Wang Hu and the others finally had something to do. In order to speed up the progress of his work, Li Siwen selected some young and strong Turkic captives from the prisoner camp to serve as coolies. Don't look at the old iron head when he asked him for a prisoner, he didn't give it, when it came to his own affairs, Li Siwen could be said to do everything. In order to prevent the riots that these people might cause, Li Siwen ordered Wang Hu and others to wear their horses all day long and inspect various construction sites on horseback. Li Mu's side is happily upgrading his construction skills, he leads the craftsmen to work every day, and is recognized by the system as a foreman, enjoying the skill proficiency bonus BUFF, and the proficiency growth rate is much faster than when he was doing carpentry himself. He estimated for himself that when the construction of the city wall was completed, his construction skills would at least reach the full proficiency level of the beginner, and it was not impossible to reach the intermediate level directly.

The efforts were not in vain, and with the news of the salary of Dingxiangcheng recruiting workers to repair the city wall spreading, more and more people came to Dingxiangcheng to find work. Li Siwen did not refuse to come, and all of them were arranged to the construction site, and soon there were more than 500 people working there. Many businessmen from Linxian County took a fancy to the business opportunities of these 500 people, and they all drove ox carts to sell things. Because the salary is paid daily, the people who work have cash in their hands, some small things, or food, and the sales are quite good.

At noon, when it was time to break work, Bai Qiaoqiao brought a group of cooking mothers-in-law to come over with baskets to put on the meal. Bai Qiaoqiao is now the head of the construction site, responsible for managing the cooking mothers-in-law and buying food. Of course, this job was arranged by Li Mu, and with such a good thing, of course he had to take care of his own people first. He knew Bai Qiaoqiao's character, and if she stayed at home all day, she wouldn't be happy. This job is all about calling others, she can't be tired, the two of them can often meet to cultivate their feelings, and they get paid, killing three birds with one stone, why not?

Originally, Li Mu was worried that Li Siwen would think that he was nepotistic, but after arranging it, he found that Li Siwen didn't have this thing in his head at all. This guy also has some advantages, although he doesn't have any strategy, but he has a strong execution ability. For example, now, Li Mu told him what to do, he just did it with all his heart, and his mind was on the city wall every day, and he wouldn't ask a word about other things.

"It's time to eat! Everyone put down their work and came to line up. It's still the same sentence, you can eat as much as you want, don't waste it, whoever wastes it, will be fined half a day's wages! ”

Li Siwen stood on the high slope and shouted three times, and then ran down. These words were taught by Li Mu, and this was originally Li Mu's job, but Li Siwen felt that it felt good to stand in the middle of the crowd and shout, so he snatched this job.

As the county commander and county governor of Dingxiang County, the meals of the two officials are naturally different. Li Mu didn't care, he was used to wotou and dried vegetable soup, and everyone ate these, he ate well, and he was a little embarrassed. But Li Siwen couldn't stand it, he ate Wotou for one or two meals, he could barely bear it, he ate Wotou for every meal, he really couldn't stand it, but he was embarrassed to eat it himself, so he pulled Li Mu every day, and sometimes added Wang Hu to open a small stove. Two meat and two vegetables per meal, it is already a top luxury in Dingxiang City, but Li Siwen still feels dissatisfied, always muttering that when he is in Chang'an, there are at least sixteen dishes at each meal, all of which are Jiangnan's cooks Yunyun, and Li Mu wants to beat him several times.

This small stove was not made by Bai Qiaoqiao, but the cook that Li Siwen brought from home. It can be seen that Li Siwen is indeed not suitable for the army, I haven't heard of any general who goes out to fight and still brings a cook from home, even his father Li Ji does not have such a big pomp.

Li Siwen himself was more or less ashamed, so he never ate out when he ate, he always returned to the tent and ate secretly with Li Mu. In order to settle these workers, Li Mu asked them to set up three tents on the inner side of the city wall, Li Siwen's tent is on the very edge, which is the registration office, and it is also the place where Wang Hu and others rest at night, and they have rested here every day since the first day of the construction site.

"Full on top," Li Siwen held the pot with his own hand and poured a full cup for Li Mu. Li Mu smelled the smell of wine and said in surprise: "How can there be wine today?" ”

No wonder he asked, you can't drink alcohol in the army, Dingxiang City is full of wounded soldiers and grain and grass, there is no wine, Li Siwen suddenly took out a pot of wine, which has to make people suspect that he is hiding private goods.

"Bought it," Li Siwen said with a smile: "Your plan has worked, haven't you seen it, there have been a lot of ox carts around the construction site these days, all of them are merchants selling things." In the morning, when I was wandering around, I happened to see an old man who came to sell wine in an ox cart, and I hadn't drunk in a few months, and I was full of worms in my stomach, so I just opened a store for him. Saying that, Li Siwen shook the wine glass, frowned, and said: "Looking at the color of this wine, the taste will definitely not be good, but in this desolate place, it is already good to be able to drink it, come on, come on, you and I will drink together!" ”

"The old man from the neighboring county who sells wine ......" Li Mu picked up the wine glass, his heart suddenly moved, and asked: "You didn't ask the person who sold wine, what is his name?" ”

Li Siwen was so spicy that he stuck out his tongue, and when he heard it, he said: "I bought wine, why do you ask the old man's name?" ”

Li Mu stared at the wine in the glass, and his heart was still unsteady. Suddenly, there was a dispute outside the tent, Li Mu heard Bai Qiaoqiao's voice, quickly put down the wine glass, and came out of the tent, Li Siwen followed behind him. The two of them pushed aside the crowd and saw that one of the two sides of the dispute was Bai Qiaoqiao. The other person, in response to Li Mu's thoughts, was Bai Hao'er.

Bai Hao'er grabbed Bai Qiaoqiao's arm and wanted to pull her to the ox cart. There was a hairy boy standing behind him, in a dilemma, shouting "Dad, let go" for a while, and shouting "Sister, go home" for a while.

"What for! Hurry up and let go of this official! Before Li Mu could speak, Li Siwen was already furious, stood forward, and shouted loudly. When Wang Hu and the others saw him come forward, they also gathered around. Bai Hao'er saw these people with big shoulders and round waists, and they were covered with clothes, and she was frightened, so she hurriedly let go of Bai Qiaoqiao's arm, knelt on the ground and kowtowed incessantly, shouting "Master Jun spares his life".

Li Siwen came to Bai Nao'er, pointed at him and scolded: "You old man, I still take care of your business, I didn't expect you to be so bold as to flirt with a woman from a good family in broad daylight, what crime should you be guilty of?" Today, the official will be promoted on the spot, and he will beat you five first, no, he will beat you ten rods first, so as to set an example! ”

As he spoke, Li Siwen asked Wang Hu to fetch the stick. Seeing that she was about to be beaten, Bai Chao'er hurriedly shouted: "Official! Slow your hands! Little old man has something to say! ”

"A hundred pairs of eyes have seen it, what else do you have to say?!"

"Official, there is a reason for this, this woman, she, she is my daughter!"

"Huh?" Li Siwen looked back at Li Mu, Bai Nao'er followed his movements, and also found Li Mu, his eyes widened, he stretched out his finger, and cried: "The official is in charge, it is this thief who abducted my daughter!" ”
