Another World Da Ming: I use a hundred lives to become holy

"Lord Tu, I hope that we can be even closer when we meet again next time."

......

Tu Jie left the capital, and for the first time, he felt so free and unrestrained.

No burdens, no taboos, laden with treasures, safe and sound.

As for what Tu Jie, the second-in-command who replaced him as an undercover agent in the capital, had said to him, he completely forgot about it once the carriage left the capital.

Betrayal is something Tu Jie dares not do.

But closer?

Tu Jie thought of the hard life Zhao Zheng had lived, especially the bitter tea leaves, and suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

If you can't even spend money freely, what's the point of having a lot of money?

Just one night later, Tu Jie had figured everything out; he truly felt that he had understood everything.

Power is money, and money is everything.

But if silver is just kept in your own hands, it's just a pile of stones. Only silver that is spent counts as silver!

Therefore, he had to enjoy himself to the fullest before working for Zhao Zheng.

As for the promotion promised by the current emperor?

Don't be ridiculous, you might as well join forces with Zhao Zheng.

"Master, where are we going?"

"Go down to Yangzhou!"

"Yes! Master."

Emperor Zhu Chongba made him a spy but gave him nothing and allowed his entire family to remain in the cabinet compound.

In the past, Tu Jie would have felt like the sky had fallen.

But now, Tu Jie has accepted Zhao Zheng's commission and has received an inexhaustible amount of money.

From another perspective, isn't his own family in the Cabinet's residential compound the safest place in the world?

Tu Jie, now he can be considered the third most powerful person in the world!

He had long wanted to go to Yangzhou, and now, he had finally arrived! Openly and honestly!

"In the third month of spring, by the willow-lined lake, there are pavilions and stages for singing and dancing, hahaha!"

With countless riches, Yangzhou is paradise. This is not just Tu Jie's opinion, but the experience passed down from countless predecessors. Tu Jie is full of expectations.

......

......

"Hey! Haha! Everyone, give it your all!"

"Thank you all for your hard work! We must complete the paving of the last section of the road this month! Yangzhou must become the first prefecture city to connect with the central hub of Jiangcheng!"

"it is good!"

Yangzhou.

When Tu Jie and his silver arrived in the prefectural city, he was filled with everything he had been hoping for, and a smile remained on his face the whole way.

The leaves of the deciduous trees seemed to have received an order from the autumn wind.

"Gone?"

"how come?"

Where are my romantic tales and my stage performances?

Upon entering the prefectural city, Tu Jie, clutching his silver notes, lifted the carriage curtain with a smile, only to see rows of people carrying sleepers and hurrying out of the city. He stared blankly at the coachman.

Where are the bustling streets of Yangzhou, and the beautiful songstresses singing their lyrics?

He subconsciously thought that the driver might have led him astray or into the wrong city.

Even if you just pick up a driver along the way from Yingtian to Yangzhou, you can still find your way, let alone the team he hired at a high price.

"Sir, shall we ask someone?"

The driver, who had been hired by Tu Jie at a high price, was also somewhat bewildered. However, adhering to his professional ethics, he immediately sought out someone to inquire about the situation after Tu Jie nodded.

"..."

"What happened? Have you found out?"

Tu Jie was getting anxious. Although it was still daytime, many restaurants and karaoke venues probably hadn't officially opened yet.

But this is Yangzhou!

Under normal circumstances, even if those restaurants and nightclubs haven't started operating yet.

The city shouldn't look like a construction site resettlement area!

Not only were there no restaurants or singing stages, but even small vendors were nowhere to be seen.

Has his memory become disordered? Has a new imperial decree been issued?

still......

Back in the cabinet, even if you didn't have many genuine loyal followers, you were still nominally the highest authority. You couldn't be greedy for money, but you could still command a few subordinates.

But now.

With a livelihood spanning most of the world in mind, I arrived at the most prosperous place in the entire world.

But you can't even find a decent place to have fun!

Could it be? No! It must be Zhao Zheng's doing!

Before the driver could answer, Tu Jie had already come up with an answer.

No wonder Zhao Zheng entrusted him with so much money! This money is not something you can just take for free!

Lord Bowang! It's been so long, why are you still plotting against me, Tu Jie!

"Sir, almost the entire city of Yangzhou is engaged in the construction of the Yangzhou Railway Station. Yangzhou is determined to complete the railway line connection task this month, so this month..."

really.

The answer the driver brought back was exactly as Tu Jie had expected.

If Zhao Zheng hadn't been involved, none of this would have happened!

But he couldn't get that much money...

But a month, a whole month!

"Sir, what's next...?"

Problems wait for no one. He could no longer stay in Yangzhou, so where else could he go?

Head straight to Sichuan!?

Start working immediately!?

I, Tu Jie, am actually going to be a model worker?

Let's forget about it then. Bringing only the money won't do any good.

The driver looked at Tu Jie, and Tu Jie looked at the sky. Both of them were filled with confusion, not knowing how to proceed.

"Sir, how about we go to Yangzhou Railway Station and take a look?"

"The scene before the completion of the saint's Cross Railway project is truly a sight to behold throughout history."

To make the money more palatable, and also out of a bit of personal motive, the driver was the first to think of a plan. Seeing Tu Jie's confusion, he came up with another scheme.

"..." But this plan was undoubtedly another painful blow to Tu Jie.

Go see the construction site? The Cross Railway project led by Zhao Zheng?

Then Tu Jie would really become someone who came to Yangzhou specifically to supervise the construction. His mind started racing, trying to find a reasonable explanation for what he had left behind.

"Master? Shall we go?"

The driver had no idea what Tu Jie was thinking, and assumed that he might not have heard him clearly.

"go with!"

Tu Jie nodded. Actually, he hadn't figured it out yet, but if he didn't go there, was he supposed to study Zhuge Liang in the empty city?

Tu Jie only hoped that going to see the Yangzhou station would bring him some enjoyment, or that returning to Yangzhou at night would dispel this illusion.

With money, why worry about not being able to spend it?

In the end, thinking of this old saying, Tu Jie felt somewhat comforted.

"Please have a seat, sir!"

"drive!"

The escort team breathed a sigh of relief, as they hadn't encountered such a sucker as Tu Jie in a long time.

When they were in the capital, they actually hired all their best men to form an escort team at twice the market price.

Judging from their daily behavior, their background is probably not simple either.

Even if we disregard the case files, we must treat this matter well, considering the potential financial gain and future prospects.

......

The Cross Railway Project, Yangzhou Station.

"..."

"Is this a construction site?"

On the way to the Yangzhou Station construction site, Tu Jie was actually thinking of giving up entirely.

There's no way around it; no matter how luxurious a carriage is, its regulations are what they are, and it can never compare to an inn.

At the same time, in order to enjoy himself more quickly, and mainly because he was afraid of delaying Zhao Zheng's orders, Tu Jie did not dare to rest properly after arriving in Yangzhou. He made a special trip to make the most of the time.

Who knew that Yangzhou would be so different when we arrived!

And now, Yangzhou Station, which should have been covered in dust, has once again surprised Tu Jie.
