"A whole factory of people?"

"They all became workers?"

Lu Dongzan's eyes lit up.

But at the same time, he told himself in his heart that Li Kuan, a bad boy, must be playing tricks on him.

There is no way, he just did a wave with Li Kuan, if Li Kuan can generously send him a batch of craftsmen, he will not believe it.

After all, if you put him in Li Kuan's position, he will not do anything to fund his enemies.

So, he had to think about how to eat the icing and spit the cannonball back.

Li Kuan smiled and took Lu Dongzan to the factory to give him.

This is a rice paper mill located in Songzhou.

"Although it is a rice paper, as long as these Tubo people learn the craft, they can be regarded as half craftsmen, then I will admit it."

Lu Dongzan said that his requirements are not high.

He doesn't require these Tibetans to become mature craftsmen, as long as they know some skills.

There is no way, they are too poor in Tibet, otherwise they would not have been eyeing the princess's dowry.

You know, the princess's dowry is indeed a lot for an individual, but for a whole country, it is a bit insignificant.

There are only one hundred and eighty craftsmen that a princess can bring, but Tubo even wants this, and you can know how poor Tubo is.

When the two of them came, they were just in time for dinner, and today's lunch was stew, so Li Kuan took Lu Dongzan directly to the canteen.

One bowl of meat per person.

There are eight pieces of meat in this bowl of meat, and the rest is soup.

Lu Dongzan looked at the meat of an unknown animal in the bowl, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Looking at those Tubo people who turn a blind eye and eat by themselves, he always feels that something is wrong, but he can't say it.

"Our Datang is a civilized country, although these Tibetan prisoners have attacked us, but we still will not treat them harshly, we will give them three meals to be full, and we will eat meat once a week."

Lu Dongzan's pupils weakened violently when he heard Li Kuan's words.

He finally knew what the problem was.

The people of Tibet have almost two meals a day, and they are not full of porridge.

Not to mention one meal of meat a week, there are those who can't eat one meal of meat in half a lifetime.

But looking at the ordinary look on the faces of those Tubo people now, Lu Dongzan has no doubt that the Tubo captives who have lived in the Tang Dynasty for several months have become accustomed to this kind of life.

Sure enough, it was a sugar-coated cannonball.

Lu Dongzan took a deep breath and thought uncomfortably.

Li Kuan warmly greeted Lu Dongzan to eat meat and vegetables.

But when he chewed a mouthful of fragrant meat in his mouth, he only felt the same as eating curtain, which was uncomfortable.

There are about 1,000 Tibetans in this factory.

Lu Dongzan had already begun to think about how to settle them when he went back.

If they are used to the life of Datang and return to Tubo, if they are not given a good life, then they will definitely be irritable, and even do something to bring their families to Datang.

What's more, he may do something like a gang to run to Datang.

This situation, Lu Dongzan has no doubt that it will happen.

In the afternoon, Li Kuan took Lu Dongzan to distribute clothes to these workers.

"Two new clothes in one season, this is also the basic welfare system of our Datang."

"No way, we are so merciful, we are so untreatable."

Li Kuan smiled and introduced Lu Dongzan.

Lu Dongzan felt cold all over.

In Lu Dongzan's memory, most of the people in Tubo still live in an era when a family of three with two clothes, two people working, and one person can only lie on the bed.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Dongzan said embarrassedly: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, otherwise, I won't accept them for the time being, is it okay?" ”

Li Kuan pulled Lu Dongzan and whispered, "I'm sorry, I've already told them that you came to pick them up." ”

"Although the life of Datang is very good, they are slaves here after all, and there is a gap in their identity, and their hearts are still a little guilty."

"And after coming for so long, they also feel homesick."

"So merciful, I told them in advance about letting them go back."

Lu Dongzan opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.

He already knew Li Kuan's thoughts, this was a naked conspiracy.

If he, Lu Dongzan, did not accept these Tubo, then Li Kuan would propagate that he Lu Dongzan did not want them, propagated the theory of Tubo ruthlessness, and made Tubo's faith in these Tubo captives collapse.

If he Lu Dongzan accepts it, then after these Tubo people go back, if they are not good enough, they will do rebellious things at any time.

Either way, it's not a good situation for Lu Dongzan.

"Then give me a few days, and I'll contact our king."

Lu Dong sighed and said helplessly.

This matter, now for him, is beyond his authority.

"Then I'm going to take the money, because I'm going to let them go today."

Li Kuan said with a grin.

Lu Dongzan stared at Li Kuan with wide eyes, he wanted to say that you are so shameless.

"Why? Leave them for a few days, won't they still work? ”

Lu Dongzan asked with a strong pressure of anger.

"But I'm not bad."

"If you don't give money, you can coax them away and let them pack up and go back to Tibet by themselves."

Li Kuan said indifferently.

Faced with this naked and shameless behavior, Lu Dongzan gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll give it." ”

Taking a deep breath, Lu Dongzan understood that Li Kuan was a naked bully, and he didn't want to face at all.

In the next few days, Li Kuan stayed here to accompany Lu Dongzan, and took Lu Dongzan to various workshops every day to watch the contributions of these Tibetan prisoners.

In particular, several of the Tibetan captives who became carpenters are highlighted.

As Lu Dongzan observed, he also kept improving their value in his heart, and then wrote to Songtsen Gampo and asked Songtsen Gampo to make a decision.

There are some decisions that can only be made by the king.

Songtsen Gampo's reply came back soon and was received in full.

Let's take it back first.

A fine light flashed in Li Kuan's eyes, this Songtsan Gampo is going to gamble.

"He is worthy of being the king of Tubo who unified the plateau, and he is powerful."

Li Kuan praised Songzan Gampo in his heart.

But then he scolded in his heart: "It's just that my eyes are not very good, I can't see the situation clearly, and I don't hurry up and bow down." ”

Lu Dongzan transferred a sum of money from the money village to Li Kuan and paid the food money for the past few days.

Then Li Kuanmu sent the Tibetan captives to leave happily.

After they all disappeared on the way back to the plateau, Li Kuan found the person in charge.

"Can you leave a connection with the Tubo people inside?"

"Stayed."

"Okay, you should know what to do next."

"Yes, as long as they come back with their families, I will arrange jobs for them, if they come back with their neighbors, leave them for promotion, if they still instigate the Tubo people above to riot, then we will give them the credit."

Li Kuan nodded with satisfaction, and continued: "If these Tubo people don't contact you for a month, you tell me, and I will let another group of people go back to increase their welfare costs." ”

Li Kuan said that he had 30,000 or 40,000 Tibetan prisoners in his hands, so he was not in a hurry at all.

is still the same sentence, if Songtsen Gampo and Lu Dongzan want to suppress them who have enjoyed a good life, they have to give high benefits.

And in the case of poverty in Tibet, this benefit can crush Songtsen Gampo to death.

If a thousand people can't be crushed to death, then Li Kuan will give them 10,000.

Another point is that Songtsen Gampo gave these people high benefits, which will inevitably affect the thinking of the Tibetan people.

As the saying goes, if you don't suffer from a few but suffer from unevenness, this is also a hidden danger, a hidden danger that can blow up Tibet.
