Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Soon, the team finally reached Joshua's turn. At this time, he had confirmed that everyone would give them a plate and a meal, even children of several years old. Unless the child can't take it by himself, he will give it to his parents. One serving, but more will be given.

And his daughter was six years old. Although she was not tall, the other party gave her a separate dinner plate, and then gave her a big spoonful of the stewed vegetables and a steamed bun on the plate.

This thing looks like bread, but it is not as dark as brown bread. It looks quite white, as if it is also made of wheat.Because Joshua smelled the scent of wheat.

"Remember, these are chopsticks. When you arrive in the Tang Dynasty, you must learn to use chopsticks. Otherwise, those of you who don't know how to use chopsticks may not be able to eat." The soldier who brought them food explained in Persian.

The soldier who distributed the steamed buns to them told them that after eating, everyone should put their plates in their rooms. When the bell rang again, they would come out with their plates to wash them just like they had just received the meal.

Joshua remembered it all. On the way back carrying the food, his nose was constantly assaulted by the aroma of these unattractive-looking meals.

It smells really good.

After returning to their room and closing the door, the three of them couldn't wait to eat. They didn't know how to use chopsticks, and the other party didn't provide a spoon.

Joshua could only use his hands, but when the unattractive vegetable was put into his mouth, he suddenly widened his eyes, ignoring the fact that his mouth was full, and subconsciously let out "Woo "Woo" sound.

This...is so delicious.There is not only salt in it, but also other spices.

This... let alone food for slaves, even when they are not captured, their own families cannot afford such food.

That bread is also delicious. It is made of wheat, but there doesn’t seem to be much wheat bran mixed in. It’s not rough at all!

Joshua's daughter was already like a little wolfdog who had been hungry for many days. She almost buried her face in the dinner plate and ate.

She had never eaten anything so delicious, let alone one that was full.

But what they don't know is that what they eat is just potatoes mixed with some dried vegetables, potato powder, etc.

All the food of the three people was eaten by them.The food given by the other party was not particularly large, and Joshua was actually not particularly full, but this was already an unprecedentedly full meal.

"Father, are they sent by gods to save us?" Joshua's daughter raised her head and asked with her big eyes blinking.

"Right." It took a long time for Joshua to say two words.

The dinner plates were put together, and the plates had actually been licked very clean, but Joshua thought of what the soldier said, asking them to learn to use chopsticks, otherwise they would not even be able to eat in the future.

He quickly picked up the three pairs of chopsticks that were not used by them at all and said, "Quick, let's practice using chopsticks. If we can't learn how to use them, they may not feed us."

The soldier who had just brought them the steamed buns had a pair of chopsticks in his hand to pick up the steamed buns, so Joshua also took a look.

He picked up the chopsticks with his clumsy hands, and then began to teach his wife and daughter that it was okay to clamp the straw under the bed without anything.

It wasn't until the bell rang outside again that Joshua picked up three dinner plates and three pairs of chopsticks and walked out without letting his wife and daughter come out.Just like before, everyone lined up again and walked towards the kitchen.

Only this time, everyone's expressions were different. The emotions on their faces were much calmer, and the panic and anxiety were much less.

When they arrived at the place where they had just received the meal, there were several large pools. They needed to wash the wooden dinner plate with sea water in these pools, and then put it aside.

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty would rinse these dinner plates with fresh water, but the fresh water would not let them take over for the time being.

Although Strictly speaking, there is no shortage of fresh water on Datang's ship, because there are various fresh water collection devices.

At night, some lamp oil was quickly distributed in the cabin. The other party helped them light the oil lamp and left.

The oil lamp can be ignited for about two hours. After the oil lamp is extinguished for two hours, the cabin will naturally be completely dark.

Although it was very depressing in this small cabin, and they could feel the ship moving on the vast sea, they didn't know where Datang was, and they didn't know how long they would need to stay on the ship.

But today's experience alone made them feel a lot more at ease. Regardless of whether they were slaves or not, at least Datang didn't seem to want to torture them. Otherwise, they wouldn't be given these meals today.

Their journey was not far away. Pulling them from Arabia, Datang went straight to the area where later Pakistan is located, which is the Tianzhu River Basin, because this place is now where Datang is located.

Although Ashina Shilu actually recruited a large number of Tianzhu people according to the Tang Dynasty's policy when he was here, and many Tianzhu people who fled here have survived, the population here is still not large.

At least it cannot fill the basins on both sides of the Tianzhu River.

It only took a few days to travel day and night to get here from Arabia. For Datang's current fleet, this speed is not fast, but it is not slow either.

When Joshua and the others boarded the deck again, the land in the distance was already a completely unfamiliar land.

The arrangements for these first batch of people are very simple. They will temporarily stay near the port here. Here they will temporarily learn Chinese and learn some basic rules. In addition, they will be assigned work every day.

The work is not tiring, mainly to build and expand the port terminal. Besides, the houses they live in have also been built long ago.

These houses are all built with wood and can only be described as simple barracks, arranged neatly side by side.One family, or five people, lives in a house.

However, their jobs will provide them with monthly money to travel to the Ellie Valley area after next spring.

The Ili River Valley covers a large area. It is not just Ili in later China. In fact, the entire Ili River Valley includes the entire Ili River Basin. From the birthplace of the Ili River in later China to Lake Balkhash in later generations, it all belongs to the Ili River Basin.

Because there is sufficient rainfall here, the entire river near it can become excellent farmland.

This is also the first area where Datang began to expand, and the first batch of slaves will also be placed in this place.

However, the main area they arranged was naturally to choose an uninhabited land for resettlement.
