In three months, Wuhuan is no longer the same as when they left.

He walked to the location of his former home, but the leather yurt was gone, and instead it was a house made of wood and stone, with a fence and a fence, square and square, but unfortunately the fence was a little high, and he couldn't see anything in the courtyard.

Asuka stood outside the door and didn't dare to enter, he still couldn't believe it, this was his former home?

Compared to the City Lord's Mansion, yes, there, the distance is the same.

Look at the well, yes, it is the well that he and his comrades once dug, and now there are women who are washing clothes by the well, and I know her, the wife of a senior in the Tiger Army.

"It's my own home, yes, it's changed too much."

Asuka moved closer to the wooden door, raised his hand and knocked twice.

Tuk tuk.

There was a sound of the joints colliding with the wooden door.

A gentle female voice sounded in the courtyard behind the door.

"Who?"

"I, Asuka."

Hearing his wife's voice, Asuka coughed lightly twice in response.

"The head of the house is back, and I haven't received any notice from you." The door was soon opened, and Asuka was greeted by a flat courtyard, not large but a hundred or ten square meters, with stacks of wood for chopping wood, some stone locks for training, and some clothes hanging on ropes to dry.

On the east side of the courtyard were several stone benches and stone tables, on which there was a bowl of simple food, and it was obvious that his wife had just eaten breakfast.

The woman gently helped Asuka share some of the things she had brought back, a few sets of navy uniforms and wartime armor, but the armor was leather, and the chain mail and iron armor had to be stored in the equipment store.

"It's dark, but it's also strong, and I've suffered a lot in the past few months."

The woman sent her things back to the house and thoughtfully brought a wet towel to wipe the sweat off the bird.

Asuka snorted and took it out of his arms: "The training camp is over, and the king gave us ten days of rest, which is military salary." ”

Although he did not have real power, his identity was already a military candidate, and he enjoyed 600 pieces of grain and two stones (made of sixty catties and one stone) in January.

With the current price of Wuhuan at a stable price of one stone and one hundred and twenty yuan, his treatment is good, and it can even be said that he is generous, but this is in exchange for his life.

Compared with the price of rice, the price of meat in Wuhuan Xianbei is much cheaper, sitting on the Daxing'an Mountains and grasslands, which are far more convenient to obtain meat than those of the Han region.

A pound of lean meat is only four yuan, and fat meat is more expensive, but it is only nine yuan.

A coin is a copper plate, and the mint of Wuhuan has already begun to produce it, and the coins made by combining copper and other metals are the best ratio after a long trial by blacksmiths in the world of riding and chopping.

With the city wall of Wuhuan City about to be capped, the hundred industries in the city also began to unfold under the promotion of Zhang Qi and others, if it weren't for the slightly weird accent in this city now, whoever came would have to say that this was a Han Dynasty town.

And it is also the capital of a state.

"Eh, then I'll help the head of the house, since last month, our family's work has been exchanged for coins, and now there are more than 1,000 pieces under the bed, plus these in charge, there are 2,000 pieces, this day is really getting more and more solid day by day.

The eldest sister and Xiaolang are also studying at school, and I heard from a few people who are gentlemen in the neighborhood that their grades are not bad, and they are likely to get the 'Jun Shang Gold' this year. ”

The woman was chattering while taking care of the housework, and instead of being bored, Asuka's face showed a kind smile that was completely different from that in the army.

After talking for a long time, the woman was a little thirsty, so she took out a clay pot from the house, poured the water in the cup in front of the bird into the clay pot, shook it and poured out a cup of yellow and white milk tea.

Asuka took it and took a sip: "Well, fragrant, what is this?" ”

Woman: "This is a tea from a tea shop on the street, boiled with milk, the gentleman said this is called milk tea, last time the eldest sister was rewarded at school, came back and told me to get it, it tastes good." ”

Asuka nodded: "It's delicious." After drinking a cup of milk tea, Asuka looked at the woman: "Hugh Mu has ten days, ten days later, we are going to do a great job for the king, I don't know when we will be able to come back, and the king has said first, this operation is extremely dangerous, if."

I mean, if I don't come back, then you're looking for one, as long as you can be good to the eldest sister and Xiaolang, I don't have a little opinion. ”

After thinking about it for a long time, Asuka still told his own woman what was in his heart.

Hearing Asuka's words, the woman's eyes turned red all of a sudden, but she also knew that it was impossible to persuade her own man, this was the order of the king, the task of the gods.

Dragging the hem of her clothes and wiping the corners of her eyes, the woman forced out a smile: "Eh, I listen to you." ”

After that, the woman seemed to think of something, put the clay pot in her hand in front of Asuka, went back to the house, took some coins, and walked out, and said to Asuka as she went:

"It's rare to come back from the house, I go to the butcher shop on the street to buy some fish and buy some meat, but the head of the house wants to drink? Now there is a wine house, two or three dollars a tael, and the cheap one is tight. ”

"Then buy some and drink some in the evening."

Asuka had a smile on his dark face, although life was trivial, but he cherished it very much and enjoyed it.

The woman walked out of her courtyard and disappeared into the street.

Looking down from a high place, the towering city main building is located in the middle of Wuhuan, and the arc around the city main building is blank, and there are no buildings at this time.

Four straight avenues connected from the four gates on the arc of the outer perimeter of the Lord's Palace.

Outside the blank arc are several circles of well-established houses, similar in style to the Asuka family, most of which are owned by the houses of the Tiger Ben Army and the officials of the city.

The circle is constantly opening outward, and all kinds of shops and facilities are dotted in this disc like stars.

At the periphery of the disc, the city wall, which is fourteen meters high and twelve meters thick, is extremely majestic, and the width under the city wall is slightly narrow, and countless small dots like ants are busy on it at the moment.

The gate tower, the horse face, the female wall, the workers are building these things at the moment, and in almost a year, the ten-kilometer-long wall is finally about to be completed.

The labor force paid is also huge in this era, and the captives who were looted back in the past also have their own identity and origin at this moment, and they have officially become a member of Wuhuan Xianbei.

Their information is recorded in the household register, and they have the same rights and obligations as the herdsmen who followed Zhang Qi in the past.

At the Household Registration Department, an official is registering information for a prisoner who has just saved up enough work.

Between questions and answers, several messages were written on a piece of paper.

"Okay, your information has been registered, now I'll read it to you."

[Name: Mukada]

[Gender: Male]

[Hometown: Group 7, Eighth Street, Wuhuan City, Dawuhuan Mountain, Three Eastern Provinces]

After simply reading the message on the paper to Mukada, the clerk got up and smiled:

"The registration is completed, congratulations on becoming a citizen with legal rights and interests, and I hope that in the future you can work hard for your own happy life, now, you can enjoy the corresponding services like ordinary citizens, if you get married, your children can also be enrolled in school normally."

Listening to the scribe's words, two lines of tears flowed from the eyes of this former captive, who had made great efforts for the walls of Wuhuan City.
