Chapter 2816 1 What I Saw Near the Emperor
Bringing the System to the Tang Dynasty Text Volume Chapter 2816: Seeing and Hearing Along the Way Before the Emperor It was half past two in the afternoon, and the king's team entered the other side.
There was no one at his boundary position. Datang had negotiated with him and no more violations were made.
But there are people on this side of the border. In normal life, there is a line made of stones. No one can cross it, and no one can be seen on the other side. It is very desolate.
King Tolic's team walked through this desolate road in no man's land, or should we say a ridiculous road!
Once across the border, people were pushing carts to transport things. Some people were shouting slogans and dropping stones into the dug trenches to make stone channels.
This is a nullah. If there is a nullah in front of your house, just put up a stone slab to go over it.
There are no culverts here, and they are difficult to clean. There are many mosquitoes and flies, but open culverts are easy to clean. The stones can be cleaned with a long brush.
The latrine is not connected, the latrine is somewhere else, and the manure is left there.
Don’t be afraid of floods either. You can’t encounter floods every day, maybe only once every few years.
A pyramid was about to be demolished. The people brought stones from elsewhere and it was too far. The pyramid next to it was of no use. It was too high. It was demolished, leaving part of the platform for drying millet.
The 35-meter-high pyramid was demolished to 15 meters, leaving only 20 meters. The inside was repaired, and the removed stones were used for other purposes.
The 20 meters below have been repaired. It is a large warehouse. If people need to live in it, just clean it.
Seeing King Tolic's team, the people glanced at it and turned back to work, knowing that you were my king before, but what did you give us?
We built the pyramid all day long and never finished it. Now we eat well, sleep soundly, and are not afraid of floods.
"Why is this?" King Tolic was puzzled. When the pyramids were built before, the people were like zombies.
Now they are also carrying stones. These people are shouting slogans, and each of them feels that they have endless strength.
"You said that when I go back, can you give my wife some more delicious food?"
The little noble pushed the little robot and saw the team stopped. The king was surprised and asked the little robot.
"You should study hard when you go back. Someone will teach you. In the future, you will lead people's lives. Don't waste the opportunity."
The little robot replied that it had sorted out the affairs of the little noble and reported it to the superior.
The little nobles don't have much ambition, but they have many ideas.
Like a landowner, he hired laborers to work for him and then bought slaves.
Long-term workers have to give extra things, slaves don't give extra things, but they pay more for buying them at once.
He didn't have his own pyramid, but he had many slaves, but when the war started, they were all gone.
He invented the method of tying a rope to fish, throwing the spear into the water with a rope behind it.
Before the war, life was good for his family.
Such people can be cultivated and have no big ambitions.
"Oh! Oh!" The little noble seemed to understand a little bit.
The king's team continued to move forward, and the road was more comfortable than that section, at least cleaner.
Someone sweeps the road with a big bamboo broom, mainly to sweep the little accumulated water from the low-lying areas to the flat ground, where it evaporates after being exposed to the sun.
There are no peels, scraps of paper, plastic bags, cigarette butts, or drink bottles.
There was a lot of stone powder, which fell from the cart.
King Tuoli begged to look at the workers and found that they had thick bamboo tubes tied with ropes.
After someone finished a job, he went to the shed to drink water. He took off the water bottle, opened the lid, and placed a pair of chopsticks in it like a tea can.
He took out his chopsticks, filled the soup with a bamboo tube, and drank slowly while squatting in a cool place.
There was another person walking along a path, and Toliqi asked Yulin Feiqi: "What does that person do?"
“Corn leaves and corn cobs are good for toilet use.”
Lao Guang replied that there was no special raw edge paper locally, so he had to use other things instead, which were better than bamboo toilet chips.
"Oh!" Toliki understood. It turned out that others had a fixed place to go to the toilet.
The people who came with Tolic had only heard what the little noble had said before, but had never seen it with their own eyes. Now they wanted to see more, and the speed of the team slowed down.
After traveling for more than ten miles, it was almost dusk, and the workers were calling it a day and looking for a place to line up to wash their meals.
Put the soup in a bamboo tube, put salted fish segments in the lid, take the steamed bun in your hand, find a place to put the things, squat there and start eating.
King Tolic and others also stopped to eat and observed while eating.
He discovered the problem and said to Yulin Feiqi: "They probably eat slowly. When it gets dark after eating, they won't be able to do anything."
What he meant was that the prisoners were lazy, and everyone expected to do things at dawn, but nothing could be done when it was dark.
There is no such thing as a rooster crowing in the middle of the night. That is called artistic processing. Otherwise, what kind of work would you be doing if you were just blindly trying to wake people up? Light an oil lamp?
It was impossible to light the oil lamp, but...
"They took a break while eating, and after a while they lit torches and went to the ground. The water slowly receded, and the land was exposed again.
Torches are not valuable, but every extra acre plowed is worth an acre, and it is easier to sow during the day.
Others eat quickly and get up at dawn tomorrow to take over the work of others..."
Feiqi Yulin said slowly, the incentive policies are different.
The imperial court promised to capture the people and collect a lot of food. Everyone still had three meals a day, including salted fish. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net
Those who work more will be given extra prizes, which will be their own, and the remaining food will be used for emergencies so that they will not go hungry when another disaster strikes.
After listening, Toliqi ate silently. He felt that being a king was meaningless. Everything was given to others, and the king was only responsible for giving orders.
He did not understand the operation mode of the Tang Dynasty. Now the people needed to work together.
Later, the people would be allowed to do their own things, privatization, land would not be privatized, and only personal property would belong to the people.
When the people had more things of their own, they wanted other things, and they would exchange them. The medium of exchange was currency.
The goods were controlled by the Tang Dynasty, such as soap and matches. The people would not be taxed when they sold some things, but the tax would be added when they bought things.
Shops would appear, factories would appear...
...
Twelve days passed in a flash, and the dry season was indeed the dry season, without a drop of rain.
King Toliqi's team finally arrived at the destination. At this time, in the morning, they could reach the pyramid where Li Longji was at noon.
The second prince set out in the morning to greet him, and the relationship between the two sides was equal.
Even if he was received, Toliqi could not see Li Longji immediately. He needed to wait for the summons, and he had to bathe and change clothes in advance and learn etiquette.
The Yulin Flying Cavalry talked to Toliqi about this, and also talked about etiquette.
King Toliqi did not show any displeasure, as the difference in strength between the two sides was too great.
Especially along the way, the closer he got to the destination, the more shocked he was by what he saw.
He was only worried that the other side would capture him and then kill him, but now it seemed that it would not happen, so he could have captured him earlier instead of waiting until they met at the destination.
The second prince's welcoming team met King Toliqi's team at ten o'clock in the morning, and the two sides talked as if there had never been any conflict.
The team joined together and arrived at the pyramid diagonally opposite the pyramid where Li Longji stayed at noon.
