After eating the hot pot, the uncle and nephew of Qin Sheng, the uncle and nephew of Qin, walked out of the governor's office. When the cold wind blew, the purple round-necked official robe could not resist the cold air. The uncle and nephew couldn't help but tremble.

"How did you agree to Qin Sanlang just now? Our tribe has more than 10,000 slaves. If you really want to sell them, you have to sell them for tens of thousands of dollars!" Qin Guosheng complained a little.

"Uncle, Duke Yiguo has already spoken. Can we still not let Han slaves go?"

"But he also said that he would give it according to the market price."

"But he only got 10,000 yuan of tickets, and his uncle thought he would really not be able to make up for it?" Minister Qin thought he could understand the ideas of the Han monarchs and ministers. Now his father is in Chang'an, and there are also Tang garrisons in Fengzhou, not to mention that Qin Lang had just sent several troops to defend the periphery of Fengzhou.

In fact, the back trap has been surrounded by the Tang army.

If you offend Jie Li there, will you offend the Tang people here?

If you really want to make Tang people turn against each other, it’s just closing the door and beating the dog.

Qin Lang's ten thousand stale money was already considered as giving them face, so he stopped when he saw it.

"Impossible?" Qin Guochang touched his head, not very convinced.

"Uncle, don't just stare at those few Han slaves. Although that can be worth some money, it's just a few slaves after all. We have invested in Tang now, and the trade is booming, and we have a lot of money. This first transaction will be worth ten thousand yuan, and there will be some in the future."

This ten thousand yuan is just the share of Qin Lang for them. This does not include their own transactions of cattle and sheep. Which of the Qin ministers’ family is not a ten thousand camel and horse, and tens of thousands of cattle and sheep.

In the past, due to the size of the border market, I couldn’t even sell it even if I wanted to sell it. I didn’t want it for free. Now it’s different. I just come and collect it directly. The price is pretty good, and everything can be sold for money. What a great thing.

Therefore, Minister Qin was quite satisfied with the status quo.

Not only did they maintain the Caochang tribe without being annexed by Jie Li, they could also maintain their position as the leader of their family, not to mention that they were all saved. Now they are just handing over Han slaves. Without Han slaves, they also have Turkic slaves Tiel slaves Sogdian slaves!

"Let's go back and send the orders to Tang Jun, and don't delay."

dusk.

Yugu was milking the cows. The owner Gu Dulu returned from grazing every evening. Yugu went to milk the cows with other slaves.

Milking is a very hard job. Every day before dawn, I have to get up and milk for the first time. The owner Gu Dulu's family has more than 100 cows, more than 30 horses, more than 10 camels, and more than 2,000 sheep.

In the tribe, this is a relatively wealthy herdsman family. Gu Dulu has seven brothers. Because they are all grown up, they have long been separated. His father lives with Gu Dulu, who is the youngest son.

Gu Dulu had a Turkic wife, six concubines, two Turkic women, one Tiel woman, one Sogdian woman, one Han woman and one Xianbei woman.

He also has many children, and has given birth to more than a dozen children. Some have already started a family and married wife, while others have gotten married.

Many children are young and not married, so the eldest and second brothers who have started a family have not yet been separated. Therefore, this is a huge family with a large population and a large number of livestock.

Gu Dulu and his six brothers formed a tribe of about 160 or 70 people. They grazed on a pasture worth dozens of miles. This pasture was the pasture for their family tribe. Seven brothers lived more than ten miles apart and occasionally gathered.

Gu Dulu had seven wives, concubines, and more than a dozen children, as well as thirteen slaves. Among these slaves, there were seven Han slaves like Yugu.

Yugu is in the Turkic language, which means precious.

His real name is Yuanzhen. He was once a clerk in Fengzhou of the Sui Dynasty. When Yujuluo guarded Fengzhou, he once did not dare to approach the Turks and did not even dare to touch the border.

But later, the Sui Emperor Yang Guang was indestructible and the world was in chaos. Fengzhou's beautiful pearls became a pasture for the Turks again. Yuan Zhen was also captured in the attack of the Turks, and then sold to multiple Turkish masters, and finally settled down in the Gudulu family.

Gu Dulu was not bad for him, so he changed his name to Yugu. Because he could read and write, he was the same job as a housekeeper. However, the housekeeper also had to milk cows and goats.

Asu came over, "I heard from the master that a caravan is coming, so I asked you to go back and receive it quickly."

She is also a Han slave, and her family is from Mayi.

After arriving at Gudulu, the master asked the two to pair up. A poor couple also gave birth to five children here. The seven Han slaves of Gudulu's family were their family.

However, this does not mean how good Gudulu is. In their eyes, it is just like managing cows and horses and giving birth to cubs, which is just a way to increase value.

The children born are their slaves since childhood and work for them. They can still be sold when they grow up.

Today, Yugu and Asu are completely like Turkic people, with dirty sheepskin robes and even their hairstyles have changed.

