After the immortal disappeared

When He Lingchuan built the official residence of Youhu Villa, he could also remove some bluestones from abandoned villas elsewhere for emergency use. But the Panjin Stone is not something that can be obtained casually, and there is no place to dismantle the old one - otherwise, why would He Lingchuan have his mind set on the Xilin Temple.

Zhang Yan coughed and said reluctantly: "In a few months, the new city will also build a temple. At the speed of this project, the temple can be occupied in six months and completed in one and a half years. I think, Liang The boss shouldn’t have any big objections.”

"Ah, yes." The people at the table also responded reluctantly.

How can they find out what kind of mentality Master Liang has? But a year or two ago, Yaoguo would never have done this.

In fact, there are a few people in the know who know that this is the price of the rapid progress of the project.

He Lingchuan repeatedly urged King Yao to speed up the renovation of the palace and concentrate efforts on the large-scale eastward expansion project of Tianshui to give priority to the construction.

Keep mentioning and urging, and King Yao naturally became anxious.

King Yao's renovation of Youhu Palace is indeed a gesture, allowing the people of Tianshui City to buy houses and land in the new city with peace of mind, which is a positive signal; and building a temple in the old city, no matter which god it belongs to, will not This effect?

Which one is more serious? The scale in Yao Wang's heart has tilted.

At that time, the news of Tianshui's eastward expansion had spread a lot, and the renovation of King Yao's palace was imminent. Many people were staring at it with wide eyes.

King Yao could only make this decision.

But he didn't want to offend the gods anymore, so he quickly asked someone to make a new plan and send it to Ambassador Liang, claiming that he would build ten more temples for Miao Zhantian in the new city of Tianshui, ensuring that they would be spacious and magnificent.

He Lingchuan didn't know what expression Commander Liang would have on his face when he got the plan, and how he would react to King Yao's delaying strategy. But he still remembered that King Yao had promised that the temple, which had been delayed for two and a half years, would be built within five to six months.

Alas, there are too many unclear and unclear things in such a large project.

By the time He Lingchuan walked back to the wine shop, the topic had switched back to romance.

Zhang Yan saw him coming in and said, "We were just talking about the fourth prince. I heard that he did a good job in the eastern suburbs?"

"Be conscientious and diligent, be down-to-earth and work hard." As a strong contender for the throne of King Yao, Wang Zirui's performance in the eastward expansion project of the capital is indeed remarkable, and he did not reflect the indolence of the royal family in front of He Lingchuan. "But his recent health has Not right, I took sick leave five days ago and went back to the palace to recuperate.”

The fourth prince asked for sick leave, how could He Lingchuan not approve it?

He asked Zhang Yan: "How is the fourth prince recovering?"

Zhang Yan shook his head: "I had vomiting and diarrhea for five hours after returning to the palace from the eastern suburbs."

He Lingchuan's face changed color: "Did you catch the disease in my project?"

The large construction site in the eastern suburbs is very dusty, and the people working there are all kinds of people. Who knows if they have good hygiene habits and whether they have any diseases? Some workers are too lazy to run far away when they go to the big hall, so they find a corner with a backside and squat in the sun.

Therefore, the air quality in the eastern suburbs has never been very good.

But if Wang Zirui contracted the disease at the construction site, why didn't You Rong mention it later?

Zhang Yan coughed lightly and said, "The imperial doctor discovered that the fourth prince had a bad stomach after eating in the palace, and there was something wrong with the food he used."

He Lingchuan let out a long sigh, it turned out that it was none of his business.

Yu Wenxu asked curiously: "Four or five days ago? Hey, is it because of this that Mr. Zheng Da Zheng was reprimanded by the king?"

He Lingchuan caught a strange name: "Master Zheng?"

"Master Zheng is the Chief of the Imperial Guards and is responsible for the dispatch and arrangement of the Imperial Guards."

In the Yao Kingdom, Tingwei and Tingweijian were two different things. Tingwei is responsible for the investigation of public cases and also hears difficult and miscellaneous cases reported by local authorities.

This position sounded familiar to He Lingchuan: "There seems to be more than one person, Ting Wei, Supervisor and Secretary, right?"

"Yes, the other one is Bai Hengbo, who has been in Tingwei Prison for many years. He was just promoted to Secretary General more than a month ago. He is the nephew of the old General Bai Tan."

He Lingchuan remembered that Bai Tan had approached him overnight to buy the Toupai Jingshe in Youhu Villa.

At that time, King Yao and Qingyang were fighting fiercely, and they urgently needed to set an example of someone who could benefit from taking sides, so the next day, Bai Tan's nephew was promoted. However, it seems that this guy is well-deserved. He has all the qualifications, prestige and connections in the palace, but he lacks this common sense.

Zhang Yan then said: "The fourth prince continued to have vomiting and diarrhea, and the imperial doctor confirmed that the food was poisonous. After the king's investigation, he found out that the milk in the imperial dining room accidentally ran out that day, and there was another milk and vanilla soft cake on the fourth prince's meal list, so the dining room was temporarily Purchasing milk from outside for production did not comply with the palace's "two inspections and one inspection" regulations, so the person in charge of the kitchen was sentenced. "

Oh, it turns out that Yaoting's food safety control also has loopholes. He Lingchuan asked curiously: "Then what does this have to do with Mr. Zheng?"

