"What discovery?" Zhu Yuanfang's eyes lit up, and he instantly came to his senses.

The emperor is concerned about this case, Zhu Yuanfang is also in the inter-ministerial joint investigation, the first time to play such an important role, excited, but also feel like a mountain of pressure, seeing that the deadline is approaching day by day, it can be said that it is not good to eat, not to sleep well, just three days, the whole person has lost a circle, and finally waited for good news, naturally very excited.

Li Xian said: "Earlier, we summarized the case into a case investigation, and spent our energy on the interpersonal relationships between the victims, which distracted our energy and wasted time, but fortunately, Li Shilang proposed to treat each victim as a separate case and set up different task forces to be responsible, which is obviously a lot simpler, one of the victims, remember to take the braised meat home, rested in a teahouse, and it was also the only time that the bag of braised meat left his sight, it can be confirmed that there is a problem with the teahouse, coincidentally, A tea doctor in charge of making tea in that teahouse took leave to go home that day, and sent someone to secretly understand that the address that the tea doctor told the owner was fake, and there was a problem with his identity, and he was lucky, the whereabouts of the tea doctor had been locked by secret agents, and someone had sent someone to lay a net, and I believe that there would be good news soon. ”

Zhu Yuanfang was overjoyed when he heard this, but he said with some caution: "There is a possibility that someone will do it on the way home,?? Can't you rule out that you will have people do it when you go home, can you rule out this possibility? ”

It is Zhu Yuanfang's habit to make bold assumptions and carefully verify them, even if Li Xian is right, Zhu Yuanfang is not carried away by the good news.

"Ruled out" Li Xian nodded and said: "The bitter master has three and a half children, and they all say that half the size eats the poor old man, and the bag of braised pork just mentioned that the three boys rushed to eat it, and outsiders are too late to do it, that is to say, the tea doctor who asked for leave is very suspicious, of course, everyone in the teahouse, including the guests who had the opportunity to start that day, are disgusted, and now they are under our close surveillance." ”

Zhu Yuanfang stood up suddenly: "Li Zhaoyin, let's go and have a look." ”

Finally there is a breakthrough, where can Zhu Yuanfang sit still, he immediately went to investigate and command, and strive to solve the case as soon as possible.

Not long after, a large group of heavily armed catchers rushed out of Jingzhao Mansion and dispersed in all directions.

The case of braised botulinium poisoning and the attack on the prince's mansion, these two cases stirred Chang'an, under the weight of the deadline, the criminal investigators of the criminal department and the officials of Jingzhao Mansion quickly made Chang'an a chicken and a dog, however, Zheng Pengneng, who was stationed at the road construction site, stayed out of the matter and put all his mind on the road repair.

A tunnel about a mile long had to be excavated.

Tiger Roaring Ridge is located about fifty miles east of Chang'an, it is said that the tiger has been haunted in the past, often hear the tiger roar here and get the name, the mountain is about 20 zhang high, the shape is a little strange, the two sides are long and narrow in the middle, just block the Changluo Road built by Zheng Peng, the detour road should go nearly 30 miles more, the workload of blowing up the mountain is too great, after careful consideration, the tunnel is the most suitable, the amount of work is too large, Fang Bin is a little undecided, please Zheng Peng come to sit in the formation.

"Young Master" Fang Bin asked Zheng Peng to the foot of the Tiger Roaring Mountain, pointed to the place in front of the marking, and said: "It's all ready, ready to start digging from here, in order to save man-hours and speed up the progress of the project, start construction from the other side of the mountain at the same time, as long as both sides are dug through, the tunnel can be completed." ”

"Two-way construction? This method is good" Zheng Peng couldn't help but ask: "Team Leader Fang, what is your way to confirm that the tunnels dug on both sides can be dug through, if one side is deep and the other side is shallow, or the direction is wrong, and the two tunnels cannot be connected, what should I do?" ”

The tunnel is about a mile long, and it is also a big project in later generations, and it is a huge project in the technologically backward Datang, with no level and no laser direction guidance, what if the direction is wrong?

In the case of the sea dial, if the two sides of the sea are a few meters apart, the excavated tunnels are difficult to communicate, and the direction of the excavation is slightly deviated, and many problems may occur.

