Now the Qiang people are much richer than before, or rather, these Qiang people are much richer. The Qiang people were still under the control of slavery, and their wealth did not belong to individuals, but to the tribe, and the head of the tribe was similar to the slave owner.

During this period of time, the Qiang people came and went to do some trade, and these trades naturally brought rich returns to the leaders of these tribes, and naturally the leaders of these Qiang tribes accumulated a lot of money.

The items that had been picked up were quickly brought to the front, a lacquered box wrapped in brocade. Inside the lacquer box, is a white sweater.

Sweaters, when they were produced, I'm afraid I can't say when I sleep, but there are many prototypes, such as felt blankets, such as hemp weaving, but if you want to think of a variety of styles of sweaters that outline many patterns in later generations, it is indeed very rare.

Strictly speaking, Fei Qian's piece is not a sweater, and it does not have the weaving structure of the sweater itself, but it is woven according to the method of ordinary weaving, or it can be called woolen cloth.

But for Linagu of Baishiqiang, this is already a novelty enough. In particular, this color, which is almost pure white, makes Rinago even more intoxicated.

It was not easy to get a pure white color in the Han Dynasty. Even the carefully selected white kudzu cloth on the head of the ancient man was not pure white, but a slight yellowish-gray color.

In fact, it can be regarded as a chance, in the mining process of Luliang Mountain, the associated sulfur ore was discovered, although the quantity is not much, but this sulfur was immediately identified by the craftsmen. Thanks to the alchemy of the alchemists, sulfur ore, as an important alchemy raw material, has been very valuable for a while.

However, for Fidgen, it may be able to promote some of the chemical industry in later generations, one of which is bleaching, the bleaching of paper fibers, and the bleaching of wool.

Wool, even if it is an aries, actually has some yellow, such a variegated color is not very visible from a distance, it is very obvious before getting close, but this one in the hands of Linagu is so perfect under the effect of bleaching.

"This ...... This is ......" Rinagu gently stroked the sweater, because of the roughness on his hands, even hooked up one or two hairs, and the frightened Rinagu immediately retracted his hand, not daring to move anymore, just staring at it with his eyes, without blinking.

The Baishi Qiang people seem to have an extreme, paranoid hobby for white, and even pick up white stones on the road, they will put them in their backpacks and move them back home. Now that Rinaghu saw such a pure white garment, he was naturally overjoyed and difficult to himself.

“…… This is the purest white hair on a hundred white sheep selected by our Han craftsmen, and then after repeated screening and careful weaving, we made such a white ......" Fei Qian paused for a moment, and then continued, "...... Such a piece, the silver thread, well, yes, the silver thread...... Brother Shiraishi, what do you think of this silver wisped robe? ”

“…… A hundred sheep, this ...... This is naturally good, good baby......" Li Nagu muttered, "Silver Silk, well, Silver Silk, good baby......"

Fei Qian continued to agitate and said, "...... There are three most important benefits of this silver threaded clothing, one is soft, whether it is arrowroot cloth or linen clothing, it is not as soft as this silver threaded clothing; One is light, less than half the weight of a leather robe of the same size, like wearing a summer garment; One is warm, if there is such a piece to wear on the body in the cold winter, tsk, it is simply like being in the spring...... The most important thing is that this one is pure white, which requires a hundred Aries hairs to pick out such a one, and it is very labor-intensive and time-consuming......"

A hundred sheep, hehe, in fact, is just three or four sheep, a selection of relatively fine plush, braided, and only with wool, sheep can still continue to live, anyway, every summer, sheep always find a place to rub, so as to change the winter wool.

But these, for Linagu, naturally he is completely ignorant, looking at the white sweater worth a hundred sheep in Fei Qiankou, no, plus the cost of handicraft, it must be more than the value of a hundred sheep, Linagu's hands trembled a little.

“…… Brother Shiraishi ......" Fei Qian said, "Brother Shiraishi? Let's see, can this silver silk garment be sold for a ...... Well, how can you not lose money, then one hundred and twenty sheep? What do you think of one hundred and twenty sheep? ”

"One hundred and twenty?" Linagu's hand shook, and he almost didn't throw the brocade lacquer box in his hand, "...... This, this, this is too expensive! ”

After finishing speaking, Li Nagu reacted and said, "Why, general, why don't you keep such a treasure for yourself, how can you be willing to sell it?" ”

Fei Qian sighed and said: "Alas, some time ago, there was a big battle with the Xianbei people, and the victory was won, but there was also a loss of a lot of grain and grass. I can't help it, although it's a baby, yes, but you can't eat it as a meal...... Or I'd like to keep it until winter......"

Fei Qian's voice is full of emotion, Li Nagu naturally believes it, and in Li Nagu's heart, such a thing is indeed a treasure, not a last resort, it is naturally best to stay by his side,

However, Rina Gu rolled his eyes, put the lacquer box aside, and said, "...... It's a pity, this silver silk coat is indeed a good thing, but it is too expensive...... It's too expensive, I'm afraid I can't sell it......"

Fei Qian smiled, and was not in a hurry, but said slowly: "Of course, in addition to such precious silver wisps, there are also some relatively ordinary ......."

There is no harm if there is no contrast, and the next few sweaters packed in the kudzu bag are either variegated or simply gray and black, such a strong contrast makes Rinaghu feel that it is really unbearable.

“…… These are cheap, affordable, easy to use, and not bad for warmth, of course, they are not bad, and they should be compared with silver threads...... Hehe......" Fei Qian smiled, "...... Variegated, fifteen sheep, black, even ten sheep......"

"What?!" Rinaghu pointed to the variegated and black sweater and said, "...... Ten more sheep for this? Look at this coarse felt, it's almost the same as our coarse felt! ”

"Where is this, is there still a difference, your felt is so thick, can you wear it, and you don't cover your stinky sweat? Look at this, it's perforated, it's breathable, and it's comfortable to wear......"

