Chapter 142: Ren Zhong's Shock

After a few days of travel, Ren Zhong followed the army of Daqi to Chang'an City.

This was the first time he had come here since the destruction of the Great Qi Dynasty.

The majestic city appeared on the horizon in the distance, and Ren Zhong looked ahead, a look of surprise on his face.

I saw that on the river beach outside Sanshu City, a dense crowd of people was busy like ants.

Although the ice and snow are melting at this time, it is not a good time for farming, and the area of cultivated land is too real and exaggerated.

As far as the eye can see, there is no end in sight.

Although Ren Zhong knew that the Qi tribe had allocated land to ordinary people, the population of Qi City was not much, and the corresponding land was not much, but here, he was really shocked.

He had never heard of such extensive cultivation, and although the rest of the tribes also farmed, their main food source was grazing cattle and sheep.

And Daqi's cooking is obviously planning to make a living entirely from farming.

Ren Zhong felt that Yang Hao was confused, and doing so was tantamount to bringing about his own destruction, and decided in his heart that after seeing Yang Hao, he must admonish him.

After all, the rise and fall of Great Qi is also related to his fate.

As he got closer and closer to the city, Ren Zhong saw two big characters on the city gate.

"It's this weird square word again."

Ren Zhong muttered.

After reporting the number to the soldiers defending the city, the convoy drove into the city.

"Ren Zhong Shaojun, let's go and deliver the supplies first, the house in front is the residence of the household, just visit there, let's say goodbye!"

Ren Zhong said gratefully: "Thank you for taking care of you all the way!" ”

He waved his hand disapprovingly and said, "Then I will leave." ”

After saying that, he greeted the convoy and continued to go.

Ren Zhong stood on the street blankly with a few clansmen, not knowing where to go for a while.

"Shaojun, where should we go?"

One asked.

"Let's just go for a walk! Looking at what is different about Chang'an City in Daqi. ”

Since most of the civilians went to work outside the city, the city seemed a little deserted.

Except for the occasional soldier passing by, and a few children running around, it was rare to see an adult passing by.

This makes Ren Zhong's wanderers look a little eye-catching.

There is nothing special about the situation in Chang'an City, whether it is the scale or the buildings, it is not much different from the rest of the tribes.

Just when I was a little disappointed, I saw a few children playing a strange game.

I saw seven or eight children, each riding a stick, chasing each other, and from time to time making archery movements.

This caught Ren Zhong's attention.

A few runny children, when they saw these "gorgeous" people walking towards them, did not dare to continue playing, and their faces showed fear.

Ren Zhong saw the fear of these children, so he tried to make a kind appearance.

"Kid, come here!"

Instead of coming, several children became more frightened, and some of the younger ones, if not for the older children on the side, would have been crying profusely.

Seeing this, Ren Zhong scratched his head, untied the hemp pocket around his waist, and took out a fist-sized rice ball from it.

This kind of food is the marching food of Daqi, which is easy to carry, not only can it be eaten directly, but it can also be soaked in water, and it has a good taste.

Ren Zhong is very fond of this thing.

"Whoever comes, I'll give this to whomever I want!"

Looking at the food in Ren Zhong's hands, several children stretched their necks and kept swallowing their saliva.

A younger boy was about to pass over when he was dragged by another child.

The little boy said aggrievedly: "Big brother, I'm hungry!" ”

Hearing this, the eldest child comforted a few words, looked at Ren Zhong, and said nervously, "Will you really give us that food?" ”

Ren Zhong smiled: "Of course, you only need to answer a few of me." Question, this thing is yours. ”

The boy hesitated, handed the little boy to his companion on the side, and walked towards Ren Zhong with courage.

"You... What do you want to ask? ”

Ren Zhong smiled and said, "What were you guys playing just now?" ”

"Fight on horseback! A game that the children of Chang'an City will have. ”

"Then who taught you to fight on horseback?"

"No one taught us, after Daqi came here, there were often soldiers on horseback who trained outside the city, very majestic, and we also wanted to ride, but we couldn't join the army, we couldn't ride horses, we could only use branches instead of horses."

"How are those soldiers on horseback?"

The boy thought for a moment and said, "A lot! The horses ran over, and the ground seemed to collapse, which was scary. ”

Ren Zhong was shocked when he heard this, he knew about the cavalry, and he also made some riding bows according to Yang Hao's request.

It's just that he didn't expect that the Sanqi had just been destroyed for so long, and in the face of the conquerors, these Sanshu people actually did not resist, but were full of good feelings towards Daqi, which made him feel a kind of fear.

If it is changed to other tribes, how strong can it be compared to Sanshu.

If this kid didn't lie, Ren Zhong knew very well that the army of Great Qi must have grown again.

Thinking of the sight of a group of cavalry roaring in, Ren Zhong shuddered, such a great Qi was already full-fledged, and if he wanted to destroy it, he couldn't think of how many troops he would use.

The boy in front of the meeting looked directly at the food in his hand.

Ren Zhong sighed and said, "Take it!" ”

The boy took the dry rice ball nervously, thanked Ren Zhong again and again, and quickly ran to his little friend.

"Big brother, I'm hungry!"

"This can't be eaten, we'll exchange it for copper coins in a while, and the eldest brother will buy you rice to eat, it's more than this."

The little boy pursed his lips and stared at the rice ball, and the tax deductions were about to flow out.

When Ren Zhong heard this, he asked, "What is a copper coin?" ”

The boy looked at Ren Zhong suspiciously, and immediately became vigilant and said, "You are not a noble person of Daqi.?" How do you not know about copper coins? ”

"I'm from Qicheng, this copper coin is the first time I've heard of it, can the little brother explain it to a certain one."

"Are you from Qicheng? The chief's tribe? ”

The boy excited.

Ren Zhongdao: "Have you heard of Qi Cheng? ”

An ordinary child actually knew about Qi Cheng, which surprised Ren Zhong.

The boy nodded and said: "Of course I know Qicheng, I not only know Qicheng, I also know that the leader used to be a slave, my mother said that if there is no leader, I will be a slave when I grow up, everyone is grateful to the leader, and the adults also say that Qicheng is a holy place and a place favored by the gods." ”

Ren Zhong was shocked when he heard this.

"Daqi is so popular, how is this possible."

"Noble?"

Seeing that Ren Zhong had been staring at him, the boy was a little afraid.

Ren Zhong came back to his senses and said, "What about the copper coins?" ”

The boy said, "I haven't seen copper coins, only those soldiers have copper coins, but as long as you have copper coins, you can go to the shops in the city to change things." ”

"Shop for something?"

Ren Zhong was a little puzzled.

"It's just to change things, there are a lot of things in the shop, there is food, there is cloth, anyway, there is a lot, the food given by the nobles, as long as it is exchanged for copper coins, I can buy a lot of rice, and my younger brother and I can eat enough."
