I Am The Landlord In Another World Novel - Chapter 89

Chapter 89: Chapter 88 – donating the Deputy envoy (1)

“But even as a first – Class Earl, I can only form a personal guard of about 400 people. Any more than that and I’ll be breaking the rules of the court. I’ll have to be beheaded.” Tang Wen shook his head. “Hehehe, Mr. Qin has already thought of this for you.” Tie Wen Jing said with a smile. “Oh, what’s the story?” Tang Wen asked. “What Mr. Qin means is for you to donate another official. For example, Jiang state capital’s deputy training Ambassador. At that time, you can openly recruit soldiers, a thousand men. If we include your personal guards, that’ll be as many as 1500 people. At that time, we’ll have the power to fight back if we encounter Pirates. ” Tie Wen Jing said. “I’ve brought the official seal with me, and I’ve already asked for the Imperial court’s approval. ” Botong Qin waved his hand and private advisor Qin brought over a box. After opening it, there was an official seal inside. “Because you’re a first uncle, chaoting agreed to it. Otherwise, I don’t have the right to donate. ” The teeman mirror said. “The court gives special treatment to those who have a Lord. They can donate money to buy officials. Of course, it also depends on the official position, such as team training envoy, pacification envoy, and so on. ” Master Qin said. “It’s just some idle work. Of course the Imperial court would agree. ” Tang Wen replied. “You can’t say that. Although it’s an idle job, you, as the Deputy, have the authority to recruit local soldiers. At that time, it would also be in line with the rules of the court to give you some firearms. For example, the falling fire and the black – robed cannon. Of course, we can give you some of these things. However, you’ll have to pay for the silver when you withdraw it from the forging residence of the Imperial court. ” Master Qin said. “That’s fine too. However, the Jiang state capital’s training envoy is Lord Qin. All the expenses of my soldiers are paid by the Tang family, including the food, clothing, and use. Thus, the Imperial court can not simply transfer my soldiers away. Otherwise, wouldn’t my Tang Clan have trained soldiers for nothing? Of course, for example, if we encounter Pirates and bandits attacking somi Island, that’s our duty. I’m raising them to protect the safety of somi Island. SuMei Island is safe now. When the time comes, we can have time to develop the land and plant crops. We have paid a lot of taxes, which is also a contribution to the Imperial court. Furthermore, the people are living in peace and working in peace, and this has also helped Jiang state capital solve some local problems, right?” Tang Wen said. “Don’t worry, Lord Tang. The Jiang state capital will not transfer your men no matter how difficult it is. Our Jiang Prefecture is the main city of a province, and we have more than 10 Navy camps. Adding on great Chu’s Army, we have a total of 10 camps. There were also a few battalions of the Empire’s elite black cavalry Battalion, as well as bailiffs, constables, and local soldiers. There were no less than 150000 of them. Lord Tang, you only have one or two thousand men. Hehe, I, Qin Botong, am not here to take advantage of you. ” Qin Botong said with slight disdain. “Words are not proof, words are proof!” Tang Wen didn’t care about him. It was written in black and white, and the official documents still counted. “This official document can be made. However, since Lord Tang is the Deputy envoy of the regimental training, you have to do something for the Jiang state capital. Therefore, if Pirates attack the surrounding islands and seas, shouldn’t Lord Tang send troops to annihilate them since he’s the Vice – commander of the regimental training?” Qin Botong said. “The surroundings? how big is the surroundings? there should be a rough area, right?” Tang Wen asked. He couldn’t be fooled by Qin Botong. In general, the sea area of the entire Jiang state capital could be said to be around SuMei Island. This pirate ship could not be boarded casually. “About sixty miles from SuMei Island.” Private advisor Qin said. “This is not a small area. The Jiang state capital’s area is only about two hundred li in total. My defense area has actually reached sixty miles. Hehe, can these few people do it? Also, the Imperial court is not paying for the food and money, and my Tang family is paying for it. This is making things difficult for my Tang family. ” Tang Wen said with