Chapter 864, Entering Xiliang

  The days on the road are always boring. Fortunately, Daohua is busy reading all kinds of Western Liang books, and is busy preparing Gu Jian and Xiao Yeyang to eat, so the time is easy to pass.

  The more we go west, the colder the weather, and now it’s a cold winter, it is snowing in many places, and most of the time, the team has to rush towards the snow.

  Fortunately, Daohua was well prepared and brought enough warm clothes. Every time I went to a station, I would boil a big pot of cold medicine, and almost no one got sick along the way.

  Taohua sent Gu Jian refreshments and fresh fruit, and when he came back, he saw Xiao Yeyang gesturing with his cap and army coat.

  "This ear-protecting hat and cotton robe are well done. They are suitable for wearing in a bitter cold place like Xiliang. When did you prepare it?"

   Daohua smiled and said, “I asked Qin Xiaoliu to organize the women in Zhuangzi to start the production the next day when we knew we were going to Xiliang, just to try the cotton that I planted warm.”

   General Xiao Yeyang's coat was draped on him: "I think it's quite warm, and it's very cold-proof. By the way, how many sets have you made?"

  Inaba: "Time is too late. There are only a few hundred sets of clothes, but there are more than one thousand hats. Except for what I left for the team, the rest was taken away by the escort."

  Xiao Yeyang thought for a while: "I immediately passed a letter to Jiang Wenming Feige and asked him to take it out for the guards. We are all so cold, and they must be colder ahead."

   Daohua had no objection, and brought her and Xiao Yeyang’s food out and placed it on the small table in the carriage.

  Xiao Yeyang took the steaming meat porridge and drank several mouthfuls: "By the way, the old man's appetite is okay?"

   Daohua nodded, holding the porridge bowl and said: "Fortunately, Dr. Ge accompanied Master to discuss medical skills along the way. It will not be too boring. Master's spirit is good."

  Xiao Yeyang was relieved, the old man was so old after all, he was really worried that his bones would not be able to bear it, but fortunately, Yiyi took good care of him.

  "It should be in the realm of Xiliang in ten days’ time. I’m going to find out what’s going on in Xiliang first, and I may be separated from you for a while."

   Daohua: "If you are busy with you, I will take care of Master and myself." The guards left a hundred people, plus Cao Chuan's bald head. She was not worried about safety on the road.

  On November 16th, after walking for nearly a month, Daohua and his party finally stepped into the boundary of Xiliang.

  Xiliang really deserves to be a place of bitter cold of exile. Due to the imperial court’s negligence of management, even the official roads are extremely uneven.

  Taohua would rather go out riding a horse wrapped in zongzi than sitting in a carriage and be bumped.

  However, because it was too cold outside, she rode back into the carriage after less than half an hour.

   "Xiao Yeyang, this road is really too difficult to walk. I just arrived in Xiliang. Ganzhouwei is at the westernmost side of Xiliang. Wouldn't the road over there be impassable for carriage?"

  Xiao Yeyang stretched out his hand to cover Daohua’s red cheeks: "That's not enough, it's just a bit more upside-down."

   Daohuayan: "I have a foreboding that I will live in Ganzhouwei for a long time in the future."

   Xiao Yeyang laughed, "Otherwise, do you still want to run around?"

  Daohua: "Xiliang has a complex landform, including mountains, basins, plains, deserts, and Gobi. Since it is here, I naturally want to take a look around."

Xiao Yeyang knew that Daohua was a playful, and quickly reminded: "Xiliao is located on the border, and the situation is complicated. There is Xiliao watching from the outside, and the inside is extremely uneasy. Bandits are emerging. Without my company, you are not allowed to run around. ."

  Ina Flower: "I know how to measure." After speaking, he sighed, "It would be nice if the road can be repaired."

Xiao Yeyang listened and said with a smile: "Uncle Emperor sent me to Xiliang because he wanted me to manage Xiliang well. Not only must we eliminate the hidden dangers in Xiliao, but also manage Xiliang's internal affairs. I will be in full control in the future. In Xiliao, the official road will be well repaired."

  Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang with bright eyes: "I believe you, it can definitely be done."

Xiao Yeyang smiled: "I am afraid that only you will believe me like this. Before I leave, I promised Uncle Emperor that I will manage Xiliang well, and he just smiled. Yang Shoufu and Dudu Wu, who were next to him, said in their mouths. I am ambitious, but I don't believe it in my eyes."

  Ina Flower: "That's because they didn't have any eyesight, so you can manage a strong Xiliang, and then slap them in the face."

  Xiao Yeyang smiled and hugged Daohua tightly: "Okay, listen to you, take care of Xiliang, go back and beat Uncle Emperor and the others in the face."

  Ina Flower nodded with a smile.

  Xiao Yeyang left with Jin Lingwei on the third day of entering Xiliang. As soon as he left, the whole team was in charge of Daohua.

  Along the way, Daohua will supply supplies every time it goes to Xiliang. When it enters Xiliang, the convoy has a lot of supplies, and there are as many as fifty carriages for transporting supplies.

  Xiao Yeyang is gone. Daohua is not in a hurry. When passing through towns, he will almost stop to stroll around. One is to see what to buy, and the other is to get to know the customs of Xiliang.

  In the cold winter, there are very few people outside, and most of them are small vendors who carry cargo.

  Most of these vendors were wearing thin, shabby, thin cotton-padded clothes. Looking at their red cheeks and noses, Daohua couldn't help feeling cold for them.

  You should know that in winter in Xiliang, the outdoor temperature is absolutely below zero.

  ‘Kang Dang! ’

  When a vendor got up to carry the load because his feet moved stiffly, he staggered and brought the goods and fell on the cold snow.

  Watching the elderly vendors get up hurriedly, and tremblingly pick up the goods scattered on the ground with their cold and flushed hands, Daohua glanced at Bishi.

  Bishi received a signal and hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man pick up things.

   "Thank you, thank you!" The old man seemed a little scared and nervous when seeing Daohua and his party.

  Taohua didn’t let Cao Chuan get close, so she walked over and asked with a smile, “Old man, what kind of seeds are you selling?”

  The old man looked at Daohua, and saw that her expression was soft, and she relaxed a little: "In return to the nobles, the old man sells the seeds of pasture."

  Inahana heard it, and suddenly became interested: "Can I take a look?"

"certainly."

The old man hurriedly opened a small mouth of the bag containing the forage seeds, and said cautiously: "These seeds are all newly harvested this year. They are the favorite pastures for cattle, sheep and camels. This kind of seed has a strong ability to adapt to the soil. Resistant to cold and drought, not expensive, a penny is a catty."

   said, and quickly turned out a small bag of seeds.

  "The forage seeds in this bag are slightly more expensive, because this forage has a certain medicinal value. Cattle and sheep get sick after eating less, and it costs three cents a catty."

  Daohua looked at the seeds and said to the old man: "Old man, I bought all your seeds."

  The old man was stunned for a moment, and then he was ecstatic: "Thank you for your care, and thank you for your care."

  The pasture seeds in the cargo load are about a hundred kilograms, and Daohua motioned to Bishi to directly take a bunch of copper coins to the vendor: "Old man, the weather is so cold, go home soon."

  After speaking, he left with Bishi and others.

  The old man stared at the back of Daohua and his group for a while, then quickly put the copper wire into his pocket with his hands shaking.

  It was great luck for him to sell a hundred letters. I didn't expect that the nobleman would directly give him a thousand letters.

  The old man excitedly stirred up an empty load, and rushed home hopefully.

  With these thousand texts, the family can survive this cold winter.
