King Hutu is a shareholder of Yumen City, as long as Yumen City is built, whether it is a merchant from the east or from the west, he will pay taxes, and he doesn't need to spend a penny to do this, let alone his soldiers, it can be said that the money is for nothing. The king of the pen and the pavilion www.biquge.info Xiu Tu naturally knew what Su Ren's purpose was in building the city here, even for the future of his Xiu Tu clan, he had to turn a blind eye, not to mention that there was money for nothing.

The war on the grassland is getting bigger and bigger, and the Yizhi Evil who once swore that he would be eliminated within three months to six months will be eliminated by King Shan and Youxian, is still fighting hard. Moreover, more and more tribes are involved in the war, and the flames of war have burned almost all over the grassland, and it may not be long before it will burn to him. In the past few months, every once in a while, there will be an envoy from the Yizhi evil to see the king of Hugh Tu, and it is a sentence over and over again, hoping that the king of Hugh Tu and the evil king of Hun will send troops, and promise a lot of benefits. King Hugh Tu is not stupid, at least he has to wait for the initial clarity of this war before making a move.

In order to avoid the envoy of Yizhi's evil, King Hutu stayed in Yumen for more than half a month, and the first thing he did when he got up every day was not to eat, but to go out quickly to see how much the wall of Yumen had increased today. At the beginning, he, like many people, thought that Su Ren's Jade Gate City would not be too big, at best it was a temporary town, and when he saw the construction technology of the Han people, he was inexplicably a little worried.

"One, two, three......" When he counted to the eighth layer, King Hutu didn't count, frowned and asked the guards: "They built eight layers overnight?" ”

The guard hurriedly said: "Yes, these people are working day and night, what do they say in three shifts, the villain doesn't understand, I see that there are always people resting in the camp, but the city wall is increasing all the time, I heard that they are competing these days, whoever has a good base, Mr. Su will reward each person with an additional gold coin." ”

King Hutu smiled: "This Su Ren is going to exhaust all these people to death!" However, I am afraid that we will never learn the ability of the Han people to build cities! Where is Su Ren today? ”

"Right on the construction site, he would work for two hours a day."

"The dignified general of the Han Dynasty can't figure out how to do such a vulgar job!"

After a hurried breakfast, King Hugh Tu led people to the construction site on horseback. The hot weather surprised King Hugh Tu, no one was lazy at the construction site of Nuoda, and there was no overseer with a whip to roar, everyone worked hard, he had never seen such a scene, even when he built a royal city for him, those guys in his tribe would be lazy, why not here?

Su Ren only wore a single coat, and his back was already soaked with sweat, which showed that Su Ren didn't come here to make a show, he was really working. No one made way for King Hutu's horses, and even a few people from the Western Regions pointed at them while working, and King Hutu's own soldiers immediately went up to give those people a few whips, but they were stopped by King Hugh Tu.

"Mr. Su got up early!" King Hutu dismounted and greeted Su Ren.

Su Ren wiped the sweat from his head and smiled: "How can you not contribute to building a city for yourself?" If you only look at it and don't do it, what face will you say that this city is mine? ”

King Hutu nodded: "Mr. Su is reasonable, but this king is still a little curious, how can there be no supervisor at such a large construction site?" ”

"Overseer?" Su Ren looked around, pulled over a half-grown man who came back from picking up stones, and asked, "How is it?" Tired or not? ”

At first glance, the child was from the Western Regions, with curly hair, dull eyes, and a high nose. The rattan frame on the back was filled with stones, all of which were the largest and strongest kinds, not the wind-milled rocks that could be found everywhere outside the city. The child shook his head at Su Ren and smiled: "I'm not tired, I've memorized three frames today, and the steward said that the stone I picked up was the best, and I gave it to the first class!" ”

"That's good! Put down the stone and rest, eat and work! ”

The child nodded with a smile and staggered away with the stone on his back. Su Ren pointed at the child and said, "Does the king know why he can still laugh when he does such a heavy job?" ”

King Hugh Tu shook his head. Su Ren said: "Three frames of first-class stones are worth a silver coin, this is still earned by him in the morning, in addition, working here with me can eat a full meal, is it full to eat, can eat a full meal and earn money with money, the king thinks they will be unhappy?" If you are happy to do your job, what do you want those fierce overseers to do? ”

King Hutu glanced at the construction site: "Mr. Su is going to give these laborers money?" ”

Su Ren nodded: "They are all recruited by me from Shanshan and Hami, they are not slaves or prisoners of war, since they have paid for their labor, why don't they pay them?" ”

"Isn't this city very valuable?!"

"It's really valuable, if you don't count anything else, it's about 300,000 gold coins to pay these people!" Su Ren sat on the stone basket on the side and took the water bowl handed by Manniu: "300,000 gold coins is a lot, right?" But I believe that this money will be earned back one day, and it will only be more and not less, as long as this Jade Gate City does not fall for a day, there will be unfinished taxes, why not do such a good thing? ”

"Is Mr. Su really going to stay in Yumen all the time?"

