Chapter 172 Wool War

Utor drove a large group of animals to Sanyang City again.

This is where he brings more cattle. The cattle in the tribe can only be used for food. This is such a waste.

Beef was only for the aristocracy, and other people had no problem eating sheep.

The value of cattle is higher and can be exchanged for more supplies.

Most of the cattle in their tribe are sold to Sanyang City.

The herd of cattle he drove were materials he exchanged in Sanyang City and cattle from other tribes in the north.

Utor soon came to Sanyang City and exchanged his herd of cattle for 50,000 taels of silver coins.

With so many silver coins, you can buy more things.

Utor bought a large amount of iron pots, grain, tea and other materials.

He loaded up his car and was about to leave when he saw an advertisement on the street.

"A good sweater to protect you from the cold and keep you warm. One or two silver coins a piece."

Utor looked at his leather jacket, which was leaking.

Han people's sweaters can still be as warm as their fur coats.

It only costs one or two silver coins, and if it's really warm, it's worth it.

Winter is about to begin here on the grassland, and the annual white-haired wind will not only take away many cattle and sheep.

A lot of the elderly and children in the tribe will also be taken away.

The thermal insulation ability of tents is still not as good as that of Han people's houses.

Utor bought a sweater and woolen trousers, which cost a total of two silver coins.

He tried it on directly in the store and was blown away by the cold wind when he walked out of the store.

Utor felt that he didn't feel cold at all. This sweater was so warm.

Wearing a sweater underneath and a big leather jacket outside.

He dares to walk in the white-haired wind.

"Shopkeeper, give me 30,000 sets."

Utor made up his mind to give the warriors of his tribe.

Each person is given two sets of sweaters, which can increase their fighting strength in winter.

The herdsmen of the tribe are each issued a set to enable them to survive the winter on the grassland.

Yang Tengfei immediately smiled and warmly received Utol.

He didn't expect that this Mongolian would be so generous.

Yang Tengfei transported a large number of refugees from Huguang.

He was received by King Su He of Qin and became a noble.

When Yang Tengfei returned to Hanzhong, he happened to meet Qian Mingyi who was about to go to Ningxia to take office.

Qian Mingyi asked him to organize the transportation of refugees to Ningxia, and the Ningxia government would be responsible for all expenses.

As long as he accomplishes this, he can get the wool produced by the wool textile factory as soon as possible.

After the wool textile technology spread, he would be the first businessman to participate in technology sharing.

Yang Pengfei knew Qian Mingyi, who was a popular figure around King Qin.

He immediately agreed and organized the refugees to go to Ningxia.

His prestige among the refugees can easily mobilize these refugees.

Yang Tengfei bought a large amount of wool from a wool textile factory.

Everyone else shipped wool to Hanzhong.

Yang Tengfei got a tip from Qian Mingyi. The farther north you go, the colder the place, the greater the demand for sweaters.

He immediately thought that it would be even colder in Mongolia, where they did not yet have cotton-padded clothes, down jackets and other clothing to keep out the cold.

The sweaters will definitely sell well in Mongolia.

No one realizes this yet, but he would have made huge profits in the past.

Yang Tengfei learned that Mongolians are not good at female prostitutes, and selling wool is not a good business either. The profit is too low.

He immediately hired a large number of female weavers to weave a large number of sweaters and other ready-made garments according to the Mongolian body shape.

These ready-made clothes are too expensive and their sales in Hanzhong area will definitely not be very good.

Just like the current clothing stores in Hanzhong, they all take the high-end route.

The main targets are young masters and ladies from rich families.

People buy their own cloth and go back to have their clothes cut.

When Yang Tengfei came to Sanyang City, he didn't sell a few sweaters at first. He was very worried about whether his decision was correct.

Until he saw a big Mongolian man who spent a lot of money, he knew that his choice was right.

If he gets this done, he will become a more successful businessman than his father.

Utor saw the clerk in this store packing sweaters and woolen trousers for him according to the size of the clothes he provided.

He looked at the shopkeeper who was about the same size as him and asked curiously: "What kind of material are these clothes made of? Why have I never seen them before?"

Utor was very curious, he had never seen this kind of material.

When the tribesmen went south to thresh the grass in the valley, they should have grabbed a lot of clothes, which were more southern clothes.

"This is made from wool. Now the price of wool has risen so fast that it has reached fifty copper coins per pound.

If the price of wool rises again, the price of wool will inevitably rise, and then the price of sweaters will be even higher.

If your tribe has a larger population and wants to buy more sweaters, try to buy them now."

Yang Tengfei tried his best to sell his sweaters. This Mongolian man didn't bargain at all, and he made a lot of money for every one he sold.

Utor didn't listen to what Yang Tengfei was saying at all.

