By the way, Su Lie rectified the 10,000 war horses, sent his deputy general to take charge of escort, and sent 500 troops and hundreds of soldiers sent from Shuozhou Prefecture to send 10,000 war horses back to Chang'an.

However, three days after the people he sent out left, his old uncle, Su Zhen, came to the door.

"Uncle? Why are you here?" Su Lie respected this uncle of the family very much. He heard his subordinates report and hurriedly met him out of the camp and took the old man into the central army at the gate of the camp.

"It's not for our son-in-law's business." Su Zhen sighed and sat on the guest seat of Su Lie's Central Army tent with a sad face.

"Mu Yun? What's wrong with that boy?" Su Lie frowned and said with a slightly weird expression: "Aren't that boy busy with his adoptive father's gambling king competition for the past period?"

"Yes, he is busy with that matter. Otherwise, how could it be me, the old guy, come to your place?" Su Zhen said angrily.

After hearing Su Zhen's words, Su Lie remembered that he didn't seem to know his purpose, so he inquired: "By the way, uncle, you haven't said anything yet."

This time, Su Zhen did not go around the circle and said directly: "I borrow some soldiers from you. Our son-in-law wants to transport five million kilograms of cement to Chang'an."

When he heard that he had to transport five million kilograms of cement to grow, Su Lie was angry at that time and stared at the time and said, "What? He transported things again? Is he treating me as his transportation captain?"

Five million kilograms of cement, that is not fifty kilograms. Even if it is two thousand kilograms per car, that is two thousand five hundred kilograms. The horse or cow that just pulls the cart is thousands, which is not considered a driver who drives the cart.

In addition, you have to transport cement. Now, what's going on? Ten thousand war horses have already been shipped. Now, where can I find big animals?

Su Lie is so angry. If Li Muyun sits here, Old Su will be so heartbroken. No wonder this guy sent the old man Su Zhen over, but he hid in the cottage. He probably felt guilty.

Su Lie thought so. On the side of the village, Li Muyun sat comfortably on the rocking chair, baking two pieces of steamed buns on the stove beside him, and Su Wanqing was sitting beside him, embroidering something.

Li Muyun is very satisfied with this last wife who can go to the battlefield and the kitchen. She has been a grandson outside for a whole year, and now she can finally get her wife and children’s warm bed, which is what she wants.

However, it seems to be a bit early to think of his wife and children. Although he and Su Wanqing have confirmed their relationship, they have never been married yet, and children are even more invisible. Everything only exists in imagination.

"Mu Yun, is it really good for you to do this? Brother is afraid he doesn't know what he will be angry." Su Wanqing seemed to remember something, and suddenly put down the embroidery work in her hand and looked at Li Muyun and asked.

"It's okay, I just asked my elder brother to send a few people, not to let my elder brother go to escort in person, don't worry!" Li Muyun narrowed his eyes and looked at Fang Liang above his head and said indifferently.

"Then why didn't you bring up this matter a few days ago? In that case, wouldn't you use those war horses to carry it?" Su Wanqing continued to ask.

"Didn't I forget it a few days ago?" Li Muyun blinked innocently and sat upright: "But fortunately, we still have a lot of cows now. We can transport them with ox carts. When we arrive in Chang'an, we will get the cost back."

"You always make sense!" Su Wanqing glared at Li Muyun with a angrily look.

The girl was outgoing, and she didn't realize that Su Lie had no soldiers at hand. If he sent someone to transport cement, he would probably not have enough 1,500 people left. How could such a small number of people complete the task of guarding the border, let alone he is now responsible for guarding more than 10,000 people.

But at least Li Muyun was a little conscientious, and he sent someone again within a day. This time the person who came to find Su Lie was a Xue Yantuo man, whose Han name was Xue Yi, which was the commander who was deceived and surrendered by Li Muyun Lianmeng at the beginning.

"General Su, the villain was chosen by the young master's order." After seeing Su Lie, Xue Yi seemed very scared, as if Old Su could eat people.

But in fact, this is true. Since Su Lie led two hundred cavalry to Jie Liya's tent, his name has been circulating on the grassland, almost stopping the child from crying at night, no worse than Huo Piqiu's cavalry back then.

"Pick people? Who are you picking?" Su Lie asked suspiciously as Xue Yi, who was like a mud monkey.

