming didn't understand.
"It means mansion." Tang Wen said.
"You're pretty good to her." Dongfang Kongming touched his chin and hummed.
"This is because she is my big customer." Tang Wen said.
"When did she become your big customer?" Dongfang Kongming looked at Tang Wen in confusion.
"She sold 70% of my goods. I have never seen such a big customer. Moreover, when I saw her loading the goods, my jaw almost dropped," Tang Wen said.
"What do you mean?" Dongfang Kongming asked through his nose.
"Her void bag is so big." Tang Wen said.
"How big can it be?" Dongfang Kongming hummed.
"It's as big as a hundred-story pagoda, even Old Man Tianlei can't refine it," Tang Wen replied.
"This is indeed big enough." Dongfang Kongming twitched his lips again and answered after a long while.
"Moreover, she eats Xiaozhu Guowang like jelly beans. I heard from her that the fruits at home are like eating them. If you want to eat, you can take out one and eat it." Tang Wendao, of course, must establish the image of Hong Xiu, a tall man, in the eyes of the West.
Here, I want to make Dongfang Kongming feel that he has a good relationship with her.
In this way, if Western Kong Ming wants to torment itself, it has to weigh it carefully.
That's because Tang Wen saw it from the popular villain Kong Ming in the West, and he desperately wanted to know the details of that woman.
"Just a kid from a rich family." Dongfang Kongming said.
"At that time, the city lord, you left in anger, and Red Sleeve's bodyguard Zhang Chang injured your guard captain again. I was very scared. This time, I mainly came to apologize to the city lord." Tang Wen said.
"You still know how to be afraid? I thought you were not afraid of anything." Xingfang Kongming said.
"Of course I'm scared, and I'm also a little angry with Hongxiu. I think she shouldn't let her subordinates act like this, and I warned her not to treat her nurse again.
Later, her men became very arrogant.
And Hong Xiu was too kind to her nanny.
Therefore, Zhang Chang was also scolded.
In the end, he actually gave me a token and told me to show it if the city wanted to kill me." Tang Wen said.
"What token? Let's take a look." Dongfang Kongming hummed through his nose.
"That's it." Tang Wen took it out and handed it over. Dongfang Kongming took it and took a look. Suddenly, the popular little man babbled several times.
"Well, keep it, this token is good. However, you have to be punished." Dongfang Kongming said.
"Punishment, it should be punished, City Lord, you can punish me however you want," Tang Wen said.
"Alas...Tang Wen, I have difficulties too.
You see, some places in the City Lord's Mansion are equipped with bathrooms and electric lights, but many of the subordinate halls in the City Lord's Mansion are not equipped with them.
There are even many subordinate cities that cannot be installed.
Therefore, they made trouble. They said that the Westerners did not pay attention to them. They needed them when fighting and forgot about them when it was beneficial.
What are you talking about! Am I that kind of person?" Dongfang Kongming sighed.
"These people repay kindness with hatred. The city lord is so kind to them. He gives them food, clothing and shelter, but they actually give them a pound of gold. They are simply not human." Tang Wen said angrily.
"Who says it's not? However, I know that this is the great elder instigating people behind the scenes.
Therefore, in order to quell this turmoil, we have to continue to install bathrooms, lights, etc.
However, the quantity required this time is huge, so you have to get a discount.
This discount is your punishment." Dongfang Kongming said.
"It's already 9.50% off, but if you keep discounting, I'll have to lose money. City Lord, you might as well kill me." Tang Wen shouted.
"Okay, you boy, come with me and talk to the elders." Dongfang Kongming stood up and took Tang Wen into the elders' meeting.
Seeing that all the core elders have arrived, they are waiting for the city lord to hold a meeting.
"Everyone, I know that you have many subordinates who need to be taken care of. If you need anything today, just tell Elder Tang and ask him to record it." Dongfang Kongming said.
"Elder Tang, I am in charge of the law enforcement hall.
Xuanwu City is not the only one with law enforcement halls. Every large city also has branches called law enforcement rudders.
In order for law enforcement to proceed more smoothly, all hall entrances must be equipped with electric lights and toilets.
This makes it easier for them to enforce the law and handle cases. According to our statistics, there are 18 entrances under the main law enforcement hall, which need to be installed with 300 lights and 36 bathrooms.
Of course, the extra money is for all the helmsmen." Second Elder Zhao Gong said first.
"My arresting hall has more subordinate halls, twenty-seven of which need to be installed..." Li Yu said.
"When it comes to the number of halls, my city patrol hall has the most number of subordinate halls..."
"We also have quite a few alchemy halls..."
…
Tang Wen took out a pen and paper and kept recording.
"In addition, the city lords' mansions of major subordinate cities have also made requests to install bathrooms and electric lights...