He only heard that a pound of wool had grown to fifty copper coins.

Calculating the income from raising sheep, as long as the tribe raises a large number of sheep.

The income from shearing sheep is much higher than before going south to thresh the grass in the valley.

The Ming army encountered when raiding the grass valley was too weak, but they would resist.

If a large number of people really get injured and die, the tribe will lose a lot.

While Utor was thinking, a man came running over with sweat all over his head.

"The young master's family is in trouble. The wool has grown to eighty copper coins per pound."

Yang Tengfei's eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "How is this possible? How could the wool rise so much?

I calculated the cost, and fifty copper coins per pound was already high.

At eighty copper coins per pound, how much does woolen yarn and sweaters need to go up to recover the cost?"

When Utor heard the news, he immediately returned to the tribe.

Now the sheep have become walking gold mines.

He brought out the warriors of the tribe, and his tribe raised a large number of sheep, which would be coveted by other tribes.

Yang Tengfei looked at the big Mongolian man and hurriedly loaded the car and left without even having time to check the sweater.

He immediately told the clerk: "Cross the Great Wall and go to the wool textile factory to find out how the price of wool has risen now."

Yang Tengfei went to the warehouse to check the inventory of sweaters and woolen pants.

He wants to readjust the selling price of sweaters according to the increase in wool prices.

It was getting dark, and the waiter came back in a hurry.

"Shaodongjia, the price of wool from the wool textile factory has not increased."

When Yang Tengfei heard this result, he was stunned on the spot.

"Is it possible that in the woolen textile factory, he is not prepared to make money and wants to work for nothing?

Purchasing wool at this price does not increase the selling price of wool.

Woolen textile factories are trying to make money at a loss, and their purpose is really incomprehensible."

…………………………

Utor looked at a cavalry, preparing to attack their tribe.

Now because of the skyrocketing price of wool, it has risen to one hundred copper coins per pound.

At this price, someone sold a lot of wool.

No tribe could bear it, and at first they traded sheep with tribes in the north who didn't know the news.

The transaction didn't last long before the news spread.

A new round of reshuffle has begun on the grassland.

Wool means silver coins, which can be exchanged for a large amount of materials in Sanyang City.

This allows a tribe to survive better.

Raising sheep requires a large amount of pasture, as well as enough sheep breeders and herders.

Raising sheep by yourself is not as fast as robbing other tribes.

By robbing other tribes, a large number of pastures, sheep breeding and herdsmen can also be provided.

With this kind of shortcut, they are all Mongolians with strong martial virtues.

As long as one tribe cannot bear it, the entire grassland will be in chaos.

Utor had already fought off the third tribe that wanted to plunder them.

He did not dare to lead his troops too far away from the tribe for fear of being attacked by other tribes.

Utor collected the remains of the tribal warriors and asked the wizard to perform the ritual, and the souls of the tribal warriors returned to the Immortal Heaven.

He returned to the tribe, feeling very depressed, and went to find his father.

"Abu, why are we besieged by so many tribes?

If this continues, the tribe will not be able to survive, what should we do?"

A battle-hardened tribal leader, he looked at his son with eyes filled with vicissitudes of life. His son was young and still had too little experience.

"Why are we being besieged? It's because our tribe is too wealthy.

Your trade with the Han people has resulted in a large amount of supplies, which cannot be exchanged for sheep on the grassland.

The location of our tribe is so good that it directly blocks the trading channels between other tribes in the north and the Han people.

There are still many people who want to drive us away, and their tribes occupy this place."

The old man's body was a little stooped, and his eyes were as sharp as a falcon.

"Prepare a group of excellent war horses, go to the Han people, and exchange the war horses for steel swords and armor.

As long as the men are well armed, these rabble cannot defeat the warriors of our tribe."

When Utor heard what his father said, he was shocked and said: "Abu, if we do this, we will become the losers and be besieged by other tribes."

"Listen to me, we are being besieged by other tribes right now and we don't need to abide by these rules.

Now because the Han people collect wool at high prices, the grassland has become a mess.

Each tribe is robbing other tribes' sheep, and no one cares about it.

They will also make deals with the Han people, and only the winner can decide the rules.

If our tribe is annexed by other tribes, why should we abide by the rules now."

Utor felt that he understood, but he didn't understand some things.

For the first time, he drove his war horse to Sanyang City to exchange supplies.

When he made his request, he thought that these Han people would make more demanding demands.

For example, the sales of weapons will be restricted, or they will not be sold to them directly.

Utor did not expect that the Han people traded happily.

He exchanged more than 5,000 high-quality war horses for 5,000 steel knives and 5,000 pieces of armor.

Before replacing the steel sword and armor, Utor personally inspected the goods.

