Datang Library

Chapter 672

After participating in the mountain opening ceremony, Bai Fan left with Li Yuan and others, and handed over the site to Li Chengxun and the others. After all, the place here is not that spacious, road construction and stone blasting, transportation, paving, etc. After seeing the perfection of Kaishan, Bai Fan's worries were all gone, so he didn't stay any longer.

But after they left, when Li Chengxun and others commanded the Japanese laborers to move the stones, they couldn't command these people no matter what.

Dugu Xiude, who was in charge of the safety of the mine, asked the interpreter next to him in confusion, "What are these dwarfs talking about? If you don't hurry up and work, how long do you want to kowtow?"

The interpreter had already understood what the Wa people said, and explained with a bitter face: "General, I'm afraid something is wrong. These people are shouting that the mountain god is angry, and they dare not go up to the mountain."

This... what's the situation?
Dugu Xiude was puzzled, not only he, the guard general, was puzzled, but the chief engineer Li Chengxun also found it difficult to hear the translation's explanation. This group of people has been here for half a month, and Datang entertained them with delicious food and drink. It doesn't work, but it's still easy to work. At least no one has been lazy and messed up these few days. Why did something happen today?

"Tell them that there is meat for extra lunch today, and tell them to move the stones quickly. It's not that the mountain god is angry. Didn't they see it when we buried the explosives?" Old Li Chun dissatisfied.

An engineer below said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid it's because I let them see it. These people are short and timid. They were frightened when they saw the stones all over the sky. If I had known, I wouldn't have taken them to participate in the mountain opening ceremony."

Li Chengxun said with a smile: "It's too late to say anything now, it's better to appease them quickly and go to work."

Seeing the rows of stewards stepping up to appease the laborers, Li Chengxun felt a little bit more worried. Road construction will kill people. Exploding mountains can scare these people. If people die when building roads, will they not dare to go up? work?
Don't ever come to such a day, if this group of people are afraid of death and refuse to do it, who will they ask to do it?Is it really like Master said, looking for Shu people?
"Chief engineer, no, these people are afraid of death, and they dare not offend the mountain god even if they don't eat." An engineer came up to report.

Cui Junsu behind Li Chengxun said angrily: "Okay, since that's the case, then don't let them eat, starve them for a day, they don't do it, we Da Tang Erlang do it ourselves, don't you believe that these people can endure starvation to death?"

Li Chengxun worried: "Old Cui, if this happens, will this group of people be provoked to rebel?"

"Hmph, what are you afraid of? Foreign barbarians, can I still make a confession in the Tang Dynasty? If they dare to disagree, General Dugu's sword will not recognize anyone."

It is still Cui Junsurun, the old man has experienced storms and suffered in the mine for two years, and he has cultivated a heart as hard as a rock.

When Dugu Xiude heard this, he greatly agreed. These people said they were Japanese laborers, but after all, they were foreigners. It was a kindness for Datang not to treat them as slaves and whips. If it wasn't for Li Chengxun's sake, this general would probably have died a long time ago. Draw a knife and kill.

Soon, under the leadership of Cui Junsu, thousands of people from Datang's side left the field in person, without a single Japanese laborer, and carts and carts were busy moving stones all morning.

But the more than 2 people in the Wa Kingdom were quite at ease. Seeing that the Tang Dynasty stopped urging them, they stopped being uneasy. They quietly watched the busy people of the Datang Party. The guards of thousands of troops, these low-level Japanese laborers, did not dare to rebel.

When it was time to eat at noon, something interesting happened. Datang’s big steamed buns and big bowls of stewed meat were eaten in groups everywhere on this construction site, and everyone in the Japanese kingdom salivated.

Many Japanese people stood up and lined up to go to the food delivery place, but they were greeted by Dugu Xiude's steel knife. Everyone in the Japanese country was puzzled, what are they doing?Isn't it time to line up for dinner according to the usual rules?

"If you don't work, you have nothing to eat!" It was simple and clear, and the translation was just such a sentence, and the Japanese people were in chaos in an instant.

Many people wanted to argue a few words, but seeing soldiers with long knives out of their sheaths all around, no one dared to touch this bad luck.

More people regret it. They have watched Datang people busy all morning for nothing. It is not dangerous for them to do it, and they must be able to do it themselves!

So, as expected, some Japanese people turned around and ran directly to the quarry. Someone took the lead, and naturally someone followed. After a while, [-] laborers started to work under the scorching sun.

Cui Junsu smiled slightly after reading it, saying that it is useless to deal with ignorant people, only being straightforward is the most effective.

After a good start, the road construction project started smoothly. Half a year later, the Cui family and the Lu family had completed their training, and brought [-] laborers into Shu via the plank road, and started construction from the other end.

At the same time, the welfare of Japanese laborers, etc., were also transported to the country of Japan via the Datang Navy Fleet. Seeing these real food and clothing, the eyes of ordinary people in the country were red. The son made a fortune?
Although the monthly salary of these workers is not much, they can save a lot for half a year, and the key point is that these people have the right to purchase in Datang, so they can buy food and clothing to bring to their families.

And what does Japan lack the most?It is food and clothing. The Japanese country relies on the sea. If it depends entirely on fishing for its livelihood, with the fishing skills of that era, half of the people may starve to death.

However, the grain output of the Wa country is too low. Basically, the people are omnivores, and they eat whatever they have. It is not easy to import food from countries such as Datang. Merchants are prohibited from doing business with Japan.

Not to mention wanting to wear Tang's silk clothing, there is no place to sell them even if you buy it.

But the Japanese workers are different. In order to encourage them to come to work, the right to buy and sell is open to them. So when the accounts are settled at the end of the year, almost everyone buys money and sends them back to the country, except those who are lonely. .

The Japanese courts on both sides looked at it, good guy, a boatload of food and cloth, this is to make a fortune, before these things are distributed to the people, the Japanese court deducted [-]% in order to strengthen themselves, even so, after getting it Those families can also be called wealthy.

Seeing this, Feng Zhidai understood Datang's plan in his heart, and immediately ordered that the Eastern Japanese court protect the property of the people, but those who looted would definitely be dealt with. In this way, those who failed to go abroad to work were all jealous, and Those people from the evil gods have tasted the sweetness, and they even made a big publicity to encourage laborers to go abroad.

This matter soon spread to the three countries of the peninsula. The Japanese country has made a fortune by relying on labor. The large ship and large ship of grain goods are more than the annual trade volume of the own country. Is this worth it?
The lord of Baekje reprimanded his son Fu Yu Yici: "Last time you acted privately, and you were tricked by that little woman in Silla, killing our tens of thousands of troops, and Silla was out of control. Our Baekje is struggling. The matter of labor in Tang is an opportunity. You can go to Datang to discuss and see if we can open labor recruitment to our Baekje?
Relying on Koguryo's business, we will never get rich. "

Fu Yu Yici's eyes were dark and he said: "Father, don't worry, the child has already known the previous mistakes, and he will not be soft-hearted. This time, he must go to Datang to settle the matter."

He promised these with his mouth, but in his heart he was thinking about how to mess up the good things of the Wa Kingdom and Silla, and avenge his own blood.
