Chapter 159: A New Life
For these craftsmen, many Ning Qi know, among which the largest number are carpenters, as well as stonemasons, blacksmiths, etc., but the number of blacksmiths is the least, and there are many doctors, and it is really not easy for these doctors to find so many people.
Although I don't know why the Li family in Longxi paid such a big price, it is obvious that these people, like Ning Qi, have no way to resist, so they can only drag their families out of Dunhuang County and face the new owner with anxiety!
Fortunately, not long after they left Dunhuang County, a group of 500 cavalry appeared around them, and when these cavalry with the banner of the Han Dynasty appeared, they were somewhat relieved, because the equipment of these cavalry was too extravagant.
Not to mention the bright light armor all over the body, and the whole body is white horse and white armor, and these white horses alone don't know how many horses they have to choose from.
Ning Qi secretly asked a blacksmith he knew, according to this blacksmith, just these five hundred sets of Mingguang armor want to be created, if a blacksmith builds a set, it will take at least half a year, this is just to create the armor pieces on it, this is not counting the sewing of the armor.
If you count the sewing, it will take at least a year!
This alone, even the Longxi Li clan can't do it, and it can't be said that it can't be done, and it should be said that the Longxi Li clan doesn't dare to hide the armor privately.
However, from this point of view, at least their new owner is not bad in terms of military strength, which is also right, because I heard that their new owner has even defeated the Turks, and even recruited many Turks.
It's just that their future life will definitely not be too good, take a look at where they live, Yumen Pass in the Han Dynasty, what is there in that place? Except for a ruin, a ruin is a ruin.
They went there, and they didn't have to think about it, and they didn't have to go anywhere with a high standard of living, but fortunately, they were craftsmen, since the other party needed craftsmen, even if the lives of their own people were worse, they should have some guarantees.
All in all, they don't really have much hope.
It's just that when their team approached the vicinity of Yumen Pass, with an exclamation, the entire team was completely boiling, and Ning Qi, who was in the middle of the team, didn't know what was happening, but he still immediately rushed to the high slope.
When Ning Qi rushed up the high slope, his whole breath couldn't help but suffocate, because what appeared in front of him was not what he thought at all, a ruin, already composed of some dilapidated tents, all over the Gobi Desert, deserted!
It's a piece of green! That's right, it's green! And a river meanders from a large oasis on the north side of Yumen Pass to the south farther away, the entire Yumen Pass is indeed an earthy yellow city wall, but around the earthy yellow city wall, it is completely surrounded by green!
I don't know when the entire area around Yumen Pass has turned into a large area of grassland, and at this moment, there are a lot of horses, cattle and sheep grazing on these grasslands. This environment ...... It's not what they imagined!
Indeed, Yumen Pass is still in ruins, and even the city walls are still in tatters, but this vibrant green makes their mood suddenly change for the better.
Because as long as there is green, it means that you can farm here, as long as you can farm, you will not starve to death, and looking at the green that stretches out, I am afraid that there is a lot of land here! Even if you can't farm, you can always graze cattle and sheep like the Turks!
"Fellow craftsmen, please wait here and wait, your leader has already gone to report to our leader, and our leader will make arrangements for you later!" A cavalryman rode along the crowd and shouted loudly.
Everyone was quiet, when they first left Dunhuang County, it was impossible to say that they were not worried, but after these cavalry came, their attitude towards them was very respectful, which made them also put a lot of peace of mind, because the other party had such a good attitude towards them, which meant that it would be useful to them.
In this way, their lives and safety should be guaranteed.
However, although Ning Qi did not correct the other party's title, he was somewhat uncomfortable, because he didn't dare to take everyone's title.
Everyone waited here, the line of six thousand people stretched for a long time, and the farthest was already close to the city gate, but Ning Qi and they were still far away.
They came over this time, just brought their belongings, as well as some important property, the Li family in Longxi did not treat them badly, some of their real estate and the like were kept for them, but they were converted into money, and said that if Huo Gang did not equip them with these things, the Li family in Longxi would send them over.
I don't know why, Ning Qi also has some expectations for his new life at the moment, because no matter what, since their coming here is a foregone conclusion, there must always be some hope!
"Father, is this where we will work in the future? But there aren't even a tree here, so what are we doing here? Ning Qi's second son couldn't help but ask.
