Chapter 1334 What to do in the bitter cold place
There was a heavy snowfall in Tubo and the temperature dropped sharply.
The ground is covered with snow, and sheep will use their hooves to plow the ground when grazing. Plowing will scratch their hooves.
If there is not enough hay prepared in the summer, it will surely die.
The former Tubo tribesmen who became common people in the Tang Dynasty had a better life. Soldiers from the Tang Dynasty helped collect grass for a period of time.
In addition to the highland barley they planted themselves, the highland barley harvested by the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty was snatched away.
The livestock they raised were protected from the wind by city walls. The livestock stayed in the pen and lived a very nourishing life.
People from the Tubo tribe further away would occasionally ride over to exchange things with the Tang Dynasty, but the two sides did not fight.
Seeing that the surrendered tribe's animals had not been frozen to death in the winter, and even gained weight, they were naturally tempted.
When the snow fell, some tribal leaders discussed with others and everyone agreed to become common people of the Tang Dynasty.
Due to the relatively long distance, it is not easy to move. I am worried that if I start moving in the morning, I will not be able to arrive in the evening.
Their leader then came over to find Guo Zhiyun and others and said that he was willing to change his identity. Can you help us move?
Guo Zhiyun consulted with Qin Li, Zhang Xiaosong, Hao Lingquan, Wang Junkui, Zhang Zhongliang and others, and everyone unanimously agreed.
If you send someone to help move, you will definitely not be able to get through it in one day. If you ride three horses, you will start before dawn and arrive after dark. Sheep cannot run that fast.
Adding tents, fences, and other household items requires spending a night in the wild.
While sending people, he wrote a letter to the court, telling the court that many more people were coming and the logistics were under great pressure.
When the letter reached Chang'an Political Affairs Hall, six tribes had already moved.
They voluntarily surrendered their weapons and applied for them when needed. It was impossible for the whole clan to go hunting, so only some of them were given.
"Tanghulu." The new tribe's children entered the city and looked at everything in the city curiously.
I saw a lot of snacks and I was greedy.
His mother took out the cheese and exchanged it for him for a bunch.
The little boy ate it himself and never thought of giving it to his mother. Due to the influence of traditional education, women and the elderly have no status.
The child's mother was used to it. She was also looking at everything in the city. She had only heard it from people who came to exchange things before.
The first feeling is that it is warm, there are tall city walls to block the wind, and there are houses in the city.
Coal is burned in the house, and the overall temperature is higher than outside the city.

In addition, the city is clean, there is no snow on the streets, and there is no livestock excrement.
She took her son with her and found a random house. She asked at the door and someone responded, so she picked up the curtain and went in.
It's also a custom, you can go to other people's homes at will.
This family was one of the first tribes to live in the house for free and worked in exchange for some reward, which they used to buy coal.
When mother and son entered the house, they were greeted by a wave of heat and warmth.
When the head of the household saw the child, he got up to get something and brought over a bamboo can.
Open the canned peaches and pour them onto a plate.
The child's mother quickly thanked her. Not to mention it was winter, you couldn't eat peaches in Tubo in summer.
She knew Taozi, and there were embroideries from the Tang Dynasty with peaches on them.
There are also preserved peaches from Tang Dynasty, which I have never eaten.
The little boy was timid and did not dare to eat. He understood the value of winter fruits.
"Eat it, eat it all, you will have it when you work in the future. The strength of our Tang Dynasty can be seen from the canned fruit."
The master said "We Datang" and he fell in love with his new identity.
There is nothing wrong with relying on someone who is strong!
As the master said, he divided out two small portions and placed them in front of the mother and son. Then they ate them with the knives they brought with them.
There is sugar in cans, and sugar makes people feel happy, except those with diabetes.
In an instant, the mother and son recognized the new nationality. The Tang Dynasty did not regard Tubo as a country.
People from other tribes who came later were also strolling around to experience the benefits of the city for themselves.
If they are still in a hostile position, they will definitely want to fight it down and grab it for themselves.
It's a pity that I can't beat him, look at their logistics.
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were well fed and had canned fruits and vegetables. They even planted greenhouses in the city, but the vegetables were still too small to be eaten.
After a few days, you will be able to eat fresh vegetables one after another.
This is the power of money. The Tang Dynasty is so rich. If you become a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, your life will be the same as that of the tribesmen who came first.
"Logistical pressure has increased. I wonder if the court can cope with it?" Guo Zhiyun was meeting with everyone and expressed his concerns.
Transporting it here from the rear would be too costly, even with a sled.
"What do you think, brother Qin?" Zhang Xiaosong asked Qin Li specifically, ignoring others.
Qin Li smiled: "Look with your eyes."
As a joke, he continued: "If the proprietor knows, he will make arrangements for it. The things that are difficult for us are normal for the proprietor."
"That's right." Hao Lingquan lived in Lijiazhuangzi for many days and learned many things.
What he felt most deeply was that any problem in front of Li Yi was not a problem and could be solved easily.
No matter how big the scale of the war against Tubo was, Li Yi still dealt with it normally, just spent more money. The key is that he earned it back immediately.
"Dongzhu Li is really awesome." Zhang Xiaosong was a Jinshi scholar, so he saw more.
He pursed his lips and said, "Dr. Li probably knew that he would need a lot of luggage, food and fodder, so he didn't mention taking the source of the Yellow River at the beginning.
When the people's yield per mu increased and the overall food and grass in the Tang Dynasty increased, he took action at this time.
It just so happens that Datang's domestic grain and grass supply will not be unsustainable due to supply at the border. Every step is planned in advance."
When he said this, the others looked surprised.
"The people who come after us are not allowed to live in the city. Outside the city, they build their own houses and sleep in tents. They work hard in the cold weather. If they are forced to that point, I believe they can do it."
Guo Zhiyun arranged work for the subsequent tribes and built houses according to the city, which could be used as defense.
It is not completely close to the city wall, but is separated by a certain distance.
Hao Lingquan thought about it and said, "Dig an ice cellar and let them take the ice and store it."
"There is no need for ice locally. Even in summer, the sun is hot outside, but the house is cool, and the daily temperature difference is huge."
Qin Li followed Li Yi's instructions and explained the situation here.
Ice is of no use in Tubo. Summer is only for a short period of time and we don’t have any cold drinks.
At that time, Dongzhu Li was talking about ultraviolet rays and seemed to want to get some facial cream or something in the future.
I just don’t know if I can make money in Tubo, Tubo is very poor.
"Then what else is there to do?" Wang Junkui was in a dilemma. He knew that everyone could not be left idle and had to work.
"I'll write a letter to the proprietor and ask." Qin Li couldn't think of anything, so he had to choose the simplest way.
If you have anything to ask the proprietor, it’s easy with the proprietor.
They didn't know that Li Yi was not in Chang'an and had gone on a trip.
A letter was rushed out, and everyone went outside to see the tribal arrangements in the city.
Li Yi's team at the other end rushed over with urgent news.
