Li Xian's handwriting basically asked him to do a small favor and put forward a condition in the matter of repairing the statue, that is, Li Xian would raise his own funds...... He understood the meaning, but four of the words still couldn't be understood.

Broken window effect!

"Hey, with this son, the future of King Luling will be unlimited." Obviously, he had guessed that the content of this letter was from Li Ran's handwriting.

And Li Ran didn't know that he had received a frighteningly high evaluation in Zhang Cambodia's heart, he was very busy, busy and happy.

What could satisfy vanity more than to show off in front of a petite wife?

Li Ran volunteered to preside over the repair of the statue, and the only condition was for the old man to send his daughter to be the 'supervisor', and Li Xian, who was as good as a stream, naturally had no objections.

After the two of them chose the address, they issued announcements all over Luling to gather idle people, not limited to farmers, even peddlers, pawns and homeless people!

The salary is frighteningly high, 50 copper coins per person per day.

For a time, the applicants were like crossing the river, and nearly 1,000 people gathered within a few days.

There is no shortage of money and people, but the project has not been moved for a long time, Xian Hui'er can't figure out Li Ran's routine, so she can only hold her cheeks every day, squat beside him, and watch him tinker with new things.

It seems to be called ...... Cement?

"Da Lang, this statue really doesn't need to open the mountain to take stones?"

"No, that thing has a high cost, it's easy to get into trouble, and the efficiency is low, it's not easy for us to earn some silver, and the good steel should be used on the blade."

Li Ran's concentrated appearance was a little handsome, and Li Xianhui's eyes lit up, and she admired it tightly.

Cement is the most cost-effective material for the construction of the statue...... In fact, summoning so many migrant workers, of course, is not as simple as simply repairing statues, the foremen who manage the migrant workers are all Li Xian's former confidants, and they just took this opportunity to whitewash their identities and settle down in Luling to listen to them.

And these people can take the opportunity of managing migrant workers to select capable people from the team to join Li Xian's command, like a snowball, so that Li Xian's followers are more and more.

The only trouble was, of course, that he couldn't remember the recipe for the cement.

Fortunately, the automatic addition of the workshop access has not expired, waste some materials, try slowly, no, after more than eighty times, it finally became a problem.

"Xian Hui'er, look at the craftsmanship of the husband."

Li Ran made two one-person-high stone lions like a treasure, and after solidifying, they were majestic, "There is nothing in front of our mansion, come to the town of two Rui Beast Town." ”

"Okay, let's get two in front of our father's door." , Li Xianhui clapped her hands and applauded, and while she was talking and laughing, a man in a coarse cloth soap coat bowed down and walked in.

"Uncle Cheng, you came just in time, go and inform the migrant workers, and start working in the afternoon."

Li Ran glanced at the man, smiled and commanded.

This Cheng Bo is Li Xian's old confidant, and he was specially sent to protect Li Ran and Li Xianhui's bodyguard and long-term entourage.

It is said that he is a little related to the founding general Cheng Yanjin, and his ability is not to be said, anyway, Li Ran once saw that he could chop the thick wood of the bowl with his bare hands.

"Yes, young master...... I would like to take some of this material to the construction site, so that the craftsmen can familiarize themselves with the use of it, so as not to be in a hurry when they get it. ”

"Okay, but only our own people know, don't tell the migrant workers."

Li Ran didn't want the new invention to be spread by others, this cement has a wide range of uses, so he naturally has to firmly hold the exclusive patent.

"Yes, young master, the little one understands, by the way, there is one more thing, this morning, the Luling County Commander came to our construction site, take a look, it seems that he wants to find something."

"Luling County Order? That Zhang Xian has never been an official, and he doesn't even stay in the countryside during agricultural classes, but now in the cold winter and wax moon, he comes out to drink the northwest wind. ”

Li Ran said that he had never seen such a stupid person, but Cheng Bo shook his head, "Young master, you have been studying cement in the house for the past two days, and there are some miscellaneous things, and the small one has not reported to you. ”

“…… Holy, it's him! ”

Li Ran was slightly stunned, not that this surnamed Wang is famous, but that the other party is very cool, cold and cool.

One of the best 'cool officials' in the Tang Dynasty, second only to Lai Junchen!

"I see, he wants to cut us."

Li Ran couldn't help but smile, "This surnamed Wang was demoted out of the Yushitai, and I feel that when this little Luling County Commander is wronged, I want to find a few stepping stones to complain and return to Luoyang. ”

"Young Master, how do we deal with it?"

"It's business as usual, just pretend you don't know, he wants to come to the construction site, so he generously let him come and give him a good show...... He is known as the 'White Rabbit Imperial History', so let's really make him look like a rabbit. ”

It's a crime to deal with villains and leave a little compassion.

When the construction site started to work in the afternoon, Wang Hongyi was pleasantly surprised to find that the opportunity he wanted had come!

A few overseers paced around the group of craftsmen, whipping a few whips from time to time, causing the craftsmen to complain.

Beat the common people for no reason!

Wang Hongyi immediately made a note in the small notebook, of course, this charge was not enough, he looked far away, and soon found a bigger breakthrough.

The half-grown child who commanded the workers should only be fifteen or sixteen years old, how to look at it, how easy to be tricked.

didn't say anything, stepped forward and pulled closer.

Li Ran never imagined that he would also be targeted by others, in other words, brother has a harmless face?

However, when he saw Wang Hongyi approaching, an imperceptible smile also appeared on his face.

That's right, Wang Hongyi wants to trick him, why doesn't he want to trick this guy, just save the reason.

"Wang County Order, hello, I have heard of the name for a long time, and when I saw it today, it was indeed a fairy figure."

Don't wear a high hat, the more flattering, the better.

“…… Do you recognize me? Wang Hongyi was slightly stunned, and then said proudly, "Hey, but I did a little thing in the Yushitai, it's not enough to worry about it, but it's a young man, could it be that you are the new Taichang Temple Chenglilang?" What a young man! ”

"Don't dare to be, it's just the emperor's favor, today thanks to the emperor's grace, the king of Luling will build the emperor's statue entrusted to me, I am afraid of how to do it, Wang County ordered you to come just right, you might as well teach me a thing or two."

Li Ran cleverly shifted the topic to engineering, like casting bait in front of a greedy cat.

"Oh? Tell me how you're going to do this project. ”

Wang Hongyi was really fooled and climbed up along the hook.

"Hey, I want to repair the statue as soon as possible, but these migrant workers are really not good, and I miss a big matter, I want to tighten the control, and if necessary, punish them severely."

"This method is good, but if you don't fight the people, you can't do it!"

Wang Hongyi clapped his hands and applauded, "Moreover, it is necessary to gather more migrant workers, and it is best to force the nearby people to also participate in the project, pick out those disobedient thorns, and kill them if necessary to set an example." ”

"It's worthy of Lord Wang, it's really a good plan, I'll do it right away!"

Li Ran was excited...... It's not pretended, it's really not expected that Wang Hongyi would cooperate so well in jumping into the fire pit.
