Tales of Soldier - Chapter 121

[Chapter 121 (Part 2)]

Those who are on the list have lustful faces, those who are not on the list sigh and sigh, and as for those battleships that were destroyed… they don’t exist anymore, so they can’t have any expressions. Of course, for these dead retainers, the fiefs are automatically returned to the owner of the family as usual. However, all of them have the same expression, that is, they are shocked by Tang Long’s feat of destroying 16 warships.

Tang Nawen excitedly took out his electronic pen, thought about it on the map, and then drew a circle, and then said to Tang Long: “Family General Tang Long, in addition to the prescribed rewards, this gentleman will also specially reward you for your outstanding martial arts. , From now on, the three cities of Haicheng, Yecheng, and Wencheng, as well as the 20 million acres of land above and the people above are all granted to you, I hope you will make persistent efforts in the future!”

Although Tang Long was not very satisfied with the mere 2,000 square kilometers, because the area was not as big as his own expanded base, but in order not to leave a bad impression on everyone, especially Donnawen, he left his seat very quickly, and looked Respectfully and excitedly, he ran to the center of the hall, lying on the ground and expressing gratitude to the owner of the house in a very grateful tone.

Tang Nawen is very satisfied with Tang Long’s performance, and he is so careful to divide the seals for all people just to enjoy these. While the other retainers envied Tang Long for gaining so many fiefs, they hated Tang Long’s extremely nauseous words. In their hearts, Tang Long had already been branded a flatterer.

Tang Long, who returned to his seat, was no longer in the mood to hear how many acres of land were sealed by others, but boredly watched Yuna press the button on the table to help him check the status of the land. In fact, he doesn’t need to look at it much, the omnipotent No. 2 star has already obtained all the information on Tang Long’s fief.

No. 2 Xingling said with a smile: “Tang Long, 70% of your fiefs are plain areas, 20% are hilly areas, and the remaining 10% are coastal areas. The population of the fiefs is about 3 million, of which 2 million are concentrated in 3 The remaining 1 million people are scattered all over the place. Your fiefs belong to you with 5 fish farms, 12 livestock farms, 1 smelter, 3 giant fishing boats, and others There is also a 10-storey building with a total area of 10,000 square meters. Of course, the 2,000 square kilometers of land is yours, you can develop it as you like. Your total annual income is 5 billion Wulai coins, including All kinds of taxes and all the income of those factories, after deducting the salaries of workers and government personnel that should be paid every year, your annual income is only about 2 billion yuan.”

Tang Long nodded silently. If he had only been a soldier, his annual income of 2 billion would probably make him so excited that his brain was congested to death, right? But for himself, who now has trillions of funds in Cary, and every time the money is in units of 100 million, these 2 billion are not enough to build an ammunition storage warehouse. Alas, the money in the card will be used less and less, and only the money from the fief will continue to flow. It seems that I have to find a way to get more fiefs, especially to increase the income of the fiefs.

Desperately trying to think of a way to think of Tang Long, whose head was about to turn into a paste, he finally waited until the meeting was over, and then he forbeared his spirit and spoke a few words with the head of the family, took his military card, and left this lenient political discussion. temple.

Tang Long first ran back to the Meteorite, and then reported his situation to the female soldiers. With 50 landing craft, he landed directly on the coast of his fief without going through the cosmos port.

Tang Long, who got off the landing craft, stared dumbfounded at several dilapidated artificial fishing boats by the sea, as well as several dilapidated houses on the shore. The female soldiers who were laughing and laughing also stayed there like Tang Long after they got off the landing craft, because they saw hundreds of fishermen in tattered clothes on the fishing boat, gnashing their teeth and pulling the fishing net to fish.

Tang Long swallowed his saliva and asked Yuna next to him in confusion, “Have I returned to ancient times?”

Yuna shook her head, pointed to a tall and advanced floating fishing boat not far away and said, “It shouldn’t be, isn’t that boat very advanced?”

Tang Long looked at the advanced fishing boat and then looked at the broken fishing boats, and asked in disbelief, “Why are the two sides so disparate?”

Before Yuna could answer, several patrol boats playing rock music came quickly from a distance. This speedboat, which could have been floating in the air, deliberately flew close to the surface of the water. Not only did some people fall into the water, but half of the fish they had worked so hard to catch also fell back into the water.

The sharp-eyed Tang Long was surprised to find that the fishermen did not have hatred for the patrol boats on their faces, but looked at the fishes who had regained their freedom in the water with grief and indignation.

Just when Tang Long wondered why such an expression appeared on the fisherman’s face, the speedboats discovered Tang Long’s 50 landing craft. It was obvious that the speedboats paused suddenly, and then slowly leaned back with some hesitation. come over. At this moment, Tang Long discovered that those fishermen had already started fishing again, and the fishermen didn’t even look at these very conspicuous people.

The speedboat leaned forward and backward, a young man who was a little arrogant, but forced himself to lower his eyebrows. He looked at Tang Long and the others. Although his eyes lit up after seeing so many beautiful women, he quickly He lowered his eyes and asked Tang Long carefully, “Is that Mr. Tang Long?”