Fang Bin said with a relaxed face: "Make sure that the tunnels on both sides are in the same position, the process is a little troublesome, but it is not difficult, first use the compass to locate to ensure that the tunnels on both sides are in the same direction, and then confirm the height and position of the tunnel on one side, and then pull all the way around the mountain by pulling the line, set up a pile every three zhang, and put a small sink at the bottom of each pile head pull line, and the small sink has a flat carved line at both ends, as long as the level inside is the same as the engraved line, that is, the height is the same, so You can ensure that the height of both sides is consistent, when digging a tunnel, you can use a compass and an arrow tower to confirm the direction, young master, you also know that the compass sometimes fails, set up a fixed arrow tower, through the method of shooting crossbow arrows at a short distance, it can also be more positive direction, of course, the arrow tower and the crossbow arrows used are special, and there is a large distance from the battlefield, and the accuracy is much more accurate. ”

Fang Bin, who explained, said it lightly, and Zheng Peng, who listened, was a little stunned.

I thought that digging such a complex tunnel, Fang Bin and the others were helpless, and saying a little method and direction by himself would cause him to worship madly, but he didn't expect Fang Bin to solve the problem.

At the very least, the preparation was completed ahead of schedule.

Zheng Peng wiped his nose and said with a wry smile: "Team Leader Fang is ready, in fact, there is no need for me to come here." ”

Well, Datang is the most powerful and prosperous country in the world at present, and the people who can enter the Ministry of Industry are all industry elites, Fang Bin, as a technical backbone, has done a lot of things like opening mountains and reclamation, digging rivers and repairing canals, and a tunnel will definitely not be difficult for him, Zheng Peng secretly comforted himself: This time he can't pretend to be B, which means that he has capable people under his hands.

Fang Bin said a little embarrassed: "Young master, such a big project, the small ones don't dare to make their own decisions, and if there are some difficulties, they have to find the young master to solve them." ”

"Difficult? What difficulty? Zheng Peng said with some surprise.

"There is a shortage of tools, especially to dig tunnels, which requires a large number of iron tools, and the supply of clothes, vehicles, grain and grass, as well as the wages for hiring craftsmen, these are all problems" Fang Bin said with some embarrassment: "Young master, where is the deadline, if the logistics supply is not available, it will be difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice." ”

Zheng Peng finally understood the reason why Fang Bin was in a hurry to find himself, there was no problem with technology, but there was a problem with logistics.

"Second butler, what's going on?" Zheng Peng frowned, turned his head and questioned Cui Er.

It happened that Cui Er was also at the construction site, and Zheng Peng asked what was going on the spot.

Cui Er is not only his second housekeeper, but also responsible for the finances and logistics of the Changluo Headquarters, listening to Fang Bin's meaning, it seems that the basic supply of the construction site cannot be maintained.

dropped the chain at a critical moment, unlike Cui Er's style.

Cui Er motioned for Zheng Peng to step aside, and said with a wry smile, "Uncle, Team Leader Fang is right, the account has been a little nervous recently, and the old slave is already thinking of a way." ”

Zheng Peng frowned and said, "The family's cash is not much, why, Huang San's money hasn't arrived yet?" ”

"The money arrived in half a month, but now it's used for seventy-seven eighty-eight, don't hide it from the young master, the little one is still in the young lady's private treasury, and 800,000 yuan has been embezzled, but this money is a drop in the bucket, Team Leader Fang is a clever woman who can't cook without rice, and the old slave can't turn stones into gold."

"What? This money is being spent so quickly? Zheng Peng said in surprise.

During the war, the family expenses were not large, although it was used a lot to reward, pacify and pay for the souls of the fallen soldiers to return to their hometowns, but the money was still saved a lot, plus the capture of the battlefield, before the road was built, not counting the working capital of the Three Treasures and the winery, there were more than 7 million yuan in cash, and the official road was only a little more than three months, and the money was in a hurry?

Cui Er complained bitterly: "Young master, you don't know the price of firewood and rice, buy land, buy sand and gravel, buy tools, buy slaves, pay wages, etc., which doesn't cost money, road construction, mining and iron smelting, the number of people adds up to nearly 3,000 people, and there are more than 500 horses. ”

After a pause, Cui Er continued: "The biggest expense is to buy land, and the road construction has only reached the second phase, but Li Linfu has already completed the eighth phase, and has just sent someone to pay the land acquisition money for the ninth and tenth phases. ”

Zheng Peng gasped: "In this way, this money really hasn't been spent." ”

In some places, it is not as big as the road is collected, just take Huxiaoling as an example, although a tunnel does not occupy much space, but if you want to dig, people will not calculate according to the area occupied by the tunnel, and you have to buy the whole mountain as soon as you buy it, which is not cheap.

Seeing that Zheng Peng was a little worried, Cui Er said thoughtfully: "Uncle, don't worry, Miss has prepared a million yuan, which can be called in the near future, and said that husband and wife should not divide each other, and it is useless to leave the money, it is better to let my uncle take it to do real things, by the way, a batch of surplus things have also been counted in the warehouse, which can be exchanged for a large sum of money, which can solve the urgent need." ”

"Hehe, I didn't expect that I, Zheng Peng, would also sell it to get by." Zheng Peng said helplessly.

