The cannon fodder through the book will live to the end

Tao Anran resolutely replied: "Yes, of course. Since these wools are not worth much, we need to stock up more. It will be of great use to me. But you said that you are pregnant, did we meet today?"

Qian Mancang replied in surprise: "Princess, that shearer is the pregnant brother. Probably Turkic people are tall and big, and the sign of brother is not obvious, so you didn't notice it! And That stall owner is his son."

Tao Anran was startled, that man with a big belly turned out to be a pregnant brother.He thought it was just getting fat in middle age.He was a little dazed, in his eyes it was clearly a man.It should be said that in his eyes, there is no difference between a brother and a man.

Tao Anran forgot that his body is also a brother.But the body has always been the same as before.So he forgot that his brother would be pregnant.

Now he can't help worrying, he won't be pregnant.He and Xiao Jingyu had messed around in bed so many times.But in his heart, he has always been a man, and he really can't accept being pregnant!But he wears books, so he may not have this function.

Xiao Jingyu looked at Wang Hao's face, and asked worriedly: "What's the matter, what's wrong?"

Tao Anran looked at him, not knowing what to say.In this world, it is only natural for brothers to have children.He probably wants to have a baby too.

After hesitating for a moment, Tao Anran still said, "It's fine."

Xiao Jingyu frowned slightly, but there were other people here, so he didn't ask any more questions, just said: "Do you want to rest here tonight, or hurry back?"

Tao Anran heard the words and asked: "Is it too late to go back now?"

"It's too late." Xiao Jingyu replied affirmatively.

Tao Anran quickly said: "Then hurry back. This place is so close to the market, it would be bad if someone finds out."

Xiao Jingyu nodded and said, "Then we will rush back. You will be responsible for purchasing the next wool, and then find a separate warehouse to store it."

The latter sentence was obviously addressed to Qian Mancang, and Qian Mancang responded quickly.

Tao Anran and Xiao Jingyu sat in the carriage when they came in, and by the way, they brought the wool that had been harvested earlier.The wool had to be taken home first to try and clean the yarn.

There were only two people in the carriage, Xiao Jingyu saw the concubine's pensive look, and asked, "Of course, what are you thinking? Ever since Qian Mancang said about that pregnant brother, something is wrong with you."

Tao Anran sighed at his keenness, thought for a while and asked tentatively: "My lord, do you want a child?"

Xiao Jingyu's complexion changed, and he asked, "Why did you suddenly ask this question? Could it be that you have it? No, Qu Zhishui just took your pulse not long ago. If he had it, he would tell."

Tao Anran looked at his changing expression, and summoned up her courage to say, "My lord, what if, what if I can't have a baby?"

Xiao Jingyu's complexion changed again, he patted Wang Hao's head, and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Qu Zhishui said that you are in good health. Don't think about these things."

After he finished speaking, he seemed to think of something, and continued: "But you like children, do you want a child? Don't worry, the child will come when it's time. If, if there is no child, then probably I killed too much, and blocked the way of the child."

Tao Anran froze for a moment, as if she understood something.He hugged Xiao Jingyu gently, and said, "My lord, I don't want a child. I just want to have a good time with you two."

Xiao Jingyu's eyes were deep, he patted the princess on the back, and said with a smile, "Okay!"

The two warmed up for a while, but the atmosphere was inexplicably sad.As if to break the atmosphere, Xiao Jingyu asked, "Of course, what are you going to do with this wool?"

Tao Anran immediately explained: "Your Majesty, I'm going to take this wool back to wash and arrange the yarn. After making a ball of wool, it can be knitted into a garment. Moreover, wool is much warmer than silk floss. I will make woolen sweaters for you when the time comes." Pants, you won’t be afraid of the cold in winter.”

Although he didn't understand, Xiao Jingyu still agreed: "So that's the case. Then I thank Ranran in advance."

Tao Anran replied: "You're welcome, it's not gone yet. You have to clean the dirt and grease off the wool when you go back."

When it comes to wool, you have to talk about Turks.

Tao Anran asked: "My lord, when will this battle be fought every year? I think those Turkic people are no different from us, they also have families. Do they really want to invade the border and fight?"

Xiao Jingyu sighed and said: "Of course, although Turkic people grew up on horseback, there are also those who don't want to fight, but only want to herd herds. In fact, most of the Turkic people I saw at the market today are peaceful. Attitude. But there are too few of these people, and they have no choice but to take up arms under the general trend.

Unless one day, someone can lead troops to maim them and drive them back hundreds of miles to the border.At that time, it may take a few years to rest. "

Tao Anran stared at him, Xiao Jingyu smiled and said, "So trust me, do you think I can beat them?"

Tao Anran immediately said affirmatively: "You can definitely do it, you are the best!"

