Jiangmen Tianjiao: Reborn with funny ancestors

On the northern grasslands in early autumn, the cattle and sheep are fat, and the herdsmen are already preparing for the winter.

Pastures were cut and dried into hay, and excess livestock was slaughtered in large numbers to be made into bacon.

In just over a month, snow will begin to fall in many places on the northern grasslands.

By then, it will be difficult to find pasture to feed so many livestock.

The transactions in "Yanshiping" are extremely hot.

Herdsmen need to purchase a large amount of salt, especially a kind of coarse salt produced in Ganzhou, which is particularly popular.

It's high-quality, low-priced, and filling in large quantities. Beef and mutton cured with this kind of salt can be preserved for a long time and taste better than bacon.

As for the fine white and crystal clear salt, it is the favorite of the nobles. Since the nobles on the grassland ate the refined salt from Ganzhou, it has been difficult for them to adapt to the bitterness of coarse salt.

Salt was exchanged for large amounts of meat and dairy products.

Since herdsmen come from afar every day, "Yanshiping" has changed its trading from the 15th of each month to daily trading.

This month, tens of thousands of kilograms of meat and dairy products were transported from "Yanshiping" to Yangguan and "Taziwo" military camps every day. Any excess was sold to the mainland of Ganzhou.

The food of the Northwest Army is unprecedentedly good.

They all know that this is because the eldest lady has become the state herdsman of Ganzhou and the "food inspector" of the Northwest Army. Chu Tianjiao's reputation in the military has risen again since the battle at Linhai.

There is also a luxury item in "Yanshiping" - iron pot.

This was the first time that ironware appeared in the "Yanshiping" trading market. Although it was expensive, and an iron pot required a fine horse to exchange for it, demand still exceeded supply.

The news that the iron pot appeared in the "Yanshiping" trading market even shocked the Northern Hu King Dahe Shi Moji.

Beihu lacks iron tools, and many Beihu tribes can only share a kitchen knife for slaughtering sheep.

The few iron resources Beihu had were used to make weapons.

The Li people are so extravagant that they use iron to make pots?

When a noble from the tribe showed Ohashi Moji the lamb fried in an iron pot, Ohashi Moji had to sigh, the lamb fried in the iron pot tastes so good!

But he still thinks that using iron to make kitchen utensils is too wasteful.

Ohashi Moji asked the nobles who came to show off: "Are there any iron pots like this sold in Yanshiping? Send someone there and buy as many as there are."

The nobleman wondered: "Yes, there is, but a pot requires a fine horse..."

"So expensive? What's the difference between Chu Tianjiao and Mingqiang?"

"Khan, do you still want to buy it?"

Ohashi Moji asked the nobleman to bring the iron pot. After weighing the portion, he gritted his teeth and said, "Buy, buy a thousand bites first."

A thousand fine horses were exchanged for a thousand iron pots.

Ohashi Mochi ordered the iron pot to be smashed and forged into a large sword.

But the sword made by Beihu's master blacksmith broke with just one cut.

"Chu Tianjiao, this liar! You actually sold me fake iron?" Daheshi Moji was furious.

"Qi Khan, this iron is real iron, but there are too many impurities. Our Beihu iron-making technology is still difficult to remove the impurities.

But people from abroad can. Not only can Liguo people forge high-purity iron, I heard that Ganzhou has also invented a 'fried steel' technology, which produces weapons that are sharp, strong and lighter than ordinary iron. "

Daheshi Moji's eyes were so jealous that his eyes were red. Unfortunately, he knew that Chu Tianjiao would never teach Beihu the iron-making technique.

Ohga Shimoji looked at the knives that broke when he cut them with disgust, and said to the blacksmith: "You should turn them into iron pots and distribute them to the tribesmen!"

Dahe's Moji disliked these iron pots, but the herdsmen of Beihu loved them very much.

Clay pots are too easy to break, and they really just want a pot that is not easy to burn, so the iron pot trade in Yanshiping continues.

When five thousand high-quality horses were delivered to Yangguan, Chu Yan was surprised and asked Li Kuang, who came to deliver the horses: "Where did my eldest niece get these good horses? There are still five thousand horses." How many?"

"Junior sister exchanged the iron pot with the Beihu people."

"Iron pot? My eldest niece actually traded ironware with the Beihu people?"

"Let me tell you, deputy commander, these iron pots are forged from the iron sand and stone mined from the new iron mines in Qilian Mountain.

This batch of iron sand and gravel had too many impurities and was too laborious to purify and could not be used to make weapons, so the junior sister came up with the idea of ​​selling iron pots to the Beihu people. "

Chu Tianjiao is now blatantly looking for iron ore in Ganzhou.

