"The man didn't say anything. He said that Captain Yang recommended him to come to see you, sir. We will discuss it in detail after seeing him." Li Quan shook his head.
So, Tang Wen went directly into the living room.
I found a man in his thirties sitting in the hall, wearing a light green cloth robe and a round face. Although he was dressed very ordinary.
However, sitting on the chair gives people a feeling of calmness and self-power, as if they are people who have been in official circles all year round.
"Sire!" When he saw Tang Wen come in, the man was slightly startled, then stood up and clasped his fists in greeting.
"What's your surname?" Tang Wen nodded and asked.
"My friend, Li Liao, is Yang Yun's classmate and friend, and they passed the Wu Jinshi exam together. This is a letter he wrote, please read it first." Li Liao said, taking out a letter and handing it over.
After receiving it, Tang Wen tore open the letter and read it.
Hello, lord count!
Li Liao is a good friend of mine, a native of Haisheng City. We were both classmates at the same school, and Wu Jintu was in the same year.
One year we encountered bandits and we fought side by side and killed eighteen of them.
At the beginning of that year, we worshiped each other. However, after becoming a Jinshi, he went to Yuzhou Prefecture and was promoted to the position of one hundred households in Yuzhou Guard Prefecture. His official rank was the sixth rank, which was much better than mine.
It is a pity that the year before last, he offended Chen Wangde, the governor of Yuzhou, and was framed, dismissed from his post, and his house was confiscated, and he was imprisoned for half a year.
It is not convenient for me to come to me after you are released from prison.
Therefore, I would like to write a letter of recommendation to see if I can beg for food under the earl.
This person is an upright person. Last year, he offended Chen Wangde because of a girl named Song Yuanyuan from the piano shop who was a prostitute rather than a prostitute.
Chen Wangde fell in love with that woman, but Chen Yuanyuan refused to obey her until she died. My dear brother came to the rescue, which led to today's situation.
Of course, Sir Alex would be taking risks if he accepted him.
After all, Chen Wangde hated him like a bone, and he left Yuzhou to prevent Chen Wangde from continuing his revenge before moving to Linghai.
Although they belong to different provinces, there is collusion between officials. Please consider it carefully before making a decision.
However, Li Liao's kung fu is even better than mine.
The title lacks a commander who can lead the Guards, so he is suitable.
Sir, please think twice before making a decision, so as not to cause discomfort to you and my brothers.
After reading the letter, Tang Wen gently placed it on the table and said, "Master Li, please sit down."
"I am no longer a member of the Yuzhou family. Sir, please call me Li Liao." Li Liao said.
"Brother Li, please sit down." Tang Wen said again.
"My lord, please give me a quick word, can you do it? If not, I will turn around and leave." Li Liao said.
"Do you have a family?" Tang Wen asked.
He opened his popularity eye and took a look at the popularity mark on Li Liao's head, and found that the popularity mark was pointing straight toward the sky.
Tang Wen could even feel a hint of disdain from his popularity.
It seems that this person looks down on himself.
After all, he was once a sixth-grade master of a hundred households, with thousands of soldiers at his command.
"Yes! There are a total of thirty-six wives, children, and subordinates who follow me, Li Liao. All of my subordinates are very skilled and have been on the battlefield and killed the enemy." Li Liao nodded.
"Where are they now?" Tang Wen asked.
"The one who came with me is outside." Li Liao said.
"Li Quan, please invite them in!" Tang Wen said.
"I'll go." Li Liao said and went out. Soon, a bunch of people came in.
"My father is Li Xian, my mother is Wei Ying, my wife is Zhang Qin, my eldest son is Li Hui, my second daughter is Li Xia, and my third son is Li Tao. This is Song Yuanyuan, the girl from Qinfang that I rescued. She must follow me.
She is sixteen years old this year, so my wife adopts her as her adopted daughter.
The remaining one is Wei Guang, the former Foreign Affairs Committee of the Yuzhou Defense Prefecture, my wife’s brother.
This is General Secretary Chen Guang of the Foreign Affairs Commission...
This group of my subordinates all have ninth- and eighth-grade skills.
They are all brothers who have been implicated because of my affairs and are willing to follow me." Li Liao introduced them one by one.
"Song Yuanyuan, you are very brave." Tang Wen said.
"Thank you for the compliment, Sir. Yuanyuan doesn't dare to take it seriously." Song Yuanyuan walked forward and knelt down in greeting.
