I am engaged in construction in Datang

Chapter 261 Labor is Glorious

If the man could understand Turkish, Songpu would have beaten the boy up again.

"Eat it, it's candy." Songpu said to the doll with some disgust.

After saying that, he raised his eyes and looked at the man: "What does this general want to see me for?"

"There is indeed something you need to make amends for."

The man grinned and said, "Of course, you don't have to do it. Then I can only arrest you for violating Tang law."

Song Pu frowned: "When did I violate Tang law?"

"Isn't the Compulsory Education Law the Tang Law?" The man took out a booklet from his pocket and turned to one of the pages: "Anyone who fails to send their children to public elementary schools in accordance with regulations shall be detained for 7 to 15 days in accordance with the law..."

"!" Songpu's face changed drastically. This thing is actually the law!

This is just a joke!

How can one force people to go to school? And I have never seen a punishment like detention for a few days.

"Oh, right."

The man smiled with his white teeth: "I still have to do a week of voluntary labor."

As he spoke, he took out a super bright vest from the cloth bag, which also came with a small hat. On the front of the vest was written 'Labor is Glorious', and on the back was written 'To admit one's mistakes and correct them is the greatest virtue'.

"You will have to wear a small vest and patrol the county town."

"The specific job content is to help the vegetable vendor carry her basket, protect the playing children from being kidnapped by bad guys, deal with small disputes among neighbors, and help the people find their cats and dogs..."

"..." Song Pu was speechless, as he couldn't open his eyes because of the bright color of the vest.

Songpu is a well-known figure among the Turks. If he was really taken away to do these things, where would he save his face?

"What if I don't agree?" Song Pu asked quietly.

"Then you have broken the law, haven't you? If you refuse to change, you will be beaten with a stick and sent to a mine for labor reform."

The man smiled and said, "You don't have to worry. We have many brothers and sisters in the mine!"

After saying that, he waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him surrounded Songpu's courtyard.

The baby who was holding Songpu's thigh was so frightened that he swallowed the candy as big as his little finger into his stomach, followed by a dry cough.

"How can I have the right to choose!" Song Pu snorted coldly, but he had to do what the man said.

He still has some ability to make up for his mistakes, but others are not so lucky.

With just one order, all the babies in Atule Village were collected by the soldiers.

"I know all of you have heard about compulsory education, but unfortunately no one takes it seriously."

The man spoke one sentence and Songpu translated it.

"Each of you should be punished according to the law of obligations."

"But considering that everyone is a first-time offender, detention will be waived. Everyone will have to do a week of voluntary labor, and we will assign shifts for you then..."

Outside Atule Village.

"Muramasa, why don't we just send the doll over."

"Have they arrested anyone?" Feng Ji was playing with the skewers in his hand, feeling uneasy.

“No…” The attendant was a little embarrassed: “But it’s better to arrest someone!”

"No adult in the village was spared. They were all punished and told to do a week of voluntary labor."

"Mining?" Feng Ji knew the current punishment model.

"No, I patrol the county town and the official roads wearing a small vest, helping the people solve trivial matters."

As the attendant spoke, he took out the vest that he had borrowed from Atule Village for two hundred copper coins. After checking it, he had to return it to the owner.

Feng Ji narrowed his eyes slightly. This thing was slightly more aggressive.

The vest was a particularly eye-catching combination of orange and green, orange on the left and green on the right. I had no idea how it was dyed, it was bright and shiny.

No sleeves, no buttons.

On the front, the word "Labor" is written in big black on the left side of the chest, and the word "Glory" is written on the right side of the chest.

There is a famous saying behind it, and anyone who can read knows what it means.

"Try it on." Feng Ji pointed at the strange vest, feeling inexplicably embarrassed.

The servant obeyed and put the vest on over his coat.

"..." Feng Ji was so embarrassed that he was speechless.

The attendant was still not satisfied, so he took out a strange green hat from somewhere and put it on his head: "They say this can block the sun."

"..." Feng Ji's lips began to tremble. Although he was short-sighted, he also knew Duke Zhuang of Qi and Cui Zhu!

This hat glows green!

"Let's go!" He made a prompt decision and shouted, "Go back to the village!"

"?" The servant was surprised and had to obey.

"Hurry up and drive!"

Feng Ji shouted, "Tomorrow is September 9st, and school is about to start! The children in our village haven't registered yet!"

“???” The servant was completely confused.

Why did you suddenly become positive?

……

Early September.

At a small pier along the coast of Suzhou.

A small but exquisite wooden boat stopped on the coast. When the local fishermen saw it, they came forward with weapons in hand.

There are always some islanders who cannot get enough food, so they frantically develop "maritime trade".

Those people living by the sea are used to it. They beat one at a time and two at a time.

But there are also 'good' ones, such as the Japanese country, where people are always very respectful and always bend down to share good things with everyone.

Although he is not tall, he is quite sensible.

"Who are you?" The leading man had a fierce look on his face, with a scar on the tip of his eyebrow extending all the way to his chin.

"Hey~"

Sato bent over, smiled and trotted over to bow and saluted: "Hello, Alang, we are from Japan."

The word "Wo" is not a nice thing to say, and they would never call themselves that on their own island.

But now that we are standing on the territory of the Tang Dynasty, naturally we have to accept whatever they say.

"Oh, you're from Japan." The man smiled with his big white teeth, and the scars on his face became more hideous. He said without hesitation: "What good stuff did you bring? Let us see it."

Sato's face changed slightly for a moment. This time he met a tough guy.

When these small countries sent people to the Tang Dynasty, they had to first send someone to notify the local government or garrison when they arrived at the place, and then someone would come to lead the way.

People like them who were blocked by unofficial organizations before they had time to notify others can only consider themselves unlucky.

It is absolutely unacceptable to cause conflict, and it is also unacceptable to be right.

If you escape this time, you will never have the chance to contact the local authorities next time. They will simply block you at sea and not let you come over.

At this time, the Tang Dynasty's naval system was still quite immature. It only had two small fleets, and could barely dominate the Asian waters. Most of the maritime defense still depended on the fishermen themselves.

"Oh, isn't this a coincidence!"

Sato smiled widely: "We brought a lot of Japanese specialties this time, such as cherry blossom wine..."

"Oh." The man said with little interest: "Cherry blossoms are for viewing. Why didn't you ask what they were for when you transplanted them there?"

The man continued to look down at the other person: "Besides, cherry blossoms are not your specialty!"

“……”Sato’s expression was numb.

"Did you bring anything rare?" After denying Sakura, the man stretched his head to look at the other boat.

If you have gold and silver, you will be rich...

He doesn't take it, he just takes a look at it.
