<h4>Chapter 298: Setting up the camp (1)</h4>


    “There’s a bathroom nearby, you can go and pee yourself. Also, Lord Xiao, since you can’t handle the Vermillion Fruit King, I’ll give you a smaller one. Eat it as well. ” Tang Wen grabbed Xiao Gai and forced a small Vermillion fruit into his mouth. He closed the door after he finished. “Brother Tang, what are you doing ...?” Xiao Gai was shocked and quickly asked. “Hahaha, interesting, interesting. This person is too interesting.” Chu Congughed maniacally and started to practice his Drunken Fist. Not long after, he fell asleep on the ground, drunk. Xiao Gai wanted to help him up, but he was poked down by a finger. The tower door was closed, and he could not go out. This made Xiao Gai extremely anxious. “You, sit down and meditate. It’s a rare opportunity to train. ” As soon as Tang Wen left, Chu Cong jumped up, murmured drunkard’s words, and continued to practice Drunken Boxing. Xiao Gai took a look and felt that Chu Cong should be fine. Hence, he found a corner to meditate and do breathing exercises. “Master, is young master Chu really drunk or is he faking it?” After Tang Wen entered the surveince room, Luo Yiwu looked at the surveince camera and immediately said,” “The truth is false, and the false is true.” Tang Wen said with a smile. “Master, you’ve really confused me.” Luo Yiwu looked at Tang Wen with a terrified expression. “Do you see any order in his Drunken Fist?” Tang Wen asked. “It seems to be a mess. However, it also seems to have an order, so it’s hard to define.” Luo Yiwu shook his head. “That’s why this is called true and false, and false and true. His current state was the best for a martial artist. If he had the opportunity, he could enter the unity of man and nature. If he can enter, it’ll be his good fortune. ” Tang Wen said with a smile. “This must be the condition that you deliberately created for him.” Luo Yiwu said. “You can say that. Otherwise, why would I give him the Vermillion Fruit King?” Tang Wen said. “Old master, I don’t understand. He’s Xiao Gai’s friend and doesn’t know us. Why would we create such good conditions for him? For example, the little Vermillion Fruit King was a pity. If we keep it, we can create an expert in the future. ” Luo Yiwu’s face was filled with regret. “I’m creating an expert right now. If it works, he’ll be a rank -1 powerhouse when hees out of the tower.” Tang Wen said. “But he’s not one of us.” Luo Yiwu shook his head and said. “This person isn’t too old and is a genius at the same level as Feng jiuxue. This kind of person also knew Xiao Gai, and Xiao Gai had actually been promoted. I’m thinking if shaugety’s title is rted to this person. ” Tang Wen said. “Then this person is either from a rich or noble family.” Luo Yiwu was shocked, but he quickly nodded and said. “Let’s take a gamble. ” Tang Wen said with a smile. “But the price is too high.” Luo Yiwu was still unable to let it go. “Hehe, the secret of gambling is that either you lose everything, or you earn a lot. This was just like doing business. If you encountered an opportunity, you had to be brave enough to make a move. The reason why the poor had always been poor was because they did not have the mentality of a gambler. They were afraid of failure and didn’t dare to invest. Therefore, they didn’t dare to grasp the opportunity when it came. As such, it’s only natural that you’ll be poor again and again, and be poor for life. ” Tang Wen said with a smile. “I hope master can make a profit.” Luo Yiwu nodded. At noon the next day, Wan Hansong sent a trusted aide to deliver the title deed to the ck Rock Ind. Without stopping, Tang Wen brought Wen Jinyuan and the rest of the group to ck Rock Ind. After all, the big construction was in progress. Now that they had cement, another ‘big consumer’ of steel bars had to be solved. Once this problem was solved, he would be able to free up most of his luggage and load space to buy other items when he transmigrated. With the speedboat, even though the ck Rock Ind was close to four hundred miles away from SuMei Ind, it would still take a few hours. The ck Rock Ind was thergest ind that Tang Wen had bought so far. It was a hundred miles wide and had thousands of hectares ofnd. Tang Wen was dressed in a gorgeous Noble’s outfit and brought hundreds of guards with him to the ind. Setting up camp naturally attracted the attention of the people from Heavenly Dragon Vige and earth Tiger Vige. Tang Wen deliberately arranged the camp on the central axis of the two viges. Sure enough, not long after, the head guards of the two viges came over. The head guard of the heavenly Dragon Vige was called ‘li DEFA’, and the head guard of the earth Tiger Vige was called ‘Lin zongming’. Both of them had brought hundreds of vigers. “Who are you? This is the residence of Lord Tang, the first Earl of Linghai and the Vice –mander of the group training. ” Just as he reached the entrance of the stronghold, he was naturally stopped by the head of the guards, Li Liao. “I am Li DEFA, the head guard of the heavenly Dragon Vige.” “I’m Lin zongming, the head guard of thend Tiger Vige. I’m here to see Lord Jue. ” “The two of you can go in, but the rest can stay outside.” Li Liao snorted and entered the mobile Vi with the two head guards. He sized up the moving vi and looked at the dozens of ck – d cannons that had been set up around the camp. After entering the house and looking at the furniture in the vi, the two Guardian elders were both surprised. “You didn’t kneel when you saw Lord Jue, are you asking for a beating?” Wen Jinyuan shouted as the two of them were looking at the equipment in the room. Might! Immediately, the guards on both sides pressed him. When the two head guards heard this, they quickly knelt down and paid their respects. “I’m here to take a look at my territory. Head guards, please take a seat. ” Tang Wen replied. “Territory?” Li DEFA was stunned and nced at Lin zongming. “Lord Jue, what do you mean by” territory “? I don’t understand.” Lin zongming also looked at li DEFA, so