Chapter 7 What is the purpose?

said that it was to pick people, Luo Yi didn't pick much, but just called a few people from Alubai Village, after all, he only knew these people, and called a few others who looked very clever, Lu Kui had already chosen, and more than forty people walked to Alubai Village lightly.

Seeing that it was far away from the barracks, Lu Kui finally couldn't bear the question in his heart and said: "Young commander, what do you want me to do, won't it be some hard work, I'm a smart person, and the smart people you said shouldn't do hard work." ”

"Didn't I call you because you were smart? I also asked you to find a few clever ones, because only smart people can do this. ”

After receiving the compliment, Lu Kui said with a stinky smile: "Then it seems that I really have to do it, but what is the matter?" ”

Luo Yi said with a smile: "Reserve our new army military rations, in the past two days, you and a few brothers, first borrow the mules and horses that are not used in the mud green, white-faced mountain, Alubai, and cats and cats to occupy a few villages, and you can ask the clan grandfather for help in this matter."

Then go to where Ah Guo is, make good shoes, take them to exchange for food, and let a few brothers go to the eighteen villages, you have to go to other forces to change, how to change Ah Guo will tell you.

What do you think? It takes smart people to do this! ”

"Alas! I knew it was drudgery again."

"Bitter fart, after going back, the brothers who went out this time, each of them went to Ah Guo to get a pair of shoes, you think it is easy to find iron ore, if you don't worry about food, I really want you and me to find iron ore."

There is also our new army, from the day of the assembly, there is a monthly salary, the end of January, if you don't go, you can have money to pay your brother's military salary, the military rations that come, don't worry, just wait for me to come back. ”

"And the money? Say it early! I thought I was working as a coolie for you for nothing, and I was assured that I would do a good job, oh no, it was guaranteed to complete the task. ”

Huang Ling was curious, looking at these boys, how did they talk old-fashioned, could they all be influenced by Luo Yi, his father once said that he should not treat Luo Yi as an eight-year-old child, it seems that his father is right.

Luo Yi is different from ordinary children, although it is only the first time he has seen him, Huang Ling still feels that Luo Yi's temperament is at least not much different from his own, is this the demeanor of a hidden master?

Although the Gu clan is an adult at the age of twelve, they can still marry a wife, but in the eyes of Huang Ling, a Song person, they are really just children, and some still have runny noses, which should be like adults.

If Luo Yi knew Huang Ling's thoughts, he would probably give him a great contempt, he was still a virtual age at the age of sixteen, but he was already the father of a child, what qualifications did he have to say that others were children at the age of twelve.

Along the way, in Huang Ling's surprise, the silence of the old man hunting Menglu, and the joy of the young man hearing that he had money, he returned to Alubai Village, and led everyone to the place where the slave girls made shoes, and asked them to choose a pair of shoes that fit.

Now this is already a small shoe factory, more than 30 women come to work here in the village, the leather is well handled, it can be produced in a day, 100 pairs of shoes, Luo Yi asked several sisters to make various sizes of shoes, whether it is men's and women's shoes, they have made several styles.

The only deficiency is that the skins are not enough, and all kinds of small animal skins that the merchants in Shuzhong have looked down on in Alubai Village over the years are almost finished, so Lu Kui went out to exchange for food at the same time, he also had to change some animal skins, and it would be better if there were businessmen who came back with some salt.

As for the copper money, Luo Yi doesn't like it, and it's true that the money can't eat the materials, and the money used by the Vimo Ministry is the money of the Great Song Dynasty, and the money of the Great Song Kingdom is much more powerful than the dollar in later generations, and it is directly regarded as a common Asian currency, and each country does not have its own exclusive currency.

Luo Yi still likes bartering, mainly because there are not many people in Shibazhai who have money, plus they can't buy much if they have money, and no one sells what they want, in this case, of course, it is best to exchange what they don't need for materials.

Meng Lu and Huang Ling took a group of teenagers who got new shoes to arrange a place to live, and by the way, they prepared for the weapons and tools needed this time, Lu Kui also took his own people back to Lu's house to arrange, and the grass house finally quieted down, only the friction sound of women sparsely threading needles and threads.

Seeing that Luo Yi was idle, Ah Guo came over and sat down and said, "Forrest Gump, you are literate, why don't you help a few sisters marry a name!" As soon as I called my sister, they all looked at me, and if I had a name, it wouldn't be like that. ”

"Huh! It's not like you don't have a name yet."

