The two big men discussed the major affairs of the military state, and many of the key ideas were still in the stage of argumentation, and Xue Qing was sleepy when he listened. www.biquge.info In fact, for Tiandao, it is only necessary to know the final battle plan.

Besides, once the war starts, any plan is nonsense. Xue Qing yawned. When I was wandering around the camp, I found that the house was killing chickens, ducks and sheep. The scraped wool is collected and can be used to weave carpets, or woolen sweaters or something. But the chicken feathers and duck feathers were abandoned. It really doesn't smell good.

Xue Qing squatted far away and fanned the wind with her hands. stared at the few cooks over there and quickly gave chicken and duck leg feathers.

Ruhua covered her nose and stood behind Xue Qing and said, "Your Highness, what's so beautiful about this, don't you have any ideas for new dishes?" ”

Xue Qing looked up at the sky and said, "It's getting hotter, isn't it, will it be cold at night?" ”

Ruhua said: "It's okay, although the temperature difference is large in the summer night in the Western Regions, a quilt is enough." ”

Xue Qing nodded and said, "It's enough to choke in winter, don't say it's night, it's not even during the day, the dripping water turns into ice." ”

Ruhua said: "Don't say it's winter, even when we first came here this spring, we couldn't stand it." If this war drags on until winter, I'm afraid it will be unfavorable to us, after all, the Huns are used to the bitter cold land in the far north on the Mobei grassland. ”

Xue Qing smiled: "Not only this winter, we still want to take root in the Western Regions." There are many winters ahead. Tiandao still wants to explore the world. Do you know that there is a colder place in the world than Mobei? ”

Ruhua said with a smile: "The slave knows that when Tiandao was in class, he said that if you go all the way to the north, or go all the way to the south, it will be all ice and snow. As far as the eye can see, it is full of 10,000 years of ice. But no one has seen it. To be honest, the slave couldn't believe it. ”

Xue Qing smiled lightly and did not speak. The Antarctic and Arctic ladies haven't been either, but that's certainly true. Isn't the compass still usable, then the pole must be there.

Xue Qing instructed: "Hua, you go and get some duck feathers, wash them and dry them." Be sure to take the trouble to wash it several times until it is clean and smellless. ”

Ruhua was stunned: "What does Your Highness want to do with duck feathers." Do you cook? Can this thing be eaten too? ”

As he was talking, Li Ying ran over with something in his hand and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, come and see." ”

Xue Qing looked at Li Ying's side: "What do you see, why are you running here to do something wrong without going to do business?" ”

Li Ying nodded towards the thing in his arms and said, "This is the right thing Your Highness ordered." ”

Xue Qing looked down and saw that it was actually an swaddling baby. Inside is a small child, newborn look. He hadn't even opened his eyes, and his little faces were wrinkled together. I can't tell what it looks like.

Xue Qing was stunned: "Found it so soon?" Where did it come from? ”

Li Ying said: "It's the child of a criminal sent from Hexi, and he was just born yesterday." ”

Xue Qing said: "It's him." It would be reasonable for Bo Wanghou to say that the child was like him when he was a child, and he didn't look like his mother at all. ”

Li Ying nodded and said, "Then the humble post will be sent over." ”

Xue Qing asked, "What about the child's parents?" ”

Li Ying said: "Originally, I was a slave of sin, but I was redeemed by the way, and I arranged to do some work within my ability in Zhangye." Your Highness can rest assured. ”

Xue Qing nodded: "Well, then you should hurry to the west." Let Bo Wanghou and Li Guang keep a closer eye on that side. By the way, I comforted Bo Wanghou for the palace. ”

Li Ying took the child and led the people to the west, and Xue Qing urged Ruhua, who was still in the circle, to take a few people to collect a batch of duck feathers.

I don't know if this thing is okay with chicken feathers. It is said to be down and down. But it seems to be all about duck down. Isn't chicken down okay? And what velvet or something. But where to find ready-made swans?

Ruhua could only take a few maids to endure the stench, and took the feathers in a bamboo basket to the stream to wash. It took more than a dozen catties of pig pancreas to wash all the duck feathers.

Then Xue Qing instructed them to scoop up the duck feathers and spread them out to expose them to the sun, but the strong wind in the Western Regions was coming, and the feathers were almost dry. A gust of wind blows the duck feathers and dances anything.

Xue Qing's face was clouded. Don't be so funny yet.

Turning his head to stare at Ruhua. Ruhua was at a loss and pointed to the duck feathers and snow in the sky, pointed to herself, and then pointed to the dining room over there and said: "Your Highness, it's not that the slave maid wants to be lazy, there are really no duck feathers, and I will kill dozens of ducks today." ”

The corners of Xue Qing's mouth twitched, and she squeezed out a few words and said, "The soldiers train hard, let's have a meal at night." Stew a duck soup and comfort your work. ”

Ruhua rolled her eyes, and could only go to the dining room to kill the duck's leg hair quickly.

This time I finally had duck feathers, but it was almost dark after washing. I took it out to dry the next day. After drying it, Xue Qing still felt that it smelled, so she asked Ruhua to take someone to wash it seventeen or eighteen times, and then dried it the next day. After that, let Ruhua take someone with a knife to cut off all the fluff on the feather stem.

Ruhua They were doing this in a tent, and when Xue Qing walked in, she saw that the entire tent was full of tiny fluff flying all over the sky. Don't say anything about hair on clothes, even on the face and inside of the nostrils. Xue Qing could only find a few more people to make masks out of silk and put them on. I hid outside and waited for them to get it right.

While waiting outside, I was thinking that this road is the Silk Road, and silk is currently the main force of China's foreign trade. In these years, whether it is tea or porcelain, it has not yet begun to play. The market has not yet been formed. Only the Heavenly Dao began to test the waters, but there was no climate.

Silk is the fist product of foreign trade, this thing can only be manufactured by the Han Dynasty, and what linen cloth and cotton cloth are in other countries, it is almost the same. I didn't dare to think of such a high-end thing.

To have silk, you have to have silkworms, and you have to have mulberry leaves. It also needs to be carefully raised. Silk reeling and weaving are indispensable, so the Han people are not afraid that they can learn the past.

But this down is different, and this thing is probably difficult to keep secret. As long as someone gets one, cut it open and see how it works. It's not hard to imitate.

It seems that this is not some secret weapon that can be used to do a unique business, and it can never be hidden from others. But it is also a good thing to be able to solve the problem of Tiandao's quilting in winter. As long as human beings wear down jackets, they dare to go regardless of whether it is Mount Everest or the Arctic Circle. You wear a thick, heavy cotton suit to try it out. Directly exhausts you. Xue Qing: This can be regarded as a benefit to mankind. (To be continued.) )