a smile. “This is indeed a little difficult for you. However, you are different from others as the Deputy commander. You have the authority to recruit two thousand local soldiers. In addition to the four to five hundred personal guards, the number of servants and guards could reach three thousand. There are three thousand of them. If they are well – equipped, they should be able to defend against it. ” Qin Botong said. “To be well – equipped would require a lot of silver. I’ll be exhausted from running around. It’s fine if I don’t become the Deputy of the team training. I’m happy to be idle.” Tang Wen said. “Hehe, Lord Tang, actually, master Qin has already made plans for you.” Private advisor Qin said with a smile. “Oh?” Tang Wen looked at him. “Because you have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders, this time, Sir Qin has asked the Imperial court for an order. They said that you’re a first – rank Earl, that you’ve donated tents and money to your mother. This time, when the Army received the tents, they all said that your tents were good, and that you’ve also annihilated a large number of Pirates. Therefore, the clan Hall of sea Saint City thinks that you are worthy of the heavy responsibility. Therefore, I agree to make The White Tiger Island your fief. ” Private advisor Qin said. “White Tiger Island? where is it?” Tang Wen asked. “Master, The White Tiger Island is in front of our SuMei Island on the left. It’s only five or six miles away from our SuMei Island.” At this moment, Luo Yiwu said. “That island’s territory isn’t small either, it’s about the same size as somi. Back then, your Tang family spent a million taels to buy this SuMei Island. ” Private advisor Qin said. “I suggested White Tiger Island and the higher – ups agreed to reward you. Thus, you don’t need to pay so much silver. You only need to pay six hundred thousand taels. ” Qin Botong said. “The White Tiger Island is a deserted island. There are man – eating trees and man – eating flowers all over the island, so it’s not suitable for humans to live on. Even birds don’t dare to go to that kind of place. Let alone 600000, even 100000 would not be enough. ” Luo Yiwu said. “How can you say that? That island’s territory was comparable to SuMei Island. If Lord Tang could reclaim SuMei Island, he believed that he could also reclaim White Tiger Island. You see, once your Crouching Dragon Lake is built, how wonderful will that be? I believe that you have the ability to build White Tiger Island. At that time, you’ll have earned a lot. ” Qin Botong said with a straight face. “I’m sorry, but I don’t have that ability. ” Tang Wen said firmly. He was clear in his heart. What bullsh * t title, team training vice envoy, he was just after his wallet and wanted to make money. “Hehe, even Lord tang can’t say that. It was all for the court. The War in the North and west had already entered a state of white heat, and they needed large amounts of money and grain. Otherwise, once the northwest region is invaded by the great Qin, the country will be in danger. ” Qin Botong laughed drily. “But you can’t treat me like a fool! There’s good wine for friends, but if anyone wants to take me for a fool, then please go ahead. I’m sorry I can’t entertain you. ” Tang Wen said angrily. “This is impossible!” Qin Botong’s face turned serious.”Lord Tang, I’m giving you The White Tiger Island to strengthen your defense. It was for the safety of somi Island. If the Pirates were to hide on White Tiger Island, the danger to somi Island would increase. Once The White Tiger Island becomes your territory, you can send people to defend the island. By then, even the Pirates will be afraid of taking action. Of course, I know that Lord Tang is not happy. Therefore, he specially asked for instructions from the higher – ups, and they approved it. I’ve decided to give Lord Tang the fief located at No. 8 East Street of the provincial capital, along with The White Tiger Island. ” “The Mei mansion is not small, it’s about 100 mu of land. The East Street of the provincial capital is a busy area. The Mei mansion was facing the street. As long as the wall of the mansion was pushed down, it could become dozens of shops. At that time, just collecting a year’s rent would not be a small amount. ” Private advisor Qin chimed in from the side. “How much silver do you want?” Tang Wen asked sarcastically. “Along with The White Tiger Island, it’s a total of eight hundred thousand taels.” Private advisor Qin said.
