As he was talking, Alun came over, Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "Now, I still have to think of ways to keep this talent, and I want Zhou Maocai to lose his wife and soldiers." ”

Chen Wenjun couldn't hold back his laughter.

Alun saluted Chen Wenhui respectfully, although Chen Wenhui is a little girl, but she is the master of the black family, besides, before leaving, the master Zhou Mao repeatedly instructed that Chen Wenhui must be treated like a teacher, so that when Alun comes back from Xinguang City, maybe he will be able to become the most knowledgeable person among the senior brothers.

This is a heart-warming goal, so as soon as he got on the ship, Alun took the initiative to consciously recruit a large number of guys, such as communicating with the captain and commanding the sailors, just like Chen Wenhui's housekeeper. Originally, these captains, sailors run outside all the year round, begging for a living at sea, are a little unruly, not very obedient to the command of the Chen family's guards, now that Alun has taken over these affairs, it has become much smoother, because these captains and sailors have lived in Feixia Port for generations and are under the jurisdiction of Heigetang, and now they originally managed Alun to manage them, they naturally did not dare to lose their temper, so from the beginning of the ship's loading before departure, these people were honest, so they could leave Feixia Port so quickly and start sailing. These Chen Wenhui are in his eyes, so he has a heart to accept this Alun.

At this moment, Chen Wenhui asked Aaron with a slight smile: "Aaron, which tribe are you from?" How many years have you been in the Black House in Black Iron City? Who else is in the family? How old are you, but do you have a wife? ”

The last two questions made Chen Wenjun almost unsteady, this sister is too strong, is this question asked by an eleven-year-old girl?

Alun was also a little stunned, but he still replied respectfully: "I am twenty years old this year, and I belong to the Half Moon Gorge tribe. I am the third son of the chief. I also have two older brothers, three older sisters, and one younger brother. The relationship between our Banyuexia tribe and the Black Iron City has always been very good, and our tribe is not far from the Black Iron City in a place called the Half Moon Gorge, and the tribe is named after the Chinese Canyon. With a population of more than 3,000, it is considered a medium-sized tribe. Our tribe grows grain in the basin between the mountains, and often picks some medicinal herbs and sells them to the alchemy hall of Black Iron City, and there are many warriors in our tribe. The best warriors in martial arts are all sergeants in the Black Iron Army in Black Iron City, and the rest are hunting in the nearby mountains, and there are many harvests, these prey, as well as the fish produced in the Half Moon Lake in the canyon, are taken to our tribe's shops in Black Iron City to sell, in exchange for the daily necessities such as salt, farm tools, hunting bows, and cloth needed by the tribe, so we can live there quite a bit. When I was five years old. My father brought me to Ilmetal to participate in the enrollment of Ilmetal. Of course, at the same time, many children from the tribe go together, and every year, the enrollment of students in Black Iron City is a big event, and we people in the tribe will take our children to take the test. I got lucky enough to pass the test. Entered the black family's calligraphy and painting hall to teach disciples. Where, because I have always been very good, when I participated in the big competition at the age of fifteen, I was favored by my master Zhou Maocai, and became his disciple, and at the age of eighteen, I was sent to the dock here to manage the affairs of the dock. Of course, I never got married. ”

Chen Wenhui was secretly happy in her heart. How good is this, there is finally a way to keep this person behind. Chen Wenhui nodded and asked, "Then after you came to the Hei family, have you ever gone back to your own clan?" ”

Arun said: "There are many indigenous disciples like me, and every year when we have the tribal festival, we are given a holiday to go home. By the way, our disciples of the Hei family have been paid monthly money since they were five years old. We learn as we go. On the one hand, they also make things, some sort and dry medicinal herbs, some make zuò utensils, some weave and embroider, and so on. We all have the same monthly money, but these jobs are counted separately. For example, when I was five years old, I couldn't do anything, I could only help feed pigs and raise sheep, such an easy job, the monthly income was less, but it was enough for my own expenses. Later, I learned more and more things, and people grew up a lot, and they did more and more work. I have done weaving, drying medicinal herbs, planting medicinal herbs, harvesting medicinal herbs, growing grain, growing sugar cane, etc., and I have also worked in paper mills, pen workshops and other places. Later, when I was ten years old, I was assigned to the Black Getang, and since then, I have been doing the work of the Black Getang, and then I followed the master, and the work in the master's hands is often handed over to us disciples to do. In this way, I get more and more monthly money, and after I am ten years old, I will not only have enough money for my own life and study, but also buy some gifts for everyone every time I return to the tribe, and leave some money for my father and grandmother. Later, I became a disciple of the master, I had less time, less time to go back, and more and more money, so I asked the shop of our tribe in Black Iron City to help me bring back the gifts I brought to my clan relatives, and send the remaining silver back to Abba and Grandma. So, although we have a lot of children in our family, we are all growing up very well, my brothers have married daughters-in-law, my sisters have married out, and last year, my youngest brother also got married. It's just that I didn't go back, I just brought them silver, because Feixia Port was too busy. ”

