Great Qin Shihuang can hear my heart

Li Lin at this time.

No idea how popular he was with the Huns.

Since the paper he made was sold to the Xiongnu from the hands of Daqin merchants, the Xiongnu nobles loved this extremely smooth and extremely white paper.

They were already in the habit of using paper.

What started out as parchment scrolls was later refined into parchment paper.

But parchment is expensive, and the cost of making one sheet is almost equivalent to making thousands of sheets of low-grade paper.

Over time, parchment became a symbol of the Xiongnu nobles.

Nowadays, Li Lin's ordinary low-grade paper is resold to the Xiongnu. No matter how much the merchants along the way increase the price, it is only one hundred yuan a piece. Compared with the parchment, it is like heaven and earth.

The high-quality and cheap paper quickly opened up the consumer market of the Huns.

And Li Lin's name also went deep into the hearts of the Huns.

It is even regarded as a god-like existence by many people.

Even the high priest believed that the person who led the Huns to power in the prophecy of the Changshengtian God would be the never-masked Li Lin.

"Prime Minister Li, what do you think of the leg of lamb?"

"This leg of lamb is grilled over charcoal, right? It tastes a bit stinky, but it's not fishy. The meat is soft and glutinous, and the taste is too woody. It seems that the fresh lamb has no time to marinate to remove the fishy smell, so it is grilled directly on charcoal, right? ?”

"Li Xiangzhen is a man of gods. You guessed right. This mutton was prepared just now. Due to time constraints, it was too late to remove the mutton, so we had to increase some seasonings to cover up the smell."

"Haha, in fact, such fresh and tender mutton really does not need to be mutton. Although your method is very sophisticated, for this kind of fresh mutton, charcoal grilling is a bit too hasty. It should be deep-fried until the surface is golden. Sprinkle with salt and koji, so that it can enhance the taste and fragrance, but will not lose the tenderness of the meat because of the strong taste."

As a gourmet, Li Lin has studied food very well.

This kind of pure natural and pollution-free mutton is so charcoal-grilled and turned into a pitch-black mass. It is too wasteful. He feels a little sorry, but it tastes good, but it is a little old.

"I didn't expect Li to have such a research on food, I admire it!"

The identities of this group of accompanying people are not ordinary.

Meng Tian felt a headache when everyone's name was spoken out.

But at this time, like a pug, he carefully served Li Lin to eat charcoal-grilled mutton.

If Meng Tian found out, he would be so angry that he vomited blood for three liters, right?

Chapter 158

"Is that Li Xiang from Daqin?"

Mao Dun hurriedly opened the tent door, looked around with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and suddenly looked at the young and handsome Li Lin sitting in the middle of the crowd.

At the moment, I was a little curious and approached.

"Is your Excellency Li Xiang?"

"you are?"

Li Lin couldn't quite understand what he said. His Chinese was a bit broken, but it didn't mean that there were no accompanying translators around.

"Li Xiang, this is Master Shanyu Modun from the Huns. Shan Yu, this is Li Xiang from the Great Qin Dynasty!"

"So young!"

Mao Dun's first impression of Li Lin was that this man was too young, almost like a child.

It made him a little curious, is such a young man really the legendary Li Lin deity?

Isn't it too young?

"Shan Yu is also very young. The truth is, he is 20 years older this year, but due to family reasons, he has not had time to be crowned, so he is dressed as a child. Please forgive me, Lord Shan Yu."

"Li Xiang is being polite. The visitor is a guest. How can you entertain Li Xiang with a full-year-old lamb? It's so uninteresting. Come here, butcher a cow, an adult lamb, and a lamb. The horse, a donkey, ordered the kitchen to cook as soon as possible, and by the way, informed the other chiefs in the tribe to come to the big tent together to welcome Li Xiang!"

"Sir Shanyu, is this too much to mobilize the crowd?"

"Hu Yanling, what did you say? Ben Chanyu didn't hear it, so please say it again!"

"Master Shanyu, I'll report this little one!"

"Humph!"

Mao Dun seemed to show no face to these immovable subordinates.

Li Lin saw it.

We can have some understanding of the general situation of the Huns.

Although Maodun Chanyu at this time was patricide, he killed his father Tou Manchanyu under the support of his cronies. Of course, this originally happened in the first year of Qin II.

Unexpectedly, it was three years earlier, which caught Li Lin by surprise, and the integration of the Huns was also advanced three years.

But this also led to the formation of factions within the Huns,

It was completely different from the situation when Touman Shanyu went against the grain and killed many established forces three years later.

For Mouton, the situation is even more difficult.

Fortunately, the Da Yuezhi and Donghu and other surrounding countries or tribes harassed them before, causing internal conflicts among the Xiongnu to be sharp, but under external threats, they temporarily obeyed the orders of Modu.

After eliminating the external threat, Daqin became the last threat. At this time, Meng Tian was under great pressure.

But it is the stage with the least pressure at the same time.

Because of various conflicts within the Xiongnu, Meng Tian took advantage of his strength to keep the Xiongnu in Mobei, so that even if they went south, they could not cross the Great Wall too far.

Otherwise, once the logistics line is cut off by Meng Tian, ​​the Xiongnu cavalry who crossed the Great Wall will become wandering soldiers and be easily wiped out.

Right now, this Maodu order is a microcosm.

Li Lin saw the little knowledge, and his heart was like a mirror. Before he came, he did a rough study of the situation of the Huns.

The Xiongnu had a total of more than 700 tribes.

Later, after Toumandanyu's merger of tribes in the early years and the damage of foreign wars, there are now [-] small tribes and four large tribes left.

Among them, Mouton mastered two, and the other two adopted a joint approach to resist the dominance of Mouton's family.

This is also the reason why Maodun is currently unable to concentrate superior forces to break through the Great Wall.
