"Yesterday, you said that you have a brother. Do you think you can …"
Jia Guixing stopped before he finished his sentence.
"Taizong and His Majesty are very good!" Pirunuhan mentioned two people.
As for Li Shimin and Li Longji, one was the second son, while the other was the third son. Both of them had become emperors.
"But Taizong and His Majesty were …"
Jia Guixing couldn't continue. He wanted to say that they had experienced the Xuanwu Gate.
"In fact, my eldest brother is similar to King Tan. King Tan was injured while hunting. My brother fell ill not long after he was born. It took a long time for him to recover. Then one of his legs couldn't move and he always drooled."
Pirunuhan talked about the situation of his brother.
He continued, "My second brother is more than a year older than me. He is brave and fierce. He caught a rabbit and cut its hind leg, watching it struggle to run away.
But his horsemanship is not as good as mine, and his archery is not as good as mine.
He was stronger than me in lifting the stone, but I could always beat him in wrestling.
When I become the chief, he can live in the clan. When he becomes the chief, I can only run to other places. "
Pirunuhan introduced the situation of his family. His eldest brother was disabled, and his second brother was cruel.
He was sensible. He was so young, but he already understood the situation.
"Eat meat and vegetables. One year older doesn't have an absolute advantage in strength.
After dinner, I will teach you some simple fighting skills.
We won't leave in the next few days. Now we are waiting for the main force to arrive. "
Jia Guixing chose to train Pirunuhan. He was not afraid that he would be too smart and not listen to the Tang dynasty in the future.
Dongzhu would teach Pirunuhan some skills. If there were any problems, Dongzhu would be responsible.
He taught the child to show others. At the same time, he would ask people about the child's family in case the child lied.
"I am very good at archery." Pirunuhan was eager to try. He felt that his archery skills were superb.
"Then I will have to ask for advice." Jia Guixing smiled. Archery? We were selected to be trained as Winged Knights because of the archery test.
"Don't laugh. I can shoot left and right." Pirunuhan was not convinced. What was there to laugh about?
"Good!" Jia Guixing gave him a thumbs up.
"I will take it as a compliment!" Pirunuhan said doubtfully.
…
Compared to the northwest, the sun rose earlier in the northeast.
Therefore, while they were having breakfast in the Northwest, the Northeast … was also having breakfast.
The Tang dynasty in the northwest had three meals a day, while the Prince of Bohai County in the northeast had two meals a day.
In summer and autumn, he could still eat two meals to fill his stomach, but in winter, he would not be too hungry.
They were afraid that they wouldn't have any food to eat in spring, and if they didn't have any necessary activities in winter, they would stop whenever possible.
When there was not a large amount of coal and fireplace, the number of people in Chang 'an who died of suffocation or freezing in the winter was not small.
The living conditions of the people in Bohai Sea could not be compared to those in Chang 'an. The winters here were long, so the people could only think of ways to save food.
There were wild animals on the mountain, but they were not easy to catch. The snow was too thick, and most of the wild animals nearby had been caught.
If they went further away and encountered wild boars, it was hard to say who would take care of who.
The local grain industry was poor and the crop yield was low. The methods of retting and fertilizing introduced in the newspaper were a great help to the local people.
Li Endong and the rest had already finished their breakfast, but they were still cooking. They caught some pheasants to make chicken soup, while Lecha's tribe provided them with dried vegetables.
Lecha's tribe decided to follow them. They were the seventh tribe.
The large amount of things they had prepared was not of much use. When the Tang dynasty arrived, they would be given a one-time subsidy.
Da Zuorong did not come today, probably because he was in the palace looking for something. Li Longji, as one of the Tang Emperors, rewarded him with something.
In addition, Li Yi, as a trade partner, also gave him a lot of luxurious goods.
For example, mirrors, diesel oil, perfume, and some items sold in Wen Tian Lan Pavilion.
The other high-ranking officials and leaders of the big clans in Bohai Sea all came to trade.
The ordinary people took out pine nuts, dried blood-red rivet mushrooms, ginseng, deer antler, and mink fur that they had stored at home to trade.
Previously, the big clans in Bohai Sea received these things once, but the people were afraid, so they took out a small portion to trade with the big clans, especially the officials.
The people who received these things earned the difference in price, and the other things were hidden by the people.
The ordinary people mainly wanted to trade for soap and medicine, and kerosene lamps were not something they should use.
There were also some people who were smarter. They knew that the Tang dynasty's team would come to trade again this year, so they prepared silage and hay in advance.
They did not raise livestock themselves, but purely for trade.
For the rest of the bad stuff, they would discuss with the people who had livestock. Next year, they would borrow the livestock for farming and give the rest to the other party's livestock to eat this year.
Li Endong and the others exchanged things with the big clans and officials. The price was fixed, and they did not bargain.
For the ordinary people, they gave a little more.
Fan Fan and the other Winged Knights looked for the locals to trade for hawthorn and made small tools to pick the seeds.
Looking for branches to make sticks, picking seeds, and cutting sticks were all done by the people who were going back with them.
It was their wages, and they would pay them when they returned home.
One by one, the hawthorn skewers without dipping in sugar were made. The Winged Knights boiled sugar and made candied hawthorn skewers that were not big.
A big piece of candied hawthorn skewers consumed too much sugar, so they could only be eaten in the capital office. If they wanted to eat it in Henan, they had to wait until the weather turned cold.
There were big skewers of candied hawthorn skewers, each with more than twenty big hawthorns, trembling.
There were also small skewers, two hawthorns for a skewer.
The big ones were traded with the medium ones, and the small ones were given to the children.
Many children had never eaten rock candy since they were young.
Children over five or six years old licked the candied hawthorn skewers, and this moment was fixed in their memory.
In their memory, there was a Li Family Zhuangzi, Li Dongzhu, and a relatively specific Tang dynasty.
The people of Delecha, Brailo, Ah Jin, and other tribes were also busy.
They wanted to sell the things they did not need on the road, and the price was cheap. Originally, five big bowls of rice could be exchanged for rabbit skin, but now, two bowls were enough.
There were many people and goods on the return journey. The people needed to eat, and the horses had to be fed.
The grass that the horses ate now was good enough. When they returned, they would only bring some green hay and then eat food.
Including the dried meat that they had started to make now, they steamed it in a pot with a little salt. There was no visible fat on the surface, and it was all muscle fiber.
They were cut into small cubes and frozen outside for the horses to eat. The horses ate meat, but they could not eat too much.
If the horses saw the newly hatched chicks when no one was watching, they would eat them directly.
When the horses were eating grass, they would also eat grasshoppers and insects without any hesitation.
If you rode a horse that was not willing to let you ride it, you could beat ten raw eggs and put them on the grass in the trough. After the horse ate the eggs, it would take the initiative to look for you the next day when it saw you.
Yesterday, it was not happy, but today, it rubbed its big head against you. Hurry up, it's not convenient for you to walk, right? I'll lie down, hurry up, I'll take you for a lap.
Of course, the horses of the Li Family Zhuangzi could not be fed by ordinary people. Horses had their own pride. How many eggs do I lack? Do you know what I usually eat?
