Chapter 609: Upheaval at Dali Temple
It is late autumn now, and after the cotton is harvested, it is a good time to build roads.
Manpower is a big problem. In this era of backward labor force, if you want to build a 50-kilometer road, you know how long it will take and how many manpowers it will take.
Li Zheng fell into deep thought again. Building roads is indeed a very cost-effective business.
And it is likely to lose money.
It is difficult to do infrastructure madman, this is a giant beast to swallow gold.
I only have a million guan on hand, and the money is not enough.
Is it time to urge Songtsen Gampo if he owes five million?
Should the silver mines in Tubo be mined first?
Tubo is too turbulent now and causes many troubles.
Li Zheng sighed.
Looking out the window, the scenery in my yard.
Li Lizhi was patiently teaching Xiao Yizi to study.
When Li Zheng noticed the window of the study, he looked worried.
Leave the book to Xiao Yizi and let Xiao Yizi read it by herself. Li Lizhi picked up some snacks and went to the study.
"What are you thinking?" Li Lizhi asked in a low voice.
"I want to know money." Li Zheng said while eating snacks.
"Are you still short of money?" Li Lizhi said with a smile: "My mother also wrote a letter a few days ago, saying that the cost in the palace seemed to be getting nervous again."
"Send some specialties from our Jingyang to my mother-in-law." Li Zheng said.
Li Lizhi nodded and said, "The mother will definitely not collect money from the mother. I just give some things that need to be used for home use. I think the mother will not refuse. However, our family still has a million yuan in wealth and business is booming. Why do you still say you don't have money? How much money do you have to make enough?"
Li Zheng pointed to the map and said, "I plan to build another road."
Li Lizhi looked at the map, "Luoshui River?"
Li Zheng nodded, "Luo Water is a good river and will be of great use in the future."
Li Lizhi thought and said, "There are some gold and jade in the dowry given to me by my father. It should be enough to sell some of them tens of thousands of yuan."
"No matter how anxious you are, you can't move your dowry. I thought that if it is not enough, I still have a few silver mines on my hands."
Li Lizhi smiled and didn't say much.
Li Zheng was eating pastries and hesitating. It seemed that he had to hurry up to pacify Tubo, otherwise the silver mine would not be easy to mine.
Chang'an, three days later.
Xu Jingzong and Wang Ding met again, and the two decided on the way.
On the bustling Zhuque Street, Xu Jingzong came to Dali Temple again with a food box.
The officials from Dali Temple were very familiar with Xu Jingzong and they all greeted each other with smiles.
The official servants who lived with hardships and monthly salary were very enthusiastic when they met Xu Jingzong.
It is rare to meet a person who is generous and often invites everyone to be a big deal.
He came to the dungeon of Dali Temple with a chat and laughter with the officials here, and Xu Jingzong also met him.
After opening the door of the cell, the officers left.
Xu Jingzong put some dishes in front of his satisfied.
I was very happy to see Xu Jingzong coming, and I also saw some books in the package in Xu Jingzong's hand.
Seeing Xu Jingzong take out another pot of wine, he said with satisfaction: "I said I won't drink."
Xu Jingzong grinned and said, "This is prepared for me."
He nodded in satisfaction and picked up a bowl of millet and rice and started eating.
The other prisoners in the cell all cast envious eyes.
"Have you been doing well recently?" Xu Jingzong said while eating.
"Look at this place, what else can I do?" said Xu Xin helplessly.
After eating, Xu Jingzong packed up and left as before.
I was satisfied with cleaning up my cell.
Seeing that the cell was being cleaned up, the other prisoners in the cell cast disgusting eyes again.
The satisfactory prison cell is very unique throughout Dali Temple.
All the cells were dirty and messy, but Sussie would clean his own cells very well, and the satisfactory treatment was the best.
Because the rich man who has always been satisfied with bribing the officials here.
Everyone lives in such a dirty and messy cell, and they are a freak here.
Even rats don't want to go to a cell that they like.
When I opened the book that Xu Jingzong had just sent, I saw a note on the page.
What is written on it is about the arrangements for the future.
The food is not poisonous. This note is covered with poison powder. After eating this note, you will have severe abdominal pain and will be cured in two hours.
There is only such a short sentence on the note.
I felt as if the people around me didn't notice me, I ate the notes in one bite.
Within half an hour, I felt the severe pain like cramps in my abdomen.
He fell to the ground and moaned.
When the jailer saw the situation, he immediately came forward to investigate.
I felt so distressed that I felt cold sweat, and my pale face didn't look like I was pretending.
Seeing this, the prison head immediately went to report to the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.
Shuixin is a very special prisoner.
Although Dali Temple is very symmetrical and very careful about the major weapons case, it dares not neglect it.
The Shaoqing of Dali Temple is Dai Zhou's nephew, so he naturally knew the importance of satisfaction and immediately said, "Go and find a doctor to treat it."
The prison guard left quickly, seeing that his satisfaction was almost fainting from pain, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple said again: "No need to find him, take him to the clinic!"
"Here!" Several prisoners from Dali Temple left Dali Temple with satisfaction amid the cheers of a group of prisoners.
Shaoqing of Dali Temple saw the leftover food on the side and whispered: "Let's see if the food is poisoned."
Could it be that Xu Jingzong wanted to kill someone to silence him? Only Xu Jingzong has always been pleased to visit him.
As the Shaoqing of Dali Temple thought so, he hurriedly left Dali Temple and said to the escort yamen: "Go and tell Mr. Changsun."
"Here!"
After the person was sent to the clinic, the official from Dali Temple surrounded the clinic.
Changsun Chong, who was at home, knew something was wrong, and immediately left the house and followed the yamen to leave the house and asked along the way.
"Why is this happening when you look sociable?"
"I don't know whether I know about it. At first, Xu Jingzong came to visit Xingxin, but he just invited Xingxin to have a meal and it was like that."
"Med food is poisonous?"
"Shaoqing has arranged someone to investigate, and it should be a result soon."
Changsun Chong accelerated his pace and was a little excited and worried, Xu Jingzong?
This sudden change seems to have brought a turning point to the case.
As soon as he arrived at the clinic, Changsun Chong was stunned again. The entire clinic was in a mess, and thick smoke was floating out, and the clinic was on fire.
People from Dali Temple and passers-by are putting out the fire.
Changsun asked on the spot: "What's going on?"
Several yamen servants from Dali Temple said in a panic: "We don't know what's going on. As soon as the person was sent in, the doctor was treating the disease. In a flash of consciousness, the Tubo fired.
Changsun Chong was about to rush in, but was forced out by the fire in the clinic, "Where is the person!"
Several yamen servants from Dali Temple knelt on the ground.
Chapter completed!
