Everyone is caught in the story of Leng Feng and can't extricate themselves, every day is like a year, and one day is easy and fast, the switch between these two feelings depends on where Leng Feng was stuck last night.

In this long story, the team leaves the late autumn zone and enters the cold zone.

October!

The weather in Chang'an in October has not really ushered in the "cold", but when you put it in the cold front, it is about to drip into ice.

At this time, it is the opportunity for cotton clothes to appear! There are more than 2,000 people, each of whom is equipped with a cotton jacket and a thin down jacket, and at this time there is no need to put on a down jacket, just a cotton jacket is enough.

As for whether you like to put it inside the armor or put it on the outside of the armor, it depends on your personal hobbies.

Ashina Ayi didn't, and neither did Wanzhu.

The two of them who joined halfway were not in the plan, but it happened that the Dragon Tooth Army lost two soldiers, and their share was handed over to Ashina Ayi and Wan Zhu, I don't know whether to be happy or sad.

Li Xiaogong put the cotton clothes in the armor, touching the cold armor leaves, he couldn't help but sigh: "Fortunately, these materials have been preserved, otherwise we would all have to freeze into turtle grandchildren in this weather!" ”

"Such a cold weather, in fact, is just a prelude, and the next is approaching winter, which is the most difficult day, I only hope that we will not be abandoned by this land, how much we have to encounter open-pit coal mines!"

"There's coal here?"

Li Xiaogong looked at Leng Feng in shock: "How do you know?" ”

Leng Feng was silent, how to find a basis for the knowledge of future generations?

Further north is Winter Siberia, Winter Siberia has developed forestry, and there are many open-pit coal mines, and if there is no wood and coal for heating in this hellish place, even if there are cotton clothes and down jackets, people will freeze to death.

Li Xiaogong saw that Leng Feng was silent, so he didn't dwell on this issue, but said to Tang Jian beside him: "Since there is a coal mine here, then we should find a way to mine it, although it is cold, but you can imagine what kind of wealth this coal mine can create." ”

In the past, coal was only used by some blacksmiths, and it was too expensive for civilian families to either have a nearby coal mine that they didn't want to use, or because there was no coal mine nearby.

But now, the development of coal stoves has led to the consumption of coal, and last year's coal was not enough, and the coal industry, which had been depressed, was revitalized, and then there was heating, and the consumption of coal was even greater, and only those who had enough titles and official positions could buy enough coal.

It is to be expected that coal consumption will only increase this winter, and the coal industry will definitely become a large transaction in the future, although it is not accessible here, but as long as there are coal mines, it will be valuable.

And valuable land......... Even if the emperor doesn't like it, the nobles will be blushing, and try their best to provoke the emperor to kill all the northern Turks and open the way to dig coal in the north.

Sometimes, it's not that the emperor doesn't want to fight a country, so he won't do it, if the entire court is united, even the emperor has to compromise.

It was getting dark and obviously early, Leng Feng called out to everyone, ordered to camp and rest, the next night was colder than the day, different from the previous randomness, now you must be ready to keep warm.

In the grasslands, the soldiers complained to each other that the cowhide tents were too thick and impermeable, and that they were not as cool as the single linen tents, but now, no one said so, and they were eager to block the exit of the tent to keep out the cold wind outside.

The only thing to be thankful for now is that there is a quilt, three or five people huddle together, get into the quilt, haha, the warm taste is not said. (except for a little frozen face)

Ashina Ayi also fell in love with the quilt, and when Leng Feng was about to eat dinner, she stopped him: "Leng Feng, is this cotton the white silk flower planted by Gaochang people?" ”

Leng Feng looked at her strangely: "You guys are not far from Gaochang, why don't you know that they have cotton?" ”

Ashina Ayi shook his head: "I've heard of it, I haven't seen it, there is no such thing in the gift that Gao Chang gives us every year." ”

"Alliance?" Leng Feng understood after a little doubt.

Gaochang, a small country that survives in the gap between big countries, if you want to live well, you should please both sides, and the blunt point is to act as a "younger brother" to give gifts to your brother, but Lu Wentai, a stupid child, thought that the Tang Dynasty had not been established for a long time, and the foundation was too shallow, so he didn't give gifts to the Tang Dynasty.

This is embarrassing, if you give a gift, Datang has to think about it before beating you, if you don't give a gift, then hit you directly! Without hesitation!

Li Shimin, who came out of the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, if he looked at a country unpleasantly, he would never consider whether he would fight or not, but would only consider whether the grain and grass were enough to support this battle, and whether the country was worth fighting!

Poor Gaochang happened to meet both of these conditions.

"Maybe the Gaochang people are hiding too tightly, haha, I won't tell you, those soldiers are still waiting for me to tell the story!"

The storytelling show every night has become fixed, and there is basically no need to guess to know that they are already waiting there with a bowl.

Today's bonfire was a bit weird, and Leng Feng looked at the abnormally colored lumpy thing inside the pile of wood, and wondered if it was coal!

"Is this coal? Who found it? ”

Tang Jin, who was beside Tang Jian, raised his hand: "Gong Xiguo, I found it, let's go to the mountain next to us to chop wood, there are a few big guys in the stone pile, I will move it over." ”

"Good! Before leaving tomorrow, you take people to that place again, bring more with you, I kept the carriage and didn't throw it away, just to pull coal. ”

It seems that Tang Jin, this kid, was lucky and actually found a corner of the open-pit coal mine.

Lumpy coal, can never be a lonely one or two, one or two pieces of coal on the natural ground, after wind and rain, will soon become cinders, only nearby coal mines, can appear lumpy.

"Gotcha! That Gong Guo, I'm considered meritorious, right? ”

Leng Feng nodded: "It's indeed a meritorious service, what's the matter, you want a reward?" Or do you want military merit? ”

Tang Jin shook his head: "This is not a big merit, I hope you will talk about one more pillar of incense tonight, okay, hehe!" ”

It's just a pillar of incense, it's nothing, Leng Feng happily agreed.

Leng Feng started to talk here, but more than 200 people left the table halfway, not because they didn't want to listen, but because they had a task to do.

Yan Liben and his craftsmen!

Leng Feng brought them to show their strengths, not only to make sleds, but also to build iron stoves.

I used to delay things with an iron stove, but if there was no iron stove on the road after that, I would be guilty of the boss.
