Tales of Soldier - Chapter 122

[Chapter 122 (Part 1)]

Tang Long’s frightened retainers lined up at the entrance of the City Hall according to their rank as they watched the muzzles of their guns aimed at themselves from time to time while wiping cold sweat. The panic-stricken soldiers were seeing the actions of the adults, and they knew from the mouths of the talkative patrol boat soldiers that the terrifying battleship above their heads belonged to their lord, so they quickly regained their composure and put on a serious expression. He stood motionless with his chest up. If they hope to be favored by the lord and promote themselves to become retainers, then they will be happy in the future.

The vassals who had lived through the years finally waited until the bottom compartment of the battleship was opened. Under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, hundreds of black shadows with blue flames spraying their feet slowly descended.

When they saw these hundreds of mecha warriors, all 2 or 3 meters tall, wearing metal mechas and carrying large-caliber thickened cannons, everyone was stunned again. They are in the chaos-free galaxy, and at the same time they are in the poor Tang family, they have never seen the latest individual soldier equipment in this universe. But even if an idiot sees such a shocking mecha, he can understand in an instant that these few hundred people alone can kill tens of thousands of people present.

Of course, everyone knew that this was the armament of their lord and lord. After thinking of this, all anxiety disappeared. The retainer thought in his heart: “The lord not only has the most powerful warship, but also such a powerful individual weapon. The strength of the lord is definitely the number one in the Tang family! Following such a lord, the future is definitely bright, let’s do it!”

The soldiers looked at these mechas with envy, wondering if the lord would equip the army of the entire territory with these weapons? But remembering the family’s practice, I believe that these weapons can only be equipped in the lord’s direct troops, right? I am afraid that the soldiers of the lord’s retainers will not be able to touch them. Thinking of this, I felt a little lost in my heart, but the soldiers quickly remembered that the lord did not have a direct subordinate army, and believed that the direct subordinate army would be re-established soon. If he behaves well, the lord may go with the lord. In an instant, the mental outlook of the soldiers has reached a new level, and the soldiers have shown their best side.

A mecha warrior standing in front of hundreds of mecha warriors took a step forward and took off his helmet, and a handsome young man with black hair appeared in front of the retainers. The retainers who had seen Tang Long’s face in the newspapers for a long time immediately fell to the ground and shouted respectfully, “See your lord!” And the soldiers who could see Tang Long’s face, but could see the retainer’s movements, immediately Kneeling down on one knee and shouting, “See the Lord!”

Tang Long, who had never been kneeled before, was a little uncomfortable, but he still endured the discomfort because he didn’t want to lose face in front of his subordinates. So he nodded solemnly and said, “Get up.”

Tang Long’s voice has long been connected to the loudspeaker of the battleship by No. 2 Star Zero, so not only people in the entire square can hear it, but also people in a radius of 20 kilometers.

Tang Long didn’t bother to look at these retainers who got up after thanking them, but said to himself, “Peng Wenfeng, are all the officials and soldiers in my territory ready?”

Hearing Tang Long’s first sentence, he was called Peng Wenfeng, and all the retainers stared at Peng Wenfeng who stepped out with jealous eyes. And because Tang Long’s words could be heard by everyone, all the soldiers directly under Peng Wenfeng were proud to show off to the soldiers around him.

Peng Wenfeng kneeled on one knee and replied respectfully, “Report to the lord, all 233 retainers and 45,200 soldiers are here.”

Although Tang Long wondered why there were so many retainers, he still nodded to signal Peng Wenfeng to step back, then Tang Long glanced at everyone and said coldly, “Everyone listen to Lao Tzu, on this fief, Lao Tzu is the Your boss! You have to do whatever I ask you to do. You must not discount the orders given to me! Those who disobey Laozi’s orders will have nothing but death! If you don’t want to do it, give it to me now! ”

The retainers did not expect Tang Long to be so gentle and handsome, but what he said was so rude, he was simply a super big bandit. And the first sentence you met with the retainer said such a mean content, are you not afraid that the retainer will turn against you? Although the retainers thought so, but seeing the thickened hand cannons in the hands of the mecha warriors and the thousands of cannons on the battleships overhead, all the retainers swallowed and shrank their necks. If these people dare to oppose it, I am afraid that there will be a burst of artillery fire from above, right?

Tang Long saw that no one was chattering and continued: “Since there is no one who wants to quit, that’s good. I will shoot you for committing crimes in the future. Don’t say that I will punish you for not teaching me.” It’s all a jump. It seems that you have to think carefully about what you do in the future before you can do it.

