"You are also from Gengshi, right? It's cold outside, come in and warm yourself up."
As the big man spoke, he reached out and patted the dark withered grass mat next to him, indicating that Zhao Tuo should go over.
"promise."
Zhao Tuo responded and walked into the house with his luggage.
The man who spoke was about eight feet tall, over thirty years old, with a square face and thick eyebrows, and a simple and honest smile on his face as he spoke.
From Zhao Tuo's point of view, this kind of people generally have no bad intentions and are very enthusiastic about what they do.
Moreover, Zhao Tuo noticed that this man's hair bun was wrapped with brown cloth, and he was also a civil servant.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Tuo put down his things, the big man introduced himself enthusiastically.
"My name is Zhu. Zhu's Zhu. I'm from Yangmuli, Shangyuan Township."
Zhao Tuo smiled and said: "What a coincidence, I am also from Shangyuan Township."
"Hey, where are you from?"
"Chaoyangli."
Zhu had a look of surprise on his face and smiled at another thin black man next to him: "Black buttocks, did you see that they are from Shangyuan Township again? There are three of them."
After saying that, Zhu turned his head again, pointed at the thin black man and introduced: "This man's name is Hei Butt, from Mo Shili in Shangyuan Township. When his mother gave birth to him, she found that the baby's butt was black, so she named him
My buttocks are black, hahaha.”
Several other people in the room also laughed, and a young man with slightly fair skin joked: "You should show us your black buttocks. Is your butt black or not?"
Black Butt was not afraid at all. He really got up from the platform, raised his butt to everyone in the room, and said with a smile: "Come on, Nai Gong is still afraid of you. If you want to see it, Nai Gong will show it to you."
A bunch of cheerful laughter sounded in the room, filling the atmosphere with joy.
Zhao Tuo also laughed.
In this era, the names of common people in Guizhou were quite strange, because they did not have a surname or surname, but generally only had a given name, and most of them chose their names at random.
Or point to things around you, such as "stones, mountains, pillars".
Or it could be some kind of animal or plant, such as "Sunflower, Pheasant, Bird".
It also depends on the child's condition or your own mood when giving birth, such as the "black buttocks" in front of you, or "surprise, joy, or sadness."
Of course, there are some people who are too lazy to name them, so they just let their babies be called after their brother, uncle Ji.
The eldest is called Bo, the second is called Zhong, and so on until the youngest is called Ji.
As for surnames and surnames, those are things only for nobles.
Of course, with the melee between various countries, many former nobles were reduced to civilians, and their descendants also bear surnames.
Just like those like Chen She, Wu Guang, and Liu Ji, just by hearing their names, you can tell that their ancestors were also wealthy.
After everyone finished laughing, Black Buttocks reacted, pointed at Zhao Tuo and said, "That's not right. You said you were from Shangyuan Township, but your accent doesn't sound like it."
"I am Laimin."
Zhao Tuo explained and handed the "test" in his hand to Zhu to look at.
Zhu glanced and nodded: "Yes, it says we are from Shangyuan Township. Although we are Lai residents, we are also fellow villagers."
Laimin, that is, recruiting people, generally refers to immigrants from the six countries.
Attracted by Qin's policies, they left their homeland and came to Qin to settle down and settle down. They would be allocated some land and exempted from corvee service for a period of time, allowing them to concentrate on production.
This policy has been implemented in the Qin State for decades. It has attracted a large number of people from the three Jin Dynasties with very preferential immigration treatment, which has greatly improved the national strength of the Qin State.
However, as the annexation war progressed, this policy was on the verge of being abolished, because Qin no longer needed to attract immigrants from the six countries.
After the six kingdoms are destroyed, all people in the world will be Qin people.
Zhu Yi explained, and everyone suddenly realized that Zhao Tuo's accent was no longer surprising.
Then Zhu started to introduce Zhao Tuo.
"This is the long and the short. They are two brothers."
The two brothers, the elder brother and the younger brother, had their hay mats next to each other. When they heard Zhu's introduction, they both nodded to Zhao Tuo.
As expected, these two brothers are one tall and one short.
But it was different from what Zhao Tuo thought.
The short brother is only six feet eight inches, but he is called "long".
The taller brother is seven feet two inches, but he is called "short".
According to Qin law, men of the same age in the same family cannot be drafted at the same time. But unfortunately, the two have already separated and their parents have young sons, so this time the two brothers were drafted together.
"This is A Niu, from Xiayuan Township."
A Niu smiled at Zhao Tuo to show his friendliness. The man was in his twenties and had a lot of pimples on his face.
"This is a stone."
Shitou nodded without saying anything, looking at the corner with dull eyes, wondering what he was thinking.
"This is Xiaobai, who is also from Xiayuan Township."
Xiaobai is indeed very fair, and the clothes he wears are better than those of the others. It seems that his family background is pretty good.
Although it is not as good as the pampered aristocratic children, the skin color on Xiaobai's face is much whiter than the other people in the room.
He is similar in stature to Zhao Tuo and has a cheerful personality. He was the one who told everyone about Jing Ke's assassination of Qin before and also made fun of black buttocks.
Seeing Zhao Tuo looking over, Xiaobai smiled and said, "Before you came in, I was the fairest in this room. As soon as you came in, I think you should be called Xiaobai."
Zhao Tuo couldn't help but laugh and joked: "That's not necessarily true. Maybe you are whiter than me."
"Okay, then take off your clothes and let me see who is the fairest."
Seeing that Zhao Tuo was also an easy-going person, Xiaobai was no longer worried about his title, so he started joking.
Zhao Tuo smiled and said: "Come here, if you want to see it, go and see the black buttocks. My body is for the bride to see in the future."
As soon as these words came out, laughter rang out in the room again. In just a few words of chatting and joking, everyone got closer.
But there are always inappropriate sounds.
Just when everyone was laughing, a sharp snort sounded from the corner: "Why are you laughing? This is a military camp. This is not a place for you scoundrels to make noise. If you yell again, I will sue you."
The laughter stopped immediately.
Zhao Tuo followed the voice and looked around. The speaker was sitting in the corner of the platform on the left. He was a fat man, about thirty years old, with a round face and a bush of beard under his chin. It was obvious from a glance that he was well maintained.
In addition to his clothes, he also wore a fur coat. Although it was not very new, it was much better than the others in the room.
What particularly attracted Zhao Tuo's attention was that his bun was also wrapped in brown cloth. He was the third official besides Zhao Tuo and Zhu.
Seeing that no one spoke, he sneered and turned his head. Before turning his head, he gave Zhao Tuo a fierce look.
Zhao Tuo thought thoughtfully, I am afraid that his arrival would make the fat man unhappy.
Just when there was silence in the earthen house, the covering wooden door was pushed open again.
A thin young man staggered in.
"Are you also from Gengshi?"
Zhu asked enthusiastically that they were full with just one person left.
When the young man heard the question, he neither nodded nor spoke, but silently raised the wooden stick in his hand to show everyone.
Zhao Tuo's eyes narrowed instantly.
The boy's name is written on the wooden stick.
Between.
The policy of favoring the people comes from "Shang Jun Shu·Laimin". Academic circles believe that this article may have been written in the late period of King Zhaoxiang. There is still much debate about whether Qin ever implemented the policy of favoring the people. The novel is selected according to the needs of the plot, and it is only the opinion of one family.
