The weather was clear, and the sun shining on his body made Qin Dong very energetic, and when he returned to the barracks, he happened to meet Sanji, who pulled Qin Dong aside and whispered, "Where did you go last night?" Do you know that something big happened again last night? ”

Qin Dong knew that the bodies of Constantius and his two guards must have been discovered, so he pretended to be at a loss and asked, "I went to spend the night at my uncle's place, what's wrong, what's going on?" ”

Sanchi said with a mysterious look: "Just now, I smashed the general, the wife of the king's secretary Constantius woke up from the bonfire banquet and went back to find that his husband and two guards were dead in the big tent, according to the royal court officials who inspected it, it was because the two guards saw the state secretary holding a large sum of money, so they killed him greedily, who knew that the two guards had another internal strife because of the uneven distribution of the spoils, and the two of them died together!" ”

"How so?"

"Who knows? Maybe Changshengtian saw Attila Dadan die and asked the secretary of state to accompany him! I'm still on duty, so I'll go first! ”

After sending Sanji away, Qin Dong went to the stable to lead his horse and borrowed two horses from the other two guards and flew out of the camp and rushed to the outside of the royal court, he was going to redeem all his father's three family members from the Hun herdsmen, the horse he led from Constantius last night was driven out of the royal court, the horse could not be ridden, once it was seen, it would make people suspect that Constantius's death was related to him, and now he has money, he took it from the deerskin bag last night, and took a total of fifty gold coins, Carry it in a small cloth bag and carry it in your arms.

Riding a horse galloping on the field, all the way refreshed, riding a horse in this area with a wide field of vision feels different, in the previous life in the city of the steel forest, Qin Dong was overwhelmed by life, and traveled to this era to breathe fresh air without any pollution, although the air emitted a bad smell of horse manure, but Qin Dong still felt that the air here smelled much better than the city air in the previous life.

Qin Dong ransomed his father's three family members from the hands of the Xiongnu herdsmen very smoothly, and after obtaining a free identity, Liu San and other three men around forty years old hugged their heads and cried, for four years, they had been slaves for four years, and they did not have enough food and clothing every day, and now they were finally out of the clutches of slave owners.

The four of them rode three horses to rush back, Qin Dong said on the horse: "Uncle Liu, Uncle Wang, Uncle Ma, now I am a centurion, no longer a guard soldier, I will have my own cavalry in the future, yesterday the new Da Dan Yu rewarded me with a lot of cattle, sheep and horses, and I need you to help me feed them in the future!" Da Shan Yu also removed my slave status, and I am now a free man."

Liu San said in a trembling voice: "Young, young master, this, is this true?" ”

"Of course it's true, someone will send cattle, sheep and horses over today, I'm just worried that one person can't be busy, so I'll redeem you all first, and then I'll rest assured that you can help me take care of it, after all, we're all our own people, aren't we? I can't trust anyone else! ”

The three of them were overjoyed when they heard this, one by one they cried bitterly, it was really not easy, it was okay in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Qin family was a well-known local rich family, basically no one dared to bully, but when they came here, they were not familiar with the place, they suffered a big loss when they first came, and then they were taken captive and became slaves, it is really not a human life, it is better to be a slave here in the Huns, as long as they are willing to work, there is generally no danger to their lives, and being a slave in the Eastern and Western Roman Empires is in danger of losing their lives at any time, especially male slaves, The gladiatorial arenas of Rome and Constantinople were built especially for their slaves, so that the bloody battles of the slaves were exciting for the nobles.

The four of them galloped quickly, and soon returned to the camp, Qin Dong found tools, wood and ropes, and the four of them worked together in the open space next to the camp, nailed wooden stakes around a clearing, and then fenced it with ropes, and it didn't take long for a simple sheepfold to be enclosed.

Not long after the sheepfold was formed, someone sent the lottery head of last night one after another, Qin Dong took Liu San and his three family members to receive it at the gate of the barracks, in less than two hours, two hundred good horses, five hundred cattle, one thousand sheep and one hundred gold pounds were all sent by those high-ranking officials, Qin Dong did not have the slightest politeness, and he accepted it correctly, now he can have one hundred and ten cavalry, and there are three family members such as Liu San, Wang Guang, and Ma Liu, as well as Sophia, these people need to be fed, and there is no money, Without cattle, sheep and horses, it is simply impossible to survive on the savannah.

