Zhao Yuan inspected the busy construction site as he went.
He then instructed Song Wan beside him.
"He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world."
"If Liangshan wants to grow bigger, it cannot do without the support of the local people."
"Don't ruin Liangshan's reputation just to save money and food."
"Don't worry, Chieftain, we know all that,"
Song Wan assured,
"Meat is served every two days, and there's plenty of food every day,"
"The wages and rations for the hired workers are paid every five days,"
“I’ve been personally overseeing all of these matters,”
"It will never go wrong."
"That's good,"
Zhao Yuan nodded in satisfaction.
The two walked along the busy construction site,
Keep moving forward.
Soon they arrived at the place where the city wall was being built with rammed earth.
As soon as they got close,
Zhao Yuan then heard Li Kui's shouts.
"Haha, who's the little bird here to challenge me?"
"Is this bastard up to trouble again?"
Zhao Yuan chuckled and complained.
"The chieftain has guessed wrong,"
Song Wan laughed,
"Brother Li Kui is now the hardest worker on our construction site."
"Oh?"
Zhao Yuan was filled with curiosity.
Step forward,
All that could be seen ahead was...
A number of people who were taking a break were gathered around the city wall.
They seemed to be watching the show.
Instead of bursts of cheers,
Zhao Yuan and Song Wan approached and took a look.
All I saw was that scoundrel Li Kui,
Alone
Bare-chested
His dark, muscular physique was revealed.
He was tightly holding the stone pillar used for ramming the earth.
It would normally take four or five men to lift such a stone pillar.
Li Kui actually carried it all by himself!
If that were all, it would be fine.
Li Kui, the Black Whirlwind,
He even carried the stone pillar by himself.
One after another,
Start compacting the loess soil beneath our feet!
After working like this for almost fifteen minutes,
Li Kui finally exhausted his strength.
He put down the stone pillar he was holding...
Chapter 908 Gambling
"How was it? I won, didn't I?"
Just as the stone pillar was placed down,
Li Kui, that dark-skinned fellow, looked smug.
Looking at the men beside him who had just been lifting stone pillars and ramming the earth together...
"A bet's a bet, pay up! Pay up!"
"Chief Li, you're really strong!"
With so many people watching,
The men couldn't very well go back on their word.
He could only dejectedly take out half a string of coins from his pocket.
It was handed to Li Kui.
"We originally wanted to beat you and earn more!"
"Hehe, my strength is nothing compared to what's considered strong on Liangshan Mountain,"
Black Whirlwind boasted,
"On Liangshan Mountain, there are many people stronger than me,"
“Especially our chieftain brother, he’s even more…”
He had only spoken halfway through his sentence when
Li Kui suddenly noticed it.
Zhao Yuan and Song Wan stood in the crowd.
My heart immediately began to groan.
My goodness!
Why is my brother here?
That bastard Song Wan,
You didn't even warn me!
On Liangshan,
Gambling has always been prohibited.
This was a blow to Black Whirlwind, who was always a gambler.
Naturally, my hands were itching to get started.
That's why this happened at the construction site.
A scene of him competing with those men in tamping the earth.
"Alright, that's enough!"
Li Kui quickly raised his hand to shoo away the onlookers.
"Hurry up! Let's get to work! Let's get to work!"
"Chief Li, why aren't we competing anymore?"
"Could it be that he's run out of energy?"
"How can you stop gambling once you've won?"
.....
The men watching were making a ruckus.
They were dispersed by Li Kui.
After driving these people away,
Black Whirlwind then chuckled dryly and walked over to Zhao Yuan and Song Wan.
"Brother, I...I am..."
"This will not be repeated,"
Zhao Yuan interrupted him directly.
"Ugh?"
Black Whirlwind was stunned for a moment.
It was only then that I realized...
Zhao Yuan was not planning to pursue his gambling behavior.
He nodded quickly.
"That's good, that's good..."
But before he could finish speaking,
Zhao Yuan continued speaking.
"But since you like rammed earth so much, why don't you keep ramming it here?"
"Keep working until the city walls are built!"
"Ugh?"
Li Kui was stunned for a moment.
"Didn't my brother say this is a one-time exception?"
"I only said it was a one-time thing, did I say I wouldn't punish you?"
"No, no."
Black Whirlwind nodded helplessly.
"Since it's my brother's order, I'll do it."
Look at that dark-skinned fellow, his face full of grievance.
Zhao Yuan chuckled as he gave his instructions.
"This city was built to deal with the government troops next year,"
"This is the most important thing,"
"Stop messing around, just do it properly!"
"I understand!"
Li Kui scratched his head.
Zhao Yuan spoke earnestly.
He did listen to what was said.
After resting for a while,
Then he raised the stone pillar again.
