Blue and White Society

  Chapter 254 Settlement

  Seeing that they were eating so happily, Mo Poor asked them to cook dozens of kilograms of rice again.

  There is no oil or water, and the rice is served with pickles. They actually tasted like high-end cuisine.

  Their past days, presumably they were in dire straits, Mo Poor just gave him meals, and they all showed satisfied expressions.

As far as Mo Poor knows, the staple food of farmers in Japan and ancient times was wheat and radishes. Although rice has to be paid as a tribute, it is not completely uneaten. Those who have not eaten are children or young people. Basically, they will at least taste it in their entire lives. A few times, especially during the Azuchi-Momoyama period, there would be rice for military service.

   But this group of people actually said that they had never even seen cooked rice.

  After asking, Mo Poor found out that most of the time their staple food was taro and beans, and if they mixed all kinds of beans together and cooked, it would be a meal, and they didn't even eat buckwheat.

  As for rice, it is neither affordable nor allowed.

  Productivity can be so low that it was at least more than a thousand years ago.

  At that time, although Rihe had learned technology and systems from the Sui and Tang Dynasties, most of the areas were ghost lands, and only a few core areas such as Heianjing had achieved considerable development.

  So there are still many such miserable farmers in other remote areas.

"good to eat!"

   "It's delicious!"

  After the second bowl of white rice served with sauerkraut, their taste buds seemed to be opened to a new world.

  The softness and aroma of the rice, coupled with the slight elastic teeth, made them feel that they have no regrets in this life.

   With sauerkraut, it seems that a chemical reaction has occurred, and the complex taste makes their brains crazily secrete happiness hormones.

  Although sauerkraut is just sauerkraut, the craftsmanship is much higher than that of ancient times.

  Modern people like to eat once in a while, not to mention that this is something that Lord Gou himself often eats. The impact on the taste buds of those who have never eaten good food is irresistible.

   "Woooooooooooooo..."

   "It's such a good thing to eat."

   "Are we already dead?"

   "Even if you kill me now, it's worth it."

  The group of Tuqi people cried and started talking nonsense.

  Mo Poor could see that they were very insecure, after all everything was like a dream.

  So he said: "No one will kill you. From now on, you will work for me, and you can eat rice every meal, and..."

"what!"

   "Eat this from now on?"

   "How is it possible? Is this rice all for us to eat?"

  Tuqi people are going crazy, what is the concept of eating rice every meal? It was already the most beautiful day they could have imagined.

  The excitement of this group of people forced Mo Poor to swallow the second half of his words.

  At first, I wanted to say that I would add more food, but seeing that they are so easy to satisfy, let's forget it and talk about it later.

  Although this group of people has no potential and can do some physical work on the island at most, it is still beneficial, that is, it is really easy to support.

  If a modern employee is only given food every day, he would have rebelled long ago.

   And these people are extremely happy when they have food, and such a high level of happiness can't be called abuse.

  The rice given by Lord Gou is enough to last for half a year, and the rice is not expensive. In the future, this thing can be eaten openly, and it is absolutely impossible for him to eat poorly.

   What's more, with so much open space on the island, they can buy some rice seedlings, wheat seeds, and even various vegetables for them to grow by themselves. Self-sufficiency is no problem.

  Thinking about it carefully, Mo Poor almost picked up 300 people for nothing.

  He ordered a hundred adaptive seeds online, and then beckoned for the two scholars to come over.

  The two scholars had eaten their fill normally, and felt relieved a lot, and they were no longer so worried.

  Tuqi people feel that giving them food is to kill them, and they must do extremely dangerous work, otherwise how could they be so kind to them?

  These two scholars are smarter. Seeing this act of reassuring the people like opening a warehouse to release food, they knew that Mo Poor would not kill them, but just let them live and work in peace on this island.

  It can be seen that the concepts and cognitions of the two countries on "people" are completely opposite.

   "Shangxian, what are your orders?" The two scholars made a speech.

  Mo Poor smiled and said, "Huh? Am I going to become a fairy now?"

  The two scholars were embarrassed, but they still bite the bullet and said: "The great immortal opened up a world and used many magic weapons, so he is naturally a man among immortals."

   "Okay, it's fine for them to lick. If you two have studied, just call me the boss." Mo Poor said.

   "It's... the boss." The two scholars saluted again.

   "Which dynasty and generation are you from?" Mo Poor asked.

