Although he had only been away for half a year, the gap between Boxing County in front of him and Boxing County in Yeluqi's memory was too big. If it weren't for the people of his tribe who could see him along the way, he would almost think that he had come to the wrong place.

Although the original thatched huts were still there, no one lived there anymore. They were either built in sacrificial sheds for raising chickens and ducks, or they became places for the people to store grass.

Boxing County cannot grazed like before. Most of the livestock are kept in captivity, so there is no problem of transition. So storing forage in advance and waiting for winter is also a must. Now it is the season when everything is lush. Grass has been cut and grown one after another, which is a good time to reserve. Looking at the piles of forage, Yelu Qi inexplicably felt a sense of peace of mind.

Along the way, he saw more houses made of rammed earth, and the roof was no longer covered with thatch, but the blue-black tiles commonly seen in the Tang Dynasty. Under Tiele's guidance, he could see that there were blue smoke rising from a distance.

"That's a brick factory, a tile factory!" Tiele introduced. "Our entire tribe originally had more than 20,000 people. In the past six months, we have added hundreds of kids, and many women are pregnant again."

"It's very good, it's very good!" Before Tiele finished speaking, Yelu Qi nodded repeatedly. Rising population is a sign of the prosperity of a tribe. Over the years, the population of the Wandan tribe has been declining year by year, dying from old age and illness, dying from battle on the battlefield, and the death rate of infants is high. This has always been his most worrying thing. After moving to Boxing for more than half a year, he was naturally very happy.

Tiele smiled and continued, "The animals are kept in captivity, and now we don't need to mobilize too many people to go out for battle, so this man has more people. Some time ago, Lord Yang from Yixing Society came to inspect it, and built these brick factories, tile factories, and some of the extra labor. Some of them went to do this. These factories require a lot of strong labor."

"What should we do if the burned bricks and tiles are used by ourselves?" Yelu Qi felt a little extravagant.

"You have to get the moon before you get close to the water. Of course you have to use it yourself. But it's mainly for takeout." Tiele said: "The clan leader came from Wuyi. Haven't you heard that Wuweijie Town is going to build a new big city in Dezhou?"

Yelu Qi was stunned, thought hard, and finally remembered it, but at that time he thought it had nothing to do with him, so he didn't take it to heart. Only then did he realize that it was not only related, but also had a big relationship.

"Where are we selling the bricks and tiles we burn?" he said with great enthusiasm.

"Yes, how many people want!" Tiele said: "We have many big animals, so we burn them out and transport them there, making money from bricks and tiles on one side, and making money from transportation on the other side."

"We won't burn these things!" Yelu Qi said, "Is it the one sent by Lord Yang?"

"Yes, Yixing Society sent many masters, from building a cellar, making a umbrella, to firing, everything. Now these people have settled here. Many of us have also taken over as apprentices to learn craftsmanship!" Tiele smiled and said, "Originally, I just mentioned it by the way. I think those people are unwilling to teach their own skills. They don't want them to be very generous. As long as they are willing to learn, they are willing to teach."

It is always a good thing to be able to learn skills. Yelu Qi was also very happy: "We are not as rich as the Tang people here, so who are willing to settle here?"

"Class leader, you and I are also Tang people now!" Tie Le smiled.

"Yes, yes, now I am a Tang Dynasty person, and I am an official of the Tang Dynasty!" Yelu reacted and shook his official robe with a smile. "I originally wanted to ask for an official position for you, but Jie Shuai said that you have been awarded an official position, so I had to give up."

"Jingshou asked me to be the county magistrate of Boxing." Tiele smiled and said, "But it's a big deal, I'll still listen to the patriarch."

Yelu Qi waved his hand and said, "Do whatever you should do. I was held by Jieshuai for a month and listened to the lessons for a month, especially when I learned a lot about the law. Jieshuai has his own rules and regulations. The matters on the official side are those on the official side, and the tribe is those on the tribe, so you can't confuse them."

Tiele smiled and nodded. He said yes.

"Some Tang people naturally said they wanted to leave, but some people were willing to stay. The patriarch and some people married women from our tribe. It seems that they will not leave."

Siwandan asked about the number of women and few men, and these women could attract men from outside to settle in. Yelu Qi thought it was not bad, not to mention that these people are still people with skills.

