After coming out of the restaurant, the sun sets in the west and the cool breeze rises, which makes the coolness feel chill. The summer outside the border comes late but goes particularly early.

Tao Shiqi said goodbye to everyone and took his followers to the outside of the city. He lived in the factory and took a group of people to install the machine. It was too inconvenient to live in the city. When the machine was installed, people would be left here. In the autumn, they would collect the wool and debug together.

While walking, I suddenly whispered loudly next to me: "Is Tao Dianzhi there? I haven't seen each other for many years!"

Tao Shiqi looked back and saw that it was the little prince selling horses he met in Tanglong Town many years ago. He was wearing a man's outfit and stood in front of a store.

He responded and went forward to salute, Tao Shiqi said, "Little Prince, why are you in Shengzhou City?"

Wang Pu said: "Dianzhi, don't call me a little prince anymore. I took my tribe with my clan and settled in Dongsheng, built a farm, shepherds and farming. A few days ago, I rented a shop in Shengzhou City, and I was very lucky. I rented this shop and sold some wine and food. Dianzhi, you were the one who was with my husband in charge back then, why did my husband not see you when he returned to Tanglong Town?"

Tao Shiqi smiled and said, "Don't call me a palace. I am now working in the Iron Supervisor, and I am a servant. With an official position, I can't be like before. Wherever my husband goes, I will go wherever I go? When I was on Jingxi Road, I was placed in the Iron Supervisor."

Wang Pudao: "It's still early, and I came to my shop to drink tea. How can I stand in front of the store and speak?"

After he gave Tao Shiqi to the store, several entourages found a seat outside. Wang Pu and Tao Shiqi sat down in the small hall. After tea, Wang Pu said, "Study, I wonder what you are doing now? What happened when I came to Shengzhou this time?"

Tao Shiqi said: "Well--now the Iron Supervisor is just building new machines, and so on--"

Wang Pu laughed and said, "I understand, understand, the little one knows nothing about these things that the Master did, and I don't know what it is."

Tao Shiqi smiled and felt a little embarrassed. Wang Pu was right. No matter how detailed he was to them, he might not know what he was doing. Not to mention his own people, even the Han people in the city did not understand what he did.

After drinking a sip of tea, Tao Shiqi said: "This time I arrived in Shengzhou, I was ordered by my husband to send the wool spinning machine."

Wang Pu was stunned when he heard this: "I also heard about the machine transported from Central Plains. What factory should be opened in Shengzhou to spin wool and weave cloth. It turned out that the machine was transported by the waiting edict, which was really unrespectful."

Tao Shiqi said proudly: "Not only what I shipped, it was made by me. So after shipped, I also had to take someone to install it there. I had to install it well before I could leave, otherwise I would miss the wool season this year."

When Wang Pu heard this, he was shocked and said for a while: "It turns out that Guanzhao has such ability and can make a machine. It's really amazing! I wonder what this machine looks like and what are the benefits?"

Tao Shiqi thought for a while and said, "The appearance of a machine is the appearance of a machine. It is hard to say what it looks like. As for the benefits, there are countless. The first one is that there are few people, but more wool is processed, more yarn is spinned, and more woven cloth is woven. The second one is that the yarn is spinned and the cloth is woven very stable. What is the previous batch and the next batch is still the same, but it is different from what is spinned by manual. Just these two pieces are amazing, and the people of Shengzhou have a drink bowl."

Wang Pudao: "I have seen people in the Volcano Army before. The people there spin and weave cloth. Your family makes this and that. They are very attentive and fast. In the past, our tribe also weaves cloth and feels, but they can't do that. In recent years, no one in the tribe has weaved cloth and felts anymore, and they sell wool to the Volcano Army. Will the factories in Shengzhou do these things with machines better than the Volcano Army?"

Tao Shiqi heard this and said with a smile: "How can the Volcano Army compare with the Shengzhou factory? When the factory is opened here, all the households in the Volcano Army who do this industry can't compare to this place! How can labor and work harder than machines?"