   "Our brothers are all from Yaoshan, Xingzhou. The current dynasty name is Zhou, and the reign name is Xiande." The older scholar said.

   This is very comfortable to speak, and the order is clear. Mo Poor nodded and said, "Zhou? Is it the empress?"

  The two scholars looked at each other and said: "You should be talking about Wu Zhou, right? Boss, you may not be very clear in heaven... Da Tang has been dead for fifty years."

  Mo Poor thought suddenly, what? Datang dead?

   "Oh, Hou Zhou, by the way...Xian De, is that Chai Rong?"

The two scholars hesitated for a while, and finally the younger one said: "The surname of the country today is Guo... The sage is the adopted son of Taizu... But he treats his biological father with the courtesy of uncle Yuan. Clan people are the royal family..."

  Before he finished speaking, the older scholar glared at his younger brother, and then said: "The boss has sharp eyes, and his morality is His Majesty's surname. Going back to the root and returning to the original, how can you correct it?"

   "... what elder brother taught me." The younger brother trembled and dared not speak.

  Mo Poor touched his Adam's apple, feeling a little embarrassed.

  Although members of the club must be familiar with history, it is not necessary to study history. Chai Rong was indeed called by later historians. At that time, he was indeed Guo Rong. No one dared to say that the Chai family was a royal family. Wouldn’t it be courting death to say that the Chai family had the right to inherit? Only Guo Rong's own son is.

  Thinking about it carefully, calling his ancestral surname was just to weaken the legitimacy of his rule by the Zhao Song Dynasty, so as to strengthen the legitimacy of the Zhao Song Dynasty's replacement in disguise. That is: Chai can replace Guo, and Zhao can also replace Chai.

  He, a modern person, has a different way of thinking. Even if he is familiar with history, he can't compare with these two real ancients. He committed a "big taboo of the dynasty" with only a few words.

   "The Zhou you are talking about has been dead for more than a thousand years." Mo Poor said while drinking water to hide his embarrassment.

   "Yes...someone has told us before that the name of the country today is Lanbai." The older scholar said.

   "Pfft!" Mo Qiong spat out a mouthful of water, and hurriedly said, "No! No! Don't talk nonsense!"

  Just as Mo Qiong called Guo Rong Chai Rong from a modern point of view, these two ancients also understood the Lanbai Society as a dynasty from their point of view.

  I think so, the Lanbai Society doesn’t allow them to wander around, they can only live in the territory of the Lanbai Society, let them work, and provide them with living security, isn’t it just to Anmin?

  The 'national power' is so strong and the land is so vast, even if it is not the 'Xian Dynasty', it must be the Shang Kingdom.

  The two scholars saw that Mo Qiong reacted so strongly, his face turned pale, and hurriedly said: "The villain is here for the first time, I don't know what taboo I have committed, please forgive me...forgive me for my ignorance."

Mo Qiong sighed: "It's okay, it's not that much taboo. In short, the Lanbaishe Society is not the dynasty you know, and you can't go back to the Central Plains. From now on, you can live here. You can live comfortably here. Guaranteed. Seeing that you are powerless, I don’t count on you for farming. Take care of these Tuqi people for me, and lead them to reclaim a piece of wasteland and circle a manor, except for the few I asked you to plant. In addition to seeds, I will also provide you with traditional crops so that you can be self-sufficient..."

"Of course, I also have an additional requirement for you, that is to learn, first give me a thorough understanding of modern Chinese characters, and then I will hand over the instructions of these machines to you for study. I don't ask you to know why, first let me know why , know how to use it, and know how to read the thermometer is enough."

  The two scholars were overjoyed, isn't this what it means to be an official? It might not be very formal, but it's enough.

  They thought that they would also work together with those savages, and thought to themselves that if they had read books for nothing in this life, they would be able to be petty officials.

  The real work is also reading and studying, which is really great.

   It seems that this Lanbai Dynasty is still very kind to scholars.

  Seeing them bowing their heads and secretly delighted, Mo Poor shook his head secretly. It can only be said that the taller out of the shorter ones, these two scholars are not very useful, but it should be possible to manage this one-third of an acre of land.

   "I'll give you another three hours. If you're done here, go to the headquarters to find me. You still have pet companions that you haven't got yet." Lord Gou smoked a cigarette for a long time, and said suddenly.

  Mo Poor was taken aback and said, "What? And pets?"

  …