"That's his cousin, who recommended it back then. Now if something happens, he will be jointly and severally responsible. Besides, the milk was delivered directly to the dining room by an outsider, and it was not intercepted all the way. This is not in compliance with the regulations."

"I see. But Mr. Zheng was only scolded, right?"

"Yes, his cousin was severely punished. Mr. Zheng was scolded by the king and fined a month's salary."

"This is no small matter." When it comes to the safety of the palace, Mr. Zheng was indeed negligent.

After talking about this trivial matter, everyone mentioned the expansion of the capital. Zhang Yan coughed lightly: "That kid Qi Shuan, you've been making a lot of money this month!"

Nowadays, people in Tianshui City are rushing to buy residential land in Xincheng. If they can't raise enough money, they have to find a way.

Loan sharking is one of the ways.

He Lingchuan was about to ask: "How much is the interest now?"

"It is said that it is almost 8% interest."

8% interest, the annual interest is close to 100%. The land price purchased cannot be repaid unless it doubles.

Now it has been more than a month since Tianshui City began to expand eastward.

"Qi Shuan told me that there was another family who asked him to borrow 300,000 taels yesterday. You can never guess who it is!"

Everyone urged him not to be a riddler. Zhang Shan then said softly:

"It is the head of the Baihe Lu family, Lu Yuanzheng."

Everyone exclaimed, unbelievable: "No way? The Lu family also has to borrow money to buy houses and land?"

He Lingchuan heard the name "Lu Yuanzheng" and his heart moved. Isn't this...

Sure enough, Zhang Shan pointed at him and said, "The Lu family bought the second row of houses in Youhu Villa in Chibao a few days ago. Brother He should still remember the price, right?"

He Lingchuan didn't have to think too much. He just had to say the number reported by the Soul Mirror: "390,000 taels."

"Good memory!" Zhang Shan said, "I guess his family has no cash and wants to buy some residential land in the new city, so he borrowed money from Qi Shuan."

More than 300 million yuan, a wealthy family can't just take it out casually. He Lingchuan said, "The Lu family was seriously injured after buying the residential land, which shows that its family background is not strong enough."

Except Fan Shuang, which family here would be short of money?

"Brother He is very good at seeing things." Gu Xuan nodded. "The ancestors of the Lu family were great and left a great foundation, but the Lu family has been mediocre for several generations and can only live off their family assets, which of course means they are getting less and less. The eldest Lu managed the warehouses under the governor of the warehouse department, and the second Lu just took over the franchise a few years ago and did business with Luodian in the north. But he had no experience and messed up the job, and Luodian made a lot of money. My king was furious and demoted him to a small official in the west."

"On the third day after the Lu family bought Youhu Villa, my king ordered the second Lu to return to the capital. Although he was not reinstated, it seems that he can still find a future."

Three hundred and seventy thousand taels is still very powerful.

Jing Yuanxun added: "Officials and businessmen from all over the country are now moving after hearing the news. Even if they don't come themselves, they have to ask someone to come to Tianshui City to get a few plots of land in the new city and wait for the opportunity to increase. I have received news that for every ten plots of land in the new city sold, two and a half plots are bought by outsiders."

If there is any business in the world that is guaranteed to make money, then everyone will flock to it.

Tianshui City itself is the richest place in Shanjin, which is attractive to everyone. The land price in the new city has risen so fiercely, it will become a bottomless pit, siphoning funds and personnel from the surrounding areas.

This madness will spread from Tianshui City to all directions. The territory of Yao State itself is not large, and the celebrities and dignitaries from other places who come to enter are only a beat slower than the locals.

Gu Xuan nodded: "Yes, the land in Shanghu District is limited and has almost been sold out. Those who enter the market later will not be able to grab such a good location. Tsk tsk, the land in Shanghu District is really priced every day."

"A price every day? How can it be so slow!" Yuwen Xu shook his head, "The price jumps every few hours, which is outrageous."

Even nobles like them think it's outrageous, which shows that people are chasing after the land in Shanghu District.

The Soul Mirror laughed and said: "You are really lucky in wealth. The land you buy is rising wildly. The seven plots of land are now sold at a price that ordinary people can't spend in several lifetimes. Otherwise, let's buy a few more?"

He Lingchuan smiled slightly.

Do you really think he is buying casually?

He never buys casually!

He built the core of the core of the new city-Youhu Villa, of course he knows which plots are the most valuable.

First-hand information is an advantage and a source of money.

But Jingzi was right. In a few days, he would sell those plots of land. He couldn't let them fall on his hands.

And the one who could take over this from him would not be an ordinary person.

Then everyone chatted about some gossips. When they heard the sound of rain outside, they hurried home.

When He Lingchuan returned to Yongquan Villa, it was already raining heavily. He got off the carriage, and the guards also went to their own residences to wash off the dust and mud.

...

The night was getting darker.

He Lingchuan changed his clothes and just sat down in the study. Suddenly, he heard the rustling of branches and leaves outside. Something moved over, and then there were two squeaks.

It was the cry of a monkey, but it was different from Lingguang.

He Lingchuan looked up and happened to see a fat monkey coming in through the window and landing on the spacious sandalwood table.

Dong, so heavy.

It was holding a bulging pomegranate in its arms, but it grinned and stretched out its hand to He Lingchuan.

Who else could be so carefree but the ghost ape?
