Like the previous Yiqu, Beijun was nearly twice as large as it was when the Yiqu King was in power, and the herdsmen who lived on the grasslands around Beijun moved their homes to the city. Now there are more than 200,000 people settled in the city of Beijun, which can be said to be the most populous city in Qin, and it can pay a tax of 10,000 taels of gold for Qin every year.

Meng Tian and his wife arrived in Beijun, and Han Jin, as the county guard, personally prepared a residence for them, which Han Jin spent a lot of effort to purchase, originally to give him a good woman. Now that Meng Tian said that he wanted to live in Beijun for a while, Han Jin was not good at placing the red man in front of King Qin in the post house, so he said that he tried his best to let his confidante move out first and let Meng Tian live in the house.

Meng Tian and Zi Yanran arrived at the residence arranged by Han Jin, looking at this mansion with Qin style, Meng Tian couldn't imagine that there was such a place in this northern county town.

"Lord Han, it's really hard for you to prepare this place for me, Meng Tian has thanked you. Looking at the brand-new tea sets, tables and chairs in the room, Meng Tian said to Han Jin.

Han Jin stood on the side behind Meng Tian, and Meng Tian said respectfully: "General Meng is polite, the lower officials can guard one side here, and it is also thanks to the general's planning. It's a pity that the general left in a hurry last time, and Xiaguan couldn't treat the general well, so this time the general said that he would stay in Beijun for a while, so Xiaguan specially prepared this place for the general. ”

Meng Tian and Han Jin sat down, Meng Tian said: "Actually, I came this time mainly to accompany my wife, and my adults also know that my wife has not come back since she followed me to Xianyang, and this time he gave birth to a son for my Meng family, so I want to take her back to see her father." So this time, I'm just out to have fun, and adults don't have to pay too much attention to my arrival. ”

Han Jin was on the side, yes, yes, but he didn't dare to slack off on Meng Tian. In fact, it is not easy for Han Jin to become the county guard of Beijun, Meng Tian's father-in-law Ziming is his deputy, the county commander of Beijun. With such a son-in-law of Niu Cha, Han Jin has always been respectful to his deputy, and he does not pose as a superior at all. In addition, most of the officials in the county guard mansion were originally under Zi Mingdu, and these people were also dissatisfied with Han Jin becoming the county guard, and they had always been good to his orders, and they were willing to carry out them silently only if Zi Ming said it. Later, everyone slowly recognized Han Jin's ability, and Beijun did not have any major chaos under Han Jin's management, and Han Jin's life gradually improved.

Of course, it was impossible for Han Jin to complain to Meng Tian about these things, he just said: "General Meng has made a lot of achievements for my Qin State in the past few years, although Xia Guan is located in the north, but the general's prestige is still like thunder. The general lives here, and here are the subordinates and nurses I have placed for the general, and they are very experienced in taking care of the wife and children, so please rest assured. ”

"I'm tired. When I return to Xianyang, I will definitely speak a lot of good words for my lord in front of the king. Han Jin's mind Meng Tian didn't know, and he was happy to accept this favor.

Han Jin hurriedly stood up and saluted Meng Tian, "Thank you, General." ”

Sending Han Jin away, Meng Tian came to the inner room, where Zi Yanran sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her son sleeping soundly on the bed, and next to Han Jin stood the wet nurse and maid arranged by Han Jin.

"Tianci is asleep?" Meng Tian said.

Zi Yanran hurriedly asked Meng Tian to shut her mouth, "Be quiet, just put your son to sleep, and your opening almost woke him up again." ”

Meng Tian cautiously, tiptoed to the side of the bed, looked at his sleeping son, and nodded with satisfaction. "This kid is not like me, my mother said that when I was a child, I couldn't wake up when I fell asleep and thundered. ”

"You also said that even an adult can't stand the tiring journey along the way, let alone such a young child. Zi Yanran rolled her eyes and said to Meng Tian.

"Yes, general, the little boy finally fell asleep, he was jubilant just now, according to the slave maid, when he grows up, he must also be a big general who dances knives and guns. The young maid standing aside said.

