Time flies, and winter is quietly coming.

Winters in the ancient north were very quiet, and due to the low temperatures and the lack of sufficient charcoal and thick clothing, there were almost no marches and battles during the coldest two or three months, and most of them stayed at home to keep warm.

Tong Yuan remembered that the Dong family's family assets were extremely exaggerated before, and there were countless high-quality cloths, silk, furs, etc., which could come in handy at this time. Among them, there are more than 50,000 horses of ramie and linen, and 5,000 pieces of various furs.

He plans to use them to make military uniforms and winter coats.

In Mintun, after a month or two of busy land preparation and sowing, they just received linen cloth according to each tun and handed it over to each team to arrange to make winter clothes by themselves.

According to the allocated materials, each team makes 20 to 30 pieces of clothing, and assigns no less than 10 pieces of high-quality new clothes to each team in Mintun, and the rest is handed over to Juntun or sold.

As for the insufficiency, they naturally have their own reserves of clothes, or fill in the thin clothes with silk reeling, old fur and other leftovers, and those with a little savings can pay for new clothes, and no matter how bad they are, they can only borrow clothes to wear out like most people at that time.

The main event is on the side of the Dreadnought Army and the Bingzhou Army, Tong Yuan wants to equip them with high-quality clothes, so that they can go out for training and even small-scale combat in winter.

He arranged for Zhang Ji to organize the people of Juntun in Yunyang and Yaxian County to make fur coats for the dreadnought army. They were made of sheepskin, wool, and linen, and thick trousers and felt shoes lined with coarse linen.

Because it is used by family members or familiar soldiers, the enthusiasm of the military tun side is high, and in the end, about each team through the division of labor and cooperation, exquisite production of ten sets, a total of more than 8,000 sets of unified military winter clothes.

Cotton was only introduced in the Western Han Dynasty, and it was planted very little in this era. So, it's not rationed at all.

However, silk is not needed at this time, and it can be made into summer military uniforms or sold later.

On the side of Juntun, the two sides of the jurisdiction produce according to the manpower and tasks and the things worn by the state army, and this part does not uniformly use sheepskin and fur, but adds a lot of dog skin, rabbit skin, linen and other materials.

Such a configuration is better than ordinary winter clothes, and it is not a big problem to wear, patrol, and work in them, but it is not so good for snow combat camping.

After these affairs were arranged, he began to inspect the counties again, and the first stop was Beiqu County, north of Pi's. Beiqu County is located in the north of Ji County, Linfen City, Hukou Waterfall and Renzu Mountain in the territory, which are famous in China.

Tong Yuan planned to visit the place with Geng Qing and Pei Ji, but Zhang Lu said that he would go with him. He introduced, "To the north of Hukou Mountain in the territory, near Beiqu County, there is a mountain called Fengfeng Mountain. ”

Fengshan is the ancestral mountain, at this time it is only the heavy ear of Jin Wengong, and has a small reputation for taking refuge here. However, Taoism has its own opinion about this place, and it still gathers here from time to time.

Zhang Lu said: "There is a legend that in this mountain Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor once asked the Taoist Guangchengzi to teach the way to govern the world, and recently there are many Taoist friends here to worship Fuxi and Wa Huang. ”

"Hiroshiko!"

Tong Yuan was startled when he heard the famous characters in the gods, could it be that the era he had traveled through was not only the Three Kingdoms, but also a cultivator, if he could get Guangchengzi's earth-turning seal, it would be cool, the east slapped a Holy Mother to death, and the west knocked a Holy Mother into ashes.

Zhang Lu next to him showed a red face, his eyes flashed with brilliance, and said: "The general knows Guangchengzi Daozun!" I don't know if the general is willing to enter my door? ”

"Huh? I also want to calm the troubled times and make the world peaceful, plus I am entangled in mundane things, I am estimated to be too busy, and I am afraid that I will regret that I have no chance with the immortal family. ”

He wanted the magic weapon, but he didn't want to become the disciple of the Origin Tianzun. Owing a lot of humane teachings to Amitabha Buddha and Patriarch Bodhi, he has become weaker and weaker in a series of changes in the current situation, and he doesn't dare to enter.

Zhang Lu smiled mysteriously and said with great reverence: "Guangchengzi Daozun taught Emperor Xuanyuan the Taoist method, and once said, 'He illuminates the boundless darkness with the sun and the moon, and merges with heaven and earth, and only by following him can he live forever and ......', if the general has any understanding in the future, he can be calm and peaceful at any time, and pursue the avenue and eternal life."

It's over, who are the people under your hands? Huang Yu kept nagging, boasting that the past had already brought the atmosphere into the ditch, which gave rise to a spreading avenue and immortal life...... The team is not easy to bring.

Zhang Lu introduced his mentor Wang Zhen to live in this area, and even Pei Ji next to him couldn't help but interject: "Isn't it an Shujing immortal?" If you can meet it, you must invite the Pei family to preach and accept disciples......"

It's over, the Pei family has been recruited, this is really going to catch the key person, I don't know who will be next?

……

Tong Yuan arranged for Xu Rong and Wei Qi to deal with daily affairs, and asked Huang Yu and Xu Huang to keep an eye on Yu Fuluo, and then went to Beiqu County with Zhang Lu, Geng Qing, and Pei Ji with 500 soldiers and horses.

There are two reliable routes from Pishi to Beiqu, one is to take the official road in the mountains, and the other is to follow the Yellow River through Caisangjin and Hukou Mountains, and then enter the mountains.

After Geng Qing's introduction, he was very interested in the waterfall and the slender men, and planned to take the road along the river. Of course, the road was narrow and not accessible to carriages, and everyone set off on horseback.

The group was fast at first, but before long, their path became steep and difficult. The winding trails have all but disappeared in many places, blocked by numerous rockfalls and steep slopes. This season is very cold, and strong winds blow from the northwest, which hurts to the touch.

There is also snow in some places, which enhances the tranquility of the distant scenery and the hardships under the feet of the group. But who chose not to go into the mountains in winter but to travel along the Yellow River against the wind? Apparently he forgot that he wanted to see Hukou Waterfall.

On the third day, they finally arrived at Caisangjin.

This place is the first big port under Hukou Waterfall, and in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Jin Kingdom once defeated the Di people here. Now it is under the jurisdiction of the newly established Caisang Juntun, and the veterans from this place are selected to lead the people to manage and operate.

Tong Yuan and Geng Qing found the chief of the place to inquire about shipping, planting and the situation of the slender men.

Tun Chang introduced: "Cai Sangjin relies on the mountains and rivers, so two of the five subordinate teams are herding sheep and hunting, one is engaged in fishing and repairing boats, the other is planting some fruit trees and vegetables, and the last team is dedicated to serving the boats, including 40 slender families."

Geng Qing asked about the situation of Feng Bin, the leader of the slender man, and the tun chief remembered that this person was not only skilled in fiber pulling, but also very familiar with Dahe, and could have served as the captain, but unfortunately his foot was injured and he was not good at pulling fiber, so he had to be a vice captain.

After hearing this, Tong Yuan had an idea.

The Yellow River stretches for thousands of miles from the south of Hukou to the easternmost point of the river, and is currently governed by each county. Wouldn't it be nice to have an additional fleet of boats on the river to patrol and traffic in peacetime and use it for combat in wartime?
