"You're from Gengsh, too. It's cold outside, come in and warm up. ”

The big man said, stretched out his hand and patted the pitch-black withered grass mat next to him, meaning to let Zhao Tuo go over.

"No."

Zhao Tuo answered, carrying his bags and walking into the house.

The man who spoke was about eight feet tall, in his thirties, with a square face and thick eyebrows, and a sincere smile on his face when he spoke.

From Zhao Tuo's point of view, this kind of person generally has no bad intentions, and he is very enthusiastic about doing things.

And Zhao Tuo noticed that this man's hair bun was wrapped with brown cloth, and he was actually a public servant.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Tuo put down the things, the big man enthusiastically introduced himself.

"My name is Zhu. The column of the column. A native of Yangmuli in Uehara Township. ”

Zhao Tuo smiled: "Coincidentally, I am also from Shangyuan Township." ”

"Hey, which one of you is in?"

"In the rising sun."

Zhu looked surprised, and smiled at the other thin black man next to him: "Black buttocks, do you see, it's our Shangyuan Township again, there are three of them." ”

After speaking, Zhu turned his head again, pointed to the black thin man and introduced: "This person's name is Black Buttocks, and he is from the ink stone in Shangyuan Township." When his mother gave birth to him, she found that the baby's ass was black, so she named it Black Buttocks, hahaha. ”

Several other people in the room also laughed, and a young man with slightly white skin quipped, "You should show us the black buttocks, whether your ass is black or not." ”

The black buttocks were not stunned, they really got up from the earthen platform, pouted their buttocks at everyone in the room, and laughed: "Come on, Naigong is still afraid that you won't succeed." If you want to see, Naigong will show you. ”

A string of cheerful laughter rang out in the room, and the atmosphere was full of joy.

Zhao Tuo also laughed.

In this era, the names of the common people and Qianshou were quite strange, because they did not have a surname or surname, and generally only had one name, and most of the names were chosen at random.

Or point to something around you, such as "stones, mountains, and pillars."

Or some kind of animal and plant, such as "sunflowers, pheasants, birds".

There are also according to the child's situation or the mood when he gave birth, such as the "black buttocks" in front of him, or "surprise, joy, and sadness".

Of course, there are some people who are too lazy to choose a name, so they directly let the baby call Uncle Ji.

The eldest is called Bo, the second is called Zhong, and they go all the way until the eldest is called Ji.

As for the surname and surname, that is something that only the aristocracy has.

Of course, with the chaos of the kingdoms, many former nobles were reduced to commoners, and their descendants also carried surnames.

Just like the generations of Chen She, Wu Guang, and Liu Ji, just by hearing the name, you know that the ancestors of others are also broad.

After everyone finished laughing, the black buttocks reacted, pointed at Zhao Tuo and said, "That's not right." You say you're from Uehara, but your accent doesn't look like that. ”

"I'm a citizen."

Zhao Tuo explained, and handed the "inspection" in his hand to the pillar to look at it.

Zhu glanced at it and nodded his head: "Yes, it says that we are in Shangyuan Township, although we are villagers, but we are also fellow villagers." ”

徠民, that is, the people of solicitation, generally refers to immigrants from the six countries.

Attracted by Qin's policies, they left their homeland and settled down in Qin, where they would be allocated some land, and then exempted from forced labor for a period of time, allowing them to concentrate on production.

This policy has been implemented in the Qin State for decades, and it has attracted a large number of people from the Three Jin Dynasty with very preferential immigration treatment, which has greatly improved the national strength of the Qin State.

However, with the progress of the annexation war, this policy was on the verge of being abolished, because the Qin State no longer needed to attract immigrants from the Six Kingdoms.

After the destruction of the Six Kingdoms, all the people in the world are Qin people.

As soon as Zhu explained, everyone was stunned, and it was not strange to Zhao Tuo's accent.

After that, Zhu began to introduce Zhao Tuo again.

"It's long and short. They are two brothers. ”

The long and short brothers' dry grass mats were next to each other, and when they heard the introduction of the pillar, they both nodded to Zhao Tuo.

The two brothers are indeed one tall and the other short.

But it's different from what Zhao Tuo thought.

The short elder brother is only six feet eight inches, but he is called "long".

The tall brother is seven feet two inches, but is called "short".

According to Qin law, men of appropriate age in the same family cannot be levied at the same time. But it's a pity that the two have long been separated as adults, and there is still a young son at the parents' place, so this conscription will recruit the two brothers together.

"This is Ah Niu, a person from Xiayuan Township."

Ah Niu smiled at Zhao Tuo to show friendship, this man was in his twenties and had a bunch of acne on his face.

"This is a stone."

The stone nodded, silent, and looked at the corner with a somewhat dull gaze, not knowing what he was thinking.

"This is Xiaobai, and he is also from Xiayuan Township."

Xiaobai is indeed very white, and the clothes he wears are better than those of the others, and it looks like his family background should be okay.

Although it was not as good as the pampered children of the nobles, the complexion on Xiaobai's face was much whiter than that of the other people in the room.

He is about the same size as Zhao Tuo, and his personality is very cheerful, and he was the one who told everyone about Jing Ke's assassination of Qin and the person who ridiculed the black buttocks.

Seeing Zhao Tuo looking over, Xiaobai smiled and said, "Before you came in, I was the whitest in this room." As soon as you come in, I think you should be called Xiaobai. ”

Zhao Tuo couldn't help but laugh and quipped: "This is not necessarily, maybe you are whiter than me." ”

"Okay, then you take off your clothes and let me see who's the whitest."

Xiaobai saw that Zhao Tuo was also an easy-going person, and he didn't bother with his dukedom anymore, so he made a joke.

Zhao Tuo smiled and said: "Come less, if you want to see it, just go see the black buttocks." My body, but it will be shown to the bride later. ”

As soon as these words came out, laughter rang out in the room again, and in just a few words of chatting and joking, everyone's relationship became a lot closer.

But there are always out-of-place sounds.

Just when everyone was laughing, in the corner, a sharp cold snort sounded: "What are you laughing at, this is the barracks." It's not a place for you wretches to make noise, and if you shout again, I'll sue you to go. ”

The laughter stopped.

Zhao Tuo followed the voice and looked, the person who spoke was sitting in the corner of the earthen platform on the left, a fat man, about thirty years old, with a round face and a bush of beard under his chin.

He had a fur coat on top of his clothes, and although it was not very new, it was much better than the rest of the house.

What particularly attracted Zhao Tuo's attention was that his hair bun was also wrapped with brown cloth, and he was the third public in addition to Zhao Tuo and Zhu.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, he sneered, turned his head, and before turning his head, he glared at Zhao Tuo fiercely.

Zhao Tuo was thoughtful, and his arrival was probably not very happy for the fat man.

Just as there was silence in the earthen house, the sheltered wooden door was pushed open again.

An emaciated teenager staggered in.

"Are you also from Gengshi?"

Zhu asked enthusiastically, they were only one person away, and they were full.

When the young man heard the inquiry, he neither nodded nor spoke, but silently raised the wooden stick in his hand to show the crowd.

Zhao Tuo's eyes narrowed instantly.

The boy's wooden strip had his name written on it.

Shibu.
