Sensing the other party's obvious bad tone, Liu Wenxi changed the subject, already confirming in his heart that this foreigner was a hot potato.

But Liu Wenxi didn't think Shu Jin would compromise with them at all.Now Pingcheng is being reclaimed on three sides, and the north side is deliberately left for these aliens.Although Pingcheng is poorly built, it has a lot of space, more than enough to accommodate them.

The names, ages, and features of everyone living in the city must be registered, there is a daily curfew, and there are patrols in the morning and evening.The gates of the city are guarded by sergeants, entering and leaving the city requires a permit issued by the palace, and the number of people entering and leaving the city every day must be carefully checked to avoid abnormal changes in personnel.

The management of Pingcheng is similar to Chang'an, just to ensure safety.The most insecure factor now is the aliens, how could Shu Jin let them out?

Liu Wenxi accompanied the Sushen people into the city, sent them to the resettlement site, and took the two leaders to the palace.The old woman was a priest in the tribe, and now the Andun tribe was left behind.

"The prince is waiting inside, so I won't go in." Liu Wenxi sent them to the gate of the palace, in order not to reveal his identity, he found an excuse to slip away.

"Your name is Wang Xin." The leader who had been silent before said, his tone was similar to that of the priestess, and he was obviously not familiar with Daqi's language.

"Yes." Liu Wenxi's face didn't change color at the moment, and when they went in, he quickly went around with two guards and entered the yard from the side door, went back to the room and changed into his daily clothes, then went in from behind the living room, hiding behind the screen back.

When he came in, Shu Jin was chatting with the two chiefs. Hearing the movement from behind, Shu Jin took a look and knew it was Liu Wenxi just by hearing his footsteps. Did not call him.

"It's inconvenient for the princess to see a foreigner, please forgive me, both of you."

Hearing what Shu Jin said, Liu Wenxi simply pretended to be a quail and sat behind the screen in an indecent posture, no one saw it anyway.

The two patriarchs couldn't understand Daqi's red tape. Why did men and women have to be separated?But now that they have entered Pingcheng, they are already in the mouth of a tiger, so naturally they can't refute on such trivial details, so they just nodded to express their indifference.

"Just now we heard that the prince has arranged a place for us in Pingcheng." The one who spoke was the chief of the Xianbei tribe who was captured earlier, his Chinese name was Mo Chong.The Liaodong region was ruled by the Xianbei people for a long time, but it was also ruled by the Central Plains dynasty for some time. Therefore, the people here were named similar to the Xianbei people, and they were renamed Chinese names when they were ruled by the Han people.

Mo's surname is Monalou in Xianbei language, and the original name of the patriarch can't be remembered at all.

"Although the houses of the Han people are good, our people are used to living in tents. I hope the prince will let them live in tents outside the city." Mo Chong is a cousin, and his Chinese name is Mo Zexu.Mo Chong's tribe used to have 600 people, while Mo Zexu's tribe used to have nearly a thousand people. When the Xianbei people came, they still had the strength to fight, so fewer men were taken away.

"There is an open space in the north of the city." With one sentence, Shu Jin directly conveyed the meaning of the two patriarchs to the horizon. They didn't want an open space, but they felt that living in the city was not reconciled to being governed by others.But when Shu Jin said this, they were too embarrassed to say that they just didn't want to live in the city.

"Living in the city has plenty of water, and only people in Pingcheng can buy salt, food and cloth." Daqi is not an official salt seller, but due to technical limitations, the price is still not low, and the supply is limited. You have to go to the city to buy it.

What these aliens living in the mountains lack most is salt and cloth, which used to be bought at high prices from merchants.And the person Shu Jin sent to deliver the food also brought these supplies at the same time, making most of the clansmen want to come out and take a look.After hearing what Shu Jin said, the two patriarchs fell silent.

"I know you still have doubts about me, but farming here is a profitable business for you, and all risks are borne by me." Shu Jin didn't mention the previous enmity, this indelible thing, Don't stress it out.

"The two of you are exhausted all the way, why don't you go back and rest first, and give me an answer as soon as possible, time waits for no one, it would be bad if you miss the best time to plant seeds."

The two patriarchs looked at each other, and finally listened to Shu Jin's advice. Shu Jin sent them out and took them to meet the ten children who were detained in Pingcheng.

"It doesn't look easy to deal with. If we don't have any hostages, I'm afraid they won't come." Seeing them leave, Liu Wenxi came out from behind the screen, yawned and stretched.Almost the whole body was about to be stretched out, like a big cat.

"The people who come here are not kind." Shu Jin said, the people sent to Mo Chong's tribe reported that Mo Zexu's tribe did not lack food, but this time he brought nearly 200 people from the tribe, and most of them were hungry. It was men, and the others were also able-bodied women with few children.

But almost all the people brought by Mo Chong had families, and there were fewer men and more women in their tribe.It seems that the calculations of the two tribes are not the same. Whether they communicate with each other, Shu Jin is not sure.

"It's so complicated." Liu Wenxi said, obviously hating the people of Qi in his heart, so that the people of the tribe could have food, he had to swallow his anger and pretend to be good-tempered.

"Dozens of people died in Mo Chong's tribe in winter. At least he will not do anything until this year's harvest. As for his cousin's tribe, since he entered Pingcheng, there is no reason to go out. The daily patrols in Pingcheng need to be more Be stricter." Shu Jin directly told Liu Wenxi what she thought, and Liu Wenxi nodded after listening, they came here to have something to eat, and they probably won't leave before they get benefits.

"But if they have always regarded this place as a sojourn, they will have to leave sooner or later." Liu Wenxi said, Sushen people think they are a foreign race, and Qi people also take it for granted that they are not my race.Putting myself in their shoes, Liu Wenxi can also understand their feelings.

"In fact, it's not just them, even Qi people have this problem. Most of the people who follow us now are not Liaodong people. Now they come here because of the famine, and most of them want to return to their roots in the future. Sushen people are more used to fishing and hunting, and Qi people are nostalgic. Hometown, if Liaodong wants to develop for a long time, we must let them stay here."

Liu Wenxi nodded after hearing what he said.

"Perhaps the most important thing is to allow the second generation to think that they are from Liaodong." He said that the older people can no longer change, but if their children regard Liaodong as their hometown, the future of Liaodong is still promising.

What's more, today's Liaodong is not the Northeast, and has not entered the industrial society. The geographical advantages here are unique.

The two were silent for a moment, looking at each other.

"Then do you regard Liaodong as your own home?" Shu Jin asked impulsively after careful consideration.

"I don't want to go back to Chang'an...but I think my home should be the newly built Prince Liao's Mansion, not this place." Liu Wenxi's eyes are open. He is a wandering person in this world. I will not return to Chang'an.

"But why is it so strange for you to ask this question? Could it be that you are reluctant to let me go?" Liu Wenxi joked in a humorous way.

The author has something to say: Liu Wenxi: Don’t those foreigners know that Princess Liao is a man?

Shu Jin: Today's focus is not on this.

Liu Wenxi: So what is the focus of today?

Shu Jin: Why do we have to be singled out for cross talk every day?

Liu Wenxi: Ah, I know, maybe someone wants to comment?
