Chapter 13: Gu Family Has an Expert
Of course, Tang Wen had also reserved ditches for possible use in future hydropower generation and irrigation of farmland.
Half a day passed, Zhan Dongwen left, bringing a tape measure, a pole, a rope and other tools with him and called a dozen people to the lake to measure the data.
The next day , Tang Wen called Li Quan over and gave him 80,000 taels of silver to exchange for gold in Yanling City.
The remaining 20,000 taels were kept as reserves. Of course, the quantity this time was larger.
So, Zhao Du was asked to pick out seven or eight people to go along with him, carrying swords and knives.
However, Li Quan had not received much education, and although he could be a loyal servant, he was not a qualified housekeeper.
A woman like Zhan Junru, although she has read some books and knows a few words, is not suitable for this area.
Zhan Dongwen is good at doing specific work and being in charge of a project, but he lacks the overall awareness and is not suitable to be a general manager.
Therefore, the Tang family is still lacking a steward to manage money and grain.
And this person is too important to Tang Wen, he must be loyal to him.
The next morning, the Tang family hired another ten people, and dozens of people also came to do temporary work.
At 9 o'clock, a group of people came , about a dozen of them.
Leading the group was a middle-aged man wearing a melon-shaped hat, an old silk robe, a high nose, a slightly round face, and looking shrewd and capable.
When Sun Ping saw this, he rushed into the tent and reported to Tang Wen, "The Gu family has arrived. The leader is called Ge Ziyun. The Gu family basically listens to him, and he is the one who speaks whatever Gu Hanyan conveys."
"Don't panic. Don't show up for now. Tell Bu Feng to go out and keep silent. Let's see what they are going to do." Tang Wen instructed.
"Where is your boss?" Ge Ziyun walked to the door and asked in a very imposing manner.
"The boss is in the tent." Bu Feng walked over and answered.
"My name is Ge Ziyun, and I want to see your boss!" said Ge Ziyun.
"I'll have to ask the boss about this." Bu Feng nodded and walked into Tang Wen's tent.
After coming out, he said, "You come in with me, no one else can."
"I'll go in with him!" said a middle-aged man wearing a bamboo hat next to Ge Ziyun.
"No! Only he can go in alone." Bu Feng said stiffly.
"I'm going in, do you dare to stop me?" The man in the bamboo hat suddenly became furious and took a step forward.
Bu Feng waved his hand, and four guards came up with swords and blocked the gate.
Bang bang bang bang!
Before Bu Feng could react, the man in the bamboo hat suddenly punched out at a very fast speed.
Like a shadow, the four guards were knocked flying, and their swords flew to the side.
"What do you want to do?" Bu Feng saw it and became furious. He rushed forward and slashed at the man fiercely with a knife.
The man dodged sideways and swung his hand to strike to the side.
A punch hit Bu Feng on the waist, and Bu Feng fell sideways, eating a mouthful of dirt.
"Do you think you're a hero just because you hold a sword?" The man in the bamboo hat sneered and stood in the middle of the gate like a god.
"Someone is attacking, kill him!" Bu Feng roared, and in an instant, dozens of Tang family servants who were working nearby rushed over with swords, spears and sticks.
However, the man in the bamboo hat was not surprised at all and stood there with full of momentum.
"All of you stop!" Zhan Junru came out of the tent and shouted, and immediately, Bu Feng and his gang stopped.
"The master said to let them in." Zhan Junru said.
"That man is a master, he is too dangerous." Bu Feng shouted.
"It's okay, let them in." Tang Wen said in the tent.
Bu Feng had no choice but to move aside to let the two men in.
However, he was worried about Tang Wen, so he took a dozen people with him and followed him into the tent.
"You guys stay outside, stay away, there's no need to come in." Tang Wen said.
Ge Ziyun and the man in the bamboo hat were stunned for a moment, and looked at the tent for a few more times before coming in. After coming in, they looked around.
He was stunned for a moment, with a look of surprise, probably because he saw the novel office equipment in the tent.
"What are you looking at? I don't have an ambush here. Please take a seat." Tang Wen sat on the armchair and said to Zhan Junru, "Pour some tea!"
Ge Ziyun looked around and found no chair next to Tang Wen, so he had to sit on a chair on the left near the door.
