Time Travel: Unrivaled in the Tang Dynasty
Chapter 177: Repairing the Wall
Yelu Chuxiong looked at the ruined palace with a pale face!
I want to curse but I don’t dare!
"Come here! Recruit skilled craftsmen and young and strong laborers from all over the country to repair the palace in the shortest time possible! Go! Go!"
The roof of the imperial palace was destroyed, but I dare not vent my anger. How frustrating!
There is a village about ten miles northwest of the Imperial City, called Lijiazhuang! Most of the people living there are fallen nobles. When their family was prosperous, they were given the surname Li by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Now their family has fallen and become ordinary people! They are exploited by the government and bandits every now and then!
The owner of Lijiazhuang is called Li Meng, he is in his forties and has a son and a daughter! The eldest daughter is Li Ling and the youngest son is Li Bao!
Lijiazhuang was originally established by Li Meng's ancestor. Later, it took in some people who were left homeless due to the war, and gradually the population reached hundreds!
Although Li Meng was the nominal owner of the manor, his life was miserable! As the number of people he took in increased, his houses and land were divided up, and it seemed like someone else was taking over his place!
Li Meng can now only live in a simple side room with his wife and children!
One day, a messenger came to Lijiazhuang, and was ordered by the king to requisition the village labor to help repair the walls of Linhuang City! The villagers were naturally reluctant, but they did not dare to disobey the king's order! They could only vent their anger on Li Meng!
"Li Meng! How can you be the owner of the manor? All the laborers in our village are working to repair the city wall. Aren't your wives and children going to starve to death at home?"
"That's right! That's right! We are the only ones left. If the bandits come, we will surely die!"
"I heard that the owner of the neighboring village gave the messenger some benefits, so only a dozen people came from the village!"
A group of people surrounded Li Meng and blamed him!
Li Meng seemed to have gotten used to the expressions of this group of people. He lowered his head and accepted it submissively!
"Why do you blame my father? My father was kind enough to take you in and gave you the house and land for free! I don't ask for your gratitude, but don't repay kindness with grievances! It's against your conscience!" Li Ling stood up. She was fifteen years old, tall and pretty, with a pair of clear big eyes that were full of spirit!
The villagers were speechless and could only throw a tantrum, making a lot of noise and refusing to leave Li Meng's house!
"Hey! You bad guys, you dare to come to General Shenbao's house to make trouble! Watch out!" Eight-year-old Li Bao stood on the roof, waving a wooden sword! When no one was paying attention, he threw handfuls of sand with his other little hand!
For a moment, the villagers who came to cause trouble were all running around to avoid him! Several fierce women picked up long poles and were about to hit him, but he untied his belt skillfully!
"Look at me, the general, turning rivers and seas upside down!" Li Bao shouted, and a stream of light yellow water fell from the sky!
bah bah bah!
Everyone retreated from the yard in a panic, cursing as they left!
"Baoer! Come down quickly! Be careful not to fall!" Li Meng's wife Xiao shouted hurriedly!
Li Bao saw the villagers retreating and climbed down from the roof carefully! He wiped his dirty face and said:
"Dad! General Shenbao is so powerful! He chased away all the bad guys! Haha!"
Li Meng looked at the naughty little guy lovingly!
Hey! That's not right! Logically speaking, this should be the time for classes in the school!
"Baoer! Did you skip class again?" Li Meng asked seriously!
"No! Daddy! There will be no classes in school today! The teacher has been summoned to the palace!" Li Bao replied in a low voice, and it can be seen that he is still very afraid of his father!
Li Meng took a look at Li Bao's cloth bag, which was bulging with sand and stones! He didn't know where the book had been thrown!
Sigh softly! Forget it, let him be! Every boy has a martial arts dream when he was young!
"Daddy is going to repair the city wall. You and sister stay at home and don't cause any trouble!"
"Don't worry, Daddy! I will protect Mom and sister!" Li Bao wiped his nose and promised solemnly!
But not long after Li Meng went out, Li Bao also followed him secretly!
