Chapter 346: Touched or Remorseful?
"How can an old man of such an age send him to dig coal? Little sister, this is not nonsense! Li Ke was very puzzled when he saw the old fish head, arranged for someone to give the old man some light work, and then took advantage of the escort materials to go back to the construction site and find a small pocket.
"What??? Are you saying that old guy is a master, could it be that the enemy country deliberately sent a small work? After listening to Xiao Doudou's explanation, Li Ke exclaimed, attracting Yuwen Chengdu and Xue Li's master and apprentice.
Xiao Doudou's eyes lit up, "Yes, why didn't I expect it, third brother, you are still amazing, I guessed it at once." β
"Huh? YouβYou don't know if he's a fine worker? Then why did you send him to dig coal? Li Ke was stunned.
With his hands spread, Xiao Doudou said innocently: "I don't know, I just feel that this person is strong in martial arts, and his strength must be very great, isn't it a waste of talent not to dig coal like this?" β
Burst...... Can this also be accidentally hit?
"What if it's not a small work, but indeed a civilian who has suffered? Didn't we just wronged the good guys? You must know that there are also green forest masters hidden among the common people. Xue Li questioned.
Yuwen Chengdu proposed: "Let him dig coal for a few days first, if he works honestly, then there will be nothing to do, if he shirks being a demon, hehe, sooner or later, one day will show his feet." β
On the other side of the mine, the old fish head also understands what coal mining is at this moment, while waving a shovel, while spitting and muttering and scolding his mother, Lao Tzu is the first master, he is enshrined in the royal court in Goguryeo on weekdays, and now he is forced to pretend that he is a refugee, and he actually asked me to work hard for you? The little girl is really vicious, and she said that she would introduce me to a good job that makes money, but she is obviously deliberately cheating the old man! When I do it in the future, I must clean you up well, and I will not take revenge and swear not to be a person!
"Stop, old fishman, it's time to eat," beckoned the overseer of the coals...... beckoned.
"Hey, it's coming!" Unhurriedly following the crowd to the food delivery place, the fish dragon was stunned, "This, this is meat?" β
"That's right, it's meat, don't be surprised, one meal of meat at noon every day, this is the rule set by the little princess. Hehe, it's no wonder that the first day is like this, where can the poor people in Goguryeo eat meat every day? But this is Datang, which is richer than over there, and the little princess knows that it hurts people, saying that we work harder, so we guarantee that there is one every day.
Even the old ladies who wash and wash in the wool factory have a meal of meat every two days. The person who served the meal enthusiastically introduced.
The fish dragon was stunned and asked in disbelief: "Datang is rich enough to eat meat every day?" β
A middle-aged worker next to him explained with a smile: "It's an exaggeration to eat meat every day. We are a construction site, Her Royal Highness the princess spent money to buy it, and for this meat, many of us rushed to work from Youzhou City.
In the past, it was good for ordinary people in Datang to have two meals a day, and they couldn't eat meat a few times a year, after all, who didn't lack food? But it will get better and better in the future, His Royal Highness the King of Qin gave high-yield and good seeds, it is said that the yield per mu is several thousand catties, and he is no longer afraid of hunger.
With surplus food, you can raise some livestock, according to the little princess, within ten years, so that the people of Datang can have a meal of meat to eat every day, and then it will be the beginning of a good life. β
"Yes, yes, old fish head, I heard that you were abducted and trafficked by the government, and you can't go back home. But don't be depressed, you are a blessing in disguise, if you are still living in Goguryeo, not to mention being oppressed by the government, I am afraid that you may not be able to eat a few mouthfuls of meat until you die, you are blessed to come here. Someone next to him chimed in.
Ay...... Hearing this, the fish turned into a dragon and sighed, and everyone else thought that the old man was homesick. Only Yuhualong himself knows that he feels that the Tang Dynasty is favored by heaven and will become more and more prosperous, but it is more and more unfavorable to Goguryeo, and he is worried about the future of Goguryeo.
"Steward, the old fish head is old, and he has come from afar, give him a few more pieces and pull them out of my bowl." Said a well-meaning man.
The steward smiled: "What did my brother say?" Datang's respect for the elderly is a courtesy, and it should be. You don't need to have less meat, Her Royal Highness the little princess asked, you should eat well if you exert your strength, and I can't afford to eat the meat of your rice bowl. β
"Everyone hurry up and eat, rest a little after eating and continue to work, no one is allowed to cheat and play tricks, otherwise I really can't live with Her Royal Highness the little princess."
Yuhualong was holding a hot bowl of cabbage stew, but he couldn't pick up the taste in his mouth, after all, his heart was sad, and no matter how delicious it was, it was not his own home.
Well? This is...... Is this salt? And there is no bitterness at all? This isγThis is the finest fine salt? The broth was in its mouth, and the fish dragon exclaimed.
Everyone next to him laughed: "Old fish head, don't make a fuss, since His Royal Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty came down, the people's lives have gradually improved." It is said that His Royal Highness the King of Qin has improved the salt-making technique, and since then there is no shortage of salt in the Tang Dynasty, and ordinary people can afford to eat this kind of good salt, and they no longer need to live with the vinegar cloth of Nalaoshzi. β
This, this is okay too?
Yuhualong was eating stewed meat, and the teardrops and tarts fell into the bowl, and those who didn't know thought that the old man was crying with joy and being moved, but in fact, he felt powerless and sad.
In the evening, Li Ke returned to the coal mine camp and asked about today's mining situation and the situation of the workers, and the steward answered truthfully.
"The new old man, how is the old fish head doing?" Li Ke asked with special care.
"Don't tell you to the third prince, I originally thought that an old man of such an age would not be able to do this hard work, but when I did it, I found that they were all born in hard work, and they were really good at work. The brothers were very sympathetic to the old man, and they ate a meal of meat at noon, and the old man wept while eating, which shows how sad he was in Goguryeo.
Hey, because it is not easy to understand the old man, his subordinates are in charge of their own affairs, and they did not set him a minimum mining catty, but no one expected that the old man was a solid eye, and he worked very hard, and he did it alone, faster than the two middle-aged men. "The steward even spoke with comparisons.
Li Ke smiled and didn't say anything, he didn't poke it, he just nodded and said: "Such an old man should be cared for, pay attention not to tire people out." As for how much he has done, just the right amount, the construction site should be treated equally, more work should be rewarded, more work should be paid more, but you are not allowed to deduct or abuse because of outsiders. β
"The third prince can rest assured, he will not dare to borrow the courage of his subordinates, and he will do his best."
For five days in a row, the fish turned into a dragon and there was no movement at all, such a situation was really unexpected, Xiao Doudou and others thought that this could prove that the old fish head was abducted and trafficked, not a fine work.
On the night of the sixth day, a dark shadow quietly left the mine and returned to the construction site.
