Chapter 218 If you are not angry, what are you called a young man?
Dali Temple.

Inside the cell.

Zhabu looked at the silent Mu Chi with a look of regret.

No one expected that it would end up like this.

Li Tai was fine, but the nine of them had to pay the price of their lives for this action.

“Feel sorry.”

Zabu sighed, “The Prime Minister has negotiated with the King of Wei, but they said they can’t do anything.”

“But the Prime Minister has tried his best. The news has been reported back to Tubo. Perhaps the mobilization of the border troops will make the Tang Dynasty a little wary.”

Mu Chi looked up at him, smiled bitterly and shook his head, “Impossible.”

It’s not that they haven’t fought before. Although disasters are frequent in the Tang Dynasty now, their chances of winning are much better than before, but it is unrealistic to expect the Tang Dynasty to be cautious just by mobilizing troops at the border.

Unless the border army breaks into the territory of the Tang Dynasty and threatens the people of the Tang Dynasty, there may be a chance, but they may also die faster.

“Go back and tell the Prime Minister that I understand what he means.”

Mu Chi took a deep breath and said, “It’s nothing more than a death. It’s my atonement for what I did before.”

Zabu nodded silently.

“Let’s go.”

Mu Chi waved his hand and had no intention of continuing the conversation with Zabu.

Zhabu said in a deep voice: “Don’t worry, after I return to Tubo, I will take care of your wife and children!”

Mu Chi smiled and said, “After you leave, I will tell Sun Fujia that it was Li Tai who bribed me to do this!”

Zabu bowed deeply, turned and left.

After returning to Honglu Temple, Zhabu went to Lu Dongzan first.

“Big phase.”

“we have a deal?”

“Muchi knows what to do!”

“Let’s go then.”

Lu Dongzan took a deep breath and looked up at the blue sky.

Originally, this marriage proposal to the Tang Dynasty was supposed to be a permanent alliance between the two countries, with each other sharing what they have.

But due to some reasons, the two sides became hostile to each other.

When he entered the palace to meet Li Chengqian and proposed returning to Tubo, Li Chengqian agreed without any hesitation.

He knew that he should go back.

This is the dignity that Li Chengqian left for them!

The convoy slowly left the Honglu Temple, escorted by some officials from the Honglu Temple.

Tang Jiahui: “What a pity.”

“You can’t say that, Master Tang.”

“It was just a casual remark.”

……

“Is that the Tibetan envoy team?”

“Yes, it’s them!”

“hetui!”

“These people come to propose marriage with bad intentions!”

“If it weren’t for them, how could the Jiangnan cloth merchant die in Chonghuafang?”

“Get out of here.”

“…”

The Tubo caravan soon attracted the attention of some people. After confirming that it was a Tubo caravan, many people talked about it. Some reckless people even threw vegetable leaves at it.

Lu Dongzan, who was sitting in the carriage, saw it clearly.

He also knew that the reason these people had such a reaction was because of Su Chen’s Tianxia Newspaper!

Su Chen…

Su Chen’s figure vaguely appeared in front of Lu Dongzan, “Stop!”

The convoy stopped.

Some people who were still throwing vegetable leaves dispersed in a hurry.

Lu Dongzan got out of the car and shouted to the figure in front of him, “Su Chen!”

“Ok?”

Su Chen paused and looked back.

Lu Dongzan walked over under the protection of several guards.

“What does the Prime Minister want to ask me?”

“Goodbye.”

“bid farewell?”

Su Chen looked puzzled, “Are we familiar with each other?”

“presumptuous!”

“How dare you disrespect the Prime Minister?!”

“Why are you yelling so loudly?”

Su Chen frowned and glanced at the guard who came forward.

Sun Qiang, who was beside him, sneered and pressed the hilt of the knife with his right hand, “I understand, this is Chang’an!”

Lu Dongzan waved his hand and the guards around him retreated.

“Mr. Su, after this separation, I don’t know if we will have the chance to meet again.”

Lu Dongzan smiled and said, “You did a great job this time. When I saw you just now, I couldn’t help but want to stop you and have a chat with you.”

“There should be a chance for us to meet again.”

Su Chen smiled and said, “But I don’t want to see them again.”

“you……”

Lu Dongzan looked back at his guards and said with a smile, “Young Master Su is really young and full of energy. He says whatever he thinks.”

“Oh, if you’re not full of energy, what’s the point of calling yourself a young man?”

Su Chen said with a smile, “The Prime Minister called me this time. Could it be that he wanted to give me a lecture before we leave?”

Lu Dongzan shook his head. “It’s not necessary. I just think it’s a pity for a talent like Mr. Su to stay in the Tang Dynasty. If he comes to Tibet, he will at least be second to none.”

“Why do we have to work hard all day just for some external things? Isn’t it a waste of our talents?”

Su Chen nodded in understanding. It turned out that they wanted to recruit him into the gang.

“What do you think, Master Su?”

“Sorry, I haven’t thought about going to Tubo for development yet.”

Su Chen smiled and said, “Maybe one day, I can’t stay in the Tang Dynasty anymore, so I will go to Tubo.” Lu Dongzan nodded and said, “Then I will wait for you in Tubo.”

“Farewell.”

“Bon Voyage.”

Lu Dongzan got on the car and left with the team.

