Gao Qiu Dengsai Mountain, south of Mayi Prefecture.

Conquer the east and attack Hu, and leave no one behind.

The dome is reckless and firm, and there are clouds and sorrows.

The old and weak cry the road, and I wish to hear the soldiers rest.

Things are repeated, and the dead are piled up like hills.

The generals have already laid the ground, and they will drive who will conspire.

When Li Yu arrived in Mayi Prefecture, he became called Hanako again.

At the beginning of the mountain, Yang Qianye fled in shame, poor Li Yu...... I forgot to ask for money.

If you have money to travel all over the world, you can't move an inch without money.

Li Yu worked odd jobs, worked as a buddy, and pretended to be a beggar, struggling all the way, and finally arrived in Mayi Prefecture. Along the way, he has entered Longyou Road, and there is an advantage to arriving here, it does not have to be like the Central Plains boundary, and he has to pass everywhere, forcing him to only go over the mountains and mountains and go around the city.

The government orders here are hardly out of the state city, so the management is very lax. Li Yu originally planned to go around Longyou Road, get out of the Great Earthquake Pass, and then pass through Guannai Road, enter Gyeonggi Road, enter Chang'an, and find his mother. As a result, the little tadpole had a lot of trouble, and when he arrived at Mayi Pass, he learned a bad news that there was a war going on near the Great Earthquake Pass.

Even if the underworld heroes fight in groups, the common people still take a detour, not to mention that the army is fighting, and the customs defense card is also strict, a homeless person has to face the difficulties at this time, what do you want to do? Those rude soldiers are not good at judging cases, and nine times out of ten, they will throw you in prison first.

But this loss, I am afraid that it will be the result of ignoring it, and the conditions in the prison are not good, plague, disease, and death are pulled down. After hearing the news, Li Yu had to temporarily dismiss the idea of going to the Great Earthquake Pass.

Li Yu inquired about it, and said that the rebellion of the Great Earthquake Pass had a lot to do with Jieli Khan, who was at ease in Chang'an City at this time.

Jieli Khan, Ashina, the name of the Bushina clan, is the son of the Khan of Qimin. At the beginning, the Great Sui married into the Turks with Princess Yicheng and became the wife of Qimin Kehan. After the death of Qimin Khan, according to the custom of the ministry, he married Shibi Khan, the eldest son of Qimin Khan.

After the death of Shibi Khan, Princess Yicheng hated her eldest son, Ao She, who was shallow and ill-sighted, and changed her brother to be called Jieli Khan. After Jieli Khan succeeded to the throne, he remarried Princess Yicheng, who was his stepmother and sister-in-law, according to Turkic customs, inheriting the inheritance of his father and brother, and his soldiers and horses were strong.

Jieli Khan regarded himself as the son-in-law of the Great Sui, and invaded the border areas of the Tang Dynasty for many years, killing and plundering the people and looting property. Li Shimin was forced to come to Weishui in person and form an alliance with Weishui. At that time, the Central Plains had not yet stabilized, and Li Shimin was forced to retreat due to internal and external troubles.

And three years ago, that is, the third year when Li Shimin became the emperor, he finally sent Li Jing and Li Ji, two famous generals at the military god level, to attack Jieli with Xue Yantuo Khan Yinan and others, and the following year defeated Jieli in Yinshan, Jieli was captured and sent to Chang'an.

After Jieli arrived in Beijing, Taizong gave him a field house, awarded the rank of general of the right guard, and started his residence in Chang'an City. However, the northwest did not settle down because of this, after the defeat of Jieli's army, part of his old troops surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, part of them continued to move west, defected to Gaochang, and some of them turned their troops into bandits and became a disaster for the local area.

This time, the battle of the Great Earthquake Pass was that the four most powerful horse bandits joined forces to attack the Great Earthquake Pass. They have already become horse bandits, but they have no intention of fighting for the Great Earthquake Pass, but because the defenders of the Great Earthquake Pass have the responsibility of guarding the land and the border, and during a siege and suppression of horse bandits, they killed another big horse bandit leader.

These four horse bandit leaders are sad that the rabbit and the fox are dead, and they have the heart to give the Tang army who is guarding the Great Earthquake Pass a powerful look. That's what both sides did. It is precisely because it was the four horse bandits who shot that the war was lingering and it was difficult to distinguish between the two for a long time.

Because they don't take it as their mission to conquer the level, they just raid their security and rob their supplies. As soon as the officers and soldiers were dispatched, they roared away and fled.

