In the cemetery of Beimang Mountain, thousands of people were busy under the command of officials. Although this cemetery was not as big as the imperial tomb, because there were too many people buried, the entire project was not small. Li Xiu was worried about insufficient staff, but he did not expect that many former Sui soldiers' families came to him after hearing about this incident and hoped to contribute to their relatives.

Li Xiu could understand the mood of these people, so he finally agreed to them. Of course, some older people would definitely not be able to come, so he selected some young and strong people to work in the cemetery. Some of the people who were not selected were still a little dissatisfied. He came to the cemetery from time to time to voluntarily help. Even some older people often came to deliver a lot of food. It can be said that they had money and effort. Li Xiu estimated that his budget would be rich in the end.

There are not many requirements for the tombs that are buried together, and there is no need to dig underground palaces like wealthy families, but they cannot be too hasty. Especially the families of the Sui army soldiers have more requirements than Li Xiu. Although they cannot all be satisfied, since they have agreed to participate in the construction of the cemetery, Li Xiu also tried his best to satisfy everyone.

"Duke, the tomb pit on the east side has been excavated, and the subordinate has checked it. It is completely in line with our requirements. As long as you feel satisfied with the Duke, we can immediately bury some of the corpses in the tomb!" That morning, when Li Xiu was patrolling the construction site, he saw Yang Huai, the military officer, come to report to him again.

When Li Xiu heard that the tomb pit on the east side had been constructed, he was also happy and said with a smile: "That's great, let's go and have a look. Speaking of which, the soldiers' corpses have been waiting outside for too long!"

At that moment, Li Xiu and Yang Huai came to the tomb on the east side. The entire tomb was very narrow and long, like an arm, protecting the tomb of the Tang army soldiers in the middle. This was also Li Xiu's design at the beginning. Now that the tomb has been built, the strong men who work have also moved to other tombs to work.

Li Xiu followed the abrupt passage beside the tomb pit and saw a thick layer of three-mix soil on the ground, and he smashed it with huge rocks to prevent the water from rushing up below. Water entering the tomb chamber is an unlucky thing for the funeral customs in the Central Plains.

Li Xiu personally walked around the entire tomb pit, and finally found that the specifications, shapes and sizes of the construction were very consistent with his original requirements. This made him nodded with satisfaction, and then praised Yang Huai, "Not bad, Yang Sihu, thank you for your hard work. After this matter, my country's Duke must praise you to your boss. With your ability, a mere Sihu is really too much for you!"

Hearing Li Xiu's praise, Yang Huai couldn't help feeling flattered. He hurriedly said a few humble words, but he was also very excited. Speaking of which, with his ability, he should have been promoted long ago. It was just because he had some unrelated relationship with the former Sui royal family, which delayed his career. However, if the Duke of Yan in front of him could refuse him, no one would dare to make things difficult for him anymore.

"Dangdangdangdang~" At this moment, a crisp knock sound was suddenly uploaded on the construction site, and then someone shouted "It's time to eat", which made the entire cemetery lively. The strong men who worked also threw down their tools and ran to the place where they were eating. They fought for fear that they would not be able to eat. After all, these people came to work temporarily, and it was impossible to ask them to be as disciplined as the army.

Li Xiu was also hungry at this time, and now he came to the place to eat with Yang Huai. In fact, this is a simple shed, where you can cook in the back and eat in the open space in front. Anyway, the people working are not very particular, and they eat the same while standing and squatting.

Li Xiu didn't like to be special, but in addition to him, Ma Ye and Qin Qiong were also here in the cemetery. Even Ping Anlang, Li Zhi and Di Renjie also came. The main reason is that people working on the construction site inevitably have headaches and fevers. Sometimes they may be injured if they are accidentally injured. So Ping Anlang acts as a doctor to ensure everyone's health. Li Zhi and Di Renjie are purely helping Ping Anlang. Now both of them have learned a lot of things, such as knowing hundreds of medicines, and Ping Anlang can also give them peace of mind when taking medicine.

It is precisely because of the elderly and children that Li Xiu specially gave a small kitchen to be responsible for the diet of these people. In fact, this is a good thing. After all, as their identity, if they really eat with ordinary people, it will make others feel unnatural.

When Li Xiu came to the place where he was eating, he found that Ping Anlang and several other children had already started eating. After all, the children were young and were growing up, so Li Xiu specifically told them not to wait for him. In addition to Ping Anlang, there was also a five- or six-year-old boy eating with them. There was an old woman next to him who was helping Ma Ye and others arrange food. The old and the young were the grandparents and grandchildren who took the initiative to invite the other party to work in the cemetery in the square.

The old woman's surname is Liu, and her husband's surname is Xu, so others call her Xu Liu. Her great-grandson is Xu Kang and her nickname is Chong Chong. Because folk legends say that the cheaper the child's name is, the easier it is to feed him. Xu Liu named his great-grandson the character "Kang", probably hoping that his great-grandson could grow up healthily.

Although Xu Liu is old, she cooks good food. According to her, she was also a wealthy family when she was young, so she specialized in cooking. Moreover, her years of poverty made her particularly good at farm dishes. Even with very ordinary ingredients, she could make delicious food in her hands. Li Zhi had been tired of eating the delicacies of the palace since she was a child, so she also liked the dishes made by Xu Liu very much.

"Sir, we're going to play after dinner!" As soon as Li Xiu came in, he saw Li Zhi throwing his job away, and then pulled Ping Anlang and the other two to run out. During this period, he was also crazy. After all, the scenery here in Beimang Mountain is good, and no one cares about him, so he also runs into the mountains every day, and from time to time he can bring back a few hares he caught to the teeth for sacrifice.

"Don't run too far!" Li Xiu had no time to control Li Zhi and the others. He nodded immediately. Anyway, the nearby army had cleared it, and there were no beasts at all, and there were guards following him, so Li Xiu was not worried about the dangers of Li Zhi and the others.