he asked. “Aren’t you two talking nonsense? This ck Rock Ind is mine. ” Tang Wen snorted. “Lord Jue ‘s? Isn’t the ck Rock Ind a deserted ind?” Reed asked. “Yes, we’ve moved here for more than two hundred years. When we came, it was a deserted ind with no one. Only a few Pirates asionally lived there, but we drove them away. ” Lin zongming replied. These two guys were fighting noisily as if they had formed a united front against the outsiders. “Nonsense! How could this be a deserted ind? this Ind belongs to the government of Linghai province. ” Luo Yiwu snorted. “It’s the government ‘s, but it’s not Lord Jue’s either,” Li DEFA said. “You two don’t know, right? Recently, the war had been tense, and the government needed money. Hence, he specially sold the ck Rock Ind to our master, Lord Tang Jue, for three million taels. ” Luo Yiwu said. “But we’ve moved here for two hundred years. This Ind is ours.” Reed said anxiously. “That’s right! This was originally a deserted ind. We were the first toe here. ” Lin zongming also said quickly. “What a joke. The deserted ind is yours. “The Imperial court has its ownws. All ownerlessnds belong to the Imperial court. You took them first, so they’re yours. Are you all bandits who want to take the Imperial court’snd by force? Of course, if you admit that you’re a robber, then I, Tang Wen, will admit it. ” Tang Wen suddenly mmed the table and said. “We’re not!” Li DEFA quickly said. “How can we be bandits? we are good people of great Chu. We don’t burn, kill, or Rob.” Lin zongming also said. “Then why did you take over thend of the officials? What are they if not bandits?” Tang Wen asked. “We ... We’re only living here.” Li DEFA was speechless for a moment. “Yes, we’ve been living here for two hundred years.” Lin zongming nodded and said. “Hehe, you have to pay rent to live in the Imperial court. Butler Luo, do a count. How many people have lived there for two hundred years? how much rent do you have to pay?” Tang Wen said with a smile. “Why do I have to pay rent for that?” Reed was anxious. “That’s right. This kind of barrennd is everywhere. I’ve never heard of the Imperial court collecting rent.” Lin zongming was also anxious. “If you don’t pay the rent, you’ll be living here for free. If this was your house, would you let someone live here for free? Also, have you paid taxes for your crops andnd?” Tang Wen snorted. “We ... We ...” This was great. The two guys panicked. “You must pay the rent!” Tang Wen said. “Old master, I’ve calcted that there are more than 10000 people in the two viges. After living there for two hundred years, he had to pay a head tax of two taels of silver a year. 20,000 taels a year, that’s four million taels in two hundred years. ” Luo Yiwu said in a dignified manner. “I give you three days to collect the money. If you want to continue renting, you have toe over and sign the contract with me. However, this Ind belongs to me now. Twenty thousand taels a year is not enough. I have to pay at least one million taels. Otherwise, you’ll move to wherever it’s cooler. ” Tang Wen’s face was sour as he said stiffly. “Let’s ... Let’s go back and discuss this. ” Reed’s face changed, and the two of them left in a panic. Hahaha ... Immediately, Wen Jinyuan and his gangughed out loud. “Old master, you almost scared the two of them to the point of peeing.” Li Liaoughed. “Not necessarily, they can’t make the decision. We’ll wait for the people behind them toe out. Tell Ximen taigao to bring the ship over and be ready at all times. ” Tang Wen shook his head. “Do you want to fight?” Luo Yiwu was stunned. “Fight my ass! If we kill them all, where are we going to find more workers in the steel mill?” Tang Wen said. “Then why did you ask elder Ximen toe over?” Luo Yiwu asked in confusion. “This is called pressure! Under high pressure, they had to be afraid. Otherwise, we won’t be able to scare them with just a few hundred of us. ” Tang Wen said. “Yes, this ce is far from the maind. If we really push them too hard, they’ll cause trouble. At that time, if things get out of hand, they’ll just move away. ” Wen Jinyuan nodded. “So, you have to grasp a limit. We have to control it well and make them reluctant to move away. They have to listen to us obediently. ” Tang Wen said. “Patriarch, bad news.” Li DEFA returned to the Li n Fort at top speed and rushed straight into the hall. The n master, li shaotang, was leisurely drinking tea with an old man with big eyes. “The Lin family is causing trouble again?” The Lin family came to li shaotang’s mind first. He mmed the table and stood up. “No... No.” Li DEFA quickly shook his head. “What is that?” The big – eyed old man put down the tea bowl and asked casually. This man was li shaotang’s uncle, li zenong. “A first – ss Earl, Tang Wen, hase to Linghai ...” Said li DEFA. “Isn’t the government’snd a deserted ind?” Li zenong was stunned. “Uncle, in the territory of great Chu, other than the ownednd, all the other wastnds belong to the government. We really can’t do anything about it. ” Li shaotang’s face changed drastically. “Are we just going to let Tang wenbai extort us for nothing? That’s a few million taels of silver. ” Li zenong snorted. “Tang Wen didn’t make a deal. We can talk about this.” Li shaotang said. “If he insists on doing this, we’ll be homeless. Where can we find a temporary spot?” Li zenong frowned and said. “I think it’s better to gather the elders to discuss countermeasures.” Grand Master Kang Yun suggested. “Of course we should. Immediately gather the n elders for a meeting.” Li zenong nodded. “Private advisor Kang, do it immediately.” Li shaotang said. Kang Yun nodded, and soon, the bell of the Li family rang. Not long after, a few old men rushed over. They were the oldest great – grandfather of the Li family, Li Kun. It was the great uncle of the Li family, Li Hao. The Li family’s Auntie, Li Yumei. It was li shaotang’s younger brother, li Kaiqiu. Son, young n leader, Li Jun. …… These people were the backbone of the Li family and the core members of the elders ‘Association.
