A new condiment that cannot be understood and accepted by people is not much easier to become popular than a foreign religion that truly enters people's hearts. When you bring something for granted to this era when you can't keep up with your ideology or even be understood by you, you will either suddenly turn the tide, or die lonely and unknown.

When everyone looked at the red and dried peppers that were originally used to grow barley, Brand's heart was almost bleeding. He knew what the barley harvested from the cooked fields meant to a family. It was very likely that the food for a family of three had been squandering food for half a year. After all the barley in other fields reduced their yields this year, farmers did not scold Brand for occupying cooked fields for this prodigal behavior. Compared with the sparse ears of grain in the surrounding barley fields, the output of peppers on the ground was much better.

The weather is colder every year, and the scalyptus in the fields are all over the east and west, and it seems like they have been gnawed by dogs. This is the area where the water and grasses are abundant in the past few years, and those originally barren areas have long been bare. The supply of forage is insufficient, and many thin lambs are slaughtered before they can be slaughtered. Looking at the sparse cattle, sheep and horses around, everyone's heart is covered with a cloud of sorrow.

Now, with the continuous influx of foreign populations, Wu Yonglin has a pseudo-prosperous state of what Wu Yonglin calls the "bubble economy". It seems that everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, everyone has food to eat, and everyone has something to do, but they don't know that once the things they produce begin to be unsalable, they will be linked one after another until they find that the food they eat begins to rise in price, and finally find that some people produce nothing in their hands. Wu Yonglin knows very clearly that no matter how capable a person has, in the face of the uncertain nature, and many years of root problems, it is simply a fool to get rid of this predicament without decades of qi and blood, and this can only be achieved on a relatively peaceful era, and the people who have survived on the land under their feet are only pain, disease, hunger, and war.

Over the past hundred years, after the Yusilu regime in the Hehuang region began to decline in Qinghai, the original Tubo family was born, and the mature households were swaying between the Western Yi and the Wei Dynasty. Therefore, the rebellion of the residents of the northwest border border directly affected the peace, stability and national security of the Wei Dynasty. Many familiar households in the Hehuang Tubo family were under the influence of the combination of favor and power of the Wei Dynasty, but they would rebel when there was any disturbance. For example, the improper handling of border officials, the plunder of their living resources, the influence of the Tubo family's habit of being honored, or the leash of Western Yi, could cause them to rebel, and the plunder of border towns and villages occurred from time to time. The numerous family members who had not yet been under the jurisdiction of the Wei Dynasty often plundered the Wei Dynasty for their own interests, or were tempted and coerced by the Western Yi to become border troubles of the Wei Dynasty.

During the Qingli period, due to the need for the war in Weixi, the number of troops in the Wei Dynasty expanded sharply, with a total number of troops reaching 1259,000. "The Fuyan Road station stationed 68,000 troops, Huanqing Road station 50,000, Jingyuan Road, and Qinfeng Road station 27,000." The regular army and imperial guards on the border of Shaanxi alone reached 215,000, and there were also a large number of xiang army, infantry, foreign soldiers, archers, etc. The Xihe River opened its borders. After several years of operation, by the sixth year of Xining (1073), the Xi, He, Tao, Min, Die, Dang and other states were recovered, with a territory of more than 2,000 miles, and more than 199,000 foreign troops were captured, and more than 300,000 tents of the big and small Fan tribes were recruited. Until Wu Yonglin settled his home in Gangcha City, the richer areas in the Hehuang area were basically in the hands of the Wei Dynasty army.

The Wei Dynasty has repeatedly used troops to the Hehuang region over the years, and the population has decreased sharply. Coupled with the increasing frequent natural disasters, the Hehuang region, which was originally dominated by animal husbandry, has become more barren and unbearable for bandits. Wu Yonglin has been running around for more than a year. Although Yue Fei has emptied the treasure house of two treasures in Lusie City and Yulong Seventy-Two Peaks, the only animal husbandry industry relies entirely on the weather for food. Now it is almost impossible to solve the problem of food for everyone if you want to be self-sufficient. More often, you still have to buy some food from the surrounding Western Yi, Wei Dynasty, and Dali to temporarily prevent everyone from hungering. Wu Yonglin originally wanted to go to Dali.

After joining the line with Duan Heyu in Dali, the problem of food and tea that was pinched to the throat of life by the merchants of the Wei Dynasty was changed. Unfortunately, due to Duan Zhengchun's incident, Duan Heyu temporarily had a feud with Wu Yonglin. The original plan of communicating trade routes between the two sides was forced to stand. Dali is now trapped in the quagmire of war, and there are big problems with self-sufficiency. The Western Yi, which is also dominated by animal husbandry, also had serious problems in their supply lines this year due to the influence of climate and war. Xiao Zhijun had to abide by the border generals' actions to thresh grass on the northern border of Wei Dynasty. The land bordering the Western Yi Dynasty and the Western Yi has been in full swing.

In addition to the few barley planted by Gangchacheng, some of the cattle and sheep raised in Gangchacheng need to be exchanged with the smuggling merchants from Weichao to solve the urgent problem. Wu Yonglin has actually put most of his hopes on the business road to Chengdu that Yan Ping quietly opened up.

The prosperous Chengdu Plain has always been known as the country of Tianfu. It is surrounded by mountains and is affected by cold air and has a very mild climate. Since the Dujiangyan Water Conservancy Project built by Li Bing and his son solved the flood problem in the Chengdu Plain, it has long become a leisurely place for living. During the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang founded there, and later relied on the self-producing and self-sufficient land in the fertile land of the Bashu region and Cao Cao and Sun Quan. In addition, Li Bai also said in "The Road of Shu" that "the road of Shu is difficult to reach the sky". In fact, this also indirectly reflects another problem. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Chengdu is actually the only choice for Wu Yonglin to settle down in the next stage.

Wu Yonglin did not have the plan to defeat the Qingtang City where Wang Hou was located, but doing so would inevitably make the situation between the two sides of Wei and Fan who finally eased up again. Now that the increasingly bloated Gangcha City needs a private businessman to give blood transfusions from Wei Chao. This fight not only revealed his true strength, but also his unweaned child is likely to be asking for trouble. In the end, he may be dragged to death due to the issue of war supplies. Therefore, the strategy he is still using is to strictly guard against and take a different approach and wait and see what he changes.

A team of carriages dragging food were gathered among the bustling crowds to welcome him. Yan Ping, who was exhausted, couldn't hide the joy on his face when he saw Wu Yonglin. He ran to Wu Yonglin happily and asked excitedly: "Big shopkeeper, are the peppers grown this year still there?"

"Um?"

"The shopkeeper is the one you sold chili peppers. Chengdu oil-splashed chili is almost crazy. Now it is in short supply. The truckloads of grain from my businessmen gave me in advance. He said that we have as much oil-splashed chili as they want."
