"Tell me to write this, Wang Hu! Later, you will immediately arrange for someone to post it, and then start recruiting people, how much is enough......" Li Siwen frowned, pretended to think for a while, looked at Li Mu again, and asked, "Brother Xian, do you think how much recruitment is enough?" ”

Li Mu felt both funny and speechless, he found that Li Siwen liked to call him a virtuous brother recently, but the two were obviously the same age, and it was not certain who was the virtuous brother, Li Siwen did not disclose his birthday. And as long as he calls him a virtuous brother, he will definitely throw off the pot, without exception, Li Mu is used to it.

"I don't know about this, let Brother Wang arrange it, not too much, not too little. Less is not enough, more we don't have enough money! ”

"Hmm...... That's a problem! Li Siwen thought for a while and asked Wang Hu: "How much do you think is appropriate?" ”

Wang Hu thought for a moment and said, "At least a group of people." ”

When Wang Hu said "a gang", he meant 50 people. The army of the Tang Dynasty took the battalion as the basic unit, and the battalion had five teams, each of which led three groups, each of which led five chiefs, each of whom received ten dings.

"Fifty people ......" Li Siwen pondered for a while, and said: "Now I am in Dingxiang City, in addition to the prisoners are wounded soldiers, it is not easy to recruit fifty young and strong, for today's plan, only in the surrounding counties to recruit Zhangbang, the money is not easy to do, now the money for repairing the city wall, I deducted 20% of the war profits, the court has arranged for the repatriation of the wounded soldiers and logistics divisions, and soon someone will transport the war profits, I don't know how to carry these two percent, and if I take more, I am afraid that I will not be able to explain." After a pause, Li Siwen gritted his teeth and said: "It's really not good, so I will send someone back to Chang'an, find my mother, and ask her to help me sell the land that my father gave me, five hundred acres of land, how can it be worth 1,800 yuan, enough for a while!" ”

Li Mu was stunned when he heard this, it was the first time he had heard that someone was an official who sold his land to make up for it. This is also in the Tang Dynasty, the officials of later generations sold the land of the common people. Compared with them, Li Siwen is really a good official. Li Mu hurriedly stopped: "Lord County Commander, it won't come to this point, don't forget that we still have money in Dingxiang." ”

"Where's the money?" Li Siwen hurriedly asked, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Could it be that there is really a Turkic treasure house here?" ”

"What Turkic treasury?"

"I heard from the people who worked on the construction site, and they said that there were treasures looted by the Turks from the Central Plains buried here!" Li Siwen relish the taste; "It is said that there are 10,000 taels of gold, my good man, whether there are 10,000 taels of gold in His Majesty's private treasury or not, if we dig it, why not enough!"

Li Mu sighed secretly, just thinking that Li Siwen was a good official, and immediately the unreliable side came again, and quickly pulled the words back, and said: "Lord County Commander, I'm not talking about a treasure house, I'm talking about these houses in the city, the shops on South Street, and the mansions on North Street." If you can sell it, it's all money! ”

"I don't know!" Li Siwen patted his thigh and said, "The key is who buys it?" Do you expect the workers on the site to buy? They can't afford to buy half of it for a year. People from the surrounding counties? Didn't you say that other counties wouldn't release people casually, let alone the rich! ”

"My lord!" Every time Li Mu talked to Li Siwen, he felt tired, took a deep breath, and explained: "Soon we will arrange for the wounded soldiers and logistics divisions to return, so that the east and west two squares, north and south two streets, are they all vacant?" Your Majesty also asked us to accept the exiles, these exiles may not necessarily have no money, they may be the Turkic nobles who escaped, or they may be other ethnic groups who saw the defeat of the Turks and belonged to my Tang Dynasty, we can choose some of the rich, and place them in the mansions of the original Turkic nobles on North Street, and at the same time put up for sale the houses in the East and West Second Squares, and auction the shops on South Street, as long as we create a posture that everyone is rushing to want, we don't have to worry about selling at all! ”

Li Siwen nodded while listening, and when Li Mu finished speaking, he said, "I probably understand, the last question!" ”

"What?"

"Who's going to rush for it?"

This is called hearing and understanding?!! Li Mu gritted his teeth and said word by word: "No one wants it, we hire people to create a false image, which is simply a lie!" Make people feel that the house is almost gone, and if they don't buy it, they can't buy it, so they can sell it! ”

"Oh...... I see! Li Siwen looked suddenly enlightened, laughed wickedly, pointed at Li Mu, and said, "There are many eyes, virtuous brother!" Bad enough! Seeing that Li Mu was about to go crazy, Li Siwen hurriedly stopped it and said, "That's it, let's take action, what should we be busy with, I'll go to the construction site to see!" ”

Saying that, he was about to get up and slip away, but Li Mu grabbed him and said, "A large number of people will pour into Dingxiang City soon, and food is the top priority." The grain and grass in the camp are also lost on the way to Chang'an, so it is better to exchange them for money and transport them back, and we will keep these grains. ”

Li Siwen can still understand such a simple truth, and said: "Okay, I'll suspend the grain trucks first, and arrange it later, as long as you can sell the houses in the city before the camp is all evacuated, we have money, and we can keep as much food as we want." ”

The plan has been decided, the three of them left the yamen together, first went to the construction site outside the city to inspect it, and had breakfast by the way, Li Siwen took out the four treasures of the study, wrote down a few notices, Wang Hu sent someone to post it, Li Mu also took a copy, and pasted it at the door of the yamen. Bai Gensheng stayed by Wang Hu's side to do some miscellaneous things for the time being. After posting the notice, Li Mu went to the camp. Find a few team members in charge of the wounded soldiers in the camp and show them the official documents that Li Siwen received. A few people discussed the regulations, divided the wounded soldiers into several classes according to their injuries, the lightly wounded and the seriously injured were accompanied, and then a team was formed with the recovered people, and a hundred people went together, and they were arranged immediately. Li Mu had been busy in the camp until noon, before he finished arranging the process, and in the afternoon, he finally had time to go home. However, Li Mu did not enter the house, but spared it, walked around South Street, and finally chose the first store near the west end, took out a self-made seal from his arms, and pasted it on the door panel.

Sneaking from South Street to the construction site, the people sent by Wang Hu to post notices have returned, and the good news is that they also brought back more than a dozen people, all of whom are young men about the same age as Li Mu. Most of them were in a similar situation to Li Mu at that time, the family was not good, and they were burdened with the responsibility of supporting their families. When Li Mu came over, Wang Hu was training them in the open space next to the construction site, and Bai Gensheng was also among them, each with a wooden stick in his hand, used as a knife, and was practicing the basic moves of the Tang army's foot soldiers. They were all young and strong young men, and their energy was exhausted, and their shouts were very loud, and they were deafening from afar.