Wang Pu poured tea to Tao Shiqi and said, "After listening to what the auditor said, will you be short of wool in the future? How much wool can be collected in the factory? Although the Volcanic Army is well-made, it is meaningless to sell wool in the distance there."

Tao Shiqi nodded: "That's natural. In the future, the wool on the entire Hequ Road may not be enough for Shengzhou to use. Those who are grazed around can also sell wool here. According to the scriptures, as long as the railway leads to, any wool can be sold here."

A factory with relatively primitive technology actually cannot absorb wool production within thousands of miles, especially around Hequ Road there are several prairie countable in the world. But the problem is that the population here is too small, with grasslands but not enough sheep. In many places, there are thousands of people within thousands of miles, and large areas of land are deserted.

There are excellent geographical conditions for grazing here, but there is no stable political environment, and it faces huge turmoil in decades. The wars in the Central Plains continued in the late Tang and Five Dynasties, and the surrounding nomadic peoples moved inward and participated in the competition. After the Central Plains stabilized, they migrated in large numbers from the Khitan and the Song Dynasty. After the rise of Dangxiang, they were expelled again, and a large number of uninhabited areas appeared.

The Zhuanglang tribe has thousands of tents, which is already the largest tribal force within thousands of miles, and is a local tyrant. If it were in the Central Plains, this population was only a small county, and it could only be considered a larger village in later generations. The situation in Hequ Road and surrounding areas actually had a large amount of resources but was not developed.

In the city of Shengzhou, the Yingtianxiang Army and the people who came from the city of Shengzhou were developed, and the industry and commerce were enough to absorb all the resources along the railway.

Wang Pu listened to Tao Shiqi introducing the future wool factory, just like listening to people talking about myths. He could not imagine that there would be such a thing in the world.

At the end, he said to Tao Shiqi: "I rented this shop and opened a restaurant here, thinking that I would have a profitable business from now on. But after hearing the audition, the price will be fine in the wool factory in the future. It is another way to make money. When I go home to herd sheep, collect the wool and sell it to the factory, maybe it will make more money than the restaurant here."

Tao Shiqi said: "If it is an ordinary restaurant, it's probably the case. You are different here. The shops are in the most lively place. There are crowds of people coming and going every day, so the money you earn is not good."

Wang Pu nodded repeatedly: "What the Attorney said is very much. To be honest, I grew up so old, and my family's ancestors passed down as the leader of the tribe. I have seen it before, but I haven't earned much in the past few days. Alas, I used to know that I worked hard to grazle cattle and sheep, and I covered my belly with three meals a day, which was a day I couldn't get. Until a few years ago, I knew that I could still go to Song to sell horses, which was a way to make money. After the first time I sold horses, I only had dozens of stakes of money. I put them on myself and kept my eyes open at night. I was afraid of stealing people and robbing them all the way. I was always thinking about what to buy for the tribe. That feeling was both frightened and full of joy, and I would never forget it in my life. Thinking about what I got money at that time, what should I buy? I only dare to buy some food, some salt, and drink a few sips of wine. No matter how good I am, I can't think of anything better. Compared with now, it's really two worlds!"

Tao Shiqi laughed: "The official has been a hard-working person since childhood. Although he is now well-developed, he still knows how to be frugal and is beyond the reach of others."

In fact, Wang Pu is also the leader no matter how he lives, and he can imagine how the people in other ordinary tribes are.

Seeing that it was getting late, Tao Shiqi stood up and said, "It's time for me to go back. If I have free time in the future, I will come to talk to the official in the future."

Wang Pu hurriedly got up, sent Tao Shiqi out of the door, and bowed and said, "Next time, I'll invite you to drink. Although the dishes in my store are not as exquisite as those of the restaurant opposite, they have their own characteristics. Come and try them."
