“Sound the alarm and prepare for battle.” Tang Wen immediately jumped up and rushed outside. He realized that Yan Beitian had already ordered his personal guards to put on their bulletproof vests and helmets. They were all armed to the teeth and were aiming their muskets outside. “Strange, why doesn’t he look like someone from cloud ocean sect?” Dongfang Ming looked at it and asked with a confused expression. “Hehe, they’re indeed not from Cloud Sea sect, they should be from the island.” Tang Wen smiled. “Commoners, what are the commoners doing here?” Yan Beitian asked. “The master behind this is cloud ocean sect. They’re instigating them to cause trouble and scare us away.” Tang Wen sneered and said,”when they’re a hundred meters away, fire your handguns to scare them! Set up the black – clothed cannon. If you dare to force your way in, kill!” Ba ba ba … Sure enough, the group of people rushed over. However, the sound of a fire and the smoke made the group stop in a hurry. “Who are you? this is the military camp of Jiang state capital’s deputy commander, Lord Tang. Intruders will be treated as Pirates and killed without mercy!” Yan Beitian stood on top of a steel pillar in the factory, holding a big knife and shouting. “Mighty!” Immediately, all the personal guards began to shout. There was a commotion on the other side, and not long after, they were so scared that they retreated another ten meters before stopping. “You guys are the bandits. This heavenly Rock Island is ours. If you guys want to take our Island by force, get the hell back.” Someone shouted, probably the leader. “How dare you! Lord Tang just bought this from GUI Wusong. It’s written in black and white. Send a few representatives to take a look.” Luo Yiwu shouted. “Right! Yesterday, when Cloud Sea sect came, we had already checked on them, so they left. ” Dongfang Ming shouted. “Everyone, don’t be afraid. I’m tang Wen, the Deputy envoy of Jiang state capital. I bought this Island. You’re all residents of the island. I’m not here to snatch anything from you. I’m not trying to drive you away, I’m just giving you a chance to make a fortune. ” Tang Wen ordered his men to open the gate of the camp and walked out. “Get rich! None of you officials are good people. Let’s not be deceived by him. ” The middle – aged man with a curly beard who was leading the group shouted. “Head guard Wang is right, none of them are good. Once we’re tricked, they’ll catch us and throw us into the sea to feed the fish. We can’t trust them. ” Another yellow – bearded old man, who looked more refined, said. “Old Sir, I see that you are a scholar.” Tang Wen looked at him and said. “He’s Luo Kai, the teacher of our town. He’s also a scholar.” Someone said. “By the way, you’re a scholar and I’m a high scholar. We’re both scholars. There’s a saying that goes,” if you’re reasonable, you’ll do everything. If you’re unreasonable, you’ll find it hard to do anything. ” We’re all scholars, so shouldn’t we be reasonable?” Tang Wen said. “Reason? do you officials still have reason to speak of? You’ve always only allowed the officials to set fires, not the commoners. Where can we commoners go to reason?” Head guard Wang sneered. “Today, I’m here to reason with you. Otherwise, if I’m not reasonable, I would’ve gathered all of you and announced the arrangements of this Island. This is because this heavenly Rock Island belongs to me. My master naturally has the right to deal with it. However, I didn’t do that. Moreover, I’ll give you a chance to make a fortune. Butler Luo, take out the title deed and let old master Luo have a look. ” Tang Wen said. Luo Yiwu nodded and took out the title deed and the sales contract with GUI Wusong.”Old master, please take a good look. This is the seal of the Jiang state government.” Look, doesn’t this Island belong to Lord Tang?” “This, it’s true.” Old master Luo looked at it several times and nodded helplessly. “Fake!” Wang baoguang said with a straight face. “I’m the Deputy envoy of the team training and a first – Class Earl. If you go to Linghai and make a complaint, do I still want this official position? do I still want this title of nobility?” Tang Wen sneered. “The officials will protect each other. They won’t make decisions for US