Datang Almighty Dad

Chapter 152 The Tortured Princes
"Brother, do you have any money on you? Lend me some, I have to recruit two more people to work, or else let alone three and a half days, even if you give me another three days, the wheel will still not work." Li Tai Find Li Chengqian and ask for money.

Li Chengqian glanced blankly and said: "When the three of us divided the labor, you were the youngest, and you were assigned the simplest part of the wheel. Why don't you just stare at them and let them make the wheel, and just come to me for money? I The steering wheel of the carriage is the most difficult here, all the money is spent on it, no money!"

"Impossible!" Li Tai shouted excitedly, "The queen mother said that the poor family is rich, and I secretly saw her stuffing money for you."

"Okay, you dare to follow me?"

... I haven't done much work, the money is almost spent, and the two brothers are still fighting. Li Yuanying looked at the two not far away, shook her head and smiled bitterly, why should she pretend to be strong to train these three little guys? Is it just a group of rabble, pointing at them to make a carriage?The Year of the Monkey is over, and in the end, my old uncle has to suffer along with it...

After a while, Li Ke came over to persuade the fight, "Big Brother and Fourth Brother, stop fighting, Fifth Uncle is watching."

Ga!The two stopped their hands at the same time, and Qi Qi turned to look at Li Yuanying, whoever thought Li Yuanying waved his hands playfully: "It's okay, I just pretend I don't know, you continue..."

"Ahem, Uncle Fifth Emperor, we were wrong!" Li Chengqian hurriedly admitted his mistake.

boom!
"Qingque, what are you doing? I stopped attacking and you still sneak attack?" Li Chengqian shouted angrily.

Li Tai raised his chubby head slightly, and said proudly, "Just now you made me older, I suffered a disadvantage, and now it's only fair."

Do you... do you count your fists in fights?
At this time Li Ke persuaded: "Brother, fourth brother, we don't have enough time. If you fight again, the carriage will really not be able to do it. When the time comes, ride the original carriage all the way. Which of you can stand it?"

"Brother has money and is not willing to give it away. Huh, I can't make the wheel, everyone suffers together, who is afraid of the other!" Li Tai is bold, and he is the most disobedient at a young age.

Li Ke said calmly: "Brother, there is no way to go on like this. We selected carpenters from the hundred guards, but there are only a dozen of them, which is not enough at all, and they are all half-baked, and they are useful in war." But the carpentry is not good, I think it is better to find people from the nearby villages, and find those who have been carpenters all year round."

Hmm... what the third brother said makes sense!Li Chengqian nodded approvingly. Isn't that the reason? We spent a lot of money and finally hired a group of people who made up the money. Isn't that a waste of time?
After thinking for a while, Li Chengqian said: "Qingque, don't mess around anymore. I'll give you all the dozen or so people I have to help you make wheels. Now my third brother and I will go to a nearby village to hire a carpenter. This is The 20 taels of gold given by the mother is for three of our brothers to use in emergencies on the road, besides, I hide money from my house, so I won’t beat you!"

Seeing the fierce look in his elder brother's eyes, Li Tai knew that he was not joking, so he could only nod, but he still put forward a condition: "These people can't work, and when you recruit someone back, you have to share one of them with me."

"Okay, just wait, I'm going to ask Uncle Wu Huang for leave."

Li Yuanying was happy to see the success, and thought that these three boys are not brainless, they can find problems in time and improve the plan, which is good.

Xiao Doudou looked displeased, "Daddy is biased, why won't you let me play with the three brothers? It's so fun to build a carriage together..."

"You? Make a carriage? You are going to dismantle the carriage. I don't want you to go, because I don't want you to make trouble for the three of them. They can't do it for a month without you. Besides, you see, the two of them are going to the neighborhood The village is looking for someone to help, how eye-catching is it that you are riding a lion? The villagers are scared away by you, An Jing and I are here as a spectator, and when I am bored, I will go to your fourth uncle to learn martial arts, but we are not allowed to make trouble for them." Li Yuanying scolded road.

"Huh, if you don't go, you won't go, who cares about work..." The little guy walked away arrogantly, but he thought to himself, don't let me find a chance, how dare you look down on me, if I do it, I will definitely be better than the three of them powerful.

On the second day, the three little guys finally showed satisfied smiles on their faces.The skills of the newly recruited group of people are extraordinary, much better than those of the guards, and they completed the two wheels in just half a day.

"Brother, according to this progress, we should be able to finish the carriage tomorrow night, right?" Li Tai asked.

Li Ke also looked at Li Chengqian expectantly, but Li Chengqian replied with a bitter face: "I'm afraid not, we are almost running out of money."

"What? Brother, are you secretly spending money behind our backs?" Li Tai questioned.

"What nonsense? I'm that kind of person?" Li Chengqian said angrily: "You don't know the price of firewood and rice, not only the wages we pay the craftsmen, but also the materials needed to make the carriage, as well as the tools, etc., including the workers' food. Asking us to take money, the cost of letting people leave their homes to follow us in the wilderness is naturally much higher, so..."

Does it cost money to eat?Didn't you eat with the big team?Li Tai was puzzled.Li Chengqian explained, it was agreed to train us, Uncle Wuhuang didn't show favoritism, and we paid for the meals.

then what should we do?

Li Chengqian frowned and said: "It's really impossible, we can only reduce expenses and remove the dozen or so people recruited from the guards, we can't afford it."

Li Tai objected: "No way, if they are withdrawn, who will help the craftsmen? The three of us can't lift the wood."

Looking at Fang Yuanyuan's figure, Li Ke curled his lips and said, "You can't lift it. The wheels are all done, and the rest are small parts, and they are all wood. We can move them."

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Li Chengqian stopped arguing and said: "Stop arguing, making carriages is our task, we are not enough manpower, there is nothing wrong with it, I think Uncle Wu Huang is teaching us to get close to the people , Don't rely on your status to be superior, third brother, go and explain the matter clearly, pay them a salary, and fourth brother come with me to help."

Li Tai followed up with great reluctance, looked down at his round figure under the warm sun, and couldn't help crying secretly, it's over, this figure can't be maintained anymore.

On the third day, the three of them had a few blood blisters on their hands. Seeing that the carriage gradually took shape, and no one complained of being tired, all the grievances and dissatisfaction turned into excitement and anticipation. Li Yuanying Seeing everything in his eyes, Xindao thought that he was suitable to be a teacher, at least the first class was good, and it was quite a sense of accomplishment to teach a few princes.

"Little sister, come here quickly, the frame is too heavy for us to lift, come and help me..." Li Tai beckoned to Xiao Doudou for help.

"Alright fourth brother, here we come!" Xiao Doudou dashed over.

Several craftsmen looked at the little figure, and thought to themselves, what kind of eyes does this little boy have?A group of us are struggling to carry it, why are you calling a little girl?What if something happens and someone is hit again?
Looking at this scene, Li Yuanying couldn't help but sigh with emotion, this is good, Xiao Doudou has been staring at it for three days, and it would be nice to be able to participate in it when the work is almost finished, so as to save her from being petty.

"Get out of the way, all of you, a group of adults can't even lift a carriage, they are too stupid, stand aside..."

As soon as she came up, she took the position of chief engineer. It seemed that this girl was ready to do a big job.
