Daqin: I can become stronger by killing the enemy

Faced with their enthusiasm, Bai Zhong was really flattered, but seeing them so welcoming made him feel warm in his heart.

In the village, even in Changxingli, the neighborhood atmosphere is good and very harmonious.

Fortunately, he is completely different now. He squeezed forward for a while and successfully left the crowd. He is very unfamiliar with them now. He will slowly become familiar with them when he has the opportunity in the future.

The most important thing now is to go home and take a look.

After he left the crowd, he quickly ran towards home.

They cooperated very well and did not pursue him any further, but Bai Zhong came back and soon became one of their topics of conversation.

According to the memory of the original owner, Bai Zhong came to an ordinary courtyard. At first glance, his home looked like a relatively poor family in Changxing. Because of the dilapidated walls and dilapidated gates, the house looked very old.

This is a new home that has spanned more than two thousand years. Bai Zhong thought for a while and was about to open the door, but he didn't expect someone to open the door first from inside.

A girl of about thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing coarse linen clothes and her hair combed into two buns, appeared in front of Bai Zhong.

She was Bai Zhong's sister Bai Lan. She had just heard someone shouting outside that her eldest brother was back and was about to greet her. Unexpectedly, she saw someone in front of her as soon as she opened the door.

In this era, only nobles had names. For convenience, both nobles and commoners have names.

"Brother!"

Bai Lan let out a soft cry and threw herself into Bai Zhong's arms.

"Lan'er!"

Bai Zhong thought for a while and assumed his identity.

My impression of my sister was very vague at first, but now it became clear, and I patted her head gently.

Bai Lan raised her head and said distressedly: "Brother, you have lost weight and become darker."

"I have been fighting, so naturally I have become thinner and darker."

Bai Zhong smiled slightly, he just looked thin, and his strengthened body didn't know how strong he was.

In later generations, he had no sister and only one son. He was reborn more than two thousand years ago and had a little sister, which felt very good.

"Brother, you must be hungry. I'll make you something to eat."

Bai Lan let go of her hand, turned around and walked towards the kitchen. Their relationship between brother and sister was very good.

Bai Zhong followed her and walked into the house.

There are only two rooms in the house, and the interior decoration is very simple. Apart from a low table and a few worn cushions, there is nothing else.

The family is surrounded by walls, which describes such an environment.

Bai Zhong put down the things and went to the kitchen. He saw his sister took out a stick of dried meat and soaked it until soft. She cut a lot of meat slices, then washed a handful of millet and prepared to make a kind of food called millet cake, which is to combine millet and meat slices.

Meat soup stewed together.

"Brother, why did you come in? Thank you for your hard work. Go back and sit down and wait for me."

Bai Lan put down what she was doing and wanted to push Bai Zhong out.

Of course she couldn't push Bai Zhong away, so she walked in to light a fire on the stove and said with a smile, "We'll do it together. It's actually hard for you to be at home alone."

"I'm not working hard."

Bai Lan's nose felt sour: "Brother went to the war just to make me live a good life."

Bai Zhong remembered that when he left Baijiacun, he had told his sister that he must make a meritorious service and come back to change the current poverty situation. Now he finally did it.

"After my military exploits, I should have some reward. Even if I don't, I should have a salary. It seems to be two hundred stones and four hectares of land. How can my family still be so poor?"

"Brother, wait for me for a while."

Bai Lan said and walked outside.

After a while, she came in carrying a clay pot and put it down with a slight gasp.

When I opened it, I saw that there were coins inside.

"These are the reward money from the eldest brother. I still have five hundred coins. I am going to save it for the eldest brother. I can't spend it randomly. I also bought these dried meats in advance and will eat them when the eldest brother comes back."

Bai Lan raised her pretty face, as if she wanted to praise her.

Bai Zhong looked at her lovingly, thinking that this sister is so kind and feels very warm, and said softly: "Lan'er is so kind."

"The eldest brother is the best."

Bai Lan moved the pottery pot back, hid it again, and started cooking millet again. The smoke soon rose.

After everything was prepared, Mao Zhen was brought to the low table. She first filled a bowl for Bai Zhong, and then put all the slices of meat into Bai Zhong's bowl.

"Give me the slices of meat, don't Lan'er need to eat it?"

Bai Zhong asked curiously.

"The meat slices don't taste good. I don't want to eat them. I'll give them to my eldest brother."

Bai Lan served herself a bowl of millet, but no sliced ​​meat.

It takes a long time for ordinary people to have a meal of meat. This girl wants to eat it, but she feels sorry for her brother and doesn’t want a piece of it.

The meat of this era was indeed unpalatable and had no condiments. It was simply washed and stewed, but Bai Zhong didn't care and insisted on sharing half with Lan'er.

Bai Lan had no choice but to take it and ask, "Brother, are you still hungry?"

"My stomach is almost bursting."

Bai Zhong patted his belly and said.

Bai Lan was then satisfied and said, "Yu'er will definitely be very happy if she knows that eldest brother is back."

"Yu'er!"

When Bai Zhong heard this name, a figure quickly appeared in his mind.

That was a woman who was a little older than Bai Lan. Bai Zhong had known her a long time ago. To put it another way, she was a childhood sweetheart.

If I remember correctly, Bai Zhong seems to have said that when he comes back, he will definitely marry the woman named Yu'er.

"Brother, won't you forget Yu'er?"

Bai Lan smiled and said, "She will become my Sister-in-law Qiu from now on."

Qiu Sao means elder sister-in-law or eldest sister-in-law.

"Yu'er is not from Changxing. I will go see her tomorrow. Don't think too much."

Bai Zhong gently tapped her forehead.

Bai Lan asked again: "If the eldest brother can be knighted, will he become a general in the future?"

Bai Zhong said: "It's just a hundred generals, but it's not far from a general."

"Brother is so awesome!"

Bai Lan took Bai Zhong's hand and cheered.

Seeing her like this, Bai Zhong smiled knowingly and rubbed her little head.

——

the next morning.

Bai Zhong woke up early, which was a habit he had developed in the army. He prepared the morning meal and his sister also woke up.

Morning meal is breakfast.

After a simple meal, Bai Lan said that the reward fields had been divided, and she wanted to take her brother to the wild fields to see them.

When he came to Tianlang, Bai Zhong followed Bai Lan's instructions and looked over, and was suddenly surprised.

"These are all my fields?"

The four-hectare field is actually so big.

He stood on the ridge and looked around, unable to even see the end.

However, the productivity in ancient times was low, and the output of grain was not high. Generally speaking, only by expanding the planting area can more grain be harvested.

"Of course, the fields have been allocated, but the field slaves haven't yet."

Bai Lan said: "I'm at home alone and can't farm that much. I want to rent out part of it in the future."

Field slaves are slaves engaged in farming. After being knighted, Tingheli distributes them to people with titles according to their needs.

In addition, when the land is distributed, it cannot be left unused, because the state will take it back when it sees it being abandoned. In addition to using field slaves to cultivate it, it can also be rented to other people.

In the Qin State, there are countless people who have no fields or whose fields have been confiscated.

Such people have no other ability. If they want to survive, they can only rent other people's fields and use grain as rent.

Bai Zhong said with satisfaction: "I didn't expect that I would become a landlord."

Being a landlord in ancient times seemed quite enjoyable.

"Brother, I will take you to find Yu'er!"

There was nothing interesting to see in the field, so Bai Lan took his hand and walked into another field.