Unfortunately, in Ganzhou, only a small iron mine was found in the Qilian Mountains. The purity was too low and the cost of refining it into refined iron was too high, so Chu Tianjiao gave up.

Today, this mine can only produce some iron daily necessities, such as iron pots, shovels, and kettles.

Recently, Chu Tianjiao sent people to look for iron ore in Shu, and they really found an iron ore with higher purity for her.

An iron workshop has been built in Shu to make weapons and armor.

Li Kuang had always been involved in the ironware matter, and Chu Tianjiao had no intention of avoiding him.

After Chu Yan listened to Li Kuang's report, he smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed.

In the past, he had always disliked meeting the Li family, but now he was much more pleased with Li Kuang. He even kindly invited Li Kuang to a simple meal at the handsome manor in Yangguan.

Li Kuang asked to meet Lu Yu, only to find out that Lu Yu was not in Yangguan.

Lu Yu was currently in Bayanhot, the royal city of Xirong.

Behind him, in addition to the members of the Phantom and Crow Team, there was also Yossis, the grandson of the great shaman of the Yellow Sheep Tribe.

Because Yosis went to Yangguan to deliver sheep, he met Lu Yu who was about to go on a mission. Considering that this mission required going deep into the hinterland of Xirong, Yosis was a herdsman on the grassland and was familiar with him, so Lu Yu invited him to go with him.

Yousis is willing to follow Lu Yu.

Although it was already known that the beautiful Sanama was disguised by Lu Yu, Yousis still could not refuse any of Lu Yu's requests.

With Jusis's guidance, Lu Yu didn't get lost on the grassland this time.

They disguised themselves as Uighurs and headed north to spy on Xirong's military situation.

When he was approaching Bayanhot, Lu Yu discovered something was wrong. Xirong's left and right Xian Wang and Slaughter King all went to Bayanhot.

In addition, many leaders of large tribes have also been summoned to the royal city. Something big is definitely going to happen.

On the grassland hundreds of miles outside Bayanhot City, small groups of troops can be seen passing by everywhere.

"Your Majesty, this is a sign of a strong army!" Even Phantom could tell that a war was about to begin. "But, Your Majesty, they said they were going to attack Beihu. Does this mean we don't have to fight when we leave the country this year?"

Lu Yu was wearing the clothes of a wealthy Uighur boy. The embroidered thin jacket was inlaid with a circle of white fox fur. There were a few freckles on his crystal clear face. Because of the concoction, his skin color became sallow, and he was completely sick. A seedling.

Perhaps because he had been in the army for a period of time, the femininity in his body disappeared. Before meeting Chu Tianjiao again, he did not like to smile. Now that he is in an enemy country, his face is full of coldness and solemnity. .

He was riding on his horse, glanced at the city wall of Bayanhot not far away, turned around and asked Yusis: "Yusis, are you sure there will be no problem if we use the identity of the son of the Uighur tycoon Shang Jia Jatiman?"

Yosis said: "Uncle Jagatiman led his caravans and traveled through various countries in the Western Regions to do business. A few years ago, he met a Daqin man (ancient Roman) and learned that there was a man in the west who was bigger than Xirong and Away from a more powerful and prosperous country, he took his family to the west and should not come back again.

Not many people know this.

Canaan, the son of Uncle Jiajiatiman, is a sick boy and rarely appears in front of people. Master, if you pretend to be him, no one will recognize him. "

Xirong is a multi-ethnic country. Since occupying the pastures and land of the Uighurs, a large number of Uighurs have become the people of Xirong.

The Jagatiman mentioned by Jussis had a relatively high status among the Uighurs.

After hearing what Yousis said, Lu Yu raised the riding whip in his hand and pointed at Bayanhot City in front of him: "In that case, let's go into Xirong King City to explore."

Crow, who was pretending to be Lu Yu's follower, swallowed his saliva and reminded: "Xiao Lu, the deputy commander asked me to ensure that you return safely.

Along the way, haven't we found out that Xirong is preparing to go to war with Beihu?

King Youxian's troops have crossed Langjuxu Mountain and are gathering eastward.

We have already sent the news back to Yangguan, should we go back?

Would it be too much for us to sneak into the royal city directly? If something happens to you, how can I explain it to the deputy commander? "

As the leader of this service team, Wu Wu had never carried out a mission to such a dangerous place as Xirong King City, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

He already knew Lu Yu's identity, and the psychological burden was quite heavy.

A look of perseverance flashed in Lu Yu's eyes and he said: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch the tiger's cub? I'm worried that this is Xirong's strategy to attack the east and attack the west. Now that we are here, it is best to understand Xirong's battle plan."