"Well, you are all good. However, you have to sell yourself to join our Tang family." Tang Wen nodded.
"Selling yourself?" Upon hearing this, Li Liao and his family members all frowned.
"This is the master's rule. Everyone here has joined the Tang family.
However, Master Tang is very kind to his servants.
We were given food, clothing, and pocket money, and each of us was assigned a room," Li Quan said.
"Sir, we don't need too much silver. We can join your bodyguard and help you," Li Liao said.
"Okay! Let's not talk about selling yourself for now. You can help me first. After ten days, if you feel it's not worth selling yourself, you can leave.
When the time comes, I will give each of you ten taels of silver, two measures of rice, and send you carriages and horses to take you out of the island."
Tang Wen said and said to Li Quan, "Give them a few rooms, take them down to take a bath first, settle in, and have dinner with us at noon."
"Sir, you don't have to waste your time. It's impossible for us to sell ourselves! I won't cause you any trouble, let's leave now." Li Liao said with a cold face.
"You will definitely regret leaving." Tang Wen said.
"I regret it. Haha, the world is so big. Is there really no place for me, Li Liao? With my martial arts skills, I can make a living anywhere." Li Liao sneered.
"Although the world is big, I only have one part here. Brother Li, don't talk big words for now. You can follow me for a while and then decide whether to stay for ten days." Tang Wen smiled.
"Then let me see what Sir Alex can do to keep me here?" Li Liao also got angry and snorted.
"Let's go to the bathroom first, wash our faces, and then walk around." Tang Wen said, so Zhan Dongwen and Li Quan acted as guides and took them around.
"Your toilet is really nice." After coming out, Li Liao sighed.
"The toilet still smells good, which is a strange thing in the world." Wei Guang nodded.
"It is very convenient to use water. The mechanism called the faucet is really easy to use. Water comes out when you twist it, and it closes again when you twist it. The water is also very clear and tastes good," said his wife Zhang Qin.
However, when Li Liao and his group saw the roar of the huge gravel and sand crusher.
Huge stones were dumped into the conveyor belt by the truck. After being crushed, gravels of similar sizes and fine sand were delivered to the conveyor belt. Everyone was shocked.
"This mechanism is so powerful that it can crush rocks."
"If someone were thrown in, they would immediately turn into a pile of flesh and blood."
"What are you doing with all this gravel and sand?"
…
Li Liao's men started talking one after another.
When we walked to Wolong Lake, everyone was stunned by the huge scene.
"Dad, look, that iron horse is so awesome. Such a big stone will roll down as soon as you dig it."
"And that one, look, it can lift tens of thousands of pounds of rocks."
"These wires were woven into a mesh, and some mud was poured on them..."
"Dad, I also saw something called a light bulb. It lights up when you press it, and goes out when you press it again. It's much better than a candle. It's so bright."
…
Anyway, Li Liao and his group were all like Grandma Liu when they entered the Grand View Garden, full of curiosity and wonder.
"Sir, I heard that your iron horses and oxen were all shipped back from the West?" Li Liao asked.
"Of course." Tang Wen nodded. Looking at Li Liao's popularity chart again, he found that his popularity was no longer straight and straight, but was shaking slightly.
Tang Wen felt a hint of surprise in his popularity, which showed that Li Liao's attitude had changed slightly.
As long as there are changes, this person will have the possibility to fight for it.
"Sir, he is a man of great ability, and Li admires him," Li Liao said, cupping his fists.
"These are just the beginning, there will be more weird and weird mechanisms brought back in the future." Tang Wen said with a smile.
"I just borrowed your swords to look at them. They are all made of fine steel and are better than the swords we use in the military camp." Wei Guang said.
"Especially those small bows and arrows. Although the arrows are small, they are very powerful.
Moreover, there are some mechanism settings on it for better aiming.
The chance of hitting is greater and the distance is farther." Chen Fei said.
"Things from the West are good. I used to follow the commander-in-chief on his western expedition, and I saw the commander-in-chief use something. That thing is called a telescope. You can see things more than ten miles away with a single glance, and it's very clear." Li
Liao said.
"It should be a single cylinder!" Tang Wen said.
"That's right, it's a single-cylinder one that can only be seen with one eye. However, I heard from the commander that it was specially given to the royal family by a businessman in the West, and it is very expensive." Li Liao nodded.
