After Tian Zong read the information, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
It had to be said that the Dangxiang clan suited his taste very well, and he didn't know why. He remembered that Yuntong County had accepted a group of Dangxiang people, and the martial spirit of these people was quite different.
If Hirohiro Nori were here, he would be bleeding.
Brother, we span thousands of miles, do you know how many fights we had on the road?
If there are only a few thousand people left, that would be awesome, right?
"Go and invite those people from the Dangxiang clan to me."
"promise!"
After Tian Zong spoke, his men immediately withdrew, and the maids began to prepare tea.
Ice-cold smoke billowed from the ice mirror, lowering the temperature of the entire hall.
Not long after, more than 20 people appeared at the door. Every one of them was dusty, and some of them had bags under their eyes that were about to fall off.
Among them, the leading woman was tall and beautiful, with messy hair.
The most strange thing is that the 20 to 30-year-old man has almost no hair on his head, and the hair on both sides is long and hanging down, which gives people a weird feeling.
Before anyone could come in, Tian Zong frowned, said a few words to the servants, then came down to the door and said.
"Everyone, is there something important?"
Chief Yeli nodded, looking a little tired.
"Of course there is something important!"
"Is that an emergency?"
Chief Yeli hesitated and bit his dry lips.
"It's not that urgent yet!"
The servant nodded slightly.
"Please go take a shower and change your clothes first. After washing your body, go to have a meal. When the meal is over, General Tian will meet you."
When they heard that they were being asked to wait for someone to take a bath, it was clear that they disliked being dirty, but when they heard that there was something to eat, these strong men were too embarrassed to say anything and looked at the Yeli clan leader eagerly.
Chief Yeli immediately showed an expression of joy.
Don't think that every ethnic group on the grassland doesn't like to take a bath. That's because the water resources in the grassland are scarce and the temperature is relatively cold. If you catch a cold while taking a bath, it can be life-threatening.
Although the water resources on the grassland are relatively scarce and the climate conditions are harsh, this does not mean that Dangxiang people do not like bathing.
They may not be able to bathe as frequently as the Central Plains people, but that doesn't mean they don't bathe.
On the grassland, water resources are very precious, and people need to make rational use of every drop of water.
In addition, the climate on the grassland is relatively cold and dry, and frequent bathing may make the skin more sensitive and dry.
For various reasons, they may not bathe frequently in their lives.
Of course, it would be perfect if we could find a water source near Yanzhi Mountain.
Chief Yeli nodded, and two servants, a man and a woman, led a group of people to take a bath.
Tian Zong was not like this before, but since he met Yang Qian, he has been paying more and more attention to personal hygiene.
Although the two were separated due to official duties, they often spoke on the phone. Especially after there were more merchants in Yuntong County, he paid more attention to hygiene.
In fact, it is amazing in Taihuang County. For merchants in the Central Plains, if you see a caravan that is relatively clean, it must be from a place under the jurisdiction of Yuntong County.
Other counties and cities under the imperial system may not be so clean.
The dirtiest people must be the people from the Western Regions. There is nothing they can do. It’s not that they don’t want to take a bath, but that the Western Regions themselves are short of water and don’t even have enough to drink. Why do they still want to take a bath?
Therefore, the public bathhouses here in Taihuang County are particularly popular.
Many merchants from Yuntong County came to open bathhouses.
As long as the venue is large and the sanitation is passed, the county magistrate's office will provide technical support.
For example, some bathhouses are opened by rivers. It is simple. They can directly generate hydropower and burn river water. The bathing water is directly discharged from another pipe into a canal. Such canals are usually connected to farmland, so there is no waste of water.
Of course, once you get technical support, the county magistrate's office will take a stake. It won't affect your business anyway. They will only provide technical support and maintenance.
As one of the top border guard generals under Yang Qian, Tian Zong enjoyed the most advanced technology.
When he saw the twenty or thirty people coming from the grassland, he finally understood the meaning of what the Marquis said.
What is civilization, what is civilization suppression, what is civilization difference, this is it!
When he saw these people, Tian Zong was really stunned, thinking that he had returned to the era of slash-and-burn farming.
Twenty or thirty strong men were taken to the bathroom in the military camp and began to clean themselves.
In the military camp, almost all soldiers carry a washbasin with towels, toothbrushes, toothpaste and soap.
After they arrived, the generals in the military camp were notified and specially opened a piece of the cheapest soap for each of them.
When these prairie people used soap, in an instant, the whole world changed in their eyes.
The neck, armpits and other places where dirt easily accumulates were all washed thoroughly, and the bath water was changed several times.
One third of the soap was used up abruptly.
Such a happy bath was something they had never experienced in their lives.
Anyway, they were not in a hurry, so they lay comfortably in the bathtub and didn't want to leave.
