Great Qin Shi Empress

Chapter 64 169~172

==·soap·==

It is of course no problem for the government to set up a mutual market outside the city without restricting identities, but how to make the two parties who are accustomed to free trade accept the supervision of the government has become a problem.

Lin Qian originally thought it would be like this, so she was still thinking about adding some unique products to this mutual market to attract people.

For this reason, after discussing with Ying Zheng, Lin Qian decided to use local materials and took out two things, a sweater and soap.

The former needs to use cashmere. You only need to buy enough cashmere from those nomads to make wool, and then weave it into sweaters and sell them to nomads or wear them yourself. If you are skilled, you can knit them with wool. A sweater even only needs one day.

The latter needs to use animal fat or internal organs, etc., and the fermentation time will take a while, but for today's era when you can only wash your hair with soap, soap will definitely bring enough influence.

In addition to wool and soap, relatively harder wool can actually be made into items such as toothbrushes and wool felt.

There are quite a lot of things that can be developed here at the border.

But before Lin Qian took these things out, the common people and foreigners who had been trading outside heard that the imperial court seemed to be planning to open a trade market outside the city that did not restrict their status.

Then, not only were these people not as opposed to the existence of the mutual market as Lin Qian imagined, but many people came to the county sheriff's office to express their warm welcome to the establishment of the mutual market. The establishment of the mutual market.

The common people who originally traded in the market in the city did not conflict with the foreigners——

One is that although most people welcome the cheap beef and mutton brought by foreigners, and do not have a strong dislike for them, there are always some people whose relatives died at the hands of foreigners, and they don’t like living in the village where they live. Seeing foreigners in the city, if possible, they even hope to drive out all the foreigners in the city;

The second is that these people are full of hatred for foreigners and even the people who trade with foreigners, and occasionally do some disgusting small damage.Everyone understands each other's pain, but being stared at with hatred every day, and always being disgusted, everyone feels uncomfortable.

Of course, the third thing is the more realistic security issue.

In fact, neither the local people nor the foreigners have much trust in each other, and past facts have indeed proved that there are scum on both sides, so there can be a market that is supervised by the government and not restricted by identity. Whether it is for the local people or those foreigners who want to buy goods from the people, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Lin Qian thought about the sweater and soap she was going to take out, and couldn't help laughing with Ying Zheng: "It seems that I have more spare things."

Ying Zheng laughed: "How can it be redundant? Since we are going to open a mutual market in the name of the government, we must do it well. Even if the mutual market is opened, if there are no unique products, it will take a lot of money to spread the reputation and attract more people to come and trade. In time, with sweaters and soap, the time for fame to spread is greatly shortened."

This made sense at first glance, Lin Qian was even brought into the ditch and was about to nod in agreement.

then……

She suddenly remembered one thing: "Sweaters and soap were not invented until modern times, but before that, the trading market had existed in China for more than 1000 years, and it was quite popular. It seemed that sweaters and soaps were not needed." Soap fame?"

Lin Qian looked at Ying Zheng suspiciously.

Ying Zheng was also frank: "The reason mentioned by the widow is not aimless, but the widow is more curious about what soap is."

Lin Qian was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Since you are curious, let someone make it. I also want to use soap, but the cleaning power of saponins is still too small. But soap production takes at least seven days, and we still have to Can you stay in Longxi County for so long?"

The common people have no resistance to the establishment of the mutual market, and it is relatively easy to establish it. Maybe the mutual market can be planned in two or three days.

Ying Zheng was a little surprised: "So long?"

Lin Qian nodded: "To make soap, animal fat and caustic soda are needed - caustic soda can be replaced by plant ash. Soap making can be roughly divided into two methods, hot and cold."

"The so-called thermal process is to add caustic soda after melting the animal fat, and keep heating in the middle to speed up the process of saponification reaction; the cold process is to heat and melt the animal fat and then add caustic soda, then stop heating, stir evenly and wait for it natural reaction."

"Because of the continuous heating to accelerate the saponification reaction, the soap only needs to be cooled for about a week before it can be used after being poured into the mold; while the cold soap is more beneficial to human health, but because there is no continuous heating, After the soap liquid is poured into the mold and cooled, the saponification reaction is still not complete, so it needs to stand for about 21 to 35 days.”

