"Ah..." Gu Hanyan was stunned, turned back and took a look, "You deserve it! It's just a little swelling. What do you call a big man?"
"Damn, isn't this meat? Come here quickly and give me some medicine." Tang Wen said in pain.
"Isn't there Ding Xian?" Gu Hanyan curled his lips.
"Aren't you my personal maid? If you don't give me the medicine, who will?" Tang Wen said.
Gu Hanyan's lips moved, and he squatted down helplessly to apply the medicine to Tang Wen.
Over there, the battle is coming to an end.
The surviving pirates ran around in panic and jumped into the sea. Most of the pirates threw down their firecrackers and squatted down to surrender.
"Master, Master Tie is here." At this time, Zhao Du shouted from outside. Tang Wen had just applied the medicine and looked up. Wasn't it Tie Wenjing?
"Junior brother, you have made great achievements this time." Tie Wenjing strode in.
"Dakong, does senior brother mean pirates?" Tang Wen asked.
"Of course, look, you have killed so many pirates and captured them alive. I'm afraid there are hundreds of them. The pirates are treated the same as the enemies who invaded the Chu Kingdom.
A pirate court will record one battle merit for you, but you have earned hundreds of battle merits.
One battle merit can be worth a hundred taels of silver. Haha, junior brother, you have made tens of thousands of taels in one fell swoop.
Moreover, wiping out pirates is more powerful than donating silver taels directly. With the addition of the silver taels you donate for your military exploits, it will be easier for the court to agree to your title promotion after you report it," Tie Wenjing said.
"Even if you give me a first-class earl, you can only raise about four to five hundred personal guards. Look, my island of Koh Samui is so big that it cannot be defended by thousands of people.
If these pirates openly stole our Tang family's silver mine, there must be a bigger master behind them.
By then, a large number of pirates will attack, and our Tang family will be in danger." Tang Wen said.
"That's a problem." Tie Wenjing nodded and thought for a moment, "However, it's not impossible."
"Senior brother, please tell me if you have any good ideas." Tang Wen asked.
"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll tell you when I think about it," Tie Wenjing said.
"Senior brother, you have made great achievements this time." Tang Wen said with a smile.
"What achievements have I made? The war in the northwest has become more intense recently. The imperial court mobilized an army of 700,000 to 800,000 people to fight against the Qin soldiers and horses.
Including handymen and other labors, the number of people is more than one million.
With so many people to eat and clothe themselves, a lot of food and fodder for the horses was needed.
The amount assigned to us by Jiangzhou Prefecture was five or six times that of Yanling County. Mr. Fuyi was worried to death.
Because the pressure from above is tight, and Mr. Fuyi and I will be fined if we don't make up the amount.
At that time, I'm afraid my life will be at risk." Tie Wenjing looked bitter and full of hatred, Tang Wen knew that he was doing something miserable, just because he wanted him to donate money.
"The ability to destroy the pirates this time was all due to your plans, senior brother. You are my military advisor. Therefore, you also have a share in this victory," Tang Wen said.
Tie Wenjing was stunned, looked at Tang Wen, and said with a smile, "You..."
"I'm telling the truth. Ask them if that's the case?" Tang Wen asked Luo Yiwu.
"Yes, of course it is, it all depends on Master Tie's proper layout." Luo Yiwu nodded quickly.
"Master Tie is clever and well-planned, and our Lord has commanded it well, and with the tacit cooperation of the two of you, there is no natural reason why the pirates will not be destroyed," Dongfang Ming said.
"That's right, that's right, thank you Master Tie." Li Liao cupped his fists and said.
"You guys, after listening to Junior Brother talk about this the other day, Tie and I just gave some pointers in front of Junior Brother and came up with some small ideas. Junior Brother is still the best." Tie Wenjing touched his beard and said shamelessly.
Of course he understood that Tang Wen wanted to give away his military exploits in vain, and Tang Wen had his own needs.
Tie Wenjing reciprocates the favor, and of course he will find ways to reciprocate. This, to put it bluntly, is just a transaction.
And Tie Wenjing wanted to be the magistrate of Jiangzhou Prefecture, so these military exploits came at the right time, and he couldn't refuse.
"Senior brother, what you said is serious. If it weren't for the senior brother's advice, I wouldn't know where to start..." Tang Wen said. The two praised each other for a while, and then counted their military achievements.
"Sir, a total of 389 pirates were killed and 208 were captured. It is impossible to estimate how many pirates escaped.
Rescued 783 workers captured by pirates, and seized a batch of silver taels from the ship that had not yet been transported away, totaling 180,000 taels.
There are 508 fire guns..." After Li Liao finished counting, he came over to report.
