At this moment, the soldier who was in charge of managing the prince's palace soldiers ran over quickly, and when he saw Li Su standing outside the shed, he immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Yu Wenbiao, see His Royal Highness King Liang!" ”

"Get up!" Li Su opened his mouth and said, he has met this Yu Wenbiao once, he is one of the four soldiers of the palace, the five big and three thick are very vicious, and he looks like a standard soldier.

"Is slavery now on the right track?" After Li Su saw Yu Wenbiao stand up, he asked with a smile. Don't look at this Yu Wen Biao is very rude, but his ability is good, otherwise among the four pawns of the palace, it would not be his turn to be the first to come to the mine to earn extra money. In terms of the management of slaves, Li Su just pointed to a general direction, and all the details had to be perfected by Yu Wenbiao Chapter 66 Xiao Jialai himself.

"Your Highness, the last general has already managed a hundred slaves according to His Highness's orders, each of which is led by the chief, and there are a total of 1,300 slaves in the whole mine, divided into thirteen mining teams, and the remaining guards are responsible for guarding and patrolling the mines." Yu Wenbiao replied. The establishment of the Tang Army is based on ten people as one tithe, one tithe, five tithes as a group, three gangs as a team, and five teams as a battalion, so the tithes are the basic units in the Tang army.

"Well, good job!" Li Su looked at the honest slaves working in the mine, nodded and was very satisfied, and then asked Wen Biao, "By the way, nothing happened in the mine these days, why didn't you see the Zhou Supervisor of the palace?" "In addition to having a guard leader who manages the slaves, the mine also has a steward who is responsible for handling the mine's manpower, accounts, etc., after all, those guards who only know how to fight and kill will not manage the operation of a mine.

"Steward Zhou went to a cement factory today to collect the accounts, and there is nothing major in the mine, except that occasionally nearby villagers accidentally intrude into the area of the mine, and they are all driven away by the patrol." Yu Wenbiao thought for a while and said, but suddenly he thought of something again, and said again, "By the way, recently, because the Xiao family is too popular in Chapter 66 of the Heavens, several of the pro-soldiers have fallen ill, and a few of the slaves who worked have also died, I am worried that the slaves will be infected with the plague, so I asked people to find a place to burn the corpses and the items they used." ”

Li Yu was a little speechless after listening to the other party's words, this Yu Wenbiao really didn't take human life seriously, and the death of a few slaves was actually said at the end, maybe in his opinion, this matter is not as important as the illness of a few pro-soldiers. Li Su can understand the other party's thoughts, because in the eyes of the Tang people, these Tubo slaves are actually an item of the master, and the price is still very cheap, and it is not a matter of dying a few at all. Li Su estimated that if it weren't for the fact that nothing major had happened in the mine, the Dianjun would definitely not even mention it.

"Well, it's okay, it's too hot these days, tomorrow I'll ask the house to send you some ice, and those slaves don't abuse them too much, the food almost doesn't matter, but the drinking water still has to be guaranteed, if there are too many deaths, this king will let you soldiers go up to mine, remember?" Li Su said with grace.

Although the death of the slave made him condemned as a conscience of future generations, Li Su had long been mentally prepared for this kind of thing, after all, what he wanted to do was to step on the coal boss who dug the flesh and blood of coal slaves, not a good hall for giving porridge to people, this kind of thing will happen sooner or later, anyway, they are not Tang people, they have to be like a real Tang people, regard these slaves as talking objects, and don't need to treat them as human beings at all.

Of course, slaves can't die too much, otherwise no one will mine for him, so Yu Wenbiao is asked not to go too far, after all, these soldiers are not good at stubble, and now there is no Geneva Convention, and the abuse of prisoners of war is unavoidable.

"Your Highness, rest assured, the end will use military law to restrain his subordinates, and the guards still want to rely on these slaves to mine to earn bonuses, and they all know the proportions." Yu Wenbiao said with his fists clenched. Li Yu has stipulated that the monthly coal output of the slaves managed by each team of guards can reach a certain amount, and they can get the corresponding bonus, and the higher the output, the more the bonus, these guards can now stare at the promised bonuses and drool, desperately let their slaves mine as much as possible, of course, they also know the truth of fishing with all their might, so they usually try not to abuse the slaves as much as possible.

When Li Yu was inquiring about the mine, Li Shimin in the shed also finished talking to the old man, uh~, to be exact, the old man was going to work, and he didn't have time to chat and fart with Li Shimin here.

After sending the old man out of the shed, Li Shimin came over thoughtfully, glanced at Li Su and said, "Liulang, it's not easy for this grandson, let them change their jobs to an easier one." ”

"The retainers obey!" Li Su hurriedly agreed, in fact, even if Li Shimin didn't say it, Li Su would let people take care of the pair of grandfather and grandson, just now people said a lot of good things about Li Su in the shed, and they didn't even know who opened the mine, but they just praised the benevolence of the mine owner, so that many poor people around could earn extra wages. This made Li Su finally breathe a sigh of relief, it is always a good thing for someone to praise himself, and presumably Li Shimin, who is a father, should also be happy.