Chief Yeli was taken to the female military doctor's territory to take a bath.
After all the clothes were taken off, Chief Yeli frowned when he looked at the female military doctor next to him.
"Get out quickly, I want to take a shower."
The female military doctor looked at the fishy-smelling leather jacket in her hand speechlessly, and her whole body felt bad.
Holding back the discomfort, the female military doctor said, "I'm here to teach you how to use things!"
After saying that, the female military doctor immediately taught the Noli clan chief how to use toothbrushes, towels and soap.
Perhaps because she didn't know the woman's identity, the female military doctor walked out directly after giving her instructions.
Chief Yeli raised his slender, round legs and stepped into the barrel. He instantly felt a sense of relief, especially after three days of running.
I picked up the toothbrush and tried it, and sure enough, there was dried meat residue in the gaps between my teeth.
He picked up the soap and applied it all over his body, and immediately he started to rub noodles all over his body.
The leader of the Yeli tribe is very good-looking, and is considered pretty among the entire Dangxiang clan. It may be because he lives in the grassland and is busy as the leader of the tribe, so his skin is not very good.
When he was two pounds lighter, Chief Yeli reluctantly walked out of the barrel.
It had to be said that while the other tribesmen were still enjoying the comfort brought by the hot water, she was already considering the benefits of relying on the Xia Kingdom.
No, she has to stay here for a while before leaving to examine it carefully.
She had just arrived and saw good things like toothbrushes, toothpaste and soap, and she was slightly curious about Taihuang County.
After taking a bath and warming up for a while, Chief Yeli came to the door and signaled that he wanted to get dressed.
But when she received the clothes, she was a little confused.
"Where are my clothes?"
The female military doctor didn't have a good airway.
"Your clothes are too smelly. They have been cleaned. Please wear clothes from the Western Regions first."
Chief Yeli said displeased.
"You have to make it clear that I am the head of a clan of the Eighth Branch of the Party. Even if I use my clothes to clean them, don't you Central Plains people have clothes? What kind of clothes are these? This is a women's short shirt worn by the poor people in the Western Regions. "
The female military doctor was shocked. She didn't expect that the woman in front of her was actually the leader of a tribe, but why was she a woman?
The most important thing is that the name of the Dangxiang Clan sounds familiar, but I can't remember it at once.
"Sorry, we have regulations here. Foreigners are not allowed to wear Chinese clothes. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
Chief Yeli was shocked and silently put on the clothes on himself. Although they were worn by poor people, the clothes of people from the Western Regions were more colorful.
Don’t think that T-shirts were invented by modern people. In ancient times, there were already clothes similar to short-sleeved shirts, that is, the collars would be different.
After all, summer here is still very hot.
Chief Yeli didn't say anything on the surface, but actually she felt a little uneasy in her heart. She never expected that foreigners could not even wear clothes from the Central Plains in Taihuang County.
Seeing that she was okay, the female military doctor took her to the canteen of the military camp.
What is followed here is the standard of a modern canteen.
At this time, twenty or thirty party members who looked tough and dressed in colorful clothes immediately came to the Yeli clan leader, beat their fists on their chests and saluted.
"Clan leader!"
Chief Yeli nodded, looked at the two male and female servants who brought them here and asked.
"how to eat?"
The servant touched his nose and wanted to laugh, but he held it back.
He motioned them to pick up their plates, and then walked over like a modern canteen, and the cook scooped out food for them spoonfuls at a time.
Today's meal was good, it was stir-fried mutton slices and two vegetarian dishes.
This is the meal standard of Taihuang County. You can eat one day of meat and fish every three days. In addition to the three dishes, there is unlimited grain rice and an unlimited bowl of sweet and sour soup cooked by the doctor to relieve the heat.
The soup is still ice cold.
Of course, the premise is that no soldier or general can waste food as long as there is leftover food on the plate.
What awaits them is three days of hunger and confinement, during which they can only drink water.
However, no one has made this mistake so far. After all, it is already good to have enough to eat now.
The group of people were already hungry, so they filled the rice bowls, found a seat at random, and started to eat happily.
When there is too much food in your mouth, take a sip of the cooling soup and it will dry up again immediately.
Even Chief Yeli almost bit off his tongue after eating it.
Just kidding, people who only eat barbecue and stew will go crazy once they eat stir-fried vegetables.
This strike surface attacks directly according to the dimension.
Many people think that the people on the grasslands eat meat almost every day, but they are totally wrong.
Specifically, grassland areas are not suitable for the development of planting industry, but cereals such as millet, soybeans, quinoa, buckwheat, etc. can be grown in some places.
These grains are mainly cultivated on a small scale in suitable places and then eaten according to the weather. There are not many places where manual operation can be done.
Three days depends on hard work, seven points depends on God's will.
