Chapter 673: The Snow Room
Before Qian Rujun arrived at the specified camp site, Emperor Liu Heng got the news.
He couldn't sit still in astonishment, and rushed out of the tent to look outside with the telescope that Qian Rujun had given him.
The telescope is Qian Rujun's new invention.
When he heard that Emperor Liu Heng wanted to be principled in the north, he contributed.
Glass is already a normal product in Jinmaicheng, and it is not expensive to sell.
Of course, if this glass is a handicraft, it is still a very valuable thing.
A glass rod that can change into a thousand strange shapes.
People with artistic talent can make glass art into flowers.
It's hard to imagine that glass art is the same thing as the glass they use in their homes.
Using glass on a telescope was not an idea that suddenly came to Qian Rujun's mind.
The industrial assembly line has long noticed the function of glass in industry, and in addition to artworks, they have taken the function of glass to the extreme.
They couldn't do things that were too difficult, but after Qian Rujun's description, simple things had already been developed, and they didn't even ask Qian Rujun for technical books.
There are too many inventors in Golden Wheat City.
An inventor can be a professional or a roadside vendor, and everyone is working hard to invent something.
Now, Qian Rujun has reached the point where he can't count what inventions Jinmai City has.
There are some things that Qian Rujun did not talk about in later generations, and such things can make the life of the Han people more convenient.
Qian Rujun, who has not enjoyed the daily life of the Han Dynasty, has no time imagining the use of this thing.
Emperor Liu Heng saw an army of 5,000 people composed of the Huns, no, Qian Rujun kept an army of 1,000 people, and promised that for every 5,000 people, he would send 3,000 people over.
Qian Rujun said well, the more people there are, the more people you can arrest.
If the emperor has someone, he can also send it over, kill it for nothing, and waste it.
The more people who can bring taxes to the emperor, the better.
Emperor Liu Heng originally didn't understand Qian Rujun's thoughts, but when Qian Rujun mentioned taxes, he understood.
The Han Dynasty originally had a commercial tax, but later in order to avoid talking about Empress Lu, the commercial tax was abolished.
Most of the taxes must be asked by the common people of the Han Dynasty.
So doesn't it mean that these Huns are already ordinary people of the Han Dynasty?
The emperor is a professional who manages the world, and the height of thinking is naturally different, and he quickly understands what Qian Rujun means.
Seeing these armies, his eyes were even hotter.
However, the emperor is an emperor after all, there is no absolute security, he will not approach these Huns, and there is no need for him to approach.
According to Qian Rujun, these Huns are all slaves, servants of the gods, and they are prepared by the gods for the emperor.
Heaven has the virtue of a good life, and if these people can stay in the grassland to stick to their hometown for them, it will be a great thing.
For the Han Chinese, the land was too cold.
It's okay to come once in a while, but if you have to stay here, it's probably only a mercenary businessman who is willing to do so.
In Qian Rujun's eyes, the space of the Han Dynasty is empty and has not yet been filled.
In the eyes of the emperor, the Han was too crowded, and there was no land left to distribute to the people.
You must know that it was their responsibility to divide the land to the peasants, but within a few years, the cooked land would not be scored.
Only raw land can be cultivated.
In the eyes of the emperor, it was not easy to open up a raw land, and the harvest in the first few years was not good.
These 4,000 troops did not look like the Xiongnu army at all at this time, because they carried a lot of goods with large bags and small bags, and, ridiculously, they had horses and two-wheeled carts that Qian Rujun had improved.
This cart is not pushed in front of the person, but behind the horse. It looks like a horse-drawn carriage.
The horses, on the other hand, have a few more ropes to tie up.
The cart resembles a horse-drawn carriage, but rather a horse-drawn carriage, a bit like a vintage chariot.
However, Dahan's car is basically a two-wheeled vehicle, and there is no four-wheeled vehicle, because the current road conditions are very poor, and in most places, it is great to be able to drive a two-wheeled vehicle, and it is relatively easy to build a two-wheeled vehicle.
