Chapter 638: Preparing for the Event
Ji Wangfu's movements were very fast, and Wang Hongfu quickly came to Mingde Gate with two hundred men who could write.
Li Shimin was also very powerful, and sent 5,000 right military guards to wait for Li Shen's dispatch.
Li Shen stood on top of the city tower and began to arrange the task, and the five thousand right guards divided the people below into several parts.
A phalanx of 1,000 people formed more than twenty phalanxes.
In the middle, there is a right guard separated by a human wall, and the people have a natural fear of officers and soldiers with swords.
So how to arrange how to do it.
Wang Hongfu led the people to move out of the tables and chairs and register them on the spot outside the city.
The people lined up one phalanx after another to register in an orderly manner, and then were arranged to set up temporary shelter in the designated area.
Fortunately, it was already February, although the spring flowers had not yet bloomed, but it had not reached the point of freezing to death, otherwise Li Shen would have to build a house and it would be more troublesome.
The registration speed is not fast, because there are more things registered, name, place of origin, and check the customs clearance documents.
Li Shimin stood there and watched Li Shen give out one instruction after another in an orderly manner.
The grain from King Ji's Mansion was also transported.
The food eaten by tens of thousands of people is nothing to the Ji Wangfu. Li Shen has 200,000 acres of fertile land in Chang'an, and his annual output is astronomical.
"Old ten, how are you going to arrange these people? With almost a month to go until March, are you going to feed them like this? Li Shimin looked at the crowd below and asked.
"Aye, they don't have much dry food with them, and if they don't feed them, they won't be able to do it, they will starve to death.
However, I really can't let them stay here, I will arrange for them to go to Chiling in batches as soon as possible, and make preparations for the construction of the city first. Li Shen also looked at the people below and said.
Can't let them stay outside Chang'an City all the time, the hidden danger is too great, get them to Chiling, dig the foundation first.
Give them a little work.
Moreover, digging the foundation in advance is also convenient for repairing the city wall in the future, and the repair of the city is not just on the flat ground.
The city wall also has to dig the foundation, otherwise whoever digs a tunnel or something in the future will have to pay back a tunnel battle.
Digging the foundation, ramming the land is the foundation.
"Well, you can arrange it, everything is built according to the drawings drawn by Yan Liben, and the courtiers have already seen that picture, there is no problem." Li Shimin nodded.
"Aye, I've seen that picture too, and I think it can be bigger, this time we poured it with cement, and the speed is countless times faster than using stone to build it.
Why not build an important city like Liaodong City?
When the time comes, when the Tibetan people see it, they will be scared, and they can also be scared to death. ”
Li Shen has also seen that picture, Yan Liben is too conservative, the city wall is two meters wide and three zhang high, so there is a fart.
Anyway, it's a matter of scrapping a little more cement,
"An important city like Liaodong City?" Li Shimin was surprised that Liaodong City was already a super-large city.
"Don't worry, Aya, I know in my heart, it's a matter of spending more money, and I'll earn it back in two years when the time comes." Li Shen patted his chest and promised.
"Okay, it's up to you, but you have to do what you can, and if it's really a bit of money, I can lend you some more." Li Shimin said.
Li Shen's eyes widened when he heard Li Shimin say that he would borrow money again, and the surprise in his heart was hard to regenerate, and he wanted to ask, 'Aye, are you terminally ill?' ’
Aren't all TV dramas in previous lives like this? He knew that he was dying before he gave his property to his children.
A man is dying, and his words are good.
"Hmph, what are you staring at, I just want Chiling to be built as soon as possible, remember that the money borrowed from you has to be repaid." Li Shimin snorted, turned around and left to go back to the palace.
Li Shen was stunned and watched his departing father leave, and couldn't help but think in his heart: 'Do you want to borrow some more?' ’
As for what his father said about repaying the money, then he didn't take it to heart at all, as long as I pretended to be poor, I wouldn't pay back.
Li Shen didn't stay here long, he still had to go back to do things.
Back in the palace, Li Shen once again summoned the three giants of the palace to hold an impromptu meeting.
"Ahem~~ I'll say two words first, this.... Everyone must know what is happening outside the Mingde Gate, Lao Wang, your task is very heavy, and you must register the information of these laborers as soon as possible.
Arrange for them to be a team of 1,000 people, do not mess around, edit the number for them, and find them when they are looking for someone.
For those who are not qualified, they are persuaded to go back, and the dry food for going back is from the palace.
Tell them that although they will be paid a lot of money to go to Chiling this time, it will also be dangerous, and they will probably die in a foreign country, so that they can think clearly.
And warned them not to make trouble, and whoever made trouble would go back and make a big fuss and kill their heads. ”
At this time, Li Shen thought that only by using heavy codes could he suppress them.
"Lord Wang, so many people gather outside Chang'an City, if someone deliberately provokes it, it will be unfavorable to the prince.
It's better to find a way to get them out of here, or to go to Chiling now. Wang Xuance said.
"Well, Xuan Ce is right, this king has already thought that a team of 1,000 people will be responsible for escorting supplies and the grain they use, and go to Chiling in batches.
As long as they do not gather, a thousand people will not be able to stir up any storms.
This is up to Rengui to arrange, a team of fifty people in the guard battalion, all equipped with war horses, to take care of the thousand people to go to Chiling.
If someone transfers a civil rebellion in the middle of the way, he will be killed directly.
After arriving, they organized themselves to set up their own camp, and Wang Hongfu sent the people who had been in charge of it to go with them.
No matter what, you can't go wrong, you know? This time the king allowed the dead. ”
What Li Shen fears most is that someone will incite the people to riot, and in the end, it will definitely be these innocent people who will be punished.
"Minister, take the order."
"Lord Wang, what about the cement matter, it's been a month." Wang Hongfu asked.
"Have you found all the people you're looking for?"
"Back to the prince, everything has been notified." Wang Hongfu replied.
"Well, let them go to heaven and earth tomorrow, and this king will personally conduct the bidding." Li Shen nodded.
"Lord Wang, cement alone is not enough, we also need iron, and wood." Wang Hongfu said again.
"You can contact this one, the timber can be transported from the neighboring states and counties, and as for the iron, it seems that this king has to go to the eldest grandson and old thief."
It is impossible for Li Shen to find the family, even if the family sells it to him, the price is very high.
And Li Shen knew that his purchase of such a large amount of iron would increase the price of iron on the market.
"By the way, Lao Wang, send someone to Goguryeo to inform the workshop over there that it can start working, if an official asks, it will be said that it is the property of my Ji Wangfu.
At the same time, the construction of blast furnaces continued, where iron ore is abundant and the reserves are amazing, which can fully meet the needs of Datang.
It's just that it's too far away from Chiling, and the transportation fee may be more expensive than iron. But the cost of shipping to Datang by ship is not so high. ”
Li Shen privately occupied one of the largest iron mines in Goguryeo, and the workshop was built last year, and it has never started.
At the end of the meeting, Li Shen stood up.
"Okay guys, do your job, a bright future awaits us."
Several people also stood up and saluted, and then went about their own business.