She looked at Ying Zheng, "Seven days is the shortest time."

Ying Zheng nodded and asked, "Can't you take it with you in the carriage?"

Lin Qian paused: "If the soap liquid is half solidified when we leave, it should be okay?"

The two looked at each other, and immediately began to prepare for making soap.

The first is to find animal fat or animal offal——

Animal viscera can actually produce a lot of oil, but because the offal itself has a strong taste, the boiled oil will have a stronger taste than normal oil, and the finished product is not as good as soap made from normal oil.

but……

cheap price.

Even though most people’s food and clothing problems have been solved now, except during the harvest and Chinese New Year period, it is difficult for many people to taste oily taste in their mouths. Just can't afford it.

The offal is much better.

Although Linqian has changed from Huazhi to seasonings such as onion, ginger and garlic to remove the fishy smell, it has not been popularized in the whole country, not to mention, because its output is not high and the price has always been high, and the smell of offal is particularly strong. , need to use a lot of seasoning to remove fishy smell and cover the food, the common people will not eat it unless they are extremely hungry.

And because seasonings have been introduced for a short period of time, except for Lin Qian who holds the recipes, no one else has developed delicacies that use offal as raw materials—basically they are rushing to use seasonings to make good dishes and meat more delicious – so for now, and a lot of it will be fed to the dogs or thrown away, the price of offal is pretty low.

Even if the quality of soap made from offal is not very good, it should be within the tolerance of the common people.

As for soap made from normal oils...

Simple, sell at a high price to nobles and rich people.

In order to increase the price, people can also add saponins and toilet water, etc., and make a big fuss about the molds. As long as you are not afraid of trouble, you can always get money from nobles and businessmen who are not short of money.

At the beginning, Lin Qian thought about the same as before, and directly disclosed the soap making method to the people.

But soon, she dismissed such thoughts——

The common people on the frontier are mixed with foreigners, there are intermarriages, and the common people are relatives with foreigners. If it is directly announced, it is almost easy to know that the method of making soap will soon be known by the Yuezhi, Wusun and even others. The Xiongnu, Xiqiang and other big tribes know that when the time comes, people will make their own soap with the prescription and sell it to the people of Daqin, grabbing a lot of money from the people and nobles...

Lin Qian is not stupid, of course she would not do this.

But how to make a profit, Lin Qian seemed to have a short-circuited brain, and never thought of a suitable way.

I always feel that no matter what method, the soap formula may be stolen.

After knowing this, Ying Zheng reminded: "Didn't you run a garment workshop and a textile factory before? The method of making soap doesn't sound too difficult. Can't you recruit workers to make soap?"

Lin Qian suddenly realized: "Why did I forget that I can open a factory?"

And it must be an official factory opening.

Because of the special household registration system of the Qin Dynasty, the sheriff's office holds all the basic information of all the people under its jurisdiction. If the official office is allowed to open a soap factory, it can completely cut off the possibility of leaking secrets from the source——

As long as the common people involved with foreigners, just brush it off when recruiting!

And the production process can also be divided into several steps: such as simply cutting the viscera and fat, heating the viscera and fat, adding plant ash and stirring, adding other spices and floral water, pouring into molds, taking it out to dry every day...

Because the workers do not communicate with each other, no one knows whether each step has added other things.

However, the method of making the flower dew can be made public.

After all, flowers cannot be grown on the grasslands, and the nomads themselves live in no fixed place. It is impossible to stay in the same place to grow flowers, and they cannot grow them.

Lin Qian told Ying Zheng her thoughts and got Ying Zheng's approval.

He even added some details to Lin Qian's plan: "If you want to open a mutual market, you must not only open it in Longxi County. At that time, Jiuyuan County and Dai County adjacent to the Xiongnu, Yuyu County adjacent to Donghu Yang County, Liaodong County, Shu County and Baima County, which are adjacent to Xiqiang, will also open mutual markets, and it will be inevitable to open factories at that time."

"If factories are to be opened in various places, and the factories make too much profit, they cannot be directly affiliated with the existing officials, but need to be directly under the jurisdiction of Xianyang, otherwise corruption problems will easily arise."

