It is said that Su Lie rectified the 10,000 war horses, sent his own deputy general to escort them, and sent 500 soldiers and hundreds of soldiers sent by Shuozhou Mansion to send 10,000 war horses back to Chang'an. \ However, three days after the people he sent out left, the original uncle of his family, that is, Su Zhen, came to the door.
"Uncle, why are you here" Originally, this uncle of the family, Su Lie was very respectful, and when he heard the report from his subordinates, he hurriedly greeted him from the camp and took the old man into the Chinese army at the gate of the camp.
"It's not for our aunt's business."
Su Zhen sighed and sat down on the guest seat of Su Liezhong's military tent with a sad face.
"What's wrong with that kid Mu Yun" Su Lie frowned, and said with a slightly strange expression: "Isn't that kid busy with his father-in-law's gambling king tournament during this time?"
"Yes, he's busy with that, or maybe I'm an old fellow coming to you."
Su Zhen said angrily.
After listening to Su Zhen's words, Su Lie remembered that he didn't seem to know his intentions, so he inquired: "By the way, uncle, you haven't said anything yet." ” This time, Su Zhen didn't go around in circles, and said directly: "Looking for you to borrow some soldiers, our aunt will transport five million catties of cement to Chang'an." ” As soon as he heard that he had to transport five million catties of cement to grow, Su Lie was furious at that time, glared and said, "Why are you transporting things, is he using Lao Tzu as his transport captain?"
Five million catties of cement, that's not fifty catties, even if it's two thousand catties a cart, that's two thousand five hundred carts, and the horses or oxen that pull the cart alone cost thousands, not counting the chauffeur.
In addition, if you want to transport cement, why do you say it early, now what is going on, 10,000 war horses have already been shipped, now where can I find big animals Su Lie is so angry, if Li Muyun sits here, Lao Su will have his heart.
No wonder this kid sent Su Zhen, the old man, over, but he hid in the cottage, I guess he felt empty-hearted.
Su Lie thought so, on the side of the cottage, Li Muyun sat comfortably on the rocking chair, two pieces of steamed buns were baked on the stove beside him, and Su Wanqing was sitting beside him, embroidering something.
For this last wife who has been on the battlefield and in the kitchen, Li Muyun is really satisfied now, he has been a grandson outside for a whole year, and now he can finally have a wife and children to warm the kang head, which can be regarded as getting what he wants.
However, it seems that it is still a little early to think about his wife and children, although he and Su Wanqing have established a relationship, they are always not married, and children or something is even more shadowless, everything only exists in imagination.
"Mu Yun, are you really good like this, big brother is afraid that I don't know what to be angry about."
Su Wanqing seemed to remember something, suddenly put down the embroidery work in her hand, looked at Li Muyun and asked.
"It's okay, but it's just to let the eldest brother send a few people, and not let the eldest brother personally escort it, don't worry" Li Muyun squinted his eyes, looked at the beam above his head and said nonchalantly.
"Then why didn't you bring up this matter a few days ago, in that case, wouldn't you be able to use those war horses to carry the luck," Su Wanqing continued to ask.
"Didn't I forget it a few days ago" Li Muyun blinked innocently and sat up straight: "But fortunately, we still have a lot of cattle now, we can use ox carts to transport them, and when we get to Chang'an, we will sell the cattle again, and the cost will be recovered." ” "It's always you who have a point," Su Wanqing glared at Li Muyun with disgust.
The girl was outgoing, she didn't realize that Su Lie actually had no troops to send, if he sent someone to transport cement, it was estimated that he would not even have 1,500 people left, how could such a small number of people complete the task of guarding the border, not to mention that he was now responsible for guarding more than 10,000 prisoners of war.
But fortunately, Li Muyun's kid still has a little conscience, and he sent someone again within a day, this time it was Xue Yantuo who came to find Su Lie, and the Han name was Xue Yi, that is, the commander who was deceived and coaxed to surrender by Li Muyun at the beginning.
"General Su, the villain was ordered by the young master to pick people."
After Xue Yi saw Su Lie, he was very scared, as if Lao Su could eat people.
But in fact, it is true, since Su Lie took two hundred horsemen straight into the Jieli Tooth Tent, his great name has spread on the grassland, and he can almost stop the night cry of children, no worse than Huo Hu's cavalry back then.
"Pick someone and pick someone" Su Lie looked at Xue Yi, who looked like a mud monkey, and asked suspiciously.
"Oh, that's right, we have a construction team in the cottage, which is dedicated to repairing houses and roads, isn't this going to Chang'an to repair the palace after the beginning of spring, we don't have enough manpower, so let's pick some people to supplement the manpower."
Xue nodded and explained.
