Xu Le was about to turn around and leave in a dashing manner, when he heard Yao Nian's voice behind him: "You want to buy slaves?"

Xu Le turned around in astonishment, and saw Yao Nian, a giant man, looking at him seriously. This is not something to hide, Xu Le nodded and said: "It is precisely to buy slaves, the fiefdom is newly established, and there is too little manpower, so I have to add some." ”

Yao Nian's expression was solemn, and he continued to ask, "Is your fief short of people to take care of it?"

Xu Le shook his head: "The Marquis of Yan is a gift, and there are more than 20 slaves in Zhuangtian, I think there is no shortage of manpower for farming and care......"

If you don't use slaves to cultivate the grange, then you will use strong slaves as a part. In fact, for the Qin State at this moment, there are fewer and fewer things for slaves to be used as subordinates. For no other reason, Qin's sphere of influence has been shrinking more and more under the oppression of the surrounding enemies, and a large number of fertile fields have been abandoned. Although the west of Rongqi is fertile for thousands of miles, the Qin State now has a faint tendency of more people and less land. Even if a big family like the Shi family is granting his subordinates less and less land.

But for the sake of the tribe, they must be given enough land to support themselves and their future families. But there are military merits, and there are rewards. For the people, it is also a rare upward channel. And the power of the Qin State has shrunk, and the scale of the Zhanyang tribe is getting smaller and smaller, and the native Qin people can't be fully accommodated, let alone using slaves as an army?

Why is Heyang Jun powerful, in addition to the support of Qiang Zhao behind him, and the rich production of Heyang fiefdom, there is also the Rui Shi Army that has always maintained oppression on the ghost side, constantly opening up new land, which can support the continuous expansion of the private army and attract talents. In the long run, the scale effect will be formed, and it will naturally become a dominant trend in the Qin State.

I heard that Xu Le wanted to buy slaves, but he didn't use it for grange farming. Yao Nian looked slightly disappointed, shook his head and didn't speak again. Xu Le, on the contrary, became curious, and continued to ask: "Is Brother Yao also in the slave business?"

If this muscular blacksmith brother and a master who is hidden in the market is really so diversified, Xu Le has to find out his details no matter what, this person is too storytelling.

Yao Nian shook his head: "Qin Guonu City, either operated by Xiancheng merchants, or operated by Qi merchants. Where can characters like me intervene? It's just trying to find a way out for a group of children, to give them a place to eat. Xu Jun recruited the troops to fight, which was not suitable for these children. So let's leave it at that. ”

Looking at Yao Nian, who looked calm but slightly depressed, Xu Le wanted to ask something, but he gave up after thinking about it. Today, it can be regarded as a great gain. Yao Nian responded with instructions on the cultivation of Liu Jun and Su Ming. Although I don't know if Yao Nian has the ability to really allocate the two goods points, it is much better than having no clue before. And I don't know why, Xu Le believes that this giant man who gives people a feeling of stability like a mountain does have that ability.

You have enough of your own affairs, so don't solicit other people's affairs, and wait until you have the ability to meddle in your own affairs.

Xu Le didn't say anything more, and said goodbye to Yao Nian, and when he turned around, he couldn't help but ask again: "Brother Yao, you have such a friendship with Shi Youyi, why don't you ask him for help if you have something?"

Yao Nian shook his head and replied lightly: "Because I hate historians." ”

This answer was unexpected by Xu Le, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a while. Yao Nian had already turned around, picked up an iron block and put it into the furnace, and pulled the huge bellows. Whirring, flames rose up, illuminating the muscles of his body.

Xu Le shook his head and was about to go out with a few brothers. I heard Yao Nian say without replying: "I went to Waibei City to find a person named Peng Chong, and said that I introduced him." The sturdy slave you want is the only one you have. Those Qi merchants in Nanshi are all cowardly slave girls, sissy men, what use do they use?"

Xu Le didn't expect Yao Nian to point out to himself at the end, and he turned around and grinned, very sunny: "Brother Yao, thank you! I will find you to drink another day, and when I have a firm foothold and enough ability, I will talk about your troubles." I can't help much now............ Gone!"

The footsteps sounded, and Xu Le left with a few brothers without looking back. Yao Nian froze there and couldn't stop pulling the bellows.

