Chapter 2786 New Deal
"There are injustice and debts. If anyone does bad things, we will hate anyone. We will not spread anger on your head for no reason. There are also several Turkic families in the village. They were like you, worried that we would look at them with strange eyes. In fact, they don't have to worry. Our Central Plains is a country of etiquette and has the same tolerance as others. As long as we come with kindness, we welcome them."
"Uh... Brother Niu, you said it very well."
"Nowhere, it's all said by Dr. Chen." Uncle Niu scratched his head embarrassedly: "By the way, if you want to learn Chinese, you can ask them to teach you the Turkic neighbors in the village. I don't have time, otherwise I will teach you myself..."
Doo
Qi Wu suddenly heard a loud voice behind him. Before he could react, Uncle Niu pulled Qi Wu away.
A giant drove past Qi Wu. Qi Wu widened his eyes and looked at the giant in shock.
"That...what is that?"
"Oh, that's a truck. Remember, you have to stand on the side of the road when walking in the future. Although the road is wide, there are often iron trucks passing by, which is very dangerous."
"Truck? Iron cart? How many horses are there in it?"
"Haha... there are no horses or cows inside."
Uncle Niu laughed and said, "But this thing has just been released. In less than a month, Dr. Chen was foresighted and repaired the road early. Now our village is the most convenient. The specialties here are transported out and the materials outside are transported in."
"There is no cow or horse, so what can pull it?"
"You don't understand even after saying that...but I don't understand much. Anyway, it was made by our craftsmen in the court, so it probably only Doctor Chen can understand it."
"Doctor Xiao Chen is very knowledgeable, right?"
"No, there is nothing he doesn't understand. In the past, I asked Dr. Xiao Chen why he came to our small and broken village. He said that he came out of the Zhongxian Pavilion and hoped to do something. His teacher told him that the poorest and most broken place would be a career. To be honest, I admire Dr. Xiao Chen's teacher."
Qi Wu looked at the environment of the village. The village was surrounded by mountains, but there was a wide road leading to the outside of the mountain.
The houses in the village are all very beautiful. Although they are not as big as Dr. Chen’s house, they are red bricks and white tiles in every household.
Central Plains! This is the people of the great power of the Central Plains...
Thinking back to my tribe, I lived in that small turtle bag with Ama, and what I fear most is raining and snowing. If I encounter hail, I even have to hide under the bed, and the tent bag will be smashed by hail in an instant.
Hail as big as a fist falls from the sky and will kill people.
If you look at the houses in this village, I am afraid that no matter how big the hail is, it will not hurt people.
The Central Plains and the Turkic Grassland are separated by a snow-capped mountain, but why is the gap so big?
The big leader of his tribe, regardless of his life and death, never tires of exploiting and exploiting himself, even the dead sheep must be taken away, and he does not even give him a little way out.
Look at this side again. They are obviously not close to them, but they lend a helping hand when they are on the verge of despair.
Qi Wu really couldn't find a place where he had left some souvenirs for the prairie.
"Uncle Niu, look... If a month passes, can I continue to stay with Dr. Chen as an assistant?"
"You can't see it yet." Uncle Niu said with a smile: "Doctor Xiao Chen just saw that you and Ama were helpless and had no support, so that you can also get a job certificate and no need to return to the grassland."
"What is a work permit?"
"Oh, I forgot to tell you that this is a new law a year ago. All foreigners who enter the Central Plains need to find a stable job first before applying for a job certificate, so that you and Ama can continue to stay in the Central Plains. If you don't have a job certificate, you can't even find a place to live. After working in the Central Plains for a year, you are eligible to apply for the status of the people of Wutang. Of course, you can also not apply."
"Ah... there is still this trick?"
"Yes, I heard from Dr. Chen that because the court is now counting the population and then distributing welfare, if foreigners come in casually and don't need to pay anything, they can enjoy the benefits assigned by the court, it is obviously impossible. Just like you, if you always come to the Central Plains, and leave when you want to leave, then the court's money will be wasted?"
"Central Plains is so good, who can bear to leave?" Qi Wu said directly without much care.
"The Central Plains is naturally good, but there are many shortcomings. The court welcomes you like this. Now Wutang is good, but there are few people. Therefore, the court also hopes that you can stay and do more for the court. Now the Holy Emperor rectifies the court's principles and new policies are frequently introduced. It is the time to employ people. If you have any ability, you can be reused."
"What can I do? I'll just be a grazer. Give me thousands of cattle and sheep. I can make them fat and strong. I can't do other things even if I want to."
"How many thousand cattle and sheep? Can you raise them alone?"
