Playing intrigue is worse than engaging in infrastructure

After gaining the same admiration again, Song Qingyuan's plan was finally implemented.

Within half a month, the regulations that women who reconciled with their husbands or divorced or lost their husbands can set up separate households were posted on the bulletin boards in the city.

……

After the weather gradually cooled down, many places in the Southern Zhou Dynasty also learned the technique of heating kang from Mobei.

But it may be because the method has been passed on several times before it reached the Southern Zhou Dynasty. The heated kang they made was always much worse, and it was not as warm as the heated kang in Mobei.

At this time, the advantages of wool are clearly displayed.The wool cushions they bought a few days ago are not only beautiful in style, but the thick wool is also very effective in keeping warm.

The original mat was still a bit cold, but after being covered with woolen cushions, the knees and legs became much warmer immediately.

When people discovered this, the sales of cushions rose sharply in the Southern Zhou Dynasty.

In the current Southern Zhou Dynasty, people with a little more wealth basically used wool cushions.They even have to compare which one has the latest design and the most beautiful color of cushions.

Under this kind of atmosphere, if anyone still uses the original mat, it will be quite embarrassing when entertaining guests.

As a result of the popularity of wool cushions, Dewey took little effort to promote wool fabrics in the market.

Cloth made of wool is much more expensive than ordinary materials.But people all know that during this period of time, woolen cushions became popular among aristocratic families, so those who had a little spare money bought a few horses to make clothes.

Wool cushions are somewhat expensive and unaffordable for them.But cloth made of wool, they can still afford it.

After an autumn rain, the weather is a bit cooler.

It wasn't until this time that people who bought the fabrics discovered that the warming effect of woolen clothes was several times better than that of ordinary clothes.

Normally, in such weather, they at least need to wear a jacket and a single shirt.But clothes made of wool, as long as a thin piece, the whole person will be warm.

Calculated in this way, the cloth made of wool is even a little cheaper than ordinary cloth.

In the beginning, they were not used to the feel of the wool material, and they bought it back because of the name of the wool cushion.

But now I know the benefits of wool material.In the market, there are long queues in front of all the cloth shops with woolen materials for sale.

Even the aristocratic families who were proud of wearing silk and satin began to send their own servants to buy woolen cloth.

Among other things, the outstanding warmth retention effect of the wool material is enough to make them tempted.

Who used to wear layers of clothing to keep warm, but now that they can be protected from the cold by wearing a woolen garment under a tunic, who wants to be bloated like they used to be?

Wool cloth is an extremely large business. When Du Wei chose to cooperate with others, he did not put all the business on the Guo family, but found several suitable families to share.

It is precisely because of this that woolen materials were sold to all parts of the Southern Zhou Dynasty in just a few months.

Seeing that these people are earning a lot of money by cooperating with Mobei, the others can't sit still, and they all discuss to go to Mobei as a team and get a share of the profit.

Rao, in the eyes of the people of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, the commercial road to Mobei was extremely dangerous, and if they were not careful, they would be buried in the depths of the grassland.

But for the sake of huge profits, there are still many people who are willing to take the risk to take such a trip.In the end, a caravan of hundreds of people was gathered.

After a period of preparation, these people embarked on the journey.

They chose the smoothest road, which was the one Song Qingyuan took when he arrived in Mobei.

There are two places that this road must pass through, one is Tongzhou City, and the other is Muhe Tribe.

And Tongzhou is the place where Zhou Wendao was relegated.

The leader of this group of merchants is the son of the Zhao family in Huijing.The Zhao family had a close personal relationship with Zhou Wendao, and knowing that the caravan was going to pass through Tongzhou, they asked the juniors in the family to visit their old friends on his behalf.

The second day after the caravan arrived in Tongzhou coincided with Zhou Wendao's rest, Zhao Jiaerlang chose this day to visit.

Tongzhou is warmer than Huijing.Early in the morning, Zhou Wendao put on cashmere trousers under his outer robe.

Although it is not as prosperous as Huijing, it is better than the pleasant scenery.

Without many troubles in the court, and being demoted to Tongzhou for more than a month, Zhou Wendao seemed more energetic.

The juniors of the Zhao family had lunch in the Zhou Mansion, and after chatting with Zhou Wendao about the news about Huijing, they left the gifts prepared by the elders and left.

Seeing that the weather was getting colder and colder, they couldn't afford to delay any time.

It was Zhou Wendao's eldest son Zhou Shiting who went out to see off the guests.Back at the mansion, he chatted with his father about the news brought by Zhao Jiaerlang.

"Wool clothes are in high demand in the Southern Zhou Dynasty now." Zhou Shiting said casually.

Even the sweater Zhou Wendao was wearing was bought by Zhou Shiting through a lot of talents.

"It's no wonder the people love it. Even I can't bear to take off such warm clothes." Zhou Wendao touched the hem of his clothes and sighed.

"Yeah, I don't know how Mobei people made such fabrics." Zhou Shiting shook his head.

Zhou Wendao glanced at his son who was sighing with emotion, and said with a half-sigh: "With the weaving level of Mobei people, it is absolutely impossible to make such exquisite fabrics. I am afraid that only Song Qingyuan, the third prince of Yanyun, who went to Mobei last year have the ability to do it.”

Zhou Shiting's eyes widened, and after confirming that his father was not joking with him, he said in surprise: "Father, do you also think that the third prince Yanyun did it alone?"

There was indeed such news in the Hui capital before, but many people felt that Song Qingyuan would not be able to create so many things by himself.

How can someone be so omnipotent that he can make anything?

They guessed that many craftsmen invented those techniques, and they were named Song Qingyuan.

But his father said that Song Qingyuan did it alone, which surprised Zhou Shiting a little.

