Chapter 147: Dealing with Altitude Sickness

Li Feng left thirty-three children to Qu Yishou, and also left three daughters, Qiao Yan, and a lot of cotton that they needed to spin into cotton thread.

And he himself returned to Chang'an with Wang Bing and more than a dozen oxcarts of cotton-padded clothes and quilts.

Because I am going to participate in Yan Chapter 147 tomorrow. Dealing with Altitude Sickness

Li Feng left thirty-three children to Qu Yishou, and also left three daughters, Qiao Yan, and a lot of cotton that they needed to spin into cotton thread.

And he himself returned to Chang'an with Wang Bing and more than a dozen oxcarts of cotton-padded clothes and quilts.

Because he was going to attend Yan Shuyi's poetry meeting tomorrow, he couldn't be late.

Originally, Li Feng asked Li Lizhi to come to Taiping Village to get cotton-padded clothes and quilts, but he didn't expect that he would get so many cotton-padded clothes and quilts back in one trip.

Li Feng knew that this was related to the fact that he had done enough preliminary preparations. In addition, Li Feng stopped working in the winery and asked all the villagers to help pick cotton.

Having more people means strength, and with specific tools, they can pick cotton very quickly.

With more than a thousand sets of quilts and cotton-padded clothes, Li Feng returned to Chang'an.

The guards at the Chang'an city gate were stunned when they saw more than a dozen ox carts, because the ox carts were filled with quilts and clothes.

"Which country bumpkin is this, bringing so many quilts and clothes to Chang'an to sell?" an officer and soldier guarding the city gate chuckled.

Another said: "You call them country bumpkins, what do you think of them? It's already good to be able to sell them with quilts and clothes. Last time they sold them with a bunch of scrap materials."

"Yes, he finally went back in despair. I don't know how long it will take before he leaves this time."

"How about we make a bet?"

"No, I won't bet with you unless you give me the money you lost in the last bet."

"..."

Li Feng ignored the conversation between the two gatekeepers and did not return to his residence. Instead, he came to Qin Qiong's residence.

When Qin Qiong saw Li Feng coming, she thought he was here to ask about matters in the coal mine and iron mine. This made Qin Qiong a little embarrassed and had no face to see Li Feng.

This was also after the establishment of the Firearms Bureau, Qin Qiong never approached Li Feng once.

"Li Feng, why are you here? Are you here to inquire about the Firearms Bureau? Don't worry, the Firearms Bureau is almost completed. Fang Xuanling and I have studied and decided to build it outside the city, at the foot of Beishan.

There is a gunpowder preparation workshop on the mountain, a cave has been opened, and the army has taken over the entire Beishan."

Li Feng said: "Old Qin, you have to worry about the Firearms Bureau. How is Huaiyu lately? I haven't seen him for a while."

"He is now arranged by His Majesty to be sent to the military camp, as is Master Cheng Yaojin. They are training the army, as if to intimidate Tibet." Qin Qiong explained.

"I understand. It's just that regular training is of no use. Tubo's momentum is much higher than that of Chang'an. If we can't overcome this, no matter how we train, the army will get sick after entering Tubo, resulting in no combat effectiveness." Li Feng said.

Qin Qiong was shocked and said: "Do you have a training method?"

"Simple training such as mountain climbing, long-distance running, and load walking will do. The main purpose is to increase lung capacity and enhance adaptability. Others are of little use.

Also, after arriving in Tubo, you should not march too fast and gradually adapt to Tubo's altitude sickness. The main thing is that if you adapt, Tubo's so-called ghosts and gods will be defeated without attack, and the imperial army will be truly invincible." Li Feng explained.

"This is really simple. Are you sure this is enough for training?" Qin Qiong asked again in disbelief.

Li Feng said: "Old Qin, training only increases one's lung capacity and adaptability. What is really effective is that after entering Tubo, don't march in a hurry, but march gradually, and then march after adapting to the local environment.

Lao Qin, do you know how much taller Tubo is than Chang'an?"

"Isn't it the same height?"

"No, it's much higher. It's at least more than a thousand meters higher. The highest point is more than five thousand meters. It's precisely because it's so much higher that when we enter Tubo, we will feel dizzy, nauseous, have chest tightness, and even suffer from shortness of breath.

Dying from lack of breath.

Therefore, only when the army gradually adapts can the army not lose its combat effectiveness due to altitude sickness." Li Feng said again.

Qin Qiong began to ponder for a while and said, "Are you telling the truth? This matter is big or small."

"Old Qin, do you think I would make a joke about this?" Li Feng said very seriously.

Qin Qiong said: "Then I must tell Huaiyu about this."

Li Feng saw Qin Qiong's impatient look and said, "Don't be anxious, training me won't happen overnight, and there is still a fight between Tubo and the imperial court.

If a fight breaks out, there will be red-coated cannons and flying crows at the border. The Tibetans will never come back, so don't worry.

The real opponent of the imperial court is the Turks. Only after the Turks are destroyed can the imperial court have the time to deal with other countries."

Qin Qiong nodded. He recognized Li Feng's words. He knew that what Li Er could not forget was revenge. The Weishui Alliance was a shame in Li Er's heart. How could he not wash it away?

"Li Feng, you didn't come to my house specifically to talk about this matter, right?"

"Of course not. I came to you mainly for two things. One is Huaiyu. He has not appeared in front of me since he became a disciple. I want to know what happened.

Now I know, the second thing is to give you two things, Lao Qin, Wang Bing, bring them in." Li Feng shouted.

Wang Bing immediately brought in the folded quilts and cotton-padded clothes.

Li Feng picked up the top piece of cotton-padded clothes, spread it out, brought it to Qin Qiong, and said: "This is my latest invention. Cotton-padded clothes and quilts are good things to keep warm. These two cotton-padded clothes and two pairs of cotton-padded clothes

The quilt is for you and Huaiyu.

You can try on the clothes now, and as for the quilt, you can try it on at night. If you like it, you can go to my store and buy it."

Li Feng didn't wait for Qin Qiong to speak and directly put the cotton coat on Qin Qiong's body.

Qin Qiong wanted to refuse, but after Li Feng's persuasion, she finally went back to the house and changed into cotton-padded clothes.

After Qin Qiong changed into cotton-padded clothes, he couldn't help laughing because of the comfortable and warm feeling: "Haha... it's warm, it's so warm."

He smiled and said as he walked out of the room, came to Li Feng, and said, "Why are you so comfortable and warm?"

Li Feng took out a piece of cotton and said: "Your clothes are stuffed with these paintings. They are extremely soft. Of course they are comfortable and warm."

He stood up and said, "As long as you like it, I have to go to another place to see you off, so I'll say goodbye first."

"Are you leaving now?" Qin Qiong asked in surprise.

Li Feng asked in confusion: "What? Do you still have something to do?"

Qin Qiong thought for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "I haven't bought the coal mine yet. I haven't bought the iron mine yet."

"You haven't bought it yet? Lao Qin, you are so useless." Li Feng said with some disdain.

Qin Qiong was a little embarrassed and said: "There is no way. The coal mine is in Pei Ji's hands. No one dares to touch Pei Ji for the time being, and neither do I. So the coal mine is still in Pei Ji's hands."

Li Feng nodded and said: "I will handle this matter. Don't worry, I will send the cotton clothes and quilts to others first."

I went to the village to get cotton-padded clothes and quilts, but I didn’t expect that I would get so many cotton-padded clothes and quilts back in one trip.

Li Feng knew that this was related to the fact that he had done enough preliminary preparations. In addition, Li Feng stopped working in the winery and asked all the villagers to help pick cotton.