The once elegant frontier civil servant is now portrayed by the Feng Dao and Frost Sword. His skin is rough and dark, and he always has a fishy smell on his body.

Carrying a bucket of milk, Yugu first sent the milk back to the milk room, where there was a female slave who was making ghee. A bucket of milk had to be thrust up and down thousands of times before a small amount of ghee was produced. These ghee were good things that the owners enjoyed and were also good things that the herdsmen kept for trading salt tea.

The ten-year-old daughter Yu'er was burning water with dry cow dung while on her side. Her face was flushed and there was a piece of dry cow dung hanging on her hair.

Yu Gu went over and touched her face, then took off the dry cow dung from her hair.

"Aye, I just heard that a caravan was coming and the owner wanted to sell us. Is it true?" Yu'er was very frightened. She knew that slaves were often bought and sold. If they were disobedient in their work, or if someone offered a high price, the owner would sell them at any time.

She didn't want to leave Grandma, she was afraid of the outside world.

Yugu rubbed his daughter's head and felt ache in his heart. What a cute daughter. The treasure in his heart is just someone else's grass. He started working since he was a child and was whipped a lot. He often couldn't eat enough or wear warmth, and was often punished to sleep with sheep.

I am ten years old and don’t know how this child survived.

He stared into his daughter's eyes, "Yu'er, dad won't let his master sell you. Dad will beg the master to keep you. You are a good worker."

Yu'er nodded and lowered her eyes.

Yugu left the milk chamber with great thoughts and came to the owner's tent.

Gu Dulu's family was sitting in the tent, with cow dung burning in the fire pit, and an iron pot was set up on it. This was a treasure that Gu Dulu's wife cherished very much. Ordinary herders did not have such an iron pot at home.

This kind of iron pot is very good to cook milk tea or stew mutton.

"Yugu, I have something to tell you!"

Gu Dulu held a porcelain milk tea cup in his hand, and this set of porcelain is also one of Gu Dulu's wife's treasures.

"Dear Master, Yugu obeys your orders!"

Yugu lowered his head and said.

"I just received a message from Yu Sheshi, asking the entire tribe to send Han slaves to Fengzhou."

Yugu's heart moved, but he held back and showed no expression.

"What do we do?"

"Yu Shexie joined the Tang Dynasty and was named Prince Huaihua by the Emperor of Tang, and was named Qin Guozhong. He also worshipped Qin Qiong, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, as his adoptive father. Now Yu Shexie is staying in Chang'an to marry the emperor's sister, so Fengzhou is now Qin Qiong's son. Yu Shexie's righteous brother, Duke Yiguo Qin Lang, came to prosecutor the chief of the school......"

Yugu actually knew this. When a caravan came over before, he asked them about the situation outside and learned about these changes.

Gu Dulu continued, "Now we are all Tang people, Duke Yi wants to redeem all the Han slaves. The eldest son of the county prince has ordered all the Han slaves to Fengzhou. Yugu, you are about to be free. You meet a good emperor and a good official. They are going to redeem you!"

In the valley of desire, no, Yuanzhen felt sad.

Finally, I have waited for this day.

He has been captured and slaved for more than ten years, and has been under Gu Dulu for eleven years. His eldest daughter is ten years old. In fact, Gu Dulu is quite good to him, and it is much better than the masters he met before.

But no matter how good it is, it is just that the master is good to the slave. He is not truly regarded as a human from beginning to end.

Yuanzhen lowered her head and prevented her tears from being seen, "Really?"

"Well, you, your wife Asu, and your three children can all go to Fengzhou. The Prince of Guihua will give us some remedies."

After the order was sent, the people from the Gudulu family also had a controversy for a long time.

Rugudulu's father refused to agree. Minister Qin said he would compensate them, but how much would he compensate? And they were used to Yugu's family, thinking that this family was very gentle and obedient, and Yugu could also write Chinese characters, which could play a great role.

Gu Dulu finally decided to send the person back because the situation has changed now. Even Yu Sheshi ran to Chang'an to marry the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty and accept the title of Prince Huaihua.

Besides, they now trade with Han merchants, selling wool, sheepskin, and even selling livestock have gained many benefits, and this is all change.

Times have changed.

The next morning.

Gu Dulu prepared the horse, carried beef jerky, horse milk, water, and then rode on the horse to set off for Fengzhou. Behind his horse, he didn't sleep all night last night, but at this time, Yuanzhen, who was still extremely excited, was all wrapped tightly and followed Gu Dulu's horse closely.

The snow is thick, the wind is heavy, and the weather is very cold.

But Yuanzhen and his family were both passionate and finally embarked on the way back to their hometown. Even if they were in trouble, they would not hesitate to retreat.

No matter how far the road is, the road is far and difficult, but the way home is exciting.

Yu'er held the hands of her younger brothers and followed her father closely.

"Grandpa, is Fengzhou far away? Is it cold there?"