"Although there are people in Longxi County who raise cattle and sheep, they are not as large as those outside the customs. The officials in charge of this matter need to deal with them for a long time. In order to prevent the other party from collaborating with the enemy, this person cannot be a local official. Xianyang officials or officials from the Central Plains are in charge of this matter."

Lin Qian thought of a suitable person in charge of these factories almost instantly: "Xiao Xiao, the person in charge of the garment workshop and textile factory I opened before, is good at doing business, and she has managed these two factories very well over the years. Very good, I heard that a textile factory was opened in Yingchuan County last year."

"And she is a native of Xianyang, her parents live in Xianyang, and she brings a group of neighbors to make paper and sell it. It is impossible to collude with the enemy and treason."

Ying Zheng was lost in thought.

Lin Qian didn't ask any further questions, and after talking to him, she went out to find someone to make soap.

Worrying about the leakage of the recipe, Lin Qian has something to do, including buying oil and plant ashes and finding someone to shape the mold for the soap, etc. Lin Mo and other servants of the palace were found to help, and when making the soap, they deliberately closed it door.

When Lin Qian made the first batch of soap liquid and poured it into the mold, Ying Zheng also thought of a more suitable person in charge of the soap factory.

==·Counterattack·==

He looked at Lin Qian and explained: "You said that Xiao can lead this matter in the early stage, but her status is not high enough, I am afraid she cannot overwhelm the county guards in various places, so someone needs to pave the way for her in the early stage."

Lin Qian was curious: "Who are you going to find to pave the way for Xiao?"

Ying Zheng smiled: "Zhang Liang. Since he was transferred to the position of Ting Wei, he has been able to get in touch with the cases gathered in Xianyang from all over the country. Over the years, he has written a lot of pamphlets to promote the state of Qin. .After it was printed, not only the story was very popular among the people, but he himself gained quite a reputation among the people.”

"If he is in charge of this matter, I think he can adjust the relationship between various places and open the soap factory soon."

Lin Qian suddenly realized: "It turned out to be him!"

She still believed in Zhang Liang's ability. Since Ying Zheng felt that he could handle this kind of thing well, Lin Qian naturally had no objection.

So the matter was finally finalized, and Ying Zheng quickly sent a letter to Xianyang.

While waiting for Zhang Liang and Xiao to come to Longxi County, while waiting for the soap to dry, Lin Qian explained to them how to make the soap, and also mentioned the uses of cashmere and wool.

While Lin Qian was busy making soap, the mutual market outside the city had already been built.

There are no very luxurious buildings, just a foundation was built on an open space not far from the city gate, and then a shelter from the wind and rain and some high platforms where goods can be placed were built with wood.

The design of this place comes from Linqian, and the main source of inspiration is the structure of the farmer's market seen in some rural market videos.

This kind of building is quite rough, but it is completely enough for today's common people.

It was the first day of opening of the bazaar, and the common people and foreigners who were going to come to trade looked at the soldiers guarding around and were afraid to go in, especially the foreigners who saw the weapons in the hands of the soldiers were even more frightened.

The soldiers didn't care, they just stood there.

Until a foolish and bold commoner rushed to the small official's office at the entrance of the market with two baskets of vegetables, and registered his identity, the type and quantity of the goods, he rushed in without much embarrassment.

After a while, the man yelled in surprise: "Big cows and tigers, come in quickly, the sheriff has built a lot of tables inside where goods can be placed, and there are a lot of stone benches beside them. There are not many, if you don’t come in, you will be taken up by other people later!”

As soon as the words fell, the other people saw two more commoners carrying burdens squeezed out of the crowd, and they didn't dare to look around, and rushed to the little official in charge of registering their identities.

The others panicked in an instant, and they didn't care whether they were afraid or not, and some people rushed in in groups.

Someone started, and then the people who entered the market became orderly.

On the contrary, the foreigners could not help feeling a little worried when they saw that there were small officials at the door registering their identities and types of goods.

One of them, seeing the local people queuing up in a long line, couldn't help pulling the soldier next to him and asked, "Didn't you say that transactions in this market are not restricted by identity?"