Su Lie roughly guessed what Xue Yi was talking about, but he was still a little unsure, so he continued to ask: "Are you going to pick someone among the prisoners of war?"
"Ah, yes, yes, that's it, it doesn't take too much, two thousand people do."
Gong nodded quickly.
Now he is much more comfortable than before, since the day he became a contractor, he has fallen in love with this profession.
The first point is that there is no risk in this industry, there is no need to fight, although it is boring to deal with sand and cement every day, it is better than licking blood with a knife, there is no tomorrow today.
The second is a sense of achievement, in the past, he was only responsible for sabotage, burning, killing and looting, and doing all kinds of evil, but now it is different, watching a house rise from the ground under his command, that sense of accomplishment is not ordinarily strong.
At least he can say to his children in the future: You see, these houses were built by Lao Tzu, and without Lao Tzu, the turtles could only sleep in grass nests.
But if it wasn't before, he couldn't tell his children: Look, this land was burned by Lao Tzu, how many women and how many children Lao Tzu robbed here back then.
Also, this is Datang, not the broken place where birds don't on the grassland.
There are beautiful women, there are exquisite cuisines, and as long as you have money, you can get everything.
Speaking of which, I have to say that Xue Yi's favorite thing is that he has money to make doing projects now, although it is not a lot, but it is enough for him to ask for a wife in Datang.
No, there is a matchmaker who is contacting him these days, the other party is the daughter of a businessman in the county, although she is not as beautiful as a fairy, but she is much stronger than a rough prairie woman.
Thinking that he was going to meet the woman introduced by the matchmaker tomorrow, Xue Yi felt enthusiastic, and looked at Su Lie and was not so afraid, after all, he was the boss's eldest brother, and he was not an outsider.
So this guy smiled, nodded and continued to Su Lie: "General Su, look, the buildings in our village are all built by us, and the cement is a unique product in our county, and there may be more and more projects in the future, so our construction team will definitely become larger and larger, and there will be more and more personnel." ” "What the hell do you want to say" Su Lie looked at this Xue Yantuo who didn't look like a Xue Yantuo person at all, and asked a little impatiently.
"General, I mean, can you help, when you usually take care of those prisoners of war, identify them, those who are more obedient and those who have a poor sense of resistance will be isolated, these people are the potential labor force of our engineering team in the future, and they can't be polluted by those who are bent on opposing Datang."
Xue Yi's words were sincere, and Su Lie, who listened to it, couldn't cry or laugh, and said in his heart that you are a Xue Yantuo person, tell Lao Tzu this, especially isn't this Xue Rape.
But after thinking about it again, it seems that what Xue Yi said is also right, when the spring of the next year comes, it is estimated that the new city mentioned by the emperor will start construction, and there will be a need for labor at that time, and these Xue Yantuo prisoners of war are the best labor force, but they can't all be starved to death or sold.
Thinking of this, Su Lie glanced at Xue Yiyi, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you should be from Xue Yantuo, right?"

"Ah, yes" Xue nodded, looking at Su Lie sincerely, as if to say, although I am from Xue Yantuo, my heart is towards Datang.
Su Lie couldn't help but be a little speechless, he really didn't know what to say, and only said after a while: "Then so be it, you go to the prisoner of war camp, talk to those prisoners of war, and tell them that as long as you behave well during this time, you will definitely have the opportunity to go out in the future, and if you appease those prisoners of war, General Ben will give you credit." ” Xue Yiyi thought that Su Lie would make some more difficult request, but he didn't expect it to be so simple, and nodded without hesitation and said, "It's no problem, this is what the small one should do." ” Seeing that he agreed, Su Lie nodded and said, "Okay, you go to Captain Cheng to pick someone, remember, don't go wrong, if these two thousand people cause something in the future, you will be the only one to ask." ” "No" Xue Yi agreed, and left with Su Lie's personal guard at the door.
In fact, he was not worried that those compatriots would run away, nor was he worried that they would cause trouble, because with the three thousand people under his command in front of him, these two thousand people would not have any thoughts of resisting at all.
After all, Xue Yi himself is a native of Xue Yantuo, and he knows very well what his compatriots need.
If there is a stable living environment, if it is not for the ambition of those who are in high positions, the devil is willing to pin his head to the waistband of his trousers to fight.
And now in Shanyin County, Datang, there is just one person who can fulfill their wishes, Li Muyun doesn't need them to fight, and they don't need to pay much tax, as long as they are obedient, their serious work will serve them like ordinary people in Datang, and even some of them who perform particularly well will also be issued to them Datang household registration.
In this way, it means that they will be the people of the Tang Dynasty in the future, they can marry wives and have children in the Tang Dynasty, they can enjoy the protection of the Tang army, and no one will come to rob them because they like the cattle and sheep they raise