He holds a Han steel sword in his left hand and an ancestral sword in his right hand.

He smashed it down hard with both hands, and the ancestral sword was broken into two sections. There was no small gap in the steel knife in his hand.

He used the half-broken sword to slash at the armor provided by the Han people.

These fish scale armors, when struck with a knife, bursts of sparks erupted, but the armor was basically undamaged.

Utor was very satisfied with these fish scale armors. It could withstand attacks from swords and arrows, and his tribe would definitely surprise the enemy.

…………………………

At the headquarters of the Third Army, the three commanders Su Hu, Su Li, and Li Dazhuang and other senior officers of the three armies gathered together.

Lu Bo smiled and said to everyone: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin is really a great talent, sitting in Hanzhong he can decide the situation on the grassland.

The increase in wool prices directly disrupted the grasslands and broke the alliance between the Mongols.

Now we use steel swords and armor in exchange for a large number of war horses.

These are excellent Mongolian horses, and the cavalry regiment can finally replace the low southwestern horses.

When Zhang Wansi gets this news, he will definitely thank us sincerely."

Li Dazhuang said with emotion: "We sold armor and steel knives to the Mongols, but it had little impact on us.

These armors cannot withstand firearm attacks at all.

They can only use these armors and steel swords to kill each other.

Now the Mongolian tribes have begun to cause chaos in order to rob sheep and pasture.

We took advantage of this opportunity to directly recapture the Hetao area.

We had made adequate preparations before, but we were afraid that if we attacked the Hetao area, the Mongolian tribes would unite and attack us.

Now they are fighting fiercely among themselves. Some people want to unite them, but they can't do it now.

The Mongols who are now our enemies have become the Mongolian tribes in the Hetao area.

There is no way he can withstand our troops.

This war should be easier."

Su Hu nodded and said: "Yes, the time is ripe for us to regain the Hetao area.

We built towers and cities from two directions, Ningxia and Yulin, and now the cities on both sides are almost closed.

The prerequisites for recovering the Hetao area were already mature.

Now that the Mongols in other areas are in chaos again, this is an excellent opportunity.

In particular, we tried our best to support a few good ones, among which Utor, the remnant of Monan Chahar, performed the best.

He single-handedly blocked many Mongolian tribes for us.

Let me announce below that all armies will follow their established plans.

Part of them started to attack inward along the Yellow River.

Part of them attacked from the Great Wall and compressed the living area of ​​the Mongolian tribes outwards.

The two armies completed the encirclement operation together.

Our main purpose is to drive away the Mongolian tribes who resist us from the Hetao area.

If one or two Mongolian tribes escape, it won't have much impact."

The battle plan to regain the Hetao area has been prepared for a long time.

Su Hu's order was issued, and the army immediately began to take action.

A large number of iron box trucks and rockets were used in this war.

The purpose of the Qin army was not to eliminate the Mongols in the Hetao area.

The Qin army's goal was to seize the land in Hetao.

The Mongols felt that they could not fight against the Qin army because of the important territory and the people. They relied on the high mobility of the cavalry.

If they follow the gap in the encirclement of the army and run out of the encirclement, the Qin army will not expend any effort to pursue them.

Seeing that the Qin army was invincible, through this period of mutual trading, I felt that the Qin army was loyal.

If they want to stay in the Hetao area, they only need to obey the Qin army's orders and disarm the tribes.

These Mongolian tribes are also allowed to stay in the Hetao area.

…………………………

Before the snow fell, the Mongolian tribes launched a large-scale annexation war because of wool, which finally ended.

The Mongolian tribes, who traded closely with the Han people, won the final victory.

Steel knives and steel fish scale armor are simply crushed when faced with iron weapons and armor.

Your own sword can easily cut through the enemy's armor.

My own armor can protect me from the enemy's sword.

The impact this has on the morale of an army is simply immeasurable.

Under the circumstances, the results achieved by the Mongolian tribes were closely related to the number of steel knives and armors they obtained.

After the annexation of these Mongolian tribes was completed, they discovered that the Qin army had already captured the Hetao area.

They officially extended their power to the grassland.

But after learning about the powerful firepower displayed by the Qin army in regaining the Hetao area, all the Mongolian tribes did not dare to act rashly.

At the celebration banquet, Su Hu said happily: "The biggest contribution to the recovery of the river area this time is the woolen textile factory.

Without them continuing to raise wool prices, there would not have been chaos in the grasslands.

The price of wool peaked at one hundred copper coins per pound.

With such a high price, most Mongolian tribes couldn't help but take action.

Now that the Hetao area has been recovered, we have no further war plans.

Wool prices can now return to normal prices.

Everyone must work together to safeguard the gains of our war."
