Chapter 168: Trying to Capture the Past

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that Weichen is ......"

"What are you afraid of, it's up to you, take Zhuang Tinghao within ten days, if he doesn't write a confession, I will ask you!"

Zhu Di glanced at Lin Hao and scolded.

"Yes!"

Lin Hao could only smile bitterly and shake his head.

"Retreat from the dynasty, Lin Aiqing will enter the palace at noon tomorrow, and I will hold a family banquet."

Zhu Di waved his hand, and then stepped off the dragon chair.

……

Walk out of the Tai Chi Temple.

"Lord Lin, that Zhuang Tinghao is a hard bone to gnaw, the official tried to communicate with him, he bit to death, if His Majesty does not follow the example of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to write down the edict of the crime and inform the people of the world, he will not want to be released from prison."

Jin Chun hurried forward and said with a headache.

In order to solve the problem of Zhuang Tinghao, an old boy, he couldn't sleep at night and couldn't eat.

"Master Jin, do you know what it means to kill people more than to punish the heart?"

Lin Hao asked with a slight squint.

"What do you mean by that?"

Jin Chun was puzzled.

"Just wait and see, Second Highness, let's go to Honglu Temple."

Lin Hao beckoned to Zhu Gaoxu.

The carriage was on the road, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and from time to time there were two muffled thunders and a light rain, which gradually poured.

The roads of the inner city were full of potholes and horse-drawn carriages were constantly jolting.

"As soon as this rainy season comes, Yingtianfu will become this ghost weather."

Zhu Gaoxu lifted the curtain, stretched out his hand, felt the cold rain, and sighed.

"After Zhao Heng sent it to Honglu Temple, he went to find a layout map of Zhixingfang, if not, let Yang Shiqi take someone to explore and draw, and within a day, do it."

Lin Hao instructed Zhao Heng, who was driving.

"The 36 squares in the outer city were originally planned according to the Ministry of Industry, although it has been more than ten years, but there should be an archive in the Ministry of Industry."

Zhao Heng nodded, he couldn't get used to Zhu Gaochi's domineering appearance.

……

Honglu Temple.

Xiao Ding, a member of the Ministry of Labor, with thousands of craftsmen, has taken over Honglu Temple.

"Lord Xiao, according to what Your Majesty said, within half a month, can Honglu Temple be restored to its original state?"

Lin Hao stepped out of the carriage, looked at Xiao Ding who came forward, and said with a slight squint.

"Half of the building of Honglu Temple was destroyed by the fire, and if you want to fully restore it, it will take at least half a year, which is the design of the subordinates."

"There are many buildings in Honglu Temple, in fact, there are less than 100 people in the above positions, and nearly 30% of the buildings have been vacant for decades, so Weichen's idea is to temporarily build a few necessary buildings, and the others will be directly pushed flat, and flowers and trees will be purchased and converted into gardens."

Xiao Ding spread a drawing onto the carriage and narrated.

"What kind of words is this, if even the Honglu Temple is so shabby, the Tatar prince sees it, won't he want to laugh at my weakness?"

Lin Hao scolded.

"It's really time pressing, the only way to do it at the moment, if Lord Lin is not satisfied, the lower official has another suggestion, the Tatar prince and his party will be placed in Taichang Temple, and the adults of Taichang Temple will temporarily move to the unburned house in this Honglu Temple."

Xiao Ding's palms were soaked, and he didn't know whether it was sweat or rain.

"Lao Xiao, you have shortened the road, this official asked you, how much silver taels did Your Majesty allocate to rebuild Honglu Temple?"

Lin Hao leaned over to Xiao Ding's side, put his shoulder on his shoulder, and said with a smile.

"A total of 100,000 taels of silver."

Xiao Ding didn't know what Lin Hao's words meant, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

"One hundred thousand taels to build a Honglu Temple, it's really stingy enough, Lord Xiao Ding has ever heard of light steel buildings?"

The corners of Lin Hao's mouth outlined a trace of arc.

Taoyuan Building Materials Research Institute has developed a light steel building.

Similar to the three-story small western-style buildings in the countryside in later generations, the cost of one building is only 100 taels of silver.

