Chapter 1468: The Long Journey with Full Enthusiasm
"New baggage has been sent. Everyone, go out and get it." The messenger shouted loudly in the area where the source of the Yellow River had melted.
Whenever a batch of baggage arrived, they would ride around to inform everyone.
There is no ice on the banks of the Yellow River, but there is still some snow on the banks.
A heavy snowfall may hit the area at any time, the water level of the Yellow River has risen, and there is more water in the sister lakes, most of which are snowmelt water sources.
Where there is no snow, grass sprouts.
The tribesmen who have become members of the Tang Dynasty drove their cattle and sheep to eat, eat a few mouthfuls of fresh food, and then come back to continue feeding hay.
There are more women, children and the elderly, while young men are still building the city with cement on the other side of the Yellow River.
They knew which place was most suitable for building a city, a small city into which the sheep could be driven in at critical moments.
There must be a water source, next to the city. If there are a few mistakes, it would be better.
Fix one big mistake in the city and leave other mistakes outside the city.
The wild beasts will go there to drink water. If they are placed in the city, the wild beasts will die without drinking water.
"It won't be a team from Chang'an. The land route is inconvenient."
Guo Zhiyun, wearing a military coat and a dog-skin hat, walked out of his room first and said to the others who had just come out.
Every ten days and a half, there will be things coming from the rear areas such as Hexi Jiedushi, Longyou Jiedushi, Lanzhou, Hezhou, Baosai and so on.
The most abundant things are from Shu. There are many areas in Shu where vegetables can be grown in winter.
Local people made the vegetables into dried vegetables or pickled vegetables and sold them at low prices to the big businessmen in Shu.
Friends base camp, follow and you will get cash and coins!
Each business gang hired people to transport the goods to the front line, and one batch left almost every five days. It took a long time to go back and forth.
After handing over the baggage, the merchant gangs kept the vouchers and brought them to Lijiazhuangzi when they went to Chang'an.
Part of it will be deducted from taxes, and the rest will be purchased from Lijiazhuangzi products.
Obviously they were sending things to the front line, but the merchants, merchants, and people setting up stalls found that business was easier.
When people grow vegetables, they usually rot in the ground and cannot be eaten at all.
If it can be converted into money, people's income will increase, consumption will increase, and money will circulate like this.
During the war, as long as the war is not fought at home, it will have a stimulating effect on the economy.
"It's probably kimchi from Sichuan. Some were delivered eleven days ago. They said there will be more at the back. The kimchi in bamboo tubes has a refreshing fragrance of bamboo."
Wang Junkui was not wearing a military coat. He was wearing a leather coat, which was heavier than the military coat and had a better effect of blocking the wind.
Spring has begun, and the wind is strong and making people feel uncomfortable.
If it weren't for hand cream and lipstick, my mouth would be cracked one after another, not to mention my face and hands, which would be chapped and bleeding.
"It is best to send new newspapers. If there is no urgent military situation, newspapers should not be delivered through fast channels." Zhang Xiaosong is a cultural person and loves to read newspapers.
Newspapers from Chang'an will be sent to various places. There are printing places in Shu and some of their own articles will be published, including important things in Chang'an.
I first started writing poems and poems, about literati, but later I discovered that Lijiazhuangzi’s newspapers would always write stories.
What a ghost or something, it's actually the Liaozhai copied by Li Yi.
The content in it is relatively explicit, no one said it should be banned, and people like to read it.
Reading a passage between husband and wife at night will help increase the population of the Tang Dynasty.
We are not husband and wife yet, but we will become husband and wife after reading.
The literary style in Shu is prosperous, and there were many people who were literate in the past. Now when writing such stories, once you get used to the pattern, it is very efficient.
Some newspapers have single stories, and some are serialized. The titles are more literary.
What is it like: The pretty widow stays overnight in the mountain temple, the strong woodcutter strays into the gentle countryside
Some with advanced skills can even carve simple pictures on wax paper, and the colors will be monotonous after printing.