The soldier didn't have a good impression of foreigners, but the sheriff had repeatedly told him before, so he patiently explained: "The purpose of registering your identities is to prevent people from making trouble after entering. When someone reports it, you can quickly report it based on the registered information." Find people, otherwise there are so many people trading inside, and if someone makes a fuss, we can't guarantee that we can find people."

Seeing that these foreigners were worried, the soldier sighed, "Don't worry, the servants mainly register your appearance, your clothes, and the goods you bring. As for information such as names and tribes, you can tell them what you want, and if you don't want to directly It's okay to make up an identity."

They can't go to the grassland to check the identities of these people, and it's useless to register their names and identities.

Those foreigners were relieved, and they carried their cattle and sheep to the little official.

……

Ah Shu is a villager in a small village outside the county town of Longxi County. He enlisted in the army and earned a junior title during the war earlier. Although he was injured and had to retreat from the front line, he relied on the titles to share the land with the titles. It's not too bad.

After potatoes, corn and other crops were promoted to Longxi County, his life became more and more prosperous.

The only problem is, he has never been able to marry a wife and have children.

Because he will retreat from the battlefield because his hand was cut off.Although he himself doesn't feel that having a broken hand has any impact on his life, those people can't help but feel worried when they hear that he is disabled.

After all, two people will have children after they get married, and once they have children, the expenses will be high. The little land under his name may not be able to support several children.

Ah Shu also understands that he can probably live a good life alone, and he can live well if he marries a wife, but it may not be so if he has a child.

Therefore, although he asked his relatives and friends to help introduce him, he didn't hold out much hope.

Until, one day, my aunt suddenly brought a foreign woman, who she said was a female slave escaped from the Yuezhi tribe, and asked him if he would like to marry her and live with her.

Since Ah Shu would find someone to help introduce his wife, he naturally had this idea.

What's more, that foreign woman is quite beautiful?

After asking clearly that the other party was just an inconspicuous slave of an aristocratic family in the Yuezhi tribe and would not cause any trouble to him, Ah Shu soon married the other party, and gave birth to two children in that year and the next year. child.

After the world was unified, Ah Shu even registered his wife's identity, removing even the last trace of hidden danger.

But soon, the problem came.

After the addition of three people to the family, the crops in the field that were originally sufficient or even somewhat surplus gradually became insufficient for their family of four to feed. Ashu was not like other people who could find other jobs to earn some quick money, so he went to I can only try to get some seeds of onion, ginger, garlic and other seasonings to plant in my own field ridge and in my yard, and sell them when I go to the market.

But he is not the only one who grows onion, ginger, garlic and other seasonings in the city of Longxi County. If he wants to sell them at a higher price, he can only focus on those foreigners——

Foreigners eat meat almost every day. They like onion, ginger and garlic, which can remove the fishy smell, and are willing to exchange more meat.

However, some of these foreigners are used to snatching other people's things. Once they encounter an order for themselves, they will not trade with him normally at all, and they will often grab the seasoning and run away.

It's not bad to run away after grabbing something, and some people even beat him up before leaving.

He doesn't like those foreigners very much, but for the sake of the family's livelihood, he can only do business with them at the risk of doing business with them. At most, he can ask a few good brothers to go with him to contact those foreigners.

Well now, the official exchange market is absolutely safe.

When Ah Shu arrived at the mutual market, he was the first to rush in, and after finding the stalls in the market, he couldn't wait to call his two good brothers in.

In fact, his approach was correct, because those seats were quickly filled up, and those who came later could only go to the open space next to them to set up stalls and sell things.

Although the little official also said that money will definitely be collected when the mutual market develops in the future, but...

Don't take advantage of the cheap bastard!

Ah Shu happily chatted with every customer who came to ask the price, and soon sold more than half of the onion, ginger and garlic, and it seemed that the stall could be closed in advance.

At this time, Ah Shu suddenly saw a few familiar foreigners.

Just in case, when Ah Shu chose the stall, he deliberately chose the place with the most traffic at the entrance, so that anyone who entered the market could see his stall and the seasoning on the stall.

Several of his friends are also by his side, taking care of each other.

But with so many locations, there are always some remote ones.