Pile up a hundred or so buildings on the foundation of this Honglu Temple, it is only 10,000 taels of silver, and in terms of aura, it will definitely not lose anywhere.

It's this safety, it still needs to be considered, Lin Hao doesn't want the people of Taoyuan to be guinea pigs, his county people, their lives are precious!

However, the reception of this Honglu Temple was originally a foreign guest, even if the quality is not good, it will be stoned to death, and it is insignificant.

"What is a light steel building?"

Xiao Ding was puzzled.

"I told you that you don't understand, since you can't do this, you will contract to the official to do it, you don't have to do anything, you only need to give the official 90,000 taels, and the remaining 10,000 taels, you and these craftsmen will divide it."

Lin Hao showed a hint of cunning.

"Don't do it, Honglu Temple is one of the five temples, Your Majesty will personally accept it, if you can't meet Your Majesty's requirements in the end, it will be a capital crime to kill your head!"

Xiao Ding was so frightened that he knelt down towards Lin Hao, and kept kowtowing his head.

"Old Xiao, will Lord Lin harm you?"

Zhu Gaoxu asked earnestly.

Although he didn't know what this light steel building was, it was definitely a new thing from Taoyuan.

If this Xiao Ding didn't agree, wouldn't he not be able to see such a novelty, so he sang and played together.

"Lord Lin is above the court, and the wind review is notoriously good, so naturally he will not harm the officials."

Xiao Ding shook his head, almost all of the six were praising Lord Lin's exploits.

"Lord Lin is worried about you, based on the design you came up with, with the palace's understanding of his father, if he sees it, he will definitely be furious, and he may behead you!"

"As a member of the Ministry of Labor, you naturally know that it is impossible to rebuild Honglu Temple with only 100,000 taels, Lord Lin is thinking of paying out of his own pocket to fill the vacancy and help you do this, why are you so confused?"

Zhu Gaoxu pretended to sigh helplessly.

Xiao Ding's legs trembled suddenly, and he was extremely afraid in his heart, as the saying goes, knowing the father is better than the son.

Thank you for your generosity, otherwise when it is really completed, wouldn't you have to be beheaded by Your Majesty!?

"Thank you, Lord Lin, the reconstruction project of Honglu Temple will be entrusted to you, but wherever it can be used, despite the orders, there are eight hundred carpenters, one hundred bricklayers, and one hundred painters here."

"If there is not enough manpower, even if you instruct it, go to the Ministry of Industry to mobilize it, and these are the silver allocated by His Majesty to rebuild Honglu Temple, and hand it over to you, Lord Lin."

Xiao Ding led Lin Hao and his party into a treasure house, where there were thirty-two large lacquered red wooden boxes.

I never thought that Lin Hao would swallow this silver, after all, the scene of taking out millions of taels of silver tickets in the court at the beginning was crazy among the six parts.

is only 100,000 taels, for Lord Lin, it is the tip of the hair.

"You go down first, where did my father get so much cash?"

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand, and after Xiao Ding left, he opened a wooden box, only to see that silver ingots with cold light were neatly stacked inside.

"It's all obtained by the Tobacco Division, Your Majesty is so shrewd, you know that if those silver tickets can't be redeemed, they are just a piece of waste paper, so when you let the tobacco departments and Huibaotong settle accounts, they will exchange the silver tickets for cash and send them to Yingtianfu."

Lin Hao smiled bitterly and shook his head, Zhu Di is not guarding himself like a thief.

"I'll send someone to Zhixingfang in a moment."

Lin Hao continued.

Walking out of the treasure house, Lin Hao beckoned to Xiao Ding, and took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve: "This is 10,000 taels, I will treat you." ”

"I can't help it, Lord Lin!"

Xiao Ding waved his hand again and again, Lord Lin helped him so much, how could he still collect money, not to mention if he received silver, what is the difference between corruption and bribery?

"Let you take it, even if you don't think about it, you have to think about it for the craftsmen under your command, they all came to Yingtianfu with their families, how much salary can they get every month, and one or two more silver can improve the livelihood of the family, not to mention that this is given to you by this official, you don't have to have any psychological burden!"