Seeing that the retainers were all bowing their heads in cold sweat, Tang Long knew that the purpose of the demonstration had been achieved, so he waved his hand, smiled and said in a kind tone: “Okay, now let’s have a meeting, everyone sit down.” Said He sat cross-legged at the gate of City Hall. Fortunately, this mecha is very flexible, otherwise Tang Long might not be able to sit down.

Everyone was stunned when they heard Tang Long’s words. Are you having a meeting outside here? But seeing that Tang Long had already sat down, the retainers had to sit on the ground frowning. It was the first time that the retainers got their butts dirty. The soldiers didn’t have so many concerns. After Tang Long’s order was issued, they sat cross-legged like Tang Long. They were all very excited, but they didn’t expect to have the opportunity to attend a meeting that only retainers could attend.

The battleship in the sky also blocked the sun under Tang Long’s gesture, leaving this area in the shade. And those people who heard Tang Long’s voice also crowded here curiously. In a short while, the city hall was crowded with people. But I don’t know if these people are of better quality, or if they are afraid of being bullied by those retainers, there are so many people around and there is no sound.

Although the retainers felt that they were being stared at like monkeys by so many pariahs, they felt uncomfortable and wanted to give Tang Long an opinion. But thinking that any orders Tang Long said just now can’t be discounted, and I don’t know how he will be treated if he raises objections, so he can only still suffer from that uncomfortable feeling.

Tang Long is the kind of character that gets excited when there are more people, so he doesn’t feel uncomfortable at all, but feels good. Although those female soldiers were not used to being stared at by so many people, but because they wore helmets, they had a protective cover on their hearts, so they could safely protect Tang Long.

“Who is in charge of finances?” Tang Long asked kindly.

The retainers looked at each other, then shook their heads. The fat man sitting in the front row raised his body a little, then bent down and said, “My lord, we are each responsible for our own fiefs, so there is no unified financial person in charge.”

“Huh? Who manages my pastures, fish farms, factories, etc.?” Tang Long asked again after being stunned for a moment.

This time the retainers bowed their heads, and the fat man still replied: “My lord, the retainers who were in charge of managing the private property of these lords have already died on the battlefield with the original lord.”

Tang Long nodded and said, “Okay, since no one is in charge of the territorial finances, let me appoint one.” Hearing Tang Long’s words, all the retainers raised their heads excitedly, hoping that Tang Long could appoint himself.

“Yuna, all the finances of the territory will be handed over to you in the future.” Tang Long turned his head and said to a mecha warrior. This was discussed by Tang Long and the female soldiers early in the morning.

Hearing this, the retainers’ hearts immediately cooled down. It turned out that the lord was going to appoint his cronies. Tang Long didn’t care so much about the psychology of his retainers. In the future, his own life blood vessel — finances, would still have to be held by his own people in such an important position.

The mecha warrior took off his helmet and came to Tang Long and nodded and said, “As per your order… lord.” Yuna had planned to call him a superior, but she did as the locals did, and she also started to call her lord Tang Long.

And No. 2 Xingling used the projector on the battleship to broadcast Yuna’s image to the sky. When the retainers, soldiers, and people saw that the person in charge of the territory’s finances was actually a beautiful woman, they couldn’t help but burst into an uproar. The retainers stood up and prepared to protest, but Tang Long snorted coldly, the muzzles of the mecha warriors immediately aimed at the crowd, and the muzzles of the sky battleship also began to charge energy.

“Hmph, have you forgotten what I said just now? Lao Tzu is the boss of this territory, I can do whatever I want. Do you have any opinion on Lao Tzu’s appointment?” Tang Long stared viciously at these retainers who stood up.

Seeing the muzzle that was already glowing, the retainers immediately shrunk their heads and sat down. The soldiers were in an uproar because they were only surprised. In fact, who the lord appointed was the lord’s family business, and he couldn’t control it, so when he saw the lord getting angry, he immediately calmed down. And those who were just watching the excitement shut up immediately after seeing the threat of those warships, and the timid ones were already preparing to go home.

“Listen to me, I don’t matter if he is a man or a woman, whether he is a retainer or a commoner, as long as I have the ability, I will do it for him, and if I don’t have the ability, get out of my way!” After Tang Long said this to everyone , continued to say to the retainers: “Wen Tao, you two will serve as Yuna’s deputy, and you must do your best to assist Yuna!”