citizens.” Someone shouted from the crowd. “Then let me ask you, even if that’s the case, does this Island belong to me?” Tang Wen asked. “This seal can’t be fake. It’s indeed Lord Jue ‘s.” Luo Kai nodded. Old master Luo, you have to look carefully. Don’t be deceived.” Someone in the crowd asked. “I can’t lie to you. I’m still old, and I can still recognize the official seal.” Luo Kai was a little angry and snorted. “Everyone, listen to me first. I want to open a limestone workshop on this Island, which is very large. At that time, would they need manpower? At that time, I’ll have to recruit a large number of people, so I’ll recruit you. Anyone who had the strength could come, and each person would be paid one tael of silver a month. If it was a skilled master who knew martial arts and did a good job, they could even increase the silver to two or even three or five taels. At that time, if you have work to do, you will have food to eat and clothes to wear. Moreover, I’ll build a school in the workshop. All the children of the workshop workers can go to school for free, and only the fee for books will be charged. ” Tang Wen said. “Liar! How can there be such a high reward?” Head guard Wang said. “We can sign a contract in black and white. Teacher Luo and head guard Wang Can prove it. Also, I’ll give you your first month’s salary as soon as you come. If I don’t pay you, you can scold me, Tang Wen, or even kick me out. ” Tang Wen said. “Is what you said true?” Someone asked. “Of course! Our Lord Jue has always been a man of his word. I’m the Tang family’s servant, the Tang family’s housekeeper, Luo Yiwu. I also have a monthly allowance of ten silver taels. And every servant of our Tang family has a monthly allowance, even the elderly have one. At the very least, we can get five silver coins a month. For young and strong people like you, you’ll be paid at least one tael of silver a month. Those with a little martial arts will be paid one and a half taels of silver. You should know that in addition to the monthly allowance, Master Tang also provides for food, accommodation, and clothes. He even provided medical care when he was sick, and his child was free to study … This is the treatment that servants of my Tang family get. ” Luo Yiwu said. “Right! We’re Master Tang’s personal guards. We’ll pay you two taels of silver a month and a low – rank spirit pill. ” “I’m the captain of the personal guards. My monthly allowance is three taels and two low – grade spirit pills. ” “I’m an old Carpenter from the Tang family. Two taels a month,” “I was originally a Mason worker. I earn two taels a month.” …… “Old master Tang, I’m Zhang Delin. I’m willing to work in your workshop. I’m strong and can carry seven to eight hundred catties. How much are you paying me a month?” A muscular man asked. “To be able to lift 700 to 800 catties, that’s about the same strength as a rank -8 martial artist. Two taels a month.” Tang Wen nodded. “What about me? I can also carry five or six hundred catties.” “Five to six hundred Jin, one and a half taels.” …… “Don’t be fooled by him. He’s lying. ” Someone shouted. “It must be a lie. Don’t be fooled.” “Tang Wen is too sinister …” …… “Liar, isn’t he Zhang Delin? let’s sign the contract immediately. I’ll give you two taels on the spot, and you can come over in the afternoon to work. “And Li Biao, you can sign one and a half taels a month. I can give it to you now …” Tang Wen said. “Everyone, if you’re willing to sell yourself to the Tang family as a slave, not only will you still receive your monthly allowance, but you’ll also be provided with food, lodging, clothes, sickness, and studies … Those who are willing to join, we’ll test your strength immediately. Your martial arts realm will be paid according to your strength. You can sign it in black and white right away, and old master Luo will be the witness. ” Luo Yiwu, the temporary head of the public relations Hall, shouted at the top of his voice. “Master Tang, my name is li cuihua. My husband died a while ago. I have two children and an old man at home. Master Tang, do you want me?” At this time, a middle – aged woman squeezed out and asked. “You look quite healthy. By the way, do you know how to cook? Or perhaps needlework?” Luo Yiwu asked.
