As he said that, he took a sip first, but he felt the hot mouth was hot. A hot line straight down his chest, abdomen, nose, eyebrows, and eyes curled up. After a while, he calmed down, and gently sniffed out a sip of alcohol, and praised repeatedly: "It's so strong, so spicy."

This high-altitude wine was sent to Xu Qilin for testing the purity a few days ago. Xu Qilin didn't like drinking strong wine, so he just poured some and lit it with fire to test it.

In his impression, it can generally be called bitter and cold places, such as the north of the desert and the northeast, and it seems that high-altitude wine is more favored. If this is the case, it is also an economic means to control the nomadic peoples.

After Li Simo praised him, he drank it in one sip, closed his eyes slightly, and exhaled with alcohol, with a painful and refreshing expression.

Li Wuzhong was very curious. He stared at the bottle and wanted to drink it but was afraid that his father would scold him, and was afraid that he would be rude in front of Xu Qilin.

Xu Qilin smiled, poured a small glass for Li Wuzhong, and said, "We are young, so we can't drink too much of this wine."

Li Wuzhong smiled and nodded, "Save it, I can save it."

The dishes were delicious and the spirits were entertaining. Li Simo and his son ate and drank happily. Although Li Wuzhong drank less strong liquor, he also had sweet rice wine. He didn't have much time, so he blushed and his neck was thick, and he started talking too much.

"The good horses are all selected by someone themselves, and they are tamed more gentle." Li Wuzhong burped, ignored his father's annoyed eyes, and said with a foolish smile: "I was originally close to me, but I wanted to send my mount to Brother Xu, but this beast is so strong that it is difficult for a stranger to surrender."

Li Simo hurriedly said, "Xu Xiaolang is in the capital, and his gentle horse is convenient to ride."

Xu Qilin didn't care about the contempt in Li Wuzhong's words, and smiled and said, "I know the kindness of the prince and brother Wuzhong, and I understand it. If I talk about riding skills, I am indeed not very skilled, so I must have surrendered the BMW that cannot be defeated by brother Wuzhong."

Li Wuzhong saw his father's eyes and realized in a daze that he might be inappropriate. He hurriedly remedy: "Brother Xu will go and see, and you will know that it is not a lie. That horse is really strong."

Xu Qilin didn't care about this, nor did he expect a good horse, so he said, "Brother Wu Zhong is convinced. The prince is right, and riding a fierce horse in the capital is not suitable. Brother Wu Zhong rides and gallops across the vast grasslands, which is also the luck of the horse."

Li Wuzhong gave up after hearing this.

Li Simo asked indirectly, wondering what method Xu Qilin said yesterday.

According to His Majesty Li Er's instructions, Xu Qilin only said that it was still in the experiment. If it was successful, the court would implement it, which would be beneficial to Li Simo and was also related to the major plan of crossing the river and north.

Although Li Simo wanted to know the details, Xu Qilin had already said this and he couldn't continue to ask. The policies and plans related to the court were kept confidential, so how could he inquire about it?

After the meal and the meal, Xu Qilin kept Li Simo and his son sitting leisurely for a while.

The servants brought tea, but Li Simo and his son didn't taste anything, but Xu Qilin praised the benefits of tea. What eliminates greasy, dissolves fat, and drinking tea regularly is equivalent to using fresh vegetables, etc.

In fact, according to later generations, nomadic peoples mainly use meat and milk food, so they had to drink tea to help digestion. Without tea, they could not survive. However, it was not true in the Han and Tang Dynasties.

Think about it, even the Tang people were not used to drinking tea, let alone the nomadic people. What are milk tea and butter tea? It should be the case in the Later Tang Dynasty and even the Song Dynasty.

Of course, tea is indeed a good thing, and Xu Qilin did not fool him. But his real purpose was to make nomadic people more products that depend on the Central Plains dynasty and more restrictive factors.

At that time, the biggest demand for nomadic people was silk cloth. The Central Plains dynasty also used this as a hard currency, exchanged cattle, sheep, and horses, or bribed certain tribes, and then used it as a reward and thanks.

In other words, not all nomadic tribes can exchange cattle and horses for the needed materials from the Central Plains dynasty, or the current Tang Dynasty.

The reason is very simple. The Tang Dynasty was not very short of horses. Even if it was lacking cattle and horses, the Central Plains dynasty could be maintained, with at most arable land slower and less cavalry.

But if nomadic peoples do not have silk cloth, iron pots, needles and thread, they will be miserable.

For example, the Ming Dynasty's material blockade on Mongolian tribes in history forced them to return to a single and fragile nomadic economy, which put the lives of the Mongolians into great difficulties.

Because of the lack of cloth, silk and satin, the Mongolians "have no clothes and furs, and the summer heat will not be hot"; without an iron pot, "the raw pot will be destroyed, and all the tricks will be made to make up for leaks, and they have to eat with the skin, water, and boil meat."

Our ancestors have long started to use the materials used by nomadic peoples or trade wars called later generations. Building the Great Wall is likely to have such a role to prevent merchants from smuggling for profit.

In short, in terms of trade, the Central Plains dynasty has always relied on developed science and technology, handicrafts, and relatively stable agriculture to crush the nomadic peoples.

In the Han and Tang dynasties and before, the Central Plains dynasties traded cloth and iron, which also depends on whether your attitude was respectful. After the Song Dynasty, tea became the most important material, that is, tea and horse market.

A place where you live in warm winter and cool summer, fresh and delicious dishes, high wine that resists bitter and cold environments, and tea that can digest food and relieve greasiness. On the surface that seems hospitable and enthusiastic, Xu Qilin shot out cannonballs one by one, which are corroded quietly.

Resist corrosion and never touch. It does not exist and cannot be possible.

It is human nature to yearn for a better life. As long as conditions allow, who is willing to eat braised vegetables and who is willing to sleep in the open?

After hearing Xu Qilin's big foolishness, Li Simo felt that the tea in her mouth tasted strange, and her stomach felt very warm and comfortable.

"When drinking tea in summer, you will feel hot at first, and after drinking it, you will know that it is cool and comfortable, and the thirst is completely gone." Xu Qilin said with a smile: "And tea also has the magical effect of soothing the spirit and eliminating fatigue."

Li Simo sighed in his heart: This is life and enjoyment. As a prince, he is absolutely incomparable. Looking at the tribal nobles below, even if they eat meat every day, they are all local buns.

Well, you have to learn this and learn it well. Not to mention the things you enjoy, even if you take out this set, it will make the local buns stunned and feel ashamed.

Li Simo felt that his level had risen and his thoughts had sublimated. Only in this way can he be more and more like the Tang people and more accepted, right?

There is also Shi Zhong, who has been in Chang'an City for so long, and Bai married some county lord. Compared with Xu Qilin, he is still a country bumpkin.
