Chapter 262

Chapter 262: Chapter 267 – the Supreme prefect is also complaining (1)

Moreover, it was said that he had been wandering around the world since he was ten years old. His master was a mysterious scholar who had picked him at first sight when he had visited Green Bull town. Wen Jinyuan was only five years old then. ” Tang Wen said. “What is Wen Jinyuan’s strength?” Luo Yiwu asked. “Probably advanced or perfected rank -3. He’s a little stronger than Yu Chang and the others.” Tang Wen said. “That’s better. ” Luo Yiwu heaved a sigh of relief. “I’ve already told him not to show his face for the time being. He’ll change his appearance and follow me to liangzi village. He’ll disguise himself as my servant. Feng jiuxue is my little girl.” Tang Wen said. “I see, but is Feng jiuxue willing?” Luo Yiwu asked. “She took two of my spirit stones, so I have to solve the case first. However, this woman’s Feng clan was not simple. I have to find a way to bring her into the Tang family. From now on, we have people in the six Fan School. We must put people in such a big organization. For example, Chu Zhao is considered to be in the military. However, Chu Zhao’s current position is still too low and he can’t be of much use. ” Tang Wen said. “But it’s impossible for higher ranked officials to sell themselves to the Tang family.” Luo Yiwu said. “Let’s take it slow, there will be a chance. But Wan Hansong is a good target. ” Tang Wen waved his hand. “He, how is that possible? He’s a chief governor, from a second – rank high official to the governor of a province. ” Luo Yiwu shook his head. “There are some things that, as long as you have tasted the sweetness, you want to continue to lick it. This time, I gave him a realm – breaking pill and he broke through. However, the next time, it would be even more difficult to break through. If something happens that requires him to increase his power, he’ll have to come to me. ” Tang Wen said. The next morning, Tang Wen brought Feng jiuxue and Luo Yiwu to the Red River mansion. The magistrate, Zhao Duan, also held the same position as the provincial command division. Zhao Duan’s father – in – Law was from the Chu family, so he must have a powerful background. Zhao Duan didn’t put on any airs when the first – rank uncle from Linghai came to visit. He personally went to the door to welcome Tang Wen and his group. “Greetings, Lord Tang.” Upon seeing Tang Wen, Zhao Duan cupped his hands slightly in greeting. “Lord Zhao is too polite.” Tang Wen returned the greeting. “Please come in.” Zhao Duan was very polite and let Tang Wen walk in front. This was because the rule of Chu State was that the title of nobility was the first priority. Otherwise, even if you were a high official without a title, you would still have to greet the Lords first. This was the privilege of the Chu state’s nobles. Therefore, at the very least, on the surface, the Royal clan of Chu was clearly ranked. After exchanging pleasantries, the two entered the hall, and the maidservants served tea. Tang Wen and Zhao Duan sat on the left and right, while Feng jiuxue sat on the first chair in the lower hall. “Lord Tang, how’s the scenery of the Red River?” Zhao Duan asked with a smile. “That’s right, Jiangnan is a rich place, and the beautiful water mountain is even more beautiful. It’s not like our Linghai, where some people say that unruly people come from poor mountains and turbulent rivers. ” Tang Wen replied. “Of course, I’m not bad compared to the renghai mountains. “But ...” Zhao Duan suddenly frowned and sighed. “What, does Lord Zhao also have something to worry about?” Tang Wen asked, noticing that the ‘human figurine’ above Zhao Duan’s head was looking around. “It’s all because of the war in the Northwest. Look, it’s not over there, but there’s another fight in the East. Our Red River is very famous, so the tasks assigned by the Imperial court are very important, similar to the tasks assigned by your provincial capital, Jiang Zhou. Although the Red River mansion was huge, Jiang Prefecture was still a provincial capital. As a result, we’ve been thrown into confusion. They were already out of breath, but the sun nation in the East had invaded. Isn’t this the Imperial court’s mission? it’s making things worse. ” Zhao Duan’s face was full of worry. “That’s right, not only is Lord Zhao depressed, at this time, all the officials in the Imperial court are having headaches. ” Tang Wen nodded. “I heard that Lord Jue has bought a few islands and is hiring a large number of people to develop them?” Zhao Duan asked. “Lord