The two young retainers whose names were read were a little puzzled and very flattered and climbed out to thank them. They didn’t know why the lord who had never met would know their names and know that they had a lot of money. In fact, this is all due to No. 2’s star. She walked around the territory of Tang Long’s retainers to know who has what kind of ability. The territorial income of these two retainers is the highest among all retainers. If you don’t get them to help, who will you get?

“In order not to let some retainers have selfishness and pay special attention to their own territory when building the territory, I decided to take back the management rights of all retainers.” Tang Long finished speaking, and all retainers jumped up immediately. be opposed to.

Annoyed, Tang Long raised his gun and shot a big hole on the floor, and then shouted at the stunned retainers: “Shut up your beaks! In the future, anyone who interrupts before Lao Tzu’s words are finished will be shot! I’ll sit down!” Tang Long’s actions made everyone understand that this new lord was a moody and powerful figure.

Although the retainers sat down reluctantly, they all looked at Tang Long with hatred. No matter what Tang Long decided, they would not object, but they would definitely rebel if they took back their territory!

“Humph! Don’t you hear clearly? I mean to take back the management rights of your territory, which means that you don’t have to manage the territory, and the profits of the territory will still go into your pockets. If you think it’s bad, stand up.” Tang Long Leng Said coldly, after seeing a few idiot retainers about to move, Tang Long added another sentence: “I will expel him!” No retainer dared to move after saying this.

The retainers who heard Tang Long’s words clearly this time are not stupid, and they quickly thought of the benefits of unified management of the territory. In this way, you don’t have to invest in your own territory, you can make the territory grow and develop. Instead of spending, you will continue to increase your income. How can you object to such a good thing without hearing it clearly? After thinking about this, the retainer immediately agreed with a smile on his face.

In fact, the retainers did not expect that this policy of directly turning the income of their fiefs into money to give them would make them completely lose control of the fiefs, that is, no fiefs at all.

“Wen Tao, how much is the tax on the territory? How much is the tenant’s salary?” Tang Long asked the young man standing beside Yuna.

“Lord, the tax on the territory is generally 20%, and the wages of the tenant farmers are determined by each lord. The subordinate tenant farmers’ wages are 100 Wulai coins per month.” Wen Tao replied respectfully.

“Hmph, 20% of the tax is only received so much, it’s useless to adjust it so high.” Tang Long said so, but the tax is unified for the entire planet, and Tang Long didn’t want to risk being scolded by the owner to force it. Lower taxes. So he ordered: “Where 100 yuan per month is enough, Yuna, in the future, the salary of the tenant farmers will be adjusted to 300 Wulai coins per month.” Yuna, who was discussing future financial plans with her deputy, heard Tang Long’s words. Busy to obey.

Hearing Tang Long’s words, the retainers did not speak, because the tenant farmers were already managed in a unified way, and the salaries were paid by the lord. Since they don’t need their own money, they can give as much as the lord likes. And those soldiers and the people onlookers cheered immediately. Many of the soldiers’ families and these people were tenant farmers. In fact, the salary of 100 Wulai Coins given by Wen Tao is very high in the whole planet. Now that it has suddenly tripled, why not let them die of euphoria?

“Next, I will appoint the heads of the various departments. Elsie manages the construction of the territorial facilities, Ling Li is responsible for the planning of the territory, and Li Wu is responsible for the administration of the territory.” Two great lieutenants in their respective fields. There was a shocking crowd, who was still very surprised after seeing the three responsible persons. I didn’t expect that the lord’s cronies were all beautiful women.

After making these appointments, Tang Long said with a smile: “By the way, I don’t seem to have any direct troops yet?”

Tang Long also said to himself: “Very good, I will accept it all. By the way, in order to reduce your burden, the retainers will no longer have to bear the salaries of your direct troops, which means that the retainers will no longer have direct subordinates in the future. force.”

Hearing this, those retainers who were full of joy and thought they didn’t need to worry about the salaries of the troops in the future, but were ready to return to the fief to recruit troops later, were all stunned. No need to have direct troops anymore? Wouldn’t that deprive him of his military power? The retainers wanted to protest, but when they saw Tang Long looking at him grimly, they could only swallow their saliva and bow their heads in submission. Except for a very small number of ambitious retainers, most retainers believe that having soldiers or not is almost the same. Anyway, before they had so few troops, they couldn’t fight on the battlefield.