This young man who suddenly came to the door was full of vitality and confidence. The demeanor is refreshing and free, and people unconsciously have a sense of affinity with him.

But more than 20 years of hard searching, more than 20 years of weather. Let him not have any hope for the future for a long time, everything is just doing his duty.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Qiyang is not as large as Qiyin, not only is the city several times larger, but also the population is ten times more than Qiyang. Inside and outside the city, the complexity and diversity of all personnel are also ten times greater than that of Qiyang.

In addition to a north city in Qiyang City, there is also a outer north city outside the city wall.

Since the Battle of Qianhaiyuan, Qin's sphere of influence has shrunk greatly, and the original territory in the west and north has been ravaged and trampled by Rouran, or taken by the Zhao people to take advantage of the chaos. Even places like Qiyin Shuangying Pass have become the front line. Hundreds of thousands of Qin people poured into the Qin country after they escaped the trampling and plundering of the Rouran Iron Cavalry and the Zhao people who took advantage of the fire to rob. Some of them were absorbed by the lords everywhere - especially Heyang-kun absorbed the most. However, there are still as many as tens of thousands of Qin people who cannot be resettled, so they can only flock to the left of Qiyang, build sheds with outlines, dig ground nests, and rely on the relief and alms of the Hou room to maintain.

Over the past decade, the refugee camp outside the northern city has been transformed into a continuous underground market. The people of Qiyang call it Waibei City.

Tens of thousands of people live in it. The relief of the Hou Room has long been cut off, and these tens of thousands of people have to survive, and this Waibei City has become a gray area in Qiyang City. Here you can find the cheapest women, you can hire the most ferocious thugs, you can buy goods that Qi merchants will not sell, everything has a price here, you can sell it, no matter how you come from.

In this place, even the Qiyang City Guards never entered it. It has its own rules and laws. It is the other side of this simple and martial, brave and strong Qin State. It is also the weakness of the Hou Chamber in these years that has formed a situation in this Waibei City, in Qiyin, in Heyang, even in Xiancheng, there will be no such scene.

For more than ten years, the nobles have also discovered the benefits of the existence of Waibei City, and they have always acquiesced to the survival and growth of this gray area in Qiyang.

Xu Le took a few brothers to step into it, as if he had come to another world.

On the whole, the Qin people have good habits. The dwelling is surrounded by water, and it is not expensive to sprinkle and sweep the dust for a day. There are not a few Qin people who have to wash every day. Because of the abundant water resources brought by Qishui and its tributaries, this habit of the Qin people was supported.

It is precisely because of the hygienic habits of the Qin people that Xu Le and a few people came over, and they can basically stay. I don't think there's anything too uncomfortable about it.

However, in this Waibei City, all kinds of shacks and buildings are layered on top of each other, and they are entangled in a mess. The streets are narrow, sewage flows, and rats can be seen swaggering through the streets with unknown things.

Before entering this Waibei City from the narrow intersection, you can see many fierce-looking men sitting or standing at the intersection with their swords tied to their belts without sheathing. His eyes just glanced at Xu Le and the others who came over.

And in the wound of the two-story small building above their heads, a disheveled woman was breastfeeding there with a baby in her arms, and her eyes were full of indifference when she looked at Xu Le.

In the dark streets and alleys, there were suddenly a few more shouts and screams, and then silence again.

Xu Le only felt that Liu Jun suddenly clinged to him. Looking back, the good boy Liu Ermi was already pale and clenched his teeth. But I didn't call it out, and it was much better than the old six.

Looking at Su Ming and Cai Hengwen again, the two who have experienced life and death are really different, Su Ming rolled up his sleeves, revealing his stronger and stronger arms, and looked at each other without giving in to the few men who were squatting and standing at the intersection. And Cai Hengwen intentionally or unintentionally touched the hilt of the sword on his waist, his expression was cold.

Liu Jun said in a trembling voice: "Boss, can't you get in?"

Xu Le smiled: "Since you're here, why don't you go?" We have this little belongings, maybe we can only find what we want here............ You have to be careful from scratch!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ world unfolds, real continuous growth, emotional entanglements, refreshing battles, unprecedented big scenes and even episodes that others have not written about are about to begin. But there are too many clues, and my brain is hot when I think about reasonable arrangements. Let me think about it a little more.

I'm sorry to change it today.