People love to watch, work hard to learn cultural knowledge, and actively improve their self-cultivation.
Of course, Zhang Xiaosong didn't want to read this stuff. He wanted to read Chang'an's newspapers and what was going on in the court.
As they spoke, everyone headed towards the fixed baggage transfer point. Before they reached the place, cheers came from over there.
"Chili sauce, Lijiazhuangzi's chili sauce, there's too much, proprietor Li is very interesting."
"Dried oysters, bags of dried oysters, suitable for hot pot."
"Grilled fish fillets, fish from the sea, tearing one into pieces is the most comfortable thing to drink."
"There is wine, written as sorghum wine."
"It seems that we missed the point. It was sent from Chang'an." Zhang Zhongliang swallowed twice and smiled.
He likes to eat hot sauce, and usually makes soup with a little hot sauce in it, which makes every bite feel comfortable.
The luxurious way to eat is to eat scones, open in the middle, stuffed with bacon and vegetables from the greenhouse, and smeared with spicy sauce.
"It seems that the proprietor has planted a lot of peppers in his greenhouse. I guess they have planted them all in the royal family. The pepper seeds cannot be wasted."
Qin Li followed Greedy. He was no better outside than at home. The journey was far away. Unless there were special circumstances, how could he send out a large number of cavalry to deliver supplies like crazy?
"There are also kimchi. The ones from Shu came here together with those from Chang'an. There are jars of fermented bean curd in each jar. Unfortunately, they are not from Lijiazhuangzi."
"It's good to have it. There are many lumps in pickled mustard. That's why Boss Li came up with it and called it Dongzhu pickled mustard."
"Dried bamboo shoots and bacon. They couldn't bear to eat the bacon themselves, so they brought it to us."
"When we raise more yaks and sheep here, we will send them over."
"The wild donkeys have grown taller and are catching better. They are being raised. In less than three years, they will be sent to Shu. They will have livestock to work with."
The sergeant who helped carry the items carefully placed the items, especially the jars, as he spoke.
People from Chang'an and Shu were arranged to rest instead of working.
The tribesmen who had joined the Tang Dynasty helped to make milk tea, and the unmarried young woman massaged the person who delivered the gift, hoping to be noticed.
Hao Lingquan smiled at everyone along the way, looking very friendly.
He had made great contributions. No matter what kind of tribes he had run around before, he persuaded them to join the Tang Dynasty.
"Xun Xin?" Qin Li was sharp-eyed and saw the farmer who did not go to rest but stood next to the crowd.
The second manager of Li's manor came over in person. Did something big happen?
He hurried over: "Why are you here? Something happened in the manor?"
"What happened? Can I come here if something really happened?" Xun Xin put his hands in his sleeves and tilted his head to look at Qin Li.
"What if someone gathers and incites a large number of people to attack Li's manor? Come here to transfer me and others back."
Qin Li said a possibility that he himself did not believe.
"I came to see the situation. I was afraid that you would get into trouble, but you felt ashamed and didn't report the truth.
In more than a month or two, you will go back and replace the next group of people to feel the climate here.
Your Majesty meant that he didn't send a supervisor. I'll run errands and leave in a few days."
Xun Xin didn't respond to Qin Li's unrealistic words. Who else dared to attack Li's manor?
If they really wanted to fight, where would they get people to attack? So many hard-trained 16 guards, Yulin flying cavalry, and 30,000 recruits.
"How could I conceal the report when I'm here? Are your Majesty and the owner okay?" Qin Li smiled and asked with concern.
Xun Xin hesitated and nodded: "Your Majesty is fine. The owner left two days before I came out and went to sea."
"The owner is not in the manor?" Qin Li's eyes widened and he almost shouted.
"I'll be back next month to find seeds. I'll go back and I think I'll see the owner." Xun Xin waited for Qin Li to look.
