Chapter 89
"But even if I am a first-class earl, I can only form a personal guard army of more than 400 people. If there are more, I will break the court rules and be beheaded." Tang Wen shook his head.

"Hehehe, Mr. Qin has already thought of this for you." Tie Wenjing laughed.

"Oh, what's wrong with that?" Tang Wen asked.

"Lord Qin means to ask you to donate another official, for example, the deputy envoy of the Jiangzhou prefecture.

At that time, you can recruit soldiers in a grand manner, with 1000 troops.

Plus your personal guards, that's as many as 500 people.

At that time, if you encounter pirates, you will have the power to fight back. " Tie Wenjing said.

"I have brought all the official seals, and I have already asked the court for approval." Qin Botong waved his hand, Master Qin brought a box, and when he opened it, there was an official seal inside.

"Because you are a first-class uncle, the court agreed. Otherwise, you are not qualified to donate." Tie Wenjing said.

"The imperial court has certain preferential treatment for those who own the lord. You can donate money to buy an official. Of course, it also depends on the official position, such as regiment training envoy or appeasement envoy." Master Qin said.

"It's just some errands, of course the court agreed." Tang Wen replied.

"You can't say that, although you are all idlers, but you, the deputy envoy of the regiment, have the right to recruit local soldiers.

At that time, it is also in accordance with court rules to give you some guns.

For example, firecrackers and black cannons.Of course, we can approve some of these things for you.

However, when you go to the casting mansion of the court to withdraw the silver, you have to pay it yourself. " Master Qin said.

"That's fine, but the training envoy of the Jiangzhou prefecture is Mr. Qin.

All expenses for my soldiers are paid by the Tang family, including food and clothing.

Therefore, the court cannot just transfer my soldiers away.Otherwise, wouldn't my Tang family train soldiers for the court in vain?
Of course, for example, when pirates and bandits attack Koh Samui, that is our bounden duty.

I keep them just to protect the safety of Koh Samui.

Koh Samui is safe. At that time, we can spare time to open up wasteland, grow grain and beans, and we will pay more taxes, which is also a contribution to the court.

Even, the common people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and solved some local troubles for Jiangzhou Prefecture, right? " Tang Wen said.

"Don't worry, Lord Tang, the Jiangzhou government will never transfer your troops no matter how difficult it is.

I, Jiangzhou, is the main city of a province. There are only a dozen battalions of the Guangshui Division in the garrison, and a total of dozens of battalions including the Great Chu Army.

There are also several battalions of elite black cavalry battalions of the imperial dynasty, plus government servants to catch local soldiers, etc., no less than 15.

Mr. Tang, you only have 2000 people, hehe, Qin Botong, I am not going to beat Mr. Tang's autumn wind. "Qin Botong said slightly contemptuously.

"Words have no proof, words are evidence!" Tang Wencai didn't care about him, and the official documents prevailed.

"This official document can be established. However, since Lord Tang is the deputy envoy of the regiment training, he has to do his best for the Jiangzhou government. Therefore, if pirates attack the surrounding islands and waters, Mr. Tang is the deputy envoy of the regiment training. Shouldn't we send soldiers to destroy them?" Qin Botong said.

"Surroundings, how big is the surrounding area, shouldn't there be an approximate range?" Tang Wen asked, not to be fooled by Qin Botong.

Speaking of Dali, the entire sea area of ​​Jiangzhou Prefecture can be said to be around Koh Samui Island, and this thief boat cannot just board it.

"It's about sixty miles around Koh Samui." Master Qin said.

"This range is not small. The range of Jiangzhou Prefecture is estimated to be about [-] miles from east to west, north to south.

My defense zone actually reaches [-] miles, hehe, can this person do it?

What's more, if the court doesn't give money or food, it will all be paid by my Tang family. This is embarrassing my Tang family. " Tang Wen laughed.

"This is indeed a bit embarrassing for you, but you, the Deputy Envoy of the regiment, are different from others, you have the right to recruit [-] local soldiers.

Adding four or five hundred personal guards and family guards, the number can reach 3000.

There are 3000 people. If they are well equipped, they can be defended so-so. "Qin Botong said.

"The equipment is excellent, but it requires a large amount of silver. I will not be exhausted. This regiment's assistant envoy, even if I don't work, I will enjoy my leisure." Tang Wen said.

"Hehe, Lord Tang, in fact, Mr. Qin has already thought about it for you." Master Qin smiled.

"Oh?" Tang Wen looked at him.

"Because you have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders, this time, Mr. Qin specifically asked the court for orders.

Said that you are a first-class earl, donating tents and donating money. After receiving the tents this time, the army said that your tents are easy to use, and you also wiped out a large number of pirates.

Therefore, the Haisheng City Clan Hall believes that you are worthy of a heavy responsibility.

Therefore, agree to make Baihu Island your fief. " Master Qin said.

"Where is White Tiger Island?" Tang Wen asked.

"Master, White Tiger Island is just in front of our Koh Samui Island on the left, and it is only five or six miles away from our Koh Samui Island." At this time, Luo Yiwu said.

"The territory of that island is not small, comparable to that of Koh Samui. Back then, your ancestors of the Tang family spent a million taels on this Koh Samui." Master Qin said.

"Baihu Island was proposed by the official, and the higher-ups promised to award it to you. Therefore, there is no need for so much money. You only need to pay 60 taels." Qin Botong said.

"Baihu Island is a deserted island. The island is full of man-eating trees and man-eating flowers. It is not suitable for human habitation at all. The place where birds dare not go to shit, let alone 60 taels, there is no one for 10 taels Yes." Luo Yiwu said.

"How do you say that? That island's territory is comparable to that of Koh Samui. If Lord Tang can reclaim Koh Samui, I believe he can also reclaim Baihu Island.

You see, once your Wolong Lake is built, it will be so beautiful.

I believe Sir Alex has the ability to build White Tiger Island.

At that time, you will make a lot of money. "Qin Botong said with a straight face.

"Sorry, I don't have that ability." Tang Wen said stiffly.

It's like a mirror in my heart, what kind of bullshit title, deputy envoy of regiment training, is purely for my own wallet to make money.

"Hehe, Lord Tang can't say that.

It's all for the court, and the war in the Northwest has entered a fever pitch, requiring a lot of money and food.

Otherwise, once the Northwest is captured by the Great Qin State, the country will be in danger. " Qin Botong said with a dry laugh.

"But you can't take me for a fool! Friends come and have good wine, but if someone wants to take me, Tang Wen, for a while, please do it. I'm sorry Tang can't entertain me." Tang Wen said angrily.

"This is absolutely impossible!" Qin Botong said with a straight face, "Master Tang, the purpose of giving you the White Tiger Island is of course to strengthen your defense.

It is for the safety of Koh Samui. If the pirates hide in Baihu Island, the danger to Koh Samui will increase.

Once White Tiger Island becomes your territory, you can send people to the island to defend it. At that time, the pirates will also be wary.

Of course, I know that Jue Tang is unhappy.Therefore, I specifically asked the above for instructions, and the above also approved it.

It was decided to confer the Mei Mansion at No. [-] East Street of the provincial capital together with Baihu Island as a fief to Lord Tang. "

"The Mei House occupies quite a lot of land, a hundred acres of land, and the Provincial City East Street is a bustling area in the provincial capital.

The Mei House is facing the street, and as long as the fence of the house is pushed down, it can be transformed into dozens of storefronts.

At that time, just collecting rent for one year will not be a small amount. "Master Qin chimed in on the sidelines.

"How much money do you want?" Tang Wen asked sarcastically.

"Together with Baihu Island, the total is 80 taels." Master Qin said.
