At dinner time, the food was sent to the courtyard. Twenty-two people skillfully learned how to use chopsticks. They started to learn after coming to the Tang Dynasty. They used to use their hands.
After dinner, they took a bath. The special bathroom could hold several people.
But only one person took a bath. The others ran to the window and looked out. Some stood at the door and put their ears on the door.
Another four people strolled into the yard. They didn't talk and just looked around.
At this time, the man who called himself Hashika Tivedi from the Tang Dynasty was taking a bath. He said to the person next to him, "When you go to bed at night, leave someone to guard the door."
The people in the bathroom nodded to show that they understood.
"When we go back, we'll find a boat somewhere else and buy it with the good things we got from the Tang Dynasty. Then take me and your families and leave Shibo."
Hashika Tivedi said about the future arrangement.
The people in the bathroom were happy. They could make money and go back to pick up their families.
"We'll go to another place and buy slaves. You also have slaves to use," Hashika Tivedi said again.
The others were even more excited and grinned.
On the other side, many people were looking at the screen. There were no women. They were taking a bath.
A translator was responsible for translating what he said into the Tang Dynasty language.
"So their country is called Shibo. As Xiao Yi said, this person is the third caste. The others are the fourth caste and pretend to be the first caste."
Bi Goo was expressionless. The people inside said that they couldn't say their real names at any time, especially their surnames.
Otherwise, a third caste and a group of fourth caste people wouldn't be treated with courtesy by the Tang Dynasty.
"Xiao Yi, which caste will we be when we get there?" Bi Goo was curious.
"According to the color of our skin, you and I are the second caste. The people in Suiye Town have white skin and are the first caste."
Li Yi thought about it and gave an answer.
"That's ridiculous." Song Jing was not happy. Why am I the second caste?
"But according to the national strength, we'll be the highest there. As long as the army is strong enough and your skin is completely black, they'll think you're noble."
Li Yi, in terms of strength, we were different from them in the past.
"They're going to run when they get back." Su Yi reminded everyone not to discuss useless topics.
According to what they said, they didn't plan to stay in their original place after they returned. They wanted to bring their families to other countries.
Obviously, the country they were going to should have no caste system, so they could enjoy their lives.
Li Yi looked at the screen with a look of admiration. "People with ideas. Under their caste system, people of lower castes generally don't have any thoughts of resistance. They think that they should be at the bottom of society …"
Li Yi started to explain again. Right now, there was a war going on in that area. Small countries were fighting against small countries, and even foreign races were fighting against each other.
It was not known at this time which period the Wars of Religion took place, and the information might not be entirely correct.
However, there was one thing that was very clear. The religion that the locals believed in was to trick people of the lower castes into accepting their fate and that they would be like this for the rest of their lives. They could not go against the nobles and resign themselves to their fate.
Even in his time, ordinary people in some areas had similar thoughts, even if they had received a higher level of education.
As for the country called Dan who liked to eat chili, their country's happiness index was the highest.
In the eyes of outsiders, the local people were very poor. At least, there were not that many household appliances, medical conditions could not keep up, and entertainment facilities were lacking.
However, people just felt happy and lived very happily every day. It was the power of religion.
Even if they lost their independence in foreign affairs and relied on other countries for military affairs.
The people of the third caste on the screen actually planned to run away. This person was not bad.
"Poor people!" Li Rizhi sighed.
"Who isn't a poor person? People in the martial arts world can't help themselves. In our Tang dynasty, there are slaves and farmers. Everyone has their own position. "
Li Yi did not feel that others were pitiful. Li Rizhi, were you not pitiful in the past?
You didn't know how to run a business. After you were given power, you kept resigning. Did you have a good life when you returned home?
Look at Yao Chong, isn't he powerful? His son was also corrupt and took bribes. He was a person with ideas.
But in the end, if I didn't help him, even his house was taken back and he ran to rent another house elsewhere.
Look at Lu Huaishen, for the sake of his family, he gave up his salary. After he died, his family didn't even have a decent house. Oh, he also rented a house in Chang 'an when he was alive.
Look at me, I … I have the same ideas, but I'm different from Yao Chong's son.
"Brother Yi is right. A pitiful person like me worries every day. Sigh!"
Li Longji seemed to feel something and shook his head and sighed.
The officials including Li Yi: "…"
The person on the screen continued to speak. The person began to call out the names of others.
There were surnames such as Su Lanji, Na Yi, and so on.
"I, Dobghan Modi, will lead you to a good life." The person finally said his name, Dobghan Modi.
"Oh!" Li Yi seemed to understand. "No wonder, it's Dobghan Modi. This surname is good. Modi, a person with ideas."
After saying that, he cackled twice, like a goose quacking.
"Gang Rou, why are you laughing at this surname …" Zhang Jiuling was puzzled. It's just Dobghan Modi, why are you laughing?
"It's okay, I was wondering why he wanted to resist. Dobghan Modi, not bad, he's a character.
I'm now thinking, if we train him, will he eventually establish a country and then lead troops to fight the Tang dynasty in order to divert domestic conflicts when the internal situation is unstable? "
Li Yi looked up at the ceiling and continued to cackle after he finished speaking.
"Even if he has a hundred guts, he still dares to talk about fighting a small country?" Li Longji snorted.
Li Yi nodded his head. "Yes, a small country. In the future, when the Tang dynasty trades there, there will be wars. We don't fight others, but others want to fight us.
People don't want to hurt the tiger, but the tiger wants to hurt people.
Ugh! In fact, if we trade, it's a kind of harm to them. We sell our technology for money, and they provide the raw materials.
If we need a lot of food, their upper class will not care if the people below are short of food in order to enjoy themselves. "
Li Yi believed that trade itself was a war. It depended on what the demand was. The trade war of food would lead to war.
"They don't care?" Su Yi reminded him again.
"Dobghan Modi has such a plan. It's not certain whether he can do it or not. If he really succeeds in bringing people to escape, is it so easy to establish a foothold in a new place?
In the end, they still have to come over to trade things with us. They rely on their other abilities to live, and it's far less profitable than trading things with the Tang dynasty.
Let's look again and understand more. If it doesn't work, let them be professional translators. Their language is different from the local languages.
Just like the dialects of the Tang dynasty, their families can be brought out. They can also go to the Tang dynasty.
We'll set up a school to train students to learn other languages and translate on board. "
Li Yi did not think that the other party would cut off the Tang dynasty just because they ran away. Once they enjoyed the sudden wealth of trade, how could they stop?
