This is the end of the annual festival of bad luck on the grassland, and the next thing is to wait for Jieli to distribute the pastures of the various tribes in the following year.

It's just that before that, he still has one thing to do, and that is to experience the so-called underfloor heating tent.

The location is naturally at Qin Ze's residence, and Su Yi has actually come to experience it before Jie Li comes.

This way of heating made Su Yi very surprised. Because as long as you burn coal or firewood on the fire pit outside, the whole house will be very warm. She even lifted the thick blanket that lay on the floor with great interest, and kept touching the hot stone slab with her hands.

It may be cold outside that you have to wear a robe, but as soon as you enter this tent, it is like spring, and you feel hot and dry, and you want to take off your robe immediately.

In fact, the reason why Su Yi felt this way was entirely because Qin Ze added a few more fires to the fire kang, which would make the temperature of the entire tent rise sharply.

It's a pity that she didn't take it off after all, but she was very interested in the stove. He also made a pot of butter tea himself, and then happily took it and went to Jieli's tent.

Then the master of the grassland also came to Qin Ze's tent happily. He still walked around the tent as if he was in plain clothes, and filled the kang with some coals himself, until he was so hot that he was sweating all over, and then he left laughing.

Soon this tent no longer belonged to Qin Ze, but became an example for various tribes to follow. Now the leaders of various tribes on the grassland are here, as long as they can learn it, they can naturally spread this method to all corners of the grassland.

And there is a lot of coal on the grassland, and it was not dug before because it was not used, but now that it is available, it is natural to vigorously exploit it.

All of this should be done before the cold winter comes, so that the herders can have a stable winter.

It only took eight days for Qin Ze to build a kang and stove, but just explaining it to these people took him five days. In the end, these people still felt uneasy, so they directly divided the craftsmen who participated in the production at the beginning.

This proves that sometimes being smart can really be mistaken by being smart. It wasn't until all the craftsmen were carved up that Qin Ze realized how stupid he was. Why didn't you think of letting them go with the craftsmen directly?

After getting what they wanted, everyone began to leave one after another, and this time Qin Ze did not continue to follow the Di tribe. Now he belongs to the Suyi Chamber of Commerce, and now the Suyi Chamber of Commerce is still staying on the Watuer grassland, and Qin Ze naturally wants to stay here.

What's more, because of the fire kang, Jieli directly rewarded Qin Ze with 300 horses and 1,000 sheep. Although Turkic horses and sheep are not valuable, no matter how worthless they are, in the face of such a large number, it is also very optimistic.

At this time, Qin Ze's assets are on the grassland, and he is already equivalent to a middle-class herdsman. However, Zhou Cheng has never raised horses and sheep, so if they let them raise these things. I guess I only think about how to make them delicious?

Qin Ze originally wanted to recruit some people who raised horses and sheep, but Qin Ze just said his confusion. encountered the biggest trouble, that is, the young man Mao volunteered to stay.

Qin Ze didn't know why this guy was here, but the next day, Qing Xiao took dozens of people from his tribe and set up a camp near Qin Ze's tent.

Since then, when I have been herding horses and sheep on weekdays, I will also take them to the city by the way, so that they can learn from them. But it has to be said that with him here, 300 horses and sheep are indeed alive and well.

As for Qin Ze, he also has his own thing to do now, that is, to transform Jieli's tent. His tent is different from the ordinary herdsman's dwelling, and other people's tents are only three feet in size at most. However, Jieli's residence is directly composed of about 20 tents of more than 10 zhang.

With such a large area, the floor heating made by ordinary methods is estimated to have completely cooled down before the heat has not covered the entire ground. So Qin Ze had no choice but to make layers of heat recovery layers under the tent, so as to ensure that the heat could reach every corner.

This is a big project, even if Qin Ze has some many craftsmen to help, he has to take his time little by little.

It's just that what I didn't expect was that this year's winter came a little early, and it was only mid-October, and a heavy snow fell completely.

As soon as the snow fell, the grassland completely changed its appearance, compared with the snow scenery such as the Yinhu Lake in the larger Tang Snow Mountain, the landscape on the grassland was more spectacular.

As soon as the snow comes, the horses and sheep can no longer graze, but fortunately, there was a reminder from the young people before, so Zhou Cheng and they also hoarded a lot of forage, presumably they should be able to let these horses and sheep survive this winter.

If it really doesn't work, then slaughter it directly, anyway, your adult cooking skills are unparalleled, and you won't treat your tongue badly.

If the young people knew that Zhou Cheng had been fighting with this intention, it was estimated that they would regret teaching them to herd so responsibly.

But the heavy snow still had some benefits after all, although in this way Qin Ze's renovation of Jieli's residence was a little slower, but he had more opportunities to meet Tang Jian.

Tang Jian didn't go, anyway, it snowed heavily on the grassland, and it was inconvenient for people and horses to walk. In addition, he was still worried about Qin Ze's safety, so he just stayed.

Originally, Qin Ze thought that he could take advantage of the convenience of building floor heating for Jieli to take the opportunity to contact Tang Jian, but this was simply impossible.