Sun Qiang looked disdainful and said, “What’s so good about Tubo? You actually want to drag me to Tubo?”

“People always have to have dreams, right? If you don’t have dreams, what’s the difference between you and salted fish?”

Su Chen smiled and said, “Let’s go and take a look at the ice shop.”

After the ice shop was blown up, it was not cleaned up, also to cooperate with Sun Fujia’s investigation.

Now that the verdict of the case against Mu Chi and others has been announced, there is no need to seal the ice shop anymore.

Wang Xuance brought people to clean up early in the morning.

The collapsed houses have been almost cleared, and the few walls that have not collapsed have also been demolished with the cooperation of everyone.

Looking around, it is particularly eye-catching.

It looked like a row of fish scales, and someone had plucked off a few of them.

If someone with obsessive compulsive disorder were here, they would definitely go crazy.

“Son.”

“Was it cleaned up quickly?”

Su Chen said with a smile, “Have you contacted the workers?”

Wang Xuance: “Xue Li has already gone to look for people, but these houses need to be built, so we may need more manpower.”

Su Chen nodded, “I see everyone has been busy for most of the day, and everyone is out of breath. Give each of you 100 taels of silver, take a break, and wait for Xue Li to bring people here.”

Sun Qiang was stunned. Just for cleaning the ice shop, each person would get one hundred taels of silver?

Isn’t this money very profitable?
“Thank you, sir!”

Everyone thanked him with joy on their faces.

Su Chen waved his hand, pointed at someone and said, “Hey, go find Xue Li and tell him that the wages for those who come to work here will be 50% higher than the market price.”

“it is good!”

The guard named by Su Chen clapped his hands and ran away quickly.

Wang Xuance: “Sir, this is inappropriate, isn’t it?”

Su Chen waved his hand, “What’s inappropriate? You’ve made a lot of money just from this ice shop.”

“Money is earned to be spent, so what difference does it make whether I use it or you use it?”

“As for the workers, if we pay them more, how can we still be short of manpower?”

Wang Xuance grinned and understood what Su Chen meant.

Xue Li hasn’t hired any workers for a long time. I guess he pays them according to the market price. Since the price is the same, why do they have to come to your side to work?

“Sir, what about me?”

“you?”

Su Chen smiled and glanced at Sun Qiang, “What do you want so much silver for?”

“Looking for a wife.”

“……Fine.”

Sun Qiang grinned and nodded, “Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir.”

Su Chen took Wang Xuance for a walk and asked about whether matters at the government office had been handled properly.

Soon, Xue Li came over with a group of workers.

Xue Li: “Sir, there are fifty of us here, all of them are skilled craftsmen.”

Su Chen smiled and nodded, his eyes sweeping over the workers with eager faces.

Someone couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Su, is it really 50% higher than the market price?”

“I, Su Chen, am a man of my word. Why would I lie to you?”

Su Chen smiled and said, “As long as you do your best, I will not treat you unfairly!”

“Lu Fei.”

“Son.”

Lu Fei walked over.

Su Chen: “It’s almost noon. Let’s go to the restaurant on the next street and order some food and drinks. Ten people per table. I’ll send the restaurant’s best dishes over.”

“Everyone, eat your fill later. Only when you are full and satisfied will you have the energy to work.”

“Thank you, Master Su!”

“Mr. Su is righteous!”

“I will make an ice shop for you that looks great!”

As soon as Su Chen’s voice fell, everyone cheered.

Some even patted their chests and guaranteed that they would make the ice shop beautifully and would not cut corners.

Lu Fei nodded, called a few waiters, and happily went to the restaurant next door.

“understand?”

Su Chen looked at Xue Li with a smile.

Xue Li: “There’s no need to waste words on things that can be solved with money.”

Su Chen snapped his fingers, “Not bad.”

“Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.”

“I’ll leave this to you. I’ll go check over at the newspaper office.”

“it is good.”

After explaining things to Wang Xuance and the other two, Su Chen brought Sun Qiang and leisurely came to the newspaper office.

Xu Qizhuang was very enthusiastic about Su Chen’s arrival. He was busy serving tea and water, which surprised Su Chen a little.

“Why do I feel like I don’t quite fit in…”

Su Chen looked at Xu Qizhuang suspiciously, and whispered to Xu Hui, “What bad thing did this guy do?”

Xu Hui whispered, “He heard from Brother Wang Xuance that Brother Su still had five fish tokens, so he wanted to ask Brother Su for one so that he could become a military officer.”

Su Chen immediately understood.

When he was in the Dali Temple, they were the ones who discussed how to deal with the outside affairs, so it was natural for them to find out about this matter easily.

Xu Qizhuang came over with cakes in a flattering manner, “Come on, come on, Brother Su, try some. I just asked the waiter to buy them. They are still hot.”

Su Chen looked at Xu Qizhuang with a smile: “What’s the matter, do you want to be an official?”

Xu Qizhuang was stunned, and laughed, “Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from Brother Su.”

“Actually, it’s not that I want to be a military attaché. I just think that as the editor-in-chief of a newspaper, it’s easy to offend people if I write articles. If I have an official position, it would be a little safer.”

“Besides, with an official position, it would be much easier to get first-hand information, don’t you think so, Brother Su?”
