Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 131 Goodbye Changle
To be honest, Ma Zhou directly killed a group of East Turkic laborers so cruelly, which Li Tai never thought about.

After all, Ma Zhou has always given himself the impression that he is a gentle and refined scholar from a poor family.

Even though he has become his right-hand man, he has never done anything unruly.

This time, it actually fueled the riots of these Turkic laborers, and then directly and completely suppressed these Turkic laborers with the help of the riots of Turkic laborers, killing them completely.

Originally, Li Tai felt that it was a little too much, but after that, even Li Tai found that the Turkic labor became much gentler.

Let them work and work, let them study and study, and there is no resistance.

At this time, Li Tai had a somewhat full understanding of "barbarians and di, like beasts, who are afraid of power but not virtuous".

It is actually a bit immature to think that as long as I treat these East Turkic laborers well, give them rewards and performance, and then educate them, they will naturally gradually integrate into Chinese culture.

Because their growth environment is different from that of the Han people, the kindness and kindness possessed by the Chinese people does not exist for these East Turkic laborers.

So if you want them to be obedient, you must show your strength!

They are born to follow the strong, the kindness given to them by the weak is just weakness in their eyes, but the kindness given to them by the strong is a gift to them.

Without Ma Zhou's direct massacre this time, the Eastern Turkic laborers would not have any gratitude to Li Tai and Datang.

But after Ma Zhou did this once, these Eastern Turkic laborers seemed to have suddenly awakened.

They feel that compared to their previous lives, even working as coolies is more like a human being than their original life!
This scene made Li Tai seem a bit unbelievable, but the reality proved that Ma Zhou was right.

These Eastern Turkic laborers began to work hard.

Li Tai pressed his head, to be honest, this riot was indeed beyond Li Tai's expectations.

Li Tai recorded this incident, and next time he returned to the palace, he had to ask Li Shimin to arrange for troops to be stationed nearby.

However, from Li Tai's point of view, it was very dangerous, but from Ma Zhou's point of view, it was a matter of course.

Since Li Tai wanted to use the labor of these East Turks on a large scale, the rules must be established from the very beginning.

Otherwise, when the number of alien races has increased and the unscrupulous people composed of veterans in Gaoling have no way to suppress them, if these East Turkic laborers riot, Ma Zhou will not feel sorry for the death or injury of laborers, but the slack peasants and corvees in Gaoling will be affected. That Ma Zhou was hard to accept.

Therefore, it is better to extinguish the flames in the hearts of these East Turks earlier.

And the East Turkic people, who understand that they are weak, are naturally much easier to use.

What Li Tai said was to teach them to learn Chinese and practice Chinese etiquette, so naturally they could be caught at this time.

After receiving the basic education, Ma Zhou selected the learning activists among them. Among the approximately 30 laborers, more than [-] people jumped, and handed them over to the attendants sent by Honglu Temple for key teaching.

Not only is the attitude towards these people much better, especially when these people can communicate in half-baked Chinese intermittently, Ma Zhou immediately raised their treatment.

The treatment that Ma Zhou gave them to eat was similar to that of the Gaoling corvee. For example, in addition to pickles, they not only relaxed the restriction on eating steamed buns, but also had egg soup, and occasionally even chicken.

As soon as this effect was shown, their attitudes were completely different, and they were even able to walk sideways amidst the Turkic labor.

And Ma Zhou went one step further and asked these translators to say that whoever masters [-] Chinese characters first can become a corporal or centurion who manages their Turkic people. , immediately got up.

For many low-level Turkic people, they suddenly discovered that it seems that there is nothing wrong with being a dog for Datang.

In fact, before the Qing Dynasty, China was the beacon of East Asian civilization. As for the attraction of the Tang Dynasty itself to the surrounding alien races, it was endless.

It's just that the Turkic people had a bit of national pride when they ruled the prairie, but the reality is that when this kind of national pride faced Datang, the Asian lighthouse, it would be great if they could start a wave of riots.

The failure of a wave of riots, whether it is the law of survival of the strong on the grassland, or the attraction of the lighthouse of civilization to the grassland tribes, almost made them accept their fate.

