Tang Jian looked at Li Tai. Although he was prepared, he did not expect that Li Tai would come to him because he was short of people.
It really makes no sense!
Generally, when it comes to construction projects, not to mention that all the materials are fully prepared, it is considered a benevolent government if you can prepare food alone.
After all, some people participate in corvee labor, so they have to prepare their own food.
But this kind of thing becomes different when it comes to King Yue.
Not to mention, all the Eastern Turkic coolies can eat white steamed buns and fragrant meals, and when they are thirsty, they can drink the cool boiled water.
This is not a labor service. It is still unknown whether the vast majority of the people I have seen have these coolies to be happy.
Especially some of these people, as long as they can recognize enough Chinese characters and communicate in Chinese simply, they will immediately enjoy almost the same treatment as Gaoling's corvee.
From this point on, when they were eating, the steamed buns were no longer limited to be eaten and they could be eaten open.
They can drink chicken soup or egg soup when eating, and sometimes they can even occasionally eat chicken and duck meat.
To be honest, these Eastern Turkic coolies are all the bottom of the entire Eastern Turkic.
The Turkic nobles did not have their share when they ate meat and drink wine. On the contrary, they had to live with water and plants every year. The lambs they worked hard to cultivate were not their own property, but their own property, and they did not even have personal freedom.
.
Originally, they were traded to the Tang Dynasty by the nobles of the Eastern Turks, but to be honest, they were already desperate.
Their vague national glory was shattered directly.
After all, for most slaves who do not even have personal freedom, there is no word for moral integrity.
Relatively speaking, the only thing these people want is to survive, especially after the failure of the riot and let them clearly know that they could not escape, these Eastern Turkic people naturally worked wholeheartedly.
Of course, there will definitely be people who are passive and slacking off, but there are also people who are positive. Those who are positive will immediately improve their treatment because of their own efforts, at least at this time they enjoy the same treatment as those of Chinese corvee.
However, the Turkic language is not allowed in work, and now the unified use of Chang'an local speeches are all used.
Of course, if it was time to get off work, Li Tai did not forbid them to chat in their hometown dialect, but it was not possible at work.
Because I need to strengthen their Chinese environment, and if they are cross-infected, they can quickly master Chinese.
No matter what, Li Tai exchanged the treatment he promised, and these Eastern Turks were even more motivated.
Because as long as they learn more Chinese characters, they can even let themselves take care of their former tribe members!
For anyone, nothing gives them more motivation to learn than the right to reality.
At this moment, no matter whether those Turkic people who have mastered some Chinese want to learn more Chinese, or those who have not yet learned Chinese want to improve their living environment and take the initiative to learn, no matter what, these Turkic people have begun to work hard.
Seeing that the students in Youzhou Academy were good at education, Li Tai also began to arrange students from the Agricultural Academy to take on the tasks of these Youzhou students as their assistants.
After all, everything is difficult at the beginning. The students of Youzhou Academy have been helping these Turkic people who don’t understand half of the Chinese characters to speak slowly in Chinese for the past few months. It can be said that the most difficult step has been taken.
After all, the students in Youzhou come to study and cannot be exploited to death.
Even if Li Chunfeng asked, what was his student mainly responsible for after coming to Chang'an?
Li Tai can't say that he is mainly responsible for being a teacher to the Eastern Turks.
Therefore, as the new semester is about to begin, these students should be put back to school and continued to be trained.
Moreover, Li Tai also needed to start education for these alien races, which was to let liberal arts students start to promote the prosperity and civilization of the Tang Dynasty, and let these Turks know that the Tang Dynasty was the beacon of civilization in this era.
Any backward civilization will eventually admire the prosperous advanced civilization.
This is also why many nomadic peoples were able to invade the Central Plains, but as long as they entered the Central Plains, they would soon be assimilated when they saw the advanced civilization of the Central Plains.
This ability of assimilation was almost ineffective against the alien races around the Tang Dynasty, especially the Eastern Turkic people who were destroyed by Li Jing.
Although they have the concept of the Eastern Turks, they may not necessarily have patriotic feelings.
In fact, their request is just for a meal, and it is a luxury to propose nationalism to them.
