It's not as convenient as copper coins, or broken silver.
Of course, because gold is more expensive, it is much more convenient to transport than silver.
At half past one in the afternoon, Tang Wen took Zhang Kui, Zhan Dong and Li Quan and Bu Feng into the cave.
Then the box was opened and the sword was revealed.
Tang Wen swung his saber and slashed at a piece of thin iron sheet, making a crisp sound.
Sparks flew everywhere, Tang Wen struck a few more times, and the piece of iron sheet turned into an 'iron bar'.
"What a knife, what a knife." Li Quan's eyes turned green and he was full of admiration.
"You guys try it." Tang Wen gave the knives to them, and the guys started slashing with all their strength, becoming even more interested.
Down below, Tang Wen distributed palm-sized bows and cubs to them, which again attracted a chorus of admiration.
"From now on, you have to practice more, select a dozen swords and assign them to them, and take them to practice." Tang Wen explained, "As for these small bows, there are only a few, and currently only a few of you are equipped with them. However,
, because it is small, it can be disassembled and worn on the body at any time.”
Down below, Bu Feng went to pick out a dozen people to come in.
These guys were very motivated and didn't come back until dinner at six o'clock in the evening.
Tang Wen really wanted to start traveling again and exchange 800 taels of gold for materials and silver. Unfortunately, the 60 popularity points had not yet been achieved, so he had to give up temporarily.
The next day, several large pots were set up in front of the lake to serve porridge.
Sun Ping and others beat the gongs and shouted at the top of their voices, "Master Tang is serving porridge. The porridge and rice are so fragrant. Everyone who is hungry can come and have their share."
However, no one came in the first two hours.
"Aren't they hungry?" Zhan Dongwen couldn't sit still.
"You ask a dozen people to put on their old tattered clothes, pretend to be disaster victims, go around and eat porridge from all over." Tang Wen said.
Li Quan asked people to do it, and it really worked. He gave them a "trust" to perform.
Soon, a few people came over and asked, "Is it really a porridge donation? Do you want money or something?"
"You don't need money, you have enough to eat, and there is still some shredded meat in the porridge. We, Mr. Tang, are a kind man and let you eat meat." Zhan Dongwen shouted at the top of his voice.
Suddenly, dozens of victims rushed over with bowls, grabbed a bowl and ate it enthusiastically.
By the afternoon, the number of victims had increased to one hundred.
"Master, do you want to tell them about our recruitment?" Zhan Dongwen asked.
"No rush, we'll talk about it in three days." Tang Wen waved his hand.
As a result, after three days of continuous operation, more than 200 people gathered.
"Everyone, Mr. Tang has said it.
If each person is willing to sell himself as a slave to the Tang family, he will receive fifteen taels of silver, and he will be given half a tael of silver per month to keep him fed.
If you wear Mr. Tang's house or live in Mr. Tang's house, you will have one meal of meat within three days, with two dishes and one soup in each meal.
If you don't want to sell yourself, Mr. Tang can also hire you to work for us.
Of course, if you are good at martial arts, you can increase the amount of silver according to your strength." Zhan Dongwen said.
"How much does it cost to work naked for a day without selling your body?" someone asked, holding a bowl.
"Forty copper coins!" Zhan Dongwen replied.
"Are you in charge of the food?" asked a thin man.
"I don't care about the rice, but you can exchange the copper coins at Mr. Tang's place for rice, which is twenty copper coins per pound.
You have also eaten the rice just now. Mr. Tang’s rice is of the best quality.
Moreover, there is no sand in it.
Although the price is the same as that on the market, Mr. Tang’s rice is better,” Zhan Dongwen said.
"Everyone, we can change the rice you bought into porridge. However, there is no meat in the porridge. Only by selling yourself to me, the Tang family, can we eat meat." Tang Wen stood up and pointed to a wooden table next to him.
"This is the food for my Tang family's slaves, although meat can only be eaten once in three days.
However, every meal usually comes with a bowl of broth and two dishes.
If you are good at martial arts, add another vegetable and eat one meal of meat a day.
Like Zhan Dongwen, they are good at martial arts, and they are the guardians of the Tang family, so they eat better than others."
Seeing the Tang family slaves eating delicious food, many victims were left to swallow their saliva.
"Mr. Tang, my name is 'Zhao Du'. I have practiced martial arts. I have a wife and children at home. Do you want them too? Do you still take care of the food?" asked a man with dark skin and muscles.
"Your wife should be able to help the Tang family with work, and the old man can do some easy work.
There is no need for children to work. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will open a school.
Let your children have books to read, and I want them all," Tang Wen said.
"Okay, I'm willing to sell myself to the Tang family." Zhao Du said.
