In the Chengde Acropolis, rows of mud houses gradually took shape, and there were various workshops and shops, thousands of slave households in the city, and tens of thousands of people outside the city, and a town with a population of 100,000 gradually appeared in the northern region.

The Han, Xi, Bohai, and Khitan slave households in the city are now mainly building cities and fortifications, and in the future, most of them are cultivators, a few are artisans, and many households are craftsmen who were plundered by the Khitan.

However, unlike being a slave in the military state under the head of the Khitan nobles, as a slave of the Emperor Zhuang of Qi Tianzi, there was a rule that in the future, the cultivators would be rewarded with money according to the amount of grain handed over to the emperor, and the same was true for the artisan households.

Even in the present period of the construction of the city, each household also gave food and money.

Although the slave household is not allowed to save money, and the reward every month will be spent next month, and all kinds of shops in the imperial village are royal properties, which means that no matter how much the reward is, it must be returned to the royal family, but compared with before, life is simply heaven and earth.

Nowadays, in the teahouse and wine shop under the grass shed in the city, there are many farmers and craftsmen in the slave households, who are busy and idle, drinking tea foam, tasting inferior wine, and even inferior wine, but also using money to measure, a few days of reward to save up, one or two dollars, one or two dollars, one bite down, you can sit and brag for a day, and satisfy half a month's hunger.

It's a life they've never enjoyed in their entire lives.

Now, if you want them to be slaves for the Khitan, I am afraid that everyone will fight hard with knives and guns.

Yes, almost everyone in the militia group in Chengde Huangzhuang responded, where do these slave households still feel arrested?

Moreover, the Khitan money is expensive, not very good at minting money, and less copper, usually use the Central Plains copper money, because the coins are scarce, so the money is expensive, the same coin, in the Khitan and the desert north of the desert, the purchasing power is much higher than in the Central Plains.

The State of Qi, like the previous Central Plains dynasties, strictly forbade the outflow of copper coins. Therefore, the Central Plains merchants and Hu merchants traded with the Khitan, mostly bartering.

These slave households have seen more copper coins in just over a month than they have seen in a lifetime.

Even some craftsmen with a lot of labor or particularly good craftsmanship, many of them have the feeling of turning over to be a master.

Of course, the price of goods in the city is also frighteningly high compared with the Khitan land, which is frightening.

But in any case, from a real slave to a non-free farmer in the current Huangzhuang, that kind of situation is really hell to heaven.

In the Acropolis, divided into the inner village and the outer village, the inner village is building the castle with stones, the outer village, after all, was originally built, there is only one wooden building restaurant, of course, the guests it entertains are the officials of the royal management of the guard, the generals of the Beining army on rotation, the head of the emperor Wanyan Nu Department and so on. They are all people with a certain status.

Now, Lu Ning is also in the private room on the second floor of the "Chengde Restaurant", tasting the fragrant tea of the palace Tegong, and seeing the scene of Chengde Wei gradually becoming lively, he is extremely pleased.

Although building a city outside this pass is a large investment in the early stage, and the income must be slow, it is only from the perspective of political and military significance, it is also a blood gain, and as for the economic benefits in the future, there is no need to mention it.

Standing behind him were three Khitan beauties in purple and red maid robes, one was Yelu Guyu, one was Yelu Jiuge, and the other was Yelu and Classical.

Yelu Guyu was well-behaved and obedient, Lu Ning came to hang out in the acropolis, so he asked her to serve with him, and Yelu Jiu Brother was friendly with her, so he brought it out together.

A little worried, after Lu Ning saw Yelu Xianzhi yesterday, he led Yelu Xianzhi and Han Derang in the evening to go around the place where the horse was buried.

came back and walked around the barracks, and only returned to the sleeping tent until dawn, but then, I faintly felt that there was a slight gap between the eight maids in the tent, Yelu Guyu and them, especially the eldest sister Yelu and Classical, obviously took the lead in rejecting Yelu Guyu, although he did not dare to show it in front of himself, when he turned his back on himself, the kind of cold war can be imagined.

Lu Ning was slightly annoyed in his heart, and when he came out, he also named Yelu and the classical attendants.

Sitting and drinking tea, it suddenly occurred to me that I had eight Khitan clan maids, including three women and five girls and girls, and I had called out all three women today, but they were all young women, seventeen or eighteen years old, Yelu Jiuge, and even just fifteen.

Looking at the situation outside, Lu Ning suddenly said: "If the outside world of the Chu River can be forever and not disturb each other, what if the troops are stopped now?" I don't have to wipe out the Khitan country. He shook his fan and laughed at himself, "It's a pity!" It is for the sake of future generations, Liaobei and Liaodong, Monan and Mobei, thousands of miles, I also want to drive troops and wolves. ”

Yelu and the three classical daughters, their hearts are all in the same place, sure enough, this Nanren emperor has the heart of swallowing the Liaodi, and, in front of them, there is no need to hide his ambition at all, after all, the three of them are his trophies, and there will be no day to return to his homeland.