Lin Hao glanced at Xiao Ding and stuffed the silver ticket into his sleeve.

"Thank you, Lord Lin."

Xiao Ding was moved, and he couldn't wait to kneel down and call Lin Hao Dad, and sure enough, he followed Lord Lin, he couldn't buy a loss, and he couldn't be fooled.

"You asked people to tear down all the buildings of Honglu Temple in the past two days, and send all the materials to Taoyuan County."

Lin Hao squinted slightly.

"It's all up to Lord Lin's orders, but after these pieces of wood are removed, what's the use?"

Xiao Ding asked puzzled.

"Of course, it is used to build a house, and now there are still many people in Daming, and there is no place to live."

Lin Hao couldn't help but smile, these dismantled materials are not waste, they are all good nanmu, but in this era, nanmu is not taken seriously.

"Lord Lin is so virtuous, the villain really admires it!"

Xiao Ding bowed deeply towards Lin Hao and said, "There is one more thing, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?" ”

"Lao Xiao, we are brothers, if there is anything, just ask!"

Lin Hao smiled and smashed a fist on Xiao Ding's chest, and implemented the guidelines of not helping you if you have something to do.

"It's those people from the Shandong clan, or you should take it away, you can't carry it on your shoulders and can't pick it up, staying here is also a hindrance, and you have to wait for a good life."

Xiao Ding complained bitterly.

"Now everyone knows that these clan people are hot potatoes, who let us be brothers, since you have spoken, this matter is incumbent!"

Lin Hao was embarrassed, his whole expression was like eating, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally sighed and said.

……

"Lord Lin, what is this for, what do these individuals from the Ministry of Industry mean?"

Zhao Shanben was flustered in his heart, and trotted all the way to Lin Hao, they were already deeply aware of their mistakes.

In the past few days, he has not slackened at all, and even made a military order in private, got up before dawn to work, and slept later than a dog.

"Lord Lin, you have a word, you are in a hurry!"

Seeing that Lin Hao didn't mean to pay attention to him at all, Zhao Shanben suddenly became anxious.

"These silver tickets are divided with you, how far you can escape, tonight the official will ask the city guard to open the city gate and let you go."

Lin Hao pretended to look up at the sky at a deep angle of four or fifty-five degrees, and sighed.

"Master Lin, what's wrong, you just get to the bottom of it with me, no matter what, you can discuss and solve it, right?"

Zhao Shanben was about to cry, how could it become how far he fled, and as soon as he made a move, it was tens of thousands of taels of silver tickets.

As soon as these words came out, a touch of cunning inadvertently flashed in Lin Hao's eyes: "Old Zhuang is dead." ”

"Ah, what the hell is going on, it's only been a few days, how can there be such a big change?"

Zhao Shanben's legs were weak, and he sat directly on the ground, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Your Majesty, his old man is kind-hearted, and he has already asked Master Jin Chun, the secretary of the Criminal Department, to release Zhuang Lao, but you also know Zhuang Lao's temperament, you have to ask Your Majesty to write an edict to inform the world, otherwise you don't want to be released from prison."

"I have been delayed in prison, some time ago, Zhuang Lao suffered from wind evil in prison, even if the palace imperial doctor took action, he was powerless to return to the sky, just last night, Zhuang Lao died of illness in the hospital."

Lin Hao shook his head helplessly, and continued:

"If this matter is spread out, how can the people of the Shandong clan think that Zhuang Lao died because of the wind evil? He was bound to enter Beijing to ask for the guilt, and the Tatar envoys were about to come to Yingtian in a few days, and His Majesty was already anxious about this matter, so he issued an order to mobilize 30,000 iron horsemen from the Shenshu camp. ”

Lin Hao said this, Zhu Gaoxu took out the talisman in his arms and shook it in front of Zhao Shanben.

"Zhuang Lao's death can't be hidden, at this moment, the 30,000 iron horsemen of the Shenshu Camp are already on their way to Shandong Mansion, and when the Shenshu Camp is in place, His Majesty will announce the death of Zhuang Lao, and anyone who dares to make trouble in Shandong Mansion will be killed!"

Lin Hao's eyes were full of helplessness when he looked at Zhao Shanben.