“…… That's not more than ten sheep......"

“…… Well, how much is it worth...... you say"

Fei Qian and Linagu are like buyers and sellers squatting on a street stall, arguing endlessly over the price difference between one or two sheep, and finally reached an agreement, Linagu, as the dealer of this sweater, exchanged the sweater from Fei Qian for the price of ten sheep in variegated colors and seven sheep in black, as for how much he sold to the Western Regions, Fei Qian couldn't care......

Li Nagu thought that this transaction was the main thing, so he and Fei Qian thought about it for a long time, and finally reached an agreement, thinking that he had taken advantage of it, and he was happily a little proud.

But Linagu didn't expect that Fei Qian's sweater business was just a head.

In fact, the real focus of Feiqian is to change the dietary structure of the Han soldiers in the entire Pingyang and even in this area of the north.

Therefore, although Fei Qian looks a little heartbroken on the surface, he is actually quite happy.

Through this transaction, at least more than 300 sheep were obtained, which immediately relieved part of the pressure on grain and grass, and more importantly, the veteran poultry breeders transferred from the Qiang people could allow Fei Qian to reduce the early exploration time of large-scale poultry breeding, and even reduce detours and losses.

However, for Linagu, he didn't realize this at all, and he thought that the sweater business was the most important thing......

Normally, important things are put later, which is also in line with most people's habits, but Fei Qian didn't want the Qiang people to realize the importance of pig farms to Fei Qian, so he deliberately talked about it first.

The problem of grain and grass has indeed given Fei Qian a headache for a long time, but for this problem, even Jia Xu and Xun Chen have no particularly good solutions, perhaps because of their vision, or because all they can think of are more conventional measures, so they have not been able to provide better advice to Fei Qian.

Jujube only said that if it goes through the selection of excellent seeds in two or three seasons, then the grain and grass yield in Pingyang area should be improved, and then this variety will be brought to Yinshan for planting, and if it can be adapted, it will also increase some of the yield......

However, such food production, one is that the growth rate is relatively slow, and on the other hand, it is still not ideal for Fiqian. Fidive wanted something that would be easier to achieve and one that would be helpful for the future.

Grain and grass are like invisible shackles tied to Fei Qian's body, if you want to break through such a shackle, you must find a new path, and this road cannot fall into the hands of the scholars, resulting in the final traction by the scholars.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with Fei Qian's thinking of expanding grain channels in the past, and he blindly wants to expand grain production and increase the area of cultivated land......

Later, when he saw the food on the table, Fei Qian suddenly realized that he had missed a little. The people of the Han Dynasty, especially the soldiers, consumed so much grain and grass, a fundamental reason is that the intake of oils and fats is too small, and without oil, the people of the Han Dynasty have to eat more carbohydrates to ensure the body's functioning.

But if you change it to all the fat, let alone three or five buckets, it is estimated that just one bucket is enough to choke, which is the same as some buffets in later generations deliberately fried the dishes very greasy and sweet, which is a reason.

When the body consumes a certain amount of fat and sugar, the body will tell you the feeling of fullness, even if there is still room in the stomach, but it will lose its appetite and cannot eat. Therefore, from this aspect, as long as a certain amount of fat replenishment is ensured for these soldiers under him, the demand for the original carbohydrate type of grain and grass can be greatly reduced. And these reduced carbohydrate requirements are equivalent to Fei Qian can use the same amount of grain and grass to supply more soldiers.

And for Fei Qian, changing the diet structure is not only to reduce the need for carbohydrates, but also to improve the physical fitness of the soldiers, so why not?

At the same time, the manure produced by large-scale poultry breeding is the best biological fertilizer, which in turn can also promote the yield of farming.

For Feiqian now, the best source of oil is not cattle and sheep, but pigs. Although chickens and ducks are also good, there are many problems, and in the Han Dynasty, where there were no antibiotics, large-scale breeding was more likely to cause various problems than pigs. After all, pigs were raised on a large scale in later generations, and the most fundamental reason is that they grow fast and can give birth, and more importantly, they are not picky, and it is easier to raise.

However, if pigs are not raised well, they will be infected with various diseases like chickens and ducks, causing swine fever or something, so in the early stage, it must be assisted by the Qiang people who know more about animals.

Although the Xiongnu were equally good at animal husbandry, the Qiang had an advantage that the Xiongnu could not compare with at all. From the beginning of the Han Dynasty to the present, there has never been a big alliance, and occasionally a few slightly larger ones, such as what burns when Qiang, first zero Qiang, that is, it is short-lived, and then it will be defeated.

Therefore, with the help of the Qiang people, even if the Qiang people finally noticed something and understood the importance of such a move as Feiqian, it would not become a climate.

Although the current pig population, unlike the later generations has been improved, although it is castrated, but the smell is still relatively strong, not popular with the scholars, but for ordinary people and soldiers, a little oily and bloody, it is already a very good thing, what tastes and does not taste, that is a secondary problem......

There is also the trade volume of sweaters as an add-on, and this add-on is actually quite good.

Sweater, as a perennial Hu people in the land of wind and frost, is naturally quite a good kind of clothing to avoid the cold and keep warm, so Bai Shiqiang's Li Nagu didn't think much about it, and knew that this thing was a rare item for other Hu people in the Western Regions, and it was very practical, so he didn't have to worry about not being able to sell it......

But Fei Qian actually has to equip sweaters more on his own soldiers, and the sales to Linagu are only a small part, of course, it will be more refined, after all, Linagu took a lot of sheep in exchange, so naturally he wants to make Linagu feel that it is worth the money.

Therefore, both sides are happy......
