I'm the lord of the alien world

Chapter 110 The Big Plan

"I will give the general three sets, including bulletproof military boots, one for self-protection, and one for giving away. I believe that the generals and generals in the army will not refuse." Tang Wendao.

"Master Tang, Jiang has written down your love." Jiang Xuan said solemnly.

"Isn't this set worth a lot?" Tie Wenjing asked.

"These are the equipment of the elites in the Western Army, and they cannot be bought outside. I also got a batch through some means. Of course, good things are expensive." Tang Wendao.

"How much?" Jiang Xuan asked curiously.

Tang Wen held out two fingers.

"2 taels? In terms of life-saving, it's not expensive. An elite armor in our army costs a few thousand taels." Jiang Xuan said.

"Expensive is not expensive, but, alas, it's a pity..." Tie Wenjing said with a look of greed.

"Master Tie comes to my senior brother, I'll give you a set." Tang Wen said.

"How can this be done? It's too expensive." Although Tie Wenjing said that, his eyes were fixed on the equipment.

"Should be." Tang Wen said.

"Master Jiang, the Sir has made such a great contribution to the court, can't we let him suffer?" Tie Wenjing said.

"That's natural. The bulletproof vests donated by Sir Alex are all for the country. I will turn them into military exploits and send them to Sir Alex. Are you satisfied with a set of more than 200 military exploits?" Jiang Xuan asked.

"I have no objection to Mr. Jiang's calculations." Tang Wen said, and thus, nearly a thousand military exploits were obtained again.

"My lord, Master Tie said that your island of Koh Samui is often attacked by pirates, moreover, it has been encountered three times.

How about this, you are the deputy training envoy of the Jiangzhou Prefecture, I will apply for some cannons from the Chaoting Casting Mansion for you.

At that time, as long as the pirate ships attack the island, you can bombard it. "After a few bottles of wine, Jiang Xuan said.

"That's good, I'm worried about this." Tang Wen said.

"Of course, you have to pay for it yourself," Jiang Xuan said.

"Should be, it would be better if we can get more doors." Tang Wen said.

"Ten gates." Jiang Xuan said.

A few days later, the Wolong Lake Dam was finally completed after more than eight months.

Tang Wen personally checked it several times, and after confirming that it was correct, he issued an order to store water.

Below, when the rushing water flowed straight down from Chaotian Peak and came straight to Wolong Lake, thousands of servants of the Tang family exclaimed and screamed.

They hugged each other with tears in their eyes, because this is the result of their joint efforts, full of sense of accomplishment.

Of course, it is estimated that it will take about a month for such a large lake to fill the entire Wolong Lake.

In the evening, hundreds of banquet tables were set up in the camp, and Tang Wen let everyone have a good drink and a good meal.

At the same time, after the once-in-a-decade ebb tide, the sea shelf was finally exposed, and the continental shelf connecting Koh Samui and the land was completely exposed.

Zhan Dongwen immediately sent someone down to measure it, and found that the water depth under the stone bridge was only about ten meters deep.

What surprised Tang Wen even more was that the continental shelf of Baihu Island, three or four miles away from Koh Samui, was also exposed.

"Yiwu, Dongwen, our plan has to be changed." Tang Wen said.

"Change, shouldn't the bridge be built right away? If we don't build it now, we'll have to wait a few years to start construction." Zhan Dongwen was stunned and asked sincerely.

"It's not that we don't want to build it. We not only want to build a bridge connecting Koh Samui to the mainland, but also start building a bridge between Koh Samui and Baihu Island.

In this way, the two islands can be completely connected by two bridges.

In the future, it will be much more convenient to go to Baihu Island. " Tang Wen shook his head.

"White Tiger Island is full of terrible man-eating trees and flowers. Birds dare not shit on this island. What's the use of spending so much money to build a bridge to the island? It's too wasteful." Zhan Dongwen said.