First, Tang Jian and the others lived far away from Jieli itself, and secondly, Qin Ze could also clearly feel that the surveillance around Tang Jian had been strengthened much compared to before. In this way, Qin Ze's wishful thinking also failed.

However, Qin Ze was not in a hurry, there was heavy snow on the grassland, so he would have to wait until the spring of the next year. And before that, he had almost five months to go, and five months was enough for him.

Jieli's residence took Qin Ze a full month, and the benefit was that he owned more and more horses and sheep.

In winter, there is even less food on the grasslands, and now the relationship between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty has dropped to a freezing point. Although it has been relieved now because of Tang Jian's envoy, it is still because of the heavy snow, which has blocked the footsteps of the Tang merchants.

In this way, the number of Hu merchants has greatly increased, and the presence of these guys can be seen in various parts of the grassland. But these guys are too ruthless, a small bag of spices costs a tael of silver, although the Turkic silver is not valuable, but it can't be so excessive!

As a result, the Suyi Chamber of Commerce took Jieli's order and began to open up trade with Tang merchants again......

This is Qin Ze's fourth month in the grassland, and the wedding clothes in Wang Yuxi's hand have been embroidered three pairs. It is made of pure gold wire, the stitches are delicate and smart, and under the light of the warm autumn sun, it is like flapping its wings and flying high.

The leaves of the paulownia trees outside the window are yellow, and when the autumn wind blows, they all fall scattered. Occasionally, a leaf would fall into the window, and Wang Yuxi would gently pick it up, then wipe it clean with a fine silk cloth, and then send it out of the window.

In the courtyard, Wang Fu hurriedly walked in and looked at his sister. Seeing her looking at the fallen leaves with her eyes intent, she also sighed.

"Shaopu, you're here." Wang Yuxi found the young man, and also withdrew his gaze and said to Wang Fu.

"The Taiyuan Chamber of Commerce has now completely opened up all the business roads in Longyou, Lingzhou, Jingzhou, and Shuozhou...... It's all complete. Now that Tang Gong has sent an envoy to the Turks, the situation at the border has eased slightly, and I am ready to take people to the grassland, and this time I came to say goodbye to my sister. ”

The reason why they left the Wang family's family is that they can still live so nourishingly. It's not because of what a shrewd father they have, on the contrary, it's all thanks to Wang Yuxi's hard work. It was she who made a small weaving mill to where it is today.

The appearance of Qin Ze has brought the Wang family's business to a higher level, and all the trade in the Longyou Trade Road and the border has been monopolized by the Taiyuan Chamber of Commerce. Don't think that this is so little, you must know that if it weren't for Qin Ze's reasons, it is estimated that Li Er would have looked for an opportunity to suppress the Taiyuan Chamber of Commerce a long time ago.

There is no chamber of commerce that can stand on the head of officials and businessmen, Wang Fu knows this very well, so even if it is sixty percent, he is gradually giving up. Sancheng, this is the maximum limit that Qin Ze told him.

All officials and businessmen can use the business established by the Taiyuan Chamber of Commerce for free, and this condition alone instantly made the Taiyuan Chamber of Commerce gain a firm foothold.

And you must know that the role of Shangdao is not only to transport some goods, Qin Ze originally set up warehouses in every place. In this way, it is faster to transport some war materials than the official route. And in this way, Li Er will be even more difficult to do to the Chamber of Commerce.

It stands to reason that the Taiyuan Chamber of Commerce has come to this place, and what it has to do is to stabilize all this, but Wang Fu knows what he wants to do.

Prairie, that's what they're aiming for.

"I've worked hard for you these days." Wang Yuxi beckoned to Wang Fu and let him come closer. Stretched out his hand to grab him and said, "I know what you went to the grassland for, so let the shopkeeper go there." If something happens, how can I explain it to my father? ”

"It's okay, the grassland is now completely blocked by heavy snow, and they need us the most now." Wang Fu said a little stubbornly.

The things he believes will not change, and Wang Yuxi knows this very well in his heart.

"If you really want to go, you have to wait until the weather is warm next spring before entering the grassland, otherwise the horses of the Chamber of Commerce will freeze to death."

"We will naturally know this, we will arrive in Lingzhou first, and then where to wait until the weather is warm, and then enter the grassland. It's just that these things in Taiyuan will be more troublesome for my sister. Wang Fu said that at the end, a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This is his other purpose, he must divert Wang Yuxi's attention, and handing over the Chamber of Commerce to her is the best way.

Wang Yuxi couldn't see through Wang Fu's thoughts, and at the moment he also stretched out his hand and tapped lightly on his head, and said with a smile: "After all, I am an adult, and I have learned to calculate my sister." ”

"Then it's going to trouble my sister." When Wang Fu heard Wang Yuxi's words, he also laughed very happily.

A fallen leaf came from the window again, and Wang Yuxi stretched out his hand to take it. He took out a fine silk and wiped it again......

Paulownia leaves, the leaves of the legend to be able to hear acacia.

"The essence is clean and clean, and it is unbearable to call it filthy and trapped."

On the Chang'an Bashui Bridge on the other side, a brocade-clothed girl also whispered softly. Qian Qian's hands were full of paulownia leaves, and he was carefully putting them into his purse......
