Chapter 32: The toilet can also be installed
"Lord Tang, you really treat us like pigs, don't you ? We sold ourselves to the Tang family, and then you embezzled our wages as well. What a scheme." Tang Jun sneered.
"You won't believe anything I say now. Why don't you bring your people to my Koh Samui and take a look first. If you are not satisfied, go back to your prison. I will never stop you." Tang Wen said.
"That's your territory, we can't come back once we go there.
If you resist, you might even lose your life.
Then you can make up a reason and say that we were killed by pirates. Wouldn't that mean we died unjustly?" Tang Jun said.
"Where is your courage to surround the Li family's old house? There are hundreds of you, and you can also ask some notaries to go with you.
By then, in broad daylight, can we kill you all?
Even if I have a title, would I dare to kill hundreds of people?
Although the Chu government handled some things inappropriately, it was not so incompetent.
What's more, it's nothing more than buying some slaves. If you have money, why would you be afraid of not having slaves?
Is it worth it for me to take such a risk for you?
You are not precious treasures, Tang Jun, you think too highly of yourself. "Tang Wen stood up with a sneer.
"Can we find someone else to notarize it?" Tang Jun asked.
"Of course, you can ask anyone to go with you." Tang Wen said.
"Okay, I'll take my brothers and sisters with you." Tang Jun nodded.
"Don't worry. Even if you don't agree, I will let you eat and come back. I will never stop you." Tang Wen said.
"Can I go out now?" Tang Jun asked.
"Okay, when you get out, immediately contact the craftsmen at Chibafang and send it to Koh Samui tomorrow morning." Tang Wen nodded.
"Okay, I'll come find you then." Tang Jun nodded and followed Tang Wen out.
Of course, some formalities were completed here, and with Tang Wen's guarantee, Yang Yun would certainly not stop him and let him take Tang Jun out temporarily.
"Let's split up and you come find me when the time comes." Tang Wen gave him the contact address.
"Aren't you afraid that I will run away?" After walking a few steps, Tang Jun suddenly turned around and said.
"It is your blessing that you can follow me, you should run away without taking advantage of your blessing.
By then, you will become a wanted criminal, fleeing everywhere and living a life worse than a dog.
I was just fined by the government, and you are the one who suffered the loss, not me." Tang Wen said calmly.
Tang Jun looked at Tang Wen deeply for a few times, then strode away.
"Master, Tang Wen met with Li Dawang in Wangjiang Tower in the morning. He went to the prison again in the afternoon and actually bailed out Tang Jun." A thin man quietly entered the Fang family compound. His name was Sun Fei.
The owner of this place is Fang Qiang, one of the most prominent gentry in Yanling County. Sun Fei is the head of the security guards hired by Fang Qiang.
"What does he want to do?" Fang Qiang asked with a stern face.
"I can't get into the jail. I don't know what they are talking about, but it's definitely not good." Sun Fei shook his head.
"That kid seems to be trying to ruin our plans. His servant Qiao Xiao has already been arrested. Why don't we find Kang Qingfeng and get the guy named Tang in as well?" Butler Luo Qing said viciously.
“This man is different, he has a title.
Although he was only a small third-class baron, he was a noble of the Chu State after all.
Without absolute certainty, the government won't touch him at will." Fang Qiang shook his head.
"If the government doesn't dare, then why should the Six Gates not dare? Not to mention that he is just a small third-class baron. Even if the governor breaks the law, he will still be arrested." Luo Qing said.
"Wait a little longer. If it doesn't work, then look for Kang Qingfeng.
The reason why Qiao Xiao was arrested was because Kang Qingfeng owed our family a favor in the past, and the favor was repaid after Qiao Xiao was arrested.
Then it will be difficult to find him again.
Unless we have evidence or something else." Fang Qiang said.
"Doesn't Kang Qingfeng like money?" Luo Qing snorted.
"Who doesn't like money? However, a person like Kang Qingfeng cannot be sent away with just a little money.
If the price is 20,000 or 30,000 taels, what's the point in us trying to lower the price to Qianyefang?
By then, I will still owe Kang Qingfeng a favor, which is not worth it." Fang Qiang shook his head.
Unexpectedly, the Tang army was so quick in doing things. They came in the evening and said that everyone had gathered. They also urged Tang Wen to set off overnight.
Tang Wen was of course even happier, so he set off back to Koh Samui overnight.
"He's back to Koh Samui. What on earth does that guy want to do?" After receiving the news from his subordinate Lin Xiong, another buyer Liu Hesen was also confused.
