After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

Chapter 377 Difficulties in transitioning from luxury to frugality

Wang Bushi and others were very welcome to such a sensible military supervisor.

Gu Nanxi was very envious. Isn’t this her ideal life?

Mr. Niu, who is envied by others, also has his own troubles.

There are always various letters to be returned from Kyoto!

"I'm very good!"

"You all know my talent! When I first arrived in Yunzhou, everyone was dissatisfied. I showed off and finally easily defeated them! Now in Yunzhou, I can walk sideways! If you have time, you can also come to Yunzhou to travel! With me here, you don't have to worry about anything!"

Lord Niu boasted loudly, but that group of friends would definitely stay in Kyoto and would not come to Yunzhou.

But there was one letter that Mr. Niu had to think twice before replying.

It was a handwritten letter from His Majesty. The content was very simple. It just asked how Lord Niu felt after coming to Yunzhou. Was everything going well? Was he embarrassed by anyone?

Between the options of informing on someone and pretending to be ignorant, Mr. Niu decisively chose to pretend to be ignorant.

Not only that, he also wants to help Gu Nanxi keep this a secret!

There is no way, because his son is still working hard for Gu Nanxi!

[My Emperor, Your Majesty: When I first arrived in Yunzhou, I saw a desolate place. The people were naked and numb, which made me cry! In order to understand the people's feelings, I traveled slowly and in simple clothes. Every ordinary person I met on the road was grateful for the emperor's great grace! ]

Mr. Niu pondered for a moment and continued writing.

[Yunzhou is sparsely populated, and the Han people and the grassland herdsmen are as clearly divided as the Chu River! Fortunately, the Tartars did not go south, and the people of Yunzhou were able to breathe. The politics of Yunzhou is still relatively clear, and I have never heard of anyone bullying the villagers. ]

Up to this point, the author expressed his loyalty to the emperor, expressed the people's gratitude to the emperor, and even vilified the current situation in Yunzhou, but did not leave any target for the general to be criticized!

Next, we will show the plight of Yunzhou to make His Majesty happy.

[But recently, there is something that has troubled the people of Yunzhou! The Tartars are playing tricks and forbid the tribes to sell wool to Yunzhou. Yunzhou's finances are tight, does His Majesty have any instructions? ]

Lord Niu wrote the letter and handed it to the postman after the ink had dried.

It happened that Niu Jinyi had just returned from the academy. Lord Niu proudly swayed in front of him for a few times, and then gave Niu Jinyi a slap on the head: "Stinky boy, I've been so worried about you! As your father, there are still many things you can learn from me!"

Leaving Niu Jinyi with a puzzled look on his face, Lord Niu staggered to Baiwei Restaurant to eat a box lunch!

They left in such a hurry that they didn't bring the cook with them. As for Mrs. Niu's cooking skills, let's not talk about it!

The winter in Yunzhou is cold but also has a hint of worldly feeling.

Many children like to go out and play in the snow. They make snowballs, one group plays the role of Yunzhou's special forces, and the other plays the role of the Tartars, and the two sides start a snowball fight.

But no matter how great the disparity in strength is, the group that plays the Yunzhou cavalry will always win in the end.

Winter on the grassland is different.

The herders actually don't like winter.

Although they don't have to graze in winter, winter is often synonymous with death.

Snowflakes fluttered in the sky, falling on the stiff corpses, taking away their pure souls.

In the Tashi tribe, the herders poked their heads out of their yurts and looked around.

"Why hasn't the bearded man come yet?"

"It should be soon. It was around this time last year when the bearded man came to our tribe!"

"I wonder what he will bring this time? There will definitely be salt, and maybe even canned food from Yunzhou!"

"You actually want to buy canned food from Yunzhou. Are you ready for that much money?"

"I sold the wool to Yunzhou before the Khan informed us!"

Others were surprised: "When did you leave? I never saw you leave!"

"I asked someone to bring it over." The herdsman did not say who he asked to bring it over, and no one else asked.

The last time the Khan's tribe sent over were black cavalrymen, each one of them was very fierce!

The herdsmen knew that neither the Khan nor the chief liked Yunzhou, so they only talked briefly about it for a few words and did not continue the topic, but looked forward to it.

The snow and wind this year are much stronger than in previous years.

At this time of year in the past, herders could wear small leather shoes, ride on horses, and go for a stroll outside.

Now, if the snow on the tent is not cleared in one day, the tent will be crushed by the snow in a few days!

With such heavy snow, the dried cow dung must be brought back to the tent to dry a few days in advance, otherwise it will produce thick smoke when burned.

The calf-high snow also posed a great obstacle to the merchants.

"Maybe the road is difficult to travel, so the bearded man came a little later."

"Well, he should come quickly, we don't have enough salt at home!"

In the grasslands in winter, salt is equivalent to gold. No one dares to store large amounts of salt at home for fear of attracting thieves.

Especially since salt is difficult to preserve, it would be so sad if the salt jar was broken during transportation.

Therefore, herders usually buy salt for the winter in one go after choosing their winter station.

However, after waiting day after day, there was still no sign of the bearded caravan!

The leader of the Tashi tribe could no longer sit still, so he asked his son to take a few people to go around the area every day to see if the bearded man was trapped on the road.

"Dad, we searched everywhere, but we didn't see the bearded man!"

The leader of the Tashi tribe frowned tightly. If the bearded man didn't come soon, most of the families in the tribe would have no salt to eat!

"Father, how about I go to the Hao Riqin Department and ask Cha Su?"

"Don't go looking for her. Your marriage is off! If you have nothing to do, go to Hongji's tribe more often!"

His son turned and walked away, pretending not to hear what he said.

The leader of the Tashi tribe was furious and cursed at his son's back.

After waiting for another ten days, there was still no sign of the bearded caravan.

There was no other choice, so the leader of the Tashi tribe had to go to the Haorichin tribe in person.

But this time, he did not bring his son.

"Hass, my friend! I'm in trouble and I'm here to ask for your help!" The leader of the Tas tribe lifted the door curtain and was instantly hit in the face by the warm air in the tent.

"Good brother, you are here, please take a seat!"

Unlike traditional grassland tents, Hass's tent has a square table and several small stools.

A can of grapes was warming on the campfire, and the sweet and sour aroma filled the tent, refreshing people.

The corner of the tent where the wooden boards were originally placed is now a square kang!

Cha Su took off his fur coat and sat cross-legged on the kang.

"You actually built a kang in the tent? Has, do you remember that we are wild horses on the grassland and eagles in the sky. We will not stay in any one place? Do you want to stay here all year round? In a few years, the grass will be eaten up by the sheep!"

Haas: "Of course I know, but this place will become our winter base for the Haoriqin tribe! Next year, we will build houses like those in Yunzhou! We will go there to graze in spring and summer, and come back in winter."

"You guys are crazy!"

Haas: "Well, my friend, what is it that brings you to me? Is it about salt, too?"