Not counting a hundred pounds, only two hundred good horses, five hundred cattle, and a thousand sheep are equivalent to the number of livestock owned by a large rancher, and these livestock make the colleagues who guard the camp envious, and they can only blame themselves for not having this ability.

Then Qin Dong went to the chief of the guard, Wu Ji, to take a hundred cavalry that belonged to him, and Wu Ji immediately took him to receive a hundred cavalry, and after receiving a hundred cavalry, he took these cavalry to the outside of the royal court to cut down trees and fences, and prepared to make a simple fence here to lock up livestock, anyway, he would soon leave the royal court to go to Saidika, and the fence did not need to be built too well.

Leaving these cavalry to build a fence on the hillside, Qin Dong returned to the military in the royal court with a dozen cavalry, and Liu San and the other three and these cavalrymen drove all the cattle, sheep and horses to the fence being built in the royal court, and handed over one hundred gold pounds to Liu San for safekeeping, Liu San went to the market to buy a board cart and brought a horse to become a carriage, and loaded all Qin Dong's belongings in the military camp on the carriage and followed Qin Dong to the west exit of the royal court.

Qin Dong walked to the door of the fifth tent on the left and shouted, "Sofitel, I'm back!" ”

Sophia heard the sound and ran out of it, and when she got out of the tent, she rushed over and hugged Qin Dong tightly, lest he run away, Qin Dong patted Sophia's vest and comforted: "Okay, okay, isn't my brother-in-law back?" Come on, let's pack our things and go out of town, we won't stay here! ”

Sophia got down from Qin Dong and ran into the tent, thinking that she was packing up her things, Liu San wondered how it was only a day of work Qin Dong, the young master, had undergone such a big change, and now there was even an extra sister-in-law, so he asked: "Young master, this, this ......."

Qin Dong pulled Liu San aside and whispered the situation, Liu San sighed after hearing it: "Hey, this kid is pitiful, we are all poor people, if you can help, you can help, okay, young master, you are the head of the family, you have to call the shots in all matters, you don't care about this little thing, leave this child to me to bring!" ”

Qin Dong smiled and nodded: "I know that Uncle Liu is not a person who can't clean up, so I will bother you!" ”

After the discussion was completed, the two began to dismantle the tent, and then Sophia came over and pulled the corner of Qin Dong's clothes and said, "Brother-in-law, come here!" ”

"What's wrong?"

Sophia took Qin Dong to the corner of the tent and lifted a sheepskin blanket to reveal a deerskin bag of the same size as last night, Qin Dong opened the bag suspiciously, only to see that the bag was full of gold coins, Qin Dong tried the weight, about ninety catties, that is, one hundred gold pounds, Liu San just came over and saw this bag of gold coins, and immediately took a breath: "Young master, this ......."

One hundred gold pounds was equivalent to nine hundred and ten taels of gold, Qin Dong knew that this hundred gold pounds was likely to be half of Lucia's commission for assassinating Attila, and the other half was buried by him on the hillside outside the royal court, he raised his hand to stop Liu San from continuing: "Uncle Liu, this money belongs to Sophia, it was left to her by her sister, she is still young now, we will help him keep it for the time being, and then hand it over to her at her disposal when she grows up!" ”

Liu San nodded lightly: "Okay, young master!" I know! ”

After this episode, the three of them sped up, quickly dismantled the tent, put all the useful things on the cart, and discarded the useless things, and after driving the carriage out of the royal court, Qin Dong took the two of them to the place where the gold coins were buried yesterday and took out another bag of gold coins, so far, Qin Dong has one hundred gold pounds, and Sophia has two hundred gold pounds, which is a lot of money.

The smallest monetary unit in Roman times was the Cadras, made of bronze, 2 Cadras to huàn 1 seme, semi was made of bronze, 2 semy = 1 as, asa was a copper coin, 2 as=1 dupondi, dupondi was made of bronze, 2 duponti = 1 cestere, the sestyr was the easiest daily trading currency of the Romans, made of bronze, 4 sestersteres = 1 dinar (silver), 25 dinars (silver) = 1 ori (gold), i.e. 1 gold coin (ori) =25 silver coins (dinars), 1 silver coin (dinar) = 16 copper coins (as), these three currencies were the most important trading currencies throughout the Roman Empire (the other intermediary currencies will not be described).
