Blue and White Society - Chapter 253
[Chapter 243 Settling Down]
Seeing them eating so happily, Mo Poor asked them to cook dozens of kilograms of rice.
There is no oil and water, and the rice is served with pickles. They actually tasted like high-end cuisine.
Their past days, presumably, were in dire straits, and Mo Poor just gave him a meal, and they all showed satisfied expressions.
As far as Mo Poor knows, the staple food of farmers in Japan and ancient times was wheat and radishes. Although rice has to be paid as a tribute, it is not completely uneaten. Those who have not eaten are children or young people. Basically, they will at least taste it in their entire lives. A few times, especially during the Azuchi-Momoyama period, there would be rice for military service.
But this group of people actually said that they had never even seen cooked rice.
After asking, Mo Poor found out that most of the time their staple food was taro and beans, and if they mixed all kinds of beans together and cooked, it would be a meal, and they didn’t even eat buckwheat.
As for rice, it is neither affordable nor allowed.
It was at least a thousand years ago that productivity was so low.
At that time, although Rihe had learned technology and systems from the Sui and Tang Dynasties, most of the areas were ghost lands, and only a few core areas such as Heianjing had achieved considerable development.
So there are still many such miserable farmers in other remote areas.
“Delicious!”
“It’s so delicious!”
After the second bowl of rice was served with sauerkraut, their taste buds seemed to be opened to a new world.
The softness and aroma of the rice, coupled with the slight springiness, gave them a feeling of no regrets in this life.
With sauerkraut, it seems that a chemical reaction has occurred, and the complex taste makes their brains crazily secrete happiness hormones.
Although sauerkraut is just sauerkraut, the craftsmanship is much higher than that of ancient times.
Modern people like to eat once in a while, not to mention that this is something that Lord Gou himself often eats. The impact on the taste buds of those who have never eaten good food is irresistible.
“Woooooooooo…” “We
can eat such good food.”
“Could it be that we are already dead?”
“It’s worth killing me now.” The
group of Tuqi people cried and started talking nonsense language.
Mo Poor could see that they were very insecure, after all, everything was like a dream.
So he said: “No one will kill you. From now on, you will work for me, and you can eat rice every meal, and…”
“What!”
“Eat this in the future?”
“How is it possible? Is this rice They
are all for us to eat?”
The people in Tuqi are going crazy, what is the concept of eating rice every now and then?
It was already the most beautiful day they could have imagined.
The excitement of this group of people forced Mo Poor to swallow the second half of his words.
At first, I wanted to add another order, but seeing how easy they are to satisfy, let’s forget it and talk about it later.
Although this group of people has no potential and can do some physical work on the island at most, it is still beneficial, that is, it is really easy to feed.
If modern employees
only give food every day, they would have rebelled long ago.
And these people are extremely happy when they have food, and such a high level of happiness can’t be called abuse.
The rice given by Lord Gou is enough to last for half a year, and the rice is not expensive. In the future, this thing can be eaten openly, and it is absolutely impossible for him to eat poorly.
What’s more, with so much open space on the island, they can buy some rice seedlings, wheat seeds, and even various vegetables for them to grow by themselves, and self-sufficiency is no problem.
Thinking about it carefully, Mo Poor almost picked up 300 people for nothing.
He ordered a hundred adaptive seeds online, and then waved for the two scholars to come over.
The two scholars had eaten their fill normally, and they felt relieved a lot, and they were no longer so worried.
The Tuqi people feel that giving them food is to kill them, and they must do extremely dangerous work, otherwise how could they be so kind to them?
The two scholars were smarter. Seeing this act of reassuring the people like opening a warehouse to release food, they knew that Mo Poor would not kill them, but just let them live and work in peace on this island.
It can be seen that the concepts and cognitions of the “people” in the two countries are completely opposite.
“Shangxian, what are your orders?” The two scholars made an interrogation.
Mo Qiong smiled and said, “Huh? I’m going to become a fairy now?” The
two scholars were embarrassed, but they still bite the bullet and said: “The great fairy opened up a world and used many magic weapons. Naturally, he is a fairy among the gods.”
“Okay, they It’s fine to lick, you two who have studied, just call me the boss.” Mo Poor said.
“It’s… the boss.” The two scholars saluted again.
“Which dynasty and generation are you from?” Mo Poor asked.
