    Chapter 698: [Building Streets and Roads]

    ¡­¡­

    When Gui E heard this, she thought so. If someone knew about it, it would be bad.

    So she shut her mouth.

    Because of the Crown Prince¡¯s affairs, the Crown Princess¡¯s affairs were also brought over.

    The Crown Princess is also from the palace, so we can¡¯t say.

    And thinking about it, she also found it funny, how could she be jealous of the Crown Princess.

    And she doesn¡¯t think she should be jealous of Li Chengqian!

    She rolled her eyes, and then thought, she should be jealous!

    When she was thinking about it contradictoryly, Fang Niang's voice sounded outside the door.

    "Madam, there's another attack in the restaurant!" Fang Niang said, her footsteps a little urgent.

    When Li Chengqian came in just now, they didn't close the door, so now Fang Niang hurried in and saw the door open and Gui E sitting peacefully, so she had no suspicion and didn't see anything she shouldn't have seen.

    "Really? Why are you here again so soon? Didn't you come here once last night?" Gui E asked strangely.

    "I don't know, the manager of the restaurant came to the door in person and asked us to add more goods!" Fang Niang said with joy and urgency on her face.

    Gui E looked at Li Chengqian.  Li Chengqian said: "In the next few days, the demand for complex eggs will probably increase, so you need to make more preparations. Some of the marinating times for complex eggs can be shorter, and you can use different times.  Let¡¯s try some complex eggs to see how many days are the shortest time. In this way, the pickling time can be shortened. I think I can eat them if they are half a month old. Then I can use the current complex eggs again.  It can be sold!"

    Gui E nodded.  Said: "I'm going to tell Uncle Zhou to count the eggs and pickle the new eggs!"

    Gui'e and Wangjiazhuang are going to be busy.  Li Chengqian couldn't help by staying here, so he looked around.  I went back to Huangzhuang to do business.

    The people from the Ministry of Industry quickly greeted Li Chengqian and said that they would arrange the road construction soon, and then discuss it with Foreman Lu. The specific matters would be left to their Ministry of Industry and Foreman Lu.

    A few days later, when listening to the work report, Foreman Lu said that the construction period at the Ministry of Industry and Commerce has been arranged. It is expected to start at the end of November and complete the second section of the road by February next year.

    In the past few days, Li Chengqian has received another business.

    Jing Zhaoyin approached the cement factory.  I want to buy cement from the cement factory because it is Chinese New Year. There is a section of bluestone road in Chang'an that is in tatters and I want to repair it.

    That is a section of street leading to the West Market. The trucks transported there are large and heavy, and the road is becoming more and more heavy.  As for the bluestone road, it would cost a lot to rebuild it according to the original stone road. Jing Zhaoyin went to the emperor to apply.  That's very troublesome.

    But the road is not repaired, which is another dereliction of duty on his part.

    His eyes quickly spotted the cement being used by the military personnel.

    ¡°In addition to the roads outside Chang¡¯an being paved with cement, the military under Li Jing is also building cement roads and cement buildings. It¡¯s great to see those cement roads.  It was no worse than a bluestone road, and it was said that the cost was less, which his department could afford.  So he approached the cement factory to use cement to build this section of the road.

    This is business.  There is no need for Li Chengqian to come forward in person.

    But the director of the factory, Zhu Ganglie, was the son of Monk Zhu who became a monk and returned home to give birth to his son.  He told Li Chengqian when he reported his work to Li Chengqian.

    Li Chengqian raised his head and asked, "Is it that section of the road back to the palace that I keep bumping into every time?"

    Old Long nodded.

    "Damn it, this damn Jing Zhaoyin, he just thought of building this road now, why did he do it already!" Li Chengqian said angrily.

    He has always had to go through that section of the road, and now he gets angry when he thinks about it.

    He decided: "Since he wants to repair, let's do this business with him. Sell him more cement, not less. If he doesn't have skilled workers, ask Foreman Lu's men to provide friendly support and get the cement done as soon as possible."  The road has been repaired!"

    Zhu Ganglie quickly responded.

    The project here is proceeding smoothly, and at the Spy Academy, the investigation mission regarding Hou Junji is also proceeding smoothly.

    After collecting enough information, Li Chengqian and the other three went to the palace to find Lao Li.

    The people investigated this time, about two to three hundred people, have gone deep into many departments of the Tang Dynasty. There are high-ranking officials, small officials, and some retired cadres. If they want to make a move, it will be a small move against the Tang Dynasty.  Tease the muscles and bones.

    Old Li was sitting on the dragon couch at this time, looking at the blacklist compiled by Li Xiaogong and Li Jing. There were hundreds of names on it, making Old Li's face darker and darker.

    ?After a while, he took his eyes off the blacklist, raised his head and looked at the three people below, and said: "When I look at these names, it's like looking at a bad tree growing in a good forest. I want to dig it up."  If you want to cut off this tree, you have to cut off its roots so that it cannot survive. This tree has a main root and side roots. If the big main root is cut off, the small side roots will not be able to survive, and there will be no achievements!"

    He pointed at the blacklist and said, "The same goes for people here!"

    Then he gave no more instructions.

    After Li Chengqian and the two old men went down, they hurried back to compile a new list.

    Soon, a new list came out.

    This list is divided into three levels. In the first level, those who must be beheaded must not be left alive.  The second level is subject to varying degrees of punishment, including demotion, exile, and enslavement of the entire family.  The third level is to let them stay in their original positions without moving a single step.  But don't think about any chance of rising any further.

    This new list was quickly handed over to Lao Li.

    Lao Li crossed out a few items from the list above and asked Li Jing to get ready.

    There are hundreds of officials who want to be killed and punished, but the workload is very heavy, so they need to be fully prepared.

    In terms of military strength, it should be prepared.

    If you want to mobilize troops, you must apply to Lao Li.

    So Li Jing had to prepare a plan first, and then show it to Lao Li. Only when Lao Li thought it was OK could he hand over the military power to Li Jing.

    The arrest period has been set, and it will be mid-December.

    The specific plan for the more than 100 officials to be arrested was slowly released, and Li Jing's cronies selected many military generals and began to give orders. When the time comes, they will lead the small captains to arrest the people separately.

    Other minor officials are easy to catch, but Hou Junji is the Minister of the Ministry of War. It is a big deal to take action. This matter needs to be planned in detail.

    Especially, now that the Minister of War has come down, who will be the Minister of War?

    Li Chengqian doesn¡¯t need to worry about this problem.

    Li Jing went to discuss with Lao Li.

    Soon, Lao Li and Li Jing discussed a person, Li Ji, to be the Minister of the Ministry of War.

    Li Ji, formerly known as Xu Shiji.  Because of his outstanding military exploits, he was given the surname Li, which was the same as Li Shimin, so he removed the surname from his name and changed his name to Li Ji!
