Poor family mother and son

Chapter 153 Tu Huerte
"Master Chu, Mr. Song said, you sell it first, and you can settle the bill with the state government after you go back!"

"Ah? Do you need money?" Chu Qing finally stopped laughing.

"Ah?" The Secret Investigation Division boy never expected that Master Chu would still have such a time when he didn't want that.

"That's fine, I know. Sigh, talking about money hurts feelings!" Chu Qing dismissed the boy, "You don't have to go back, come with my motorcade, and take you to play!"

Along with the convoy came a steward from Song Tingshan's family. The steward was sent by Mrs. Song to help secure the goods, and to bring some clothes and snacks for Chu Qing and Xiaobao.

Fans, wherever your idols go, you have to support them.

Chu Qing chose a few jewelry and daggers from the local herdsmen for the housekeeper to take back to express his gratitude.

When the butler went back and explained the process of meeting Chu Qing with the master and wife, Song Tingshan laughed and scolded: "It's still 'talking about money hurts feelings!' Is it worthless for her to be those things? This woman!"

Kyoto, Imperial Study Room.

"Where is that Chuqing...?" the emperor asked.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Tu Huerte is coming soon." Hu Hengqiu replied.

"You guys have a lot of tricks, huh?" The emperor squinted at Hu Hengqiu.

"Look at what you said, Your Majesty, isn't this a favor from you!"

"Hmph, pay for the goods first, she doesn't deal with tricky business, but you guys help her pull out the thorns first."

"Your majesty is wise! But even if these things are confiscated, don't you have to ask the Ministry of Households to auction them off? Then you won't get much money back. Why don't you ask Chu Qing to take it." Hu Hengqiu said carefully.

He explained everything to the emperor about the actions of the secret investigation department, but this time there was a sense of "strike first and play later", so he had to be careful not to let the emperor get too attached.

Emperor Qingde immediately felt happy when he thought about the 160 thoroughbred horses sent by Chu Qing: "Well, it makes sense. I hope that Chu Qing can make good use of these goods." Send me something.

"Your majesty, why do you always say 'that Chuqing'? Who else is Chuqing?" Hu Hengqiu saw that the emperor had "turned from cloudy to sunny", and became more energetic.

"Huh?" The emperor gave him a supercilious look.

"Oh, that is clear, it makes sense!"

Hu Hengqiu was the only one who could talk poorly with the emperor.Even Eunuch Li envied this point.

………………

Voss Meadows.

"The white dragon horse, the hooves are fast, carrying the big beautiful woman, and his three younger brothers!" Chu Qing looked at the large motorcade he had expanded in an instant, and couldn't help humming a song in his heart.

"Mother! I'm so inferior!" Sitting in front of Chu Qing, Xiao Bao reminded.

Alas, no matter how young you are, you are still an ancient person, how can you understand my happiness?Chu Qing thought to herself.

In order to inquire about news and explore the route conveniently, Chu Qing's convoy stopped and stopped, and it took more than ten days to reach Tu Huerte's boundary.

It's easy to see the boundaries of Tu Huerte because of the long, long rammed earth walls and the huge river in the distance.

The land here is yellow, no, this is not land, it is desert.

The endless desert, the slowly flowing river, and the standing Populus euphratica, under the sunshine, are really a beautiful painting!
Deserts, rivers, Populus euphratica, and lakes are particularly harmonious here.If you ride a camel here to watch the sea of ​​sand, enjoy populus euphratica grilled fatty fish... that is also a very pleasant life.

Zhandui was hired by Chu Qing to follow the caravan as a guide. He said that this river is called "Zhirong River", which is formed by the melting of snow on the Yujing Mountains and Baishan Mountains.

The whole Tuhuerte is surrounded by Yujing Mountains and Baishan Mountains, which is a big basin.The entire basin is basically the Gobi Desert.Only the oasis around the edge is planted with cotton.

"No wonder! No wonder I saw a camel on the road." Chu Qing said.

"Tuhuerte has raised a lot of camels." Zhandui said, "If you want to go inside, you have to change camels. They have a place here to foster horses and rent camels, but it costs money."

"Well, is it expensive?"

"Expensive! We usually come here on horseback. We buy things and leave overnight. We never spend money to stay here."

"What else do they grow besides cotton?"

"There is still wheat, but not much. There are melons, which should be available this month. They are very sweet! When the wool is sheared in autumn, the apples here are also ripe, red, crunchy and sweet, good I ate a lot! It’s just too little.” Zhandui’s tone was both yearning and regretful.

"They still grow apples?"

"It's not planted, it's wild on the Baishan Mountain."

As the caravan walked along the way, Chu Qing saw a large area of ​​cotton fields, which were unattended.When I got closer and took a closer look, I found that many cotton seedlings had grown cotton bollworms.If this continues, so many cotton seedlings will be useless!
"Why is there no one here?" Chu Qing asked.

"I guess I went fishing."

"Fishing?" For people living in the desert, fishing is really contradictory and harmonious.

"Yes, there are fish in the Zhirong River. They were originally a fishing people, but they started growing cotton a dozen generations ago. If the king asked for a lot of cotton every year, they would not grow these things. "

"Then they don't wear clothes?"

"Wear. Look around the river, there are populus euphratica forests, and there are a lot of wild hemp in the forest. They use that to make clothes."

"Show me, what kind of wild hemp is it?" Chu Qing said.

Could this thing be the "tea flower" in memory?
A group of people walked to the Populus euphratica forest.In the emerald green Populus euphratica forest, the wild hemp over one meter high grows wantonly, and the luxuriant pink flowers float on it. Walking among the wild hemp, Chu Qing feels as if half of his body is submerged in the sea of ​​pink flowers.

It really is "tea leaf flower", fairy grass!
Flowers can be used as essential oils, leaves can lower blood pressure, roots can remove edema, and stems can be used to make clothes. This thing is full of treasures!To get rich!Both of Chu Qing's eyes were in the shape of copper plates.

"Zhandui, I like this flower, can I get the seeds?" Chu Qing searched the ground, but couldn't find any old seeds, probably eaten by gerbils?

"I don't know, you can ask someone from the Tuhuerte tribe."

It doesn't matter, since we really can't find seeds, Chu Qing decided to propagate by rhizomes or divisions. This thing doesn't pick the soil, and can reproduce casually, with strong adaptability.

"Come on, let's go to the river to have a look." Chu Qing was eager to contact the locals.

The caravan has been traveling along the river, and finally saw the scene of local people fishing.There are half-grown children riding a canoe called "kapan" to spearfish in shallower waters; while many adult men cast nets to catch fish in deep waters.

Although it was far away, it could be seen that the fishing net was made of plants, and Chu Qing guessed that it should be made of the wild hemp they said.

The approach of the caravan caught their attention, and they rowed their canoes over.Chu Qing saw that there were already a lot of fish in their boats.

There are grass carp, carp, bighead carp and yellow-lipped carp.He is not small.

"Yah Simo!" a man shouted, waving towards the caravan.

"Yasimo" is Voss' common language, which means hello.

It's dusk now, Chu Qing and the others didn't eat well on the road, and seeing fish now, they really couldn't move.She opened her mouth and said, ""We want to buy your fish, okay? "

"Fish? Don't buy it, eat whatever you want!" Seeing so many people in the caravan, the man dared not cause trouble, so he said generously.

"Success, I'll exchange something for your fish!" Chu Qing was also proud.

The man's name is Amu Dong.He said that he was 60 years old, but apart from some wrinkles on his forehead and the corners of his eyes, his face was very plump, and he looked about forty or so.A fleshy face, a fleshy nose, big double eyelids, tall.
