Adding in the dozens received in the past few days, the number is close to 400.
If Li Liao and his gang are willing to sell themselves to the Tang family, they can gather 400 popularity points, and Tang Wen can activate the time travel mode again.
Because he urgently needs to purchase another batch of helmets, body armor, and camouflage uniforms.
Of course, we also need to get a batch of weeding agent. Tang Wen wants to use it to deal with man-eating trees and piranha flowers.
Tang Wen told Tang Jun to conduct experiments and found that spraying a little hoeing grass could not kill the man-eating tree.
However, even after spraying ten times the amount of water, the man-eating tree began to wither and turn yellow.
This is a typical situation where the number of ants is overwhelming. If one bottle doesn't work, I'll give you ten bottles.
If Tang Wen wants to get a batch of weeders back, he also needs to buy a small drone that can spray pesticides.
Once this batch of supplies is obtained, Tang Wen will start to deal with the pirates on the back of the mountain.
The next morning, Tang Wen called Ge Ziyun over.
"Ziyun, we can't just limit ourselves to Koh Samui, we have to develop outside." Tang Wen said.
"Of course, but we haven't even secured Koh Samui yet, so we don't have to rush to develop outside." Ge Ziyun shook his head.
"Then buy the land around the stone bridge first. In the future, we will expand the stone bridge, build buildings across the bridge, and send people to guard it." Tang Wen said.
Because, the ninth time travel required by the big landowner system not only requires a popularity of 400, but also requires an expansion of the land area of 500 acres.
Therefore, Tang Wen must take a two-pronged approach to achieve the standard.
"That should be easy. The land around our stone bridge is all seaside sand and rocks, and it is not suitable for growing food. I will take care of this." Ge Ziyun nodded.
"At least five hundred acres must be purchased first. Of course, the more, the better." Tang Wendao arranged for Li Quan and Zhan Zhao to accompany Ge Ziyun to handle the matter.
After dinner, Tang Wen went to the cave and personally urged his servants to build their own practice place.
"Master, we discovered several other exits yesterday." Zhan Dongwen said.
"Is there another exit?" Tang Wen was stunned.
"It seems like there are several natural caves that lead all the way to the outside. Sunlight can shine in. If they are tidied up, they can be used for ventilation," Zhan Dongwen said.
Tang Wen followed Zhan Dongwen and took a look at it. It was really an excellent ventilation hole.
Those caves lead directly to the outside of the mountain. Outside the caves is Wolong Lake, which is about 400 meters high and about three to four miles away from the lake.
At a glance, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Wolong Lake.
What's particularly curious is that there is the largest passage outside the cave and a huge rock protruding from the mountain rock. It is seventeen or eighty feet long and wide. It is definitely a natural rooftop.
There are more than a dozen huge trees covering the top, left, right and bottom, making it difficult to spot from the outside.
Below the cave is a steep cliff, which is very hidden.
When you are tired from practicing in the cave, you can go to the rooftop to take a breather and breathe out. It is a very rational cultivation environment.
"Sir, this cave is so huge that some parts have to be poured with cement to prevent the gravel from sliding down. Therefore, a lot of cement and steel are consumed in this way," Zhan Dongwen said.
"No matter how many flowers there are, they must be prepared, and a pool must be dug in the cave to bring in the spring water. The cave is a hall, and several rooms, bathrooms, and furniture must be installed..." Tang Wen said.
"Okay, I've already explained it to them. They will build it according to the drawings. For example, sewers, hidden wire installation, etc..." Zhan Dongwen has been following Tang Wen for several months, and he knows many modern terms.
After coming out, Tang Wen looked at the sky and felt that the next step was to consider the installation of the wind turbine.
After all, the electricity condensed by these solar panels alone is simply not enough, and wind power is still a good choice.
A 2.1-megawatt wind turbine can generate about 37,000 degrees of electricity a day.
There are not many electrical equipment at present, two or three are enough.
In the future, as electricity consumption increases, hundreds of units can be installed around the island.
Now that the system has been upgraded, you can fully utilize the caching function of the salute space.
When the time comes, the location of the wind turbines should be determined first. Once you return from time travel, you can directly use the cache to erect the wind power generation equipment.
Because, during the cache period, the items in the salute space no matter how big or tall they are.
You can make it stand upright or lie down according to your own imagination. You can completely install it according to your own requirements and use your thoughts to operate it.
