The sharp-witted tribesmen looked at the canvases that were connected to the fence, and felt at ease.
They didn't have such canvases. Even when the ice melted, they could only ride on sheepskin rafts.
They learned from the people on the other side of the Yellow River and speared fish in the small sea.
Needless to say, their hands were cleaned with soap and their faces were smeared with glycerin.
The children had glycerin on their faces and smiled brightly. They were careful not to rub the glycerin off when eating barbecued meat.
Their impression of the Tang dynasty was vague, but they looked forward to the arrival of the Heavenly Army.
They only wanted to sleep in a warm place in winter so that their sheep and horses wouldn't freeze to death.
They heard that in addition to building houses, there were also cave dwellings. It was just that there were a lot of sheep in the house. Yes, those who were rich knew how to bake bricks and build houses.
Nowadays, pepper and fennel were delicious, and milk tea was easy to drink.
Fu Difu looked at the children eating happily and then looked at the older people. He asked Jiang Gang, "What kind of house did we live in in the past?"
"Brick houses. Li Dongzhu let the people who lived in the cave dwellings come out and build houses in flat areas where landslides were less likely.
Dongzhu pointed out the location of the coal mines and sent people to teach them how to bake bricks and pottery.
The people dug coal together and sent it over. Then, they made their own bricks and tiles.
The skilled workers in charge of baking the kilns received extra bricks and coal as their wages.
You go over and help make the bricks. The houses won't be given to you out of charity. You can exchange for them through your own labor. "
Jiang Gang said something that shouldn't be his responsibility. Fu Difu brought the tribesmen to the place, and there would be officials to take over.
Li Dongzhu said that they would only feel at home when they were asked to work, and not as passersby.
Fu Difu took a sip of wine. "We have the strength. We'll exchange sheep for food first. The silage we prepared will be thrown away."
"You can raise the sheep yourselves and make cheese to exchange for things. We have a lot of silage and hay.
You can send people to form groups and patrol together. If you encounter enemies, you can fight together. The fodder will be your military pay.
You're a general, the deputy of the West River Military Advisor and the Chishui Military Advisor of the Bohai Commandery.
We'll also provide military supplies, such as quilts, mattresses, military coats, seven or eight pots, etc. "
Jiang Gang also took a sip of wine. After the light snow, there was no snow on the ground, so it was cooling down.
Fu Digi was slightly taken aback. "You're not taking our weapons?"
"It's not like you're surrendering. We're on the same side. Later on, the Turks were forced to the small sea, and you shifted your strategy from there." Jiang Gang smiled.
The tribe led by Fu Difu was different from other tribes. He had always been an official of the Tang dynasty.
The Tang dynasty was able to mobilize the Guli Army, especially to reinforce Hugestone City. Fu Difu led the Guli Army's warriors to help.
The Tang dynasty provided them with tea bricks, silk, and weapons.
He was similar to Su Lu, but Su Lu felt that his wings had hardened.
Therefore, he canceled the effects on the commandos. He didn't care if Su Lu was unhappy.
He had received the telegrams sent to Tubo along the way.
He would take the opportunity to beat up Su Lu again before winter.
Fu Diming nodded. "Yes, I'm a general of the Tang dynasty."
He always believed that he did not belong to the Tang dynasty. He only took the things that belonged to the Tang dynasty, did not fight with the Tang dynasty, and helped the Tang dynasty.
This time, he had no choice. The Tang dynasty had taken care of the Tubo, and the Later on, the Tang dynasty could not defeat the Tang dynasty.
He could either side with the Later on or side with the Tang dynasty.
When he reached the place, he would keep his weapons in case he suddenly rebelled.
Who would have thought that the Tang dynasty would really treat him as a general of the Tang dynasty? Things were different after that.
He could ask for more arrows if he lacked.
Thinking about this, he asked Jiang Gang tentatively, "We lack arrows. Ten thousand … five thousand?"
