Because there was no pen and paper, Mr. Liu's way of registering was very different, he did not ask his name or what he was good at, but just took out two palm-sized wooden signs from his cloth bag.

"Take this wooden sign, the fish you usually catch, or the firewood you cut and other things, with this wooden sign, you can take it to General Qin to exchange clothes, salt, meat and other scarce items, you must not lose it."

"If the wooden sign is broken, it will be beaten as a slave who kills someone, and you can't rob someone else's, because an extra sign will not do you any good."

It seems that the role of this thing is equivalent to a temporary residence permit, which should be something that Emperor Yu deliberately did in order to maintain order and prevent such things as killing people and cannibalism.

If you make a mistake, you will be stripped of your wooden plaque and dragged to work as a slave or coolie.

I have to say that this method is really useful, but Su Bu was surprised and felt a little strange for no reason.

After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't realize that anything was wrong, so I had to abandon my mind and just think that I was too worried.

Su Bujing and Su Buyi were holding a rough wooden sign in their hands and glanced at each other.

Su Buyi found that the wooden sign in Su Bujing's hand was different from the one in his hand.

The wooden sign in Su Bujing's hand is similar to a circle, and a boxy pattern is carved with a knife in the middle, and the words "Yuan Henry Zhen" are also written on it.

And the brand in his own hand is also round, with a square pattern in the middle, but the four corners of the square do not have the words "Yuan Henry Zhen".

Nothing but a square pattern.

Is there any explanation for this?

Su Buyi was a little puzzled, and immediately asked, "My lord, dare to ask why these two brands are different?" ”

Lord Liu's face changed slightly, and he immediately asked, "Are you literate?" ”

Su Buyi's heart turned a thousand times, and the "yes" on his lips turned into "I don't know" for some reason.

"Hehe, we countrymen don't have a lot of money, how can we have the money to go to the school to read and write, I just see that the things on these two brands are a little different..."Su Buyi scratched his head a little embarrassed.

Su Bujing also helped on the side: "My lord, is there a word written on my sign?" It's so beautiful, I thought it was a flower. ”

Master Liu sat back quietly, neither denied nor affirmed, but said: "Little children, don't be so curious, anyway, I can't explain it to you, just listen honestly." ”

After speaking, Lord Liu glanced at Su Buyi and Su Buyi lightly, with a threat in his eyes, "Is it impossible for me to teach you to read?" ”

Su Buyi immediately lowered his head, shrunk and hid behind Su Buyi, looking frightened.

Su Buyi hurriedly apologized: "Where do we have the guts!" We don't have the life of literacy with mud legs, everything is at your disposal, and I beg the adults to dissipate their anger. ”

Lord Liu saw the cold sweat on Su Buyi's head, and felt a little proud in his heart: "Hmph, I won't harm you, you just have to rest assured, as long as you support Emperor Yu, there will be a chance to read and write in the future!" ”

After Lord Liu said a series of words, he pointed to the knife on Su Buyi's waist and commanded unceremoniously:

"Also, civilians can't take sharp weapons, and your knife must be handed in. As compensation, you can choose a spacious plot of land on Sunny Street. ”

Yang Street?

"Where is Yang Street?" Su Buyi asked.

Lord Liu looked at the knife's eyes glowing faintly, and he also had some patience when he answered: "When this place was built, it was roughly divided into two streets, Yin and Yang, not to mention Yin Street, this Yin Street is where you live." ”

"Yang Street is very crowded, and a palm-sized piece of land usually has to live seven or eight people! You're lucky, if you hand over the knife, I'll be able to draw a piece of open ground for your brother and sister, how about it..."

Lord Liu's eyes flashed faintly, and the threat became stronger, as if to say: Don't toast and don't eat and drink.

Before Su Buyi could speak, Su Buyi behind him said crisply: "Great, big brother, let's quickly dedicate the knife to the adult!" I want to live in a big house! ”

Then, Su Bu snatched the knife from him, and as if he was dizzy, he sent it towards Lord Liu with a snap.

"My lord, can we live in a big house now?"

Lord Liu laughed, stroked his beard and said, "Yes, you can choose a piece of land by yourself, and come to me with the signs of the two of you after you have chosen." ”

Ouch, this little doll is really going to be in trouble!

After Su Buyi pulled Su Bujing back and thanked him gratefully, he took Su Bujing to Yang Street, but he didn't know where to go.

"Yang Street is on your right-hand side, just tell people that I arranged it when you go over." Lord Liu happily touched the freshly arrived knife in his hand, and instructed without raising his head.

"Still on the right-hand side... It seems that Mu San is right, we are all drawn in the Yang Street on the right-hand side. Su Buyi said suddenly.

"Well, that's true." Su Bu said in surprise.

Su Buyi asked: "By the way, you are so kind, you don't seem to want to give the knife out?" ”

"Hehe, what's this, it's just a handful of broken copper and iron, and if you lose it, you lose it." Su Bu snorted and laughed.

Broken copper and iron...

Su Buyi thought about it.

That knife is obviously easy to use, and it is sharp to cut people and thieves. It seems that my sister just sent the knife herself, and she did something tricky...

That's fine, as long as they don't suffer!

It's a good deal to exchange a rotten knife for a temporary home.

Su Buyi didn't ask much about when the knife would break, he led Su Buyi with all his heart, walking in small steps.

There were glowing ashes scattered on the ground, stretching into the unseen distance.

The brother and sister followed this trail and made a good progress in the dark.

Su Buyi stopped curiously, leaned over and twisted the ashes, "It turned out to be made by grinding the leaves of dead trees into powder and mixing them with the ashes left over from the fire." ”

Although it is not lit, it is still suitable for illuminating the road.

"I guess someone from the north got it." Su Buzheng also stopped and stood beside him.

"By the way, what do you mean by Yuan Henry Zhen on the wooden sign?"

Su Buyi was still a little suspicious about the difference between the two brands, he took his own brand and Su Buyi's brand, and his thoughts were a little trance.

The reaction of Master Liu just now was a little fussed, but it was just four words, and it was like stepping on his tail and changing his face, it was really hard not to think about it.

Su Bu was surprised to see that on the four corners of the square pattern, Yuan Heng was engraved up and down on the right, and Li Zhen was engraved up and down on the left.

She knew the meaning of these four words, but she was a little puzzled why such ordinary four words were only engraved on her own brand.

What happens if it's an exchange with the big brother?
