Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Yan Liben has been cooperating with Prince Ji's Mansion, so Li Shen is still very satisfied with Yan Liben.

Yan Liben's elder brother Yan Lide was more skilled than Yan Liben, but Yan Lide was the minister of the Ministry of Industry.

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

This time Yan Liben needed to go to Chiling in person. The minister of the Ministry of Industry was so busy that he had no time to go.

When Li Shen came to Liangyi Palace, he found that no one was there, so he asked the eunuch to inform him and then walked into the palace.

"See you, Aye." Li Shen bowed first.

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

"Back to Aye, I want to borrow someone to build a fortress." Li Shen said bluntly without any nonsense.

"You are talking about Yan Liben, okay. I will ask Wang De to inform him later." Li Shimin continued to approve the memorial.

"If you have nothing to do, go back. I'm very busy now." Seeing that Li Shen didn't speak, Li Shimin raised his head and said.

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

"Who?" Li Shimin asked.

He could understand borrowing Yan Liben, but why did Li Shen still want to borrow someone else.

"Aye, you also know that I don't have time to manage the affairs of the capital, so there needs to be someone in Chiling to keep an eye on it.

Therefore, Er wanted to transfer Prince Consort Zhou Daowu to Chiling to guard him there instead of Er. "

Li Shen has thought about this in the past two days. His brother-in-law has been married for more than a year and has been hanging around in the Yulin Guard.

His father has no intention of getting promoted, so it would be better to follow him to Qinghai Road for gilding. It only takes a year anyway.

"Haha, Li Shen, this is your purpose for coming here today. Are you blaming me for not promoting my consort?" Li Shimin sneered.

"I don't dare, Aye, I'm telling you the truth, I plan to build the city within a year, and I plan to recruit [-] laborers for this purpose.

Although there are people from my mansion who are responsible for guarding, there are too many people, and we need the cooperation of the soldiers and generals of the Protectorate.

Otherwise, civil commotion will easily occur, and I want to put one of my own people there.

Aye, you also know that although I am not in the court, I have made many enemies. If someone takes this opportunity to stir up trouble and cause a civil unrest, the crime will be serious. "

Li Shen gave a very reasonable explanation. His popularity in the court was too bad and he had many enemies.

He didn't know if someone would cause trouble. You must know that there are many disciples of aristocratic families as middle-level generals in the [-]-strong army of the Protectorate.

Li Shimin thought about it and found that it was indeed what Li Shen said, and Qinghai Road was very important to the court and could not be missed.

"Okay, then according to your words this time, I will issue a decree to appoint Zhou Daowu as Deputy Protector. During your absence, you will be responsible for the affairs of the Protectorate." Li Shimin said.

Li Shen was overjoyed after hearing this and quickly thanked him and said:

"Thank you Aye."

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. I will satisfy you with everything, but there is no room for failure on Qinghai Road. Chiling is located in an important place.

Since you said it can be completed in one year, then you must do it, and I can give you some support. "

Li Shimin said sternly.

Li Shen immediately patted his chest and promised:

"Don't worry, Aye, even if our Prince Ji's palace sells everything, we will build a fortress within a year."

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction, and then waved to Li Shen.

Li Shen immediately bowed and said goodbye.

Forget about nepotism.

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

"Your Majesty, the laborers have gathered more than [-] people, all young men selected from poor villages, with a maximum of two from each family.

The newspapers have been dispersed, but it's already winter, so they should arrive in the early spring of next year.

The newspaper has stated that registration is required on March [-]st, and those with skills will be given priority.

And in accordance with your request, Your Majesty, we have begun to recruit widows, and we currently have [-] people. "

Wang Hongfu began to report on his work, and a widow was a widow.

"Your Majesty, why are you summoning a widow? This is somewhat unethical. I'm afraid it will attract criticism." Wang Xuance asked.

But the way he looked at Li Shen was a bit strange. One hundred thousand male workers were energetic and energetic after working for a long time. Could it be that King Ji recruited widows for...

Li Shen glanced at Wang Xuance. He knew what Wang Xuance meant. So he said angrily:

"Xuance, what's that look in your eyes? Can I do such a dirty thing?

Can your thoughts not be so shameless?

The reason why I recruit widows is to cook for these people. I want these people to be full and well fed so that they can have the strength to work for me. You know what the heck. "

"Yes, yes, I really want to make a mistake. Your Majesty is highly respected." Wang Xuance quickly admitted his mistake.

"There is another idea. I understand that it is very difficult for a widow to remarry, and many people dislike it.

Therefore, I think that among the [-] workers, there will definitely be some older men who cannot marry.

At that time, you can ask the supervisor to help with the introduction. If this can be facilitated, the number of children born in the future will increase the population.

Five hundred widows, if one has two children, that's a thousand people.

Wang Hongfu, please think more about this matter, but it requires the consent of the woman. If anyone comes by force, I will chop him into pieces and feed him to the wolves, telling him to die without leaving his body intact. Do you hear me? "

Li Shen ordered Wang Hongfu again, and Wang Hongfu nodded quickly.

"Xuan Ce, please tell me."

"Your Majesty, I have already contacted the imperial court and sent a quick message to all states and counties to immediately issue customs clearance documents for laborers who want to come to Chang'an after identifying their identities.

No excuses may be made to block or use this as an excuse to ask for money.

It was also written in the newspaper that you can go to the branch offices in various places to report. If anyone stops the prince, you will be unhappy and the consequences will be serious. "Wang Xuancehui reported.

"Well, let me tell you, not only am I unhappy, but His Majesty will be even more unhappy. I just came out of the palace.

Your Majesty takes this matter very seriously, and I have pledged to build the Chiling Fortress within one year. This is why I want to recruit [-] workers,

You can't slack off. If you fail to complete it, don't blame me for punishing you. "Li Shen said to several people seriously.

"Within a year?" Several people were very surprised.

"Why, one hundred thousand laborers can't finish the construction?" Li Shen asked displeasedly.

"My lord, one hundred thousand laborers is no problem, but what about the materials? My lord, have you ever thought that everything needs to be transported in that bitter cold place.

Transportation takes a lot of manpower and material resources. Your Majesty, if it takes one year to complete it, Prince Ji's Mansion may not be able to support such a large expense. "Wang Hongfu said bluntly.

Li Shen slapped his forehead. He considered everything except the material issue.

He thought that he could recruit [-] laborers, dig the foundation, and pour cement.

But the fact is that city walls require a lot of cement and steel bars. Even if they don't use steel bars, they still need a lot of iron bars.

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

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

"Alas~~~ It seems that the method of making cement can no longer be preserved."