Then, Li Tai encouraged the liberal arts students to tell these aliens about their sufferings, saying that they worked hard all year, but they might not be able to fill their stomachs. In summer, they had to compete with livestock for food, and in winter, they were not allowed to do so.
I wanted to squeeze into bed with the livestock, but when the livestock grew up, I was pulled away by the Turkic nobles and didn't even give me a single hair.
Why is this happening? It is because the Turkic nobles don’t regard you as human beings, but our Tang Dynasty is different. The Tang Dynasty regards you as human beings. The Tang Dynasty teaches you to read and be polite, and more importantly, you can eat as long as you work.
Meal!
Even if you don’t believe in our sincerity, you must believe the fragrant steamed buns you eat, it’s so fragrant!
In short, we must first complain together, and then we must use the noble class and above of the old Turks as the targets of condemnation.
If you scold me, I will scold you. After scolding you together, you will be able to understand the good things about the Tang Dynasty, and it will naturally be easier to educate.
After all, the Eastern Turks have perished, and they want to revive the Turks or something. To be honest, this has nothing to do with these people at the bottom.
Even Jie Li Khan himself was a cruel guy, and his reputation was no essential difference from many kings who had lost their country.
At most, he became a member of Li Jing’s military achievements. For Li Jing’s sake, he would just raise his commander value a little.
Under such circumstances, once these Turkic people abandon the shackles of the Turkic people and find that it would be even better to integrate into the Tang Dynasty, they will naturally try their best to integrate into the Tang Dynasty.
After all, what's the best for being a people who are destroyed? Now I have the opportunity to be a dog in the Tang Dynasty. No, they are from the Tang Dynasty. What's the point of being unhappy about them? They all become diligent in moving bricks.
In this way, after several months of running-in, this batch of Eastern Turkic labor has improved quite well.
Next, Li Tai needs more labor, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't speak Chinese.
Because a qualified Eastern Turkic Petri dish Li Tai has been created.
As long as the Eastern Turks are constantly throwing in, they will be spread through up and down, psychological suggestion, environmental impact, and cross-infection. In about three months, ordinary Turks can transform their jobs into loyal and patriotic Turkic Tang Dynasty.
youth.
So at the beginning, Li Tai did not urge Tang Jian. Honglu Temple sent Turkic labor in groups of three or three, so he accepted it and stuffed it in and trained it together.
But now, this Eastern Turkic Petri dish has become a mature Eastern Turkic Petri dish. Li Tai does not need to continue watching, but just throw the Eastern Turkic labor into it.
But unfortunately, the efficiency of Honglu Temple cannot keep up with the labor efficiency that Li Tai wants.
Li Tai had no excuses to look for Tang Jian for a while, so he could only wait... until the materials were about to be liquidated!
That’s right. With the end of wheat harvest in May, the farmers’ officials have successfully implemented it, but more importantly, the liberated slack farmers can go to the nearby Gaoling area to work and make money.
This made factories that were not even considered normal operations start to operate overload.
Relying on the tactics of the sea of people, the materials that can be produced by factories have also begun to increase sharply.
Now let alone the various materials needed for the construction of Zhengbaiqu, even if the bamboo helmets and uniform clothing distributed to the construction site are all stuffed with warehouses, it is easier for people on the construction site to change gloves once a week.
It's right.
It can be said that Li Tai took Tang Jian to visit several warehouses he had accumulated. In the end, Tang Jian had to admit that there were actually situations with supplies and people, which gave Tang Jian a real headache.
"Why don't you recruit local people from Gaoling to renovate Zhengbaiqu!" Tang Jian couldn't help but say.
"Not to mention that some people have been handed over to Liyong, otherwise how could Gaoling have a corvee service specifically responsible for the service!"
Li Tai explained, "What's more important is that these people can dispatch, I have already dispatched them.
But in order to complete the Zhengbai Canal as soon as possible, the three canals started construction almost at the same time, and it took only two years to build the canal.
So, there are so many periods to waste. Aye is waiting, and the family members of the aristocratic families are watching!"
Li Tai looked at Tang Jian and continued, "Tang Honglu, you are in charge of diplomacy. Can you give me a word? Can you get some Turkic labor? If not, I will naturally not come to urge you in the future.
”
When Tang Jian heard Li Tai's words, his face couldn't help but feel a little red and a little green.