"Whether it's true or not, we'll find out when Zhao Jiaerlang returns with the caravan." Zhou Wendao had a complicated expression on his face, "The third prince Yanyun is a great loss to my Southern Zhou!"

Zhou Shiting curled his lips, but couldn't hold back, and argued: "Even if the third prince Yanyun didn't go to Mobei, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to play a big role in my Southern Zhou Dynasty. Your Majesty is now obsessed with cultivating immortals, let him have unworldly talents, and let him have a great talent." What's the use?"

Doesn't his father, Zhou Wendao, have no talent?In the end, he was not demoted to this barren land.

Zhou Wendao didn't care about the disrespect in his son's words, but looked out of the courtyard silently, not knowing what he was thinking.

No matter how hot the blood is, it will inevitably cool down after several disappointments.

"Although the third prince Yanyun is planning for Mobei, the people of the Southern Zhou Dynasty are not benefited at all. Since the sale of woolen cloth, the price of the rest of the cloth has dropped, and ordinary people can afford to buy it for the winter." clothes." Seeing that his father was not in a good mood, Zhou Shiting comforted him.

What Zhou Wendao cared about the most in his life was the people of Liming. The few times he disobeyed Emperor Hongde's will were all related to the livelihood of the people.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Zhou Wendao was no longer as silent as before, and nodded along with Zhou Shiting's words.

In this era, almost all women can spin and weave.Because the degree of commercialization is not high, the cloth woven in ordinary people's homes is not sold, but kept for their own use.

Therefore, the emergence of large quantities of woolen cloth will not have any impact on the livelihood of ordinary people.On the contrary, the common people will benefit from the drop in the price of other cloth.

The only ones affected were those merchants who made cloth.

But in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, those who could afford to hire a large number of people to produce commercial cloth were almost all the famous and famous families.It was these people's wool that Song Qingyuan plucked.

As for whether those people secretly cursed him, he didn't know.

……

As soon as the caravan headed for Mobei arrived at the Muhe tribe, they were stunned by the sight in front of them.

Since the beef processing factory opened by Song Qingyuan started, the cattle and sheep of countless tribes have been transported here.After processing, it is sold to the Southern Zhou Dynasty.

Muhe Tribe gradually became a transit point for businessmen, and became more and more prosperous.

This summer, in order to facilitate trade, Amur also moved the tribe to a wider area to settle down.

Nowadays, there are many families in the tribe who have become rich because of opening guest houses.

After eating a meal of Mobei's special copper pot mutton, the merchants of the Southern Zhou Dynasty who had driven for half a month were completely convinced.

Mobei is not as barbaric and fierce as in the legend, it is obviously more prosperous and lively than many places in their Southern Zhou Dynasty!

Everyone in the caravan sighed.

After hearing that they were going to the royal court to do business, the shopkeeper of the inn also warmed up to them and gave them a jar of homemade sorghum wine.

"It is rumored that Mobei's wool cloth, raisins and many other things were invented by the third prince Yanyun. Is this true?"

After drinking and eating, some people in the caravan curiously asked the shopkeeper for news.

"Of course it's true!"

While tidying up the table quickly, the shopkeeper turned his head and pointed to the copper hot pot on the table, and said, "Even the way you eat mutton boiled in a copper pot is invented by His Highness!"

The crowd suddenly became quiet.

They all felt the wonderful taste of the copper hot pot just now.That being the case, the news about Song Qingyuan in Huijing City is probably true.

Looking at each other, everyone saw surprise in each other's eyes.Someone tentatively asked: "Shopkeeper, have you heard the news about the unknown fate of the third prince Yanyun?"

"What are you talking about!" Hearing someone smearing Song Qingyuan, the shopkeeper immediately became anxious.

It is entirely thanks to Song Qingyuan's blessing that they can have their current life. These merchants from the Southern Zhou Dynasty actually said that His Highness is an ominous person!

Seeing that the shopkeeper was about to lose his temper, someone from the crowd quickly stood up and interceded, "Don't misunderstand, shopkeeper. We also heard such news by accident. We don't know whether it is true or not, so we wanted to ask the shopkeeper. We didn't mean to offend."

Hearing this, the shopkeeper lost his temper.

He said bluntly: "In short, our Muhe Tribe does not welcome guests who do not respect His Highness."

Everyone said a few more good words, and the boss forgave them.

He took the collected dishes to the kitchen, and muttered involuntarily: "What an ominous person, Your Highness is obviously the incarnation of a god on the snow mountain."

A few people with sensitive ears in the caravan heard the muttering and quickly whispered to their companions.

Everyone was shocked, this is not in line with the rumors!

Song Qingyuan is a star king from the sky who came down to earth, and his majesty lost his virtue, so he turned into a disaster star.And Mobei King has the appearance of a wise king, so he will come to assist him.And just now the shopkeeper also said that Song Qingyuan is the incarnation of a god.

In this way, everyone came to the royal court full of surprise and suspicion.

It is expected that they have always regarded themselves as the rich and prosperous people of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, and feel that Mobei is simply crude and backward compared with them, and they still look down on each other in their hearts.

But along the way, the sights knocked out all the complacency they'd always had.

What is that towering building at the mouth of the river, the waterwheel beside the field looks so advanced, even the city wall looks so flat and solid... everything is a scene they have never seen before.

There is no shortage of children of birth families in the caravan.But now, like savages who entered the city for the first time, they were surprised by everything that appeared in front of their eyes.

Is this really Mobei?One of them looked at the scene in front of him and fell into deep thought.

Only then did everyone understand the meaning of the words of the shopkeeper they met in Muhe Tribe.

Isn't such a scene that only gods can create?

Faint Lord × God;

Tsk, it sounds quite touching.