"Why not, my name is Luo Guo"

"Luo Guo, Luo Guo is a good name"

"Dead Forrest Gump, can you help get it?"

"Okay, don't pinch it, I'll take it, I'll take it"

Luo Yi is also very helpless, ten female slaves, they used to have names, but these names are messy, Luo Yi has never called them, and Ah Guo doesn't like them, so he calls these female slaves sisters, and Ah Guo is too.

There is also the fact that in addition to the four female slaves of the clan grandfather who knew that they were servants, the remaining six, now Luo Yi didn't figure out what race it was, the main reason is that the current race is too different from the later generations, like the Gu clan and the later generations of the Zhuang clan There are too many similarities, Luo Yi can tell it.

The other races of the 'Rock Clan', the 'Tree Clan', and the 'Black Water Clan' have never been heard of by later generations, and it is estimated that they have long been integrated with other races in the long river of history.

Fortunately, the ten sisters in the family can all speak Chinese, and they can barely communicate, so it is still necessary to choose a name.

Luo Yi searched for the words in his head for a long time, but he still didn't know what to choose, he was a human being in two lives, and he really didn't do the job of choosing a name.

When Miss Ah Guo was about to get angry, Luo Yi only hurriedly said: "Chunxiang, Xia Xiang, Qiu Xiang, and Dongxiang, these four are from Grandpa's house, and the six of Mei, Blue, Bamboo, Chrysanthemum, Lotus, and Rong are from my uncle's family, and you can do it yourself to who you want to give these names." ”

"And what are their last names?"

"Stupid, in our Luo family, of course the surname is Luo"

The little girl who got the name happily ran in to name others, Luo Yi felt that it was very appropriate to give these female slaves such a name, they were all people with bad fate, and they were all fourteen or fifteen years younger.

Because she is a slave girl, she is definitely not there when she is older, but she is also a beautiful young woman, and if anyone wants to marry in the future, she will give Lao Tzu a dowry, this is a woman of the Luo family.

Two days of Baiyan Mountain, 20 miles away from Alubai, is also the most populous village in the 18 villages, there are 200 households settled in the Baiyan Mountain, plus it is also the only trading area of the 18 villages, and there are more than 400 soldiers stationed at the east entrance of the village, with a permanent population of more than 1,800 people.

Luo Yi is still here for the first time, but when he saw the familiar mountains and a few small lakes, he knew that this should be the Shuanglong Town in the future, and now it is called Baimian Mountain, probably because of the lonely cliff peak in the south of the village.

Huang Ling's home is in Baimian Mountain, which may also be the headquarters of the Eighteen Zhai forces, because Huang He is a Han Chinese, and the city and wall are carved into the bones.

Baimian Mountain has also built a city wall that is not too high, the enclosure is about five miles, and most of the houses in the village are Han style buildings, but they are all very dilapidated, and there are many thatched houses.

Although Alubai is full of bamboo buildings, there are still roof tiles, but thinking that the commander is his own father, Luo Yi also understands that the wealthier people in the eighteen villages should still be servants.

The other villages that are slightly richer are basically like the Huang family who have made great contributions to the unification of the eighteen villages in Luoxiong.

Huang Ling, as the landlord here, introduced the situation here to Luo Yi, because there is no output here, and there are very few merchants, only some small retail merchants bring a small amount of salt to trade here.

Baiyan Mountain is basically barter, merchants come from afar to bring less copper coins, there are things that look at the eye, generally will take the goods brought in exchange, only some food will be paid with copper coins.

Although the force is dilapidated, the copper money is still collected, and a large amount of copper money is needed to pay tribute to Dali in the year, or the force to buy materials outside.

The closer to the south of the village, the better the houses are repaired, but Luo Yi also saw some things he didn't like, and saw the figure of a few sisters in the family from the door of some mansions.

As a later generation, there is a natural antipathy to this kind of self-conscious person, and he is disgusted with this system, which is superior to others and is liked by everyone, but 'slaves' and people are no longer the same species.

From getting along with a few women in the family these days, I can feel that they are the kind of clothes from the bones, and the experience since childhood makes them dare not have a trace of resistance.

These days, as long as there is time, Luo Yi will try his best to enlighten a few women, and the effect is there, but this kind of servility will not be solved for a while and a half, Luo Yi also knows that he can't come in a hurry, so he can only take his time.

