Each beggar brought more branches to the best of his ability, and these branches ...... Almost all of them meet the conditions taken out by the cooking squad leader, at least one meter seven or eight in length, relatively straight.

There were a few beggars who were stronger and younger, and they carried a large bundle, and one of them was very fierce, but he carried a lot.

And a lot of little beggars, they don't take much, but everyone also tries to take as much as they can.

Even some children, who are too young to be able to drag a branch, are trying to drag some small branches.

These cooking squad leaders looked at this, and their faces didn't show anything, but they felt quite a lot in their hearts.

They all thought of what the commissar had said before.

Your kindness to others is like a piece of candy, after eating it, there is nothing left, and that aftertaste is quickly forgotten. But if you cause harm to others, it's like a scar, and even if the wound is healed, it will leave a permanent scar that will not heal.

That's human nature.

These beggars have countless scars, so they only understand the preciousness of sugar after eating it.

Even some of the more vicious people among these beggars are like this, but of course their ferocity is not necessarily a disguise.

After all, in this era, as long as there is a choice, no one wants to be a beggar.

"Thank you, just put things here, and we'll hire someone to put them into the ground to fence this place later, so we need more branches, please help as much as you can every day."

"But because this job is relatively easy, we don't give much treatment, three meals a day, and we are full." A cooking squad leader said with a smile.

He showed no other emotions from beginning to end, as if they were just a bunch of ordinary people, but the beggars were silent, because for them ...... In the eyes of others, they are all stinky and begging for food.

Even passing by them, you have to cover your nose and walk a few quick steps, let alone talk to them so equally.

What's more, the other party didn't mention any leftovers, but directly said to take care of the rice.

It may seem like it makes no difference, but in reality, it means that they are working hard to support themselves, not ...... Pick up garbage and pick up leftovers to eat.

The difference is too great.

Naturally, these beggars agreed one after another. No one knew what they thought, but after lunch, and when it was time for dinner to deliver the branches, the cooks found that almost most of the beggars had gone to the river to bathe.

Although their clothes were still worn, and even stained, they were much cleaner than before.

Even if there are some broken places, try to wrap them with some strips of cloth, weeds, etc.

The hair and face have obviously been washed, and the hair is haphazardly wrapped up with wood and tied in a bun.

I don't know how much the smell on my body has dissipated than before, if I knew they were beggars when I saw them before, then when I see them now, you will think that they are refugees, not beggars.

The two sides maintained a tacit understanding, but just like Xue Rengui said, no one pays attention to these beggars, no one cares, and their sense of existence is very weak, but it does not mean that they have no influence.

They all changed silently by themselves, and naturally countless people next to them noticed these beggars, also noticed the changes in them, and more importantly, noticed the attitude and practices of the Tang soldiers towards these beggars.

They don't understand the big truths, but they can empathize with them.

In fact, most of the people are kind, those adults and beggars are fine, and those beggars usually want to help, but sometimes it is really difficult for them themselves.

If you give them food, maybe your children will go hungry, so you can only refuse with a hard heart.

But it doesn't mean that they can really turn a blind eye with a calm face, because they all know very well how these beggars were born, many of them are refugees, fleeing famine and other reasons.

Put yourself in their shoes, if they encounter such a situation, they also want someone to treat them like a Datang soldier.

Then again, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty can treat these beggars so politely and talk, let alone treat them?

Therefore, there are more people who come to sign up, not to mention, and they continue to call friends, more and more people join here, and many people around Jincheng heard that they were working here, and they all came.

When the situation in Silla was on the right track, in Chang'an at this moment, Li Ke was looking at Li Shimin in front of him with some confusion.

"Dad, what do you mean by that?" Li Ke was a little speechless.

"It's not interesting, your current title, status and so on, there is no room for rewards, but you can't really not reward you, the merits you have made in the past year are too great."

"It's unjustifiable not to be rewarded, because it's not only about you, but also about other ministers of the Tang Dynasty who have made meritorious contributions, if you don't want to reward at all, then how can these ministers, generals, and the like, have the face to be rewarded?"

"So, no matter what the reason, you have to accept a reward, and I also know your character, what title, official position you are not interested in, I can only reward you with some land."

"I know you like to play, these lands are allocated to you for free, you can build your own Zhuangzi, don't you just like to build Zhuangzi in various places? I've heard that you've built Qinwangzhuang in those places in Guangzhou. ”

"Go on, meet your own ideas, you will have a place to go if you want to visit in the future, and it can be regarded as a contribution to the local area, you said it yourself, if you spend money to hire people to work, it will be a good thing for the local area." Li Shimin said lightly.

Li Ke: "......"

He was a little speechless, it turned out to be like this.

But think about it, what Li Shimin said is also reasonable, sometimes rules are rules, and you can't just because you don't lack these three melons and two dates.

Because you don't want it, some people want it, but you are above them, if you don't want it, they can't open this hand.

In the long run, it will be all complaints, and it may even lead to deep contradictions.

So Li Ke nodded helplessly and said, "That's okay, Erchen took it." Father, you can reward you whatever you want. ”

"In this way, at the foot of Wuyue Mountain, the best location, you will be rewarded with a thousand acres of land, you go to build it yourself, do you think there is any other place?" Li Shimin looked at Li Ke and asked.

Li Ke: "......"

Fortunately, you only gave me a thousand acres of land at the foot of Wuyue Mountain, instead of directly assigning all Wuyue to me.

"It's all five mountains, otherwise you will include Huangshan, Lushan, and Fanjing Mountain." Li Ke said helplessly.

"Oh? I know Huangshan Lushan, where is Fanjing Mountain? Li Shimin asked with some curiosity.