After all, when Li Taira and Tang Jian bought shares, they had already agreed with Li Tai that the Honglu Temple was responsible for attracting foreigners.
But Tang Jian did not expect that now Li Tai urged him to continue to go to the Eastern Turkic people.
Tang Jian hesitated for a moment and said, "There will be laborers soon. Please rest assured, King Yue!"
"How long will it take soon? I am a honest person. Tang Honglu, don't lie to me. I'm very naive. I believe whatever I say!"
When Li Tai heard Tang Jian’s relief, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, but said shamelessly.
When Tang Jian heard this, he just smiled simply, saying that he didn't say anything. King Yue said anything, right!
However, Li Tai looked serious and said, "Tang Honglu, I don't care who else can you find to do labor."
If money is needed, I am willing to give a hundred cents of heads to every normal laborer. If I die, I will compensate me for a pension until Zheng Baiqu is completely completed. This is my bottom line."
Tang Jian nodded when he heard Li Tai's words, and had to say that this is the best thing to do for Li Tai.
Because Li Tai is very willing to spend money, and the money is actually quite large.
After all, this money is not just bought out, and it is only given to the introduction person.
There are not many individuals alone, but in fact, there are not many people who need to renovate Zheng Baiqu, and not many tens of thousands of people. If you can really get 100,000 foreigners, Li Tai will definitely give this ten thousand yuan to pay.
But the reality is that at this time, Li Tai felt quite terrifying that the Honglu Temple could get 10,000 aliens.
After all, the Tang Dynasty has not yet reached its peak, and at most it has only suppressed the Eastern Turks in the north.
Tuyuhun in the west, Goguryeo in the east, and even the south, were not completely quiet.
Under such circumstances, there are actually not many aliens who have settled in Chang'an now, let alone work as laborers.
"But please save the money first, King Yue!" Tang Jian said, "You don't know if you still remember that the saint once ordered the purchase of 80,000 men and women in Chinese people due to the Sui rebellion. Return to his family.”
"Huh?" Li Tai was stunned when he heard Tang Jian's words. He didn't seem to be very clear about the news, or in other words, his channels for matters in the court were indeed limited.
Tang Jian continued, "This matter is being held accountable by Honglu Temple, but in the troubled times of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, how can we find family members?
Now, only 20,000 people are looking for their families. In addition, most people can no longer find their families, even their villages.
So I was originally going to write a letter to the saint, whether I would directly place it in the border areas!"
"I want it, I want it all!" Li Tai said without hesitation at this moment, "We have no choice but to save the Chinese people."
"Oh~" Tang Jian nodded when he heard Li Tai's words,
"The King of Yue is a honest person. I naturally believe what you said.
But if these more than 60,000 people want to be placed near Chang'an, they must need the consent of the saint and Fang Xiang.
If these two people can't pass, then I have no choice. After all, Honglu Temple can only manage the outside but the inside!"
"Thank you to Tang Honglu to remind me!" Li Tai said to Tang Jian with a happy expression,
"By the way, I heard that Tang Honglu likes to enjoy wine. Behind my carriage are a few jars of wine they brewed themselves, which tastes a bit hot. I hope Tang Honglu likes it."
"Wine~" Tang Jian couldn't help but suck his mouth, but he was a little moved, but he looked embarrassed.
Li Tai smiled and said, "The Tang Dynasty's prohibition on alcohol has long been lifted, and what is the point of sending some wine between colleagues to each other.
This is not a valuable matter. Tang Honglu took a stadium and could enhance friendship with his colleagues from Honglu Temple.
As for the rest, please point me to let me move it over!"
"This...this is disrespectful!" Tang Jian replied with a smile.
When Li Tai saw Tang Jian accepting it, he didn't say much. He continued to say a few words to each other and said goodbye. After all, he really needed these tens of thousands of people!
Tang Jian watched Li Tai leave and muttered,
"The King of Yue really doesn't see a rabbit or a hawk. If I didn't reveal this information, I'm afraid that this wine would be even more undesirable.
However, Xuan Ling looked at it accurately. King Yue was indeed very interested in this group of people!
Giving them to King Yue can also be considered as giving these people a trap!”
No matter what, Li Tai's ability to accommodate the people was recognized by the entire court.
