I'm about to become an immortal, do you want me to be a prince?

Li Lizhi's small face was confused for a while, "Why buy wool?"

"Knitting a sweater."

"How to weave?"

Li Mu took out two bamboo sticks on the spot and taught Li Lizhi how to knit a sweater.

Li Lizhi was shocked at that time, as if the door to a new world had been opened.

It turns out that two simple bamboos can still play like this?

Like getting a novel toy, Li Lizhi had a great time playing with it.

Li Mu smiled, the little girl is easy to deceive.

The carriage entered Mingde Gate and headed all the way towards Suzaku Street.

The destination here is Xishi, Chang'an County.

There are two cities in Chang'an City, East and West, which are located in Chang'an County and Wannian County respectively.

In fact, the East Market and the West Market are no different. They are both places where we can communicate with each other. The difference lies in the customer base.

The East Market is mainly for high-end customers, and the West Market is mainly for ordinary people.

That is the difference between high-end luxury goods and everyday goods.

Li Mu's destination, Xishi, belongs to the daily commodity area.

Although the commodities are common in daily life, there are many categories and everything that one expects to find. After all, there are so many people.

After all, the base of ordinary people is still much more than that of dignitaries.

Therefore, the West Market is generally more lively than the East Market.

The three of them soon came to West Market.

Looking around, the whole thing is a person.

The hustle and bustle is like going to a New Year's market.

The point is that this state seems to be the norm, almost every day.

Li Mu couldn't help feeling that Chang'an was really extraordinary, and that it was worthy of being a holy place for all nations to come to pilgrimage recorded in later generations.

The reason why Li Mu chose this place is because it is lively and there are all kinds of people, for example, people from the crooked country.

Prairie people to be precise.

The grassland is huge and there are many ethnic groups.

But they all have one thing in common, that is, shepherding.

There are no [-] sheep at home, so you have the nerve to say that you are from the prairie?

So if Li Mu wants to buy wool, he must come here to find these prairie brothers!

Soon Li Mu found a prairie brother who sold blankets.

Li Mu hurried over to say hello with a smile on his face.

"Hey, fellow, how are you!"

The prairie brother was wearing a felt hat and an animal fur coat, with a straight nose and deep-set eye sockets, showing distinctive ethnic characteristics.

I saw this prairie brother with a confused face and question marks all over his head.

fellow?

What the hell is the fellow?

As a Hu businessman, proficiency in Chinese is the most basic skill, but why have you never heard of someone calling "Old Township" when meeting each other?

However, this does not prevent him from communicating.

I saw the prairie brother rushing over to greet him, and said with a smile.

"Your honored guest, I dare to ask if I want to buy a blanket."

"No no no."

That buddy was taken aback, what are you doing here without buying a blanket, just about to spit thick phlegm on the ground and look down on Li Mu, when he glanced at Li Lizhi next to him out of the corner of his eye.

Subconsciously swallowed the thick phlegm in his mouth.

What the hell, seeing this little lady in all her clothes, the well-informed Jakir could tell instantly that this little lady was either rich or expensive, and she couldn't be offended, couldn't be offended.

After swallowing the thick phlegm, Jakir asked with a smile, "Then what advice does the distinguished guest have?"

"I want to buy wool."

What?

wool?

Can this thing be sold for money?

Jakir almost asked Li Mu if you want to buy body hair?

Li Mu is not interested in body hair, but the more wool the better.

"I don't know what the guest wants to buy wool for?"

"You don't need to know, just tell me if you can get wool."

"Yes, yes, but I don't know how much the guest intends to pay?"

"This number." Li Mu stretched out a palm.

"Five words?"

"Yes, five cents a catty, I'll take as much as you can get, there is no cap."

"Really...really?"

Jakir's whole body is almost wet, five cents a catty, what the hell, I go to the grassland and give him a penny or two, and I can charge him more than ten catties. This business is really profitable.

"How about it, do you want to do it?"

"Fuck it."

You'd be an idiot if you didn't.

"Well, here's the deposit, and I'll come back to you in a month."

