Hanyang Fur Wharf, this special wharf was set up for a short time, but two years, has become an important starting point for transshipment to Chang'an and then out of Longyou to Dunhuang.

There are not only a large number of northern furs, such as deerskin, bear skin, wolf skin, mink skin, etc., but also rhinoceros skin, whale baleen, whale skin, buffalo skin and other South China Sea specialties transported from thousands of miles of stone ponds.

Among them, the bear skin is a high-level warm material distributed by Dunhuang to the officers, which is purchased by the Dunhuang Palace, and the transaction records are all in the hands of the inner government. The rhinoceros leather and buffalo leather belong to the tanned semi-finished products, and after they are taken to Dunhuang, they are directly processed and sewn by the leather craftsmen of Dunhuang to make different grades of leather armor, which is specially designed to adapt to the special weather in the Western Regions.

In particular, when the Western Army occupied the southern part of the city, it had encountered the Persian royal guards and was known as the "Death Army".

Of course, the legion must not be talked about, because most of the territory of Persia has fallen, and all the densely populated areas have fallen, and the "Death Legion" has already surrendered and surrendered.

Such is the case with law and order warfare, which does not consider the annihilation of all life in the eyes. No matter how well-equipped the small units of the Tang Army were, they were occasionally left alone, and they were poisoned. In the end, Anbo's cavalry had to assume a large number of "police" functions, which is why there was a "sheriff".

However, because the "sheriff" did not form a combat object and had the quality of a professional soldier, after several explorations, he chose leather armor instead of heavy armor, plate armor, or pierced armor and light armor.

As for dealing with nomadic tribes, light armor or even no armor can be used, and the combat contact is extremely fast, and the end is also fast. Basically, it was a matter of cavalry charging, but it was much easier and easier to deal with the vicious "bandits".

And because the Western Regions were not long after the recovery, the people's hearts were undecided, so the local production of armor was forbidden, but all the workers and craftsmen who could make armor moved to Dunhuang. The entire Western Regions, taking leather armor as an example, is only an export place for armor materials, not a place of production.

All the armor of the Western Regions is imported from the customs. In the places with mass production of semi-finished products, there are only two and a half, Wuhan and Chang'an are counted as one each, and Luoyang is counted as half. After all, a semi-finished product is not considered a finished product, so according to the law, there is no problem.

Whether it is policy or market, it is an indisputable fact that Wuhan's leather market has gradually overtaken Chang'an. Since the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, semi-finished products produced in Chuzhou have long occupied most of the market in Kannai Province. In addition to the procurement of the internal government, the procurement of the Ministry of War is also a considerable part. After all, leather armor is not only used in the Western Regions, such as Fuzhou, Jianzhou and other places, in order to fight the villains of pirates and Yuedi fangren, the demand for leather armor is at least two military governments.

Zhenguannian's military system has not been corrupted, and the so-called tiger is majestic, not to mention Li Dong, a hegemon-level tiger who is in the sky, and even the old chairman, a "sick cat" who is about to die, has continued year after year, and it is probably no problem to survive until Zhenguan's eighteenth year.

In the early years, leather armor was still expensive, and it was not cost-effective for the military department to procure, but after eight years of Zhenguan, the cost of leather armor became lower and lower. It can even achieve the unity of the system, which is very powerful.

On the southeast coast, as long as two or three regiments of government soldiers can be guaranteed to wear leather armor, they are basically peaceful. Even if there was a rebellion on the scale of 100,000 people, it was just a matter of five or six hundred regular troops.

Although it has created a kind of Wuhan leather industry is dependent on the policy to eat, but in fact it is not the case, since the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, that is, since last year, the proportion of the consumer market has risen greatly.

Among them, the main consumer force, naturally Chang'an and Luoyang, Luoyang is extremely exaggerated, in the early years of winter, wearing cotton robes are expensive, to this day, the neck is not wrapped in the mink, that must be either "poor" or "cheap". The consumption of fur, such as bear skin, was almost negligible in the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, and skyrocketed to 12,000 in the winter of the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, and only one was used to move the capital.

This year, Wuhan estimates that the number of bearskins will at least double, or 24,000.

24,000 heads, enough to kill the bears in Monan and Liaodong, and by the way, even the bears in the territory of the Tatar people were driven further north.

This is an impossible task, Zhenguan can have such an amount in sixteen years, or because there are so many backlogs. By this year, a bearskin has risen to 500 yuan, which is still a small one and is in extremely poor condition. It's not possible to make a big coat, let alone a coat, that is, to get a vest or a hat or something.

One hat, five hundred, this is going crazy......

But Luoyang is like this, and the entire consumer market in Beijing is so crazy. This also led to the fact that the "expeditions" in wild numbers, which finally surpassed the "regular army".

"Professional hunters" who made their fortune by hunting "protected animals" were born, and these hunters never hunted for a living or to make a living, and they were the same as "bounty hunters", a very pure pursuit of wealth.

There are also many "bounty hunters" chasing pirates in the East China Sea, and their nature is the same. And the madness of the sea is even more exaggerated than that of the hunters of rare treasures. There are too many vendettas at sea, personal feuds, feuds, and one-sided feuds...... All hatred can be solved by killing.

The law, which does not exist...... At least at sea.

"Secretary, this Xunyang Shipyard said that there is a big ship to be launched this month, according to the secretary's opinion, can this be done?"

As the "secretary in charge", Zhang Li rarely talks, of course, he actually wants to say something in his stomach, and he is very suffocated.

But because of my profession, it's not easy to talk about some topics during working hours, and if I get into the secrets of the Observation Embassy, it will be troublesome. So when it comes to things in the field, everything can be smooth.

As soon as his colleagues talked about the Xunyang Shipyard, Zhang Li came to the spirit: "It's good that they have a ship, and the keel is constantly launched, what do you expect it to do?" ”

"No, secretary, how can I say this, Xunyang Shipyard has also been built in eight years."

"What's wrong with it? At the current Xunyang Shipyard, do you think it is still the same shipyard a few years ago? It used to be the official office of Jiangzhou, and it still had the Ministry of Industry on its head, but now? That's a fart, a few gentlemen are still recruiting share capital, let's die. ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard it, and they were not very easy to speak.

But a few days later, suddenly the "Wuhan Evening News" published a message, saying that the newly launched ship of Xunyang Shipyard encountered a strong wind and waves on the river, the keel was broken, and the boat sank to the bottom of the river.

For a while, the entire yamen was dumbfounded, and they all said that Secretary Zhang's mouth was so powerful!
