Became a prodigy in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 226 What is Labor Reform

When Li Er heard this, his excitement was instantly swept away.His face immediately collapsed.

Could it be that I don't have a son to be emperor?
Li Shimin looked at his sons very unwillingly, and asked, "Do you all think so?"

Li Chengqian and his brothers nodded quickly, indicating that it is so.

Li Shimin sighed, and said: "In this case, the position of the crown prince will be left vacant for the time being! The East Palace will be temporarily occupied by Qian'er. After the new crown prince takes over, we will make other arrangements."

This is also a matter of course, there is nothing wrong with the eldest son living in the East Palace.It is impossible to leave a palace empty.

Li Chengqian was overjoyed immediately, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you, Father, for your success."

Then, Li Chengqian came to Cheng Chuli again, knelt down on both knees, and said, "Teacher, please accept the students."

Wang De was very discerning, and immediately brought a cup of tea and put it in Li Chengqian's hand.

There is no other way, in front of the emperor and all civil and military officials, the emperor agreed before, but now he can't accept it.

Cheng Chu immediately took the teacup and drank it down.

Said: "Okay! For the sake of your sincerity, I will accept you as a teacher today, and you will be their junior from now on."

Li Tai immediately changed from the third junior to the third master.This makes him very satisfied.

His wish has always been to surpass Li Chengqian.This time, no more effort.

Yes, Cheng Chuli has another disciple of the prince.

The three envoys Yamamoto Ichiro and Ashina were very disturbed.

They don't know what the hell is the reform through labor that Cheng Chuli said?

When they returned to Chengjia Village, they were untied. All 2000 people were disarmed, changed into mining-specific clothes, and sent to a mountain.

There are rows of brick houses built with red bricks.Living in this aspect is very superior.

However, it is surrounded by high walls.Soldiers with machetes and crossbows still stood here and there.

The food is not bad, anyway, there are vegetables and fatty meat, which is much better than what they used to eat.There is nothing to say about the taste.

But after lunch.A group of people were driven to the mountain to mine.

Ichiro Yamamoto was dumbfounded when he saw it. What the hell is asking us to mine?
How can this be?Who are we?
He immediately yelled loudly, "Cheng Chuli, Cheng Chuli, where are you? I want to see Cheng Chuli..."

"Snapped……"

"what……"

Suddenly, Yamamoto Ichiro received a heavy whip on the back.

"What's it called? What's it called? Hurry up, work hard, reform yourself, and strive to become a good person as soon as possible... Tell me to beat you to death again, believe it or not?"

The soldier who whipped him said harshly.

"Baga, Lu, why are you beating someone?"

Yamamoto Ichiro pointed at the soldier's nose and cursed loudly.

"Damn it, it turns out you're a thorn in the ass, brothers, beat him up..."

Immediately, several soldiers rushed up and beat Yamamoto Ichiro wildly,
The whip slapped and rattled on him.Beat Ichiro Yamamoto until he was screaming.Just hearing that sound makes one's scalp tingle.

"Hey, hey, you guys, why are you beating people? Hurry up and stop..."

When Jiro Yamamoto saw his elder brother being beaten, he immediately rushed to stop him.

result……

A few more soldiers surrounded him and gave him a violent blow.

Soon, Jiro Yamamoto and Ichiro Yamamoto rolled into a ball, and the whip was very sour on his body.

The people brought by Ichiro Yamamoto next to him rushed up to help.

The soldiers were not polite to them, they raised the crossbow in their hands and shot at them indiscriminately, five people screamed and fell in a pool of blood immediately.Soon went to see their great god.

Killing is shit.

These guys dared to come and steal their corn, which made them, the protectors of Chengjia Village, lose face. It would be no wonder if you didn't clean up.

Ashina and Yang Wanchun immediately felt their scalps go numb.

They also wanted to make a fuss with Ichiro Yamamoto just now, and went to Cheng Chuli to reason.

But after seeing the fate of the Ichiro Yamamoto brothers, they completely dismissed this idea.He shut his mouth tightly and dared not speak.

Brother Yamamoto was still cursing at the beginning.

However, when they saw that killing their people was like slaughtering chickens and dogs, they immediately understood their situation.

They deliberately provoked them to resist and took the opportunity to kill them!

Soon, they learn to behave.Quickly and loudly begged for mercy.

Seeing them begging for mercy, the soldiers stopped.

A little leader came up and said to Brother Yamamoto Ichiro: "Hello, my name is Mao Jian, and I am the person in charge here. I specialize in dealing with thorns. Here, I, Mao Jian, have the final say. I know you are their leaders. Son."