"By the way, how many people do you employ in this mine?" Li Shimin was about to get into the carriage, and suddenly turned to Li Su and asked.

As for the details of mine management, the managers of each mine did it themselves, and he really didn't know the number of employees. But fortunately, there is also a Yu Wenbiao next to him, although he is not responsible for hiring people, but he is in the mine every day, he should know something, so Li Su gestured to Yu Wenbiao with his eyes. Yu Wenbiao's attention just now was all on Li Su, and he didn't find that there was a Li Shimin in the shed at all, and he didn't see it until Li Shimin came out, which startled him too, and hurriedly looked around to see if there were any dangerous people, if His Majesty the Emperor had an accident here, it was estimated that the ministers in the palace would be able to eat him raw.

Seeing Li Su's indicative gaze, Yu Wenbiao also immediately understood, and stepped forward to report: "Your Majesty, the Black Stone Mountain Mine employs a total of more than 100 people, most of whom are young men who are responsible for loading, unloading and handling, and there are also some women from poor families, who are responsible for cooking, boiling water, etc., and the other mines employ fewer people than here, but there are two or three hundred people in total. ”

"Well, a few mines employ four hundred people, and counting the families behind them, the population they feed is estimated to be about two thousand......" Li Shimin stopped when he said this, frowning as if thinking about something, and after a while he said to Li Su, "Liulang, you have done a great good." After Li Shimin finished speaking, he got into the carriage without looking back.

Seeing that Li Shimin was about to go back, Li Jingheng and Li Zhi hurriedly followed, but Li Su was full of confusion, and he couldn't understand why the emperor's father ran to the coal mine on a whim, and after he came, he just looked around, chatted with an old man, and then boasted that he was ready to go back?

Although his mind was full of question marks, Li Su was not easy to ask, so he could only follow the carriage, but Li Jingheng seemed very relaxed at this time, and his fat face was full of smiles and squeezed around Li Shimin and said: "Uncle, in fact, the little nephew opened a coal mine in Luoyang, and although the people hired are not as good as Liulang, there are hundreds of people, which is also a good thing, right?" ”

Looking at this cheeky nephew who begged for praise, Li Shimin smiled slightly, turned his head and glanced at Li Su who was getting into the carriage again, and then whispered to him a clueless word: "You are really bold enough, are you not afraid of the punishment of the elders in the family?" ”

Li Jingheng was stunned, of course he knew what he was doing, and he also understood what Li Shimin's words meant, but they did it on purpose to let Li Shimin know. It's just that what he didn't expect was that now His Majesty the Emperor actually told that incident in front of him, which made him a little overwhelmed at this time.

Seeing Li Jingheng's smile frozen on his face, Li Shimin laughed, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'm not so stingy, Liulang has made you good friends." ”

Li Shimin spoke and laughed very loudly, attracting the attention of Li Su and Li Zhi, but for Li Shimin's last unmindful words, Li Su and Li Zhi were very confused, and they didn't know what their father was laughing at?

When Li Shimin went back, he seemed to be very leisurely, and he was not in a hurry to run away, and the carriage was much more stable, but at this time it was just more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun in the sky seemed to want to roast people, and when they returned to Chang'an, they were all sweating profusely, and hurriedly rushed to the cold drink shop to sit down, and everyone ate a lot of cold drinks, which was much cooler.

sat in the cold drink shop until it was almost dark, and then Li Shimin let Li Su and Li Jingheng leave, but when he was leaving, he asked the store to prepare a lot of different styles of cold drinks for him, which were served in a huge ice box, and brought them back to the palace in person, saying that he would let Empress Changsun, Concubine Yang and other princes and princesses also taste it.

Hearing this, Li Su felt ashamed, he was busy with his head during this time, and after making these cold drinks of ice cream, he didn't bother to send some to his mother Concubine Yang.

After saying goodbye to Li Shimin, Li Jingheng had to send Li Su back to his house, although the two palaces were not in the same place, but they were also on the way, and Li Su did not refuse, but on the way, Li Jingheng said a lot of inconsequential words, and he didn't know what he wanted to say?

Finally returned to the palace and said goodbye to Li Jingheng, Li Su just walked to the gate of the palace, but found that a carriage was parked in front of the mansion, and looking at the mark on the carriage, it seemed to be Xiao Yu, the prince of Song Guo, that is, Li Su's future princess-to-be Xiao Wenxin and their family's carriage, now that it is so late, how can someone from the Xiao family come to find him? And looking at the specifications of this carriage, the status of the person who came to the Xiao family is not low, who will this be?!!!