Chen Wenhui was very interested when she heard this, and said: "Speaking of which, the method of teaching disciples of this black family is quite scientific. Well, brother, I now know why the Hei family has so many places to make money, but it's not particularly rich, and it's so small, it turns out that there are a lot of places to spend money. ”

Chen Wenjun nodded and said, "After hearing what Alun said, I would like our children of the Chen clan to also participate in the enrollment of the Hei family." ”

Chen Wenhui said with a smile: "Where is the need to go all the way to the Black Iron City? Didn't the people in the calligraphy and painting hall say? They have no class to teach, and they have to return educational institutions everywhere, and we in Xinguang City provide them with a place for free and invite them to teach, and also, let them manage those students in the same way as they manage the children of the black family, it's a big deal that our Xinguang City will make up some silver. In this way, we can harvest countless talents, which is still very cost-effective. ”

Chen Wenjun nodded and said, "Well, without further ado, I'll start working on this matter when I go back." ”

Chen Wenhui turned her head and continued to ask Aaron: "Do you have so many brothers and sisters, are they all the same father and mother?" ”

Alun glanced at Chen Wenhui strangely and said: "Of course it is the same father and mother, even if there are three major families on our Yizhou Island, there are very few concubines, I heard that there are in the Central Plains, but we don't have them here." Especially for those of us indigenous tribes, we are even more monogamous, and most of them know each other before marriage, and when we reach the age of marriage, we will go to the mountains to compete in songs, and if we like each other, we will give gifts to each other, and then, the man's family will take the bride price to the woman's house to propose marriage. How could he marry a concubine? ”

Saying this, Chen Wenhui found that after being on Yizhou Island for so long, there are only a handful of concubines to see, and it is not nothing, but there are many fewer concubines everywhere than in the Central Plains, and there are even fewer cases in every family of official eunuchs. Thinking about it again, my brother said that there are very few concubines in the Chen family's land, and most of them are monogamous. It is also said that the same is true of several other family lands. It can be seen that these are all rules left by Fusu. But Fusu left such rules, but he himself stalled in the harem, and in the end, because of the palace struggle, his huge empire was buried, and I don't know if Fusu will regret it under Jiuquan.

Chen Wenhui then asked: "Then you haven't gotten married so late, did your parents urge you?" Your master won't help you find one? ”

Aaron smiled and said, "Since I entered the black family, my father and mother can't control me." They all knew that I would get married very late, so they didn't rush me. ”

Chen Wenhui was surprised: "Oh? Why is that? ”

Aaron said: "The people of our Hei family get married very late, for example, our current city lord only got married in his thirties. My master has just gotten married, and he hasn't been married for a few years. Although we are native, our grandmother is a descendant of the disciples of the Black Family, and she married into our family from Black Iron City, so my father and mother all know the rules of Black Iron City. Of course, they won't urge me to get married. ”

Chen Wenhui has been in contact with the Hei family for so long, but he knows that many of the three major families, as well as natives who married into the Hei family, or married disciples of the Hei family, and lived in Heitiecheng, but it is the first time that someone who marries into an indigenous tribe like this is the first time he has heard of it. He asked Aaron about his grandmother.

Alun talked to Chen Wenhui in detail, and Chen Wenhui knew that the Hei family is not a disciple of the parents, and the children are the disciples of the Hei family, and they must be tested, and those who pass Guò are qualified to become disciples, and those who can't pass become ordinary members of Black Iron City. These ordinary members make up the majority of the population of Iliron and various overseas strongholds. Most of them work in the workshops of the Black Family, under the jurisdiction of the disciples. The monthly money is definitely not comparable to that of the disciples, but it is enough to support the family. These ordinary people have more contact with the natives, the people of the three major families, and naturally there are many intermarriages, and Aaron's grandfather was very tall and handsome when he was young, and when he was doing business in Black Iron City, he captured the heart of Aaron's grandmother. Aaron's grandmother was the child of a disciple of the Black Family, and there were many brothers and sisters in the family, some of whom passed the test and became disciples, and many more who did not pass the test and became ordinary people. Aaron's grandmother worked as an embroiderer in a workshop in the beauty embroidery hall, and met Aaron's grandfather by accident, and began a passionate love, and finally, Aaron's grandfather came to the Black Iron City with gifts to ask for marriage, and finally married Aaron's grandmother. Because Aaron's grandmother was born in Black Iron City, she knew more about what was valuable and what was easy to sell in Black Iron City, and she also learned some simple medical skills from her parents who were disciples, so since Aaron's grandmother came to their tribe, the tribe has prospered day by day. Aaron's grandmother often talked to the children of the tribe about the Black Iron City, and as a result, many people in the tribe went to work in the Black Iron City, and the best ones like him became disciples and some became workers, and some became sergeants of the Black Iron Army.
