I Am The Landlord In Another World-Chapter 38

“The one I gave you last time was expensive, but this one is much cheaper. It costs ten taels of silver each.” Tang Wen said. “You still owe me twenty thousand taels. Give me two thousand.” Li Dawang did not even consider it. That was because he had played with the previous one for a few days, and there were too many benefits. For example, li Dawang’s wife wanted a few because it was easy to light a fire. Otherwise, he would have to reserve a fire seed. When he lit the fire, he would have to blow the fire seed desperately. It was extremely inconvenient. With this lighter, it would be much more convenient. “You’re my biggest customer, so I’ll give you an additional fifty.” Tang Wen said with a smile. “Brother, if you have any problems in the future, look for me, li da Wang. Let’s eat and drink to our heart’s content and go to the floating fragrance brothel to play with women.” Li Dawang looked like a nouveau riche. “Master, we sold it too cheap, we’ve lost too much.” The Tang Army said after they came out. “What do you mean?” Tang Wen asked. “Just the pearls on the Silver Crown alone cost twenty to thirty taels. Eighteen of them can definitely be sold for around five hundred and fifty taels. With the Silver Crown, it would at least cost seven hundred taels.” The Tang Army said. “Hehe, it’s fine. I’ll just eat a little loss and make some friends.” Tang Wen waved his hand. In his heart, he thought that such a low – Quality Pearl was only worth 30 to 40 yuan in the wholesale price in modern society, and a Silver Crown was less than 5000 Yuan. However, there were no pearl cultivation techniques in ancient times. They were all dug out from wild shells. Naturally, the production was pathetically low, and one had to be extremely lucky to find a shell with a Pearl. Therefore, a low – Quality Pearl would cost 20 to 30 taels. Li Dawang was not an idiot. Just those eighteen pearls were worth more than five hundred taels. He was sure to make a profit. Both sides felt that they had made a huge profit, so naturally, they were happy. Li Dawang was so happy that he even erased the small change of three hundred taels from qianye workshop. Accompanied by Butler ning, both parties went straight to the prefecture to complete the land deed change procedure. As soon as he entered the Yamen, he ran into Yang Yun, who said happily,”Lord Jue, your title of Earl has been approved.” Lord Zhang was just about to send someone to SuMei Island to inform you, but you came first. Just in time, come with me to see Lord Zhang. ” “Congratulations, my Lord.” When Butler ning heard this, he quickly cupped his hands and congratulated her. “Tang Jun, you go with Butler ning to handle the change. I’m going to see Lord Zhang.” “Let’s go in,” Tang Wen greeted and followed Yang Yun inside. “Hahaha, my Lord, your wine is really good.” Yang Yun chatted affectionately with Tang Wen while they walked. Not far away, Butler ning’s eyes were wide open, thinking that the relationship between these two was not bad. “If Constable yang likes it, I still have a few bottles with me. I’ll give you another bottle.” Tang Wen said with a smile. “How can I do that?” Yang Yun said. “Why not? wine is meant to be drunk. I don’t have time to drink with you, so I can only let you bring it home to taste.” Tang Wen said with a smile. “Thank you, thank you. However, I really need two bottles.” Yang Yun said. “Constable yang, are you giving it away?” Tang Wen asked. “You’ve guessed it right. Not long ago, Wu Yunxian from the provincial governor’s office,’Lord Shi’, came down. He drank that wine and couldn’t stop praising it. ” Yang Yun said. “Hehehe, then I have to congratulate you, Constable yang. You’ll probably be promoted soon, right?” Tang Wen said with a smile. Wu Yunxian was the official of the Department of Historical records who took the examination for the provincial officials. In modern times, he was called the organization Minister of the provincial government. Of course, Wu Yunxian’s authority was only below rank -7, including rank -7. As for those above the seventh rank, they had to be approved by the provincial governor’s office and then reported to the Ministry of History for review and approval. Of course, the military was linked to the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of History had no right to make a direct decision. “The eight words haven’t even taken shape, sigh ... It’s difficult, even though the county house’s criminal officer Lord Qian is transferred to another place. However, not to mention the entire province, even our Yanling Prefecture alone has many eyes on us. ” Constable yang sighed. The criminal officer of a Prefecture was in charge of arresting and supervising the prison. He was a rank seven official, equivalent to the director of the city Public Security Bureau. Constable yang was only a rank eight now. Naturally, he would be promoted to this position. “Is there any official in Yanling County who is more senior than you, Constable yang? You’re Wu Jin tu, and being a Constable is already a waste of your talent. The position of the executioner is more suitable. ” Tang Wen asked, pretending to be surprised. “I won’t hide it from