Ah Shu saw those foreigners who came to the market and randomly scanned the almost vacant seats, and then went directly to the hawkers in the corner who didn't sell much, and all of them had fierce eyes, as if not With good intentions.

Ah Shu recognized them almost instantly as the few foreigners who had robbed him and beat him up.

After hesitating, Ah Shu talked to the big cow next to him, and immediately ran to a few soldiers in charge of maintaining order in the market: "Soldier, go in and have a look, some foreigners are robbing a commoner who brought him vegetables!"

Several soldiers turned their heads in an instant.

Ah Shu looked back and saw that no one noticed this corner, so he raised his finger and pointed out the whereabouts of those foreigners: "I was robbed by those foreigners before, you may not be able to come here now." A thief and a thief!"

After speaking, he was worried about being discovered, and immediately hunched over and returned to his seat.

Holding the idea that they would rather believe it than believe it, several soldiers immediately walked in the direction of Ah Shu's finger, and then...

"You want a sheep from us with just a few vegetable leaves? That's a good idea!"

"Let me tell you, we want all the things on your stall, and I'll give you two dollars!"

As he said that, he saw those foreigners throw some money at the peddler, and then he pulled all the vegetables from his stall into baskets and wanted to take them all away.

The vendor had never experienced such a thing before, and was frightened on the spot: "You put all my things down, or I will call someone!"

Several foreigners laughed, and one of them said: "You can shout if you have the ability! Just don't blame us for not reminding you, if we are really caught, we will come out later, your men, women and children..."

Before he finished speaking, several soldiers suddenly rushed out from the side and pinned him to the ground.

Several other foreigners wanted to run away, but they were quickly stopped by other outraged guests and vendors, and even other foreigners who couldn't stand it. After the soldiers tied up the leading foreigner, they walked towards other people.

After arresting all the people, several soldiers thanked the people around them, and then led them away from the market.

Ah Shu watched from the side, clenched his fists excitedly——

If you don't know how to restrain yourself in my land of Great Qin, you deserve it if you die!

== · Factory · ==

Yingzheng soon learned that there were foreigners bullying his own people on the land of Qin State. Before being arrested, he even dared to threaten the people to seek revenge from his family. He immediately ordered several foreigners to be cut in half.

The foreigners were frightened, and quickly tried to find a way to apologize and intercede.

However useless.

It wasn't until the news that a few people were about to be cut in half reached the ears of their clansmen, those clansmen who didn't understand what these people did at first realized how powerful they were, and tried every means to get in touch with the sheriff through their connections and hoped that they could Meet Ying Zheng.

It's a pity that Ying Zheng didn't give them a chance to meet at all.

Seeing that these people were about to be executed, a person suddenly came out and revealed that he was the young patriarch of the Yuezhi tribe, and wanted to intercede for those people.

Ying Zheng didn't want to meet people at first.

He's just the prince of the Yueshi tribe, so it's worth meeting him?

But Meng Tian mentioned a name, which aroused Yingzheng's interest: "My minister went to see it in advance, the young patriarch of the Yue clan is accompanied by the young man who is suspected to be the prince of the Huns."

Hearing the existence of Mao Dun, Ying Zhengcai finally nodded and agreed to meet with these people.

After seeing Ying Zheng, the young patriarch of the Yue clan retreated in an instant, and looked a little shy. On the contrary, the young man standing next to him, who looked more like an entourage, was more like a young patriarch of the clan than he was. .

Ying Zheng directly passed the young patriarch and set his sights on the young man.

The boy recognized Ying Zheng as soon as he entered the door——

This person was one of those people who had observed him on the street before and seemed to recognize him.

Mo Dun realized that his identity had been exposed.

He had some regrets, but he could only accept the reality, and saluted Yingzheng earnestly: "My Majesty, Prince Modun of the Huns, has met the King of Qin."

Ying Zheng glanced at him: "It really is you."

Mao Dun sensed the unkindness hidden in Ying Zheng's eyes, couldn't help but swallowed, and quickly explained the reason why he appeared in Longxi County: "Chanyu's Yanshi is pregnant, and Yanshi is worried that I will be pregnant with her. The child was disadvantaged, so he urged Shan Yu to send Xia to the Yuezhi tribe as a hostage, and after the child in the womb of the Yan clan was born, he would take Xia back to the Huns royal court."