Xiao Jingyu laughed happily, and then said: "Of course, it's not so easy to disable them."

First of all, the Turks raise war horses and are good at fighting on horseback. They understand the terrain of the grassland and are highly mobile. It is not easy to defeat them.Second, even if the occasional victory was won, the grassland land that was won was not easy to manage.The grassland is vast, and it is not worth the loss to send troops to station.Furthermore, if the enemy is really going to be crippled, is there still a need for his Suppressing North Army?

So all along, the two sides have been in a situation where they can't help each other.The confrontation between the two armies is more like training with flesh and blood.

But there is no need to elaborate on this with the princess.

Tao Anran saw Xiao Jingyu say that all the time, and knew that ending the war was indeed too difficult.However, he thought of an idea in a whimsical way.

He said directly: "My lord, I have an idea. You said that if I keep buying wool, let them sell a large amount of wool to support their families. Will they still fight desperately to obtain what they need?"

When Xiao Jingyu heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course what do you mean?"

Tao Anran replied: "I mean let these Turkic people raise sheep instead of war horses. After we let them get the sweetness of wool, in order to get more wool, they will inevitably raise more sheep, so naturally They don’t have the energy to raise horses anymore. After a few years, will they all raise sheep? If we don’t collect wool at this time, will they mess up?”

Xiao Jingyu's eyes lit up, and he began to think seriously.This method seems simple.But think about it, if successful.The Turkic people at that time did not touch weapons for several years, so they should be much weaker than they are now.

And even if the wool has been harvested and the Turkic people raise sheep on a large scale, it is not impossible.In that way, the Turkic people can be regarded as surrender in disguise, and become farmers who provide them with wool.

However, this method also has disadvantages, that is, if the Turkic people take a fancy to the sweetness of wool, they know how to continue to strengthen themselves with this sweetness.That would really be worth the candle.Unless they realize that raising sheep is the way out.

The more Xiao Jingyu thought about it, the more he felt that this method was quite feasible.He looked at Wang Hao and said with a smile, "Of course, why did you suddenly think of this method?"

Tao Anran scratched her head and said, "I seem to have read it from some book, but I don't remember. What do you think of this method?"

Xiao Jingyu replied: "This method sounds good. It's just that the specific implementation needs to be considered carefully. Moreover, the Turkic tribes are divided into tribes. Some tribes mainly raise war horses, and they may not raise too many sheep."

Tao Anran said seriously: "Then can we send someone to carry out some scheming to make their tribe mess up first. We can take advantage of it."

Xiao Jingyu looked at the princess with lowered eyebrows, and said with a smile, "Of course you are smart. It's just that those tribes are very exclusive, and it will take some time to send people to join in."

Seeing his reaction, Tao Anran asked softly, "Have you already sent someone in?"

Xiao Jingyu just smiled and said nothing.Tao Anran stopped asking.

The carriage drove all the way, and before they knew it, they returned to the palace.In the days after returning to the mansion, apart from eating and resting, the two of them were busy with their own affairs.

Xiao Jingyu returned to the study, busy with government affairs and arranging some military affairs.Tao Anran's main task was to deal with the bale of wool.

The freshly sheared wool is mixed with mutton-smelling oil, which smells bad.And the fur is messy, with a pile of debris such as stones and grass clippings stuck to it.

From a bundle of wool, Tao Anran first selected two catties of wool as an experiment.

The first step is to wash the wool. Everything is difficult at the beginning, and this step is relatively the most difficult to deal with.Grease and debris on the wool must be cleaned.

First soak in warm water for a quarter of an hour, and pour vinegar into it to soften some grease and remove dust and dirt.Then it is repeatedly soaked in warm water and washed.The wool didn't reveal its original color until it was washed five or six times.

After the wool is washed, it is spread out to dry.Drying the wool was quick, despite the unwelcome hot sun.And the dry wool is white and loose.

Then there's the needle comb.Comb the wool into strips and clean the wool again.The wool is stretched and thinned, and several strands are twisted to become tighter and stronger.

Finally, it becomes wool, which can be rolled up for storage.

Although the process seems simple, Tao Anran can only provide a general direction and know what the final result will be like.The rest are woolen threads made by experienced embroiderers in the mansion following the same idea of ​​weaving.It took several days to make such a bundle of wool.

All he can do is give more rewards.Especially after the woolen yarn is made, how to crochet, how to crochet different patterns, how to crochet a suit of clothes, all these will continue to trouble the embroiderers in the house.

Tao Anran provided only two knitting needles and the most basic crochet techniques.He is like a paper writer who can only provide ideas for solving problems, but let them write the answers.And the answer is not fixed, the more different the answer, the better.

The author has something to say:
