The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 354 Li Muyun who refuses to suffer
However, what made Su Lie speechless was that Li Muyun didn't seem to take his words seriously, but just said to himself: "Brother, these are not problems. The only thing I'm worried about is the Xue Yantuo people. Are you sure you can rely on 3000 people?" People block their nuisance, on this matter, you must give the little brother a clear answer."

"No problem, as long as Xue Yantuo's nuisance troops do not exceed 1 people, I can give you this guarantee, but you must explain clearly how you plan to build the city, otherwise I will never agree to the building of the city, even if it is an order from His Majesty. As a brother, I have to write a letter to His Majesty to reject this matter." Su Lie was so forced by Li Muyun that he had no choice but to use his trump card to force him to reveal his plan.

Li Muyun looked at his uncle-to-be speechlessly, with a strange expression on his face, and said unhurriedly, "Brother, you forgot about cement, right? "

"Cement? The thing that built the house?" Su Lie asked suspiciously.

"Yes, it's the thing that builds a house, but that thing is not only used for building a house, it is also very useful for building a city. Of course, it is also a good choice if it is used for building roads." Li Muyun said with a smile.

Li Muyun wasn't surprised that Su Lie forgot about the cement, after all, his brother-in-law only cared about fighting, and would habitually ignore other things.

Under Li Muyun's reminder, Su Lie thought of the use of cement, but after thinking about it, he still said with some uncertainty: "No, no, even if cement can quickly complete the city building, you can't build it in one place. Build a city within a year, and didn’t you say that there is no way to use that thing in winter? We will enter the cold winter here in October, and you only have half a year now. How can you build the city? .”

It has to be said that Su Lie's considerations are not unreasonable. If half a year is used to build a city, it seems that the time is not very rich. Li Muyun also knows that this is an impossible thing.

But don't forget, Li Muyun is a person from later generations, how could he be troubled by such a thing, so this problem that troubled Su Lie was nothing to him, he grinned and said, "This thing is simple. , we can just build the city wall, and we can wait until later to talk about the inside.”

"What? Only build the city wall?" Su Lie blinked.

"Yes, we only repair the city wall." Li Muyun nodded: "As long as we repair the city wall, the inside can be tidied up later, at least it looks like a city from the outside. Anyway, His Majesty didn't say the standard of building the city. , only the city wall should be considered a city, right?"

Su Lie nodded mechanically, and had to admit that what Li Muyun said was not wrong. If you don't consider the other auxiliary functions of the city, but only in terms of appearance, it can indeed be called a city with four walls!
But Su Lie soon realized that things were not that simple. After a moment of silence, he asked again: "Then how do you solve the problem of people? Even if you can quickly build the city wall with cement, what about people?"

"But use those prisoners of war, brother, don't tell me that you haven't controlled the [-] prisoners of war until now."

Using prisoners of war again?How brave is this kid? Doesn't he know that those prisoners of war will escape?Su Lie was speechless.

But Li Muyun had his own reasons. Seeing that Su Lie was silent, he roughly guessed what he was thinking, smiled and said: "Brother, those Xue Yantuo people are all descendants of that magnanimous establishment. Not killing them, but handing them over to us can be regarded as sparing their lives, do you think they will still have the intention to go back?"

"Besides, in Datang, they eat well, live well, and I pay them wages. Why do they have any reason to want to escape? What can they do when they run back? Waiting to be silenced?"

yes!Are you waiting to be silenced?Su Lie thought about Li Muyun's words carefully, and felt that there was some truth in that those Xue Yantuo prisoners seemed to have no reason to escape.

Even the matter is more than that, if money is really given, Su Lie thinks that those prisoners of war will not only not escape, but will give up their hearts on the contrary.

Thinking about those herdsmen in Shanyin County who sneaked here from Xue Yantuo to work here, Su Lie suddenly felt dumbfounded, as if everything became very easy in Li Muyun's hands.

After a long time, Su Lie sighed: "Well, even if you have solved the human problem, how will you solve the logistics problem? As long as you can solve this problem, I will promise to help you with the city building."

Li Muyun laughed strangely: "It's just money, what's so difficult about it, we are working for the court, His Majesty the Emperor will not be stingy with that little bit of food, right? As long as a little more is brought in every month, that's all." .”

Seeing Li Muyun's nonchalant expression, Su Lie felt annoyed, glared at him fiercely and said, "Shipping a little more? It's easy for you to say, do you know that a catty of grain transported from Chang'an to our place will be expensive?" How much consumption? I’m afraid it’s more than [-] percent, thanks to how easy it is for you to say.”

"So what, as long as the problem can be solved with money, it's not a problem. The emperor can't transport grain, so we can buy it ourselves. Even if we can't buy it, we can plant it ourselves. We can make up for the loss outside the problem, anyway. I won’t do city building without money.”

After talking for a long time, Li Muyun finally revealed his true love for money, and said with a face of money fanatics: "Since ancient times, I have never heard that real estate will lose money. Even if we lose some money on the surface, we still have a city in our hands. At that time, as long as the city is sold, all the expenses will be returned immediately."

Su Lie really didn't know what to say. Li Muyun's character of eating everything but not being disadvantaged really made him incomprehensible. For a person who dared to take advantage of the emperor, there is probably no one in Datang who can persuade him .

Seeing that Su Lie didn't ask any more questions, Li Muyun continued after thinking for a while, "Brother, don't pay too much attention to this matter. I've been trying to write a letter to that Bazhuo for the past few days. You can send someone to deliver it to me." , if my estimate is not bad, not only will they not come to make trouble this time, they will even take the initiative to help us."

"Offering to help you? Why don't you say they can support you? Do you really think of yourself as Xue Yantuo's biological father? Even if you are a biological father, he may not be able to take care of you!" Su Lie finally agreed. Unable to stand Li Muyun, she couldn't help provoking him.