“I am.” Tang Long stepped forward and said.

“My subordinate soldier Peng Wenfeng belongs to the 023rd Squadron of the Haicheng Patrol Brigade, see the lord!” The young man raised his chest and saluted immediately after hearing Tang Long’s words. Those soldiers on the patrol boat who had been poking their brains, immediately jumped on the deck to salute Tang Long when they heard the words behind the commander.

“Master?” Tang Long was stunned for a moment, and only after Yuna’s reminder did he realize that the officials in his fief were his retainers. After knowing that these people were his subordinates, Tang Long pointed to the fishing boats and asked rudely: ” Well, you are in the patrol team, why are you interfering with the fishermen’s fishing?”

Peng Wenfeng was stunned for a moment, and then he raised his chest and said, “This subordinate is protecting the rights and interests of the lord!”

“My rights? What rights?” Tang Long wondered.

“Uh…” Peng Wenfeng gave Tang Long a careful look, then pointed to the modern fishing boat in the distance and said, “That is your fishing boat, Lord. In order not to let those pariahs and adults snatch the fish, so we……”

Tang Long roared angrily: “Fuck! I only got this fief today, and looking at your performance, doing these things doesn’t seem like a day or two. You also said that you won’t be allowed to snatch the fish. Are there fishermen and lords?”

Peng Wenfeng swallowed his saliva, and then said courageously: “There is such a difference, because the adults who own the fief can legally monopolize all the resources in the fief, and we have been taught to protect the rights and interests of the Tang family since we joined the Tang family. , and the rights and interests of the lord are the rights and interests of the Tang family.”

When Tang Long heard this, he asked in surprise: “You mean that the lord can snatch resources from the people?”

Peng Wenfeng glanced at Tang Long in surprise, then nodded.

At this time, the No. 2 star who had re-collected the data said to Tang Long: “Just now I invaded the main computer of the Tang family to find out. Most of the resources of Zhongzhou Star are in the hands of the Tang family’s patriarch and retainers, and only a very small part is in the hands of the Tang family. In the hands of the people. Ordinary people either rely on a few resources to live, or rely on the Tang family to live. The Tang family has a family soldier in the fief, in addition to 100 soldiers, there are hundreds of tenant farmers. Like on your fief , there are probably one million tenant farmers, and the remaining two million are semi-unemployed.”

Tang Long was speechless. How could he know that the family system of the Tang family was no different from the feudal system. He didn’t expect that a lord could not only occupy all the resources in the territory, but also have countless tenant farmers. Is this still the age of the universe? It’s like stepping back in time to the old farming era! I want so many tenant farmers for nothing! No tax increase!

How much money can such a territory and its people create for me? No matter how much money the lord has, there is no place for it. If the people are not rich, how can the tax increase? If the lord is allowed to monopolize the resources again, the tax revenue for the next year may not be able to buy even the lowest-level warship. no! I must change all this, at least one month’s tax can buy a battleship like the Meteor! And I don’t want to be a lord, I want this planet! If I don’t let the people get rich, how can the people support me?

In order to allow the tax revenue of his territory to buy warships, and to gain the support of the people, Tang Long made a decision. After thinking for a while, his eyes lit up and ordered Peng Wenfeng: “You immediately send orders to all the retainers and soldiers in my territory, and order them to gather at the Haicheng government immediately.” . When Tang Long’s female soldiers heard this, they immediately knew that Tang Long was going to do something big, and they rushed to the landing craft. After a while, 50 landing craft flew out of the atmosphere under Peng Wenfeng’s unsure eyes.

“Captain, you said that since the lord wants to gather the retainers and soldiers in the territory, why did he go into space?” A soldier who looked up at the departure of the landing craft asked strangely.

“He’s going to start a warship!” Peng Wenfeng shuddered when he thought of the cold light in Tang Long’s eyes when he left.

“Starting a warship? Why did he start a warship? Could it be that he wanted to destroy us? We didn’t offend him.” The soldier asked in surprise.

Peng Wenfeng shook his head and said, “It’s not likely to destroy us. After all, he has just become a lord, but it is very similar to launching a warship to demonstrate. Well, if you don’t want to die, just go and notify all the officials and soldiers to gather in Haicheng. The ghost knows if the lord is a murderous person, there are people in this age, don’t ask for trouble!” Said to be the first to enter the speedboat, the soldiers looked at each other, and hurriedly entered the speedboat. After a while, the speedboats flew away.

The city hall in the center of Haicheng was crowded with people inside and out. Inside the city hall were all retainers with the rank of family soldier or above, and outside were armed soldiers under the control of these retainers. Soldiers can also stand quietly in the square at the entrance of the city hall, while the retainers above the family soldier walk around the city hall, inquiring about each other’s news. However, these retainers were clearly divided into three groups.

