Chapter 94 Favor
In Chengde Acropolis, rows of mud houses gradually took shape, with various workshops, shops, thousands of slave households in the city, and tens of thousands of Wanyan tribes outside the city. A town with a population of 100,000 gradually appeared in the northern region.
The Han, Xi, Bohai, and Khitanese households in the city are now mainly building cities and villages. Later, most of them were farming farmers, a few were craftsmen, and many were originally plundered craftsmen.
But unlike being a slave in the military prefecture of the Khitan nobles, as a slave to the imperial village of the Qi emperor, there was a long time to have a rule. In the future, the farmer would receive some money and silk rewards based on the amount of imperial grain paid, and the same was true for the craftsmen.
Even during the construction of the city, each household also distributed grain and paid money.
Although slaves are not allowed to save money, and they will have to spend money every month, the various shops in the royal house are royal properties, which means that no matter how much reward they are, they will be returned to the royal family, but compared with before, life is simply in the sky and earth.
Nowadays, there are many farmers and craftsmen among the slaves in the teahouses under the straw hut in the city. They take a break from their busy schedules, drink a sip of tea and taste inferior wine, and even inferior wine. They have to use money to measure the amount. After saving a few days of gratitude, they can save one or two cents. After one chew, they can sit and brag for a day and relieve their cravings for half a month.
This is a life they have never enjoyed in their entire lives.
If you say you still want them to be slaves to the Khitan, you are afraid that everyone will fight with others if you are fighting with swords and guns.
Therefore, almost everyone in Chengde Huangzhuang responded. How could these slaves feel like they were arrested?
Moreover, Khitan coins are expensive, they are not good at minting coins and have little copper. They are usually made of Central Plains copper coins. Because coins are rare, they are expensive. The same coins are much higher in the Khitan and the south and north deserts than in the Central Plains.
Like the Central Plains dynasties in Qi, copper coins were strictly prohibited from flowing out. Therefore, most of the Central Plains traders, Hu merchants and Khitan traded with goods and bartered.
These slaves saw more copper coins in just over a month than they had seen in their lifetime.
Even some craftsmen with many labor or very good craftsmanship feel like they are turning over and becoming masters.
Of course, the price in the city is also terrifyingly high and terrifying.
But no matter what, from a real slave to the current imperial village, the situation is like hell to heaven.
In the Acropolis, there are inner villages and outer villages. The inner villages are built with stones. In the outer villages, after all, there is only a wooden house and restaurant. Of course, the drinkers they entertain are officials who manage the imperial guards, generals who take off in the Beining Army, big and small heads of the Great Emperor Wanyan Nu's tribe, etc. They are all people with certain identities.
Now, Lu Ning is also savoring the fragrant tea from the palace on the second floor of this "Chengde Restaurant". Seeing the scene of the Chengde Guard gradually becoming lively, he feels extremely pleased.
Although building a city outside this pass is a huge investment in the early stage and the income should be taken slowly, it is also a huge profit from the perspective of political and military significance. As for the future economic benefits, there is no need to mention it.
Three Khitan beauties in purple-red maids' robes standing behind him, one was Yelu Guyu, one was Yelu Jiuge, and the other was Yelu He Guchen.
Yelu Guyu was obedient and obedient. Lu Ning came to wander around the Acropolis and asked her to serve him. Yelu Jiuge had a good time with her and brought her out together.
I was a little worried. After Lu Ning met Yelu Xizhen yesterday, he took Yelu Xizhen and Han Derang to the place where the horse was buried.
When I came back, I walked around the military camp again, and I didn't return to the tent until dawn, but then I faintly felt that there was a slight gap between the eight female servants in the tent, Yelu Guyu and them, especially the eldest sister Yelu and Guchen, who obviously took the lead in repelling Yelu Guyu. Although I dared not express anything in front of me, when I turned my back to me, the cold war was imagined.
Lu Ning was slightly annoyed, and when he came out, he also called Yelu and Guqiu to accompany him.
While sitting and drinking tea, I suddenly thought of my eight Khitan royal maids, including three women, five girls, and girls. I called out all three women today. However, it was said that they were all young, and they looked like seventeen or eighteen years old, Yelu Jiuge, and even just fifteen.
Looking at the situation outside, Lu Ning suddenly said, "If we can stay outside the Chu River forever and do not disturb each other, what if we stop the troops now? I don't have to destroy the Khitan country and the clan." He shook his fan and smiled mockingly, "What a pity! Even for future generations, I will drive the soldiers and wolves from the north of Liao and the south of the desert, thousands of miles away."
