Under the leadership of Dongliang Doctor Fan Hu, Li He and the Hu clan members arrived at the city on the west side of the ferry, namely Dongliang City.

Shaoliang is just a small country. Even if Dongliang is a relatively prosperous city in the former, the city area is not large.

According to Fan Hu, the north and south walls of Dongliang City are about two miles, and the east and west walls are slightly narrow, about one and a half miles away. The whole city is generally rectangular.

Li He secretly estimated in his letter that the north and south walls of Dongliang were about 800 meters, and the east and west walls were about 600 meters, with a total area of ​​about 520,000 square meters, and a contract of nearly 800 acres of land.

I have to say that Dongliang City is really a small town, not as good as the small town where Li He once came from.

But even such a small city is enough to accommodate 3,000 households, or even more.

Of course, the premise is that the food must be managed.

In this era, the only factor limiting the population size of the city was not the only factor, but also the acquisition of food and grain output were decisive factors.

Crossing the moat outside the city, the group entered the city through the East City Gate.

At this time, what appeared before everyone was rows of low earthen houses, and there were almost no wooden buildings.

During this period, many local people stood in their yards and looked out, looking curiously at Li He and the Hu family.

Seeing that Old Fox's face became increasingly ugly, Doctor Fan Hu quickly explained: "Old Fox, this is just an outer city..."

The so-called three-limit city, seven-limit Guo, the city refers to the inner city, that is, where only people with status with royal families, nobles, clans, and gentry are qualified to live; while the Guo refers to the outer city, that is, where ordinary civilians live, the ratio of the two is generally three to seven.

In this era of strict hierarchy, this rule is insurmountable.

Take Li He, Li Ying and Peng Chou as an example. As their identities, they can only live in the outer city. However, Li He and others have been accepted by the Hu clan and have been accepted as members of the clan, so they are naturally qualified to live in the inner city.

Going west along the Loess Road, not long after, everyone saw a high wall again, which was the high wall that separated the inner city and the outer city.

After passing through this high wall, everyone finally arrived at the inner city.

Compared with the low-rise earthen houses in the outer city, most of the houses in the inner city are made of wooden buildings, which makes Old Hu's face look better.

"There is still room in the west of the inner city. Let's lead you all."

"Dr. Fan is here."

Under the leadership of Fan Hu, everyone arrived at the west side of the inner city soon.

Standing at the intersection of the street, Fan Hu pointed to a street leading to the south and introduced to Hu Lao: "This place was originally named 'Mengshili'. It was previously lived by the Meng family. After the Meng family moved to Fanpang last year, it was empty..."

"What's the reason?" Li He asked curiously.

"Well..." Fan Hu hesitated for a moment and replied with a smile: "...there are various reasons."

“…”

The old fox and his son looked at each other and felt something was wrong again.

Seeing the strange colors on the faces of the father and son, Fan Hu coughed, exposed the matter and introduced: "There are probably 150 households in Mengli, which is enough to accommodate the Gui family... It's getting late, so you might as well go in and settle the tribe first. Fan has something to do, so he will say goodbye first."

Although Mr. Hu was in a complicated mood at the moment, he couldn't force him to stay, so he squeezed out a smile and said, "Dr. Fan is here. Since that's the case, we will settle the tribe first... I believe there will be some places to trouble Dr. Fan in the future. Please take care of him at that time."

"This is natural." Fan Hu made a promise with confidence, and then left with his entourage.

Looking at the back of the doctor Dongliang leaving, Li He said to Hu Fei with a strange expression: "Why do you feel like you have been deceived?"

Hu Fei smiled bitterly on his face.

In fact, when Fan Hu was vague about the move to Fanpang by the Meng clan, he felt something was wrong, but what could he do? He, the Hu clan could no longer return to Wei State.

"Anyway, let's settle the tribe members first." The old fox sighed with a cane.

Later, after walking into the Meng family, Li He discovered that there was actually more than one street inside. In addition to the main street they entered, there were two streets and alleys on the east and west sides. However, these two streets and alleys were only connected to the main street in the Meng family and were not connected to other streets.

The advantage of this layout is that as long as the troops are deployed at the entrances and exits of each "li" can be guaranteed to the greatest extent and protect the tribes of each clan. The disadvantage is that they do not understand each clan, and there will naturally be no exchanges between each clan and family.

But in general, Li He believes that the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, and at least it can be guaranteed in terms of safety.

Soon, everyone came to a deep house in the Meng family, which was the largest mansion in the entire area. It was supposed to be the mansion where the Meng family once lived.

The old fox stood outside the mansion and took a look, then approached the mansion and nodded with satisfaction.

Perhaps this mansion is one of the few places he is satisfied with Shaoliang.

If nothing unexpected happens, this deep house will become a clan house of the Hu clan. In addition to living in the Hu clan, Hu Fei and his son, the clan holds banquets and sacrifices, including offering sacrifices to the ancestors of the Hu clan and the spiritual positions of the clan members of the Hu clan.

