I am engaged in construction in Datang

Li Xiaoqi asked everyone to move around freely first to experience the horror of the sea water, and then take everyone out to sea in the afternoon.

Lin Shuisheng ran in the front.

The shells on the beach reflected the bright light, and the waves beat against the boulders on the shore.

This is not a dock, there are not many boats, only two or three brave local men having fun.

He walked to the beach, squatted down, touched the cold sea water with his fingers, and then put it in his mouth to taste it.

“Pah, pah, pah…”

"Sea fruit tastes really bad."

Lin Shuisheng stood up and looked at the sea. A cold wind with moisture blew and found its way into his collar.

Soon, he might be spending a long time at sea.

Thinking about this, he took off his hat, and then quickly took off his cotton coat, sweater, undershirt, and cotton pants...

"Hey! Are you going to die?"

A huge force came and pinned Lin Shuisheng to the beach.

"?"

Lin Shuisheng crossed his arms over his chest to protect himself, and looked at the young man above with confusion.

"My dear young man, please listen to my advice. Life is beautiful!"

The other person had dark skin and smiled at Lin Shuisheng with a mouthful of white teeth.

"No, I don't want to hang myself."

"You don't want to go swimming in the sea, do you?" The other person looked at him as if he were an idiot. "What's the difference between this and hanging yourself?"

"In today's weather, you'll lose consciousness in ten minutes if you go down there, and you'll just have to wait for death."

As he spoke, he raised his head and glanced casually, then immediately let go of Lin Shuisheng and ran to the other side.

He ran and yelled, "Hey! The one who wants to go into the sea, stop now!"

After a period of chaos, Li Xiaoqi gathered the troops again.

He was soaked, his lips were pale and trembling...

"Hey, I didn't expect the sea to be so dangerous."

If the locals hadn't reacted quickly, he would be gone by now.

The people below looked at him secretly. It turned out that Li Xiaoqi had never seen the sea... No wonder they were asked to go and see the power of the sea for themselves.

Li Xiaoqi looked a little embarrassed, and he said, "I found some fishermen nearby, and we will go out to sea with them this afternoon."

"..." Everyone was silent.

……

in the palace.

The 600 eunuchs packed up their small packages and stood in the open space in front of the palace, all with confused looks on their faces.

Suddenly, they lost their jobs... No, it’s not really unemployment, they just had to do other jobs.

Seems like that’s not bad either?

I heard that the place is very confidential and was built by Nuzhuang and His Majesty together, and officials from the Ministry of Works are not qualified to interfere.

Judging from the various recruitment conditions of the Nuzhuang Factory, the living conditions must be good.

What's more, they can stay away from this increasingly strange palace, which may be a good thing!

The optimistic ones figured it out immediately and even had the mood to secretly eat some pastries.

Wang De led the team personally this time. As one of Li Shimin's most trusted people, he naturally had the right to enter the military factory.

"Xiao Muzi." A eunuch approached the person next to him quietly and said, "What are you doing? Isn't it Eunuch Su? How could he bear to let you come?"

Xiao Muzi replied seriously: "Gan Ye said this is a good opportunity, and said that I am not suitable to stay in the palace, so he asked me to follow him."

"Did you say anything else?"

"No." Xiao Muzi shook his head, not realizing that he was being tricked.

Mount Li was not close to this place, so everyone had to go there by ox cart.

Li Shimin, Empress Zhangsun and Li Yin sat in the administrative office of the military factory, drinking tea and eating cakes.

"Stepsister."

Li Shimin looked at Li Yin with pretended sincerity: "These people may be a little different from ordinary people."

"..." Li Yin didn't want to answer, but had to follow Li Shimin's words and continue: "Oh? What's the difference?"

"When they were in the army before, the enemy poisoned their food!"

“……”Empress Changsun glanced at Li Shimin and pointed her finger.

Li Yin's expression was just the right amount of anger: "Damn it, those barbarians really deserve to die!"

Li Shimin secretly felt pain and sighed with gnashing teeth: "The voices and faces of those people changed afterwards. It's a pity."

"Brother is right." Li Yin also pretended to be serious.

Most of the eunuchs in the palace were poor people, prisoners, or people with congenital disabilities, and only a small number of them came for wealth and glory.

Now that the economy is becoming more prosperous, fewer and fewer poor people will become eunuchs.

The other three types of people can be solved slowly. After all, this is not a small problem that can be solved with just a few words.

"Brother, which army are you going to equip with this batch of guns and ammunition?"

There is no need to say much about the Black Armor Army and the Qianniu Guards; Li Shimin's personal troops must be fully staffed.

"How about picking one from the right guard?"

Li Shimin had thought about this question, so he answered it without much hesitation.

"Brother, is the Right Guard General the Duke of Chen?"

Li Yin understood why as soon as she heard it. Li Shimin wanted to persuade Gaochang with humanitarian means. Just like in his previous life, the other party still chose Hou Junji.

It's a pity that Lao Hou is insatiable and easily inflated, thinking himself to be very great.

This person does have some ability, but he is too stupid.

"Yes." Li Shimin nodded. Hou Junji was indeed a good general.

"Brother, you know that I have met Duke Chen."

Hearing this, Empress Chang Sun immediately understood what Li Yin meant. She frowned and asked, "Is there something wrong with this person?"

"Mr. Kong Ming once taught his generals, 'A general should not be arrogant. Arrogance leads to disrespect. Disrespect leads to alienation. Alienation leads to rebellion.'"

Li Yin pondered for a moment and said, "What if Duke Chen becomes even more pretentious after he conquers Gaochang?"

"Stepsister."

Li Shimin smiled calmly: "It is difficult to have the best of both worlds. Some people are suitable for certain environments but not for others."

"It's like honey dipped in poison."

After hearing this, Li Yin and Empress Changsun remained silent.

Li Shimin continued, "I know that my sister wants the people to have enough food and clothing, wants the Tang Dynasty to prosper, and wants everyone who has made contributions to live out their lives in peace."

"But that's not how things are in this world."

Li Yin sighed, as expected of Old Li: "Then let's choose the right guard."

She was thinking wrongly. It turned out that everyone knew what was going on. Suddenly, an absurd idea circled in her mind.

Could it be that Hou Junji also knew about this?

For some people, they would rather be killed than change their character.

And when that character flaw is fatal, this person will also...

Empress Changsun couldn't bear it and asked, "Erlang, is there any chance of turning this around?"

Li Yin also looked at Li Shimin, and she felt there was little room for maneuver.

"The decision-making power is not in our hands. We should see what he thinks." Li Shimin also didn't want Hou Junji to make a mistake. After all, he was a man who had followed him in battles all over the world, so there had to be some friendship between them.

"That's indeed the case." Li Yin nodded and began to calculate in her mind.

The eunuchs over there finally arrived in the deep mountains and looked at the huge base in surprise.

According to Eunuch Wang De, they only need to worry about work every day, and only for four hours, and the rest of the time is free to arrange as they please.
