Out of Ma Da Bangzi's house, he led the way and walked a few steps to another yard, the same rough and primitive, compared to Ma Da Bang's house, the house in this house is not so warm.

I didn't burn the fire pit, only the kang.

There were six or seven men and women on the kang, and when they saw Ma Da Stick bringing people in, a panicked look flashed in their eyes.

"Tun Chief, my brother, they will leave in a while."

A Goguryeo woman with a straight stomach said to Ma Da Stick in not very proficient Chinese.

Ma Da Bangzi said, "It's okay, I'm not here to catch them, this is our handsome, I came to see you today." ”

The woman looked at Luo Cheng, and for a while she didn't understand what the handsome man represented.

Kan Ling glared angrily, snorted coldly, and the frightened woman wanted to kneel directly.

Luo Cheng stepped forward to support her, then turned to Kan Ling and said, "Your bravery should not be used on such an occasion. ”

Then he said to the woman, "I am Luo Cheng, who stayed in Liaodong, and I came to see you today." ”

The woman finally understood who the man in front of her was, it was actually a man called the king of Liaodong by their Goguryeo slaves, and she was about to kneel down again, and she even asked her brothers to kneel together.

"It doesn't have to be like this, just sit on the kang."

The woman's belly bulged, saying that she had been pregnant for almost five months, she looked very young, less than twenty, her face was a little pale, but it was okay, not too thin.

The men and women on the kang are the family members of this woman outside the tun, their houses outside the tun are not better than here, most of them are semi-underground shacks, it is much colder in winter, and they have less food, and they are in a state of semi-starvation every day.

However, according to the regulations, all slaves were not allowed to stay overnight in the cantonment, and even if they entered and exited, they had to be registered and permitted, and they were not allowed to carry iron tools.

"Dashuai, this woman's name is Ada, her man is Hu Lu from Longyou, we all call him Hulu'er. Hulu'er is a government soldier in his thirties, and he didn't take Ada away when he left, saying that he has all his grandchildren, and if he takes a Goguryeo concubine back, he will be said, and it is a long way to go to Longyou, and it is inconvenient to bring a Goguryeo woman. ”

Anyway, Hu Lu left, leaving behind this young Goguryeo concubine Ada. The military land and Xuntian that he originally divided in this tun were all taken back by the military government, and the military government gave him a sum of money as a little compensation.

His house, in fact, is a wooden house, which is still lived by Ada, and when he left, he left some food for Ada, which is considered to be the end of it.

"Hulu'er didn't know that this daughter was pregnant when she left, otherwise she might have taken her back."

Although the government soldiers like Ma Dabang and them have no food to receive, after all, everyone who has been rewarded with spoils in the previous war has savings in hand and has stored food for the winter early.

And Ada has no husband who is a soldier, but there is no source of life.

Even her family outside the tun is now difficult for her to help, after all, she is also living on help now.

In fact, her family came to see her today, all to persuade her to find another Sui army soldier to marry, even if she can't marry a government soldier, she can marry a family member who migrated from the government soldier.

After all, they are now slaves, and if they marry the government soldiers, they can become tenant farmers of the government soldiers.

Originally, they were Hulu'er's tenant farmers, but Hulu'er left, his land was taken back, and the family became landless.

Luo Cheng nodded as he listened.

Now Liaodong, in fact, the social class structure is very simple, under his deliberate leadership, there are now two types of people in Liaodong, one is the Sui army soldiers and their families, and the other is the Goguryeo slaves and the exiled Central Plains rebels and their families.

The soldiers of the government are now all divided into fields and granted land, and all of them are landlords, and even their families have enjoyed good treatment and have been allocated land.

But those Goguryeo people and exiled sinners were much more miserable, they were all slaves or sinners, although they were not private slaves, but they were also official slaves, with no land, no land, no houses, no property.

Luo Cheng can be regarded as finding a way out for them, being a tenant farmer of the government soldiers and landlords is much better than being a serf directly, and after the tenant land is cultivated and the rent is finally paid, he can still have his own surplus and can live.

But they had to depend on the landlord to survive.

Especially in Liaodong, under Luo Cheng's design, these Goguryeo people or sinners lived together as a family unit, but there had to be a woman in the family who married the soldiers and landlords as concubines, whether it was an unmarried girl to marry, or a widow to marry, even if a husband remarried to the soldiers as concubines, in short, if they wanted to change from slaves to tenant farmers, they had to have family members to make concubines for the soldiers and complete the binding procedure, so it was okay.

Luo Cheng did this, in fact, in order to turn these soldiers into landlords in Liaodong, and even his semi-feudal knights, so that these soldiers could tie up with Liaodong with land, and he was the guarantor of this system, so that these Liaodong soldiers and landlords would fully support him.

To put it bluntly, Luo Cheng just wants to tell all the soldiers that these good days you can live today are all given to you by Luo Cheng, so you also have to support me, I Luo Cheng protects your interests, and you protect my status, complementing each other.

As for the exiled criminals or Goguryeo slaves, they were the bottom of the government and soldiers, after all, although Liaodong was large, it could not achieve socialism, and the pyramid was the most stable structure.

Because of this, Hulu'er is gone, and this woman named Ada is not qualified to inherit Hulu'er's land, even if Hulu'er is willing to give it to her.

The people go, the ground reaps.

Even Hulu'er's simple wooden house can only be temporarily lived in by Ada, and if he remarries, the house will no longer belong to her.

As for Ada's family, they can only take the opportunity to visit Ada to come here to bake a fire and eat a dry meal, and before dusk, they have to leave and return to their own shack outside the tun.

"Ada, what are you going to do with the child in your womb after birth?"

Ada was a little confused, although she also hated the man Hulu'er, who was already a little strange, but the child in her belly was also her own meat after all.

But if you are born, how do you raise it?

Today, her father and brothers persuaded her to find a way to get rid of the child and then marry a Sui man, so that not only will Ada have security in the future, but their family can continue to become tenant farmers in the future, instead of being a lonely ghost without an owner now.

"I don't know." Ada Road.

"Ada, now I have two options for you. First, you can give birth to the child and raise it yourself, and the Stay-behind Mansion will give you some food subsidies every year until the child grows up. Alternatively, you can give the child to the Left-behind House after it is born. We will raise this child for you and Hulu'er, and he will grow up and become an adult in the camp. ”

"Can I get rid of this child?" Ada asked.

Luo Cheng shook his head.

"No, this child doesn't belong to you alone, he is also a citizen of my Great Sui, and a common man under the rule of my Liaodong Left-behind Mansion, since he is pregnant, you can't strangle him, you can not raise him, but you can't not give birth."

Luo Cheng said directly that population is very important for today's Liaodong.

"So what do I do? What about my family? ”

"If you are willing to remarry, the left-behind government will arrange it, and as for your family, of course, you will be with you, and whoever you marry will be arranged to be a tenant farmer."

"If you don't want to marry now, you can also wait until the child is born, or wait until the child is one year old, before that, you and the child will be taken care of by the left-behind government, and money and food will be distributed to you every month, as for your family, they will also arrange for them to share the public land of the government."

Luo Cheng put forward these choices, Ada listened very carefully, and if there was something he didn't understand, he deliberately asked again and again.

In the end, she decided to give birth to the child here, and then raise the child until it was one year old, and then hand it over to the Left-behind Mansion.

Finally, Ada asked a question.

"Will I ever see this kid again?"