Zhao, how did you know?” Tang Wen was stunned for a moment. After all, the Red River mansion was close to 2000 miles away from SuMei Island. With such a long distance and underdeveloped communication, it was impossible for anything to reach here. “I have a relative who’s an official in the battle merits Hall of the ridge sea. He just came back yesterday evening. I treated him to a meal and during the meal, I casually asked about you, Lord Jue. He said that Lord Jue was incredible. He had donated no less than a million taels to Jiang state capital alone. What was even more terrifying was that the governor of Linghai City and the chief administrator had added tens of thousands of battle merits to Lord Jue’s name. Only then did he know that Lord Jue needed people to open up the Land And Farm, and even bought a batch of official slaves. My relative said that this is the greatest battle achievement the Linghai war merits division has collected in the past ten years. My relative has calculated that Lord Jue’s military achievements have reached 200000. ” Zhao Duan said. ‘Damn ... I’m being watched again ... “Two hundred thousand. If one battle achievement is calculated at one hundred taels of silver, wouldn’t that be more than twenty million taels?” Feng jiuxue, who was sitting below him, was shocked and looked at Tang Wen in a daze. “Hehe, I saved a Great Western merchant in the past. In order to return the favor, he sent me a large number of goods from the West. Therefore, most of these merits were paid for with Western goods. For example, a military tent was worth twenty to thirty battle achievements, and a good sword could be worth hundreds or even thousands of battle achievements, as well as wine and so on. Otherwise, how would I be able to take out so much silver? For example, that batch of official servants, plus the land of the official in Green Bull town, a total of three million taels. That’s because the provincial governor’s office owes my tent money, so I’m using it to pay off the debt. ” Tang Wen said. “Yes, yes. My relative also said that Lord Jue has brought back many strange things from the West, all of which are very expensive. For example, lighters are quite good, and we have bought a few of them. There are also perfumes and lipsticks. My wife loves them a lot. Last night, a relative brought some home and gave them to her. Lord Jue, do you think my Red River City is okay?” Zhao Duan asked. Tang Wen noticed that the ‘human – faced little person’ on his head was staring at him with a face full of desire. It seemed that he would have to bleed again ... “Not bad. It’s comparable to the provincial capital of Linghai, Jiangzhou. Moreover, in terms of wealth, you guys are better. ” Tang Wen nodded. “Of course, the Red River province is a big mansion in the suhu province. There are quite a few rich people here. Why don’t you, Lord Jue, transport your things to me and sell them?” Zhao Duan said. “That’s great. I’ll see if I can build a big shop. ” Tang Wen nodded. “A large shop will need a lot of manpower, like guards, servants, and so on.” Zhao Duan said. “Of course,” Tang Wen nodded, but he was suddenly stunned. This was because Zhao Duan’s tiny figure had actually revealed a huge workshop. It looked like a sewing workshop, and there were a large number of people moving inside. Could it be that this fellow wants to sell the sewing workshop to me? “Hahaha, just in time. Our Jiangnan cloth and silk are world – famous. Every year, we have to pay tribute to the Imperial Palace, and our Jiangnan cloth is spread all over the country. In the past, they would send a considerable amount of cloth to the great Qin every year. However, the market had not been good recently, and they were at war with them, so this business was lost. As a large number of disaster victims ran around, the cloth business was also affected. My official clan is going to sell a workshop, and that workshop is in Red River City. The location isn’t too remote, I can sell it to you at a discount. Among them, there was also a group of official slaves. I’ll give it to you as well, just like your Governor. Not only will I give you people and land, but I’ll also give you battle merits and half the amount. ” Zhao Duan said. “Oh, what’s the workshop called? how big is it? how many officials and slaves are there? what kind of officials and slaves are they?” Of course, Tang Wen had the intention. He was short of people. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to achieve the popularity quota by traveling through time and space.