When Li Yu heard that this was such a situation, he was dumbfounded. This kind of hellish war will take three or five months to fight, what should I do? From there, there is only one way to enter the Kannai Road, so is it possible to return the same way? It was cold, the first snow was coming soon, and he had no horses to walk on and no warm clothing, and if he returned, he would surely die.

In desperation, Li Yu had to settle down in Mayi Prefecture first. If you want to live here, you have to find a job. Because there was a war near the earthquake pass, the city was crowded with people who had fled, but if there was a spare job, it had already been robbed, and Li Yu wandered around the city for a long time, and he didn't find a job.

Later, an enthusiastic innkeeper pointed out to him: "You are in the city, don't try to find a job." Otherwise, you go to the east of the city, three miles east of the city, there is a Longjia Village. The shopkeeper of Longjiazhai is the largest leather merchant in our entire Mayi Prefecture, with 1,800 workers under his hands, and you still have the strength to take it, maybe he can accept it! ”

Li Yu heard this and hurriedly thanked the innkeeper, and when he saw that it was still too late, he immediately ran to the east of the city.

Li Yuyuan was also worried that Longjiazhai would not be easy to find, although it was only three miles away from the city. However, as soon as you get out of the city, it is a wild land of Pingchuan, and a village in the distance, which can be seen directly. When I got closer, before I entered the village, the smell of fur came through my nose, and I couldn't smell it or not.

Li Yu finally understood why this large-scale leather goods business was set up outside the city. This smell is set up in the city, and the surrounding people must not be happy.

The gate of Longjiazhai is open, unguarded, and there are many commercial vehicles from near and far in and out, which is very lively. As soon as Li Yu entered the village, he saw that the whole sheet of cowhides, sheepskins, pigs and horses, mule skins, and camel skins were hung everywhere, and the furs of mink, foxes, otters and other animals were also hung in rows to dry, no wonder the smell was so big.

But go further in, the smell is smaller, the original drying link of the fur is according to the wind direction, hanging on the whole village downwind, so the smell in the village is not particularly strong. The people in the village are busy, it seems that the whole village is making a living from the leather industry, and no one pays attention to Li Yu, an outsider.

Li Yu wandered around the stockade for a while, and saw a group of women scraping their skins in an open space next to them. The raw hides in the village must have been purchased from near and far, and after being transported to the village, they are 100% hard, so they have to be soaked in the "stinky tank" first, and then taken out after soaking softly, spread on the "scraping horse", and then scraped with a scraper to scrape the hair on the top of the leather and some remaining flesh, so that the skin becomes soft, so that the next process can be carried out.

Li Yu pondered that the woman was easy to talk to, so he leaned over. At this time, it is already winter, and there will be half a month at most before the New Year, in fact, it is not the best season for leather making. But this village is obviously doing very well, or has some unique winter leather making technology, so it is still busy with leather making work.

The women wore bloated fur coats so that they would not get dirty. One by one, they "scraped the horses" and shaved the fur carefully with a scraper, and Li Yu saw that there were two people in front of a "scraping horse", and he must have time to take care of him, so he walked over to them.

A woman in a bloated leather coat had her back to Li Yu, her chest was against the top of the "scraping horse", and there was a hole in the head of the skin, which hung on the bolt, and the wet skin was heavy and smelly. The woman was holding a spatula, and was scraping the skin over and over again, and judging by her technique, she was far less skilled than the others, and it seemed that she had just done this job.

Next to her, there was also a middle-aged aunt, with a sturdy body, Li Hei's face flushed with a healthy flush, and a white belly bandana tied on her head, instructing the woman how to shave her skin.

Li Yu walked closer and smiled before speaking: "Cough! This aunt, I don't know which person in charge of this village is responsible for recruitment, and there is still a shortage of workers? Long-term and short-term work are all successful, the salary is arbitrary, and I am a very hard-working person. By the way, my father was a leathersmith in the first place, and I know a little bit about leather making......

The dark-skinned aunt had not yet spoken, and the woman wearing a bloated leather coat, a white belly turban, a spatula in her hand, and clumsily shaving her slippery fur turned her head, looked at each other, and both of them were stunned. At this moment, Li Yu's belly and legs turned tendons, and he subconsciously wanted to slip away, but after thinking about it, he woke up.

"She didn't kill me last time, and now she won't, what am I running!"

The female worker who was dealing with the stinking and slippery fur that had just been soaked was actually Her Royal Highness Chiba, the princess of the Great Sui!