Lin Qian was shocked: Is this Yan family pregnant so early?

[The time is not quite right. In history, Tou Mandanyu should have sent Maodun to Yueshi as a hostage after his beloved Yanshi gave birth to his youngest son in order to clear the way for the younger son. Attacking the Yuezhi, wanting to use the hands of the Yuezhi tribe to get rid of Maodun. 】

[Now that the child has not yet been born, Touman Shanyu sent his eldest son away? 】

Ying Zheng turned his head to look at Lin Qian, and looked at Mao Dun in surprise.

After all, he was only in his early ten years old, and his life in the past few years was not too bad, so even some cities couldn't escape Ying Zheng's eyes. He could almost see Mao Dun's desire to tear people apart at a glance. hatred.

but……

Ying Zheng shook his head, thinking that the prince of the Huns was still a little too young——

He could see that the Xiongnu prince's hatred was directed towards Toumanchanyu's Yan family, but he still had a bit of admiration and longing for Toumanchanyu who caused the current situation.

If you can't recognize who your real enemy is, you will suffer a lot in the future.

Yingzheng didn't mean to remind, but finally set his sights on the young patriarch of the Yuezhi tribe: "The people of the tribe are on the land of my Daqin, and they insulted the people of my Daqin. The widow just sentenced them to be cut in half and die." You have never implicated other people, do you still have objections?"

The young patriarch hardly dared to breathe heavily in front of Ying Zheng, how could he remember why he came?

Simply Mao Dun reminded from the side: "Young patriarch, those few people may be related to your mother clan!"

The young patriarch paused, and looked at Ying Zheng stiffly: "Your Majesty, I don't have any objection to your Majesty's decision, but..." He swallowed, "They are related to Your Majesty, so it's not good to ignore them. Hope, I hope Your Majesty You can spare their lives, for this, I am willing to pay any price."

Mouton: "..."

He looked at the young patriarch in disbelief: any price?Are you afraid you are crazy?

Ying Zheng couldn't help being surprised, but...

He immediately made a decision: "Yes, the young patriarch only needs to take all the cattle and sheep of the Yuezhi tribe..."

The young patriarch and the others gasped and looked at Ying Zheng in horror.

Yingzheng glanced at the few people and curled his lips, "All the wool, cashmere and offal of the cattle and sheep will be sent to Longxi County, and [-] cattle and sheep will be handed over to the people they have hurt as compensation, and they will promise not to let them in the future." Let these people step into our Daqin territory, and I agree to spare the lives of these people."

The young patriarch breathed a sigh of relief.

But Ying Zheng said again: "It's fine if you step into my Daqin land, as long as someone finds out, you can kill them. And, in the future, everyone in the Yuezhi tribe will no longer be able to step into my Daqin."

The young patriarch nodded repeatedly, not paying attention to the latter sentence at all.

After all, he couldn't control whether he came or not.

Moreover, although he came to Longxi County this time and saw many novel and interesting things, he himself could not leave the territory of the Yuezhi tribe often, so Ying Zheng's words posed almost zero threat to him.

until……

The young patriarch and the others heard that there were officials buying wool and offal in the market in the county city of Longxi County and in the mutual market outside the city, and the price they offered was not very low, so the group of people who had just agreed to Yingzheng's conditions Instantly regretted——

The number of cattle and sheep raised by all the Yuezhi people cannot be counted, and their tribe is the largest Yuezhi tribe, and the number of cattle and sheep raised is almost half of all the Yuezhi tribes combined.

If one of the sheep is killed, the wool, cashmere and internal organs are taken to the Qin Dynasty to sell...

The young patriarch really wanted to go back to the past immediately, and beat up the self who was only a brain before!

He couldn't help looking at Mao Dun: "Can I go back on my word and let King Qin kill those bastards directly?"

Mao Dun looked at him affectionately: "If you are not afraid that King Qin will send troops to attack Yuezhi."

Young patriarch: "..."

Ever since Ying Zheng ruled the world, the surrounding countries, large and small, have not been afraid of him.

