Daqin: Reign in the world

In this bitter cold place, the biggest problem in winter is heating.

The Xianyang side has already sent all the short-staple cotton harvested this autumn to Ashhada. Sima Xin gathered a large number of tailors to make cotton clothes for the sergeants.

Cotton clothing is a rarity. In the past, the people of Buyeo and Su Shen also filled their clothes with empty bubbles to keep warm.

It’s just that compared with this cotton coat, it’s much worse.

Sima Xin also distributed the accumulated charcoal to various cities for storage. Selling at a low price helped the people who settled in the city to prepare for the winter.

Stone charcoal is dug out of the ground, and its own cost is much lower than that of charcoal.

As soon as the market sold charcoal, it attracted a large number of nomadic and hunting people to live in the city.

To Sima Xin’s expectations, just by selling charcoal, the number of residents in Shucheng, Ding Zero, and Hulun City skyrocketed!

This is a bonus!

When the city was built, these places were selected near the water’s edge. A larger number of residents means more land can be planted in the coming year.

Yingteng and Zhao Tuo were also busy hoarding forage.

In winter, a large number of horses, cattle and sheep are kept together. Get closer to each other to ensure that you don’t freeze to death.

Kong Jia gave a suggestion to set up water points throughout the city to supply hot water.

For most people living in poverty, they may not even be able to afford charcoal. People who are hungry and cold, often a bowl of hot water, may save a life.

The prairie is busy, and everyone is fighting to survive.

At this moment, something went wrong.

A batch of charcoal transported to Ding Zero was robbed halfway.

This batch of stone charcoal was originally sent directly from Shucheng to Ding Zero City. Because he was busy with winter reserves, Zhao Zhongshi did not send many troops to escort, but only used some ordinary coachmen and Liba.

Thinking that the people passing through on the way are all the territory of Hulun City, there should be no trouble.

However, just after passing Hulun City, he was robbed by someone!

Yingteng was angry at that time!

Isn’t this slapping him in the face?

Bring your own guards and personally investigate the scene, wanting to see who is so daring?

Yingteng also trained the elite of a battalion for himself, named the Snow Wolf Battalion.

The snow wolf is huge and extremely ferocious, and it is a fierce animal that makes people smell and change color on the grassland. Most importantly, snow wolves can survive in such a harsh environment and are particularly patient.

One of the qualities that Winteng values the most is patience.

With the snow wolf camp, he came to the place of the incident.

On the savannah, nothing can be hidden. Horseshoe prints and rut prints, pointing in one direction.

Looking at the dead coachman’s corpse on the ground, he also found that the bows and arrows used by these people were not the kind commonly used by steppe people. The weapons are also very primitive, and they are not bronze weapons yet.

It doesn’t look like the robbers are steppe people.

The cart was laden with charcoal, and the rut marks were deep and easy to track. Moreover, pulling such heavy charcoal, it is impossible to run fast.

After Yingteng simply watched the scene, he took the snow wolf camp and chased down the rut print.

I don’t know who this group is?

But apparently, they knew that charcoal was useful and were ready to snatch it back for the winter.

Yingteng led the army all the way to a mountainous area.

Near Hulun Pond, there are many forests. Yingteng also sent people to cut down a large number of trees and transport them back to Hulun City for use. But they were all cut along the river.