At least eating the buns in their mouths and drinking the salty soup with egg flowers. For these Turkic people who are willing to learn Chinese, what's wrong with being a dog for Datang? !
Therefore, the entire Zhengbaiqu project began to progress continuously with the efforts of hardworking East Turkic laborers.

As time slowly entered February, as far as Li Tai knew, Li Chengqian went to Li Gang's house more and more frequently, and Li Chengqian even delivered medicine to Li Gang himself.

It's just that Li Gang's waking hours are getting shorter and shorter every day, as if he will die at any time.

But it was Li Chengqian's behavior that made the court officials lament Li Chengqian's excellence.

"It looks like Li Gang is going to die, so I don't know how long he can last!"

Li Tai looked at the information about Li Chengqian sent by Baihe and sighed slightly.

I didn't even think that it was Li Chengqian who helped Changle come here!
As for how to find out, as long as you are willing to give money in the palace, there is basically no so-called secret.

Li Chengqian has someone who is willing to serve Li Chengqian so quickly, this is the prince's advantage!
Unlike me, I need to prove myself with my ability, and then I have established an agricultural school to be effective.

Even at this time, these people have not really formed a basic base in politics, it can only be said that they have a trend.

Even though he has been trained for two years, Li Tai is far inferior to Li Chengqian in terms of power in the court.

Otherwise, I don't need to float in Gaoling all the time. Isn't it easy to go to Chang'an?

But the reality is that I have almost no power in the Chang'an court, so I still go out to do practical things and avoid direct collisions with the court. This is my advantage.

Thinking of this, Li Tai is also very envious of Li Chengqian!

And just when Li Tai was thinking about it, Lu Cai approached Li Tai, and it was the students from Youzhou Academy who had arrived!
Li Tai was taken aback, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that these people came at the right time!

Their arrival directly made up for the shortage of teachers and management personnel.

The Turkic people had already been polished by Ma Zhou. Although these people who knew the Turkic language were only fifteen or sixteen years old and looked quite immature, they understood the Turkic language and understood Wang Zhenru's Gaoling corvee model.

To some extent, because of their joining, Ma Zhou's management costs have dropped a lot.

Once again, Ma Zhou felt that Li Tai was planning ahead. The most difficult communication problem with these Turkic corvee workers had been made up to the greatest extent with the arrival of these Youzhou exchange students.

At least these Turkic coolies could only be allowed to do very rough work, but with the arrival of this group of Youzhou students and the completion of communication with each other, the overall efficiency has improved a lot.

In particular, everything is difficult at the beginning. With the resolution of the language problem, the speed of Sinicization of the East Turkic labor force has also been significantly improved.

Originally, Ma Zhou thought that it would take half a year for these Turkic laborers to understand the meaning of Chinese, but in fact, after the arrival of these students, Ma Zhou felt that in two months, even if these Turkic laborers could not speak Sinicization, they would understand the general meaning .

"Although some of Yue Wang's operations are indeed incomprehensible, but with Yue Wang planning ahead, it is indeed much easier to do the work!"

Ma Zhou sighed, and at the same time Ma Zhou also reported the matter to Li Tai, and flattered him.

Li Tai didn't know that these exchange students had this effect, but Li Tai couldn't tell Ma Zhou that it was just a coincidence.

Of course he nodded, and confirmed to Ma Zhou, "Well! All this is within my expectation!"

In the beginning, Li Tai proposed to Youzhou to be an exchange student, but it was simply to let Li Chunfeng have a sustenance, which was regarded as a comfort to him.

Although he did not come, his students did, and the meaning is the same.

But I didn't expect that this would have additional benefits. Youzhou in the Tang Dynasty was a place where foreign and Han peoples met.

Not to mention that the students there can speak Turkic dialect one by one, but at least they can understand the general Turkic dialect.

Therefore, their arrival gave Li Tai the most needed supplement at the moment, and it could be regarded as the real implementation of Li Tai's plan.

Ma Zhou had such an expression as expected, waiting for Li Tai's next words.

But Li Tai was not polite, and said directly:

"In addition, build a self-study room, take some copies from the Gaoling Library and put them here, and give them to the exchange students to read.

