Chapter 340: Yang Guozhong's meritorious service
"What's your name! Eat slowly, no one will rob you, by the way, they have been delivering this kind of food to you every day before, or only today! The girl asked for a long time, the young man kept his head down and didn't answer, still eating by himself, he thought it was a language barrier or he didn't ask very clearly, so he patiently asked slowly.
"I can speak Tang dialect, my name is Kameda Ichiro, I used to work in the Oda family of the shogunate, this Tang official is right, I have never eaten enough since I was a child, I have never eaten enough every day, there is a wheat bran dumpling every day, and a few bowls of Qingshu, since we came here by boat last month, we have eaten enough every day, they think they are afraid that we will run away and give us a chain......"
"Do you want to run? Isn't it hard to work here! "It's hard, I have to carry a lot of stones every day, and I have to pull wood, but I don't want to run at all, when we came, the Yang official gave my mother a lot of copper coins, so that the younger brothers and sisters in the family have food, they are too young to come to Datang to work, I have written to tell them to come to Datang to work when they grow up, and there is broth to drink!" Honor, look at this bamboo tube, I just caught a piece of meat and bones? Fools will run, it's just that it's too bad to do things with chains, you talk to them, remove the chains, we won't run......"
The woman was shocked and uncomfortable when she heard this, he thought that what Zhang Xiaojing said was false, but at this moment she witnessed the words from the bottom of her heart that this young man's eyes flashed, and the whole person was instantly confused, she really never dreamed that there would be people competing to do this completely almost slave labor in this world, and she also wanted to call her family with gratitude.
After she calmed down a little, she was still a little reluctant to ask a dozen laborers with a few companions one after another, but what they said was exactly the same as what the guy said before, and several even knelt down on the spot to express their gratitude, saying that Datang is really the Heavenly Kingdom, and they are willing to serve for life.
And after these so-called journalists finished interviewing on the spot, Zhang Xiaojing, Ge Laoliu and others slowly came over. "How? A few people who asked are still clear, these people are not arranged in advance by Ben Shuai, if you are still worried about what is hidden, you can go to the first few construction sites to see, if you fake, you will not fake the scene of tens of thousands of people! ”
"General Zhang's words are serious, we still trust the recent field trip, after all, we are all on an errand for the saint, this fraud is probably not done by the army, but these Japanese laborers are still full of joy and voluntary labor, why do you still give them leg shackles? Isn't this contrary to my Tang Dynasty's bearing? ”
"This ...... You don't know, they are new to the city, and there are a lot of people, as the saying goes, a hundred people have a hundred hearts, if there are so many people with intentions among them to make trouble, you think about this construction site is guarded by hundreds of sergeants, how can you ensure safety! It's just a matter of putting light shackles on them, and when the hearts of the people are completely attached to them in the future, they will be taken off! ”
After Zhang Xiaojing finished speaking, he immediately gave Jiu Jiulang and Ge Lao Liu a look, and the two sons and daughters who were mixed up in Chang'an City naturally understood what Zhang Xiaojing meant in an instant, and immediately showed enthusiasm like fire, pulling and praising the four or five newspaper staff who said that they were dizzy, and after a while, they were directly pulled to the most upscale restaurant in Wuhan City with a carriage.
And after Zhang Xiaojing saw that this hot potato had been solved, he turned around and discussed the distribution of materials with Lu Zhongtian, because he knew that the reason why Li Mao spared no effort to support him was that he wanted him to develop rapidly in the Hunan-Hunan region, especially for the clamping of Li Heng and others in Jiangnan.
"Master Lu, will you bother with these trivial matters on the surface in the future?" "The official knows the severity, when the canal is repaired and the farm tools are built, the official will arrange for the people from all over the country to catch up with the spring ploughing as soon as possible, General Zhang, you just need to make the fields and defense work that the army is responsible for be profitable, let's take care of each other, what else can we not do with money and food now!" You have to be careful with these laborers, so many people can make a big mess if they are not careful......"
"You always relax, in addition to the response to the personnel arrangement, we will send more military forces to take care of several large construction sites and factories in the future, now the textile factories of female workers, as well as sweater factories are also under construction, and there will be a steady stream of people coming later! If you want to say that this sage is really knowledgeable, how can he Yang Guozhong go to Japan so smoothly persuade the local people to rush to come to my Tang Dynasty to work? ”
"You ask this official, who is this official going to ask, or you personally cross the sea to ask him personally, this Hongnong Yang family is very good now, I heard that more than 5,000 of their merchants passed last month? Eh...... I don't know what this saint will arrange in the future......" The two of them said and then laughed one after another.