"Our family Zhong Guogong said that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Since you are their leaders, your daily mining amount will be twice as much as theirs. If you can't complete the task, then sorry, tonight , no food. Do you understand?"

Brother Yamamoto got up covered in welts, grinning in pain.

He wanted to cry but said without tears: "I understand, I understand."

Mao Jian nodded and said: "Very good, children can be taught. From today onwards, you are the prisoners of our mine. What you have to do is to mine well, reform well, and strive to become a good person as soon as possible. .”

So this is reform through labor?This word is so apt!
Ashina and Yang Wanchun were in cold sweat.

Mao Jian looked at the two of them and said, "It's the same with you. Since you are their leader, the amount of mining must be double theirs, otherwise there will be no food at night. Do you understand?"

When Ashina heard this, he immediately refused to accept it.He asked loudly: "Brother Mao Jian, we didn't make trouble, why do you want us to dig twice? You are too unreasonable."

"Ha ha……"

Mao Jian smiled.

"Brothers, tell him, here, what is the truth?"

A group of soldiers rushed forward immediately, kicked him down to the ground, and whipped the whip in his hand.

Ashina was beaten up and screamed.

The people behind Ashina wanted to rush forward to help, but when they saw the soldiers, they raised their crossbows again.

As long as they dare to take a step forward, they will launch immediately.

Immediately, they became obedient, and lowered their heads one after another, as if they hadn't seen it.

And Ashina, after tasting the whip on his body, immediately begged for mercy.

Mao Jian waved his hand, and the soldiers stopped.

"Ashina, you are very smart, you know how to beg for mercy so quickly. Since you are so smart, you should know what is the reason here, right?"

Ashina wanted to cry but had no tears, "Got it, got it."

This is really the king of Hades who is easy to provoke, and the little devil is difficult to deal with!At this point, there is really no reasoning.

Yang Wanchun's scalp was numb, and he asked weakly: "Master Mao Jian, may I ask a question?"

Mao Jian nodded and said, "See, I ask people before asking questions. That's called being good, do you understand?"

Then he said to Yang Wanchun, "Of course."

Yang Wanchun wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and said, "How long are we going to be reformed through labor here?"

Mao Jian said: "I don't know about this. This issue is decided by our family Zhong Guogong. I am only in charge of managing you. As for when you can leave, we have to wait for our family Zhong Guogong to speak."

Yang Wanchun asked: "Then how can we meet your Duke Zhong?"

Mao Jian nodded and said: "That's a good question. You can write a written application and give it to me, and I will submit it for you. This is my job. As for whether our family Zhongguo will meet you? That depends on The mood of our family is loyal to the Duke."

Yang Wanchun asked cautiously: "Then I can write the application now, can I?"

Mao Jian said: "Of course. I am a very reasonable person. I am very happy to satisfy you for such a humane request."

Yang Wanchun was overjoyed, and immediately wanted to write an application.

However, there is no paper or pen, how can I write an application?

Except for money and valuables, everything else was confiscated from them as weapons.

Well, people in Chengjia Village don't bother to take things like property, it's tantamount to robbery.

The people in our Chengjia Village are all good people, they want fame and face.

Yang Wanchun said weakly: "Brother Mao Jian, can you provide me with a pen and paper?"

"what?"

Mao Jian said in surprise: "Are you kidding me? It's not like you don't know that paper and pens are very precious things in our Tang Dynasty. I'm a bad soldier, how can I afford that thing? See? There is a grocery store over there, and the general supplies are sold, you go and ask how expensive it is?"

Do you even know that you are a stinky soldier?I thought you took yourself as someone!
Yang Wanchun slandered in his heart, and asked weakly: "Then can I go to the grocery store to sell pens and paper to write the application form?"

Mao Jian said: "Of course. In fact, I am a very talkative person. No matter who you are, as long as you have money and want to buy things, you can go to the grocery store to buy them at any time. Of course, the premise is to complete the task of the day , otherwise it will not be so easy to talk. Do you understand everything?"

Yang Wanchun was overjoyed, and hurried to that grocery store.

When I went to the grocery store, I saw that there are a lot of goods here. Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.

General daily necessities are sold here.There are even food for sale.And many of the items were never seen before.

Yang Wanchun was overjoyed at once, thinking that this would be good, even if he couldn't complete the task, it didn't matter if he didn't have food, he could spend money to come here to solve it.

Yang Wanchun searched and searched, and finally saw what he wanted,
I saw a large stack of white paper neatly placed on the shelf.Yang Wanchun had never seen paper of such good quality.

