……

Ashina Simo still couldn't understand it, how could Zhao Tuo make such a request?

If you hand over the secret recipe for wool processing to the Tang Dynasty, won't you have nothing left?

Zhao Tuo explained to him that the Tang Dynasty people would figure out the method of handling wool sooner or later, so it was better to send it out as soon as possible and make a big favor.

Also, the market in the Tang Dynasty was so big, how much wool could be produced by relying on the small workshop of the Ashina Simo tribe?

Instead of doing wool products business, it is better to specialize in wool raw material business, which has a large amount and faster money!

Moreover, the profits of the wool business are too great, how can Ashina Simo monopolize it! Don't get your wealth and get it, disasters keep coming!

Ashina Simo doesn't understand anything, instead of explaining to him slowly, it's better to just tell him to do it!

……

……

Two years have passed

The ice city of the past has really become a majestic city, standing on the grassland!

Under the joint efforts of the Ashina Simo tribe and the Tang Dynasty, today's Ice City has become a trading hub connecting the grassland to the Central Plains!

Bingcheng is not only a trading and freight center between the two places, but also the largest source of wool!

There are many grassland tribes who want to attack the ice city on the grounds of Ashina Simo's betrayal of the grassland, but Datang directly sent a force of 50,000 people to be stationed in the ice city and established the capital protection mansion to protect and guard the safety and stability of the ice city at all times.

……

Zhao Tuo, who has lived in Bingcheng for two years, decided to travel

Follow the merchants who come and go, and plan to go to the Western Regions to see the customs there!

Unexpectedly, Jimmy sneaked behind Zhao Tuo.

In the carriage, Zhao Tuo looked at Jimmy sitting in front of him, patted his forehead, and said helplessly: "What's the matter with you coming over?" ”

Jimmy gritted his teeth, smiled, and said, "I'm going to hang out with you!" ”

Zhao Tuo said loudly: "Such a big ice city is not enough for you to play?" ”

Jimmy replied, "Icecity, I've been bored for a long time!" ”

"Then you come out, does Ashnasimo know? Aren't you afraid that he will worry? ”

Jimmy looked ugly and said helplessly: "He stays in his palace all day, with all kinds of beautiful women as companions, how can he think of me!" ”

"I've already left a note, and I've told the maid that I'll go out with you, and they won't worry about me!"

Zhao Tuo said with a bitter face: "They don't worry about you, I will worry about myself!" ”

Like a kitten, Jimmy slowly climbed onto Zhao Tuo's body with one hand and the other, and asked with a smile, "What are you worried about!" ”

Zhao Tuo was really speechless, he couldn't imagine how the innocent and lovely Jimmy he saw at the beginning had become this goblin!

It's all because that night, Jimmy somehow sneaked into his bed and said that he wanted to submit himself, the best warrior of the grasslands!

But how could she have subdued this fiery horse, and the next day she would have her bones broken!

In the days to come, she came every day, and after a long time, Zhao Tuo felt that the plow was about to be broken, so he secretly changed his residence, but she found it within a few days!

Zhao Tuo begged for mercy for a long time before she let herself go!

……

All the way

Zhao Tuo came to a beautiful fairyland on earth, Loulan!

Loulan, formed by an oasis in the desert, is like a lost pearl and sits here.

Surrounded by Gobi cliffs on all sides, with a lake in the center, the city and green vegetation blend together, like a paradise!

The caravan slowly walked into Loulan, meeting many caravans from all over the world along the way, and also meeting all kinds of people.

People who are wrapped all over their bodies, blue-eyed beauties with their belly buttons and thighs exposed, black people with dark bodies...

The caravan rested at an inn, and Zhao Tuo and Jimmy walked to the market to have a good time.

The stalls on both sides of the road were filled with all kinds of strange goods, and Zhao Tuo actually saw a diamond the size of a pigeon's egg!

He sat down quietly, looking down at the various gems on the stall, this one took it, the other picked it up and looked at it, and said to the merchant, "Boss, how do you sell all these things?" ”

The merchant smiled and said, "These are all gems I have bought from various places, each of which is rare for a hundred years, and it costs at least 100 gold!" ”

Zhao Tuo shook his head and said, "It's too expensive!" ”

He casually pointed to the diamond and said, "How much does this crystal cost?" ”

The merchant glanced at the diamond pointed by Zhao Tuo, and immediately shook his head and said: "This is not a crystal, but a diamond, such a big one, if you want it, I will charge you two hundred gold!" ”

Zhao Tuo shouted loudly: "What stone is two hundred gold, forget it!" ”

Turning around and about to leave, the merchant immediately said, "The price is negotiable!" ”

Zhao Tuo turned back to him and said, "One hundred gold, I still want the little turquoise next to me!" ”

The merchant listened to Zhao Tuo's words, made a bitter face, and said reluctantly: "This price is too low!" ”

Zhao Tuoke understands that gem merchants like them are all first-hand sources of goods, and they have no capital to buy, and what they give is already sky-high!

Ignoring the merchant's complaints, he kept looking at him, and finally the merchant nodded and helped Zhao Tuo wrap up the two gems.

Zhao Tuo paid the money, looked at the diamond in his hand, and smiled from ear to ear!

Continue wandering the shopping street

Jimmy kept staring at the diamond in Zhao Tuo's hand, and his eyes didn't leave for a moment, Zhao Tuo said helplessly: "When I go back, I will find a craftsman and use it to create a necklace for you, which is guaranteed to make you beautiful!" ”

Jimmy happily took Zhao Tuo's hand and whispered in his ear

"Really!"

Zhao Tuo looked excited after hearing this, and wanted to go back to the inn immediately, but he shook his head again to calm down and continue shopping.

As he walked, he took out the turquoise stone again and put it in the palm of his hand to observe.

When Zhao Tuo touched it, he always felt a strange fluctuation, and he couldn't see it when he looked closely, so he thought that he had time, so he smashed it open to take a look, what was so strange!

On the way back to the inn, Zhao Tuo heard that Queen Loulan was going to hold a grand parade tomorrow!

Queen Loulan, rumored to be the first beauty in the world, but few people have seen it, and tomorrow's grand ceremony will open her eyes!

Zhao Tuo is also looking forward to it!
