Chapter 324: Ten times the capacity (1)
“I ate it, I ate the entire thing. However, I almost died from the heat. ” Tang Wen said. He found that the little human – like man on the Western Kongming’s head had a look of pity on his face, as if he wanted to peel the sky off and take the fruit out of his stomach. “A natural fruit, kid. Do you know what a natural fruit is?” Xi Kongming said. “I don’t understand! However, Hong Xiu said that the spiritual power of the natural fruit was a hundred times more than the little Vermillion Fruit King. I just felt hot, that’s all. After that, I quickly ate tu qianqiu’s Ice Spirit pill and ate a lot of them before I survived. Otherwise, he would die from the heat. Next time, I won’t eat it even if I’m beaten to death. ” Tang Wen played dumb. “What are you eating? do they still have more? That was a treasure! It’s a waste for you to eat it. It should be given to us spirit focus realm and even divine sense realm experts to eat. After eating it, it can increase one’s power by one level. Sigh ... You brat, what should I tell you? what a pity. That’s right, you should have mentioned three or four minor realms. ” Xi Kongming’s face was full of anger. “No, I only got promoted by one small level, city Lord.” Tang Wen shook his head. “Rank 1? impossible! “You’re only rank -1. It’s even possible for you to be promoted to rank -5 or 6. Of course, that’s only if you’re still alive. ” Xi Kongming obviously didn’t believe him. “I really only raised one level, I can swear it! I swear on my mother’s name!” Tang Wen said. “Forget it, forget it. Maybe something went wrong.” Of course, Xi Kongming believed him. He waved his hand and said,”has she left?” “Who’s gone?” Tang Wen pretended to be dumb. “Hong Xiu.” Xi Kongming said. “She didn’t leave. She said she would wait until her nanny, Mrs. Zhong, recovered. She’ll probably have to stay for a while, and I’m even preparing to build her a villa. ” Tang Wen said. “A villa?” Western Kongming didn’t understand. “It means a mansion.” Tang Wen said. “You’re pretty good to her. ” Xi Kongming touched his chin and snorted. “Well, because she’s my big client.” Tang Wen said. “When did she become your big customer?” Xi Kongming looked at Tang Wen in confusion. “She sold 70% of my goods. I’ve never seen such a big customer. Also, I almost dropped my jaw when I saw her packing. ” Tang Wen said. “What do you mean?” Xi Kongming asked through his nose. “Her Void Bag is so big.” Tang Wen said. “How big can it be?” Xi Kongming snorted. “The hundred – story Pagoda is so big that even the old man Tian Lei can’t make it.” Tang Wen replied. “This one is indeed big enough.” Xi Kongming’s lips twitched again, and he only responded after a long while. “Also, she eats the little Vermillion Fruit King like she’s eating jelly beans. I heard that she eats fruits at home, so she takes one out to eat whenever she wants to.” Tang Wen said. Of course, he wanted to establish a noble image in the eyes of Kong Ming in the West. On the other hand, he had to make Xi Kongming feel that he had a good relationship with her. As such, even if Xi Kongming wanted to torment him, he would have to think twice. That was because Tang Wen could tell from the Western little man’s appearance that he really wanted to know the woman’s background. “She’s just a daughter of a rich family. ” Xi Kongming said. “At that time, you left in anger, and Hong Xiu’s guard, Zhang Chang, injured your personal guard Captain. I was very afraid, so I came here to ask for forgiveness.” Tang Wen said. “You still know fear? I thought you weren’t afraid of anything. ” Xi Kongming said. “Of course I’m afraid. I’m also a little angry with Hongxiu. I don’t think she should let her subordinates do this. I also warned her not to treat her nanny again. Later on, her subordinates were actually very arrogant. And Hong Xiu was too good to her nanny. Therefore, he also rebuked Zhang Chang. In the end, he actually gave me a token and told me to show it if the city Lord wants to kill me. ” Tang Wen said. “What token? let me take a look.” Xi Kongming snorted. “This is it.” Tang Wen took it out and handed it over. Xi Kongming took it and glanced at it, and the little human – like person immediately nagged a few times. “Uh, keep it well. This token is not bad. However, you can’t go unpunished. ” Xi Kongming said. “Punish, he should be punished. City Lord, you can say how you want to punish him.” Tang Wen said. “Sigh ... Tang Wen, I have my difficulties too. You see, some places in the city Lord’s mansion have toilets and electric lights, but there are still many subordinate halls in the city Lord’s mansion that have not been installed. There were even many subordinate cities that could not store it. Therefore, they caused trouble. They said that we, Kongming, don’t value them, that we need them in war, and that we forget them when there are benefits. What kind of nonsense is this! Do I look like that kind of person?” Xi Kongming sighed. “These people repay kindness with enmity. The city Lord has been so good to them, giving them food, clothes, and accommodation, but he actually hit them with palladium instead. He’s not human at all.” Tang Wen said angrily. “Who said it wasn ‘t? However, I know that the great elder is instigating people behind their backs. Therefore, in order to calm this storm, they had to continue installing toilets and electric lights. However, I need a lot of it this time, so you’ll have to give me a discount. This discount is your punishment. ” Xi Kongming said. “It’s already a 5% discount, if you give me another discount, I’ll lose money. City Lord, you might as well just kill me. ” Tang Wen shouted. “Alright, you brat, come with me to tell the elders.” Xi Kongming stood up and brought Tang Wen into the elders ‘meeting. Seeing that all the core elders had arrived, they were just waiting for the meeting of the city Lords. “Everyone, I know that you all have many subordinates that you need to take care of. If you need anything today, just tell elder Tang and let him record it. ” Xi Kongming said. “Elder