In the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan beat Li Shimin at the beginning

Chapter 148 Building Roads with Cement

Li Shimin was immediately speechless by his words.

Choose Gao Ming?Where do I go to choose?Who can do this job?

Li Shimin said helplessly: "Okay! I will make an exception once and for all. King Ma Bin..."

Ma Zhou hurriedly knelt down in Li Shimin's direction and said, "The minister is here."

Li Shimin said: "The king of Shu tried his best to promote you, you have to work hard, and you can't let him down!"

Ma Zhou was overjoyed, knocked to the bottom hastily, and said, "Your Majesty's order."

In this way, Ma Zhou became the official with the fastest promotion rate in history.

Li Ke also quickly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Father."

Li Shimin said: "What about the other officials, you continue to choose!"

Li Ke said: "Father, there is no need. The other officials are not very high-ranking. I will leave this matter to Ma Zhou. He will recommend him, and I will use whoever he recommends."

When Li Shimin heard the words, he instantly understood.Li Ke is an official who dislikes these aristocratic families!
Those recommended by Ma Zhou must be from poor families, and these people can keep a little more secret.

This silly, stupid, it seems that he is just stupid, not stupid at all!
Li Shimin nodded and said, "Okay, I'm sure."

After going down.

Li Ke followed Li Shimin and a group of important officials to the Lizheng Hall.

After discussing the details, he signed an agreement with Li Shimin according to the regulations.

In the end, it was decided that Cheng Chumo would lead 500 troops to escort the 1200 people from Tubo to Li Ke's mine in Dongshan.

Li Shimin's requirements are not high, as long as the 1200 people can feed the 500 people, it is enough.

And Li Ke's research institute is also located in the Dongshan Mine.

Not because of anything, just because the experimental bomb can be used to explode mines.

Li Ke's mine is actually ready for everything, but there is no wall.

How can people be shut down without a wall?
Cheng Chumo expressed his depression.

Li Ke patted him on the shoulder and said, "Tie Niu, don't worry, look at me."

As Li Ke said, he stood on the high platform and looked at the dark group of Tubo soldiers below.

He said loudly: "Hi everyone! Starting today, you don't have to go to jail. Instead, come here to mine for me. Don't worry, everyone, I won't treat you badly.

Although I have no money to work here, I can assure you that you can eat as much as you want, and occasionally, there will be a meal of meat. "

Are you full?And meat?

Upon hearing this, the people below became agitated.

This treatment is really great.None of them served as soldiers could eat so well.

Li Ke pressed his hand to signal them to be calm.

The group of people quickly fell silent.

Li Ke continued: "But let me put it bluntly, this job is very hard. If some of you have nothing to worry about, you don't want to work here for the rest of your life.

Then, you can join our Datang and serve as a soldier in our Datang.Don't worry, we will never treat you differently.

And the most important thing is that you can't escape no matter what.Every time you run away, I will chop off a finger from Lu Dongzan.When you run out of fingers, cut off your toes.

Well, I'm done talking.If you don't understand, you can ask your friends. "

Lu Dongzan standing below was speechless.Cut off a finger if he ran away?Chop off your toes if you don't have enough fingers?This is the rhythm to cut me down!
Lu Dongzan was in a hurry, and quickly told the people under him to be optimistic about his soldiers.If anyone runs away, kill his whole family after returning.

Lu Dongzan didn't dare to bet on whether Li Ke would dare to cut off his fingers.He is a civil servant, how can he write without fingers?

Lu Dongzan is very sad. He is a dignified Prime Minister of Tubo, and he came to dig mines for others.

However, no matter what he said or how much he promised to pay, Li Ke just refused to let him go.

Li Ke only gave him two choices.

First, join Datang and become an official.Or follow Li Ke to hang out with him.

Second, that is mining here.

At first, Lu Dongzan thought about running away.

However, these days, before mining.Someone is always coming with a bomb, rumbling through those mines.

Then, it will be much easier for them to go up to mine.Because those mines have been blown loose.

Lu Dongzan suddenly didn't want to run away.

Yes, he's going to stay and figure out a way to bring this technology back.

Without this technology, it would be useless for him to go back.Will always be bullied by Datang.

But fortunately, Li Ke really didn't treat them badly, not only let them live well, but also eat well.

In Li Ke's words, this is physical work, and if you don't eat well, you won't have the strength to work.

At the beginning, Li Ke still came to see him every few days, asking him if he would like to join Datang, chatting with him and so on.

However, Li Ke has no time to take care of him these days.Because, his cement came out.

On this day, Cheng Chumo suddenly came to find Lu Dongzan and asked him to bring 300 people to help build the road.

Lu Dongzan had no choice but to order 300 people and follow Cheng Chumo away.

Lu Dongzan thought that building roads meant patching dirt roads with shovels.

However, when they arrived at the scene, they were stunned.

At the scene, Li Ke was there personally directing.Let people fix two straight iron sheets on both sides of the road, which is called Anmo.

However, people mix sand, gravel and cement with a certain amount of water, and it quickly becomes a cement slurry.

Then, pour the cement paste into the mold.

Because there are no heavy vehicles in this era, the steps of vibration and compaction are also saved.

After filling the grout into the membrane, smooth the surface.

That's about it.

Lu Dongzan looked confused, this is called road construction?

In fact, everyone is very confused. Is this called road construction?

that's it.

A straight concrete road stretches all the way to Chang'an.

Lu Dongzan was very confused. Can he go this way?

Sure enough, Li Ke told them that no one was allowed to walk on it without his order.

Lu Dongzan was relieved when he heard this, as it really is impossible to go this way.

This silly prince is really playing the piano indiscriminately.

There are many people and strength, and these people gradually become skilled workers, and they can operate skillfully without Li Ke's command.

Five days later, the road was halfway done.

Lizheng Hall.

Li Shimin is discussing things with the ministers!
Wang De walked in from the back door, quietly came to his ear, and whispered a few words.

Li Shimin suddenly exclaimed: "What? This brat, what does he want to do, this is simply messing around."

Li Shimin's voice immediately attracted the attention of the following ministers.

A minister quickly asked: "Your Majesty, what happened?"

Li Shimin said angrily: "Li Ke, a bastard, actually used some kind of water and mud to build roads, isn't that playing the piano indiscriminately?

Can water and mud build roads together?I heard that half of the repairs have been completed. Tell me, how much money is wasted? "

Li Shimin was so distressed that his heart was bleeding.