“Our brothers are all from Yaoshan, Xingzhou. The current dynasty name is Zhou, and the reign name is Xiande.” The older scholar said.
This talk is very comfortable and clear. Mo Poor nodded and said, “Zhou? Is she the empress?” The
two scholars looked at each other and said, “You should be talking about Wu Zhou, right? Boss, you may not be very clear in the sky… …The Tang Dynasty has been dead for fifty years.”
Mo Poor thought suddenly, what?
Datang dead?
“Oh, Hou Zhou, that’s right…Xiande, is that Chai Rong?” The
two scholars hesitated, and finally the younger one said: “The current country’s surname is Guo…the sage is the righteous son of Taizu… But he treated his biological father with the courtesy of uncle Yuan, and never made his own brothers kings, nor made the members of the Chai clan royal family…”
Before he could finish speaking, the senior scholar gave his younger brother a glare, and said, “Boss Your eyes are like torches, and the truth is His Majesty’s surname, tracing back to the origin, returning to the basics, how can you correct it?”
“… Brother taught me a lesson.” The younger brother trembled and dared not speak.
Mo Poor touched his Adam’s apple, feeling a little embarrassed.
Although members of the commune must be familiar with history, it is not necessary to study history. Chai Rong is indeed the name of later historians. He was indeed Guo Rong at the time. No one dared to say that the Chai family is the royal family. Isn’t it courting death to say that the Chai family has the right to inherit?
Only Guo Rong’s own son is.
Thinking about it carefully, calling his ancestral surname was just to weaken the legitimacy of his rule in order to strengthen the legitimacy of the Zhao Song Dynasty in disguise.
That is: Chai can replace Guo, and Zhao can also replace Chai.
As a modern man, he has a different way of thinking. Even if he is familiar with history, he can’t compare with these two real ancients. He committed a “big taboo of the dynasty” with only a few words.
“The Zhou you are talking about has been dead for more than a thousand years.” Mo Poor said while drinking water to hide his embarrassment.
“Yes…someone has told us before that the name of the country today is Lanbai.” The older scholar said.
“Pfft!” Mo Poor spit out a mouthful of water, and hurriedly said: “No! No! Don’t talk nonsense!”
Just as Mo Poor called Guo Rong Chai Rong from a modern perspective, these two ancients also stood by them. From his perspective, he understood the Lanbai Society as a dynasty.
Thinking about it, the Lanbai Society doesn’t allow them to wander around, they can only live in the territory of the Lanbai Society, let them work, and provide them with living security, isn’t it just to Anmin?
And the ‘national power’ is so strong and the land is vast, even if it is not the ‘Xian Dynasty’, it must be the Shang Kingdom.
Seeing that Mo Qiong reacted so strongly, his face turned pale, and they hurriedly said: “I don’t know what taboo I have committed when I first arrived here, so please forgive me…forgive me for my ignorance.”
Mo Qiong sighed: “It’s okay, it’s okay. There are not so many taboos. In short, the Lanbaishe is not the dynasty you know, and you can’t go back to the Central Plains. From now on, you can live here, and your basic necessities are guaranteed. See if you have nothing to do If you have the strength, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com will not count on you for farming. Take care of these Tuqi people for me, and lead them to reclaim a piece of wasteland and circle a manor, except for the few seeds I asked you to plant. , I will also provide you with traditional crops so that you can be self-sufficient…”
“Of course, I also have an additional requirement for you, that is to learn, first give me a thorough understanding of modern Chinese characters, and then I will hand over the instructions of these machines to you for study. I don’t ask you to know why, first let me know why , know how to use it, and know how to read the thermometer is enough.” The
two scholars were overjoyed, isn’t this what it means to be an official?
It might not be very formal, but it’s enough.
They thought they would work together with those savages, and they thought to themselves that if they had read books for nothing in this life, they would be able to be petty officials.
The real work is also reading and studying, which is really great.
It seems that this Lanbai Dynasty is still very kind to scholars.
Seeing them bowing their heads and secretly delighted, Mo Poor shook his head secretly.
It can only be said that the taller out of the shorter ones, these two scholars are not very useful, but it should be possible to manage this one-third of an acre of land.
“I’ll give you another three hours. If you’re done here, go to the headquarters to find me. You still have pet companions that you haven’t got.” Lord Gou smoked a cigarette for a long time, and said suddenly.
Mo Poor was taken aback and said, “What? And pets?”