"Brother, these 180,000 taels of silver were originally produced by our Tang family silver mine.
Therefore, I decided to add another 120,000 taels, and donate a total of 30 taels of silver to the court, and the Jiangzhou Prefecture would hand it over on my behalf.
As for these pirates, senior brother, you will send someone to escort them to Jiangzhou Prefecture for disposal.
At that time, I will issue a certificate to Jiangzhou Prefecture for the eradication of pirates. Senior brother, you will be the strategist who eradicated the pirates this time.
Senior brother, you will bring these back together." Tang Wen said.
"Okay, Junior Brother has solved Master Fu Yi's urgent need. I believe Master Fu Yi will be happy.
At that time, I will report the current situation of Koh Samui to Mr. Fuyi.
The island needs defensive forces and I will find ways to solve some problems for you." Tie Wenjing said.
"I need a team of troops that I can fully control. The Tang family will be responsible for the food, clothing, housing, and transportation of these troops, instead of sending navy troops to garrison them.
Senior brother, you know very well what kind of virtue the naval officers in the imperial court have. Every one of them has their nostrils turned to the sky.
If you come over then, you will cause trouble for me." Tang Wen made a request.
"I'll think of a way!" Tie Wenjing nodded. He sent someone over to receive the silver and issued the official document.
Eight hundred miles later, Jiangzhou Prefecture sent a large number of agents to escort hundreds of pirates away in a hurry.
That night, several hundred laborers were brought to Tang Wen's camp.
Zhan Dongwen and his group began to act as caretakers again, taking these people to the toilet, washing up, and eating in the cafeteria... while the injured were treated free of charge in the medical room.
The next day, I took them to visit the dam project. Not to mention, Zhan Dongwen had done this several times, and he became more and more proficient at it.
He also specially asked Gu Hanyan to train a group of commentators to help Tang Wen brag while walking.
The results are out.
More than 100 of the 783 people chose to go home, while the remaining nearly 600 people chose to stay.
There are dozens of experienced craftsmen in smelting among them. If we want to build a simple smelting plant in the future, we will have the foundation first.
"Dingdong, you have accumulated 600 popularity points, and you can start the eleventh time travel."
The big landowner's space responded, and immediately, more than 600 people rushed to Tang Wen crazily.
Tang Wen discovered that Dongfang Ming was the most popular and the group of people he brought back had excellent popularity and quality.
And the popularity of those old craftsmen is actually not small, almost reaching the level of Dongfang Ming.
However, it feels like the popular colors and status on their heads are a little different.
This shows that one does not necessarily have to be highly skilled in martial arts to be more popular.
It may be that the experience, knowledge, craftsmanship, etc. accumulated by these old craftsmen can also increase their popularity.
However, pirates are selective in choosing workers, so these people basically all have ninth- and tenth-grade skills, and there are even dozens of seventh- and eighth-grade warriors.
Because smelting requires strength, and lifting stones also requires strength.
And the ones they picked were basically bachelors, because bachelors don't have that big of a side effect.
If you choose someone with a family, they will definitely think about home every day and not be at ease at work.
Moreover, if the main laborer in the family is missing, people will also report it to the official.
If the government receives too many cases like this, they will certainly pay attention to it. On the contrary, these single men are left unattended.
Ten minutes later, Tang Wen picked up the knife and penetrated the inner energy. Suddenly, the inner energy emitted from the tip of the knife was half a foot long.
And Tang Wen was quite smart. When he was absorbing the popularity, he also swallowed the power-boosting pill, and used all his strength to destroy, press, stimulate, and squeeze the potential of his whole body, and his skills improved.
And the 'Nine Turns of Fish and Dragon' actually entered the third turn, jumping one foot and five heights.
Looking up, the data on the big screen in the landlord’s space has been updated again:
Popularity index:3030
Land area: 2456 hectares
Wealth Index: 403,000 taels of gold.
Martial arts realm: Early stage of sixth level.
Salute load: 1600 tons.
Travel time: eighty days.
The number of men and horses has exceeded three thousand, the wealth index has soared, the skill has exceeded seven, and it has entered the early stage of the sixth level.
Tang Wen slapped a palm towards the trunk of a small tree one meter away, and the inner core slowly spurted out, like a puff of light yellow smoke blowing past.
But the little tree just swayed, as if it had been blown, and the effect was not very good.
It seems that although I have crossed the threshold of letting out my inner energy.
However, Nei Gang needs to be able to truly exert its lethality.
You also need to constantly refine and sharpen your inner energy, and be proficient in using the inner energy's eruptions and attacks.
Feeling that the material under his control should still last for a month or two, Tang Wen decided to open the second door to time travel and see what kind of ghost place it was.
