βOf course, itβs from the West, itβs very expensive.β Tang Wen opened his mouth and blew out a few smoke rings. That was because li Dawangβs face was glowing. He was probably fantasizing about himself blowing out smoke rings. βBy the way, I heard that you owe the workshopβs craftsmen a lot of silver?β Tang Wen asked. βAround 100000 taels. Otherwise, my workshop wouldnβt be selling it at such a low price. Damn it, someone actually lowered the price to one hundred and eighty thousand taels. My workshop isnβt trash. β Li Dawang said angrily. βWho are they?β Tang Wen took another cigarette and handed it over as he asked casually. βFang Qiang, Liu Hesen, and the others.β Li Dawang said. βAlthough the workshop is old and shabby, it still has a lot of land. Three hundred thousand taels is indeed not a high price. Shopkeeper li is very honest.β Tang Wen said. βOf course. If Iβm not in a hurry to sell it, itβll be worth at least four to five hundred thousand taels.β Li Dawang said. βI wonβt play dumb with you anymore, I want your workshop. However, I canβt come up with 300000 taels in a short time. β Tang Wen said. βThis, I need silver, I donβt give credit.β When li Dawang heard this, he quickly shook his head and said. βPreviously, that unruly Tang Army brought a few hundred people to surround masterβs house. If we donβt pay them, they will cause trouble again. Therefore, I canβt buy on credit. β The advisor explained. βMinister li, what do you think? I want all the workers of qianye workshop. Donβt you owe them a hundred thousand taels? Iβll take this, Iβll only give you the rest of the money. β Tang Wen said. βWill they be willing?β Li Dawang said after thinking for a while. βIβll deal with them. If they donβt agree, Iβll give you silver. β Tang Wen said. βThen youβll have to settle them first,β Li Dawang said. βDeal!β Tang Wen nodded and said,βgather them at qianye workshop. Iβll deal with them.β βIn the past, I could gather them, but ever since the attack on my house, they wonβt listen to me anymore.β Li Dawang shook his head. βAlright, Iβll take care of this.β Tang Wen nodded his head and said to GE Ziyun,βbring the things up.β GE Zi Yun nodded and placed a mirror, lipstick, and perfume on the table. βDid you also buy this from the wafting fragrance brothelβs Lin Qian βer?β Li Dawang blurted out. βHow much did Lin Qian βer pay you for one?β Tang Wen asked. βThis ...β Li Dawang was hesitating. βHehe, you might be killed by her.β Tang Wen said with a smile. βThis B * tch, a mirror costs one tael and five maces of gold, and a lipstick and perfume costs one tael of gold. I took a mirror back to the shop and sold it for two taels of gold, while lipsticks and perfumes cost one tael of gold, and they actually said it was expensive. Donβt tell me that I, li Dawang, donβt earn money and give it to them for free? However, even if they think itβs expensive, theyβre not afraid. Thereβs no more stock now. β Li Dawang cursed. βHow many do you want?β Tang Wen looked at him with a smile. βDonβt tell me you still have more?β Li Dawang was stunned. βA mirror is worth two taels of gold, so of course itβs expensive. If itβs a mirror that costs one to five taels, wouldnβt it be much easier to sell?β Tang Wen asked. βOf course,β Li Dawang nodded and said. βMy mirror is one tael and two coins, and my lipstick and perfume are seven coins of gold. How much do you want? just tell me. β Tang Wen said. βYou really have the goods?β Li Dawangβs eyes immediately widened. βThey just arrived. Not many, but around a thousand.β Tang Wen said. βAlright, I want half.β Li Dawang said. βThe gold has to be paid first. Weβll hand over the goods after the money.β Tang Wen said. βSure!β Li Dawang turned to his master and said,βning ping, go back and get the gold.β βOld master, we donβt know how much we can take. Letβs count first and then go back to get it.β Ning ping said. βTwo hundred mirrors would be two hundred and forty taels. Five hundred lipsticks and perfumes would be three hundred taels, so the total would be five hundred and ninety taels.β Tang Wen helped him calculate. βWhen and where will you deliver the goods?β Li Dawang asked. βItβs right here. My goods are in the carriage. If you want them, you can trade immediately.β Tang Wen said. βNing ping, go back and ask Madam for the gold.β Li Dawang said. Ning ping nodded and left in a hurry. When he walked out of the river gazing restaurant, Tang Wen had another 500 taels of gold in his pocket. Of course, the lighter and a pack of cigarettes were taken away by li Dawang as a free gift. In the afternoon, Tang Wen arrived at the Yamen. Yang Yun asked head Liu to take him to the prison. The Tang Army soldier was 1.76 meters tall, thin, and had bright eyes. He was not old, looking to be about 23 or 24 years old. βTang Army, this is the Earl, Tang Wen.