"Oh, that's right. There is a construction team in our copycat, which is dedicated to building houses and roads. Isn't this going to Chang'an to build the palace after spring? We don't have enough manpower, so we will pick some people to add to the manpower." Xue nodded and explained.

Su Lie guessed what Xue Yi was talking about, but he was still a little uncertain, so he continued to ask: "Are you going to pick people among the 'Power of War'?"

"Ah, yes! Yes, that's it. There are no need to be too many, just two thousand people." Gong pointed his head very quickly.

Now he lives much more comfortable than before. Since the day he became a contractor, he has fallen deeply in love with this profession.

First of all, this industry has no risks and no war. Although dealing with sand and cement every day is boring, it is always better than licking blood from a knife. There is today or tomorrow.

The second is to have a sense of accomplishment. In the past, he was only responsible for sabotage, burning, killing, and robbing, and doing all kinds of evil. But now it is different. Seeing the houses rising up under his command, the sense of accomplishment is extraordinary.

At least he can say to his children in the future: Look, these houses are built by me, and there is no such thing as me, but the country bumpkin can only sleep in the grass nest.

But if it was not possible before, he could not tell his children: Look, this land was burned by me, how many women did I snatched and killed many children here back then.

Also, this is the Tang Dynasty, not the broken place where birds do not shit on the grassland.

There are beautiful women here, exquisite food, and as long as you have money, you can get everything.

Speaking of this, I have to say that Xue Yi’s favorite thing is that he actually makes money when doing projects. Although it is not a lot, it is enough for him to seek a wife in the Tang Dynasty.

Look, a matchmaker 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, she is much better than a rough grassland woman.

Thinking of meeting the woman introduced by the matchmaker tomorrow, Xue Yi felt passionate and was not afraid of Su Lie. After all, he was the boss's brother-in-law, and he was not an outsider.

So the guy smiled embarrassedly, nodded and continued to Su Lie, "General Su, look, the buildings in our village are all built by us, and cement is a unique product in our county. There may be more and more projects in the future, so our construction team will definitely become larger and more personnel."

"What do you want to say?" Su Lie looked at the Xueyantuo people who didn't look like Xueyantuo people at all, and asked impatiently.

"General, I mean, can you help? Identify the 'Power of War' when you are custodying those 'Power of War'. Those who are more obedient and have poor resistance awareness will be isolated. These people are the potential labor force of our engineering team in the future, and they cannot be contaminated by those who are determined to oppose the Tang Dynasty."

Xue Yi's words were sincere and sincere. Su Lie couldn't help laughing and crying. He thought to himself, "You Xue Yantuo, you told me these things, so this isn't Xue Ting?"

But when I think about it again, it seems that Xue Yi is right. When the spring of the next year comes, the new city that the emperor said will start will start, and labor will be required at that time. These Xueyantuo prisoners of war are the best labor force, and they cannot all be starved to death or sold.

Thinking of this, Su Lie glanced at Xue Yi and said with a tickling voice: "If I remember correctly, you should be from Xue Yantuo, right?"

"Ah..., yes!" Xue nodded, looked at Su Lie sincerely, and said, although I am from Xue Yantuo, my heart is on the Tang Dynasty.

Su Lie couldn't help but feel speechless, and he didn't know what to say. After a while, he said, "Then let it go. Go to the prisoner of war camp and talk to those prisoners of war. Tell them that as long as you perform well during this period, you will definitely have a chance to go out in the future. If you appease the prisoners of war, I will remember the merits for you."

Xue Yiben thought Su Lie would make something more difficult, but he didn't expect it to be so simple. He nodded without hesitation and said, "This is no problem, this is something that the little one should do."

Seeing that he agreed, Su Lie nodded and said, "Okay, go to Captain Cheng to pick people. Remember, don't make a mistake. If these two thousand people cause anything in the future, I will only ask you."

"No!" Xue Yi agreed and left with Su Lie's personal guard at the door.

He was not actually worried that his compatriots would run away, nor did he worry that they would cause trouble, because the three thousand people under his command were in front of him, and later the two thousand people would not have any idea of ​​resisting.

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 superiors, the genius is willing to put their heads on the belt to fight.

There is a person in Shanyin County, Datang, who can satisfy their wishes. Li Muyun doesn’t have to fight or pay much tax. As long as they are obedient and work hard, they will serve them like ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty. Some of them perform particularly well and will even send them a household registration for the Tang Dynasty.
