Yan Liben has always cooperated with Ji Wangfu, so Li Shen is still very satisfied with Yan Liben.

Yan Liben's elder brother Yan Lide is more exquisite than Yan Liben, but Yan Lide is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

It is impossible to always have time to work for Li Shen,

This time, Yan Li needed to go to Chiling in person, and the Ministry of Industry was so busy all day, how could he have time to go.

Li Shen came to the Liangyi Hall and found that there was no one, so he asked the eunuch to report and walked into the palace.

"Son, see Aya." Li Shen saluted first.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Li Shimin didn't raise his head, and he was busy these days.

"When I went back to Aya, I came to borrow a person to use for the construction of the city." Li Shen didn't talk nonsense either, and said bluntly.

"You're talking about Yan Liben, yes, I'll let Wang De inform him later." Li Shimin continued to criticize the recitals.

"If you don't have anything to do, go back, I'm very busy right now." Seeing that Li Shen didn't speak, Li Shimin raised his head and said.

"That, Aye, I still want to borrow someone." Li Shen said cautiously.

"Who?" Li Shimin asked.

He can understand borrowing Yan Liben, but why does Li Shen want to borrow someone.

"Aya, you also know that my son doesn't have time to manage the affairs of the important city, so there must be someone to watch the point in Chiling.

Therefore, Er wanted to transfer Ma Duwei Zhou Daowu to Chiling, and replace Er to guard there. ”

Li Shen has thought about this in the past two days, his brother-in-law has been married for more than a year, and he has been mixing in Yulinwei.

His father didn't mean to be promoted, so it was better to follow him to Qinghai Road for gilding, anyway, it would only take a year.

"Hehe, Li Shen, this is your purpose for coming today, are you strange that I haven't promoted my concubine?" Li Shimin sneered.

"Don't dare, Aya, don't hide it, I'm going to build a key city within a year, and I'm going to call 100,000 laborers for this purpose.

Although there are people from my house in charge of guarding, there are too many people, and they also need the cooperation of the generals of the Metropolitan Protectorate.

Otherwise, it is easy for people to revolt, and they want to put one of their own people there.

Aye, you also know that although your son is not in the court, she has made a lot of enemies, and if someone takes this opportunity to stir up trouble and cause a civil uprising, the crime there will be a big crime. ”

Li Shen gave a very reasonable explanation, his popularity in the court was too stinky, and there were many enemies.

He didn't know if anyone would make it bad, you must know that there are many disciples of the family who are middle-level generals in the 50,000 army of the Imperial Protectorate.

Li Shimin thought about it for a while, it is indeed as Li Shen said, and Qinghai Dao is very important to the imperial court, and there is no room for error.

"Okay, then this time, according to your words, I will issue an order to seal Zhou Daowu as the deputy protector, and you will be in charge of the affairs of the capital protector during your absence." Li Shimin said.

Li Shen was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked him and said:

"Thank you, Aye."

"Don't worry about thanking you first, I will satisfy you with everything, but Qinghai Road cannot afford to lose, Chiling is located in an important place,

Since you said that it will be done in one year, then you have to do it, and I can give you some support. ”

Li Shimin is colorful.

Li Shen immediately patted his chest and promised:

"Aye, don't worry, even if my Ji Wangfu smashes pots and sells iron, I will build an important city within a year."

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction, and then waved his hand at Li Shen.

Li Shen immediately bowed down and said goodbye.

What cronyism, let's talk nonsense.

Back in the palace, Li Shen immediately convened a meeting of the three giants to summarize the work of the past few days.

"Lord Wang, the laborers have gathered more than 5,000 people, all of whom are young and strong people selected from poor mountain villas, with a maximum of two per family.

The newspapers have already been distributed, but it is already winter, so it should be the beginning of spring next year.

The newspaper has indicated that they will come to register on March 1, and those with skills will be given priority.

And according to your request, the prince has begun to recruit widows, and the number of widows is currently set at 500. ”

Wang Hongfu began to report on his work, and widows were widows.

"Lord, what are you calling widows for, this is a bit out of line, and the ministers are afraid that it will attract criticism." Wang Xuance asked.

However, looking at his eyes at Li Shen, it was a little weird, the 100,000 male husbands had been working for a long time and were energetic, and King Fei Ji recruited widows to .......

Li Shen glanced at Wang Xuance, he knew what Wang Xuance was asking. So he said angrily:

"Xuan Ce, what kind of eyes are you, can this king do such a dirty thing?

Can your mind not be so shameless.

This king recruits widows to cook for these people, and this king has to let these people eat well when they are full, so that he can have the strength to work for this king, you know a fart. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, I really want to be bad. The prince is highly respected. Wang Xuance hurriedly admitted his mistake.

"There is another thought, and this king understands, that it is very difficult for a widow to want to marry again, and many people dislike it.

Therefore, this king thinks that among the 100,000 laborers, there will definitely be some older men who can't marry wives.

At that time, you can ask the overseer to help introduce you, and if you can promote this, you will have a few children in the future, will the population increase?

Five hundred widows, one born to two, that is a thousand.

Wang Hongfu, you think more about this matter, but if the woman agrees, if anyone comes by force, this king will chop him up and feed him to the wolf, so that he will die without a whole body, do you hear. ”

Li Shen commanded Wang Hongfu again, and Wang Hongfu nodded hurriedly.

"Xuan Ce, you can say it."

"Lord, the minister has already contacted the imperial court, and used a fast horse to inform the states and counties that they should immediately issue customs clearance documents after the identity of the laborers who are going to come to Chang'an are identified.

No excuse may be used to block or demand money.

It was also written in the newspaper that you can go to the branches in various places to report, and whoever stops the prince will be unhappy, and the consequences will be very serious. Wang Xuance reported.

"Well, let me tell you, not only is this king unhappy, but Your Majesty will be even more unhappy, I just came out of the palace,

His Majesty attaches great importance to this matter, and this king has patted his chest and promised to build the Chiling Fortress within a year. That's why this king wants to recruit a hundred thousand laborers,

You must not slack off, and if you do not succeed, do not blame the king for punishing you. Li Shen said to a few people solemnly.

"Within a year?" A few people were surprised,

"Why, 100,000 laborers can't be built?" Li Shen asked unhappily.

"Lord Wang, 100,000 laborers are no problem, but what about the materials? Has the prince ever thought that in which bitter cold place everything needs to be transported?

Transportation is very labor-intensive and material-intensive, Lord Wang, if it is completed in one year, Ji Wangfu may not be able to support such a large expense. Wang Hongfu said bluntly.

Li Shen patted his head, he thought about everything, but what he didn't consider was the material problem.

He thought it would be enough to recruit 100,000 laborers, dig the foundation, and pour cement.

But the fact is that the city wall requires a lot of cement and steel bars, and even if it doesn't use steel bars, it also needs a lot of iron bars.

The productivity of his cement plant simply cannot support such a large project.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Shen finally sighed.

"Alas~~~ It seems that the method of making cement is not going to be saved."
