Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

The selection was over, but everyone seemed to understand something. Even those who were left behind, who were relatively stronger and had neat clothes, remained silent and did not get angry.

Pu Er knew some of them, and he knew that although these people lived in refugee camps, the situation in their homes was indeed better, and they brought enough things when they fled. Generally speaking, these people had a larger family , especially strong labor is more.

There are also a few who were selected to work in the Datang barracks before. Even so, at least one of the remaining family members was selected.

"Okay, there are only so many people selected so far. As for the follow-up, if the scale is expanded, the rest of you will report directly to the barracks." The Datang soldier standing on the carriage said with a smile.

After the Silla man finished translating, the Tang soldier continued: "Okay, today is the first day of recruiting, and I mainly tell you some precautions. You basically don't need to do the work, so now you go home to get the tools. , I will give you everyone’s wages today. Now you all get your work cards first, and then go back to get the tools.”

It was only then that Pu Er discovered that the sacks on the carriage where the soldier was standing should be filled with grain.

After the Silla man finished translating, Pu Er queued up to get a wooden badge with a number and held it firmly in his hand, then turned and ran towards his home, there was food, there was food, and he The wife will have milk after eating, and the child will not starve to death.

Pu Er ran back home and told his weak wife the good news, which made his wife who had no strength to answer her face happy. Pu Er took a big wooden bowl at home and ran to the carriage, a catty of grain, and Not much, but enough to keep his family alive.

Pu Er came back very quickly. When he arrived, the soldiers on the carriage had already opened a bag of grain. They had a special tool, a weighing tool similar to a bamboo tube. The flat tube was a big Tang Catty grain, they have been weighed.

When he ran over, someone had already taken away the food. Pu Er handed over his badge, and the soldier smiled and filled him with a tube of food, which was so bulging that it was piled up so high...it was corn .

Seeing a tube of grain poured into his big wooden bowl, Pu Er walked home like holding a rare treasure, he was afraid of spilling any grain.

By the time Pu Er returned to his shack, his wife had managed to light up the fire, and the only clay pot had been placed on the stone shelf above the fire with water.

"His father, how much do you make?" Looking at the large bowl of food in Pu Er's second hand, Pu Er's wife swallowed and asked.

"It's all done. Today, all three of your mothers ate. Datang is in charge of the food. You are still breastfeeding the child. You can't do without food. From now on, I will have a catty of food every day." Pu Er gritted his teeth, and then made up his mind. .

"But... what if Datang doesn't hire people later?" His wife was a little worried.

"You eat all these two days first, and when you get better and have strength, then save a little bit every day." Pu Er thought for a while.

"it is good!"

"I won't tell you now, I have to go to work quickly."

"it is good!"

After explaining, Pu Er hurried to the place where he had just assembled, and soon everyone rushed back, including those old men, half-grown children, and several women.

"All line up, go back to the barracks now." The Tang soldier standing on the carriage said loudly.

Soon, the carriage started to move, and Pu Er and the others lined up and walked towards Datang's barracks.Following behind the carriage, everyone worked hard to keep the formation neat, for fear that being out of order would cause them to be fired.

It wasn't until this time that Pu Er suddenly realized that there was a puff of cooking smoke rising from the huge refugee camp. Maybe...they were just like his own family, they were all waiting for food to be cooked.

If there is no food, they would not dare to light a fire during the day, because everyone does not have much firewood, and it is difficult to survive without firewood at night.And this time is not the time to cook even if there is food, the entire refugee camp almost eats one meal, and those who work in the Datang military camp have food in charge there.

And those who have no work and have food will choose to eat at night, because the charcoal burned for cooking must be taken to the shack for heating, and the burned carbon ash must be buried under the soil and covered with weeds. It can keep you warm all night.

It was at this time that Pu Er realized that there were many people like their family waiting for the rice to be cooked.

Pu Er thought of the situation when the Tang soldier selected candidates just now, and the arrogant Silla man.He suddenly became silent, why isn't he from Datang?

Soon, Pu Er couldn't care less about these things. Even though he was hungry, he suddenly felt an unprecedented hope.If you have food, you can live, and if you can live, you have hope!

Datang's military camp soon arrived, and when they got here, they realized that porridge had already been cooked in Datang's military camp, which was provided for them for breakfast.

Pu Er lined up, enduring his hungry stomach screaming endlessly, and finally it was his turn soon, and Datang provided him with a large wooden bowl and a pair of chopsticks.

Holding the wooden bowl, Pu Er quickly got a bowl of porridge. Looking at the big bowl of porridge provided by Datang, he wanted to cry.

Because the thick porridge made his hands tremble a little, and, not only a bowl of porridge, everyone also put a large chopsticks into their bowls of pickled cabbage, which was pickled vegetables.

Pu Er found a place to squat down, mixed the pickles into the bowl with chopsticks, and then began to "snooze" and "snooze" to eat.

Soon, he licked the entire wooden bowl clean. He didn't feel ashamed at all, because almost everyone was doing the same thing, and this bowl of pickles mixed with white porridge was the most delicious thing Pu Er had ever eaten in his life. delicious stuff.

After eating, he followed the soldiers of Datang to wash the dishes and chopsticks in the sink next to him. Although the water was very cold, Pu Er washed them very carefully because the soldiers of Datang said that they should be cleaned.

After eating, all of them were brought together to a playground, every fifty people in a group, and all of them were crowded together and sat on a pile of hay.

And there was a Tang soldier standing in front of them. Pu Er didn't know what they were going to do, but he still sat obediently.

Until the soldier came over and said with a smile: "Today I mainly tell you some working rules and teach you some things, but now I will teach you something very important, that is weaving straw sandals."

Straw sandals?Pu Er was taken aback for a moment, grass can also weave shoes?

"Because many of you have worn-out shoes, the straw sandals I teach you to weave today can protect your feet when you have no shoes and work, and keep you warm!" the soldier said from his He reached out and took out a pair of already braided straw sandals and said.

Looking at the pair of straw sandals, Pu Er's eyes lit up.