"How would I know?" Lin Xiong shook his head.
"Never mind, it's better to go back. It will be more beneficial to us." Liu Hesen waved his hand.
Koh Samui is seventy or eighty miles away from Yanling City, and it takes half a day to walk there.
However, these craftsmen walked quite fast and arrived at 2:30 in the morning.
Tang Wen had already arranged for Bu Feng to rush back and turn on all the lights in advance, so when hundreds of people arrived at the camp.
Looking at the bright lights, everyone was stunned.
They rubbed their eyes desperately, thinking that they were not dreaming. Tang Jun was also in a daze for a few minutes.
"Look, there are so many night-shining pearls."
"This Mr. Tang is really rich."
"Is the Night Pearl so bright?"
"Otherwise, what is it?"
…
When we were approaching the mountain stronghold, we saw a mighty patrol team armed with swords and knives. There was also a barbed wire fence outside, and there were people holding bows and spears guarding the watchtower.
Everyone was stunned and drooling.
"Master, go back to the village and open the gate." Ge Ziyun shouted, and immediately, the gate creaked open.
"Master, you're back." Zhan Junru and Gu Hanyan came forward.
"Junru, notify the kitchen immediately to light a fire and cook." Tang Wen said.
"Okay, I'll go wake up mom right away." Zhan Junru nodded and hurried away.
Soon, the lights in each tent were lit, and a dozen women hurried into the kitchen and began to work.
"Dongwen, we have walked for such a long time and sweated a lot. Everyone is tired and dirty. Give everyone a towel and ask Tang Jun to take them to the bathroom to wash their faces and wipe off the sweat." Tang Wen arranged.
Dong Wen nodded, discussed with Tang Jun, and started to make arrangements in an orderly manner.
When they walked into the public bathroom made of sheet iron alloy, they were shocked by the neat rows of porcelain basins and a large mirror.
"This is called a faucet. Turn it once to turn it on, and turn it the other way to turn it off." Zhan Dongwen and others who were in charge of reception taught these ancient people step by step .
"Brother Zhan, why can't you see the toilet? How do you poop then?" Tang Jun asked after looking at it.
"Yeah, there's no pit toilet, and no bamboo sticks, how do you wipe your butt after you poop?"
Because the Chu people basically used thin bamboo strips as wide as a finger when going to the toilet, and they would scrape it with a bamboo knife after taking a shit, which of course could not be scraped clean.
But paper is too expensive, who can afford it?
Only rich people use paper or cloth to wipe.
"You see, this is called a squat toilet, which is actually the pit toilet we used to have.
After using the toilet, just press the button and the water will flush out.
Use this kind of toilet paper to wipe your butt, it's good...
Also, if you want to pee, just poop here, the water will keep flowing and it won’t stink.” Zhan Dongwen and his gang acted as poop and pee teachers again.
"It doesn't smell bad here at all. On the contrary, it smells good. How can shit and urine smell good?" someone asked.
"Master Tang asked someone to put incense." Zhan Dongwen said.
"Toilets have incense, but only rich people have it. How much does such a big toilet cost?"
"Mr. Tang just wants everyone to live a happy life. He doesn't care about money."
"Where does this water come from? From underground?"
"There are pipes going down there, and this is just the public toilet. There's also the cafeteria, the bathroom, and that's bigger..."
…
This group of people were asking a hundred thousand questions, and Zhan Dongwen and a few others acted as commentators.
Of course, all this was deliberately arranged by Tang Wen.
The purpose is to let this group of people see how comfortable life is in the Tang family, so that they will willingly join the Tang family .
Suddenly, the bathroom became busy as they lined up to try it.
After using the toilet and washing their faces, they handed the towel stickers to Zhan Dongwen one by one.
"You don't have to return it. Master Tang said that this is a gift for you." Zhan Dongwen said.
"Thank you, Mr. Tang." Immediately, hundreds of people cheered.
Normally they just use rags to wipe their faces, how could they have ever seen such a useful towel?
This thing is high-end, made of soft material, and so easy to use, it must be worth a lot of money.
Below, everyone, please carefully collect the stickers so that you can brag about them when you get home.
"It's time to eat!" Zhan Junru shouted, and everyone was led into the cafeteria one by one.
Looking at the neatly arranged, brightly painted wooden tables, everyone's eyes widened and they didn't dare to sit down.
However, when they saw the fragrant fried shredded pork, pork bone soup, and crystal clear white rice on the table, they all started drooling again.