Tang, I’m in charge of the law enforcement Hall. There was more than one law enforcement Hall in Xuanwu city. Every big city also had a branch called the law enforcement Branch. In order for law enforcement to proceed smoothly, all the halls had to be equipped with electric lights and toilets. This would make it easier for them to enforce the law and handle the case. We’ve calculated that there are 18 halls under the law enforcement main hall, 300 electric lights, and 36 bathrooms. Of course, the extra is for the chapter leaders. ” Second elder Zhao Gong spoke first. “There are more subordinate halls under the hall of arrest. There are twenty – seven of them. We need to install ...” Li Yu said. “If we’re talking about halls, my City Patrol Hall has the most subordinate halls ...” “Our pill Hall also has quite a few ...” …… Tang Wen took out a pen and paper and kept recording. “In addition, the city Lord’s manors of the major subordinate cities have also made a request to install toilets and electric lamps ... Especially the city Lords, they requested for the kitchen to be equipped with a gas stove, an electromagnetic stove, or something ...” When they finished, Xi Kongming added,”by the way, elder Tang, have you memorized everything?” “Reporting to the city Lord and elders, I’ve noted down that a total of over a thousand bathrooms are needed. 13,931 electric lights, kitchen equipment needed ... Electric lights and induction cookers also needed generators and diesel ... “The gas that the kitchen needs ...” Tang Wen read out loud in his notebook. “How many spirit stones is this?” First elder Wan Fuyuan opened his mouth. “Based on the 9.5 conversion rate, the total cost is about 980000 upper spiritual stones.” Tang Wen said. “So many?” Zhao Gong was shocked. “Elder Zhao, I’ve given you a discount of 9.5. If you don’t give a discount, it’ll break a million.” Tang Wen replied. “It’s too much. Even the city Lord’s mansion can’t afford it,” Li Yu frowned. “If you don’t have enough spiritual stones, you can convert them into low – grade or mid – grade spiritual stones. You can even convert them into silver.” Tang Wen said. “That’s not good. If we pay it all out, we’ll all have to drink northwest wind today.” The fifth elder Ximen Xiangyu said. “Yeah, they’ve all been installed with toilet bowls and whatnot. What if there’s an emergency?” Xixi Heluo said. “If we can’t even pay the city guards, how are they going to work?” “This won’t do.” “Why don’t you City Patrol Hall wear less?” “Why does the law enforcement Hall have so many things?” “It’s best not to pretend to be a medicine Hall. ” “Why are you guys pretending to be a cafeteria? you can still eat with candles lit.” …… Immediately, the hall was filled with arguments. One by one, the elders ‘faces turned red as they fought. They swung their arms and legs, and it looked like they were about to fight. “Alright, I’m done!” Bang, the table was heavily smashed by Xi Kongming. Immediately, everyone calmed down and looked at the city Lord. “Look at what you’ve become in order to win over your subordinates.” “If we don’t rope in our subordinates, who will work for us? take the arrest Hall for example, if we encounter bandits, who would be willing to work for us?” Li Yu snorted. “That’s right. If a subordinate city Lord committed a major crime, such as rebelling, and the law enforcement team members were unconvinced, how would the law enforcement Hall enforce the law?” Zhao Gong said. “Everyone, I think the position of the fourth elder can’t be left empty any longer.” Xi Kongming said. “It’s time to add in new members. Otherwise, who’s going to do fourth elder’s work?” Xixi Heluo said. “Who do you guys think is suitable? Tang Wen, what’s your opinion?” Xi Kongming deliberately glanced at Tang Wen. When the people below heard this, they immediately understood. “How would I know? I’m not a member of the elder Council. It’s up to you guys to decide who you want to say.” Tang Wen quickly shook his head. “I think elder Tang is very suitable.” Zhao Gong said. “Yes, yes, elder Tang is very important. Look, elder Tang has been gone for a while, and we all miss him. We can’t do without him. ” Li Yu said. “But elder Tang’s martial arts is too weak.” Cui Shigong said. “If a rank -1 martial artist becomes a member of the elders ‘Union in the castellan’s residence, wouldn’t the world laugh their heads off? “Grand Elder Wan Fuyuan snorted. “Some positions don’t require strong martial arts. For example, elder Tang’s martial arts are not high, but his role is no less than ours.” Li Yu said. “That’s right! We can’t do without elder Tang. ” Xixi Heluo said. “I think it’s better to let elder Tang become a member of the Tang Council. Of course, it was too high of a position to be fourth elder all of a sudden. He could fill in the gaps and become the last member of the Council of Elders, which was the eleventh elder. The other elders can just raise it in order. ” Xiangyun said. “This method is feasible. I’ve been following the city Lord all this time. Although I’m not qualified to become a member of the elders Council, I have to come and take notes at every meeting. However, in order to manage the affairs of the entire residence, he still needed a specific Butler to participate in the big matters. At that time, the Council of Elders will be able to seriously carry out any decision they make. I think elder Tang is the most suitable. ” The head butler Zhou Quan said. “I can’t do that. It’s more suitable for the head butler to join the elders Guild.” Tang Wen quickly refused.”Are you kidding me? I don’t have time to play with you.” “This is the decision of the elders Guild. Elder Tang, you are from the Black Tortoise region. Of course, you have to carry it out.” Wan Fuyuan said stiffly. “Elder Tang, this matter is settled. Someone, pass the token to elder Tang. In addition, according to the usual practice, the city Lord’s mansion has allocated a land of a million hectares to elder Tang as his fief. Head butler, which piece of land do you think is suitable?” Xi Kongming said.