However, Yang Guozhong, who was far away in Japan, was not as relaxed and happy as the two of them imagined, because of his identity as a meritorious service, as soon as he arrived in Kyoto, Japan, he immediately took up the post of three new officials and Xiao Tiancheng, who was in charge of military affairs, and the reason for this is also simple, that is, Xiao Tiancheng did not approve of his thunderous methods against the Japanese nobles at all, and hoped to continue to use Huairou's methods to break them one by one.
"My Xiao Dashuai! You said take your time, doesn't Yang know yet? But you wait, I can't afford to wait, do you know that the plate print of our ass is still vivid at this moment? The saint sent the official this time to be in charge of the economy of the Japanese provincial government, and as long as there are those Japanese nobles in this matter for a day, then it will not be carried out smoothly, the ghost knows what they will do in secret, the money spent on appeasing the recruitment last month was all taken out by my Yang family themselves in advance, even if you don't think about it, you have to think about it for the saint, at present, projects are blooming everywhere in the Tang Dynasty, this is a major event of daily consumption and gold! I don't want to kill chickens and take eggs, but if I don't do this, where will the money come from, you have to think of a way! Do you want to increase taxes on the people of Datang? ”
Yang Guozhong said these things with his hands and dances, even if he was a little angry and slapped continuously on Xiao Tiancheng's handsome desk, and seeing that the two were arguing, he could only get up from his seat and pull Yang Guozong to his seat to persuade him.
"Okay, Brother Xiao is his own person, Uncle Guo, can you also talk to him and discuss with him? This is directly killing people and robbing money, it is indeed a bit too ugly, Brother Xiao is now in charge of the Japanese provincial government, and he also has his own difficulties, so he can't just settle down and be messed up by you and me! Don't be impatient, the big guy brainstorms and thinks again? ”
"What do you think? What is there to think, he Yang Guozhong is obviously distressed about the money he spent, and he just wants to make up for it as soon as possible, if he acts like this, he will have to provoke more than four million Japanese Taoist people to rebel! Are those aristocrats so hands-on? Not to mention other places, there are hundreds of large and small families in Kyoto alone, everyone has thousands of private soldiers in hand, and those people also completely listen to their call, you Yang Guozhong thinks that after sending a few copper coins, they are willing to go to Datang, and it is not that the local gate lords and magnates are behind the support, Ben Shuai just drank them on the front foot to reach an agreement, and you came to kill on the back foot? ”
Xiao Tiancheng also became more and more excited the more he talked, and in the end, he even threw the unfinished half of the cigarette in his hand directly in front of Yang Guozhong, so the two of them were about to rekindle the war again, but fortunately, at this time, Tie Shou ran into the hall from outside in a panic and shouted directly. "What are you doing? When is it still arguing, the Japanese ronin entrenched in the Ryukyus has entangled tens of thousands of people to attack again, saying that we tricked their emperor into going to Chang'an and killing him...... It's okay if such a thief attacks the coast several times like this, but today he dares to take the initiative to send it to the door! ”
Tie Shou said and hurriedly picked up the teapot on the table, and drank it directly, and Xiao Tiancheng heard what he said again, and then he didn't bother with Yang Guozhong anymore, picked up the cross-knife and rushed out in a hurry, and while running, he asked the guards about their situation.
"Back to the marshal, the generals have already led the marines to intercept those pirates, but the speed of our warships is not as flexible as their small boats, and they have made them escape in a roundabout way several times, these pirates are also very cunning, and they are also familiar with the terrain of this generation of seas, which is very tricky!" "In March, Ben Shuai didn't believe that they could still float on the sea without landing, and ordered Hai Lao Ba to search all the nearby islands for hundreds of miles, and then stationed the army, I want to see how long these clowns can hide......
Seeing Xiao Tiancheng scolding and walking out of the door, Yang Guozhong continued to complain to the few people who were chasing his life, "Look at it, look at it, it's different if my mother is the commander of the first army, is this still the humble shopkeeper who followed the saint at the beginning?" He didn't agree, he thought he was the oldest! It's the same as Xiao Tiancheng's final say...... The sage has already made it clear that the people of the Japanese Tao are different from the people of the Tang Dynasty, why doesn't he understand the emperor's heart? If the saint had the Japanese way in his heart, would the people of Li send me? How many of you are too? Didn't the saint ask you to come with you just to help? ”