Let’s talk about the Tang family’s system here. The Tang family’s retainers are divided into the family’s direct retainers and foreign retainers. Those who can participate in the meeting of the Council are all the family’s direct retainers, so the lowest-level family soldiers appear at the meeting. Only the vassals at the level of Jiaqu and above can have their own vassals directly under them. For example, those who sit around them in the conference hall are their immediate vassals.

Generally, family music can have 2 family members and 10 family soldiers at most, while family members can have up to 2 family members, 10 family members, and 50 family soldiers. Of course, if you can’t afford it, you can not have a retainer, but I believe No one would do this. After all, the number of retainers represents the strength of strength. As for the retainers above the family general, as long as he can afford them, he can have countless retainers. Generally, the family owner will not take care of it, because all the expenses are paid for by the masters of those retainers.

Why does Tang Long have so many retainers? Mainly because the original owners of his three cities had all died in battle, and the retainers who didn’t die had all become masterless retainers, and could only helplessly stay on the original fiefs. When the head of the family assigned these three cities to Tang Long, these people naturally became Tang Long’s direct retainers.

“You said that our new lord can assemble us. Why do you want to assemble all the soldiers? Isn’t it because he wants to add our soldiers to his direct troops?” A fat middle-aged man among the group of people The man touched his beard and asked the person beside him.

Hearing this, the 3dui retainers all shouted in panic: “No way? How can the lord do this?”

A middle-aged man with a thin chin shook his head and said, “It’s hard to say, you must know that the lord’s direct troops have already died in battle with the first lord, and now the lord’s direct troops do not exist at all, and who do not want soldiers from us? ”

An ordinary-looking middle-aged man said in puzzlement: “The new lord’s fiefs are three cities. Don’t the other two cities have the original city defense troops?”

The other two piles of retainers sighed at the same time when they heard this: “Our first lord’s direct troops also died in battle with the first master. Except for a few patrol boats, there are no direct troops.”

The fat man looked at the people around him and said in a low voice, “Why don’t we protest collectively, our soldiers are all trained by ourselves, so the lord is going to go, isn’t it…” Seeing everyone Looking at himself a little embarrassed, he couldn’t help but continue: “Anyway, what the lord wants is to establish his direct troops, we just need to help the lord to complete this task, I believe that the new lord will not embarrass us too much, right? After all, he is still the lord. We need to rule this area.” Hearing this, the retainers nodded in agreement, as long as the lord can be freed from his own soldiers, everything else is easy to say.

At this time, a young voice resounded through the entire council hall among the vassals in Haicheng: “I said, everyone, it seems that everyone has forgotten that although we are nominally the new lord’s direct vassals, in fact, the lord doesn’t know us at all. Don’t forget that the family rules stipulate that the lord can fire his immediate retainers. If he fires us all, our fiefs, soldiers, property and other things will disappear immediately.” It was Peng Wenfeng from the patrol who said this.

Although these retainers also had their own territories, they were not granted by the Tang family’s patriarch, but by their original lord, so Tang Long, who became their new lord, of course had the right to take back the fief.

The hearts of all the retainers jumped, yes, their future is still very slim, and they are actually planning how to calculate the master who can control their own life? Isn’t this looking for death?

Seeing the contemplative expressions on the faces of the retainers, the fat man couldn’t help but argue: “Expel us? Expel us, how does the lord manage this area?”

Peng Wenfeng sneered and said, “Don’t you read the Di Bao? The lord only got this fief after destroying 16 enemy ships, and it is said that the lord’s battleship is 2,650 meters long, 1,780 meters wide, 1,180 meters thick, and has 3,000 artillery guns. With such a battleship, are you afraid that there will be no retainers? Even if the lord does not use the soldiers on the warship, there are still a lot of people in these three cities who are willing to become the lord retainers? Why worry about no one managing the fiefs?”

Hearing this, all the retainers were silent. Everyone knows such a huge battleship, not to mention that the entire family does not have them, even the entire chaotic galaxy may not have a few. The lord who owns such a battleship can imagine that his future martial arts will definitely become more and more huge, and the reward will be more and more rich. If the Tang family occupies other planets, I am afraid that the lord’s fief will be a planet. Woolen cloth.

The retainers, who were all concerned with their own interests, immediately changed their minds and began to decide that if the lord proposed to establish a direct army, he would hand over all the soldiers under his command in order to give the lord a good impression. In this way, when the lord will divide the seal in the future, he will definitely be the first to think of himself!

Just when the retainers began to think about how to impress Tang Long, they suddenly realized that the surroundings were getting dark, and the soldiers who were quiet outside began to riot. Not knowing what was going on, they immediately ran out of the city hall. Looking up at the sky, everyone was stunned, because a huge battleship was suspended above the city hall, and the densely packed gun barrels at the bottom of the battleship were moving up and down, left and right irregularly.

Tang Nawen, who received the report that Tang Long drove the battleship into the territory, was stunned for a moment. After thinking for a while, he muttered with a smile: “It’s still too tender to use force to shock his retainers.” He waved his hand to let go. The defense officer stepped back and ignored the matter.