After speaking, Li Mu threw a money bag to him, then turned around and left.

He wasn't afraid that the Hu merchant would run away after taking his deposit, mainly because he didn't give much, so he ran away as soon as he ran away. If he didn't run away and came as promised, it would prove that this guy is an honest person and can continue Cooperation can be regarded as a trial.

After leaving Jakir's booth, Li Mu took Li Lizhi to a carpenter's booth and showed the carpenter a drawing.

It's a pity that the carpenter shook his head slowly after reading it.

After Li Mu put away the drawings, he looked for another booth, and showed the drawings to another carpenter, but he still got a shaking head reply.

so repeatedly.

Li Mu took Li Lizhi and Fu Bo to many stalls, including carpenters, blacksmiths, craftsmen, etc.

But neither got a nod in reply.

Is the plan dying?

Li Mu showed disappointment, he was looking for a craftsman to make a batch of utensils for processing wool.

It is the kind of utensil that combs wool into wool, and then improves the loom.

As a result, he looked up to the craftsmanship of the craftsmen of this era.

Just when Li Mu was at a loss, Li Lizhi spoke up.

"Brother Mu wants to make utensils?"

"Yeah, it's a pity that I can't find a satisfactory craftsman."

"I know a great craftsman, why don't you leave it to me?"

"Really?"

"Yeah!" Li Lizhi nodded seriously.

Although Li Mu didn't quite believe it, he still handed over the drawings to her, treating her like a dead horse and a living horse doctor.

After Li Lizhi took the drawings, she went to the Ministry of Industry to find Duan Lun the next day.

"Get it done for this princess!"

Chapter 20 Winter is finally here!

The winter of the second year of Zhenguan.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the spies have come to report that there is really heavy snow on the grassland and the road is blocked. The Turkic people have been hit by the snow disaster, and more than half of the cattle, sheep and livestock have been killed or injured."

"really?"

"It's true."

"Hahaha! God bless me, Tang!"

Li Shimin laughed wildly happily.

Although he didn't fully believe what Li Mu told him before, he was always paying attention, and was more or less preparing in this direction.

Because of copying the bottom of a wave of grain prices, plus the harvest of potatoes.

With mental calculations and no intentions, Datang is now in a much better situation than the Turks.

Under the ebb and flow, this battle must be won.

"Call Li Jing to see him immediately."

"Here!"

Soon, Li Jing and Li Tianwang came to see Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, do you want to send troops?"

"Haha, the one who knows me is Li Yaoshi!"

Then the monarch and his ministers muttered for a long time, and finally decided to send troops to do it for him.

So after Li Jing returned to the office of the Ministry of War, he immediately sent an official document to dispatch Chai Shao and Xue Wanche to lead troops to suppress Liang Shidu.

As for whether to continue to send people to instigate rebellion, Li Shimin was a little hesitant, thinking he should ask Li Mu again.

In case the instigating rebellion fails, it's not a big deal to give away the head for free, but it's a big deal to show one's feet.

So Li Shimin quickly changed his clothes and went out to find Li Mu.

......

Chang'an City.

West Market.

Hu merchants in Xishi have been very busy recently.

For some unknown reason, there has been a wave of wool buying in Chang'an City recently, which is really unbelievable.

"Jakir, has a new batch of wool arrived? When it arrives, take me to the warehouse to have a look. If the quality is acceptable, I will find someone to transport it away later."

"Honorable nobleman of the Han family, the wind and snow have been too heavy recently, and the transportation along the way is very labor-intensive. Can the nobleman increase the price? Hehehe..."

Li Mu stared, hehe!Still want to increase the price?

Who else will buy your wool but me?

So Li Mu said calmly, "If you don't want to sell it, I can buy it elsewhere."

"Sell, sell, sell!"

Jakir quickly agreed, for fear that Li Mu would stop buying wool from him.

Although five cents a catty of wool is a little less, the key point is that the wool is worthless outside the Great Wall.

Jakir's purchase price does not exceed a penny, and sometimes he gives local herdsmen some special products from the Central Plains, and they send him a carload of wool.
