“It’s all because of the war in the Northwest. It’s not just Yanling, it’s the same everywhere. The Imperial court had already transferred over a million soldiers and handymen to transport rations and horses to ensure that the soldiers at the front line would fight. The surrounding great Qi, great Zhao, and even the sun nation across the ocean are also getting restless. They want to seize the opportunity to occupy the land of great Chu. That’s why they have to be on guard against them. It’s troublesome. ” Ding Zhendong let out a long sigh with a worried expression. “Oh, I forgot. Isn’t Lord Jue the Vice – commander of the team training?” Zhao zhilong slapped the back of his horse and said. “Lord Zhao, I’m the Deputy envoy of the Jiang state group. I don’t care about the matters in Yanling County.” Tang Wen quickly said. “Yanling Prefecture also belongs to our Linghai province. Lord Jue, the country is in trouble, and you are a Royal noble. Shouldn’t you share the country’s burden?” Ding Zhendong said. “That’s right, Lord Jue. Since you’re willing to accept the refugees from mo Cloud Camp, why don’t you return them a home? First, they had a home and could settle down. Secondly, and more importantly, he protected the garrison camp. Otherwise, we’ll have to move to who knows where. That will require a lot of manpower, resources, and money. Besides, the neighboring province is eyeing us covetously, so the Tianying River is the best place for us to defend. It’s only about 20 li from Ningxi province. If there’s something, it can be reached in less than an hour by fast horse. ” Chu Zhao said. “Back then, I had an agreement with Mr. Qin. Mr. Qin didn’t give us a single cent, and my Tang family had to pay for the recruitment of soldiers. So, I could only prepare the servants into soldiers, including their clothes, swords, and so on. It was all paid by my Tang family. In this case, I’ve made a request to help wipe out the Pirates around somi. However, he didn’t participate in anything else. Mr. Qin also agreed. I was afraid that he would go back on his word, so I signed a contract with him. Furthermore, somi Island has already suffered two sneak attacks from the Pirates, and my Tang family was almost exterminated. If he’s transferred here, who’s going to help my Tang family protect sumi Island?” Tang Wen said. “That’s true. Mr. Qin didn’t give Lord Jue a single cent, so how could he have the face to touch the Tang family’s soldiers?” Zhao zhilong nodded in understanding. “Lord Jue, we are all people of Chu. You should consider the big picture and overcome all difficulties. We must protect the sky Eagle Valley Garrison.” Ding Zhendong said with a serious expression. “It’s not easy to clean up this stinky water. It’s smelly, dirty, and even poisonous. They would need a large number of people, and they had to eat and live every day. If your clothes are ruined by the stinky water, you’ll have to buy new clothes and so on. That’ll cost a lot of money. ” Tang Wen said. “I can convert it into battle credits for you. One battle credit for each person.” Ding Zhendong blurted. “Then we’ll probably have to send one or two thousand people.” Chu Zhao said. “There are too many. I have to think about it.” Tang Wen shook his head. Then, the group returned to the military camp, washed up, and prepared to eat. “Lord Zhao, we must take down Tang Wen. This is related to the garrison camp. This is an order.” Ding Zhendong called Zhao zhilong and Chu Zhao to the side to discuss important matters. “But they’re soldiers from Jiang Prefecture. Besides, Mr. Qin didn’t give them a single cent, so how could they have the face to mention this? Moreover, what he said made sense. We have to pay for the expenses, where would the garrison camp get the money?” Zhao zhilong said. “Ask Zhang Hongjiang. He’s the governor of a County.” Ding Zhendong snorted. “He’s crying even more miserably than I am. However, I’m also aware that he hasn’t been having a good time recently. I heard that they extorted a lot of silver from the branch of six Fan School. ” Zhao zhilong shook his head and said. “Why don’t we get Sir Jue drunk tonight and trick him into making a military pledge?” Chu Zhao gritted his teeth. “This method is not bad, but it is not very fair.” Zhao zhilong shook his head. “This is the best way. What else can we do? Why don’t I come forward and sign it with him? if he wants to hate someone, then he can