Li Shen watched the hillside for a while, and a guard ran over to report:

"Lord Wang, Captain Du Ma and Liu Su are here."

"Let them come." Li Shen didn't look back.

In a moment, two people walked over, one in battle armor and the other in gray.

"Your Royal Highness King Ji."

"The villain sees His Royal Highness King Ji." The two saluted.

"Well, it's all gone," Li Shen turned around, smiled, and said amiably to the two.

At this moment, Li Shen is wearing a royal suit, tall and handsome, but his body is a little thin, not as powerful as others.

It's a little bit weak.

Li Shen has reached the age of eighteen, and his height should be more than one meter eight when calculated by later generations, and he inherited his height and face of Concubine Wei.

This is also what Li Shen feels fortunate about.

"You've worked hard here." Li Shen greeted first.

"The prince has worked hard all the way. That's what we're supposed to do. The two hurriedly replied.

"You don't have to be humble, Liu Su, let's talk about the construction first." Li Shen asked at Liu Su.

Liu Su is the chief worker sent here, responsible for supervising and scheduling issues.

When Liu Su heard Li Shen ask, he immediately sorted out his thoughts and replied:

"Back to the prince, the foundations on both sides have been dug at present, and the north and east sides have not been dug yet, and they are digging with all their might."

"To speed up the progress, the materials are currently being delivered, and this king hopes that by the time the materials arrive, the foundation has been dug up." Li Shen frowned, it had been nearly three months.

"Yes, the villain will hurry up to work." Liu Su agreed in a low voice.

"What is the situation with the laborers, is there anything going on?" Li Shen asked again.

"Qi Yu Wangye, according to the prince's will, if the laborer is unwell, let him rest, and take the wine brewed by the prince,

But.... But..."Liu Su said, this is a bit of a mouthful.

Li Shen's voice sank:

"But what?"

"The prince forgives the sin, the villain has arranged for the unwell to rest, and sent a doctor to see a doctor, but some people still died." Liu Su replied a little timidly.

"Huh?? Dead? How many people died? Li Shen's eyes widened, what he didn't want was a dead man.

"Lord Wang, more than forty people died."

"Bastard dog slave~~!!" Li Shen kicked Liu Su to the ground, and Liu Su was so frightened that he prostrate on the ground and didn't dare to get up.

"It's only been three months since you've been here, and you've killed more than forty people. What do you do as a steward?

This king has already told you that you must pay attention to the condition of the laborers, and if you can't do it, don't do it, 100,000 people, do we send one or two people not to work? Li Shen was a little angry, these people trusted him, and followed him all the way to this place.

Isn't it just to be able to make a little more money so that I can go home and live a good life?

Otherwise, who would have left their homeland so far,

But it's only been three months for people to throw their lives here, which can't be justified.

"The villain is guilty, the villain is guilty."

"Lord Wang, you can't blame Liu Su for this, and 100,000 people can't be exhaustive, it's better to give him another chance and let him make meritorious contributions."

Wang Xuance saw the opportunity to stand up and persuade.

"Hmph, you dog slave, this time Wang Changshi intercedes for you, this king spares you once, if there is a next time, you will go to the funeral with them." Li Shen just lost his temper.

As Wang Xuance said, how can 100,000 people be taken care of.

If you don't work, you won't be paid, and many people will hide that they are unwell and force themselves to work.

Don't ask why you don't take paid time off.

Li Shen didn't miss the wages of 100,000 people, but he didn't want to encounter the things that happened when he built the road a few years ago.

At this time, Wang Xuance spoke:

"Steward Liu, if the shopkeeper Wang can send you here, it must be something special about you. At this time, the shopkeeper Wang gave you an opportunity, and I hope you will take advantage of it.

The prince has a good heart and doesn't want to see someone die, so you should pay attention to this aspect in the future, and it is understandable that the construction period is a little slower. Do you understand? ”

"Yes, yes, the villain understands, the villain understands." Liu Su hurriedly agreed.

"Get up, have you dealt with the corpse?" Li Shen asked coldly.

"Back to the prince, the corpse capital has been dealt with by the doctor who came with him, and the materials that are not available have been bought back.

I'm about to send them back to their hometown. ”

"Well, you write to Wang Hongfu and ask him to personally supervise this matter, according to the previous agreement, each person will pay 500 yuan for settling in.

Tell Wang Hongfu that the king said that he should personally supervise it, if there is a mistake in the middle and there is a penny missing, he Wang Hongfu will go home to farm. ”

This is Li Shen's bottom line, you can be greedy for my money, but you can't be greedy for the money you get back in exchange for your life.

He believed that when Wang Hongfu heard this, even if the money was lost, Wang Hongfu would pay for the settlement fee himself.

This guy's annual dividends in the palace are as high as more than ten or two hundred thousand.

After Liu Su heard it, he nodded again and again.

Li Shen no longer paid attention to him, but turned to Zhou Daowu, and the anger on his face turned into a smile.

"Daowu, is there anything you are not used to here. Are there any physical discomforts? ”

"......." saw that Li Shen had changed so quickly, Zhou Daowu was stunned, and he also felt a little speechless, this brother-in-law turned his face faster than a book.

No wonder Her Royal Highness the princess asked him to learn more from this younger brother,

If you learn the tactfulness of King Ji, you will not be excluded in the officialdom in the future.

"Thank you for your concern, there is nothing unwell in the minister's body. And the minister is still used to it here. Zhou Daowu replied.

"That's good, you must not have anything to do, otherwise this king will not be able to go back to Chang'an City." Li Shen said jokingly.

"The prince laughed." Zhou Daowu felt that Li Shen was not good like this, and some people had already said that he was a relation.

When he was a child, he was fostered in the palace by Li Shimin, Li Shimin loved it very much, and when he grew up, he went back to inherit the family business.

returned the princess,

The most important thing is that there is also a rich brother-in-law, King Ji.

was promoted from a captain of the guard to the deputy capital of the Metropolitan Guard, obviously through the back door.

"Daowu, you can also talk about the situation in the army." Li Shenyan asked back to the truth.

"Yes, the army is now divided into three parts, 20,000 men in the west, 20,000 in the northeast, and 10,000 men watching the laborers here.

One is to guard against Tibet, and the other is to guard against the Western Turks. Zhou Daowu said.

Li Shen nodded, this arrangement is a normal arrangement, and it is decent. However, Li Shen said to Zhou Daowu:

"Daowu, there is nothing wrong with your arrangement, but in fact, it doesn't have much effect, whether it is the Western Turks or Tibetans,

If they come to attack, they will definitely not have a small number of troops, and when the time comes, the disparity in strength will be huge, and it will be easy for them to break through.

If they are caught between two sides, we are even more passive. You don't say that's the truth. ”