The man in the bamboo hat was standing behind the door. It seemed that the two of them were ready to evacuate at any time.
"What do you two need from me, my dear?" Tang Wen asked.
"This Lord, haha, I don't understand, does Master Tang also hold the title of Great Chu?" Ge Ziyun asked with a smile.
"Of course." Tang Wen took out the hat of the title from the cabinet on the coffee table and placed it on the table.
"Excuse me, Ge Ziyun greets His Excellency the Baron." Ge Ziyun stood up and bowed slightly.
"He's just a third-class baron. Moreover, a dignified lord comes to this deserted island to make a living. Haha, he's just a down-and-out nobleman, what's the big deal?" The man in the bamboo hat said disdainfully.
"Deserted island? Which eye of yours can see that this is a deserted island?" Tang Wen looked at him and asked.
"Isn't this a deserted island?" Ge Ziyun asked.
"Of course not, this is my Tang family's island." Tang Wen said.
"Nonsense. You think you can deceive and scare us just by wearing a lord's hat? We have inquired about this island and found that no one has taken care of it for thirty or forty years." said the man in the bamboo hat.
"To be exact, no one has taken care of it for fifty years." Tang Wen said, glancing at the two of them, "So what? Just because my Tang family hasn't sent anyone to take care of it doesn't mean that this island belongs to someone else."
"What proof do you have?" The man in the bamboo hat slapped the table with his palm. With a crack, Tang Wen was startled and found that the coffee table had cracked.
What a master!
To be able to crack this thick and solid jujube wood coffee table with one palm, you need at least eight or nine hundred pounds of strength.
Moreover, the man's palm was not injured, which could only be achieved by an eighth-grade Nei Gang realm warrior with internal energy.
The eighth level is definitely considered a master in a small place like Yanling. The captain of the Yanling County government is about this level.
No wonder Bu Feng and his friends were no match for him! This Gu family seemed to be something special.
Ding ding ding!
Several piercing sounds were heard, followed by a few crisp crackling noises, and all the tea bowls on the coffee tables were smashed into pieces by Tang Wen with the short gun in his hand.
Suddenly, fragments flew everywhere, splattering all over the room, making a crackling sound when they fell to the ground.
Ge Ziyun had already been pulled to a corner by the man in the bamboo hat. He took off the hat and used it as a shield in front of him.
"You're not slow, but can you be faster than my bow at such a short distance? If I wanted to kill you just now, you would have died several times ago." Tang Wen smiled faintly and put the bow on the table.
Tang Wen had seen this kind of creature when he was training with special forces abroad. It was only the size of an adult's palm.
It is also equipped with a small sight, which can be used to aim and fire by holding it with one hand.
The arrow is only as thick as a chopstick and as long as a finger, just a little thicker and longer than an ordinary bullet.
It is still a polygonal shuttle, and it flies in a rotating manner after being launched.
Moreover, it can fire six small guns in a row, so I drew the picture and asked Song Qingyang Company to manufacture it.
Song Qingyang's company also often produces ancient bows as props for performances, which can be produced by making some improvements.
"What's wrong with the bow? So what if it breaks the tea bowl? But you can't do anything to my hat!" The man in the hat sneered with disdain.
Tang Wen was stunned. He looked at the hat carefully and found that it was actually made of iron.
However, the blacksmith was very skilled and managed to create wrinkles on the iron sheet.
After being painted, it looks like a bamboo hat from a distance and you can't tell it unless you look closely.
"Is your hat made of iron?" Tang Wen asked, pretending to be shocked.
"Of course, with the addition of fine iron, it will be no problem to stop your kid." The man in the bamboo hat was a little proud.
"Put your hat on the table and let me try it." Tang Wen said.
I thought to myself, my arrows are made of titanium steel, how can they not penetrate a piece of broken iron sheet?
"Boy, you want to trick me? Do you want to take this opportunity to kill me? I've seen many people like you." The man in the bamboo hat was immediately furious.
"If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't have given you the chance to take off your hat. Even though you took it off quickly, you can never be faster than my boy in such a short distance." Tang Wen said.
"That may not be the case!" said the man in the bamboo hat stubbornly.
"If you don't dare, forget it. You can go." Tang Wen waved his hand.