Huang Ling pointed to a house that was still some distance away and said: "That's my house, yesterday my father said, let us have breakfast in Baimian Mountain, now it is estimated that the meal is ready." ”

At this moment, a sturdy young man wearing rattan armor rode a blue and brown horse and rushed over, and a voice came from a long distance: "Is my cousin here?"

As soon as the words fell, Ma Ye came to him, and the sturdy young man smiled and said to Huang Ling: "Huang boy, are you also there?" ”

Huang Ling also smiled and said: "Luo Rong boy, I'm not younger than you, when did you come back, didn't you go to Adouzhai to be a village guard?" ”

"Alas! Don't mention it, Adouzhai, it's not that you don't know, you can't eat or sleep well, and you're not afraid that when those grandsons will call, don't talk about my cousin? Oh, I see. ”

"You're your cousin Forrest Gump! I'm your second brother, Luo Rong, Ah Guo told you about me, right? ”

Luo Yi was a little stunned, Ah Guo really didn't say it to himself, and Luo Xiong didn't say it either, but since Huang Ling knew him, it was really his cousin.

What Luo Yi didn't know was that Ah Guo and Luo Rong had only met a few times, after all, Luo Rong and his father, that is, Luo Xiong's younger brother Luo Ba, had been guarding the periphery of the Eighteen Villages, and Luo Rong's home was also in Baimian Mountain, and Ah Guo only knew that there was a second brother named Luo Rong, so he didn't tell Luo Yi.

After being stunned for a moment, Luo Yi said embarrassedly: "I didn't say it, where are you going, second brother?" ”

"Alas! It seems that the little girl forgot about me, come and pick you up, let's go! , Daddy and Uncle are still waiting for you to eat? ”

Luo Yi looked at Huang Ling, Huang Ling smiled and said, "Go!" , after eating the village east exit gathered".

"This is Huang Ling's house, this is my home", Luo Rong led the horse and Luo Yi side by side, saying as he walked, but after hearing Luo Rong say his house, he continued to walk forward, Luo Yi said suspiciously: "Second brother, where are we going?" ”

"you! Look, it's here. ”

My family, Luo Yi looked at this blue brick and green tile, standard Han style house, and couldn't believe it, on the eaves of the high gate, there were three big gold characters "Commander's Mansion", and there were two guards in front of the door.

Why can't Luo Yi connect this tall mansion with Alubai's bamboo building, this is his own home? My family is so rich, isn't Daddy very simple?

The two guards saw Luo Rong and said, "I've seen Luo Tongwei."

Luo Rong pointed at Luo Yi and said, "This is the young commander."

"I've seen the Young Commander"

Luo Yi didn't know how he got into the mansion gate, behind the mansion gate was a courtyard, and there were a few big trees by the courtyard wall, which were probably deliberately left when the house was built.

After passing through a stone path, entering a large mansion, and entering the door of the house, Luo Yi saw his father, and a man who was very similar to his father, and the two of them were looking at him with a smile.

"Uncle, Daddy, Forrest Gump is here."

Luo Xiong said with a smile: "Forrest Gump still doesn't say hello to your uncle." ”

Luo Yi finally came back to his senses and said, "Uncle Ba is good, Daddy is good." ”

Luo Ba said with a smile: "Yes, it's just that you've lost a little weight, and if you want to eat more, the man should be stronger." ”

Along the way, Luo Yi also saw a few servants, Luo Yi felt so naΓ―ve, in Alubai Village, he still thought that he had snatched a few female slaves from his uncle's family, thinking that he had dealt with the eighteen villages, and the last trace of bad things had been dealt with.

Now I realize that I am really too naΓ―ve, Dali is a slave monarchy country, and the Vimo Department is a real slave society, thinking that the other villages of Shibazhai will be like Alubai Village, there is no oppression, no slavery.

Now I know that my own thoughts are too ridiculous, how can there be no slaves in a slave den like Dali?

I thought of Luo Xiong too simply, how could a person who could be the commander not have a little wisdom, remembering that he had told him that the army must be trusted by someone to manage, is it funny that he has traveled through time, underestimating the ancients, and being self-righteous.

The maid served a good meal, Luo Yi ate absent-mindedly, he didn't know, he still wanted to really help the eighteen villages, and he didn't know if Luo Xiong really cared about his son, in this era, if someone asks what is the cheapest? The answer is definitely people.

If Luo Xiong wants to find someone to be his son, there is a chance, why did he accept himself as a son in less than a day after saving himself, all this is not normal, do you want to help find iron ore, Luo Yi is very frustrated and helpless.
