After a simple distribution, all the orc captives were placed in the quarantine area, where they had to live for ten days, which was equivalent to some kind of livestock quarantine.
During these ten days, they must learn to take a bath, clean off the fleas on their bodies, take good care of themselves, and try to tidy up into a human form.
Yes, this world is not exempt from vulgarity after all. It is still a world where faces are judged: the ugliness of orc men is generally recognized, and the beauty and enchantment of orc women are also well-known.
In comparison, there is no problem for orc women to integrate into human society. Who is not a furry control, and who doesn't like cat-eared girls?
However, it can be said that it is very difficult for an orc man to become famous in the human world.
First of all, you have to be reasonably good-looking: a mouth full of fangs must be symmetrical, right? It can't be that everything is cavities, right? There can't be scars on the face, right? You can't smile like a serial killer, right?
Whether the eyes are big enough, whether they are symmetrical, whether there is decent hair, whether there are any bad customs and habits in the past... these can all determine the fate of a Tang orc slave.
"If I had known better, I wouldn't have put a lip ring on my lips." An orc complained depressedly. At that time, he never thought that one day he would be able to participate in a "beauty contest" in the human world.
In the difficult environment of the orcs, many people often carry all their wealth on their bodies, such as rings or bracelets, earrings, necklaces, lip rings, and nose rings...
While the orc was complaining, in the long queue on the other side, the orcs taking the written test were also very nervous. They are literate top students and "reserve talents" who can be selected to participate in orc labor management.
These orcs are all literate, can use human writing, and can at least perform simple calculations. This is the second selection criterion: you must have some culture.
Well, if you happen to look very much in line with human aesthetics, and you happen to be able to write human words, and you have a wife and two children... Congratulations, you are the most promising one among this group of orc workers. Awesome.
Why choose someone with a wife and children? Because people with families are more stable and easier to train and control. At the same time, improving the living conditions of the next generation and providing benefits such as teaching can also make these orcs more willing to cooperate with the Tang Empire.
Through this selection, those orcs suitable for promotion are selected, and then a solid management framework can be established to start using these orcs.
After being forced to take deworming pills, take baths, wear new clothes, and live in new houses, these orcs began to believe that they had indeed arrived at the resting place of their souls.
Especially after they had their first hot meal, almost no one among them wanted to go back to Steel Fist Fortress and live their old days.
They never dreamed that the rice here could be eaten as much as they wanted. In order for them to enjoy their meal, they even had pickles! Those are pickles pickled with salt! That is precious salt!
】
For these orcs who can eat two mouthfuls of rice by licking one stone and taking advantage of the salty smell, this meal is simply a gift from the beast god.
Seeing that this group of people was actually moved, with a look like "Please let me work quickly, otherwise I won't be able to enjoy this meal satisfactorily." The officials of the Tang State knew that this group of orcs had almost been subdued.
Soon they will be put into the construction of Fengjiang. After they become familiar with it, they will be dispersed and sent to other places in the Tang Kingdom.
Together with the remaining goblin slaves, they will build the Tang Empire's railways, highways, high-rise buildings, and ports.
These orcs would witness the prosperity of the Tang Empire with their own eyes and build a powerful empire with their own hands. Of course, what they don't know yet is that this empire will also save them and let them live a happy life where they can eat meat for every meal.
…
"I lost again! I'm so damn..." He pinched the sports newspaper in his hand and cursed with a depressed expression.
His Tang Empire was invincible, and it was difficult to find an opponent in any field. But there was only one thing where he was always full of hope but had to despair again and again.
Seeing Tang Mo's annoyed look, You Lin, who knew what was going on without even looking, smiled and said while eating breakfast: "Your Majesty, shouldn't you have been mentally prepared for this kind of thing a long time ago?"
Even so, Tang Mo was still very unwilling: "Although I know...but, can't we win?"
"There is no way, our football is... still not good after all." Even people like Alice who never care about sports events know that in last night's quarterfinals match, the Tang Empire men's football team... went home again.
This is the first Football World Cup to be held after the war, and the host country is of course the Tang Empire. In this matter, Tang Mo is a typical representative of the kind who is both good and fun-loving.
In order to encourage the players and expand the influence of the event, Tang Guo gave 2 million gold coins as a reward. After hearing about this, all countries sent their own football teams to participate.