Especially the city lords require that the kitchen be equipped with a gas stove, induction cooker or something..."
After they finished speaking, Dongfang Kongming added, "By the way, Elder Tang, have you remembered everything?"
"Report to the city lord and elders, please remember that there are thousands of bathrooms needed to be installed.
There are 13,931 electric lights, and kitchen equipment needs to be equipped...
Electric lights and induction cookers also need generators and diesel...
The gas needed for the kitchen..." Tang Wen read aloud while holding a notebook.
"How many spiritual stones do you get for this?" Great Elder Wan Fuyuan asked.
"Based on the 9.50 discount, a total of about 980,000 high-grade spiritual stones are needed." Tang Wen said.
"So many?" Zhao Gong was shocked.
"Elder Zhao, I always discount the price at 9.50 points. If we didn't discount it, it would be over 1 million." Tang Wen replied.
"It's too much, even the city lord's palace can't afford it." Li Yu frowned.
"If a portion of the spiritual stone is not enough, it can be converted into low-grade or medium-grade. It can even be converted into silver taels." Tang Wen said.
"That's terrible. If we all paid, we would all have to drink from the northwest wind today." Fifth Elder Ximen Xiangyu said.
"Yes, we have installed bathroom toilets and so on. What should we do if we encounter an emergency?" Dongfang Heluo said.
"You've already pretended that you can't even pay the city guards, how can they still work?"
"This won't work."
"Otherwise, you should stop decorating the city hall."
"Why do you have so many pretense in your law enforcement hall?"
"The medicine hall had better stop pretending."
"Why are you pretending to be in the dining hall? You are still eating with candles lit."
…
Suddenly, a quarrel broke out in the lobby.
The elders were all red-faced and flexing their arms and legs, as if a fight was about to begin.
"Okay!" Bang, the table was punched hard by Dongfang Kongming. Suddenly, everyone calmed down and looked at the city lord.
"Look, what have you done to win over your subordinates?"
"If our subordinates don't recruit us, who will do the work for us? For example, if we encounter a gangster, who will be willing to sacrifice his life?" Li Yu snorted.
"Yes, if one of the subordinate city lords commits a major crime, for example, rebels and causes trouble, and the law enforcement team members are unconvinced and slack in their work, how will the law enforcement hall enforce the law?" Zhao Gong said.
"Everyone, I think our fourth elder position cannot remain vacant forever." Dongfang Kongming said.
"It's long past time to replenish the ranks, otherwise, who would be responsible for the Fourth Elder's work?" Xiangfang Heluo said.
"Who do you think is suitable? Tang Wen, please tell me your opinion." Dongfang Kongming glanced at Tang Wen deliberately. When the people below heard this, they immediately understood.
"How do I know? I'm not a member of the Presbyterian Church. It's up to you whoever says it." Tang Wen quickly shook his head.
"I think Elder Tang is very suitable." Zhao Gong said.
"Yes, Elder Tang is very important. Everyone, you see, Elder Tang has been away for a while, and we all miss him. We can't do without him," Li Yu said.
"But Elder Tang's martial arts is too weak." Cui Shigong said.
"If you have first-level skills and become a member of the Council of Elders of my city lord's palace, wouldn't that make everyone in the world laugh?" Great Elder Wan Fuyuan snorted.
"Some positions do not require strong martial arts, such as Elder Tang. His martial arts is not high, but his role is no less important than ours." Li Yu said.
"That's right! Elder Tang is indispensable." Xingfang Heluo said.
"I think it's better to let Elder Tang become a member of the Tang Changhui.
Of course, it is too high to sit in the position of fourth elder all at once.
You can fill in first and become the last member of the Presbyterian Church, that is, the eleventh elder.
The other elders will just adjust it upwards in turn." Xiangyun Xiangyun said.
"This method is feasible. I have been following the city lord. Although I am not qualified to be a member of the Presbyterian Council, I have to come and record every meeting. In fact, it is equivalent to observing important events.
However, to take charge of the affairs of the whole government, a specific steward is needed to come in and participate in major events.
When the time comes, the elders will be able to conscientiously implement whatever decisions they make, and I think Elder Tang is the most suitable person." Chief Butler Zhou Quan said.
"I can't do this. It would be more appropriate for the chief steward to join the Presbyterian Church." Upon hearing this, Tang Wen quickly refused and said, "You are joking, how can I have time to play with you?"
"This is the decision of the Presbyterian Council. Elder Tang, as you are from the Xuanwu Domain, of course you must implement it." Wan Fuyuan said firmly.
"Elder Tang, this matter is settled.
Come, give the token to Elder Tang.
Also, as usual, the city lord's palace set aside a million hectares of land for Elder Tang as a fiefdom.
Butler, which piece of land is suitable for you?" Dongfang Kongming said.
