After years of war, Guanzhong and Hedong and other places are not only short of horses, but also cattle and sheep. Although in the past two years, in order to alleviate this problem, the Department of Commerce has vigorously bought cattle and sheep from all over the country, but the quantity is a drop in the bucket after all. Although cattle and sheep are not like war horses, they are very strictly controlled by various ethnic groups, but in the final analysis, cattle are still an extremely important means of production. However, the most in their hands is in the hands of the Hu people in various border areas, and they will not be so kind to sell cattle and sheep to the Huashan Army.

Of course, some small tribes don't have too many worries, after all, as long as they live, they can only have enough benefits. The ones who really get in the way are actually those who have the intention of going south to plunder all the time. For example, the Huns, Xianbei and so on!

"That's exactly what I wanted! In the future, your household department should start more from this aspect! The land of Longxi is full of people, but because of the relative remoteness and barrenness of that place, the population has not been able to grow. I think that you can set up a few farms in the land of Longxi, which are specially used to trade with the Hu people in the West Sea area. You can trade anything other than what is forbidden. Such as tea and so on! As long as business there improves, Longxi and other places will naturally have more and more populations. The most important thing is that as long as those Hu people find out that they will benefit more after submitting to us, they will naturally not think of making enemies of us! Li Xin knew what he meant, but in fact, he also thought about it in his heart.

"Yes, what the general thinks is exactly what the lower official said! Xia Guan felt that after the household department opened farms in various parts of Longxi, the official was responsible for purchasing the Hu people's medicinal materials, furs, cattle, sheep, horses and other things! Then, we can sell all these things to other places, so that we can not only get things for our own use, but also get greater profits! That's a good thing to count in one fell swoop! Wu Hui listened and couldn't help but rejoice.

This was exactly what he wanted to do, and when he thought of the scene of the business fire in the future, the businessman's temperament in his heart was fully revealed.

"When you go back, think about it! Come up with a plan as soon as possible, and if it's really feasible, I'll agree! By the way, speaking of which, I have to remind you first that the salt produced in that area of the West China Sea must be in our own hands! According to the practice of the past, the government was responsible for production, and salt tickets were used for sales! In this matter, you can find a way to win those Hu nobles in and give them the right to sell some salt, so that after they get benefits from it, they will support us even more! Seeing that he seemed to have found his favorite toy, Li Xin couldn't help laughing. However, he soon thought of something else and hurriedly explained.

The West Sea is Qinghai Lake, and there is a large amount of natural salt in that area. Moreover, the quality of the salt there and the salt of Hedong have to be matched, and they are all directly dried by the sun. Since the appearance of Qinghai Lake, I don't know how many years have passed.

Although the ancestors of that area have long discovered the use of lake salt, due to the small population, I am afraid that only a little bit has been used until now. If these extremely low-cost salts are obtained, it will be another great source of revenue for the Huashan Army.

It is important not to let these resources fall into the hands of the Hu people. Otherwise, they will use this thing to accumulate more and more capital, and the final result will naturally go without saying.

Give them benefits, let them join in it, but can't control the overall situation. This is the best choice for Huashan Army.

Moreover, now that Xiping County has just been taken, this is on the edge of the West Sea, and the transportation is just convenient!

Hearing this, Wu Hui's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "The general is right!" There is indeed salt production there, and we can set up a salt officer in Xiping County to be responsible for this! ”

"Go ahead and do it! We lack everything now! Especially if there is a lack of time, otherwise, things can be done slowly! Li Xin nodded, and then sighed.

In the military horse farm, Li Xin stayed for four days, and then rushed back to Chang'an with Wu Hui and Peng Lin. After all, there were a lot of things going on in Chang'an City, and it was impossible for him to leave for too long.

Not long after entering the city, before entering the general's mansion, he met Zhou Ting. Since last year's Chinese New Year, they had met once, but in the past six months, because of the war, they have not seen each other.

Therefore, Li Xin, who originally planned to enter the mansion directly, changed his mind and was going to chat with Zhou Ting and talk about the old days. After all, Zhou Fang is not in Chang'an, and Zhou Tong is far away in Jincheng, and Zhou Ting is a little too lonely if she stays in Chang'an alone. And in the end, it seems that he is the one who caused this result!