Once the cache period expires, these gifts will have to fall to the ground, and it will be laborious to move them again.
After all, wind turbines are big things weighing tens or hundreds of tons.
If we rely on manpower, how many people will we need?
Even a master like Li Liao can only pull about one ton, so it would take hundreds of people to stand it up.
How could Tang Wen find hundreds of sixth-grade masters? It was almost a fantasy.
Seven days later, Ge Ziyun got back the land contract for more than 2,000 acres.
An acre of fertile paddy fields in the Chu State only costs 40 to 50 taels of silver, and an acre of dry land costs only 20 to 30 taels of silver.
Mountain areas are even cheaper, a dozen or so taels of silver is enough.
The soil at the seaside is not suitable for growing crops, so land is cheaper, about ten taels of silver per acre is enough.
More than 2,000 acres of land, including the relocation of houses within the territory, and the relocation of the cemetery cost a total of 30,000 taels of silver, which was not a big sum for Tang Wen.
In this way, the two or three miles around Shiqiao belonged to Tang Wen. This was the first step in Tang Wen's land expansion.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and Li Liao was focused on training, and his enthusiasm was high.
However, Li Liao did not express to Tang Wen that he wanted to sell himself to the Tang family.
Tang Wen was not in a hurry, because he could probably tell by the popularity emerging from Li Liao's group.
Compared with before, Li Liao's popularity has tilted toward him at an angle of 80 degrees. It was 85 degrees before, indicating that he is leaning a little more toward himself.
As for Wei Guang, Chen Fei and others, the tilt is even greater, almost to the point of kneeling at 45 degrees.
This shows that Li Liao's heart is not completely in favor of him, but Wei Guang, Chen Fei and the others have basically been captured by him.
That night, just after dinner, Wei Guang and Chen Fei entered Li Liao's room.
"Brother-in-law, do we really have to leave tomorrow?" Wei Guang was the first to lose his patience and asked as soon as he entered the door.
"If you don't leave, do you really want to sell yourself?" Li Liao said.
"If you sell yourself, you can sell yourself. What's wrong with that? I think Mr. Tang is pretty good. You see, how good their life is. Although their food is not as good as ours before.
However, the taste of that dish is better than what we had before.
And the living conditions are no worse than what we used to live in. You see, the toilets we used to go to were very smelly. What do they call toilets? They are clean and hygienic.
Moreover, it also smells good.
There is also a special bathroom, which is much better than the wooden buckets we used before.
And that water, it's so convenient, it opens and closes with just a twist, and it's cleaner than the water we drank before..." Chen Fei said.
"And the electric lamp, not to mention the dimness of the oil lamp, even the candles cannot compare with it. Now that I am used to using electric lamps, when I look at the oil lamp again, I feel my eyes are dazzled." Liu Qian said.
"The key is that Mr. Tang has a future here. Look, the dam is such a big project. Thousands of people are working together, and the iron horses are roaring. Once Wolong Lake is built, it will be so beautiful." Zhou Chengjiang said.
"Yes, I heard them say that once the lake is built, a road will be built.
At that time, houses will be built along the road.
Fields need to be plowed outside to divert water into the fields to grow crops.
I admire Mr. Tang, no one else can compare to him," Wei Guang said.
"If nothing else, just take the equipment we wear, it's so awesome, not even the Black Cavalry can compare with us.
We all have martial arts skills. Once we sell ourselves to the Tang family, we will definitely be incorporated into the personal guard.
I heard that the monthly salary of the guards is also divided according to the level of martial arts.
Sir, you can get five or six taels of silver a month, as well as some pills.
We can also get three taels and some elixirs.
Here we have food, clothing, money, and elixir cultivation, what's wrong with that?" Chen Fei said.
"Why, I gave you a little benefit and you all changed? If I give you a few hundred taels each, will I even be killed?" Li Liao snorted with a straight face.
"We will never betray your lord, but what we tell is the truth, and your lord has seen it," Chen Fei said.
"Wei Guang, do you think so too?" Li Liao glared at his brother-in-law fiercely.
"Brother-in-law, don't worry. Even if Mr. Tang gives me gold, mountains and silver seas, I won't betray you. However, what they said is reasonable. We are also doing it for the best of brother-in-law." Wei Guang glared at Li Liao, feeling a little scared.
"Then what do you think is Tang Wen's greatest benefit?" Li Liao asked.