Of course the young patriarch is also afraid.

Worried that the news that Longxi County was purchasing wool, cashmere and offal would spread back to his tribe, the young patriarch dared not delay, and immediately set off to return to the place where his tribe was stationed.

But he didn't want Mao Dun to speak suddenly, and proposed that he could stay in Longxi County and wait for him to come back with cashmere wool.

The young patriarch was a little reluctant.

Mao Dun said: "In case someone in your Yuezhi tribe commits crimes again, I can help you deal with some things in time by staying here."

The young patriarch knew that Mao Dun was smarter than himself, so he could only nod in agreement.

But he didn't know that right after he left, Mao Dun immediately went back to his residence to pack his bags, left Longxi County in the direction he left, and rode back to the Huns' territory after returning to the grassland.

Meng Tian immediately told Ying Zheng about the harm.

Ying Zheng was dealing with government affairs, and he waved his hands when he heard the words: "It's nothing, he will return to the Yuezhi tribe sooner or later, just keep an eye on him."

Lin Qian found someone to buy a lot of cashmere and wool from people's homes, and then took Lin Mo and other trustworthy people to spin the cashmere into balls of wool, and then found a local carpenter to cut a lot of wool needles out of wood. , and then taught Lin Mo and others how to stitch a lot of wool, and knitted a looser sweater in one day.

After confirming that Lin Mo and others had learned how to knit sweaters, Lin Qian told Lin Mo his arrangement: "Because Zhang Tingwei and Xiao have to wait a few days to arrive in Longxi County, but I don't believe that Longxi The rest of the county, so I hope you can stay in Longxi County and wait for Zhang Tingwei, Xiao and others."

Lin Mo panicked: "Am I waiting for them here alone?"

Lin Qian laughed: "Of course not, it's all of you who have learned how to make soap and how to knit sweaters."

Lin Mo knew that this was an opportunity Qian Niang gave him——

My talent in all aspects is very mediocre, unlike Xiao who is particularly talented in business, even if Qianniang wants to give herself a chance, she can't find a way, and now she finally has a chance to be on her own. If she If you don't seize it, I'm afraid you won't have this kind of opportunity again in your life.

But it was the first time he left Qianniang's side, and Lin Mo always felt guilty.

Lin Qian was helpless: "What is there to be guilty of? You just need to stay in Longxi County and wait for Zhang Tingwei and Xiao to come over, tell them what you know about making soap and how to weave sweaters, and then wait here After the factory is on the right track, it will be fine to go to Jiuyuan County with Zhang Tingwei to reconcile with us."

Lin Mo knew that these soap factories and sweater factories would be opened in all the counties and counties of the border, and thought that she would follow along all the time. Now that she only needs to be in charge of Longxi County and Jiuyuan County, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. .

Not wanting to let go of this opportunity, Lin Mo nodded and agreed.

Lin Qian smiled, her eyes filled with relief.

The next day, Lin Qian boarded the carriage to Jiuyuan County together with Ying Zheng and others.

And just a few days after they left, Zhang Liang and Xiao, who got the news, appeared together at the gate of Longxi County.

After the two arrived at the city gate, they immediately noticed the market outside the city gate.

I have only seen the market opened in the city before, but I have never seen the market opened outside the city, and two people with outstanding observation skills soon discovered that there are quite a number of foreigners in the market.

The hearts of the two jumped violently at the same time, and then looked at each other, eyes full of fear.

Fortunately, the governor of Longxi County and Lin Mo who came to pick them up quickly explained the reason for the establishment of the mutual market, and explained the operating rules of the mutual market, etc., which finally dispelled their bad thoughts.

Of course, the main reason why they believed the sheriff's words was because of Lin Mo's existence.

The sheriff also seemed to be aware of Lin Mo's role. After cleaning up the dust for the two, he directly handed over the task of receiving the two to Lin Mo.

Lin Mo was a little flustered at first, but with these two people who were too good at talking and taking care of other people's emotions, Lin Mo soon regained the confidence he had when he was by Lin Qian's side, and he spoke in an orderly manner. Let Zhang Liang and the two quickly figure out what they need to do in Longxi County.
