In the next few days, the spies and merchants who were outside sent back the 100,000 people looted by Hu Shui one after another.

Fortunately, because of the different speeds, only about 10,000 people were brought back each time, which made Hu Ling's work intensity reduced a lot.

Arranged for them for nearly a week, it is certain that they are not adaptable, but they also have to adapt if they are not adaptable, in the grassland, especially here in Zhang Qi at present, any bad signs will be directly stifled, and it is the creed of Hu Ling's wolf cubs to kill mistakes rather than let go.

Five thousand young men recruited from among the pious were now stationed around the newly arrived herdsmen with militia trained in the form of war bands.

Although these five thousand pious people have not undergone much military training, they have been fully nourished for a year, and they are all tall and look very bluffing.

In order to make this group of people have no energy to toss, Hu Ling and they arranged the most tiring work to them, under the supervision of the militia, these people can't afford to make any waves, and although they do a lot of work, but the food is enough, after a few days of training, these 100,000 people can be regarded as temporarily stable.

However, if you want to digest them thoroughly, unless your own lord comes to the advent day again, these people will not be able to pay attention to it in two or three months.

The addition of 100,000 herdsmen has accelerated the construction of Wuhuan City again, and the inner city wall no longer has to wait for the outer city wall to be poured to dig the foundation, and the construction will start directly.

There will be some more days of snowfall, and the change in the climate is already evident these days, and the hardness of the ground will not be as easy to dig in as it is in winter.

The earth and stone in the middle of the inner and outer city walls are piled higher and higher, from four or five meters to six or seven meters, seven or eight meters, of course, these soil is loose, only slightly compacted, and there is no defense at all, at most it can only be regarded as a little obstacle.

With the hot working atmosphere, a team of cars and horses also drove from Liaodong County to Wuhuan.

Zhang Qi greeted him personally, it was Zhang Chan who came, and she arrived with the Zhang family's dowry.

There are nearly 2,000 craftsmen of all kinds, a total of 16 carts of bamboo slips loaded with carts, and in addition, there are 50,000 stone of grain that also makes Wuhuan's food pressure a little less.

Zhang's dowry is very thick, no worse than the cattle, sheep and horses he gave, and it can even be said that these dowries far exceed the value of the dowry.

Not to mention anything else, these carefully selected craftsmen can enrich the hundred industries in Zhang Qi's territory, and when there are enough apprentices and teachers, Zhang Qi can be self-sufficient in the land of the Northeast.

Although Lu Mu made it clear that there was no need for a blacksmith who would make Zhang Yi take risks, Zhang Qi still saw a blacksmith in the list of craftsmen, and there were quite a few of them.

Although in terms of steelmaking technology, Zhang Qi threw off a few streets in this era, but the blacksmith also has his unique technology, such as Zhang Qi's current blank coinage technology, with these blacksmiths, Zhang Qi can let his command have a monetary system, rather than an invisible and intangible labor division system.

Although the division of work is good, but it can really make a place develop, it still needs money, the importance of money cannot be replaced, what he has to do now is how to make his currency mainstream, so that he can have the initiative in some things.

However, this is not in the first sequence at present, and after reading the dowry list several times, Zhang Qi enthusiastically invited Zhang Chan into the king's tent.

The status of women in the Han Dynasty was not low, and after many queens and queen mothers had samples, in addition to having no inheritance rights, their other identities and status were sometimes not inferior to men.

So this time, Zhang Yi asked Zhang Chan to come over for the dowry, and by the way, he also had to exchange birthdays and choose auspicious days.

Zhang Qi didn't understand these at all, so he handed them over to Lu Mu.

Three days later, the auspicious date of Qinghua and Zhang Guang was set for October 20, the reason why it was so fast was that Zhang Yi's trust in the Han Dynasty plummeted and he chose to bet heavily on Zhang Qi, and second, if he didn't hurry up, when the snow fell, their marriage would be delayed until next year.

Zhang Qi naturally accepted this, the sooner the blue and white entered the Taishou Mansion, the sooner the weaving net could penetrate Liaodong.

So under the purpose of both parties having different thoughts, the marriage of the two was decided.

As Zhang Qi's 'sister', this matter is not a trivial matter for Wuhuan Xianbei and Liaodong.

If there is a happy event, there will naturally be a reward, and the pressure on Wuhuan's grain and grass is already very great, so Zhang Qi did not pay attention to the food, but chose to give work.

Although these jobs were not important to the herdsmen who originally belonged to Wuhuan Xianbei, they made the new captives very happy.

The amount of work determines when they return to their status as ordinary people, so everyone who is rewarded sends the most sincere blessings to Qinghua.

Time flies.

The weather became colder little by little, and in the first seven days of October 20, Zhang Qi sent blue and white flowers to the frame of Zhang Guang's welcome car from afar.

With an empty horn trombone.

One hundred and fifty glittering NPC soldiers, heavily armed and with their armor wiped off, split into two columns and flanked the greeter.

The silent knights with solemn armor all show the strength of these knights.

This move is to tell Zhang that Qinghua is not a rootless duckweed, and she has a strong backing behind her.

The welcoming team left and embarked on the journey to Liaodong, the distance was far but the Zhang family still chose to welcome the relatives, seven days in advance, which was the fastest time for them to rush back to Liaodong from Wuhuan.

Running along the way is indispensable, but Qinghua is used to following Zhang Qi's expedition, this small scene has no effect on her at all, if the bride can't get out of the frame, she can still perform a 300-mile journey in a day.

Seven days later, the welcoming team arrived in Liaodong, as a member of the family sending team, Zhang Qi was also among them, the marriage needs to be attended by the mother's family, although Zhang Qi can have many 'sisters', but he does not need to have an extra pair of parents.

In addition to accepting the groom's kneeling as the bride's elder this time, he also had some things to discuss with Zhang Yi.

Since the income from the world's dinars can no longer meet the current territory of nearly 300,000 people, trade must be put on the agenda.

Before the next harvest of Xianbei's farmland, trade became Zhang Qi's top priority.

There were not many goods he could provide, and the liquor he hoped for was not loved by the Han magnates, who were more fond of rice wine and fruit wine than the hot liquor.

These were transmitted back to Wuhuan as early as when the weaving net penetrated inland with the help of merchants.

The market of liquor can't be done, but the syrup and salt are very popular, and the salt mines in the world can produce fine refined salt, and the syrup is because of the sweetness of this characteristic quickly became popular throughout Youbeiping.
