Chapter 263  : The overall situation of the martial world (1) magic

“Today’s weather is not bad, why don’t I accompany you to take a look?” Zhao Duan seemed to be very enthusiastic.

“Of course you can, but can you ask your Constable to come along?” Tang Wen asked.

“Lord Jue, don’t worry.

Although the mountains outside the city are full of bandits, you don’t have to worry about anything within a 100 – mile radius of Red River City.

No one would dare to lay their hands on Lord Jue.” Zhao Duan had misunderstood.

“Didn’t I hear that there were bandits stationed in Liang village?” Tang Wen asked.

“They do, but what do they have? It was just a small fight, and it never violated the official’s Affairs.

Lord Jue is a first – rank Earl and the Vice training envoy of the Linghai group.

Who would dare to stroke your beard?” Zhao Duan stroked his chin and smiled.

However, the human figurine looked contemptuous, probably wondering why Tang Wen was so cowardly.

“I’ve heard that Linghai’s government grain was robbed in the nine bridges.

” Tang Wen said.

“That’s definitely not Liang Zi village’s doing, they wouldn’t dare.

Robbing official provisions was a major matter that would exterminate nine generations.

In fact, I’ve also understood that they are also a group of poor people.

When they really have no food to eat, they have no choice but to entangle together.

He mainly made a living by farming and hunting.

Occasionally, he would Rob some money when it was not enough, but he never hurt anyone.

Because of this, we have let them go.

After all, this kind of thing happened all over the country.

As long as it didn’t cause any major trouble or revolt, the government would turn a blind eye to it.

Otherwise, if they were all killed, wouldn’t they be forced to rebel? This isn’t appropriate.

” Zhao Duan said.

“Hehe, the other party has quite a number of people, so Lord Zhao must be afraid of them, right?” Feng jiuxue suddenly interrupted.

“This, of course, is one of the reasons.

Our Red River Prefecture doesn’t need to fight to the death with them.

However, since Lord Jue thinks that it’s fine to send some people over.

” Zhao Duan choked and coughed a few times.

He laughed drily and said to his advisor, luo sen,”ask Constable ding to pick some elite constables.” “Yes, my lord.

I’ll go immediately.” Advisor Luo nodded and strode away.

Not long after, a middle – aged man dressed in short clothes with sharp and capable eyes hurried in.”Why are you looking for me, my Lord?” “Constable ding, this is Lord Tang, a first – Class Earl from Linghai.

He’s also the Vice – commander of the Linghai training group.

He’s interested in our hundred leaves workshop and is preparing to go take a look.

You pick some people to accompany me.

I also want to go.

” Zhao Duan said.

“Greetings, Lord count.

Don’t worry.

No one in Red River City would dare to cause trouble.” Ding Qi knelt down on one knee and said to Tang Wen.

“Thank you for your trouble, Constable ding.” Tang Wen nodded.

“Red River City is so big.

Why doesn’t it have a branch of the six Fan School?” Feng jiuxue asked.

“There are! One of the ten ocean Saint sects, the shifting wood Palace, is located within the Red River capital’s jurisdiction, so the provincial Hall has set up a branch here.

” Ding Qi replied.

“Who’s the branch leader?” Feng jiuxue asked.

“Tang Yao! The head of the provincial bloody massacre Hall had come.

His main objective was to keep an eye on the shifting wood Palace.

After all, the shifting wood Palace was one of the ten ocean Saint sects.

Without a branch, we can’t control the overall situation of the Red River Jianghu.

” Ding Qi replied.

“Tang Yao,” Feng jiuxue smiled.

“Miss, you know him?” Ding Qi asked.

“Hehe.” Feng jiuxue smiled but didn’t answer.

The group of people headed straight for the hundred leaves workshop.

Tang Wen found that the workshop was very large, covering a few hundred acres, and it had not stopped production.

Most of the people inside were women.

After all, weaving was a woman’s job.

“Master, they are basically all women.

They are the daughters of criminals.

I guess they can only weave cloth and do light household work.

They can’t do heavy work.” Luo Yiwu quickly reminded Tang Wen.

