"Exactly, I learned from the book that there are Xiongnu and Xianbei in the north of my dynasty. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info there are Qiang and Di in the west. I heard that the Hu people are good at herding, have been weathered for a long time, have a very hard body, and are good at the way of horses, and now I want to go to Juntun often to deal with agricultural affairs, and I need a carriage and a driver. ”

"The Xiongnu and Xianbei are indeed good at the way of horses, as for the Qiang and Di tribes, most of them are in the northwest, and the servants don't know. In the city market outside my Xu capital, there are often merchants who bring some Hu slaves to sell, and there are many Xianbei and Huns. Those who are in good health or should have the same value as the beautiful maid, with a difference of 20,000 yuan and a good 30,000 yuan. ”

"When the bounty comes, you will go and choose a young man of eight or nine years old for me, Hu Nu, who will be in good health.........

As soon as Cao Pi finished speaking, Hui'er came to inform him that a middle-aged person from Huangmen Temple was waiting in the main hall for his son to receive the reward from the Son of Heaven. Cao Pi immediately came to the main hall to receive the reward. The people of Huangmen Temple are eunuchs, and they have not studied too much about the eunuchs' clothes, but the materials of this person's clothes are all good silk silk, and the white silk inside is also of the highest quality, so he should be a eunuch with a small official position.

The eunuch was also quite polite to Cao Pi, and after reading the edict of the Son of Heaven, the two guards carried the box behind him to Cao Pi, and said with a smile: "This is a reward of 50,000 yuan, and the son can count it." "The voice is neither male nor female.

"There's no need to count, there is an edict from the Lao Temple."

"Don't bother, don't bother. The lower official will not disturb the son," and then retired with it.

Cao Pi didn't look at the coins in the box, and he didn't need to think about it to know that it was five baht, so he said to Dianman: "Bo Ying, you should go and look for a Hu slave, in addition to being strong, it is best to be good at riding horses, I heard that Hu people all grew up on horseback, even if they are eight or nine years old, they should be good at the art of horses." ”

Dian Man agreed and left immediately, he wanted to find someone to help move the money, 50,000 yuan is not light, Cao Pi was about to go to the backyard to practice swords, Hui'er came to inform again, someone asked to see.

Cao Pi asked Hui'er to bring the visitors into the main hall, only to find out that the person who came was the son of Ren Jun, the general of Diannong Zhonglang, and Ren Xian, the sergeant of the Tiger Guard Battalion.

"Brother Zhong Ying came to the door, I don't know what happened?" Of course, Cao Pi would not directly ask Ren Xian whether he would leave the Tiger Guard Army and come to work under his command, because Hui'er was still waiting on the side.

Ren Xian replied: "My father wants to invite my son to come over to the house in the next few days to discuss the planting of rice in the coming year. ”

"I'll go to visit my uncle tomorrow after breakfast, and I'm tired of Brother Zhongying telling my uncle."

"After I return home, I will inform my father, and in the future, I will assist my son in all matters related to paddy field planting, and my son can send someone to inform me whether he wants people or things."

Cao Pi smiled and asked, "Brother Zhong Ying is no longer on an errand in the Tiger Guard Camp?" ”

Ren Xian replied: "I can live the business of millions of people, but it is comparable to the merits of Huo and Wei, I have already given my father and retired from the army." ”

This is comparable to Huo and Wei Zhigong, which Cao Pi said to him in the army at that time, and now that Ren Xian said this, he naturally decided to help Cao Pi take care of the army. Now the affairs of the military tun are decided by his father Ren Jun, as his son, Ren Xian is naturally much more convenient to act in the military tun, when Cao Pi is not in Xu Du, Ren Xian came forward, and no one in the military tun dared to disobey, not like Dian Man, who can only be matched with Chen Sanlang who is a people's husband.

"Brother Zhong Ying's move will inevitably make my uncle happy, after all, marching and fighting are quite dangerous."

