Chapter 72: Chapter 71 – a gift should be a great contribution (1)

“Ah ...” Gu hanyan was stunned. She turned around and glanced at him.”He deserves it!” It’s just a little swollen, what are you screaming for as a man?” “Damn, isn’t this meat? Come here quickly, help me apply the medicine. ” Tang Wen said in pain. “Don’t we have Ding Xian?” Gu hanyan pouted. “Aren’t you my personal maid? If you don’t apply the medicine, who will?” Tang Wen said. Gu hanyan’s lips moved, and she knelt down helplessly to apply the medicine on Tang Wen. On the other side, the battle was nearing its end. The Pirates who were not dead ran around in panic and jumped into the sea. Most of the Pirates threw their muskets and squatted down to surrender. “Master, Lord tie is here.” At this time, Zhao du shouted from outside. Tang Wen had just finished applying the medicine and looked up. Wasn’t it tiemongjing? “Junior Brother, you’ve done a great service this time.” Tie Wen Jing strode in and said. “Great merit? senior brother, are you referring to the Pirates?” Tang Wen asked. “Of course. You see, you’ve annihilated and captured hundreds of Pirates. You’ve treated them like your enemies. A pirate court would give you a battle merit, but you’ve earned hundreds of battle merits. One battle merit can be exchanged for a hundred taels of silver. Haha, Junior Brother, you’ve earned tens of thousands of taels in one go. Moreover, exterminating Pirates is more imposing than directly donating silver. With your military achievements and the silver you donated, it’s easier for the court to agree to your promotion after reporting it. ” The teeman mirror said. “Even if I was promoted to a first rank Earl, I could only support a personal guard of four to five hundred people. Look at how big my somi Island is, it would be impossible to defend it without a few thousand people. For these Pirates to openly steal my Tang family’s Silver mine, there must be an even greater master behind them. At that time, a large number of Pirates will attack, and my Tang family will be in danger. ” Tang Wen said. “That’s a problem. ” Tie Wen Jing nodded and thought for a moment,”however, it’s not like there’s no way.” “Senior brother, what good idea do you have?” Tang Wen asked. “I haven’t thought about it yet. I’ll tell you when I’ve thought about it.” The teeman mirror said. “Senior brother, you’ve also done a great service this time.” Tang Wen said with a smile. “What merit do I have? recently, the war in the Northwest has become more intense. The Imperial court has mobilized seven to eight hundred thousand troops to fight against the great Qin. In addition to the odd – Job workers, there were more than a million people. There were so many people who needed to eat, dress, feed, and horses. The amount given to us by the higher – ups is five to six times that of Yanling Prefecture. That’s because the higher – ups are pressing us, and if we don’t get enough money, Lord Fu Yi and I will be punished. At that time, I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep my life. ” Tie Wen Jing’s face was full of bitterness and deep hatred. Tang Wen knew that he was acting pitiful and wanted him to donate silver. “This time, we were able to exterminate the Pirates because of your strategy, senior brother. You’re my military counselor. So, you’ll also have a share of the battle merits this time. ” Tang Wen said. Tie Wen Jing was stunned. He looked at Tang Wen and laughed.”You ...” “I’m telling the truth. Ask them if that’s the case. ” Tang Wen asked Luo Yiwu and the others. “Yes, yes, of course it is. It’s all thanks to Sir tie’s proper planning.” Luo Yiwu quickly nodded and said. “Lord tie’s calculations are divine, and his plans are thorough. Our Lord Jue’s commands are appropriate, and with the two of you cooperating well, it’s only natural for the Pirates to not be destroyed.” Dongfang Ming said. “That’s right, that’s right. Many thanks, Lord tie. ” Li Liao cupped his fists. “You guys, after hearing about this matter from Junior Brother, I only gave him a few pointers and some small ideas. Junior Brother is really amazing.” Tie Wen Jing said shamelessly as he stroked his beard. Of course, he understood that Tang Wen wanted to give him military achievements for free. Tang Wen had his own needs. Tie Wen Jing would naturally think of a way to return the favor. This, to put it bluntly, was just a deal. Tie Wen Jing wanted to be known by the Jiang state capital, and this batch of military merits came at the right time, so he could not refuse. “Senior brother, you’re too kind. If it weren’t for your advice, I wouldn’t know where to start ...” Tang Wen said. The two of them flattered each other for a while before counting their battle achievements. “Master, we’ve annihilated a total of 389 Pirates and captured 208. We can’t estimate how many have escaped. They rescued 783 laborers captured by the Pirates and seized a batch of silver taels from the ship that had not been transported in time, a total of 180000 taels. 