just hate me. ” Chu Zhao requested. “Alright, since Sir Chu can share the burden of the country, this matter is settled.” Ding Zhendong nodded. “However, we can’t be too dishonest. Should we give him some benefits too? Otherwise, you can’t blame us too much after this, right?” Chu Zhao thought for a while and said. “Just double the amount. Report a little more for the personnel, and a little more for the money spent. After the discount, it’ll be almost double. ” Ding Zhendong said. “We’ll follow Sir ding’s orders. ” Zhao zhilong and Chu Zhao both nodded. It was time to eat … For food cooked with modern methods, ding Zhendong was of course interested. However, this fellow did not forget his goal. Tang Wen had already received Chu Zhao’s Secret report and was drunk not long after. Moreover, he had signed a military pledge in a daze. Tang Wen woke up and naturally flew into a rage. Zhao zhilong and ding Zhendong put on an act of comforting and persuading Tang Wen. In the end, ding Zhendong even agreed to deploy ten black – clothed cannons for Tang Wen. After making the promise of double the battle merits, Tang Wen finally gave Chu Zhao a good scolding and could only accept it helplessly. “Lord Chu, I’m sorry to have let you suffer.” Ding Zhendong patted Chu Zhao’s shoulder and consoled him. “It’s Chu Zhao’s duty to serve the country and his Excellency. ” Chu Zhao’s face was determined. “Good, good, good. I’ll report your contributions truthfully.” Ding Zhendong laughed. “Sir ding, I will be leaving the sky Eagle Gorge soon. Chu Zhao is not bad, and he has actually stepped into the middle stage of the fourth stage. His cultivation is even higher than mine. He is very familiar with our Sky Eagle Gorge. If the higher – ups were to send a new person down, it would take some time to prepare. ” Zhao zhilong said. “Yes, but Chu Zhao is too young and still needs to be honed. This time, if we can make a contribution by escorting the provisions and horses to the front line, there’s hope. ” Ding Zhendong nodded. “I’m determined to complete the mission. As long as I, Chu Zhao, have a breath, I will not let my food and horses go missing.” Chu Zhao’s face was firm. “Good, good. We need such brave and courageous soldiers. Do your best.” Ding Zhendong nodded repeatedly. Meanwhile, Tang Wen had already led his men back to mo Cloud Camp. He carefully climbed up the hill and almost went crazy with joy. There was actually a pond on the hill. It was about a mile wide and was still gurgling with oil. Tang Wen found that the sand and gravel had been washed down the hillside by the oil that had emerged earlier. The oil stored in the pool was quite clean. If it was brought back to Yunhai city, it could basically be sent to the refineries to be refined. Before the system was activated, there was a pre – Cache function, and after the transmigration was activated, there was a delayed cache function, which would take about five days. Therefore, Tang Wen made a prompt decision. After giving Luo Yiwu instructions, he told them to go back and recruit people to clean up. He shouted ‘I’m the great landlord’ in his mind, and the oil in the pool was instantly sucked in. After loading a total of 7000 tons, Tang Wen found that the oil pool suddenly sank. It was estimated that it would take one or two months to fill it up again. In the future, this place would be their own oil mining base. Tang Wen stepped through the door, and with a flash of green light, he returned to Yunhai city. He immediately instructed Zhao Jiang to hire many large fuel trucks near the refinery. On a dark and windy night, all the oil was loaded into the fuel trucks. According to the international crude oil trend that day, Tang Wen gave a 15% discount and 30 million Yuan went into his pocket. This money came too easily. Of course, Tang Wen’s appetite was big now, and tens of millions were no longer worth his attention. After a turn, Tang Wen took a plane to Milo. After converting the 1.5 million taels of gold he had obtained from the Chu country into silver bricks, he had obtained a total of 29 million taels of silver. The remaining 300000 taels were sold for close to 3 billion and he returned to the DA Dong Kingdom to purchase supplies. This time, he didn’t need to bring cement back, so there was a large amount of space for his luggage. They mainly purchased steel bars, trucks, excavators, stone shatterers, and other equipment.