you, brother. Back then, after martial arts entered high school, I was supposed to be promoted to a rank -7 general. However, fate makes a fool out of me. I’ve actually offended a vile person. In the end, he was demoted to the position of an arrester in Yanling County. I’ve been here for seven to eight years, and my butt is about to collapse on the stool. I’m still a small Constable. As a Constable, it’s too difficult to make a big contribution by catching thieves and thieves. ” Constable yang sighed. “It’s a bit difficult to sit in that position with just two bottles of wine. People will give silver. ” Tang Wen said. “Of course, but I’ve been working for seven or eight years, and I don’t have any savings. Even if I lend some to them, they won’t be interested.” Yang Yun said. “Leave the gift – giving to me, I’ll think of a way for you.” Tang Wen said. “Look, I owe you a favor again. If you need anything in the future, just let me know.” Constable yang said. “Definitely, definitely.” Tang Wen nodded. Soon, the two of them entered Lord Zhang’s office. He found that there were two other people besides Zhang Hongjiang, one taller and the other shorter. “Hehehe, congratulations, Lord Tang.” As soon as Tang Wen came in, Zhang Hongjiang, who was chatting, stood up and cupped his hands in greeting. “I have to thank Lord Zhang for your recommendation.” Tang Wen humbly cupped his hands and replied. “Lord Zhang, who is this?” The tall middle – aged man with big eyes looked at Tang Wen and asked. “Hehehe, Lord Zhou, you still don’t know? He’s the island master of Soma, the Earl, Tang Wen. ” Zhang Hongjiang laughed. “Zhou Zhao greets the Earl.” Zhou Zhao cupped his hands, but his attitude was a little cold. “Lord Zhou is a fellow official of our house, and this is judge Tian Shi long.” Zhang Hongjiang said as he introduced another person. “Good day, my Lords.” Tang Wen nodded indifferently. You, Zhou Zhao, tried to use your authority in front of me, so of course I won’t be polite to you. “Grand Master, move Lord Jue’s things over.” Zhang Hongjiang told his Grand Master Zhou Tong. Below, Zhou Tong took out the newly made headwear, documents, robes, and tokens, while the old ones had to be handed over. “Great Chu’s imperial court has just announced that the war in the Northwest is in a critical state. Tang Wen generously donated a large amount of silver to help great Chu recover its lost territory. In addition, he had led the guards to annihilate 72 Pirates, which was a Meritorious Service ... The imperial family conferred the title of third class Earl Yan Ling ...” After the formalities were completed, Zhou Zhao and Tian Shilong exchanged a few more polite words and found an excuse to leave. Seeing their attitude, Tang Wen didn’t feel the need to suck up to them. “Lord Zhang is an expert in painting and painting. I’ve come here today to invite you to appreciate a painting.” Tang Wen said with a smile. “Oh? Let this old man take a look. ” Zhang Hongjiang laughed. Tang Wen opened the box. The moment he opened the oil painting, Zhang Hongjiang suddenly became excited and blurted out,”this is it, this is it.” Of course, Tang Wen understood. The ‘it’ Zhang Hongjiang was referring to was the oil painting of ‘sun god Apollo’. This painting was originally a gift from the royal family to the Zhang family’s ancestor. Because of the fire, Zhang Hongjiang’s father became obsessed with the painting and had been lying in bed since. At that time, they had invited a master painter of Chu State to make a copy of the painting. However, the material was different and the essence was hard to obtain. The Zhang family had always been regretful. Through Yang Yun’s hands, Tang Wen had stolen the painting with his mobile phone. After he had traveled back to Yunhai, he had specially asked a European oil painting master to make a copy. In this way, if the material was the same, the essence would be revealed. Not to mention Zhang Hongjiang, even Constable yang was dumbfounded. He was probably wondering why it was exactly the same. “That’s it. Lord Zhang, what do you mean by “that”?” Tang Wen pretended to be confused and looked at him. “To tell you the truth, my father has been bedridden for more than ten years because of this.” Zhang Hongjiang said. “Yes, that painting was brought back by an official from the West ...” Constable yang immediately added. “Can you sell this painting to me?” Zhang Hongjiang asked. “Reselling is definitely not possible.” Tang Wen shook his head. “Sigh ... Then lend it to me for a while. I want to let my father see it and fulfill his lifelong wish.” Zhang Hongjiang sighed. “Lord Zhang, your writing is unparalleled. I want to ask for two pieces of calligraphy, and this painting will be the ink. What do you think?” Tang Wen said. “Lord Jue, you’ve come to the right person. Lord Zhang’s calligraphy is famous in the court. Back then, Lord Zhang had been the flower of the palace’s probing. There are many people who come to ask for words, but Lord Zhang usually doesn’t use a brush. ” Constable yang said. “It seems that I’ve found the right person. I wonder if Lord Zhang is interested.” Tang Wen cupped his hands and said. “What word does Lord Jue want to ask for?” Zhang Hongjiang asked.
