Chapter 1171: Tomb Repair
In the cemetery of Beibi Mountain, thousands of people are busy under the command of officials, although this cemetery is not as large as the imperial mausoleum, but because there are too many people to bury, so the whole project is not small, Li Xiu was worried about the shortage of manpower, but he did not expect that many families of former Sui soldiers heard about this matter, and took the initiative to run to hope that they could contribute to their relatives.
For the mood of these people, Li Xiu can also understand, so in the end he also agreed to them, of course, some older people will definitely not come, so he selected some young people to work in the cemetery, some of the people who failed to pick are still a little dissatisfied, from time to time to come to the cemetery to volunteer to help, and even some older people often come to send a lot of food, it can be said that there is money to contribute, Li Xiu estimates that in the end his budget will be a lot richer.
The mausoleum of the joint burial is not too exquisite, and there is no need to dig the underground palace like the rich and noble, but it can't be too hasty, especially the families of those Sui army soldiers and soldiers, who have more requirements than Li Xiu, although they can't all be satisfied, but since they have agreed to participate in the construction of the cemetery, Li Xiu also tries his best to satisfy everyone.
"Guogong, the tomb pit on the east side has been excavated, and the lower officials have already checked it, it completely meets our requirements, as long as Guogong is satisfied, we can immediately bury some of the bones in the tomb!" On this morning, when Li Xiu was inspecting the construction site, he saw Yang Huai, who had joined the army, come to report to him again.
Hearing that the tomb on the east side was completed, Li Xiu was also overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Great, let's go and have a look, speaking of which, the bones of the soldiers have been waiting outside for too long!" ”
At that moment, Li Xiu and Yang Huai came to the tomb pit on the east side, the whole tomb pit was very narrow and long, like an arm, protecting the mausoleum of the Tang army soldiers in the middle, which was also Li Xiu's design at the beginning, and now the tomb has been built, and the strong men who work have also been transferred to other tombs to work.
Li Xiu entered the tomb along the ramp next to the tomb, only to see that the ground was covered with a thick layer of Sanhe soil, and smashed it with a boulder to prevent the water vapor from rising up, and the water in the tomb was an unlucky thing for the funeral customs of the Central Plains.
Li Xiu personally walked around the entire tomb, and finally found that whether it was the specifications of the construction or the shape and size, they were very much in line with his original requirements, which made him nod with satisfaction, and then praised Yang Huai, "Not bad, Yang Sihu, you have worked hard, and after this incident, the national prince must praise you to your boss, with your ability, a mere Sihu is really too much!" ”
Hearing Li Xiu's praise, Yang Huai couldn't help but feel flattered, and hurriedly said a few words of modesty, but he was also very excited in his heart, speaking of which, with his ability, he should have been promoted a long time ago, just because he had a bit of a kinship with the former Sui royal family, which delayed his career, but if the Duke of Yan Guo in front of him could shirk himself, then no one would dare to embarrass himself anymore.
"Bell bell bell ~" At this time, suddenly there was a crisp knocking sound on the construction site, and then someone shouted "Dinner", which made the whole cemetery lively, and the strong men who worked also dropped the tools in their hands and ran quickly to the place to eat.
Li Xiu was also hungry at this time, and he also came to the place to eat with Yang Huai at the moment, in fact, this is a simple shed, you can cook in the back, and you can eat in the open space in front.
Li Xiu doesn't like to be special, but in addition to him in the cemetery, Ma Ye and Qin Qiong are also here, and even Ping An Lang and Li Zhi and Di Renjie also came, mainly because the people working on the construction site inevitably have a headache and brain fever, and sometimes they may be injured if they are not careful, so Ping An Lang acted as a doctor to ensure everyone's health, while Li Zhi and Di Renjie were purely for Ping An Lang, and now the two of them have also learned a lot of things, such as being able to know hundreds of medicines, and Ping An Lang can also rest assured that he can give them the medicine he usually grabs.
It is precisely because there are elderly people and children that Li Xiu deliberately opened a small stove to be responsible for the diet of these people, in fact, this is also a good thing, after all, with their identity, if they really eat with ordinary people, it will make others feel unnatural.
When Li Xiu came to his place to eat, he found that Ping An Lang and several other children had already started eating, after all, the children were young and it was the time when they were growing their bodies, so they were easily hungry, so Li Xiu specially ordered them not to wait for him. And in addition to the three Ping'an Lang, there is also a five or six-year-old boy who eats with them, and there is an old woman next to him, who is helping Ma Ye and others to set up meals.
The old woman's surname is Liu, and her husband's surname is Xu, so others call her Xu Liu, and her great-grandson's name is Xu Kang, and her nickname is Worm, because folklore says that the cheaper the child's name, the easier it is to feed, and Xu Liu's name to his great-grandson is the word "Kang", and it is estimated that he hopes that his great-grandson can grow up healthy and healthy.
Although Xu Liu's is old, but he burns a good meal, according to her, she was also from a large family when she was young, so she specialized in cooking, and many years of poor life also made her particularly good at farm food, even if it is a very ordinary material, it can be made very delicious in her hands, Li Zhi has been tired of eating the delicacies of the mountains and seas in the palace, so she likes the dishes made by Xu Liu's very much.
"Sir, let's finish eating and go play!" As soon as Li Xiu came in, he saw Li Zhi throw away his job, and then he pulled Ping'an Lang and the three of them to run out, during this time he was also crazy, after all, the scenery here in Beibi Mountain is good, and no one cares about him, so he also runs into the mountains every day, and from time to time he can bring back a few hares that he caught to fight a dozen tooth sacrifices.
"Don't go too far!" Li Xiu didn't have time to take care of Li Zhi and them, so he nodded and said at the moment, anyway, the vicinity was cleared by the army, there were no fierce beasts at all, and there were guards following, so Li Xiu was not worried about Li Zhi and their danger.
Li Zhi and the others agreed, and then ran away, Xu Liu also set the meal at this time, and then bowed to Li Xiu and retreated, Ma Ye and Qin Qiong also beckoned Li Xiu to sit down, but just as Li Xiu was about to eat, he suddenly remembered something, so he said to Ma Ye: "Uncle Ma, I have something I want to discuss with you!" ”