The emperor did not let the 4,000 Xiongnu army march closer, but asked the people next to him how they observed the Xiongnu army, compared with the savages, the emperor Liu Heng himself gave the Xiongnu army a much lower degree of trust:
"How are the Huns doing, and are there any signs of rebellion?"
"If, the subordinates order the Huns to do the things that the princess once explained, those Huns will abide by them very effectively and do it, but if these things are not ordered by the princess, but the subordinates suddenly think of asking them to do them, they will often show dissatisfaction, or even not do it at all. ”
"For example, what is it?"
The caller who was in charge of answering blushed and said, "My subordinates think that the Huns are very good at taking care of horses, so I want them to help take care of the horses we are riding. ”
"Isn't that a matter of course for them, and what else could happen to them?"
"They don't want to, they say that the horses of other tribes, they can only rob their own, and other people's horses are none of their business. ”
"Will you be able to communicate with them, or will you find a translator?"
"If you go back to the emperor, they will say that we are near Chang'an, so communication is not a problem?"
"Is there only one who can say it, or is it all the ones who can say it?"
According to Wei Chen's observations, each of them will speak, because their daily conversation is not the strange language of the Huns, but the language of the Han Dynasty. The words that the princess asked them to learn were all from the Guanzhong region, and I just happened to be able to understand them. ”
"Then it seems that these Huns are indeed usable, because the power of the gods is so great that everyone can speak the words of my Great Khan, and if they can read and write, there will be no problem in communicating. In other words, there is less than one person in our people who can read and write. ”
Another very important reason is that across a village, the language they use is basically different, and for some people, even as long as they are separated by 200 kilometers, they can't understand another language.
For being in an unfamiliar environment, the people around them say they don't understand words, in fact, they are also very disgusted.
The Emperor asked them much more about their condition, but at last he was satisfied, and he commanded the lieutenant:
"Let them send ten men and I'll talk to them. ”
"Yes. ”
When talking to the emperor, this lieutenant trembled all over, not afraid, but too nervous and excited!
For most of the people of the Han Dynasty, there is basically no chance to get close to the emperor, except for some generals, how many people can meet the emperor?
For him, being able to meet the emperor and talk to the emperor will be enough for him to talk to others and become a capital for conversation, and be respected by others.
Qian Rujun arrived at his new station and started a new activity.
She felt that the land of the grassland was too fertile and would be wasted if it was not cultivated.
"Won't it be too wasteful for the princess to bag these burlap bags for the soil of the grassland?"
"What kind of waste? Tell me what's wrong with the grassland soil, how smooth it is for you to touch, and it's all black soil?"
"I'm going to use it to grow grass so that I can get enough fodder for our horses, or I'd be reluctant to use my special water for it. ”
Qian Rujun didn't say anything! In fact, every sack was filled with space black soil.
This is already her most complete investment in space and land.
This is the real priceless treasure if, if there is no black soil, even if the spring water tastes just better, of course, those horses are still willing to accept it, but there is no supreme guarantee for their quality.
Making this decision was actually very painful for Qian Rujun, because if the grass eaten by the horses could last, the emperor would probably stay in the grassland for a longer time.
The weather is so cold, it is too cold for the Han people. As a result of being too cold, everything is burned, and the Han people are actually a very big damage to the grassland.
Leaving the steppe early is also a good thing for the steppe people.
Of course, for the grassland people, the biggest luck is that Qian Rujun herself is gone, because with her, she will go to catch the grassland people every day to brainwash and increase the grassland people under her direct control.
When she captured more and more Huns, she began to think about other problems, not to treat them as slaves, but to let them set up new tribes, and start to fight against the Huns in the steppe, and those who were brainwashed by him could change their names to become another tribe, because they were actually different from the Huns in essence.
In order to achieve this goal, she began to select some high-quality grassland people to stay in the space.
