Chapter 252 Wada

The news about this batch of supplies quickly spread to Kyoto. When the leaders learned about it, they immediately issued a reply, requiring that these supplies must be sent to the depths of Lop Nur.

At the same time, the local troops were asked to give up investigating the source of the supplies, and they just asked the checkpoints near Lop Nur to be stricter in future inspections.

"Boss, it seems that we still have many patriots who make silent sacrifices in Daxia." The secretary on the side said with a smile.

"Yes! We were able to regain Daxia back then precisely because of countless such selfless and dedicated patriots." The big leader said with emotion.

Li Wen was on his way to Hotan at this time. He didn't know that what he had done had been reported to Tianting.

The reason why Li Wen only released 500,000 kilograms of grain last night was for some reason. After all, 250 tons of grain is not a lot, and normal transportation can be done without causing panic above.

Li Wen's small world can produce millions of tons of grain and billions of kilograms of grain in one crop. He wants to help the motherland, and it's no problem at all.

But if Li Wen released these grains, it would not be a help to the motherland, but a fright.

Such a large amount of food requires countless vehicles to transport, and it is in such a sensitive place. The country will definitely panic and even conduct a nationwide investigation. This will consume huge manpower and material resources, and the gain will not be worth the loss.

After Li Wen fulfilled his wish in Lop Nur, his trip to the new province can be said to be basically complete.

After arriving in the Hotan area, Li Wen didn't make any further stops and went straight to the Yulong River Valley.

Li Wen is planning to come to the Yulong River to collect some Hetian jade. This is the last mission of the trip.

Li Wen collected Hetian jade not only for collection, but more importantly, to cultivate the time and land of the small world.

The time land of the small world also inherits the properties of the warehouse space, but it no longer grows time, but maintains energy balance.

All things have their own energy conservation. Although time and land are contrary to nature, if they do not receive sufficient nutrition, they will also degrade until they become different lands.

Jade is a collection of ancient energy, which can be absorbed into the small world to supplement time and land.

In fact, Hotan jade was not called Hotan jade at all in ancient times. The ancients called it Kunshan jade. It was not until the establishment of Hotan Zhili in the late Qing Dynasty that it was changed to Hotan jade.

Moreover, Hetian jade is not only found in Xinjiang Province. In Daxia, jade with a certain light transmission range is collectively called Hetian jade.

Many foreign jades have also been classified into the Hotan jade series by Daxia. Of course, the Hotan jade from Xinzhou has the best quality.

Li Wen had already put the carriage out in a place far away from human settlements, and piled some items on it to prepare for transactions at any time.

Hotan area is not small, it is larger than Qin Province, covering 240,000 square kilometers. It took Li Wen three or four days to reach the vicinity of Yulong Valley.

It was already mid-July, and there were melon and fruit stalls everywhere on the roadsides of some ethnic minority tribes in Hotan. Li Wen also indulged his appetite along the way and purchased many varieties that were not available in the small world.

There were a lot of fruits along the way, but Li Wen never came across anything he was interested in. Today he finally found something good in Giya Township.

"Hello comrade, how can I sell this carpet and silk scarf?" Li Wen picked up a beautiful carpet and asked with a smile.

"Hello Xia people, my name is Harry Maimaiti, these are high-quality carpets and Itiles silk." The Uyghur stall owner obviously often trades with the Xia people and speaks fluent Daxia dialect.

There were not many carpets in front of the stall owner, only three, tens of centimeters in size, but these carpets were very exquisite. The patterns on them were the Central Asian patterns that Li Wen watched on short videos in his previous life.

Various round and square patterns on the stalls, as well as brightly colored silk scarves and colorful clothing, gave Li Wen an exotic feeling.

"Hello Comrade Harry, what are the prices of these things? How can I exchange them for grains and tea leaves?" Li Wen asked the stall owner with a smile.

There are too many people named Maimaiti in Xinjiang, but it is the person's name that Maimaiti meets in advance, and Li Wen often gets it wrong.

"A carpet costs 64 yuan, silk scarves cost 8 yuan, and clothes cost 32 yuan. If you have national food stamps or cloth stamps, we can discuss these." The shrewd Harry quoted the price with a smile.

People who don't know may be shocked when they hear this price. The price is really too high. A carpet is actually worth a month's salary of a sixth-level worker.

But Li Wen knew that the price was indeed not expensive. These carpets were all hand-woven from wool, and the colors were extracted from precious ores.

Silk scarves and clothing are also made of silk, and the raw materials are not ordinary fabrics and cotton.

As for pure wool carpets and silk clothes, even in future generations, ordinary people will not be able to afford them.

Li Wen picked up these carpets and looked at them from left to right. These carpets were all handmade. They were so beautiful that they could not be described as works of art.

But the only thing Li Wen regretted was that these carpets were too small, only as big as floor mats.

"Harry, these carpets are so beautiful, I want them all. But these are too small. Are there any larger carpets that can be laid in the room?" Li Wen touched the soft carpet and asked with a smile.

"Xia people, you have such a good sense! You know good things. Many people were scared away when they heard my quotation, thinking that I quoted randomly.

You may not know how hard it is to make a carpet.

A carpet less than one meter takes one person more than a month to complete. Counting raw materials and labor, you can't make much money at all."

"I also have a three-meter-long carpet at home, which was newly woven this year. Do you want it? But I have to tell you in advance that the price of that carpet is very expensive."

When Harry saw that Li Wen was not scared away by the price he offered, but instead asked for a bigger one, he immediately cheered up.

"No problem, as long as I like it, the price is not a problem." Li Wen took out a stack of food stamps and said with a smile.

"It seems that Allah has brought me a distinguished guest today." Harry's eyes lit up when he saw Li Wen's food stamps, and he quickly cleaned up the stall.

Li Wen didn't let Harry pack it up, so he spent 200 yuan and 30 kilograms of national food stamps to wrap up all Harry's things.

In less than ten minutes, Li Wen followed Harry to a village inhabited by ethnic minorities.

After entering the village, Li Wen learned from Harry that most of the Uighurs in their area no longer graze, but instead settle down to grow crops, raise silkworms, and weave Itiles silk.

This village is not small. Li Wen probably counted hundreds of households along the way.

Most of the houses are mud houses, typical of Central Asian style, boxy and flat-roofed, and look very shabby.

"Friends of the Xia tribe, welcome to my home." As soon as they arrived at Harry's house, Harry's wife came out carrying a basin and a pot of water.

In nearly a month, Li Wen had thoroughly understood the customs and etiquette of these ethnic minorities.