Yelu and Guqiu's three daughters were filled with a storm. Sure enough, the Southern Emperor had the intention to swallow the Liao land, and there was no need to hide his ambition in front of them. After all, the three of them were his spoils and there was no day to return to their hometown.
Even if Emperor Tianzan or the unparalleled hero in the clan leads the army to defeat the Chengde Wei, if you say you will break through Youyun again, there will be little hope, let alone yourself who have been locked in Bianjing at that time.
Nowadays, if you want to say that your own tribe can still go deep into the heartland of the Central Plains and conquer Bianjing, anyone who has seen the formation of the Qi army will not believe it at all.
If I really return to my hometown, I am afraid that the iron hoof of the Southern Emperor who led the Qi army has already broken through the capital city.
Thinking about it, the three girls felt even more sad.
Below, the sound of gongs suddenly came, and dozens of militia soldiers were escorting several Khitan men to parade in the streets. The regiment beating gongs in front were training soldiers and shouting loudly.
However, several Khitan slaves who tried to escape from the quarry were arrested and sentenced to death, but were handed over to the militia, which was used as a living target for the militia during drills, and they were brave enough to see bloody and courage.
The crowd was soon surrounded by the fun, with children, and even throwing the Khitanese with stones.
The crowds of people marching gradually arrived at the long street downstairs.
Suddenly, Yelu Jiuge's body trembled and his pretty face turned pale. However, among the few Khitans who were about to be executed, the man with bloody and staggering steps and obviously severely injured his legs was not her husband Yelu Haiqing?
However, she had never seen her husband in such a miserable state. In her eyes, his husband has always been a great hero and an invincible warrior on the grassland.
Yelu Guyu also recognized Yelu Haiqing. She and Yelu Jiuge became familiar with each other because of their good family.
Lu Ning noticed something strange behind him. A woman suddenly breathed rapidly. When she turned around and saw Yelu Guyu and Yelu Jiuge's expressions, she understood and asked, "Is there anyone you know inside?"
Yelu Guyu reluctantly plucked up the courage, "Yes, Master Long Live, there is Brother Jiu's husband Yelu Haiqing in the middle." He hurriedly said, "Brother Jiu and Yelu Haiqing are already in love. After seeing Master Long Live, Brother Jiu told the slave privately that he would be favored by Master. She was very much looking forward to it. But she never thought that he would be surprised to see him today, so he was surprised. Master Long Live forgives his crime."
After having contact with the Southern Emperor, I felt that although he was terrifying, he was not a moody tyrant. He had seen something strange. If he didn't say anything, he would be afraid of him. Now that he said it, the result would not be worse for Brother Jiu's husband anyway. As for Brother Jiu, after he reminded her, he could only see how she dealt with him.
Only after he finished speaking did Yelu Guyu realize that in his horror, what he said was really humble and completely lost a trace of backbone. It seemed that he was willing to be the toy of the Southern Emperor.
Brother Yelu Jiu, had already knelt down and said in tears: "Grandpa, Immortal, Immortal..." But she couldn't say it for a while. She wanted to beg the Southern Emperor for her husband to spare her life, but when she said this, her husband's fate would be even worse. As for what would happen if she made the Southern Emperor unhappy and what would happen, she didn't care at this time.
But if you follow Yelu Guyu's words and say those words against your will, you will not be able to say them for the time being.
Even though he knew what he said, maybe the Southern Emperor was happy and forgiving his husband.
But if you say you are forcibly occupied by this Southern Emperor, there is nothing you can do, but suddenly turning into a fox and saying those words that please the Southern Emperor but are disgusted, it is not her personality.
Lu Ning looked at Yelu Jiuge and smiled slightly, but he didn't expect that these several exquisite braids had their heads in later generations, and they looked a bit similar to those of avant-garde girls. The cute young woman who was about fifteen years old was quite chaste.
Of course, women who are virtuous nowadays do not mean that they have to die if they are violated by people outside their husbands, especially those in northern countries.
But if he really sent them to be camp prostitutes, he thought that these women would be unable to withstand this immense humiliation and torture and would not want to survive again. Yelu Jiuge would undoubtedly be one of them.
"Okay, you are the closest servant who serves me. Yelu Haiqing's life will be left today, but this is only once." Lu Ning said and shouted to the outside world: "Send Yelu Haiqing who is parading downstairs back to the quarry."
Wanyan Wula responded outside, and the sound of a female guard going downstairs.
Brother Yelu Jiu was stunned, and immediately kowtowed repeatedly, sobbing and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" The gratitude was beyond words.
Looking at this scene, Yelu He Guchen sighed softly and thought, if the person who was going to be executed outside was his husband, what should he do?
