Chapter 185 Skiing
"Thank you father, my son wants to go to Yizhou again, please allow father!" Niu Xiu pleaded.

"Go to Yizhou again!" Niu Jinda frowned!
"Yes, the boy agreed to go and fight side by side." Niu Xiu said affirmatively.

"This..." Niu Jinda couldn't help being embarrassed when he heard it.

"Most of the captives captured this time are Turks, right?" Niu Jinda confirmed.

Although Niu Xiu didn't understand what he meant, he nodded and replied: "Yes, father."

"It's okay to go, you have to agree to one condition for your father." Niu Jinda thought for a while and said.

"Please tell me, the baby will definitely agree." Niu Xiu promised with a happy smile.

"That is, after the beginning of spring, we must come back." Niu Jinda stated the conditions seriously!
"Father, are you worried that the Turks will take revenge on Yizhou after spring?" Niu Xiu was always a smart man. After thinking about it for a moment, he understood what his father meant.

"That's right, I'm worried about this as a father, but I don't want my son to be dishonest, so I don't want to force you to stay." Niu Jinda didn't deny it, nodded and said.

"Thank you for your concern, father. My child will just obey your orders." Niu Xiu was moved and gave a gesture with cupped fists.

Chang'an!Palace of Lizheng!

The first snow in early winter shrouded Chang'an City in white. The flowers in the palace were in full bloom in the past, and the cold wind was blowing outside the Lizheng Hall, but the inside of the hall was indeed full of spring.

"The fire bed made by Situ Changfeng with coal is really good." Li Shimin took the towel from the maid's hand, wiped his forehead and sighed slightly.

"It's really good. I don't feel the cold in the palace this year. In the future, it will be very difficult for people to freeze to death. This Situ Changfeng can be said to have countless living people." The eldest grandson praised Sizi, who was wearing thin and playful clothes, at the side. .

"Master is the most powerful!" Si Zi on the side heard someone mentioning Situ Changfeng and said in a coquettish voice.

"Hmph! This stinky boy, he's here. Everyone is talking to him. It's still too early to prevent anyone from freezing to death. It's not easy to make this coal, and it needs to be transported from a distance." Li Shimin said in a dissatisfied tone. said.

"Of course this is inseparable from Your Majesty's promotion and arrangement. I don't know how this Situ Changfeng has offended His Majesty." The eldest grandson asked with a half-smile.

"Today I received a memorial from Yizhou and Longyou Dao. Yizhou defeated [-] Turks in the first battle, and harvested countless horses, cattle and sheep. This brat actually just sent a good news, or Niu Jinda sent a detailed story.

Avalokitesvara, you said, such a rare victory in recent years, he actually downplayed it, didn't he know that he sent a letter with great fanfare, so as to cheer up people's hearts. "Li Shimin babbled dissatisfiedly.

"Hehe, Your Majesty may have misunderstood him. You see, Situ Changfeng's memorial said he just defeated the horse bandits. How can this be done with great fanfare?" The eldest grandson took the memorial handed over by Li Shimin, quickly browsed it and said with a smile .

"Horse bandit, I will believe this? Who has seen the horse bandit with so many people, and so many war horses, cattle and sheep, it is clearly a large Turkic tribe." Li Shimin became even more angry now, knowing that they are Turkic people Pretending to be, but Situ Changfeng said seriously, this is the horse bandit.

"This also shows that Situ Changfeng doesn't want to pretend to be credited. His Majesty should be happy with such a loyal subject." The eldest grandson persuaded.

"Because of this, I didn't blame him, but this stinky boy was so poor that he left behind a large number of cattle, sheep and horses. If I hadn't suppressed him, the censor would not have impeached him." Li Shimin said proudly.

"Izhou is poor and supplies are not abundant. Situ Changfeng left the supplies for the border." The eldest grandson guessed.

"Poverty? Avalokitesvara, do you know that the cashmere clothes uploaded by Sizi are sold in Luoyang, Chang'an, and the value is three times the equivalent weight of gold, and the down jacket given to you is also worth gold. You actually said that Yizhou is poor " Li Shimin almost jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on and said loudly.

"What? So expensive!" The eldest grandson was also taken aback.

"That's right. The person here explained that it takes hundreds of sheep to make one piece of this kind of top-grade cashmere clothes, and this down jacket also needs hundreds of ducks and geese to make one piece of clothing." Li Shimin explained with Situ Changfeng's words.

"This... This is really a big gap. Ordinary woolen clothes are only twenty or thirty yuan, and you can buy them for ten yuan less. The cashmere clothes are so expensive. This Situ Changfeng didn't expect to be able to make a fortune. " Changsun sighed.

"Not bad, but this cashmere is really good. The production method has already been delivered. If there are more in the future, the price may not be so expensive." Li Shimin took it for granted and analyzed.

"I'm afraid His Majesty guessed wrong this time. The price of this cashmere will only be higher. It is impossible to get cheaper." The eldest grandson said after thinking for a while.

"That's right, the annual production of this cashmere is limited, but there are a lot of rich people. It seems that it is really for the rich and the rich." Li Shimin said, patting his forehead.

"This has nothing to do with the people, but it is a good thing, so your Majesty does not need to care about it." The eldest grandson persuaded.

"Well, Queen, you are right. This time, Situ Changfeng asked to increase the garrison in Yizhou, and I agreed."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"It's not that I'm wise, but that after the spring of next year, there will be a battle in Yizhou. With the current strength of Yizhou, I'm afraid it won't be able to defend." Li Shimin explained with a smile.

"Your Majesty, you can't let something happen to Situ Changfeng. Next year, Sizi will ask him to guide you in practicing the Heavenly Silkworm Heart Sutra." The eldest grandson said worriedly.

"It's okay, I'll let Niu Jinda pay close attention. After the beginning of spring, there's still time to deploy troops." Li Shimin said calmly.

"The concubine is so relieved!" Zhang Sunsong heaved a sigh of relief, and turned his head to look at his daughter dotingly.

…………

This winter in Yizhou City is full of joy and laughter. The people are grateful to the government like never before, because they not only live in warm houses, but also get woolen clothes, and they don’t feel much cold when they go out in heavy snow.

The soldiers guarding Yizhou did not feel the bitter cold at the border. The camp was full of green brick houses, sleeping on hot beds and wearing warm clothes.

Since there was not enough green material for the captured yaks, Situ Changfeng ordered all adult yaks to be slaughtered. The meat was made into dried meat, and the hiders used it to make leather armor and shields.

Therefore, the soldiers in Yizhou are blessed, and they can see the smell of meat every day, and the same is true for the workers in the workshop.

"Heck! It's so fun!" Gongsun Feiyan stopped with a smile and walked over on two wooden planks.

Not far away, groups of soldiers roared past through the snow, and occasionally there were strange screams from Du He and others.

This was a solution that Situ Changfeng suddenly came up with when he saw the heavy snow, and immediately organized the soldiers to start training.