Give them better training in martial arts, teach them to read and write, and also let them have a woman to keep them company.
But Qian Rujun still didn't keep them for too long, and he didn't teach them other skills, because their biggest skill was animal husbandry.
The matter of shaving wool and turning it into wool, in fact, Jinmaicheng has already done it, and there is no need to study it at all, and this method requires a lot of wool, and there is nothing in the grassland, that is, the wild sheep that are not afraid of the cold are the most, and they have a lot of wool on them.
Although it is not a merinu sheep specially used for shaving wool, but the wool on their bodies, the role that wool can lift, is very enough for the people of this place, Qian Rujun is ready to import wool, make it into textiles, and then export it to the grassland.
Where raw materials are supplied, there is never as much profit as there is from processing finished products.
But the provision of raw materials has been able to make the grassland people's life better, in addition to providing raw materials, Qian Rujun is also ready to let the grassland get vegetables.
Qian Rujun knows that vegetables can actually be frozen and preserved, so in winter, there is no need to borrow a refrigerator to send things like cauliflower to the grassland.
Green peppers can also be slightly scooped through the water and sent to the grassland to sell, because the green peppers that have been diluted can actually be put in the freezer for several months, in addition, in addition to these things, bowl beans, emperor beans and the like, bean products, can also be stored for a long time.
And the most important thing is that their seeds can be eaten as soon as they sprout, or even, become seedlings.
For them, this can be cultivated at the turn of spring and summer
In this way, there is no shortage of vegetables throughout the year
Of course, if you want a large number of seeds, only Dahan can provide them, especially Jinmai City.
Qian Rujun really wanted to popularize this method, but in this era, the transmission speed through oral language is still very slow, and after five or six years, the way of life in Jinmaicheng still cannot be spread within a radius of 500 miles.
Most of the Han people have not even heard of Jinmaicheng and Princess Jinmai, only the wealthier families in the land have heard of it slightly, and the very wealthy people think that Qian Rujun's name is famous.
Because these people have channels and can know the news from afar, otherwise they may face the danger of breaking their homes at any time.
In the same way, you can not only grow grass, but also other vegetables, but if you want to grow vegetables next to it during such a season, you must make a fire next to it.
Although the grasslands of Inner Mongolia are one of the important production areas of coal mines, Qian Rujun did not know where the coal was, and it was really difficult to find something that could be burned.
Fortunately, there were a few snowfalls, and Qian Rujun thought that he could build a snow house.
So in the new station, in the heavy snow, there are many people working and building a snow hut that Qian Rujun said.
When the first snow house was brought in, the people of the baggage camp went inside, and after feeling the warmth inside, without saying a word, they collectively asked Qian Rujun to live in first.
Because the snow house was newly built for plants, it was not very large, so Qian Rujun had to make an excuse that this thing was not suitable for living and was too small.
But this snow room is really not big enough to match her identity, so it would be good to help her build a big one, and this snow room will be given, and the first hero of the snow room will live.
So then, everyone became more diligent, and some excellent snowroom workers lived in the snowroom one after another, and more small snowhouses were built at the same time.
Because Qian Rujun found that she was actually too greedy, she didn't need to build such a big snow house at all, and let the plants live in the small snow house have a worse ventilation effect, which can make the air inside warmer.
As a result, the garrison of Qian Rujun's heavy camp has formed a magical landscape, and a lot of small white bags have grown on the ground, with large white bags, which has become the most special landscape of this garrison.
Perhaps because it is too special and magical, it has attracted many Huns to visit.
The Huns next to Qian Rujun are not in vain, they often patrol the surrounding area, catch one or two Huns, and even sometimes the entire ethnic group is caught, and the Huns who come over, needless to say, Qian Rujun was directly brainwashed.
It's a pity that there are a lot fewer people watching her dance now, and they are not so religious.
Anything, too many times, is not unusual.