Originally, life was extremely rich, and the money could not be spent if he wanted to, Zheng Peng felt that he was extremely rich, but he really wanted to build a road alone and immediately return to his original shape.

A person is so insignificant compared to the state apparatus.

"Uncle, this is already very remarkable, looking at the Tang Dynasty, whether it is a famous family or a relative of the emperor, who has such courage as an uncle? Thinking about the Taiyuan Wang family back then, I wanted to build a road to the ancestral tomb, that is, more than 50 miles, or only a mountain road with two carriages, and it took five years to raise funds to start construction. ”

Zheng Peng just smiled, thought about it, and said: "It's not easy to dig a tunnel, Fang Bin is a craftsman, let him work, but let him even eat, drink, and Lazar, it is estimated that he can't be even, find someone to manage here, Fang Bin is responsible for the work, and find someone else to manage the logistics." ”

"Understood, uncle."

"By the way, the problem Fang Bin raised just now, find a way to solve it immediately."

When it came to money, Cui Er said with some embarrassment: "Uncle, can you delay it for a few days, Miss's money needs to be mobilized, that is, to realize things, it also takes time, there is a sum of money in the account, but it has to be paid to the Ministry of War, and it is time to settle the wages for those Tubo prisoners of war." ”

The Ministry of War is a partner, and it is also a colleague of the uncle, and now the cooperation is very pleasant, the uncle can get a large number of incomparably cheap strength, and the Ministry of War does not need to take money to support these prisoners, and there is also a money subsidy, which can be said to be the best of both worlds, Cui Er is also happy to get the money, as for Fang Bin and the slaves, the treatment is almost good, and it can be passed if it is strong.

Zheng Peng thought about it when he heard this, and quickly said: "Don't settle the salary first, I'll go to the military department to talk about it." ”

The money obtained by the Ministry of War is also entered into the public account, and the money is not their own, so it doesn't matter if they give it later, but many craftsmen at the road construction site point to the salary to support their families, and this money cannot be delayed, maybe if it is delayed, it will not be able to keep people.

"Understood, uncle." Cui Er has always been respectful to Zheng Peng, and as soon as Zheng Peng spoke, he immediately replied.

Miss Lu Shu had already said that Zheng Peng's words were her words, and even if she and Zheng Peng gave orders at the same time, they would give priority to Zheng Peng's words.

As soon as the master and servant finished discussing, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves, and then someone said "The emperor is coming", Zheng Peng's heart moved when he heard this, and he looked up at the place where the sound was made, and just saw Li Longji and Gao Lishi, escorted by a team of Yulin Army, flying towards him.

As soon as he saw Li Longji, Zheng Peng's eyes lit up, a subtle smile appeared on his lips, and he said to himself: "It's really a dozing off, someone sends a pillow, hehe, luck is not bad." ”

"Uncle won't be... Reach out to the emperor, right? Cui Er hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice.

Cui Er, who knows so much and is good at observing, has long known his aunt well, Zheng Peng's eyes were observed by Cui Er when he saw Li Longji, and when he heard Zheng Peng's words, he immediately guessed where his aunt wanted to get money from the emperor.

Amazing, when others see the emperor, they don't think about how to stammer, they think about how to please, they can't wait to dig out their liver and guts to show the emperor, see their loyalty and courage, their own aunt is good, looking at the emperor, it's like seeing a mountain of gold, and his eyes are full of "money and light".

Zheng Peng snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "The crying child has milk to drink, whether it has dates or not, poke the two poles first." ”

The world is the world of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty belongs to Li Longji, as the emperor, Li Longji is the master of this land, all things, including people, can be said to be him, if you want to say that you are rich, as the emperor Li Longji recognizes the second, no one dares to recognize the first.

It is no exaggeration to say that Li Longji plucks a hair casually, which is thicker than Zheng Peng's waist.

Cui Er said with admiration: "Uncle has won the trust of the emperor, which is really gratifying." ”

Looking at the Tang Dynasty, few people can get the emperor's favor like my uncle, and I can make an exception not to go to the court, not to mention, that is, to repair a road, the emperor has come to the road repair site many times, this is an honor that even if you have money, you can't get it, by the way, the emperor of the wine shop still has a part.

Do business and pull the emperor to the emperor, look at the Tang Dynasty, and be the only one.

Zheng Peng waved his hand and said, "The God of Wealth is here, welcome it first, and then go." ”
