Chapter 8 Brothers are ruthless
Chen Xu indicated that he wanted to buy two subordinates of the restaurant.
Why didn't he recruit directly, Datang has no talent market, and the ghost knows what level the applicants are, Chen Xu might as well do it in one step and directly select qualified candidates by himself.
Because of the Sui Rebellion and the subsequent hegemony, countless people were displaced, and there were many people who sold themselves to people, which is a very common thing in Xishi.
The middle-aged man found more than 20 people for Chen Xu, both men and women, and Chen Xu checked them one by one.
In the end, he picked a tall and strong young man, Zhang Gen, and an unkempt young woman.
Zhang Gen has great strength and is suitable for rough work, and Chen Xu likes his eyes very much.
There was no cunning, with simple expectations but did not rush to beg him to choose himself like everyone else, and after Chen Xu asked him to show his strength, he blushed and picked up the stone lock next to him.
The young woman Aaron, Chen Xu noticed that her temperament was a little unusual, and she really couldn't look past her unrecognizable appearance, so it was good to take it back and fight it, after all, there would be a lot of restaurant affairs.
Chen Xu happily paid ten gold, middle-aged and overjoyed, and after destroying the deed of sale in front of the three of them, the two followed Chen Xu.
"Master, I have strength in me, you can hand over any errand to me!"
Zhang Gen, who was reborn, patted his chest with excitement and said to Chen Xu, Alun also bowed to Chen Xu, his dirty hair was scattered, and his voice was a little hoarse, but also happy.
"Okay, don't gossip, follow me, you two boys will wait to enjoy happiness in the future."
Chen Xu smiled, turned around and bought a horse-drawn carriage, purchased some supplies and went back.
"Master Chen, you can come back, the little one has been waiting for you here for a long time!"
There was a small official standing in front of the restaurant, he ran with joy, saying that Li Er wanted to see him, Chen Xu had no choice, and after ordering the two to clean up the restaurant, he followed him to the Qin Wangfu.
"Master Chen, you can come, come and help me see how to solve this trouble?"
Li Er was walking around, and when he saw Chen Xu, he immediately greeted him and talked about what happened.
It turned out that a large wall in the north of Chang'an City had collapsed, just last night! The worst thing is that they also found out that this thing was done by King Qi!
, is this brother fighting so fiercely, Chen Xu complained in his heart, King Qi is too ruthless.
As soon as his second brother took office, he immediately gave him a problem, is this his own brother?
"This city wall was only built in the Sui Dynasty, how could it collapse?" Chen Xu was also dumbfounded, such a spectacular city wall can collapse, what can I say.
"It was detonated under the bricks." Li Er gritted his teeth and said, Originally, ordinary people couldn't do this kind of thing at all, and he would have been arrested for doing suspicious things near the city wall, but can the identity of King Qi be ordinary?
It turned out that the entire section was collapsed, Chen Xu nodded, and suddenly realized that the earthquake resistance and tensile resistance of the ancient city wall are naturally not as good as modern ones.
"The walls that are more than half a mile long have all collapsed." Next to him, Li Xiaogong whispered, telling Chen Xu about the importance of things.
At this time, the Turks are strong, and the entire north of Chang'an is now very likely to face their troops, such a large section of the city wall collapses, in case the other party kills it, the result is ......
And Chen Xu's face changed, and he suddenly remembered the famous incident of the Weishui Alliance, when the Turks were standing outside Chang'an City, and they were almost killed.
"The city wall must be repaired immediately, my father has already entrusted me with an errand, but how can I let this king do it in a short time?"
Li Er walked back and forth in a boring manner, which involved countless manpower and material resources, but if he couldn't do it quickly, his first errand would not be done well, and I was afraid that it would cause his father's dissatisfaction.
When the time comes, if he is beaten by the crown prince and the king of Qi again, his situation will be even more dangerous.
"Don't panic, I'll help you figure out a way to do this."
Chen Xu pressed on Li Er's shoulder, why don't you walk around, my eyes are dizzy when I see it.
The faces of the surrounding eldest grandson Wuji and others shook, and Cheng Biting Jin almost couldn't hold back, and chopped it down with an axe.
"Chen Xu, you! How could he be so unreasonable to King Qin? Cheng Yanjin shouted, if it weren't for King Qin's indication, he would have caught Chen Xu like yesterday.
"Zhijie, Master Chen didn't do anything, so he had to make a big fuss."
Li Er didn't bite Jin Dao angrily, not only was he not the slightest bit angry, but on the contrary, he was still happy in his heart.
He knew that Chen Xu was not a person from the Tang Dynasty, and his performance was unfathomable, so that everyone could see his mind and show favor to Chen Xu.
The co-optation of people's hearts is more effective than the purchase of materials, and nothing can win over Chen Xu faster than this method, so why not.
Chen Xu glanced at Cheng Yanjin speechlessly, how can I treat you King Qin with no power? Such a big man, such a small heart.
He opened his mouth and said: "Behind this is what the King of Qi did, first of all, we must hide it, and we must not publicize it, giving the King of Qi and the crown prince a false impression that we don't know about it at all." ”
"Why?" The eldest grandson Wuji and the others asked speechlessly, everyone has bullied them, and they can't fight back?
Li Er pondered for a while and asked, "Master Chen, you said pretending, could it be that you want to wait for the autumn queen to settle accounts?" ”
Chen Xu glanced at Li Er appreciatively, worthy of being the first emperor of the ages, really smart.
"Think about it, if there is such a big thing, if we can repair the city wall as soon as possible, and the king of Qi is watching the play on the side, and in the end, we will take out all the evidence we have collected, and him King Qi hard, if we can still pull out the prince, you say, how will Your Majesty react?"
A room of people looked at each other, and Fang Xuanling took the lead in extending his thumb: "Master Chen, this trick is not triggered, wonderful!" ”
"And maybe it has the effect of startling the grass and snakes, after all, King Qi will definitely not let our wife repair the city wall peacefully, and he will definitely make trouble."
Li Er nodded, if the King of Qi really dared to do this, this evidence would also exist, and when the time came, he would present it to his father and emperor together, and see if his father was still partial to Li Yuanji!
So the question now is how to repair this wall.
The group rode around the imperial city in a carriage and came all the way to the destroyed part of the western section, only to see that it was already a large section of broken walls, and a large piece of intact city wall collapsed to the ground.
Of course, this thing can't be glued like glue, so it has to be pulled away.
"Your Highness, I don't know how much time Your Majesty has given you?"
"It's only been half a month." Li Er sighed, Chen Xu's face also changed, it's only been half a month?
