The last time Li Kun bought a batch of house slaves for Wu Nian, things were much simpler. But those house slaves were different. It is a house slave raised by a scholarly family, a housekeeper, a porter, a maid, a coachman, a long-term entourage, and the like.

It is a group of domestic slaves who serve the master's family and improve the quality of life of the master's family.

There are also a few pretty maids among them, if Wu Nian wants to, it is a matter of course to accept them as a maid in the room.

Most of these people are fugitives.

At present, there are only two or three thousand military households in Beishan Fort. He directly has 800 house slaves, which is actually very awesome.

In front of a deserted house.

Wu Nian put on a desk, prepared the four treasures of the study, and asked the literate housekeeper to make a knife and pen clerk and make records.

Li Yong, Tie Niu, Zhang Sheng, Wang Gui and other soldiers, armed with steel knives, scattered in all directions to maintain order.

He sat with Zhang Jin and Li Sheng. And the men among the eight hundred slaves were arranged in a long line.

A capable man, standing in front of the desk, is very well-behaved.

Wu Nian glanced up at this person and asked, "Name, how many people are in the family, and what did you do before?" ”

"Returning to your lordship. The villain's surname is Zhang Mingzhen, and he has a mother-in-law, a concubine, and five children in the family. The eldest of them......"

The capable men are very well-behaved.

Wu Niangao glanced at this guy, he was worthy of being a thief, seeing that he was mediocre, and he even had a concubine. It is estimated that it was robbed.

But the past is not to blame.

"What do you think, brother?" The housekeeper recorded it on the side, and Wu Nian turned his head to Zhang Jindao.

"You can be taken as a domestic soldier." Zhang Jin replied dryly.

"Do you hear that?" Wu Nian looked up at Zhang Zhendao.

"I hear you." Zhang Zhen looked well-behaved.

Not all of them were combatants, some were blacksmiths, some were good at making bows, some were good at making armor, and some were good at raising horses.

Separate arrangements are required.

"You say you can make a crossbow?" Wu Nian's eyes lit up, and he looked at the thin man in front of him and said.

"Yes." The thin man said honestly.

"Can you make a god arm bow?" Wu came to be interested and asked.

The Divine Arm Bow is a kind of crossbow arrow, which is very powerful, and it is the most powerful crossbow arrow in the Great Chu State. At a sufficient distance, it is possible to shoot and wound a soldier in heavy armor.

It is a sharp weapon against cavalry and heavy armor soldiers.

"The villain is only one person, and the process of making the Divine Arm Bow is extremely complicated, and the materials are difficult to find. The villain can't do it. ”

The man shook his head honestly and saluted.

"Hmm. I'll arrange for you ten people and buy you enough materials. You slowly make me a god arm bow. Wu Nian immediately waved his pen and promoted the man.

"Yes." The man nodded and agreed.

Of the eight hundred house slaves, three or four hundred were men. Let those who raise horses raise horses, and let those who strike iron let them strike iron.

This capable and experienced man was incorporated into the family soldiers. Together with the family soldiers recruited by Wu Nian before, two teams of twenty-two people were formed, which were managed by Zhang Jin.

Wu Nian also selected a few literate and clever people from among the domestic slaves to manage household registration and logistics issues.

To put it simply, Wu Nian set up a small hundred-household office.

And it's more concise and efficient.

For example, the 100 households of Beishan. It's nominally a hundred-household house, but it's rotten to the roots, and it's not much use.

It's not as good as Wu Nian's 800 slaves.

After all this work, it was almost evening. Wu Nian left a team of family soldiers to patrol the neighborhood and maintain law and order.

He took Zhang Jin and another team of family soldiers and went back to his Sanjin mansion to protect himself.

As for Li Yong and the others, let them go back and forth.

When everyone returned to the gate of the Sanjin mansion, it was already dark. In front of the gate, a house slave held the lamp, and Liu Xiang and Chen looked forward to it in the cold wind.

"Brother. You're back. ”

Liu Xiang resisted the urge to throw herself into Wu Nian's arms, and greeted him with a happy face.

"Xiao Nian." Chen also called affectionately. The two are newlyweds, and she misses him to death.

"Hmm. It's back. Wu Nian smiled at Liu Xiang, then turned his head and grabbed Chen's slippery little hand, and blamed: "Sister." It was windy at the door. How did you get out. ”

"Someone's here." Chen blushed and withdrew his hand, and said in a voice like a gnat.

She blamed in her heart.

You can toss as much as you want in the boudoir, but you're ashamed to die outside.

Wu Nian was not as ashamed as Chen, but he remembered. pointed at Zhang Jin, and introduced to Chen and Liu Xiang with a smile: "This is the eldest brother I befriended, surnamed Zhang Mingjin." After that, he lived in our house and helped me manage the family soldiers. ”

"This is my fiancée, Liu."

"This is my concubine Chen."

"Brother."

Chen and Liu Xiang hurriedly got serious, and they were very serious about Zhang Jinfu.

Wu Nian looked at Liu Xiang in surprise, this girl was well-behaved, and she looked more and more like an official wife.

"Two ladies." Zhang Jin's face was serious, and he clasped his fists and saluted.

Although Wu Nian called him his elder brother, he did not dare to be presumptuous.

Since he has become Wu Nian's family soldier, Wu Nian is his master, and the two in front of him are the two housewives.

In Zhang Jin's heart, he naturally has a shot.

"Xiang'er. You haven't eaten, have you? Wu Nian asked Liu Xiangdao.

"I didn't eat it, I'll eat it together when my brother comes back." Liu Xiang said with a smile.

"You can eat with your sister and Ya'er. Let the kitchen prepare food and drinks for us. I ate and drank with my eldest brother and them. ”

Wu Nian pointed to Zhang Jin and the soldiers and said.

"Okay." The willow is crispy and crispy. Then Wu Nian asked the housekeeper to take Zhang Jin and the others in, and he helped Chen, intending to send her back.

At that moment, there was a sound of footsteps.

"Brother." There was also a cordial call.

Wu Nian was very familiar with the voice, and turned to look. I saw a man carrying a lantern in the dark, escorting a fat man and walking over.

This fat man is about to be in his early forties, covered with a brocade robe, and his face is very rich.

But it is one of the small flags under the same general flag, Wu Dangkou.

"It turned out to be the elder brother of the Wu family." Wu Nian was very polite with his hands clenched into fists, bent down and saluted.

"Xiang'er. You help my sister in. Wu Nian turned around and explained to Liu Xiang, and asked the housekeeper to take the soldiers in, leaving only Zhang Jin at the door.

"Look at what you said. You are not surnamed Wu, you are not a member of the Wu family? You should call me my brother. Wu Dangkou smiled very kindly and said.

The two have the same surname but different races, a family from 500 years ago.

"It's the little brother, isn't it." Wu Nian confessed, and hurriedly called Wu Dangkou "Brother of the family." ”

Although he is decisive in killing, he will never put on a cold face to offend people with these friendly characters.

"Huh." Wu Dangkou was immediately satisfied.

"My brother is sitting inside." Wu Nian invited very politely.

"Nope. I'm here for one thing, and I'll leave when I'm done. Wu Dangkou glanced at Zhang Jin, and the essence in his eyes flashed, he also recognized this tiger.

There were many officials in Liaodong who tried every means to recruit Zhang Jin, but they did not succeed. Unexpectedly, he was brought under the command of Wu Nian's small banner.

Strange, strange.

"What's the matter?" Wu Nian asked.