Zhou Ting, who was notified by the sixth son, was able to enter the lobby. Although she often comes to the General's Mansion, she hasn't been here in this hall yet! Because this is the most solemn place in the entire Great General's Mansion, and it is also the most heavily guarded place!

"The people's girl meets the general!" After Zhou Ting walked into the lobby with Lu'er, she saluted Li Xin in a proper manner.

"Okay, okay, why are you and I so polite! Find your own place to sit! It's tiring to stand and talk! Seeing her smile and look at herself, you knew she was doing it on purpose. Li Xin couldn't help waving his hand and said.

Hearing this, Zhou Ting found a seat under Li Xin's desk and sat down, and at the same time, looked at everything around curiously. In fact, the majesty of this hall is better than the gorgeous, after all, Li Xin does not like the feeling of splendor.

"Have you been in touch with your father or brother lately? Have you ever been to see your father in the past year? After the tea was served, Li Xin asked.

"I contacted you once, before April, and then you were going to war, where would you have time to write letters! It's Grandpa's place, when he was still in Hedong, I went there twice. However, then he got busy, and I was fine to be alone, so I came back! Zhou Ting flashed her eyes and said.

"Blame me! If I hadn't arranged Uncle Zhou to go so far away, you would have seen him often! I think, or you can move to Uncle Zhou! It's good to accompany him, the old man is not! Hearing this, Li Xin felt a little guilty and said.

After all, after coming to this world, the Zhou family was very good to themselves. Seriously, Zhou Fang simply regarded himself as his own son. From the past to the present, this family has stood firmly behind them in whatever they do.

"How? There's so much more going on in my workshop! If I'm gone, what will happen to these workers? Are they not allowed to eat? Hearing this, Zhou Ting immediately shook her head and said.

With the increasing scale of the Huashan Army, Zhou Ting's business is now getting bigger and bigger. But she is also quite measured in her heart, so except for the military uniform and the official uniform, there are almost no other things. In this way, it will save others from making irresponsible remarks.

After all, her current identity is different, and she is too deeply involved with Huashan Army. Although Li Xin and these people know nothing, in the eyes of outsiders, I am afraid that they will speculate wildly. That is not a good thing for the image of Huashan Army, although this kind of thing is very common in the world today.

"That's right! So be it! When the situation eases up in the future, I will simply transfer Uncle Zhou back! Li Xin nodded, thought for a while, and then said.

"That's a good idea, anyway, you can decide for yourself! Maybe my grandpa doesn't want to come back! Zhou Ting said noncommittally.

"By the way, did you come to the General's Mansion today for delivery?" Smiling, Li Xin asked.

"That's right! The last batch of military uniforms and bedding is ready! After acceptance, it can be shipped directly! It's getting colder and colder this day, so you can't delay your business! Zhou Ting nodded.

"Speaking of this, something suddenly occurred to me! Do you still use silk and silk to make quilts recently? Hearing this, Li Xin groaned for a moment, and suddenly asked.

"What do you use without silk and linen? Can't you use fur? That thing is good, but there are so many soldiers in our Huashan Army, and it is impossible for everyone to afford to wear it! For this question, Zhou Ting was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but say.

"I'm not talking about fur! I'm talking about something very soft, white as snow, called cotton! Do you know this thing? Hearing this, Li Xin couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Cotton? What kind of flower is this? You're not talking about cloth, are you? Or is it the white stack over there in Gaochang? Zhou Ting asked curiously.

"Cloth? What is Fabric? What is a white stack? Li Xin was also confused and couldn't understand!

"Alas, I don't understand that! The cloth is a kind of cloth woven in Ningzhou, and the material used in this cloth is different from the general silk silk and linen, as if it is quite similar to the cotton you said. There is a kind of white stack on the side of Gaochang, which is almost like this! However, there are not many of these two things, so how can they be used to make clothes? Zhou Ting sighed and said helplessly.

Ningzhou refers to the Yunnan side, which was still under the jurisdiction of Ningzhou at this time, and is now under the control of Jiangzuo. Needless to say, Gaochang is the Western Regions, which is later Xinjiang!

"So, do you have a sample there? How about showing me? Li Xin thought for a moment and said.

"You want to see? I just brought a little bit on me.,I was going to show it to the adults of the household.,Maybe you can add some of this thing to everyone's official uniforms in the future! Lu'er, take out the things and let the general see them! Hearing this, Zhou Ting hurriedly instructed Lu'er.
