Lu Yan didn't leave that day, but stayed in the middle of the mountain, anyway, he didn't have to go to the court, just let him play with his temperament. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

According to Lu Yan's instructions, Meng Yi counted all the slaves used, and as long as he could report his name, he would register them all and remove the status of slaves.

After these were resolved, Lu Yan was in a good mood, and immediately walked back and forth between the mausoleums in his regular clothes, and Kui Lin specially arranged four soldiers for Lu Yan just in case.

Not only mausoleums, but also various places often appear in the phenomenon of people or slaves attacking officials, which Kui Lin is deeply aware of, so he is quite cautious in doing things.

Walking to the mound in the mountains, Lu Yan saw an old man and a young man working, the old man was carrying a bamboo basket, and the young man kept piling loess in the basket.

The sweat on his forehead was very fine, and the old man was a little inconvenient to move, so the young man supported the old man from behind, and the two staggered towards the hill.

Lu Yan just stood there and watched, and after a while, the two walked over from the opposite side talking and laughing, probably not finding Lu Yan when they left, and when the old man came back, he saw Lu Yan and immediately became respectful.

"Grandpa, who is that person?" The young man said a little immaturely, his face was sallow, he was only eleven or twelve years old, and the guards next to him saw the young man pointing at Lu Yan, and they were about to rush over, but Lu Yan waved his hand and a few people did not have a seizure.

"Don't talk nonsense, get to work." The old man said with some scolding, and at the same time smiled at Lu Yan, the young man looked at Lu Yan with some puzzlement, and his heart was full of questions.

Lu Yan walked a few steps towards the mound again, "What nationality are you from, and how long have you been here?" Lu Yan said very kindly, trying to show a very indifferent look.

The old man immediately put down the bamboo basket in his hand, and at the same time knelt down with the child next to him, "Our children and grandchildren are from the Great Liang of Wei State, and they have been here for three years. The old man said very respectfully.

Lu Yan nodded, and the young man glanced at Lu Yan, "Grandpa, why can he stand there so cleanly, but we have to be like this." "There was a lot of grievance between the words.

"Don't make a mistake!" The old man said that he was going to beat the boy, but fortunately Lu Yan grabbed his arm, "The child is small and ignorant." Lu Yan said in a low voice.

The young man didn't dare to look up at all, "I'm dressed so cleanly, just because I was born in the right place, if I am in Daliang, I will be no different from you, and I will die." Lu Yan said with a sigh.

Lu Yan looked up at the huge mausoleum, and his heart was also sad, and then he waved his hand to the guards under him, "Cross out their names, let them go, and send a few clothes by the way." ”

The old man looked at Lu Yan a little blankly, and the guard next to him was even more puzzled, "Childe, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, what do you say when Lord Kui comes here in a while?" The guard whispered.

"Just say that I put it, it's possible that Kui Fengchang will eat me." Lu Yan said impatiently, and the guards next to him were afraid that Lu Yan would have a seizure, so they had to let the grandfather and grandson go.

"Obey the order, and do it next." The two guards immediately led an old man and a young man out of the place where the mausoleum worked, changed their outfits, and arranged for them to return to the girder.

After this incident, Lu Yan also thought for a while, and then walked towards other places, Lu Yan found that in addition to the two who were sent away, there were still many old men and young people here.

It turned out that not only the people of Linzi were transferred to eleven years old, but there were also places in the capitals of the six countries such as Daliang, Xinzheng, and Handan, otherwise there would not be so many children.

Lu Yan turned around, his heart was very depressed, because of the cold winter, Kui Lin had been staying in the wooden house, so there were some things he didn't care about.

Seeing Lu Yan walking in from the outside, his face was not right, and he immediately handed over tea, although Kui Lin's official position was Fengchang, the head of Jiuqing, he still treated Lu Yan very respectfully.

The reason is very simple, Lu Yan also has an official position, that is, Taifu, although Kui Lin is old, but his children and grandchildren will still serve Daqin, then Lu Yan will definitely rise to the top in the future, and it is absolutely right to make friends.

"Ziyujun, could it be that you have encountered something else?" Kui Lin said slowly.

"Lord Fengchang, you are really hard-hearted." Lu Yan was a little helpless, Kui Lin just sat on the chair and looked at Lu Yan a little blankly.

"It's not that we are hard-hearted, but Ziyu is too compassionate, such as building palaces and mausoleums, some people must be whipped, otherwise they won't work hard." Kui Lin said very understandingly.

Lu Yan didn't speak, and took a sip of tea slightly, as if he was contemplating something, and Kui Lin also sat aside when he saw this, squinting his eyes slightly.

"Lord Fengchang, you said that there are 15,000 people here, I don't know how many soldiers there are?" Lu Yan looked at Kui Lin and said mysteriously.

Kui Lin was startled for a moment, and hurriedly straightened his body, "Ten people and one soldier, plus other things, there are about two thousand soldiers, that's all." ”

"It's a waste for two thousand soldiers to just watch the people take care of people, so it's better to let them go in and work, and the other people under the age of sixteen and over the age of sixty should be sent home." Lu Yan said slowly.

Kui Lin frowned slightly when he heard what Lu Yan said, "In this case, four or five thousand people may be lost, but how can two thousand people make up for it." ”

"Lord Fengchang, do you think one soldier can't withstand two old and weak?" Lu Yan said with a very proud face.

Kui Lin just waved his hand, "I can't take care of this matter, you can do it yourself." While speaking, Meng Yi was busy for a day and finally finished registering.

Entering the wooden house, he hurriedly drank a cup of weak tea, "What is Ziyu discussing with Fengchang again?" Meng Yi said loudly.

Lu Yan felt that it was more reliable to hand over the matter to Meng Yi's office, so he immediately poured out the cold tea that Meng Yi had not finished, replaced it with a cup of hot tea, and served it himself.

"Ziyu is so respectful, won't she have any hands and feet?" Meng Yi took the hot tea and looked at Lu Yan with some suspicion.

"That's true, I want to send all the people under the age of sixteen and over the age of sixty home, and then make up for it with soldiers, I know that Meng Shangqing will definitely not shirk for the country, and I hope that Shangqing will solve this matter as soon as possible." Lu Yan said slowly.

Before Meng Yi could speak, he pushed the whole matter to him, "I'm afraid of this matter." ”

"Shangqing is absolutely okay, you and I are both working for the empire, and it is only right to preserve the foundation of the empire, if the construction period is delayed, Ziyu will take care of it alone, and it will definitely not affect Shangqing." Lu Yan hurriedly said, not giving Meng Yi a chance to speak at all.

Meng Yi was at a loss by Lu Yan's words, so he had to nod his head and agree, Kui Lin next to him looked idle, whatever Lu Yan did, he didn't care about it anyway.
