A year later. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Winter.

Yanbei snow.

Located in the territory of Yanbei, the border city close to the prairie is naturally not spared, and the snow is covered, which makes this border city full of vitality extraordinarily peaceful.

Under the heavy snow, everything bloody and everything not beautiful was covered up one by one.

A year of development, there have been great changes in the border city, the city is divided into four areas based on the house where Li Mu lives, corresponding to four directions, separated by the most spacious cross passage in the border city, leading to the city gates of the four border cities.

Xicheng District, from the place where the Qiang Hulu was originally imprisoned, has been transformed into a more formal and larger military camp in the city.

It is a thousand feather guards, the school field in the city of the life and death camp.

Nancheng is the main residential area, which is inhabited by all the Han women in the city.

The eastern city is an important comprehensive area, and a reserve area, a large amount of grain and materials in the city are stored here, and some artisan workshops are also located here.

As for the last North City, it is where Li Mu's mansion is located, and around the mansion, there is also a school field for the training of the Thousand Feather Guards.

On weekdays, part of the Thousand Feather Guards are responsible for guarding the North City, and some of them will train in this school grounds, and if necessary, they will also go out of the city to go to the newly built slave fighting field for training.

As for the entire border city, it is guarded by the camp of life and death.

Speaking of the Fighting Slave Field, it should actually be called the Martial Arts Arena more accurately, at the beginning of the construction, it was built for the training of the Thousand Feather Guards and the selection of members of the Life and Death Camp.

It's just because it's a training ground for the Nakar Hulu.

Therefore, Qianyu Wenwei, the Han women of the life and death camp prefer to call it the Dounu Field, the full name, Douhulu Slave Training Ground.

Although this name is very inhumane, it has also trained a lot of Han women.

After Li Mu saw this rectangular building with a Han style, he had a very similar meaning of the Colosseum in ancient China, except that the shape was not oval.

The function of this slave arena is basically the same as that of the Colosseum in ancient Rome.

It's all used for competition, for fighting.

The only difference was that the Colosseum in Rome was primarily used to please the nobility.

And this slave fighting field is used to train the Thousand Feather Guards and the life and death camp of the Naqi Hulu.

Another point to mention is that since the construction of this one-thousand-meter-long and three-hundred-meter-wide slave fighting field, all the Qiang Hulu in the city have been transferred here for detention.

After all, tens of thousands of Qiang Hulu are locked up in the border city, and there will always be mistakes in terms of security, and only by moving these Qiang Hulu outside the city can safety be ensured just in case.

Therefore, the slave fighting field was basically completed in half a year.

As for how many Qiang Hulu died during this period, there are not many, and only more than 10,000 Hu Lu died in the process of building the slave fighting field.

For Li Mu, if these Qiang Hulu are dead, they will be dead, what he wants is the Thousand Feather Wenwei, the training ground of the life and death camp, who cares about the life or death of the Hu Lu.

Xiang'er and the Han women, they don't care about the life or death of these Hu Lu people.

If you don't die in the process of building the slave farm, you will also die in the process of training them in the Thousand Feather Guards, the Life and Death Camp, or you will die of exhaustion and starvation.

In the past year, in order to maintain the lives of tens of thousands of Qiang Hulu, every day, Li Mu would still instruct Xiang'er to prepare some gruel for the Hulu to fill his stomach.

The extent of gruel, as long as it does not starve to death.

This also caused the fact that when these Qiang Hulu were taken for training, ploughing the land, and bearing heavy labor, some of them died in the labor and slave fighting because they had no strength due to hunger.

......

After a heavy snowfall.

Beicheng District.

Xiang'er had just come back from checking in Dongcheng District, and she didn't come to stop in a hurry, so she walked directly to the main house where Li Mu was.

After a year, the border city has undergone great changes, and the Thousand Feather Guards have also reached full strength, with three thousand Thousand Feather Guards.

Although Qianyu Wenwei has reached full strength, he also has an independent school field and resting place, and he no longer needs to live in Li Mu's house.

Besides, this house is not very large, and it cannot accommodate more than 3,000 people.

However, although there were no more than 3,000 people living in the Thousand Feather Guards, the original 300 Thousand Feather Guards still lived in this mansion.

is responsible for the guards of the house, as well as Li Mu's daily life.

"Squeak"

With a bang, the wooden door was pushed open, and then quickly slammed shut, preventing the cold from outside from reaching the house.

"Xiang'er, are things all done?"

Li Mu, who was roasting the fire, saw that it was Xiang'er who came in, reached out and picked up the iron kettle that was boiling on the stove, and poured some hot water into the two teacups.

One cup is his own, and the other cup is naturally for Xiang'er.

After pouring the water, the tin kettle is placed back on the stove.

"Childe, it's all checked, and this year's harvest is basically counted."

Xiang'er took off her fur cloak, and then dusted off the snowflakes on it before hanging it safely.

"Sit down and have a cup of hot water."

Li Mu picked up a cup of hot water and handed it to Xiang'er.

Tea is scarce, and during the year, he can only drink some intermittently, most of them are drinking plain water, and sometimes he will drink some wine as a drink.

"Thank you, Childe."

Xiang'er smiled, quickly took the hot water in Li Mu's hand, sat by the stove, and enjoyed the warmth in the stove.

In a year, Xiang'er has changed a lot, from the initial weakness to the present, after dozens of fights and training in the slave fighting field.

and the top and bottom who manage the entire border city, she has become a qualified manager, and she is more decisive and murderous.

Sitting by the fire, with a medium-to-upper posture, there is no superfluous weakness, but a lot more heroism, like a female general.

It's fascinating.

"Childe."

"Hmm."

After calling Li Mu, Xiang'er continued: "Childe, after this year's time, from you giving us the planting method of new seeds, to planting new seeds, until now, we finally don't have to worry about food anymore, and this winter, we still have a lot of grain reserves. ”

"I just went outside the city to check it out, the wheat is very good, and I think next year will be another bumper year."

Li Mu nodded with a smile and said: "This is also thanks to the more than 4,000 Han women who did not join the life and death camp, this is all their credit, without them driving more than 10,000 Hulu slaves of the Qiang tribe to cultivate the land, where would we get a bumper harvest." ”

Of the more than 10,000 women of the Han family, after screening, only 7,000 entered the life and death camp, and then another 1,700 entered the Thousand Feather Wenwei.

A total of 8,300 men formed the defense force of the border city.

"Nature."

Xiang'er smiled and said, "I have already thanked them for my son, thank them for their contributions to the border city." ”

"That's good."

Li Mu nodded approvingly, and then said, "So far, how many Qiang Hulu are there in the border city?" ”

Xiang'er thought for a moment and said: "There are not many left, in the past year, there have been more than 50,000 dead Hulu of the Qiang tribe in pieces, and only more than 20,000 honest Hulu slaves are still alive." ”

"If it weren't for the fact that the border city couldn't be without labor, maybe there would be no left."

Li Mu smiled helplessly and said, "Then you can restrain your anger and kill less, when I take you out of the city to fight, you will kill again." ”

Hearing this, Xiang'er was pleasantly surprised: "Childe, are you willing to lead us into battle?" ”

Seeing Xiang'er's surprised look, Li Mu smiled and said, "It's almost there." ”

After saying that, he looked at the flames in the furnace, and it burned more and more vigorously.

......

At this time, a thousand-feather Wenwei walked in, followed by a man from the Han family, a man from the Han family who had never been in the border city except for Li Mu.