"Arrows are easy. There's no hurry. You guys are mainly targeting the Later on. I don't think they will attack in winter. You guys are mainly patrolling with them."
Jiang Gang smiled. I said that I wanted you guys to help me fight. It's just an excuse.
Who are you going to attack? The Later on, the Later on, will switch places with you. Our people will hold them off.
After winter, the Later on, will the Later on, dare to send troops to the south? Are they looking for death?
"Oh, oh!" Fu Difu remembered.
"If you guys like to go out and wander, head northeast. There's a large coniferous forest near the north.
There are a lot of pine trees and wild animals there. You guys can bring them back to exchange for things to support your family.
There are arrows. The Celestial Army is upgrading their equipment. The requirements for bows and arrows have been lowered. The ones that are eliminated are for you guys. "
Jiang Gang thought of an idea. He wanted to say it first and then report it to His Majesty.
There's a large red pine forest there. It's similar to the one in Bohai, but no one picks it.
The Xi Tribe will probably pick it this year. They have limited manpower.
"Pine nuts are tiring to eat. Picking them is troublesome. There's pine oil on your hands. It's not easy to peel them. Burn them together with the pine trees and then smash them."
Fu Difu had no love for pine nuts. There was a pine forest in Xiaohai. He didn't know how to deal with it.
If he had the time to eat, he might as well use the pine branches to burn.
"Dongzhu has a way to make the pine nuts open. They can be eaten with one's fingernails. They are very expensive in Chang 'an."
Jiang Gang felt a sense of superiority again. It came from his instructor, Li Yi.
Look, you guys have everything. You guys don't know how to use them. Even a pine nut is tiring to eat.
"200 Jin for a sheep?" Fu Difu wanted to know how much it was. It was most convenient to use sheep as a measurement.
"The sheep here? Five Jin for one. "
Jiang Gang gave a ratio. There were not many pine nuts. Ordinary people couldn't eat them.
"Let's rest there for two days and then look for pine nuts." Fu Difu felt that he had missed out on so much.
"The pine nuts sold in Chang 'an are five Jin for one sheep. It's good enough that you guys can get one sheep with the 30 Jin you guys picked."
Jiang Gang made it clear. When the other party came back with a bunch of pine nuts, if they couldn't get one sheep with five Jin, they would think that he was lying.
"40 Jin. Let's go." Fu Difu took the initiative to give in. 40 Jin was fine.
How long would it take to raise a sheep? How long would it take to pick pine nuts? There were many pine trees. Bring them back with a plow.
If they didn't peel them there, it would be too tiring. Bring them back for the children and the elderly.
Fu Difu thought about how the pine nuts would fall when they ripened. He was afraid of wasting them. He looked at his people. "Let's hurry up tomorrow. We won't rest. The grass can be used for a plow."
Fu Difu had made up his mind. If it snowed heavily, he would bring the plow back. If it didn't snow, he would use horses.
"Are you sure?" Jiang Gang turned to look for his telegraph. The other party had agreed. He had to report it.
"Go!" Fu Difu's mind was filled with thoughts of exchanging pine nuts for money.
Jiang Gang moved to the side and opened the box of the telegraph. He started to send the message.
During the day, he would shake it to charge the battery. He could use it at any time.
The message was sent out amidst the ticking sounds.
The Heavenly Soldiers were the first to receive it. Guan Yujin didn't sleep and continued to memorize the numbers.
When he received the message, he translated it and sent it out. He then brought the message to Zhang Jiazhen.
Zhang Jiazhen finished reading it. "Let's follow them. The forest is big and the Turks aren't a threat. Call the Xi tribe and the Khitans. Ask the other tribes that surrendered if they want to go."
He wanted to send a large number of troops to pick pine nuts. It would be a pity if they didn't pick them and leave them there.
"I'll send a message to Dongzhu." Guan Yujin sent another telegram.