Meng Tian looked at the nurse and maid standing aside, and he said, "I'm going to trouble you these days, don't worry, as long as you do your best, I will definitely not treat you badly." ”

"General Xie. The nurse and the maid knelt down and said.

Meng Tian asked the two of them to get up, and he said to Zi Yanran: "Give the child to the two of them, father just said that he has prepared wine and food, let us go over and eat with them." ”

Zi Yanran nodded, reluctantly took her eyes off her son's face, and then changed her clothes and followed Meng Tian out of the door.

After the establishment of the county in the northern county, the county guard only lived in Han Jin himself, and Zi Mingdu and Abra both lived outside, but the two brothers still lived together. Their place was a bit far from the place where Meng Tian and the others lived, and it was a little early anyway, so Meng Tian and Zi Yanran decided to walk there.

Beijun is really much more prosperous than before, and the businesses on the street were all opened by the Yiqu people themselves, and there were mostly tents on both sides of the road. Nowadays, tents are rarely seen on the streets, and the occasional tent is temporary. Brick and wood houses have been built on both sides like other places, and the merchants have also changed from Yiqu people to Semu people, Hu people, Qin people, etc., selling things from outside the Western Regions to all parts of the Central Plains.

Meng Tian and Zi Yanran were walking on the road, Zi Yanran's mood was obviously much better than when she was in Xianyang, and she couldn't put down many gadgets placed in the shops on the street.

In this way, the two of them stopped and stopped all the way, looking at the little girl's mentality that his wife suddenly revealed, Meng Tian was happy and sad in his heart,

I'm glad to see Zi Yanran so happy, I really ignored her feelings by patronizing and leading troops to fight all these years. What made him sad was the fact that Zi Yanran was dying soon, although Zi Yanran's spirit was much better these days than before, but Meng Tian knew that this was all pretended by her, maybe she didn't want to worry about him.

The two of them were walking and walking, and when they passed by the door of a shop, someone suddenly called Meng Tian's name.

Meng Tian heard clearly in the noisy bazaar, someone was shouting to him, he took Zi Yanran's hand, and then looked around.

Zi Yanran wondered why her man suddenly stopped, and looked around again, and she also looked around.

"General Meng, it's me. A blond-haired, blue-eyed, high-nosed man from the Western Regions stood in front of Meng Tian.

"You...... Are you?" Meng Tian asked, a little unfamiliar with the arrival of the foreign man in front of him.

"I, I, Mulito, you saved us in Xianyang City and from the grassland. The man introduced himself.

The man said his name, and Meng Tian suddenly realized, it turned out to be him, this Loulan man who loves to do business, he was able to meet Zi Yanran thanks to this person, this Mu Lituo can be regarded as his matchmaker with Zi Yanran.

"It's you, Murito. Why are you here?" Meng Tian remembered and asked Mu Lituo.

Mu Lituo was very surprised and surprised to see the benefactor who had saved him twice. "I fled here, I heard you were here, so I came here, came here to do business, but I have been here for so many years, and I finally met you. ”

Mu Lituo saw the woman holding hands with Meng Tian, "Oh, you are the female robber. Oh no, no, forgive me for my recklessness, Madame Monte. ”

Zi Yanran smiled and nodded at Mu Lituo, but did not speak.

Mu Lituo took Meng Tian's arm and walked to his shop, and said as he walked: "General Meng, we didn't have time to thank you properly last time, and when we meet you today, you must stay and let us have a good drink." ”

Unable to stand Mu Lituo's enthusiasm, Meng Tian looked at Zi Yanran. Zi Yanran didn't expect this Mu Lituo to be so enthusiastic, she nodded helplessly, and the two of them followed Mu Lituo into Mu Lituo's shop.

Business in Mulit is not bad, and there are several people in the shop picking up things. Mu Lituo pulled Meng Tian and his wife into the store, and said loudly: "My dear, business is not done today, I want to entertain our distinguished guests, quickly clean up." After saying that, Mu Li said to the customers who were picking things: "A few guests, you can just take what you like, I am happy today, and I will not take your money." ”

Those few customers who picked things didn't expect to encounter such a good thing, so they picked a few things they liked and left immediately.
