Chapter 608: Cultivating the Start (Part 2)

At the same time as the entire announcement ended, Li Tai's orders were also constantly conveyed to the Tang Dynasty through the fleet at sea. There were special speedboats and small boats to convey messages, so the caravans prepared in advance immediately began to transport food.

The massive amount of grain stored on Jeju Island began to be transported to the eastward island, and merchant ships also headed towards Henan Road. The grain stored at Datang Port also quickly boarded different fleets of ships and ships to different directions.

Japan is an island with a small area itself and fewer places to support people. Therefore, the other nine counties are not far from the coast, but not all counties are built on the beach, because Kyushu Island is facing the invasion of typhoons.

So when they were established, they had long had experience in fighting typhoons. However, even if these county towns were not on the beach, they were not very far from the beach.

The fleets that transport grain are more convenient and can be transported directly to different county towns. These county towns are also the main gathering places for people, and other villages are not far away.

But thinking about it, the entire Kyushu Island is only 36,500 square kilometers, divided into 10 counties in total. On average, the area of ​​each county is only about 3,650 square kilometers. Convert, it is just a block of 60 times 60 kilometers. This area is not very large, and the speed of passing commands is naturally very fast.

Not to mention that there are also some peaks in the south with an altitude of about 1,700 meters, which also occupy a lot of area, so its arable land area is not large, and a considerable number of people rely on fishing for a living.

The grain was first transported to Bota Port. The first batch of grain came with those scholars who followed Li Tai. They would soon be distributed to different county towns, with two thousand scholars, and two hundred people in each county town, which was enough. So many officials were not used in the early stage, but they still held teaching tasks later, so it was simple.

Here we have to talk about Li Tai's intelligence. First of all, Japan has no separate characters so far. All the characters in Japan are recorded in Chinese characters, that is to say, all the characters in Japan are Chinese characters.

Later Japanese was written in Japanese in the early and middle periods of the Tang Dynasty, and was revised and gradually formed in the middle and late periods. During this period, Li Tai wrote all the Japanese characters in the entire Japanese country.

Not only Chinese characters, Japan has its own language, but because Japan has gradually quoted and used Chinese characters since the Han Dynasty. Although the Japanese language has been passed down, due to the continuous use of Chinese characters, many of the Japanese languages ​​actually have Chinese accents.

Some accents are very similar to Henan Road, which is closest to Japan. The accents and meanings are actually similar to those of Chinese, but only part of them, and the other part is that they use their own Japanese pronunciation to change the pronunciation of Chinese characters.

In fact, this has an advantage, that is, in Japan, the basis for using Chinese characters is very good, but in fact, most of the people in Japan were originally slaves and they were not literate, and these parts were all nobles.

But when teaching them to learn Chinese in the future, it will not be too simple with these techniques!

When the first batch of grain was transported, the other nine counties were not bad for the time being, but in the city of Hakata, a brand new recruitment announcement was posted, that is, His Highness Li Tai needed to establish a military camp for these soldiers and establish His Highness Li Tai's own palace, which required a large amount of land and a large number of personnel to work.

The main content of this announcement is to recruit people who have nothing to do in the city to work, and His Highness Li Tai will distribute food to them every day as salary.

Is this necessary? It is not necessary, but Li Tai is now copying his teacher's homework, which cannot be regarded as copying. What Li Tai does is buy horse bones with a fortune.

When doing this, all the logistics work has naturally been done, and the construction site, the camp location for the construction barracks, etc. have been selected.

Of course, the most important food has been prepared.

However, Li Tai is not compulsory, so the people of Hakata Castle were a little confused when they received this task. They were used to the nobles commanding them. Now suddenly no one commanded them, and they didn't know what to do.

But Li Tai... didn't seem to be planning to send someone to command... Both sides froze. In the end, Hakata Nagagawa was clever. No matter what Li Tai wanted to do, he definitely needed the people, so Hakata Nagagawa asked his people to hint that these people were going to work.

However, he did not dare to do it on a large scale. On the first day, he just went to work on time.

