Six years later.

The night sky is boundless, and the stars in it are shining brightly like sparkling diamonds on black velvet.

Lin Zisu felt as if she could pick a star if she stretched out her hand.

On a winter night on the prairie, the cold wind howled and the snow underfoot creaked.

Lin Zisu glanced at the red snow on the ground and ordered, "Stand guard and be alert at night!"

"Yes, Boss! Do you want to bury these bodies?" The tall man dressed like a bear asked with his head bent down.

Lin Zisu stepped on the hard ground and said, "Dig the frozen soil? Ha! Throw it far away. Don't leave it here to get in the way. Animals will naturally take care of it. The blood on the ground has been cleaned up!"

"Yes, we'll do it right away!" The tall man waved his hand and asked someone to handle it.

This summer, Lin Zisu celebrated her 19th birthday, and her brother Lin Xianwen celebrated his 21st birthday. Both of them are no longer the skinny and short bodies they were when they first came here.

The two of them were no longer the kind of people who would turn pale at the sight of blood, or be terrified when seeing a corpse, and would run away in panic, screaming wildly.

The two siblings' souls traveled back to ancient times for 8 years. Their bodies grew up, their souls matured, and their parents grew older.

However, each of them has achieved something in their own field, doing the work they like, and is busy, fulfilled and happy.

Lin Zisu was calculating in her mind whether she could get back before the New Year. She didn't want to spend the New Year away from home.

She walked into the yard and headed towards her old RV.

I got in the car, took off my bearskin coat and threw it on the sofa, washed my hands, poured myself a cup of brown sugar ginger tea and drank it slowly.

Lin Zisu came to the grassland alone with a large army. On the surface, they were a merchant caravan from the country doing business, but in fact they were using goods to establish contact with the various tribes on the grassland.

Now the He Kingdom has occupied the entire Dahuan Dynasty, nine-tenths of the land area. The cities along the coasts of the South China Sea, East China Sea, Yellow Sea, and Bohai Sea in the east are all the territory of the He Kingdom.

Prince Ning has been in retirement since he was captured. Prince Yi died first, then Prince Ling refused to surrender, and now only Prince Qi is left to survive.

He Zhaoyu is not in a hurry anyway, and has always been developing steadily. As long as his strength allows, there is no need to be anxious.

Lin Zisu took a ship from the East China Sea to the Bohai Sea, and then traveled by land to the prairie. The land route was really full of dangers.

Killing is as common as eating, and petty thieves such as theft and robbery are as numerous as cattle.

Even the tribes far away on the prairie have heard of the country. There are many good things in the country, such as white salt, fine tea, and easy-to-carry and very effective medicines.

No one can refuse a caravan from a foreign country. No one will refuse to eat free, fat meat. Everyone wants to take a bite.

Lin Zisu snorted in her heart, there is no free meat in the world. If you come to rob it, you must be able to take it away!

The news that the Heguo caravan had arrived on the grassland spread across the prairie like the wind.

This is a place where many tribes and ethnic groups live together. There is no logic and whoever has the stronger fist will be the king.

Every year, there are many casualties among the merchants and green army of the country.

These people really are unreasonable. If they need something, they will exchange it. If they can't exchange it, they will just rob it. This is their natural logic.

If they were short of servants, they would capture servants and use them; if they were short of women, they would go out and rob them and bring them back if they took a fancy to them; if they were short of supplies, they would rob caravans; in short, they would burn, kill, and loot, and whoever was stronger would get the survival resources.

These people were extremely fierce and they only did business with a few fixed merchants. They thought that "Han people were cunning" and would not trade with strange Han merchants even if their goods were cheaper than their regular sellers.

Once we have established contact with a tribe and there is a basis of trust, the country will do its best to maintain contact.

The next day, the sky was blue with white clouds and the ground was covered with white snow. It was as if nothing had happened and it was a new day.

The guide led the caravan out of the town and headed deep into the grassland.

The guide was a local, a strong man in his early 20s named Nadataya, who also gave himself a Han Chinese name: Zhang Caifu.

He is a man of quick brains, and taught himself the Chinese language and writing system, reaching the level of a beginner's class graduate.

When Lin Zisu heard Nadataya introduce himself for the first time, she almost failed to control her expression when she heard the Han Chinese name.

It is not easy to find tribes in the winter on the prairie. The cold is one reason, but there are also more dangers than in other seasons.

The country trades with foreign countries, including sugar, fine salt, seeds, medicines, cloth, daily necessities, food, etc. Don't even think about arms, minerals, etc. When it comes to mineral resources, the country is like a pixiu, it only takes in but not out.

The country already had military factories, so it had no shortage of common hot weapons and no need to save bullets. The country also focused on training a lot of technical talents for the country's use.

The ancients were not stupid. They were very smart and intelligent, but they did not have the favorable learning conditions that modern people have. The reason why modern people know more is that they are standing on the shoulders of giants.

The knowledge, experience, and technology from ancient times to the present have all been accumulated and passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors. Every great leap forward in human civilization is the result of the hard work of our ancestors.

Modern people’s knowledge and culture are all dividends left by their ancestors.

Lin Zisu looked at the snow outside and felt grateful that she had the RV. Otherwise, she would either open a shop or do clerical work and would not have been able to take risks.

Lin Zisu was driving, her mind racing, when she saw a group of people approaching on horseback on the thermal imaging map. A few minutes later, they stopped in front of the caravan.

Nadataya, the guide who was leading the way on horseback, hurried forward to communicate.

"Hey~ Isn't this Nadataya! Why are you acting as a lackey for foreigners again?" The tall and strong man, with a face full of angry beard like steel needles, spoke with white mist and spoke to Nadataya in a sarcastic tone.

Nadataya's eyes widened with anger, and he said in a rough voice: "I don't care what happens! I am willing to be a lackey for the country! At least I have food to eat, clothes to wear, and medicine to treat my illness! I won't get smallpox and be burned to death! I live longer than you and live better than you! No one wants you to be a lackey!"

The tall and strong man yelled angrily: "We grassland men will not be dogs of foreigners! You are not a grassland man, you are a running dog of the Central Plains!"

"If you have the guts, don't buy salt, sugar, medicine, cloth, and tea from China... When the Chinese caravan arrives, everyone becomes as greedy as dogs!" Nadataya snorted loudly with disdain.

Because they were doing business in the cold winter, Lin Zisu's team drove all cars, including an RV and two large military trucks.

At this time, Nadataya was arguing with the people in front, and the three cars behind stopped to watch. Everyone listened but couldn't understand, as they only knew a few simple words in the grassland language.

There are so many languages ​​and they are so complicated that it is impossible to learn any of them unless you live in the local area long enough.

However, Lin Zisu understood it all. She really did understand it, because her RV had upgraded its function and other languages ​​were automatically translated into Chinese.

She sat in the driver's seat, watching the conversation translated on the screen.