"In the future, I still need the guidance of the son, I am ashamed to say that I don't know anything about Tuntian."

"There is a person in my paddy field named Chen Sanlang, a native of Yongzhou, who is very shrewd, and you can ask him if you don't know about farming in the future......"

After the two chatted about some family things, Ren Xian got up to say goodbye, Cao Pi intended to send it to the door of the house, Ren Xian hurriedly said that he didn't have to, thinking that Cao Pi's move was condescending, but Cao Pi smiled and said, "From brother to brother, how can there be condescension to reason." ”

The two were prevaricating, and Dianman returned to the small courtyard with people. Ren Xian glanced at the person behind Dian Man, and was stunned for a moment, "Hu people? ”

Cao Pi also saw the person behind Dian Man, his face was childish, and he was only eight or nine years old, without tying the horns, his hair was scattered, his hair color was slightly yellow, and the curls were serious, which was very different from the black hair of the Central Plains.

Now although the Han Dynasty is in the era of separation, but the Hu people are quite powerful Xiongnu, Xianbei, Wuhuan are like the Han Dynasty ministers, in the Han territory have a place to settle down, but these Hu people also have tribes, often because of food, women and kill each other, under the control of the prosperous Han Dynasty, there is some convergence, to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, this kind of internal strife intensified, to later some powerful Hu tribes will also loot the Han city near them.

In addition to their own use, the goods they grabbed were sold to the local clans, the local Han people, who would also take advantage of the troubled times to buy the Hu people to rob the small peasants of money and grain, forcing them to have nowhere to stay, and then come to their own manors and Wubao to serve as laborers. As for the Han people looted by the Hu people, most of them were bought by the local clans, and some of the Hu people who were caught for attacking each other would be resold to the Central Plains by the local clans, after all, both orchids and Hu slaves were rare things in the Central Plains, and the price could be doubled.

Because it is rare, it will be strange for Ren Jun to see it. Cao Pi smiled: "It's just in time." He took a few steps forward, looked at this Hu Nu carefully, and asked, "Boying, how old is this person?" ”

"The vendor said the son was nine years old."

Cao Pi nodded, this Hu Nu boy has a mediocre appearance, single eyelids, small eyes, thick lips, high nose bridge, Chinese face, he should not be handsome when he grows up, but his physique is really strong, now Cao Pi is 11 years old, his body is getting taller, and he is more than 160 cm, but this nine-year-old Hu Nu is similar to his height, and his physique is also comparable to himself, you must know that although the difference between 11 and 9 years old is only two years old, but the child is the same for a year, and many people have gradually slowed down when they reach the age of 14. 11 to 14 years old is the peak of development, this child is only 9 years old, but he is similar to Cao Pi's figure, and he must be very tall when he becomes an adult.

When Cao Pi was observing Hu Nu, this Hu Nu was also observing Cao Pi.

"What's your name?"

"There is no name, only a surname." Hu Nu spoke well in Chinese, and it was obvious that in the place where Hu and Han lived together, it was not difficult for them to learn Chinese.

"Scarlet? This is still the surname of the Xiongnu nobles? How did it come to this? ”

"There are too many Xiongnu tribes, attacking each other, the one who wins is the noble, the one who loses is the slave, how can there be any noble surname." Hunu replied.

"Bold! How dare you be so rude when talking to your son! Dianman snorted. Na Hunu shrank his neck when he heard the binge, and obviously suffered a lot on the way.

"Forget it, Hu Ren, it's normal to not be polite, Bo Ying, these **** will take him back to your house to live first, don't let him run away."

Dian Man smiled and said: "Don't worry, this kid won't run, and if he does, he will starve to death, or go to another place to be a slave." ”

Cao Pi smiled, sent Ren out first, then returned to the courtyard, and said to Dianman: "You will take him back to the house first, come over after breakfast tomorrow, and follow me to the mansion of Diannong Zhonglang." ”
