"Ordinary Mongolians drink tea just because they eat too much meat and need to drink tea to help digestion. They actually don't care about the quality of tea, as long as the tea is strong, it's fine. We pick out tea stems and can sell them at a lower price. As for the Kang family, who has obtained the right to operate the market, I have to find a way to make him collapse soon!" Li Guodong called Wang Quan aside and said.

"Does we still need to transport the food?" Wang Quan asked.

"The grain does not need to be transported for the time being. Our price is low, and it will be in vain after being transported for free. Let's leave it in your business first. Also, salt is temporarily stored, so there is no need to send it. You can go back to the city with me first, and we sell some good things that others don't have to the Chahar people. That's a rare item."

The caravan packed the tea stems and put them into a sack. Li Guodong asked him to put spices such as cumin, pepper, cinnamon, star anise, and so on into the bag and take them away.

Li Guodong led a caravan with almost empty cars out of the Hukou. When he arrived by the Rabbit Fur River, Li Guodong asked the caravans, livestock and vehicles to get on the large raft that came to pick them up and went down the river.

When a city appeared by the river in front of the river, Li Guodong turned to the brothers in the caravan and shouted: "Brothers, we have arrived home! This is our home outside the border."

The Ming flag fluttered on the walled city, proving that it was a walled city of the Ming army.

When the caravan entered the city, Li Guodong asked someone to move the tea stems, cinnamon and star anise into the city.

The peppers planted in spring have been harvested, and He Xiuying is taking the women in the city to pound the peppers into powder. In order to avoid the irritating smell of peppers when pounding the powder, every female worker is wearing a mask, holding a pounding pestle in her hand, and grinding the peppers placed in the stone mortar into powder.

"Match the cinnamon and star anise into powder." Li Guodong said, pointing to the goods moving into the room.

In order to make the appearance, the tea stems need to be cut into small pieces. Li Guodong directed the people in the city to chop all the tea stems with the cutting table he made himself.

After preparing to sell tea and spices to Chahar people, Li Guodong also brought the honeycomb coal stove and honeycomb coal produced in the city. The honeycomb coal is a coal block transported from Shanxi and is processed and made.

Except for some of the honeycomb coal stoves that are left in the city for their own use, the other honeycomb coal stoves will be transported to the Chahar people for sale. This furnace is a furnace core made of clay, filled with loess, which can isolate heat energy and is very energy-saving to use. There is also a chimney above the honeycomb coal stove, which can discharge carbon monoxide outdoors and avoid poisoning.

Coal was used in those days, but why charcoal is still used for heating in winter? It is because the smell of coal is particularly choking and it is easy to be fumigated. In fact, it is a matter of death from carbon monoxide poisoning.

Another rare product of Li Guodong is knitted sweaters. At this time, he already had two wool spinning machines. The washed wool was dried, and then spun it into wool with a wool spinning machine, and then knitted it into sweaters by knitting. Basically, as long as a woman who knows how to knit cloth, she can simply learn how to knit sweaters. However, the hand-knit speed is relatively slow, and it takes a person three to five days to knit a sweater. There are currently more than 2,000 female relatives in the city, of which 1,500 people have learned to knit sweaters. After the wool was produced, 1,500 female workers started to knit sweaters and knitted more than 4,000 sweaters in half a month.

"We can only make money by selling these things. Otherwise, the price of rewards in the imperial court is too low. If we lower the price, we may lose all our money." Li Guodong pointed to the goods that were about to load the truck.

The caravan full of cargo left the Shabeigou Castle and embarked on a journey to Guihua City.

White yurts can be seen on the grassland ahead, which is close to the naturalized city.

During the Jisi Incident, the Later Jin invaded the Ming Dynasty, but Lin Danhan took the opportunity to deal with the disobedient Tumot tribe. The Jin army went deep into the capital of the Ming Dynasty at that time and did not care about protecting the Tumot tribe. As a result, Lin Danhan conquered Guihua City.

The Tumots who lost their naturalization were like stray dogs, fleeing and even Omubuhan almost fled to the north of Mobei.

Lin Danhan occupied Guihua City. At this time, he sat comfortably in the golden tent in the city. The golden tent in Guihua City was named Jinguan, but in fact it was a royal palace. The Mongolian grassland in October was already a little cold, but the underground in the royal palace was burning with ground dragons, and the hall was as warm as spring.

"This Guihua City is such a good place!" Lin Danhan said to himself while tasting a glass of Chinese wine.

"Report to the Khan! A Han caravan has come to naturalize!" A Mongolian warrior walked into the hall and knelt on his feet to report to Lin Dankhan.

"Cargoon? Now the Ming Dynasty Kaixikou City rewards our Chahar tribe. What cheap food, tea and salt cannot be bought? Why is there a caravan that comes to you by yourself?" Lin Danhan said in a strange way.

The Bushi said, "Da Khan, the leader of this caravan is no one else, but our old acquaintance, it is Li Laoer. He said that he would bring us some unique goods, which are absolutely impossible for the caravans in Daming City to provide."

Lin Danhan said oh, nodded slightly: "Then let them enter the city. No, let Li Laoer come to the palace. I want to see with my own eyes what's special about his goods."

Li Guodong led the caravan into Guihua City. This was the second time he came to Naturalization in this era. When he first came, he was still young and his memory had faded. Looking back on his previous life, he had visited Hohhot, which was a modern big city. But Naturalization in this era is not larger than a county town in the Ming Dynasty. The outer wall of Guihua City was four miles long, and the inner wall was only two miles long, which means that one side was only half a mile long, less than a hundred feet long. This is a very small city.

The Mongolians in the city did not show any expectation for the arrival of the caravan. It was obvious that because of the low-priced market rewards, the Chahars could obtain cheap food, salt and tea from the Ming Dynasty. And if you come from a caravan with goods, the price is cheaper than the goods of the caravans in Xikou City? The caravans in the city rewards are of some compensation from the Ming Dynasty. The caravans were originally purchased at an extremely low price, and the profits of selling to the Mongolians were not high, so the price was much cheaper than any caravan. Generally, the price was only half the price of other caravans, or even lower.

"General Li, Khan invites you to the palace, please come with us." Several guards from the golden tent walked up to Li Guodong, saluted the leader and made a gesture of invitation.

Li Guodong followed Lin Danhan's golden tent guard into the palace. After entering the palace, he realized that he did not expect that there was a magnificent palace in this small town on the Mongolian grassland. There were rockery pools, pavilions and towers in the palace. The hall looked like a condensed pocket version of the Palace of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City.