The salesperson here is also a soldier.

Yang Wanchun asked weakly: "Brother, how much is the paper?"

The salesperson said: "Oh, you ask this thing, this thing is very expensive. A piece of money is three pennies."

Three strings of money... only... one piece?
Are you so fucking sure you're not selling gold?
That's right, if calculated by weight, this thing is indeed more expensive than gold.

This is a standard A4 paper.

If you use it to write brush characters, you can't write this character at all.

Well, Yang Wanchun's brush calligraphy is still good.Just write an application form. If you try to write as small as possible, two sheets of paper should be enough.

However, even if he only bought two tickets, the money would still make Yang Wanchun very heartbroken.

Six pennies!This is enough to cover the expenses of an ordinary family for several months.

However, no matter how painful it is, the money must be spent!
Here, where is the life of people?I have to see Cheng Chuli and tell him, can we change the place?

As long as they were willing to give money, Cheng Chuli was easy to talk to.

"Give me two!"

Yang Wanchun took out the gold and said, "By the way, give me a brush as much as it costs."

Their country does not use Kaiyuan Tongbao, gold is the common currency in the world.

The salesperson said: "This writing brush is not expensive. You only pay for one. Are you sure you want one?"

Damn it, you don't care if you pay for a piece of money, isn't it expensive?
This brush looks like the cheapest one.Outside, that is the price of a few pennies.

You sell it for the usual money, and you still say it is not expensive?Pay it off?

Yang Wanchun gritted his teeth and said, "Sure, give me one. By the way, how much is the ink?"

There is no ink to sell in this era.Otherwise, there is no such thing as grinding ink.

The salesman said: "Mo is also a regular price. By the way, there is also an inkstone. This inkstone is also very cheap. It is also a regular price. Would you like to have one too?"

This inkstone is a conscience price, only a little more expensive than outside.

But Yang Wanchun was not willing to spend this money. He went outside to find a random stone, polished it himself, and it could be used as an inkstone.

After spending eight pennies of money, I bought things that I usually don't get for half a penny.

Yang Wanchun's heart aches for Du Lai!

Heartache is heartache, this application still has to be written.After getting the things, he ran to write the application in a hurry.

The salesperson was very happy, what Duke Zhong said was right.

Opening a small grocery store here is comparable to the most profitable store in Chang'an City!

All the profits made here are shared equally among the ten thousand brothers in Chengjia Village.Lord Zhongguo will not take them one point.

This is so cool, their army in Chengjia Village has something to look forward to.

How did he know?This is just small money, the real big money is yet to come!
Duke Zhong also secretly set up a brewery for them, and gave them [-]% of the shares of the [-]-strong army.

Whoever is in Chengjia Village has a share, and if they are transferred away, they will lose it.

Of course, if it is sacrificed, the money can still be distributed to their families.

Cheng Chuli also taught them to barbecue.

After these prisoners come back.The aroma of the barbecue and the temptation of the beer are their sharp weapons to make a lot of money!

Duke Zhong said that it doesn't matter even if they spend all the money, and they are allowed to pay on credit.

At that time, after their country sends the money, it will make up for them.

What are you talking about?What if their country doesn't send the money?

That doesn't matter, in this case, they will have to mine here for the rest of their lives to pay off their debts.

You don't know, they just eat a barbecue and drink a beer.Or have a meal.

At least the first six months to one year of mines must be dug here to pay off the debt.

Here, for these crooked nuts, it is a place where people can eat people without spitting out their bones.

After Yang Wanchun wrote the application form and handed it to Mao Jian, he hurriedly ran to mine.

But he, Yang Wanchun, was still too naive, and the application he wrote was handed in.But it was impossible for Cheng Chuli to see him.

Let him write the application, but just to cheat his money.

Well, that's the same sentence again, Cheng Chuli has never made money by business, but by pitfalls.

These big soldiers in Chengjia Village have learned the tricks of Cheng Chuli's tricks.

The next morning, in front of the newly built gate of Chengjia Village, there was an unprecedented wave of excitement.

The emperor came with the queen.

What followed were ministers of various ranks carrying boxes of money.

Yes, Cheng Chuli said, after paying the entrance fee.It does not cost money to eat in the factory area.

But what they didn't expect was that it didn't cost money to eat in the factory.

However, other things cost money, such as defecation.

hey-hey……

What they didn't know was that Cheng Chuli had already set up pits one after another, just waiting for them to enter.

There's no way, it's still the same sentence, this guy Cheng Chuli has never made money by business, but by cheating.
