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

Chapter 44 Changsun Wuji is really kind to Li Ke

Li Ke is so embarrassed, these ministers don't have a single bird.

Li Ke had no choice but to look at Li Chengqian and Li Tai.

"Big Brother, Fourth Brother, they are not willing to do it, so let's come together! I really don't lack money for investment now, I just want to bring you to make money together."

Li Ke was afraid that they would not agree, so he explained it specially.

Li Chengqian nodded, and said with dignity: "Okay, I don't know how much it will cost, just tell me, and I'll send someone to your house in a while."

Li Tai also said: "Okay, since you have spoken, third brother, let's do it together."

Li Ke was very relieved, and said: "Okay, you can each get 200 yuan, and I will give you 20% of the shares later."

Both nodded.

"Okay, let's talk about it then."

Both of them showed a look of indifference. 200 pennies is not a lot of money to them.

Li Ke could tell that both of them were not optimistic about his project.It's just to save him face, that's all.

Li Ke said with a smile: "Okay, then thank you big brother and fourth brother for your support."

After the dynasty was over, Li Ke took his Tang 18 cavalry and Liu Hong out of the city and headed west of the city.

Yes, he's going out to find clay.With clay, bricks can be fired.

In Datang, clay was not scarce.In Li Ke's impression, there should be one in the west of the city.

The crowd galloped wildly all the way, not far away.

Suddenly Liu Hong said loudly from the side: "His Royal Highness, the 2000 mu of land that Zhangsun Wuji gave us is in front of us. Shall we go and have a look?"

Li Ke was taken aback.

"Haha, how did I forget about this? Okay, let's go and have a look!"

A group of people rode forward for a while, and the road ahead began to become muddy.

When Li Ke saw it, he couldn't help laughing.

Yes, this is clay.

Clay is definitely not good for growing crops.This is why Changsun Wuji deliberately chose this piece of land for Li Ke.

This large area of ​​mountains is all clay mountains.Not to mention growing crops, even trees are scarce.

Changsun Wuji did it on purpose, and deliberately gave Li Ke such a mountain to see how he would cultivate the land.

Unexpectedly, he helped Li Ke instead.

If this piece of land does not belong to Li Ke, he will go back to his father and emperor for help.At that time, I don't know what kind of trouble will come out?

Now, everything is free.

Li Ke looked at this mountain and said with emotion: "My uncle is really a good man! At least, he is really kind to my nephew. Haha..."

At this moment, Li Ke could imagine Changsun Wuji's expression after hearing that he used the clay to make money.Needless to say, that expression will definitely be very exciting.

Liu Hong introduced: "This place is called Xishan, and most of our 2000 mu of land is covered with this kind of soil. Your Highness, King Shu, should we go deeper and have a look?"

"Haha, don't read it, it's enough, let's go back."

Li Ke returned to Chang'an City, immediately began to recruit refugees, and began to build brick kilns.

As soon as those refugees heard that the king of Shu was going to recruit people again, they flocked to him immediately.

There is no way, the reputation of King Shu has already spread.

The people he recruited in the past not only had food and care, but also wages.

Most importantly, they can also live here with their families.

Although they lived in thatched huts, they were much better than they are now.

Don't call them refugees.Even if they live a stable life, they still flock to such treatment.

Looking at the dark mass of refugees in front of the Shu Palace, one can tell without counting them, there are at least several hundred of them.

These people are all skinny, sallow and emaciated.There are many people who can't even stand upright.

"Ugh……"

Li Ke let out a long sigh.

"Li Zheng, I'll leave this matter to you. Get a big pot and cook porridge for them in front of the Shu Palace. Let them have enough to eat and send them all to Xishan.

Remember, their identities are the same as yours, if you have something to say, don't beat or scold them. "

"Yes."

A servant named Li Zheng standing beside him immediately bowed and said yes.

This Li Zheng is a servant of the Shu Palace.He was here before Li Ke crossed over.I have been in Shu Palace for a long time, so I know some characters and can count some numbers.

Now Li Ke has no one to use, so he can only be used.At the very least, there is no problem with this person's loyalty.

Facts have proved that as long as these refugees can eat enough, they can still work very quickly.

Thinking about the wages of 10 Wen a day, and bonuses for good work, they are even more motivated to work.

As a result, they have at least 300 cash per month.As long as they work for a few months, they can drag their children and take their daughters home to rebuild their homes.

Therefore, these people are very grateful to the King of Shu.If the king of Shu didn't give them a job, they might have to wander outside for the rest of their lives, and someday they would become corpses on the side of the road.

Therefore, they work very hard.

They are not stingy with their strength, as long as the King of Shu gives them full control, they will have endless strength.

Every day when Li Ke went to court, he would rush over to direct them to work.

No way, although Li Ke provided them with the blueprints, some of them would read the blueprints.But he was still worried, he had to come over and stare.

A month later, Li Ke's four brick kilns were finally completed.

Li Ke was very happy. He bought a cow in Chang'an that day and killed it for them to eat.

On the second day, Li Ke personally led them to excavate the mountains to fetch soil.And start teaching them how to make bricks.

Many of these people knew how to make bricks.That is to make a lattice mold made of wood to shape the bricks one by one.

This is their brick-making process.

But soon, they discovered that they were wrong.

The mold that Li Ke got was completely different from what they got. The mold that Li Ke got was very big.

He started by putting a large block of clay into a mold to form a large brick.

Then, using a mold with 9 iron wires, cut directly like cutting tofu.

In this way, the brick embryos of 10 bricks came out.

They made one brick at a time, but Li Ke just improved the craftsmanship, but the speed was not known how many times faster.

Then, Li Ke ordered them to send carts of brick embryos into the kiln.Waiting to be fired.

Seeing that Li Ke's method is so advanced, they worked even more vigorously.

No way, this is an advanced technology.In the future, even if they stop working here and return to their hometown, they can still thrive with this skill.

In the court hall, all the officials were waiting to see Li Ke's jokes.

This fool is very hardworking every day.

However, is diligence useful?

Making bricks is a thankless job, and it is impossible to make money from it.