"Brother Niu, you don't understand this. This flock of cattle and sheep also has a cow. Just select the cow and sheep and let them listen to you. But this life is really special. In addition, there are some details in the places where grazing is all about, but it doesn't mean that grass is fat..."
As soon as he talked about grazing, Que Wu became excited and kept talking nonstop.
Suddenly, Qi Wu realized that he had said too much, so he looked at Uncle Niu carefully, thinking that he would be tired of hearing so much, right?
"Qi Wu, to be honest, you are real. If you go back and ask Dr. Xiao Chen, you may be able to find a good job for you."
"I don't want any other errands. It's best to be with Dr. Xiao Chen. Mrs. Xiao Chen is good and capable. What's better than to be with Dr. Xiao Chen?"
"You are wrong, don't you know. Doctor Xiao Chen had an assistant by his side before. Just because Doctor Xiao Chen heard about his specialties, he introduced him to Chang'an City. He heard that the man is now a high-ranking official in the capital. Doctor Xiao Chen said that he can use everything and give full play to his talents. If he keeps such talented people by his side as assistants, this is the greatest disrespect. Last year, the man went back to the village and immediately went to Dr. Xiao Chen to thank him for his great kindness."
"I raise sheep and cattle... what kind of official can I become? Isn't it possible?"
"You really don't say that Dr. Chen's former assistant is a farmer. How noble do you think the farmer can be than the one you raise cattle? There are many people in the world who farm, but how many can be an official?"
"How did that farmer become a high-ranking official? What special talents do he have?"
"That man has his own circumstances. Look at our village, it is cold all year round, and almost no grass grows. The man suddenly had a whim and thought about how to grow living things. He thought of all kinds of ways. It's really true that he really came up with a solution. Then he talked about this with Dr. Xiao Chen. Without saying a word, Dr. Xiao Chen wrote a letter of recommendation to him and gave him the travel expenses to the capital."
Uncle Niu looked at Qi Wu: "You are not low in herding ability. Let's talk to Dr. Xiao Chen. Even if Dr. Xiao Chen doesn't like you, you will not lose much. But if Dr. Xiao Chen is attracted to you, you may not be able to make a fortune. You don't have to stay in this poor valley."
"What's the matter with Brother Niu? This is a paradise, much better than on the grassland. How about the poor mountain valley?"
"You haven't seen the world outside. I've been there a few times and I know how good it is outside." Uncle Niu said with emotion: "The Central Plains are changing with each passing day. Maybe if you don't go out for a walk for half a year, the outside will have changed a lot."
"Brother Niu, why are you staying here?"
"I stay here because I have money to make. Look at me hunting. Although the imperial court stipulates that it is only three months of hunting every year, and it is not as good as it used to be, the money I earn is a hundred times that of the past. Even if I go outside, I may not be able to do anything. Instead, I make a lot of money in this mountain valley."
Uncle Niu paused and said, "But all the young people in the village went out to explore, and there were not many young people in the village."
"How can you make a hundred times more money? Is it because there are too many prey here?" Qi Wu asked in confusion.
When he was on the grassland, his family lacked food, so he would go hunting, but he knew that this hunting was a skill and a lucky job. Being able to hunt a rabbit in ten days and half a month was considered a harvest, but Uncle Niu's mouth made Qi Wu a little puzzled and somewhat suspicious.
"It's not that I've hunted a hundred times more than in the past, it means that the prey is worth a hundred times more than in the past." Uncle Niu said: "For example, this blind bear, in the past, it would be good to sell a few taels of silver for a blind bear, but now there is no thousand taels of silver, and you can't even buy a piece of skin."
"Can a bear skin be worth a thousand taels of silver?"
"That's not, but the court has policies. In our village, more than 20 certified hunters can only hunt more than twenty blind bears. It's not enough to have one more. They will be severely punished because there are not many bears. If they are all hunting for huge profits and random hunting, there will be an extinction day. It will be impossible for us to hunt bears again. It is also because of the implementation of this new policy that the price of bear skins has skyrocketed, and the bear paws have also increased a hundred times. Bear meat is cheap, so we will keep it for ourselves."
"The emperor of the Central Plains is so powerful. I heard that he is a woman...how could there be such a powerful woman..."
"What's wrong with women!" When Uncle Niu heard Qi Wu's words, he looked down on women a little, and immediately glared at Qi Wu: "Our Wu Emperor has been the emperor of the ages, and the real dragon descended to the earth. Even if he is a daughter, his political achievements are hundreds of times stronger than those of the previous emperors. Now I only hope that Wu Emperor can live for a few more years... no, decades... preferably hundreds of years." (~^~)