"You have practiced martial arts. These iron locks weigh one hundred kilograms, two hundred kilograms, and three hundred, four hundred, five hundred, and six hundred kilograms. Come and move them. I will give you as much money as you can lift."
Tang Wen pointed at the iron lock Li Quan and the others carried out and said.
Zhao Du walked up to the 600-pound iron lock. He mustered up all his strength, punched his arms, and shouted, "Get up!"
However, the iron lock only moved and could not be lifted. Zhao Du's face suddenly turned red.
"It's okay. If the 600-jin one doesn't work, try the 500-jin one." Tang Wen encouraged him.
So Zhao Du went to try another five hundred kilograms, but he still couldn't move it.
Finally, he rushed towards the 300-pound weight, roared violently, and finally hugged it.
"Okay, your prostitution money will be increased to thirty taels, and you will be given twenty taels per month, and you will be included in the nursing home team. Each of your family members will be given ten taels of silver, and you will be given half a tael per month. They will do some easy work, and they will have food and accommodation."
Consider me the Tang family." Tang Wen said.
Zhan Dongwen immediately wrote the contract, Zhao Du pressed his fingerprints and ran away with excitement on his face.
Soon, I brought my wife, children and mother over.
Tang Ling immediately arranged tents for them. Of course, men and women would live separately, and the children would stay with their mothers.
For the time being, Tang Wen's tents are not enough, and it is impossible to provide one for each family.
For every one, there were two. At the end of the day, another fifty or so strong men sold themselves to the Tang family. Counting their family members, the number reached seventy-two.
In addition, 60 people became part-time workers for the Tang family.
Tang Wen is not in a hurry, believing that they will all become slaves of the Tang family in the future.
After all, the difference in treatment between day laborers and Tang family slaves is so obvious that just two dishes and one broth can defeat their strong will.
"You have accumulated 60 points of popularity, and you can start the third time travel." At this time, the Landlord Space responded.
The next moment, 72 people's heads popped up and stabbed at Tang Wen.
After entering the palace for the second time, Tang Wen quickly returned to the tent to breathe, and used the "Six Mysteries Returning True Secret" to guide the human energy into the body.
The pain came over again, and two acupuncture points in his body made a loud banging sound.
After half an hour, all the hardships came to an end and I felt as comfortable as soaking in a hot spring.
Tang Wen looked into the space and found that the data displayed on the giant screen had changed:
Popularity index:148.
Land area: 2338 hectares.
Wealth index: 1500 taels of gold.
Martial arts realm: Late stage of ninth grade.
Salute load: 300 tons.
Travel time: fifteen days.
Another level of skill is raised, it must be because seventy-two people have joined it.
In the middle of the night, Tang Wen took off again.
When I landed, I found that it was daytime again in Yunhai City, so I chose a remote area and rented a large warehouse with over a thousand square meters.
Then he went straight to the Eight Blessings Gold Tower, where he sold 800 taels of gold for 9.6 million yuan.
He spent 6 million to buy back 30,000 taels of silver, and the remaining 3 million Tang Wen used to buy cement, steel bars, tents, rice flour, water pipes and other supplies.
A gravel crusher and a sand crusher were added because this time I went back to Tangfeng to rebuild the dam.
So, he took the video of Wolong Lake to the Provincial Design Institute and spent 500,000 to get a water conservancy construction drawing.
Moreover, I spent more than ten days learning water conservancy knowledge from water conservancy experts.
I also took a video so that I can refer to it anytime if I don’t understand something when I go back.
This time we also purchased a batch of office equipment, such as computers, desks, conference tables, etc.
Because Chu State has no electricity, it can only be replaced by storage batteries for the time being.
The most important thing is that Tang Wen also borrowed several million from the Luo family to purchase a small surveying and mapping drone.
At that time, the whole picture of Koh Samui will be surveyed and mapped, and the next time I come back, I will come up with a complete island construction plan of Koh Samui.
Otherwise, it would be too wasteful to just build things randomly and then develop them again when you have money, then demolish them and build them.
This time we returned home fully loaded with 300 tons of supplies, of which 200 tons were cement.
Because Tang Wen planned to build dams and canals to revitalize Wolong Lake.
"Ding dong, to activate time travel for the fourth time, you need to accumulate a hundred popularity points.
Once the popularity reaches 1,000, the system will upgrade it to 2.0.
By then, the distance you have traversed will be even greater.
The system will select a second destination for you to travel through, instead of being limited to the Dadong Republic."
This temptation is not small. Tang Wen is very looking forward to what the second target crossing place will be like and where is it?
However, as soon as I came back to my senses, I heard the sounds of fierce fighting and shouts of killing.