"Yes, according to your master's plan, the bridge is about [-] meters wide, and it is three or four miles away from Baihu Island. A bridge cannot be taken down without a few million taels of silver.

In addition to Koh Samui, the two bridges add up to five or six million taels of silver.

Master, although you have made a lot of money selling wine and mirrors, Jianmei spends too much.

The main thing is that it is a waste to build a bridge that is useless. "Luo Yiwu also said.

"Yiwu, Dongwen, you two should take a long-term view.

Who said White Tiger Island is useless?What are piranhas and piranhas?We can get rid of them in a month with a strong weed removal agent.

At that time, we will have to reclaim wasteland and farm land, and it would be a pity if we don't reclaim it.

Although building a bridge costs a lot at the moment, in the long run, we will make a lot of money.

There is no need to discuss this matter, it is so decided.

Dongwen, you arrange the manual survey immediately, and the construction will officially start in a few days, and the personnel will be divided into two groups.

Our main task in the next stage is to build the two bridges. " Tang Wen said.

"We have built the road to this side. Although it is not wide, it can still be used. However, the road to Baihu Island has to be opened, which is a lot of money." Zhan Dongwen said.

"It will be built in the future, and when the time is ripe, we will also build a road around the island.

It circles around the entire Koh Samui, and houses will be built on both sides of the road around the island in the future.

Therefore, we first built a section according to the picture, connecting Baihu Island and Wolong Lake.

Going further, in the future, we must connect Baihu, Sumei and the mainland to create a huge homeland of our own. " Tang Wen said.

"My lord, isn't the Turtle Island on our right exposed to the bottom of the sea?

This island is only three or four miles away from our Koh Samui Island, but it is a pity that the Turtle Island is not our own.

Otherwise, if we build it together, three bridges connect three islands, then the scope of our Tang family plus the sea surface.

If it is two or three hundred miles long from east to west, and two hundred miles from north to south, it will be extremely large. " Li Quan laughed foolishly.

"You don't feel pain in your back when you stand and talk, and you can't stand the two bridges, so you have to build a third bridge, which will exhaust you to death?" Zhan Dongwen said angrily.

"That's tens of millions of taels of silver, where to take it? It's almost like a dream." Luo Yiwu also said.

However, Tang Wen was shocked and said, "That's right! Li Quan, your suggestion is not bad."

"Not bad, not bad, where did you get the money? Even the richest man in Great Chu, Shen Wansi, would have a headache, right?" Li Liao couldn't stand it anymore, and became angry.

"Shen Wansi can afford it. It is said that his family's property and silver taels are as rich as a country, no less than hundreds of millions of taels. The monarch married all the princesses to the Shen family, which shows how powerful the Shen family is." Dongfang Ming said.

"Is Shen Wansi really that rich?" Tang Wen was startled.

"Of course! A few hundred million is still small, probably no less than one billion taels." Dongfang Ming said.

"How much tax can our big Chu collect in a year?" Tang Wen asked.

"Our big Chu has a vast land and resources, with a population of more than one billion. In a good year, the annual tax is estimated to be no less than 50 billion taels. In the past two years of famine, there are still three to four billion taels." Dongfang Ming said.

It seems that Da Chu is really rich, and the annual tax of the Qing Dynasty is only one or two hundred million taels.

Of course, the tax collected by the provincial government is not included, and Da Chu is dozens of times his.

Of course, this has something to do with the output of silver mines.

"Actually, your idea of ​​building a bridge is wrong." Tang Wen said.

"What's wrong? It doesn't cost money to build a bridge?
Although the workers are from the Tang family, the master still has to take care of them eating, drinking, and taking showers, seeing a doctor and taking a bath.

The elixirs for practicing kung fu and the weapons for equipping, which ones don’t cost money?

Don't talk about anything else, just the monthly monthly bills have reached tens of thousands of taels, that's all money.

After a year, the master's expenses are not several million taels. "Ge Ziyun said unconvinced.
