Chapter 72 His Majesty appoints the road-building general(1/2)
"Fourteen, why are there gaps in the road?"
As the two were walking, Li Shimin suddenly spoke and looked at the gap in the ground.
Along the way, Li Shimin saw the gaps that could be seen at regular intervals, which made him a little curious.
"Father, that is an expansion gap. Cement roads are different from concrete. Once they are hot, they will expand and then crack. Leave a gap to prevent it from breaking."
Li Ming explained with a smile.
He is naturally clear about this common sense issue.
So I already warned you when building the road.
"That's it!"
Li Shimin nodded.
But just after the two responded.
The sound of galloping horses from behind reached my ears.
Both of them were stunned and looked behind them subconsciously.
Soon the two horses came running wildly.
Getting closer.
"The Qin family, and those two boys from the Cheng family."
After being slightly stunned, Li Shimin chuckled and spoke.
The two people on the horse soon noticed the figure in front of them.
In shock, he quickly tightened the reins.
When they were still more than a hundred steps away, they dismounted directly.
Qin Huaidao and Cheng Chuliang quickly stepped forward.
Quickly salute Li Shimin.
"See Your Majesty!"
The two of them were a little cautious, and their expressions changed extremely at this moment.
They originally squatted with Li Ming in the Shaofu, but they didn't make it. They had no choice but to return directly and prepare to visit again tomorrow.
I didn't expect that when I returned, I would not only see Li Ming, but also Li Shimin.
"No need to be polite."
"You guys are good."
Li Shimin nodded and expressed his affirmation.
And hearing Li Shimin's affirmation, although the two of them were at a loss, they couldn't help but feel happy in their hearts.
After all, it is a great honor for them to be praised by His Majesty the Emperor.
And in joy.
Cheng Chuliang's eyes lit up, he glanced at Li Ming, and then he couldn't help but speak.
"Your Majesty, can I lead the troops?"
"I would like to help His Majesty clear the desert."
Cheng Chuliang's voice sounded guilty.
"Lead troops?"
After being stunned for a moment, Li Shimin also looked at Li Ming.
"Father, I think this road construction is not a battle of leading troops. The command of thousands or even tens of thousands of people will undoubtedly train the two Liang Jun's commanding abilities. If the two generals can lead this road construction well,
, I think it is possible to lead tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops in the future."
Looking at Li Shimin's eyes and Cheng Chuliang's eyes, Li Ming's mouth curved and he spoke immediately.
Just kidding, how could such a top talent let them run away?
There are still many big projects ahead.
If there is not enough commander-in-chief, how can he manage it by himself? What a joke.
Since you are a contractor, don’t run away.
But this voice instantly made Cheng Chuliang a little dumbfounded.
After a while.
Cheng Chuliang looked sad.
"Your Highness, you can't do this!"
He was really dumbfounded at this moment.
I originally thought that with the help of Li Shimin's praise, I could change something, but this is good. Not only can he not seem to be able to get rid of it, but he has become even deeper.
"Haha, Fourteen, what you said makes sense, you should just exercise."
"If it can be completed well, so what if I let you lead an army!"
Li Shimin glanced at Li Ming funny, and naturally felt what his son meant. At this time, he naturally did not refute, and answered casually with a smile.
Cheng Chuliang opened his mouth to continue speaking, but was stopped by Qin Huaidao.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Qin Huaidao bowed.
Although Cheng Chuliang was a little reluctant, at this moment he could only reluctantly speak the same way.
"Fourteen, let's go!"
"It's time for us to go back!"
Looking at the expressions of the two people, Li Shimin smiled, then turned around and got on his horse.
"No!"
Li Ming responded, looked at the two of them, the corners of his mouth curved, and his figure also mounted.
"Do your best, I won't treat you badly."
"There will be some on the battlefield."
"By the way, His Royal Highness King Wei proposed to me before that we go to Hebei to recruit refugees to build a building. You two should make preparations and set off in a few days."
The two mounted their horses, and Li Shimin spoke to them.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The two bowed.
Then he watched everyone leave.
Until the horses completely disappeared from sight.
Cheng Chuliang finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Brother Huaidao, what do you mean, why don't you let me say it?"
Cheng Chuliang spoke with annoyance.
"Don't you see that His Majesty has already obeyed the words of His Royal Highness King Wei? It would be better for us not to get into trouble."
Qin Huaidao answered with a wry smile.
"But aren't we ordered to build roads? When can we lead troops?"
Cheng Chuliang sat down on the ground, looking increasingly helpless.
Their search seems to be more doomed.
Before, it was only King Wei who asked them to build roads. Now, His Majesty the Emperor has asked them to start building roads.
"That's all we can do now."
"And what His Royal Highness King Wei said may not be wrong."
"Did you just listen to His Majesty's words? Let us go to Hebei to recruit refugees. Now there is a severe drought in Hebei. There may be hundreds of thousands of refugees. If we can manage these people well, I am afraid that we can easily do it with hundreds of thousands of troops."<
/p>
Qin Huaidao shook his head and spoke softly.
At this moment, his eyes twinkled a little.
"This!"
"Refugee?"
Cheng Chuliang was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously.