β Class monitor Liu opened the cell door and introduced. βYour Excellency the Earl, why have you come to this dirty and stinky prison to look for me?β The Tang Dynasty soldier asked coldly as he leaned against the wooden fence and sat on a pile of straw. βYou can bring the craftsmen to ask li Dawang for his wages. This shows that you have a heart of justice and are a warrior!β Tang Wen looked at him and said. βIβm not a warrior, I just want to get back my hard β earned money. β The Tang Army snorted. βThis is what I should do!β Tang Wen nodded. βShould? Why did I come here? Ask them if thereβs any place in this world thatβs reasonable. β The Tang Army pointed at class monitor Liu and said. βYou can ask for wages, but you canβt bring people to besiege Minister Liβs mansion. Squire li has reported you for attacking a private residence and causing trouble. We are the constables of Yanling Prefecture, of course we have to take you down. β Class monitor Liu snorted. βYouβre the dogs of the rich. Of course, youβll help them.β The Tang Army snorted. βWho are you calling a dog?β Class monitor Liu was instantly enraged. He raised his whip and was about to whip someone. βItβs done,β Tang Wen snorted, and class monitor Liuβs hand, which was holding the whip, stopped in the air. βDid you see that? you donβt dare to make a move after Lord Jue farted. What are you if not their dog?β The Tang Army mocked. βIβll beat you to death, you bastard!β Class monitor Liu was furious and lashed out with his whip. However, Tang Wen pushed him aside and threw him a tael of silver.βYou go out first and wait outside.β Boss Liu took the silver and glared at him.βIβll let you off today for the sake of Lord Jue.β βNo need! Iβm not familiar with him, so just kill me. β The Tang Army sneered. Class monitor Liuβs face turned red with anger and he raised his whip again. βWhat, do you want me to call Constable yang over?β Tang Wen said coldly. Pa! Class monitor Liuβs whip hit the wood hard and he walked away in a Huff. βAlthough you have a great face and let me avoid a beating. However, you donβt have to plead for li Dawang, that animal. The Tang Army will not accept your favor. I only have a rotten life, so you can kill me if you want. β The Tang Army soldier said coldly. βHim! Itβs not worth it for me to speak for you. β Tang Wen said coldly. βThen whatβs your reason? Our Tang Army has nothing but this rotten life. β The Tang Army said. βI want to buy your rotten life.β Tang Wen said. βOh? Hahaha, thereβs actually someone who wants to buy my life. Funny, this is too funny. β The Tang Army was stunned for a moment before they burst into laughter. βSince youβre so righteous and want to stand up for your hundreds of brothers and sisters, why did you give up halfway?β Tang Wen asked. βIβll give up halfway? It was those bastards who captured me. β The Tang Army shouted excitedly. βCan pride solve problems? Was there any use in shouting? I think youβre stupid!β Tang Wen said. βIβm useless, but youβre useful. Tell me, how are you going to get back the wages for hundreds of people?β The Tang Army mocked. βWork for me, and Iβll pay you.β Tang Wen said. βWhat are you doing?β The Tang Army asked. βHave you heard of somi Island?β Tang Wen asked. βOf course, itβs just a deserted island. Furthermore, Pirates are running rampant there, and itβs very chaotic. β The Tang Army said. βThat Island is mine.β Tang Wen said. βYour ...β Tang Jun was stunned and looked at Tang Wen in a daze. βI need manpower to reclaim wasteland and build irrigation facilities. In the future, he would make sure that everyone had food to eat on somi Island. Everyone has clothes to wear, and children have the luck to attend school. β Tang Wen said. βWould you be so kind? Hehe, youβre just trying to squeeze us to work for you. β The Tang Army sneered. βIf you donβt work and just want to eat and wear clothes, thatβs a lazy man. I, Tang Wen, donβt support lazy men. You have to fight for happiness with your own hands, not dream every day and hope for a pie to fall from the sky. β Tang Wen said. βWhat do you want us to do?β The Tang Army was stunned. After thinking for a while, they asked. βSimple, sell yourself to the Tang family. Letβs build somi together and realize our dreams. Thatβs because I want to buy qianye workshop and take you over as well. At that time, Iβll deduct your wages and Li Dawangβs money to buy qianye workshop. In this way, you can get your wages back. However, the condition is that you must sell yourself to the Tang family and work in somi Island. β Tang Wen said.