After the clan house was confirmed, the old fox and the old people in the clan rested in the house, while the Hu Fei took Li He and the rest of the clan members to start distributing households and settled the clan members.

Even Li He and Hu Fei also distributed him a small house with a yard. According to Li He's visual analysis, it was probably slightly more than 100 square meters to have a house with a yard.

What's more important is that the small house that the fox paid to Li He was next to the clan's house, which shows his importance to Li He.

In response to this, Li He hurriedly said: "Uncle Fei, you can't do it..."

Before he could finish his words, Hu Fei smiled and said, "What's the point? You could have a better place to go, but you are willing to come to this small country with my Hu family to suffer. I have long regarded you as my nephew..." As he said that, he couldn't help but repeat the old tune: "It's a pity that Uncle Wei has only one daughter and has already gotten married, otherwise I will definitely promise you my daughter..."

Li He was so amused and crying, after all, he had no idea how many times Hu Fei said this.

While respecting Li He, Hu Fei did not forget Li Ying and Peng Chou, the two followers of Li He, assigned a small house that was roughly the same as Li He, to the two, on the same side of Li He.

As the same goes for the words, compared with other houses in the Meng family, these three small houses may not be large, and location is the key.

Li Ying also understood this and said to Hu Fei in a somewhat flattering voice: "I dare not take it, I dare not take it. I voluntarily follow Ahe. Since Ahe has already been assigned a house, we can live in him. Uncle Fei should give these two houses to his clan members."

Hu Fei smiled and said, "You two will get married sooner or later. Will the Jieshi and his wife still have to stay at Ah He's house?"

"This..." Li Ying was convinced, and finally accepted Hu Fei's kindness with gratitude and emotion.

I have to say that Hu Fei is indeed in good condition, so it is no wonder that Li He is willing to call him Uncle Fei, who is worthy of being the future leader of the Hu clan.

When it was almost night, all the people of the Hu clan clans were settled one after another.

Originally, the old fox was intended to kill pigs and birds, so he held a banquet in the clan house he moved into to celebrate his successful move to Dongliang City. However, because the people of each tribe were very tired from traveling a long distance, the old fox finally decided to postpone the banquet and wait for the tribe to adapt to Shaoliang's life first.

That night, the old fox ordered people to kill a pig, cook it with the brought food cauldron, and cook some rice for people of all tribes to share it.

Li He, Li Ying, Peng Chou and others were invited by the Hu Lao to the clan house and had dinner with the Hu Lao's family.

Li He and others also met Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Hu Fei's wife Tian, ​​and the only grandson of this family, Fox Pig'er, who is only in his early 10 years old...

That's right, the nickname of this poor child is "Teng'er". It's probably because the fox hopes to give his grandson a bad name "Little Pig" and hopes that his grandson will grow up healthily and will not die prematurely.

After all, in this era, the child died and the pregnant woman was difficult to give birth, which was also a major factor that hindered the family's growth. Hu Fei's eldest son was said to have unfortunately died, so the whole family loved this boy very much.

Speaking of which, this kid is also Li He's little fan. Since Li He raised a ox cart full of money and was trapped in a mud pit, the kid has become Li He's admirer. Whenever he has the chance, he will run to Li He and pester Li He to teach him martial arts, which is exactly the same as the fox who also pestered Li He.

Li He was also helpless when he was amused and cried. After all, he had not deliberately practiced any martial arts. They were all born. How could he teach this?

"Okay, don't mess around!"

Finally, Boss Fox shouted with a face, stopping his grandson from entangling Li He, and then he invited Li He and the other two to take their seats.

Several men started chatting casually while drinking boiled wine.

During this period, Old Hu said to Li He with a hint of emotion: "...I finally settled down. Ah He, what are your plans next? Do you go to join the army?"

"Yeah." Li He nodded and said, "But, let's go to Zhichuan to see the situation first. Although the season for sowing has been missed, at least it's better to plant some millet. You can still harvest some in autumn... you can also plant some beans."

The old Hu heard it in silence, and then smiled and asked, "Ahe is worried about food? In fact, there is no need to worry about this. Today, I have asked Doctor Fan. My Hu family’s village, fields, and Anyi will be converted into money in the future for my Hu family to use in Shaoliang..."

As he said that, he sighed slightly. Obviously he didn't expect that the fields would be exchanged for much money. It might only be enough for him to use the Hu family in Shaoliang for a while, but what can I do? It's just that Hu family is weak, so Linghu Jun is free to control it.

Seeing that the atmosphere on the table became a little heavy with the old Hu sigh, Hu Fei quickly smoothed out and said, "Ahe doesn't have to worry about his livelihood. With the money and goods brought by my Hu family, it will be more than enough to eat next year. Besides, that Doctor Fan also said that he would give him help... As for what you said to join the army..."
