Chapter 449: Moving Forward
Jiang Wanru died a violent death and is guilty, so he has no right to return to the earth.
The Mudan tribe burned the bodies and the yurts together with firewood.
There has been no news of death from the tribe where Tang Qingluan and Cao Jing lived, so they should be living well.
Aunt Xu had no reaction to Jiang Wanru's death. These pampered noble ladies could not adapt to the life of the Di tribe, and death was only a matter of time.
After one heavy snowfall after another, it was already March. The grassland was still not green, and Song Liyun was going back to Suijin Town.
She was gone for half a year, and Xiao An
When Song Liyun was about to leave, Wan Youyou came over and asked her to go to her yard to eat.
Wan Youyou now has her own separate wooden house and yard, with three main rooms, two living rooms and a kitchen. Song Liyun's dowry and furniture are also placed here. She lives more luxuriously than anyone else in the tribe.
There are not only bedrooms and study rooms, but also workrooms.
Yuquan and the maids who used to take care of Song Liyun were also arranged to serve here, and hot water and hot meals were always available.
There was no other way. Ever since Song Liyun gave her the windmill design drawings, Wan Youyou had set a record of not eating, drinking or sleeping for two days and two nights.
Not only Abu's family was extremely anxious, but Mrs. Wu Ya even went to ask about her meal in person.
If this continued, something bad would happen. Song Liyun assigned Yuquan to supervise her rest, and assigned a little maid and a woman who knew medicine to her, leaving only Madam Yun by her side.
As soon as Song Liyun entered the room, she saw a new couplet hanging on the wall. It was written in a very flamboyant style... uh, it was written very well, but she didn't recognize it.
Wan Youyou was wearing a soft cotton robe and soft-soled embroidered shoes. She was sitting at the desk, writing furiously.
"Youyou, what do you want me to bring?"
Song Liyun knew that Wan Youyou's time was precious, and apart from saying a few words to Abu every day, she would never chat with her.
Wan Youyou put down her pen and took out a stack of papers from the wooden box next to her: "Young Madam, when you go to the provincial capital this time, please buy these things!" As she spoke, she spread out the papers one by one.
Song Liyun took a look and took a deep breath: "Where can you buy these things?"
Books, books, books, all books, many of which are marked as rare copies.
Since it is a unique copy, how could it exist in a border town like Yunzhou?
"You'd better buy silk, palace flowers, damask and satin snacks!" Song Liyun threw the list back.
Wan Youyou frowned and said, "I'm going to take you to Mida City. You said you would take me wherever you go."
She is now clinging to Song Liyun, and she said early on that she would follow the young lady after getting married.
"You are Abu's daughter-in-law, and you will stay in the Wuda tribe in the future."
Song Liyun refused outright, saying that Wan Youyou and Abu had already been engaged and would be getting married in the winter, and she could not kidnap people.
"To be honest, I'm planning to build the high-temperature furnace you mentioned, which can be used to smelt molten iron!" Wan Youyou glanced at the door and said in a low voice.
Song Liyun was shocked: "No, you can't touch this now, and don't want those rare books. I'll give you one book, enough for you to read for ten years."
She had used an electromagnet to probe the sand and gravel along the Kara River some time ago and found a small amount of iron sand in it. She casually mentioned iron smelting.
The underdeveloped mining industry on the grassland does not mean that it does not exist.
Song Liyun regretted it after she said it.
If other people knew that the Wuda tribe could smelt iron, neither the Wu Dynasty nor the Di royal court would tolerate it.
The craftsmen sent by Duke Anguo this time had regulations for the blacksmiths.
The Wuda tribe can make iron knives and other daily necessities, but they cannot make arrows and scimitars.
The Wuda tribe had to purchase iron billets from the Wu Dynasty, and there were not enough iron blocks available.
Compared with the Wu Dynasty, the current Wuda tribe is not even a hair on its leg, and its military and financial resources still rely on the Wu Dynasty.
If he were to dare to challenge the bottom line of the Wu Dynasty and make the Queen Mother turn against him, he would have to live the same fearful and miserable nomadic life as before.
Developing financial resources is the bottom line.
The mill house and textile machinery driven by the windmill have been put into production.
Technology has led to a surge in productivity. Several spinning machines worked day and night, and wool from surrounding tribes was sent over to be processed into yarn.
Abu also took people to purchase from more distant tribes.
Two craftsmen were preparing the second and third windmills, and the textile industry was taking shape in a strange and reluctant way.
Although Wan Youyou, the chief engineer, has been free, she has been fascinated by this magical power and is thinking about what to do all day long.
In order to keep the lonely Wan Youyou calm and prevent her from getting into trouble, Song Liyun casually gave her a science skills book of the "One Hundred Thousand Whys" version from her own space.
Whether it's burning charcoal, making pottery, distilling water, making glass or cement, as long as you don't make an atomic bomb with your hands, you can do it without making any mistakes.
She wasn't afraid of driving Wan Youyou crazy, she just wanted to calm this nerd down.
Zhao Tingduo was planning to go back to Suijin Town with her this time, but before leaving, someone came from Mida City.
It is already March, and there is still snow on the grassland. Those who worked hard to make money in Mida City have come again.
Working in the grassland for a year would earn you at least twenty taels of silver, so you could go back and build a house and get married. No one could stay idle at home, so you gathered a large group of friends. There were good and bad people among them, and people from all over the place. As soon as they arrived in the Mida Valley, there were several fights.
The soldiers stationed at the Lei Camp tried to suppress the rebellion several times but to no avail, and the young master had to deal with it personally.
Zhao Tingduo now needs to go directly to Mida Valley.
After the discussion, Song Liyun returned to Suijin Town. After seeing her niece, she left Hecheng and reunited with Zhao Tingduo.
The couple reluctantly parted ways and went their separate ways.
In March, the grassland was still cold and covered with snow.
Song Liyun was riding on a horse, with two carriages behind her.
The wool yarn inside was put into the space, and the empty car ran quickly on the sand.
Wu Dan and Shi Tou went with Song Liyun, and ten tribesmen would escort them to the entrance of the Huangsha River Valley.
It was Madam Yun who suggested that Shitou return to Suijin Town, asking him to come back to repair the grave of his deceased father.
Madam Yun did not come back with them. The spring wind and sand were too strong and her riding skills were not enough to control the horse.
It was really easy to travel with tribes along the way, and there was no need to worry about accommodation.
Song Liyun and his group traveled light and overnight, and arrived at the Balin tribe in just five days.
Balin was very happy to see Song Liyun back. He first prepared a banquet and waited for Song Liyun to have a good rest before reporting the results of this winter: "Young Madam, Han Ming and I took the beef and paid for it with feed. Master Lin took the ox horns..."
His cattle were kept in pens this winter, eating various straw and fodder transported from Suijin Town.
Without the hard work of herding, men have plenty of free time at home during the winter.
Three more women in the tribe became pregnant, one of whom was his.
As the chief of the tribe, Balin felt happy when he looked at the fat and strong cattle and sheep in the circle and the upcoming newborns.
There were no other changes, and it was almost the same as when Song Liyun left before the New Year.
Stay in the tribe for one night and return to Suijin Town the next day.
Upon hearing the news, Xiao An immediately returned from Tianxiang Tower. When Song Liyun saw him for the first time, she felt as if she saw a stranger.
It's only been three months since we last met, but Xiao An's condition has already changed.
Wearing a fitted cotton jacket, a belt around his waist, and a cloth scarf on his head, he looked serious and stern, riding on a tall horse, and instantly transformed from a child into a man.
Only the big monkey in colorful clothes squatting on the horse's butt was particularly eye-catching.