508 handguns ...”Li Liao reported after he finished counting. “Senior brother, this 180000 Liang of silver was originally from my Tang family’s Silver mine. Therefore, I’ve decided to add another 120000 taels of silver to the donation of 30 taels of silver to the Imperial court. The Jiang state capital will hand it over on my behalf. As for this batch of Pirates, you will send people to Jiang state capital to deal with them. When the time comes, I’ll issue a certificate to the Jiang state capital that we’ve annihilated the Pirates. Senior brother, you’ll be the military advisor for this operation. I’ll let senior brother take all of this back with you. ” Tang Wen said. “Good, Junior Brother has resolved Lord Fuyi’s urgent need, so I’m sure Lord Fuyi will be happy. At that time, I will report the current situation of SuMei Island to master Fuyi. The island needs a defensive force. I’ll find a way to solve some problems for you. ” The teeman mirror said. “I need a force that I can completely control. My Tang family will be responsible for the clothing, food, and housing of these people, and not send a Navy to guard them. Senior brother, you know very well what the Imperial court’s Navy is like. If you come over, you’ll only add to my troubles. ” Tang Wen made a request. “I’ll think of a way!” Tie Wen Jing nodded. He sent someone over to receive the silver and issue an official document. Eight hundred miles away, Jiang state capital had sent a large number of constables to escort hundreds of Pirates away. That night, hundreds of laborers were brought to Tang Wen’s camp. Zhan dongwen and his gang started acting as a helper again, bringing them to the toilet, to wash up, and to the canteen for food ... While the injured were treated for free in the medical room. The next day, he brought them to visit the dam project. Needless to say, Zhan dongwen had done this a few times already, and he was getting more and more skilled. He had even asked Gu hanyan to train a group of commentators to help Tang Wen brag as they walked. The results were out. Out of the 783 people, more than 100 chose to go home, while the remaining nearly 600 chose to stay. Among them were dozens of old craftsmen in smelting. In the future, they would have the foundation to set up a simple smelting factory. “Ding – Dong, you have accumulated 600 people’s Qi. You can now activate your 11th time travel.” There was a response from the earth landlord space, and immediately, more than 600 people rushed to Tang Wen. Tang Wen found that Dongfang Ming had the most popularity among the group of people he had brought back. The popularity of the old craftsmen was not small either, almost reaching Dongfang Ming’s level. However, he felt that the color of the human qi above their heads seemed to be a little different. This meant that it was not necessary to be highly skilled in martial arts to gain popularity. Perhaps the experience, knowledge, and craftsmanship accumulated by these old craftsmen could also increase their popularity. However, the Pirates were selective in their selection of laborers. Therefore, this group of people basically had ninth and tenth – grade skills, and even dozens of seventh and eighth – grade martial artists. This was because smelting required strength, and moving stones also required strength. The people they picked were basically single men, because being single didn’t have that big of a side effect. If he chose someone with a family, they would definitely miss home every day and not work in peace. Moreover, the head of the family’s labor force had gone missing, and they had to report it to the authorities. If the government received too many of these cases, they would naturally pay attention to them. On the contrary, no one cared about these single men. Ten minutes later, Tang Wen picked up the knife and injected his inner Qi into it. Instantly, the neidan Qi that emerged from the tip of the knife was half a foot long. On the other hand, Tang Wen was quite smart. While absorbing human qi, he also took a supplement pill. He exerted all his strength, pressed, stimulated, and squeezed out the potential of his whole body, and his skill advanced. He had also reached the third transformation of the ‘nine transformation formula of fish – Dragon’, and he could jump 15 feet high. He looked up and saw that the data on the big screen in the earth main space had been updated again: Popularity index: 3030 [Land area: 2456 hectares] [Wealth index: 403000 taels of gold] “Martial arts realm: early – Stage rank -6.” [Luggage carrying capacity: 1600 tons] [Time travel: 80 days] The number of troops exceeded 3000, his wealth index soared, his skill level broke through seven, and he entered early – Stage rank -6. Tang Wen struck a palm at a small tree a meter away. His internal organs slowly spurted out, as if a light yellow smoke was blowing. However, the small tree only swayed a little as if it had been blown. The effect was not very good. It seemed that even though he had crossed the threshold of releasing his internal energy, he was still a genius. However, he had to let the internal invisibility truly exert its destructive power. He also needed to constantly refine and temper his inner strength, and be proficient in the control of his inner strength and offensive spell techniques. He felt that the materials he had should be able to last for another one or two months, so Tang Wen decided to open the second transmigration door and see what kind of place it was.