The hosts were somewhat taken care of. After the draw, the Tang Empire football team was placed in Group 3, perfectly avoiding the teams that were already strong before the war.
For example, Dorne won the championship the year before last, but the Tang Empire was eliminated in the group stage that year. The Yangmu team won the championship the year before last. The Elf's elegant and changeable cooperation shone brightly that year. Unsurprisingly, the Datang Football Team was also eliminated in the group stage.
The Tang Kingdom holds a World Cup every year, which is four times more frequent than the World Cup on Earth. But five World Cups have passed, and Tang Guo has not been able to do it even once in the group.
In desperation, Tang State played a little trick this time: the results of the three groups of draws were: Tang State, Mirage State and Ice Empire were grouped together.
These three teams were all sent home in the first round of the group stage in previous years, but this time they were finally grouped together.
The result was that in the opening match, the Tang Dynasty defeated the Mirage National Team. A group of strong men with an average height of 1.8 meters bullied the goblins with an average height of less than 1.5 meters. There was nothing to show off in a 5-0 victory.
Then there was a problem. The Datang team still performed stably and lost to the Ice Empire in the competition for first place in the group. Although the Dwarves were not very tall and their headers were a little weak, they were solid in the bottom set. His footwork is outstanding and he will have no problem handling the Tang Empire team.
Then it was a complete tragedy. The second place in Group 3 faced the first place in Group 4 in the quarterfinals. As a result, the Datang Football Team was beaten 3-0 by the Yangmu Empire, which was in full swing. Unfortunately, it stopped in the quarterfinals.
The Chu team, which was originally left to the Tang Dynasty, was beaten 2-0 by the dwarves and went home. The Ice Empire team made a historic breakthrough and entered the semi-finals...
"If it doesn't work, let Marquis Bailu coach..." You Lin gave his own suggestion: After all, the strength of the Bailu Club team is obvious to all.
"Sigh..." Tang Mo felt that it was very embarrassing to hire someone to coach his team: they named the best trainer, the best nutritionist, and even had sea cucumbers with every meal, but they were still a bunch of people. The soft-footed shrimp in the arena.
"It really doesn't work...how many orcs should we replace?" Le'er, who had been dealing with orc labor matters recently, said on a whim.
Anyway, there must be some among those strong workers who can play football. After a few days of training, the results will probably be more reliable than those of the current Tang players.
Isn't it a victory? When there were no muskets, the orcs formed heavy infantry with an average height of nearly 1.9 meters. They were also world-famous for their strong combat power.
Compared with physical strength, the orcs still have a slight advantage. At least those orcs have strong muscles and won't lift their uniforms to reveal a fat, white belly.
To be honest, forming an orc football team would definitely be a dimension-reducing blow to other countries, especially the dwarves and goblins...the orcs' physique is simply a nightmare for them.
It's a pity that Tang Mo still rejected Leer's kindness: "What's the point of looking for an orc player? If you really do this, it will be really embarrassing and sent to grandma's house."
He doesn't want to win the World Cup when the Tang Men's Football Team is composed of eleven green-faced orcs with fangs... Even if he doesn't want to be at the bottom, he can't imitate the White Flag Empire!
Rather than finding a group of orcs as foreign aid, Tang Mo would rather find Marquis Egret to be the head coach of his national team.
"I hope Sir Egret can bring something different to my team." Tang Mo, who had made up his mind to go to Egret Marquis, muttered something and then put down the wrinkled newspaper in his hand and picked up the paper in front of him. water glass.
It has been almost a month since he quit smoking, and Tang Mo, a long-time smoker, really feels worse than death now. Wes, who was standing next to him, looked as depressed as if he had lost the money.
It was a tragedy for Tang Mo that the man who invented cigarettes couldn't smoke. Every time he subconsciously reached for his pocket, he seemed to have lost a part of his soul.
Every time they saw Tang Mo subconsciously touching his pockets, the three imperial concubines would hold back their smiles. It is a happy thing for a woman to see her beloved man make changes for her.
However, smart women will learn to exercise moderation. They know that this kind of change is precious and cannot be taken easily.
"Alas..." Tang Mo, who didn't touch the cigarette case, deliberately showed his depression. This was also his way of flirting with the three women. This is a form of pampering that will increase the happiness of the entire family.
The eldest son Tang Yu was very sensible. He took out the lollipop in his pocket and handed it to Tang Mo. Everyone laughed together, and it was so warm that others envied it.