Even if Emperor Tianzan, or an unborn British lord in the clan, led the army to break this Chengdewei, but if it is said that it will break through the clouds again, there is little hope, let alone himself, who has been locked in Bianjing at that time.

Now if you want to say that your tribe can still go deep into the hinterland of the Central Plains and break through Bianjing, anyone who has seen the battle of the Qi army will not believe it at all.

If he really waits for the day when he returns to his homeland, I am afraid that the iron hooves of the emperor of the southerners who led the Qi army have already broken through the capital.

Thinking about it, the three daughters' hearts are even more gloomy.

Below, there was a sudden sound of gongs, dozens of militia soldiers, escorting several Khitan men to parade through the streets, and the regimental training soldiers who struck the gong in front shouted loudly.

However, a few Khitan slaves who tried to escape from the quarry were caught and sentenced to death, but they were handed over to the militia and used as a live target for the militia during the drill.

The crowd soon gathered around to watch the excitement, including children, and even threw stones at those Khitans.

The noisy crowd gradually reached the long street downstairs.

Suddenly, Yelu Jiuge's body trembled, and his pretty face immediately turned pale, but among the several Khitans who were about to be executed, the man with a bleeding head and a faltering step with obvious leg injuries was not her husband Yelu Haiqing?

It's just that she has never seen her husband so embarrassed, in her eyes, her husband has always been a big hero and a heroic and invincible warrior on the grassland.

Yelu Guyu also recognized Yelu Haiqing, she and Yelu Jiu Ge became acquainted because of their husband's friendship.

Lu Ning noticed the strangeness behind her, and a woman suddenly breathed rapidly, turned her head and saw Yelu Guyu and Yelu Jiuge's expressions, and asked, "Is there someone you know inside?" ”

Yelu Guyu barely mustered up his courage, "Yes, long live the lord, there is Yelu Haiqing, the husband of the ninth brother." He hurriedly said: "Brother Jiu and Yelu Haiqing were already in love, and after seeing the Lord Banzai, Brother Jiu privately told the slave that she didn't know when she would be favored by Grandpa, and she was looking forward to it." It's just that I never thought that I could see him today, so I was surprised, long live the Lord forgive my sins. ”

After having contact with this Nanren emperor, he felt that although he was terrible and terrible, he was not a moody tyrant, he had already seen something strange, and if he didn't say it, he was afraid that it would make him unhappy.

It was only after saying that Yelu Guyu realized that under his shock, the words he said were really groveling and completely spineless, as if he had been willing to be the plaything of the Nanren Emperor.

Yelu Jiu Ge had already knelt down with a puff, and wept and said: "Grandpa, slave, slave ,......" but she couldn't say it anymore for a while, she wanted to beg the Nanren Emperor to spare her husband's life, but when these words came out, she was afraid that her husband's fate would be even worse, as for what would happen if she made the Nanren Emperor unhappy, she didn't care at this time.

But if you follow the style of Yeluguyu's words and say those words that go against your will, you can't say it for a while.

Although he knew what he said, maybe the Nanren Emperor would be happy and forgive his husband.

But if she was forcibly occupied by the Nanren Emperor, there was no way, but she suddenly became a fox and said those disgusting words to please the Nanren Emperor, but it was not her character.

Lu Ning looked at Brother Yelu Jiu, and smiled slightly in his heart, but he didn't want to, these delicate braids and head shapes are somewhat similar to avant-garde girls in later generations, and the beautiful and cute young woman who is fifteen years old is quite chaste.

Of course, today's women are chaste, and it doesn't mean that they have to die if they are violated by people other than their husbands, especially for women in the north.

But if he really sent them to be camp prostitutes, thinking about it, these women would not be able to stand this incomparable humiliation and torture and would not want to live anymore, Yelu Jiuge, there is no doubt that they will be one of them.

"Okay, after all, you are the close servant who served me, and Yelu Haiqing's life will be left today, but only this time." As Lu Ning spoke, he shouted to the outside: "Send Yelu Haiqing, who is parading the streets below, back to the quarry." ”

Outside, Yan Ula answered, and there was the sound of a female guard coming downstairs.

Brother Yelu Jiu was stunned, immediately kowtowed, and sobbed: "Grandpa Xie, Grandpa Xie!" "The gratitude is beyond words.

Looking at this scene, Yelu and Classical sighed softly in their hearts, and thought, if the person who is going to be executed in the outside world is his husband, what should he do?