Li Tai actually didn't care about how many people came, because he believed that more and more people would be. The original lives of these people could be said to be worse than pigs and dogs, and they were far from the original ordinary people of the Tang Dynasty, let alone the current people of the Tang Dynasty.

On the first day, the three hundred people came to their destination honestly, but to their surprise, the first thing His Highness who waited for them to come to the place and asked them to work was not anything else, but actually sent them clothes?!

The weather on Kyushu Island is actually good. It has a subtropical climate, so the average temperature is not low every year. The temperature is the lowest in January every year, but the average temperature is also 500 degrees Celsius, while the average temperature in summer is about 2700 degrees Celsius.

And the people on this island...the clothes are so bad. Ordinary people wear linen clothes, and they are all very torn. What good clothes can they have? Some of them have good clothes rewarded by their masters.

But now Li Tai has given each of them a set of linen clothes, but it is made of fine linen! It is much more comfortable to wear than their thick linen clothes! And it is much stronger!

Coarse burlap was no longer sold in the Tang Dynasty. Ordinary people nowadays, but fine linens are still worn by the people, but fine linens are also used for work in the people's homes, and they wear much more particular things in daily life than fine linens.

Most people can afford to wear silk.

But it is impossible here. This time, Li Tai naturally bought a large number of fine linen clothes. Many of these clothes were bought from the bottom of the box, and they were all bought from some merchants in the Tang Dynasty to the warehouse. They could not sell them at first, but Li Tai bought them back at a cheap price.

The people of Donglin Island who received the clothes were all confused. Is this... the boss so good? But there are even more confusing them. When they started working, they not only gave them good tools, but also gave them all the food they ate! Solid meals!

There is even broth to eat! These things were not originally served by them. They could eat some fish occasionally, but meat? Don’t even think about it. It is even more impossible to eat enough. Those nobles don’t care about the life or death of slaves. It would be good if they could eat to support their lives. Do you want to eat enough?

But now Li Tai actually let them eat full. Not only are they full, but they actually have three meals a day!

And when the day ended, each of them received 2 kilograms of food as their salary today? This... they couldn't believe what they saw. But the things they received were solid.

So, when these people received the things, they happened to see Li Tai who built a high platform beside them to see them work.

Then, I don’t know who took the lead, so I walked straight to Li Tai and knelt down firmly, then held the food in both hands, kowtowed to Li Tai a few times, and then left here honestly.

After the last people left, Li Tai felt satisfied. He actually didn't expect this scene. All he thought about was the shocked expressions of these people and... More people would definitely come to work for him tomorrow!

This is a huge fortune to buy horse bones! After this step, Li Tai won the people's hearts of the entire Donglin Island, because the other nine counties will also carry out similar work in the next few days.

Because the grain transport in several other counties is slightly slower, it is necessary to accumulate a certain amount of food!

"Leshan, let me know and tell the people who have received the food that I gave the food they have, and they are also the people from the east. If anyone tries to steal their food or clothes, let them go to Dali Temple and send someone to catch these people and kill the chicken to warn the monkey!" Li Tai said viciously.

Now he has a unique sense of satisfaction. He used to not care about these ordinary people, but for some reason, after a few years of the Han Dynasty, now when he sees the admiring gaze in the eyes of these ordinary people, Li Tai has a strange sense of satisfaction. Now whoever dares to touch these ordinary people is touching his Li Tai's cake!

"Yes!" Leshan immediately bowed.

In fact, Li Tai was thinking too much. Who dared to reach out during this period? No one! Japan is a semi-slave society, and this semi-slave society has a characteristic, that is, it is a kind of ranger like the Tang Dynasty... almost none.

It’s not that there are no such gangsters here, but almost all these gangsters have masters. In Hakata City, the gangsters who do similar things are supported by nobles. People without noble support want to be raiders similar to the Tang Dynasty? Impossible! They have been destroyed long ago! Because ordinary people on this land, you can’t survive without masters!

So, Li Tai is the biggest owner of this city now. At this critical moment, no fool dares not open his eyes.