I will provide free candles so that exchange students can read books here at night.

If there are aspirants among the foreign races, they can also be asked to consult books, but the foreign races need to know 500 characters. "

Hearing Li Tai's words, Ma Zhou cupped his fists and praised Li Tai, "The king of Yue is merciful."

Li Tai said: "In addition, these exchange students came here for exchange after all, and they are paid according to the standard of Gaoling corvee.

Tell them that the corvée will work until July this year, and return to the agricultural college for normal course teaching in August.

So you should hurry up and cultivate excellent backbones. In autumn, these students will not stay and work! "

"Please rest assured, King Yue, I know what to do!" Ma Zhou nodded, expressing his understanding.

To be honest, it was only in the early days, and there were some troubles in communication, but in the next half a year, these East Turkic corvees must have grown.

At that time, it was strange that no qualified East Turkic grassroots corvee management had been trained.

With the help of this group of students, the whole project of Zheng Baiqu started to get on the right track.

Of course, no matter how fast the efficiency is, the speed of progress is not fast because of the number of people, but Li Tai and Ma Zhou are not in a hurry.

Because both of them are very clear that they are still in the running-in process at this time, and when the running-in is in full swing, the efficiency will naturally increase.

Especially after May, the people near Gaoling finished harvesting the wheat, and it was considered the slack season.

At that time, let them do odd jobs during the slack season, moving bricks or something, I believe many people will still be willing to come.

And when the people in Gaoling are planting winter wheat, the migrant workers who plant corn in other areas can also be recruited to a certain extent, so if we really want to talk about the progress, we have to speed up later.

Now it is still necessary to let the Gaoling corvee and these East Turkic laborers stand up to train a group of qualified grassroots managers.

As time passed, Li Tai took the documents he had sorted out and headed for Chang'an.

After all, I have worked hard for a month, so I naturally have to report to Li Shimin. No matter what the era, there is no future in hard work. Only by letting the leader know the progress of my work in time can I show that I am working.

This is not as simple as showing what is important to you. It is more about letting the leader know the progress of this matter, so that the leader has a feeling of complete control over this matter.

At the same time, because the leader stands in a higher position, he thinks differently from the people working below, so it is convenient for the leader to make decisions and make adjustments when encountering any problems.

Otherwise, don't say anything, just work hard on your own, and feel as if you are selflessly contributing to the company.

In fact, the company is really not rare, because the company only needs you to do a good job in the project, and your bloody company is invisible.

Even if you really worked hard for a while without any feedback, you are afraid that the leader will come to find out in person, see what you are going to do, and even wonder if you are going to embezzle this project.

Therefore, before Li Tai went to the palace, he prepared a large stack of report materials. As for "Lanting Preface", he has barely copied it more than [-] times so far, and it is still far away from [-] chapters. I believe Li Shimin will not do it at this time. need.

And Li Tai came to Chang'an arrogantly, and when he entered the city, Changle's chariot stopped in front of Li Tai's ox cart!

"Brother Si~" Chang Le opened the carriage, looked at Li Tai angrily and said, "You are really busy!"

Li Tai didn't expect Changle to be in front of him, but he also smiled calmly, decisively took out a box of sesame maltose and handed it to Bai He, and sent it to Changle's chariot, and then said, "Would you like to go to see mother with my brother? Your affairs are also arranged."

Changle looked at the maltose that Baihe handed over, and he didn't refuse, and asked people to put the integrated maltose into the carriage, and said: "Go together, let's go together, if you lie to Changle, Changle will not let you go!"

"I got it, I got it!" Li Tai smiled calmly, and said, "Since brother, when did you lie to me about what I promised you!"

"Yeah!" Chang Le got into the car with satisfaction when he heard Li Tai's assurance.

Li Lizhi looked at the sesame malt candy Li Tai had prepared, picked up one and ate it.

The aroma of malt swelled in an instant, and Changle could not help but bend his eyebrows, it was sweet.

Although maltose is very common in the royal family, for some reason, the ones prepared by Li Tai for himself are always very delicious.