“Although they can’t do heavy work, but these daughter of the criminal officials are well – read and many of them are literate.

You see, if they dress up a little, they’ll all look pretty good.

It was said that Lord Tang had thousands of men under his command, so they had to eat and dress, and they could do all those tasks.

Also, if Lord Tang opened a big shop here in the future, these women could also help to sell things.

They’re pretty good looking and can attract customers.

” Zhao Duan laughed.

“Of course it’s not bad.

How many women are there in this workshop?” Feng jiuxue said.

“About two thousand.” Zhao Duan said.

“Weaving definitely won’t work, this won’t work.

If it was converted to a shop? Your loom is useless now.

Moreover, this shed was also very old and had to be torn down and rebuilt.

If I buy this place, it’ll be equivalent to buying a piece of land.

It’s just a bunch of weak and sickly women.

” Tang Wen said.

“I don’t think it’s right to be weak and sick.

You see, these women seem to have some skills, where did they get the disease? Also, if you dress up, Master Tang can pick out a lot of pretty girls to serve you.

Hehe, when that time comes, I’ll have a harem of 3000 beauties.

How awesome would that be?” Feng jiuxue said.

‘F * ck ...’ What’s wrong with this sister? she’s singing a different tune from me, and she seems to be a little jealous? Even Zhao Duan was stunned.

Didn’t you come with Tang Wen? Why was he siding with an outsider? “That’s true, that’s true.

Men, if they’re not lascivious, they’re still called men.” Duan Zhao laughed.

“What do you take me for? I’m not a pig.” Tang Wen shook his head.

“Didn’t you ask a beautiful woman to marry you the moment you saw her? Isn’t the pile in front of you just what you want?” Feng jiuxue said.

“Can they be compared to you?” Tang Wen laughed drily and looked at Feng jiuxue.

Zhao Duan was startled.

So there was a ‘problem’ with these two.

“Don’t drag me into this.

Don’t even think about it.

” Feng Jiu’s face was fierce.

“Alright, Lord Zhao, how much is it?” Tang Wen asked.

“There are many beautiful women in this batch of officials and servants.

Moreover, most of them are unmarried girls.

In addition, they were well – educated and reasonable.

If they were sold to the brothels, they would be worth at least a thousand taels.

However, since Lord Jue is here to do business in the red River, the Yamen should support you, right? The land was close to 1000 mu, and there were more than 2000 women and a few hundred men.

The men were quite good and were all skilled.

Each of them costs a hundred taels, so you can just give me four million taels.

When the time comes, I’ll let my relatives know and give you 50000 battle merits to report to the battle merits division.

“With that, not only will you get the land, you’ll also get beautiful women, and you’ll also get military achievements.

This battle merit was actually an extra gift.

Of course, with this condition now, once the war is over, the war merits division will not admit it.

” Zhao Duan said.

“Lord Zhao, you’ve spoken too little,” Feng jiuxue said.

“What is the meaning of this, young lady?” Zhao Duan was stunned.

“Sir Jue has plenty of money.

You should be bidding six million taels.” Feng jiuxue said fiercely.

“Then forget it.

Lord Jue is also a noble of Chu State.

If you can help, then help.” Zhao Duan shook his head.

“Hehe, a pretty girl can be sold to a brothel for about thirty taels.

No matter how you calculate, it won’t exceed eighty thousand taels for more than two thousand people.

As for the land, how much silver would a thousand mu cost? this area was not very prosperous and was even a little remote.

One mu of land is only two or three hundred taels of silver.

A thousand mu of land would not exceed three hundred thousand taels of silver, and the total would not exceed five hundred thousand taels of silver.

” Tang Wen said with a smile.

“Hehehe, Lord Jue, how can my group of official slaves compare with ordinary women? For example, for the same person, do you buy a high scholar at the same price as buying an ordinary person?” Zhao Duan laughed.

“Of course not, but I need young men.

This batch of women can’t do farming, and I don’t open a brothel, right? A thousand taels per person, what’s the difference between that and robbery?” Tang Wen said.