Su Ren shook his head: "I am from Chang'an, and I am also a Han person, and I will only stay in the land of the Han Dynasty, the king should understand!" ”

King Hutu nodded slightly: "Understood!" It seems that the Emperor of the Han Dynasty has a lot of appetite! I'm just afraid of my Huns......"

"Hehehe......" Su Ren smiled: "I don't know what Your Majesty thinks, as a courtier, just sit down and take care of your own affairs, isn't the king ready to help?" Half of you in this city! ”

King Hutu laughed and said, "Half of me!" Half of me, sort of! ”

When Su Ren and King Hutu came back sweating, lunch was ready to stop, the grain was transported from the Han land, so many people ate together and consumed too much, so Su Ren has been hoarding since entering the Western Regions, and also borrowed the relationship between Erma and King Hutu to buy a large number of livestock from Qiang and Xiongnu. Today's lunch is mutton.

The fat, oily pieces of meat are sandwiched in the dough, and it tastes delicious. Now that you have already done your work, there is no need to do anything special, the people on the construction site eat the same, and Su Ren and King Hutu are naturally no exception. Sweating makes people feel comfortable, King Hugh Tu has never been so comfortable as today in these years, a mouthful of meatloaf and a mouthful of fragrant tea, and the tea flavor removes the oiliness of the meat to complement each other.

A child came to Su Ren, saluted respectfully, and then took a piece of bread, sandwiched a piece of meat into it, and squatted outside the shed to eat like Su Ren. King Hutu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that this child was a little familiar, and hurriedly stepped forward to look at him: "Is it really you?" ”

Jin Riyan rolled his eyes and glanced at King Hutu and nodded: "It's me!" ”

King Hutu hurriedly handed the meatloaf to the guards behind him: "Your father has been looking for you for a long time, and he said ......."

Su Ren said: "This kid has a big life, he met us when he was dying, and he has been following him here, and now he is a student of our Han envoy, and the Han envoy has already sent an official document to my Han court, as long as the reply from the court arrives, he will be a Han person!" ”

"Han people! Mr. Su knows his ......"

Su Ren nodded and said, "Do you know, the son of the Evil King!" ”

"Then you still say that he is Han?"

"The king is surprised, we Han people are not just a race, anyone who wants to become a Han is a Han person, when the king wants to become a Han person, he can be promoted!"

King Hutu shook his head again and again: "This king is the descendant of the Heavenly Wolf God, and he will never ......"

"Don't say it so early, who knows what tomorrow will bring? What do you say, my lord? ”

Hugh Tu King's words came to his lips and swallowed them back. Looking at Jin Riyan and then at Su Ren, except for the slight difference in appearance, the rest are very similar, movements, speech, and even accents are somewhat similar. King Hutu no longer had the heart to eat meatloaf, and said to the guards beside him: "Immediately send someone to tell the Evil King that his son is no longer worthy to be the descendant of the Heavenly Wolf God!" ”

The guard agreed, turned around and walked out. Jin Riyan looked at the distant guard and glanced up at Su Ren. Su Ren smiled slightly, ate the meatloaf in his mouth in three or two clicks, and shouted loudly at the crowd who were still eating: "Today, General Ben is happy, and one more thing will be announced, when this Jade Gate City is repaired, all the generals who want to stay in Yumen have agreed!" ”

"Good! General Xie! There was a commotion in the crowd, and a few of them shouted in line with Su Ren.

King Hutu on the side saw clearly that there were both the Western Regions and the Qiang people, as well as their Huns. King Xiu Tu left angrily, he was not angry with Su Ren, but angry with those clansmen who had no heels and were instigated away by Su Ren with a few words. Most of the Huns who built a city in Hami came from his territory, and it can be said that they were all his people, and now they have been deceived by others, although they have to sulk a little to make up for it.

Su Ren looked at the back of King Hutu and smiled at Jin Riyan: "Eat!" Only when you are full can you have the strength to work, our city will be almost ten months in time, the outer city will be built, and the houses will be built, and some displaced people will be recruited in, so that it can be regarded as a complete city. ”

Jin Riyan took a big bite of the bread, nodded and said: "The teacher also said the same, there are people who are the city, and there are now three hundred and eighty households in Yumen City, each family is counted according to five people, that is, 1,900 people, whether it is the Western Regions or the Xiongnu, it is a big city!" ”

Su Ren touched Jin Riyan and smiled: "When you have the opportunity to go to Chang'an and see the prosperity of Chang'an, you won't feel that Yumen is a place anymore!" Don't be too short-sighted! ”

After chatting with Jin Riyan and eating three mutton patties, and drinking two pots of tea, Su Ren stretched his waist and stood up to move his sore back. The people working in the shed behind them had already finished eating, lying or standing in twos and threes and chatting. Some people only look for people of the same clan as them, while some people gather together in a disorderly manner, and although they still don't understand each other's words, it doesn't prevent them from smiling.

Pointing at those people, Su Ren said to Jin Riyan: "See, no matter what race stays together, you are a family, and when the documents of the imperial court arrive, you will be a Han person, and you don't have to bow your head in front of anyone, except for our emperor." ”

Jin Riyan smiled slightly, nodded solemnly, and Su Ren also smiled: "Okay, eat and drink enough, then prepare to work, there are still many things to do today!" ”
