Liu Yu smiled and waved his hand: "The difference between strength and weakness, the difference between size and size, has not been a definite number since ancient times, I know that my strength is still very weak now, so I need to fight in the army to fight for more strength for myself, and I will not be bullied in the future." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Yu's heart moved, looked at Murong Nan, and said, "Brother Murong, in this way, this time you and these tribesmen have been in our Great Jin for a long time, and Fu Jian can't control it, and can't detect it?" ”

Murong Nan nodded: "Yes, after Fu Jian founded the country, although he also organized households and people like the Han people according to Wang Meng's instructions, these statistics can only be counted to the family members of each family, and cannot include slaves, family members, and tribes." Just like you Dajin, if you are a family member and tenant like the Diao family, then you will disappear from your two yellow and white books, and for the country, it is a population that does not exist. ”

Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "This is the reason why our Great Jin has repeatedly failed to fully mobilize and make contributions to the Northern Expedition, the land and population of the country are in the hands of the family, as long as they are unwilling, they will not send troops to the Northern Expedition, if they are not facing the war of annihilation this time, I am afraid that Xuan Shuai wants to form the Beifu Army, it is impossible." ”

Murong Nan smiled slightly: "This is what has been done since ancient times, all dynasties and dynasties, you Han people are like this here, and the same is true for us on the grassland, there is no need to pay taxes for slaves, of course, if you make meritorious contributions, such as saving the lord, or fighting bravely, then you can return your freedom." ”

Liu Yu nodded: "But there are so many people, how can your father-in-law maintain it in normal times?" There are more than 2,000 people here, so it's unlikely that they will come en masse. ”

Murong Nan smiled and waved his hand: "You probably don't know, when the world is peaceful, the trade routes are smooth, and there is an endless stream of merchants from the west, east and south, and our guards usually act as guards for those foreign merchants, they are all Hu people, and their appearance is not too similar, the people of our Murong tribe are generally white-skinned, and they are very similar to those Zhaowu merchants from the middle of the river, even the soldiers of the Qin State can't tell it." ”

Liu Yu's eyes lit up: "That is to say, you usually use these tribal slaves as guards for the merchant group to hide people's eyes and ears?" ”

Murong Nan nodded: "Yes, in addition, there are many people who do some inconspicuous jobs such as herding cattle, shepherding sheep, and shopkeepers, as long as the people are scattered, they will not arouse the suspicion of the government, and they will not send people to give orders until the lord needs to mobilize them." ”

The corners of Liu Yu's mouth hooked: "Why should these people be loyal to your Murong family for generations?" Aren't you afraid of someone telling you? ”

Murong Nan sighed: "We are all people who have received the favor of King Wu for generations, when King Wu was framed by domestic traitors and had to go to Qin, the fathers and ancestors of these people all fled with King Wu, and they didn't even want their lives." Therefore, the glory and wealth, gold, silver, silk and silk that King Wu got later, will be taken out and rewarded to them. ”

Liu Yu sighed: "So if King Wu succeeds in recovering the country, you will be the founding fathers and the people of the dragon, right?" ”

Murong Nan smiled and nodded: "That's right, Liu Yu, it's not just by joining the army that you can make meritorious contributions, in our Hu people, as long as you have merit, whether you are a sergeant or a subordinate, you can get rich and noble." ”

Speaking of this, Murong Nan hooked the corners of his mouth: "Liu Yu, if, if we return to the country in Dayan in the future, I want to come to live in Dajin, you, will you pretend not to know me?" ”

Liu Yu was surprised: "How can this be? Didn't we say we'd be brothers? Speaking of this, Liu Yu hooked the corners of his mouth, "Although your brother often loses his temper inexplicably, and even I don't know how to offend you, I know that on the battlefield, you can be entrusted with life and death." ”

Murong Nan looked at Liu Yu motionlessly, his eyes blazing: "You are still angry about what happened just now, do you blame me for being suddenly angry?" ”

Liu Yu sighed: "Actually, it's not just this time, I don't know why, I always feel that sometimes when I want to get closer to you, your reaction is always very strong, it seems to be, it seems that sometimes I am dealing with a girl, and I always have to beware of men and women." ”

Murong Nan was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Liu Yu, are you scolding me for being a girl?" If I hadn't been so familiar with you, I'm afraid I would have pulled out a knife and cut you a long time ago. ”

Liu Yu didn't laugh and shook his head: "But that's how I feel." If you think about it carefully, every time I quarrel with you, I unconsciously want to hook up with you like Tan and them, and hammer my chest. ”

Murong Nan hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "No, in fact, I won't be angry because I am fighting with you like this, because, because you always don't treat me as a brother and as your own person, there is always something between us, do you understand?" ”

Liu Yu's heart moved, and he said: "I, Liu Yu, swear to the sky, I really don't treat you as a foreign race anymore, I really treat you as a brother, I ............"

Murong Nan waved his hand and sighed: "That's it, don't say this again, if you really treat me as your own, you won't want to drive me away several times." Do you know, Liu Yu, I don't want to go back, even if it's back to King Wu's side, because I'm tired of such a driven life, what I want is very simple, that is, pure freedom, to be able to live this life with someone I want to get along with. And that'............"

Speaking of this, a trace of sadness flashed in Murong Nan's eyes: "And you can't give me this." You're always reminding me that it's time to go back to where I came from, and you say, how do I feel when I hear it? ”

Liu Yu laughed and shook his head: "It turns out that this is what you care about, don't worry, after the battle is over, I am willing to use my military merits and title to exchange your status as an expatriate, so that you can live with us in Jingkou forever." ”

Murong Nan's eyes lit up: "What did you say?" You let me live with you in Jingkou? Speaking of this, Murong Nan's eyes suddenly darkened, "No, no, it's impossible, after the war, you will become the son-in-law of the Xie family, and you yourself have to settle down in Jiankang City, how can you let me live in Jingkou?" ”

Speaking of this, Murong Nan turned his face, not wanting Liu Yu to see his appearance, his words carried a trace of unspeakable sadness and loneliness, a kind of sadness from the bottom of his heart: "Besides, your future wife probably doesn't want me to stay in the Jin Kingdom." ”
