Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2145 Thousands of people come

News of the recruitment of workers quickly spread throughout Xiliang.

The people in Xiliang were a little shocked when they heard that they had discovered a coal mine in Xiliang, and that the king of Xiliang recruited workers to open the mine. Did they have a coal mine in Xiliang? Why did they not know about it after living in this place for so long? After Wang Qintian came, he immediately found the coal mine?

Of course, what shocked them even more was the condition given by the King of Xiliang.

As long as they dig coal mines, not only can they get wages, but Xiliang will supply all the coal they burn this winter.

Thinking that with coal, they would be able to survive this severe winter, the hearts of these common people couldn't help but rise a little, as if they were full of blood from top to bottom.

They can live well, the King of Xiliang is simply giving them a way out.

After having this idea, there was an endless stream of people who came to sign up to dig coal mines. Almost as long as their lives were not particularly rich, they were willing to let their family's labor to dig mines.

If you open a mine, you can survive. If you can live, what is it even if you suffer a little bit?
The people in Xiliang signed up one after another, and soon, they were sent to the mining area in batches.

There were a lot of people coming, but the coal mine that Luo Huang and the others found seemed to be a bit big, so even if there were a lot of people, it felt like a drop in the bucket to dig this coal mine.

According to their preliminary estimates, they can mine in Xiliang for 100 years with just one coal mine.

And once such a coal mine is mined, it will have a profound impact on Xiliang. They may become very rich in the future, especially rich.

People here mine coal, and after the coal is mined, it is quickly transported to various places in Xiliang, so that the people of Xiliang can keep warm and survive this difficult and cold winter.

And those absenteeists saw that the coal they mined was first supplied to their families, which made them very excited and motivated.

And when these absenteeism were digging coal mines in full swing, 1 people from Che Shiguo were sent to Liangzhou City.

These 1 people were the conditions agreed by Che Shiguo to help Cheshiguo repel the Turks before.

Ma Zhou, as the person in charge, received the envoys of the Cheshi Kingdom, and took in the [-] people of the Cheshi Kingdom, but after they were accepted, the [-] people were considered Xiliang people.

These [-] people are from Cheshi country, and their appearance is slightly different from those of Tang people, but Qin Tian and Ma Zhou don't care about this.

Xiliang, what they need is to have the tolerance of all rivers, no matter who they are, they can accept it.

Of course, the reason for this situation is that Datang was relatively open when they came to Tang Dynasty. No matter who they are, they can be accepted in Datang, and even many Huren can still be officials in Datang. This situation was most obvious in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty. For example, An Lushan was a Hu, and Li Guangbi was a Khitan.

What's more, Qin Tian comes from a country with 56 ethnic groups, and he loves any ethnic group. In this case, he doesn't think there is anything wrong with people from Che Shi country becoming Xiliang people.

Because in future generations, these people are still Chinese people.

However, when Ma Zhou saw the 1 people sent by Che Shiguo, his face became a little ugly, and it could even be said to be particularly ugly.

He looked at the envoy of the Cheshi Kingdom, and said coldly, "Is this the 1 people sent by your Cheshi Kingdom?"

The envoy of Che Shi Kingdom seemed a little embarrassed, and smiled awkwardly, but he still said hastily: "Five thousand men, five thousand women, this is already what our Che Shi Kingdom can do, Master Ma also knows, Our country of Cheshi has a small population. It is not easy to get together these 1 people. Moreover, when we first negotiated the conditions, we didn't make it clear. These people... are a little older, but they are human after all. "

What he said made Ma Zhou couldn't help but want to slap him across the face. What does it mean to be a little older, but he is a human after all?
What they want in the Tang Dynasty is that kind of strong labor force, a woman who can give birth to children, but among the 1 people, there are [-] people who are more than [-], and the rest are mostly in their fifties. Left and right, what can such a person do after he comes?
Maybe in later generations, people around 50 years old are still very young, and they can still do a lot of physical work, but at that time people were eating well and their nutrition could keep up. But in this era, these people can It's not bad to have a full meal, but also pay attention to nutrition?

So when these people are in their fifties, their physical fitness has gradually deteriorated. When they are asked to do some physically demanding tasks, they can't do it, even if the people in Che Shiguo are taller, they can't do it.

Ma Zhou was very angry, he snorted coldly, then turned around and rushed towards Xiliang Palace.

After arriving at Xiliang Palace, Ma Zhou told Qin Tian about the situation in Che Shiguo, and he was very angry.

"My lord, we finally defeated the Turks and rescued the siege of the Cheshi country with all our efforts, but now they have tricked us with such old, weak, sick and disabled people. They really think that we in Xiliang are easy to bully , this country of Cheshi, if the Turks don’t destroy them, then we will destroy them, it’s really abominable.”

Being able to make a bookish person like Ma Zhou angry like this shows how out of date what Che Shiguo did.

However, after hearing what Ma Zhou had said, Qin Tian smiled slightly: "Then Che Shiguo is not a fool, let alone a fool. How could it be possible that Che Shiguo's 1-year-old labor force will be given to us in Xiliang? [-] people have come, which is already very good.”

Hearing this, Ma Zhou became a little unhappy, and said, "My lord, many of these people are useless, keep them in our Xiliang, and we have to take care of their food and drink, this... what is this?" , Let me tell you, it’s useless to keep those who can work, let them go back, so as not to waste our food in Xiliang, what does the prince think?”

Xiliang doesn't support idlers. If a person is useless, then let them do something. Xiliang doesn't have that much food.

It is obviously normal to have this thought, but Qin Tian shook his head: "No, these people must not only be kept, but also their accommodation, food, heating, etc., should not be treated differently. This king must ensure that they None of these people are fine, and after coming to Xiliang, they have a good life."

"This..." Ma Zhou couldn't understand it, but Qin Tian smiled slightly and said, "These people are an introduction. If they live well, after other people see it, do you think they will?" Come to our Xiliang?"
