Early the next morning, after dinner, Tang Jian was going back with Sun and Tang Guan. Before leaving, Tang Guan asked Li Mu to write down the two poems he wrote last night and give them to him. Li Mu knew that his handwriting was ugly and didn't want to
But I couldn’t refuse, so I wrote to him anyway. Tang Jian and Tang Guan watched from the side. Li Mu’s calligraphy was crooked, and there were typos (simplified Chinese). They knew that he was indeed not lying. He was writing like a child.
, he definitely looks like he has just learned to read.
Li Mu went out with Tang Jian and others. He was going to Chongrenfang to supervise the work. They happened to be on the way, so they set off together. Li Chongyi followed him on horseback with four people. Their task was to protect Li Mu's safety. The remaining six guards
, they stay at home. If Bai Qiaoqiao wants to go out, they are responsible for protecting her.
In fact, in Chang'an City, there is no need to mobilize troops like this. But Li Mu likes such a scene, which is related to what happened to him when he was a child. Li Mu was an orphan. When he met other children when he was a child, he had to hide away. When others beat him, he could beat him.
He didn't dare to fight back, and the impression of being bullied always remained in his mind. He was determined not to be humiliated in this life, so whether it was him or his family, they had to bring a few more followers with them when they went out to form a numerical advantage.
At least you won't suffer.
Saying goodbye at the intersection, Li Mu continued walking with his entourage. Not far away, they arrived at Chongrenfang. Although it was just midnight, the craftsmen had already arrived. Last night they got the news that Li Mu went to Zhao Guogong's mansion to ask for his salary. Zhao Guogong really
Yes, Yuan Wailang will go to Zhao Guogong's mansion today to withdraw money, and then arrange for Wang and Qian to take seventy-three craftsmen to Dingxiang. No one expected such a result, and their respect for Li Mu deepened.
, for fear of offending him somewhere, he would be sent to the border to build forts. People who have lived in the Central Plains for a long time have a bone marrow fear of the border, and it seems that they will not be able to survive there. Seeing what happened to Wang, Qian and others,
My heart was full of worries, as if I had been given a shot of chicken blood, and I worked harder and harder.
Li Mu came to the construction site and was very satisfied with the bustling scene in front of him. This was the effect he wanted, to scare the monkeys. Gongsun Kang, who was presiding over the assessment, saw Li Mu coming and hurriedly greeted him. If a few days ago, Gongsun Kang
Kang's awe for Li Mu was still superficial. At this time, he was really afraid of the young man in front of him. It didn't matter if he teased Zhao Guogong's tiger beard. How honorable was this young man's identity? His surname was Li, and he came from
On the border, he built buildings for the rich in Longxi... Could it be that he was a member of the Thirteen Hopes of the Li family in Longxi? He was related to the current royal family? He was not the only one in the Ministry of Industry to have such an idea, and they talked about it during breaks in work.
We can chat for an hour!
Li Mu also heard a few gossips, but he pretended not to hear it and did not explain it. Such speculation was a good thing for him. The people under his command were in awe, so they would not be lazy when working, and it would also be easier for him in the future.
Scheduling management.
"Sir, according to your standards, a total of seventy people were assessed yesterday, including three technicians, fifteen technicians, and forty laborers. The rest... failed." "Unqualified?" Li Mu raised his eyebrows.
, said: "What's wrong with this method? Are you really weak or just lazy?"
"Uh..." Gongsun Kang grinned and said, "I don't know about this."
"Okay, call them over. You can continue the assessment." Li Mu gave the order. Gongsun Kang called over the twelve people who failed yesterday and continued to assess the others. Li Mu looked at the people standing in front of him.
These twelve people were all tall, short, fat and thin, but looking at the looks on their faces, they didn't look like sick people.
The strength standard set by Li Mu is to carry a hundred kilograms of sandbags. This weight is not a high requirement for an adult. Anyone with hands and feet can carry it. The twelve people in front of him can carry it.
If an individual cannot move, it can only mean one thing: they don't want to move.
Li Mu has seen this kind of people, many in his previous life. There are thousands of kinds of people in this world, and not everyone follows the rule of more work, more reward, no work, no reward. There is a kind of person who thinks everything in their mind.
It's something you get for nothing. If you let him do some work, it will be more uncomfortable than killing him. There are such people in every unit, especially those who have a guaranteed job. If you work, you will be a foreigner, and if you can be lazy, you will be lazy. Anyway, you will get away with it.
The salary is still paid, but the salary cannot be reduced. If the salary is reduced, he will not work...
For this kind of person, Li Mu in his previous life couldn't do anything, but in this life, he has many ways.
"Can't you move the sandbags?"
"Sir, it's too heavy. I'm so weak that I can't move it..." A guy as thick as a vat said with a grimace, and several others agreed, some of them silent, but coughing
, as if caught by the wind and cold.
Li Mu laughed and said, "Okay, I'm not someone who forces things on others. If you can't move the one hundred kilograms of sandbags in Chang'an City, I can find you fifty kilograms of sandbags."
Upon hearing this, Di Gong quickly thanked him: "Thank you so much, sir!"
"Go to Dingxiang City to move." Li Mu added slowly.
"ah?!"
"Come here! Send these twelve people to Yu Wengui, and ask him to write a letter, saying that these twelve people are too weak to lift a hundred kilograms of sandbags, and let Dingxiang City use them.
When the time comes, prepare fifty kilograms for them and send them off!"
"Sir, I can move it!"
"Sir, I can also move..."
"No need! Chang'an City doesn't need so many craftsmen in the first place. I am worried that I have no excuse to send you away. Dingxiang needs manpower. Although you can't do much work, you can do a little bit and practice more until you are qualified.
There are 100 kilograms of sandbags in Chang'an City, and the Ministry of Industry will still welcome you when you come back."
After speaking, Li Mu stopped listening to the wails of these people. With a wave of his hand, Li Chongyi rushed forward, carrying one in each hand, tied his hands with hemp rope, held them in a string, and dragged them to the Ministry of Works.
When the craftsmen who were undergoing the assessment saw such a scene, they originally planned to be lazy and gave up their thoughts. The speed of the assessment was accelerated a lot. Li Mu saw everyone's reaction and sneered in his heart. The reason why he set the salary of the craftsmen higher is that
In order to provide a reason for strict requirements in the future. If you work hard, I will not treat you badly. But if you cheat and play tricks, I'm sorry, then you have to follow the rules. You are here to do corvee work, not to be a master.
Yes, as a doctor in the Ministry of Industry, I will transfer you wherever I want, but I have the final say!
While Li Mu was regulating these craftsmen, a riot broke out in the Hongwen Hall. Tang Guan, who had always been criticized in his studies, actually handed in a frontier fortress poem that shocked everyone today.