"These are not things we have to think about, remember, talk less and do more in the future." Ning Qi scolded his son, it doesn't matter if it's in the Li family, after so many years, the people working around him are familiar with it.
But when they come to a new place, they don't know what the character of the new owner is, and they talk nonsense, which can easily lead to death, because this is no longer the Tang Dynasty, there is no one to protect them here, and it is their new master who can decide their life and death.
"Yes, Father." Ning Qi's second son hurriedly spoke.
At this moment, inside the Yumen Pass, Huo Gang also spoke directly: "Mr. Wu, let's start." ”
"Yes, General!"
Huo Gang got the news two days in advance, so Huo Gang had already prepared for the arrangement of these 6,000 people.
The location in the Yumen Pass Huo Gang had already let Wu Ping arrange, the original city wall of the Yumen Pass was about a thousand meters square, and there were many residents who could accommodate it, and the 1,000 people led by Huo Gang only occupied a small part, but now that these 6,000 people are here, the entire Yumen Pass can occupy most of them.
All the felt tents of these people, Huo Gang has already let people set them up, for the time being, it can only be felt tents, to be honest, cement Huo Gang was originally preparing to build the city wall first, and now Huo Gang has to think about it.
But then he still has to look at the output of cement, he has asked Gongsun Lin to send a hundred people, with Lu Feng and a few Turks to investigate the location of the iron mine. It is estimated that in about a day or two, there will be news.
Sun Er and they have already tested the cement, if it is not for the use of slag, the use of iron ore directly ground into powder, the effect of slag is not much different, and the strength even seems to be a little stronger, but the source of this iron ore is not the iron ore that Huo Gang and they are exploring now.
As a modern person, Huo Gang certainly knows that iron ore and iron ore raw materials are also different.
At this moment, at the gate of the city, ten tables have been directly propped up, ten guards who can write have sat down behind the tables, the ink has been polished, and next to them is a thick pile of paper, which is about the size of a palm, and some content has been printed on it in advance.
This is a brief list of information, name, age, place of origin, skilled trade, and number of family members.
This is a simplified version of household registration information. There will be more details later, but for the time being, because Li Yi has not sent a large amount of paper yet, Huo Gang really can't afford the household registration thing now.
The current paper is too expensive, and the money must be spent on the blade, Huo Gang is already preparing to make paper, and it is better to put these raw materials in his own hands.
"Okay, let's line up into ten teams, take the family as a unit, and move forward one by one." As Wang Shan at the gate of the city spoke loudly, the crowd immediately began to squirm.
"Name?"
"Zhu Ming."
"Age."
"Twenty-eight."
"Origin."
"Liangzhou."
"Skilled trades?"
"What kind of craft do you know?"
"I'm Langzhong." Zhu Ming hurriedly replied.
Seeing that the other party wrote the word medical officer on the booklet, Zhu Ming waited for the other party's next question.
"How many people are in your family?"
"There are five of them." Zhu Ming said.
"Is it one of these around you?" The cavalryman in charge of registration raised his head and looked at the few people who followed behind him and asked.
"Yes." Zhu Ming nodded.
"Okay, you have this thing, and there is a number at the bottom of this booklet, and this number is the temporary location of your house. Once your family is registered, someone will take you to your home. ”
"Yes! Thank you, this military master. Zhu Ming hurriedly arched his hand.
"Just call the sergeant." The cavalryman raised his head and said, the title of sergeant was set by Huo Gang, and it can be regarded as an official title for these soldiers.
"Yes, thank you sergeant." Zhu Ming spoke again, the cavalryman nodded, and began to register Zhu Ming's family again, Zhu Ming noticed that his family registration information was much simpler.
There is only a simple information about the name and gender.
Because Zhu Ming's children are still young, the family all registered with Zhu Ming.
After the registration was completed, a sergeant next to him immediately came over and said to Zhu Ming, "Doctor Zhu, please come with me." As he spoke, the sergeant took the initiative to help him carry the box next to him.
"No, no, I'll do it myself." Zhu Ming hurriedly spoke, he didn't dare to let the other party carry it, the other party paused, didn't force it, and directly began to lead the way in front. And Zhu Ming and his family followed, and next to them, there were nine other families who had registered almost at the same time.