"It's very good, very good." He nodded happily. "The Tang people who came to us were sent by Jieshuai to teach us all kinds of skills, and they are all capable people who can make us rich. If the women of our tribe can keep them, it would be a great thing. Tiele, you must support this matter."

"The patriarch and I have come together." Tiele said with a smile.

Rows of houses appeared in front of Yelu Qi. It was obvious that these brick-built houses were not for people to live in, because they built roofs with wooden shelves on them, and there was a large gap between the walls and the roof.

"Class leader, this is the livestock we raise in captivity, mainly sheep, and there are some pigs. Why don't the patriarch go and see it?" Shi Le took Yelu Qi straight to these houses.

The method of raising a captivity is very different from Yelu Qi's original perception. Sheep are locked in small cages, with food troughs and sinks in front of them. It is difficult to turn around.

"This is OK?"

"They said that these lambs are all meat lambs, and they raise them to eat meat. So, they should try to minimize their activities, let them eat, sleep, eat, and gain weight!" Tiele said: "In the past six months, the facts have proved this. These captive sheep do grow fatter and faster than the loose sheep."

While speaking, I saw some ancestral staff carrying baskets of fodder into the trough, while the other was carrying a large bucket and sprinkling some powdery things inside into the trough.

"This is wheat bran, and there are also bean peels and other products. If you feed them, they can grow better." Tiel introduced.

Yelu Qi took out a handful of wheat bran from the bucket and put it between his nose and sniffed it, looking moved, thinking that when he was outside his mouth, such wheat bran was eaten for people and war horses. Now they are all used to feed pigs and sheep.

"It would cost a lot of money to buy these?"

"I also opposed it earlier. After the people from Yixing Society settled the accounts for me, I felt that it was still a big profit. Now we came from the supply and marketing cooperative to make the accounts once a month. Anyway, we also have a lot of goods sold to them, and we can just reversal each other at that time." Mobile::

After walking out of these places where livestock were raised, Tiele pointed to another row of houses not far away and said, "There is a slaughterhouse, where our livestock will be slaughtered. Some of the fresh meat is supplied to the surrounding towns, and the other part is to make dried meat jerky as military rations."

"Class leader, where is the leather factory made of nitrogen? The leather we make is of good quality, and you can sell as much as you like."

"Class leader, where is the production factory for some hair such as wool? Next to him is the textile factory. Where can the wool be delivered to knit it into wool after it has been processed?"

From breeding, to slaughtering, and to the follow-up treatment of other residuals, in half a year, the Siwandan tribe has formed a complete industrial chain, one link after another, and each link can earn a lot of money for the tribe. This made Yelu Qi very moved. It turns out that making money is not just about raising sheep and cattle, but also about so many things. According to Tiele's introduction, what his tribe had in the past was only the bottom and the least profitable, but those who could really make a lot of money were all the things that were later accomplished.

"Jie Shuai told me before that clothes made from wool are profitable, and Ji Shuai also promised to share my dividends." He suddenly remembered his promise to him during his negotiations with Li Ze last year.

"Class leader, it's a wonderful thing to watch the wool that we didn't take seriously before, turning into wool threads, and then watching them turn into clothes." Tiele said: "But the most critical link in this is to deal with wool. We can't get involved. The people there are all controlled by the people from Yixing Society."

"It's okay, we have money to share it." Yelu Qi didn't care. "Did they make those clothes?"

"That's not. They handed us the woven thread and knitting clothes by our people." Tiele smiled and said, "Now the women of our tribe have all learned this technique. When they are fine, they knit clothes with two bamboo needles and a ball of thread. When they are made, they can make a lot of money. The key is that this is just something they do in their spare time and does not take up serious skills." At this point, Tiele looked at Yeluqi and laughed strangely: "Even your wife, she is knitting sweaters now. I guess when it gets cold this year, you can wear the sweaters knitted by your wife by yourself."

Hearing this, Yelu Qi couldn't help laughing.

"Class leader, there is no school in front of you." Tiele pointed to a house that was obviously much better than the surrounding houses. "This is the best house here. Where can children under ten years old enter school! There are several such schools in each of our four towns in Boxing, and the Yixing Society sent all good men with great knowledge!"

Speaking of studying, Yelu Qi had a headache and couldn't help but think of the pain he suffered in Wuwei Academy this month. "Can our wild boys stand that detention?"

"As children, they are extremely malleable. Those gentlemen are not only holding books, but also holding rulers. I think they are very fierce." Tiele said.
