Chapter 417: Tiger Seal town (2)
“What a joke! Whoever is in charge of this ocean Saint City should belong to my provincial governor’s office.
The Blue Moon Mountain Manor is in the ocean saint’s territory, and we confiscated it, so it naturally belongs to the provincial governor’s office.
“Moreover, all the money you earn from selling them will be used to pay the soldiers and serve the Imperial court. Aren’t you the Vice Commander-in-Chief?
Even if you’re a soldier, you still need to eat and wear clothes, especially during a war. Don’t you need a salary?
Your military salary is the same as the money my provincial governor’s office got from selling the manor. ” Zhang Zhongyuan snorted.
“Lord Zhang is blind on this point.” Tang Wen said.
“Blind? you’re saying that I, Zhang Zhongyuan, am blind?” When Zhang Zhongyuan heard this, he was instantly enraged and slammed his palm on the table.
Tang Wen’s heart moved and he glanced at the little human above his head.
Damn, this guy is really an expert, he’s actually a divine sense realm expert. Coupled with the large number of troops in his hands, no wonder he was so arrogant?
“I, Tang Wen, led the Tang family and killed more than 80000 enemies, but I didn’t get a single cent of salary! That’s why I said Lord Zhang was blind. ” Tang Wen snorted.
“If you didn’t get paid, why don’t you pay for it yourself?” Zhang Zhongyuan snorted. However, he was also stunned for a moment.
“That’s true. Vice Commander-in-Chief Tang paid for it himself.
Moreover, the troops that fought against the enemy were all made up of the servants of vice Commander-in-Chief Tang’s family.
......
If we were to say that the Imperial court sent troops, it would be the eight battalions of the ocean Saint black cavalry, which is only a Battalion. ” Zhuang Qiyang replied.
“Official Tang is rich and overbearing, to be able to support hundreds of thousands of servants.” Zhang chongyuan snorted. Liu huaijun, who was beside him, was also stunned.
“A few hundred thousand? no, we don ‘t. When we lost our lives to the enemy, our Tang family only had twenty to thirty thousand men.” Tang Wen said.
“Since the manor has already been sold, and the silver has also been turned into military pay for the soldiers in the front line, the soldiers in the front line will have to pay. So, there’s no need to mention this matter anymore. ” Zhang Zhongyuan said.
“If the manor does not belong to the provincial governor’s office, then Lord Zhang is violating the rules by selling the property of the Imperial court. Moreover, you sold the property of a rebellious official. That’s a dirty thing, and it’s a serious crime!” Tang Wen sneered.
“Dirty things! You’re putting such a big hat on me, I’m not scared.
Since you’re talking to me about ownership, then I’ll tell you that you have no right to ask.
This official still has matters to attend to, so I won’t be entertaining you. See the guests out!” Zhang chongyuan raised his teacup.
“Sir Tang, please take all your men out of the manor. The villa belongs to my ten thousand flower Pavilion, and I won’t allow you to run into it. Otherwise, I won’t be polite. ” Liu huaijun snorted.
“How can you say it’s yours before the matter is settled? We’ll talk about it when it’s settled. If you dare to move my men, you will be punished for attacking me!” Tang Wen stood up and said.
“Lord Zhang, I’ll say the ugly words first. Since you’ve decided, the villa is my ten thousand flower Pavilion. If official Tang insists on barging in, this Pavilion won’t be able to control its subordinates. ” Liu huaijun was furious.
“Official Tang, this official will give you six hours to pull the men away. Otherwise, I’ll send people to drive you away. If they dare to resist, take them all down and question them. ” Zhang Zhongyuan was determined to help the ten thousand flower Pavilion.
“GUMU Tong, go back and hang my Tiger Seal above the manor. Whoever dares to touch it will be charged with offense and killed without mercy!” Tang Wen took out the Tiger Seal and handed it to gumutong.
“Subordinates, hear my order!” Gumutong nodded and strode away with the Tiger tally.
“Tang Wen, you’re so bold. Do you want to go against me?” Zhang chongyuan was furious. He slammed the table and stood up.
“If Lord Zhang insists on being biased and doesn’t resolve the matter, this Lord will accompany you to the end!” Tang Wen flicked his sleeves and left. Zhang Zhongyuan was so angry that his face turned black. He shouted to his subordinates,”men, bring some men to the Blue Moon villa and kick them out.” Tang Wen, I’d like to see if you dare to resist. ”
“If you dare to touch my people, we’ll fight you to the end!” Tang Wen replied without turning his head.
Then, Tang Wen went to the public house and explained the matter to Chu Guang.
“Zhang Zhongyuan really knows how to take advantage of a loophole. He doesn’t even put His Highness in his eyes.” Chu Guang scoffed.
“Your Highness most likely knows about this, but you’ve been unable to find an opportunity to counterattack. This time, I’ve come to create an opportunity for Your Highness.” Tang Wen said.
“I can’t say for sure. After all, as a Prince, there are many things to do. Where would I find the time to pay attention to the Blue Moon villa?” Chu Guang shook his head.
“He definitely knows. Otherwise, you see, Junior Brother, just the Blue Moon villa’s territory was sold to Zhang Zhongyuan for sixty million taels.
“The land that I’ve bought also includes a few thousand acres of land on the White River, a Yang River copper mine, and a group of officials and servants.
Wangye was just doing business earlier and said he wouldn’t give me a cheap price, so why did he only take thirty million taels from me in the end?
He even promised me that he would only give me fifteen million taels, and the rest would be paid with second-hand muskets.
This was clearly a loss, wasn’t it? Junior Brother, tell me, how much silver do you think my big territory is worth?” Tang Wen said.
“It’s definitely worth more than 30 million taels. The Blue Moon villa alone is worth 60 million taels. Adding the copper mine, the land, and the official slaves, it’s worth at least 100 million taels.
I didn’t pay much attention to this before, and thought it was because of the recent shortage of salary.
Wangye is in a hurry to sell you out, and Wangye knows your relationship with me and has the intention of taking care of you, so he gave you a discount.
Now it seemed that this matter was far from that simple.
If I were to use Zhang Zhongyuan’s words, your thirty million taels would have gone down the drain. ” Chu Guang replied.
“I didn’t expect that my sincere treatment of His Highness, giving him merit and a Void Bag, would result in such an outcome.
