After this sentence was finished, Lao Gu's voice also rang.

"Well, go and gather more people tomorrow."

"Prepare the tools, too."

"If it really doesn't work, then chisel it open."

Chisel open?

After hearing this, Wu Xueli was delighted.

"inside……"

"Lao Gu, do you want to chisel this Buddha statue?"

Lao Gu's words were interrupted by a sudden sound.

His eyes flashed, and he turned his head and saw Wu Xueli walking towards this side casually.

"Hey, this Buddha statue is probably not cheap, right?"

"You are reluctant to even call the big ship to get the money, but you are willing to chisel the Buddha statue?"

The person behind Lao Gu looked at Lao Gu.

Lao Gu winked at him, then changed his smile and said to Wu Xueli: "After all, these little brothers have really delayed your time because of us."

"If we can't pull up in the past two days, we can only chisel open so that everyone can pass through."

Wu Xueli praised: "I didn't expect you to be a person with great righteousness."

"For the sake of everyone's access, I am willing to make such a big fortune."

"It really makes me Mr. Wu admire him!"

Lao Gu smiled, as if he was very happy to be praised by Wu Xueli.

"Thank you for the compliment."

After Wu Xueli finished talking to him, he hurriedly wanted to go back and tell Zhao Ce and others about this good news.

After Wu Xueli left, Lao Gu and others looked at his back and looked at each other.

"Let's go, prepare the tools. If it really doesn't work, just chisel it open."

"It's fine if it's broken."

After Lao Gu finished speaking, the people behind him pressed their clothes and they should have said it was OK.

Zhao Ce and others were eating the vegetarian food they delivered in their respective rooms, and Wu Xueli ran back in a hurry.

He informed him one room at a time.

"I just heard Lao Gu and the others say that if they can't pull it up in the past two days, they will chisel the Buddha statue."

"If it is broken, it will be cleaned up then."

Zhao Ce put down the bowl and asked curiously: "Brother Xueli, you are knowledgeable. Can you see the approximate value of the Buddha statue?"

Wu Xueli was praised by Zhao Ce's words "very knowledgeable" and was a little fluttering.

He smiled "hehe" and said, "According to my estimate, this semi-finished big Buddha is probably worth hundreds of taels of silver."

The sculpture of this Buddha statue is not very good, and that huge stone is expensive.

Shipping from one place to another is also expensive.

In this way, a few hundred taels are worth it.

Zhao Ce asked again: "If you go to the capital city to borrow two large ships, how much will it cost?"

Wu Xueli thought for a while and said, "Can you get it within one hundred taels?"

Zhao Ce nodded thoughtfully.

Su Caier next to him heard this and asked curiously: "Didn't Uncle Gu and the others lose a lot of money?"

Wu Xueli said: "Yes!"

"That's why I said that he is a righteous man!"

"For everyone's access, it's so grand that I can waste so much money!"

"Although this happens, although we still can't catch up, we can pass earlier."

"When the time comes, it will be chiseled open, and it will take two or three days to clean the large gravel on it."

"Our boat is not well-drawn, so we should be able to pass."

After Wu Xueli finished speaking, he said excitedly: "I'll go and tell Lu Xingwen and the others this good news."

Then, he left happily again.

Zhao Ce put his finger on the table and tapped the table gently.

If Lao Gu and the others could use their own methods, they would be able to hang up the Buddha statue tomorrow.

But they refused to go to the capital city to borrow a boat.

They would rather just dig a Buddha statue and lose hundreds of taels.

Speaking of it, I feel that this person is a little careless...

Su Caier also said strangely: "Husband, this is such a waste of money."

"Anyway, we can't catch up. Why don't we talk to Uncle Agu and the others tomorrow, so we don't have to worry."

The little girl has always been poor.

If she loses money from her family, she will feel distressed.

I also felt a little distressed when I watched other people's money so much.

Just like the older generation who have experienced a bit of suffering in modern times, they will cry out "making evil" with distress when they see others wasting money.

Zhao Ce smiled and said, "Okay, let's see how things will be tomorrow."

"If it doesn't work, my husband has other ways."

It's just that something happened, they definitely couldn't catch up and go back to receive the good news...

The young couple remembered this good news that they could not accept in person.

They all sighed happily.

......

In the afternoon, Lao Gu sent someone to ride a horse to the other side of the mountain to inform another village.

The journey is long, and the wages paid this time are eighty cents a day.

People from that village heard that they could make money like this.

So we organized everyone to set off in the middle of the night.

A large group of people came to the temple with torches and dry food.

By noon, everyone was already here.

Looking at the temple, you can also see the occasionally crowded heads at the foot of the mountain.

Zhao Ce and his friends went down the mountain to watch the fun again.

More and more people are pulling ropes.

After Lao Gu gave the order, everyone shouted slogans "Hey, hey," and pulled them to the shore.

"It's moving!"

"You can do it with some more force!"

Wu Xueli shouted in surprise.

Everyone on the shore was also inspired.

Everyone worked together and slowly pulled.

The Buddha statue moves little by little.

Wu Xueli's unconscious voice increased a lot: "Eat more force!"

Su Caier, who was standing beside her, also felt this nervous mood and clenched her fists.

Just as he was shouting, the servants sent by the Wu family also came back.

The young man and one of the boatmen were carrying one shoulder pole, and a basket was hanging in the middle.

The two of them carried the things and walked directly to Zhao Ce's side.

A layer of white cloth was built on the basket, and the things inside looked quite heavy, which made the two old men breathe so tired.

He said, "Young Master Zhao, I will urge the blacksmith master to make you what you want."

Zhao Ce took a look and said, "Okay, thank you."
