Yang Heng naturally wouldn't tempt them with the benefits of tea, especially in the tribes in this city, when the tea of the Tang Dynasty became popular, the tea in the border city would not be so expensive, maybe they would regret it at that time.

"Okay, everyone, tea is not the main thing, let's talk about some other things, let me talk about the treatment of you joining the Tang Dynasty, first of all, I will give you a surname by Your Majesty, so that you will have your surname, and naturally you will have a nice name." This is really a temptation, because Yang Heng found that the people in these tribes all have single-word names, and they don't even have surnames, which is naturally an aspect that attracts them, especially if this surname is given by the emperor, then it is also beneficial to their inheritance.

"Really, we can have our own surname, isn't that the treatment of nobles?" Someone exclaimed, Why, what era is this, you are surprised by a surname, Yang Heng didn't expect that just such a sentence would make them so excited.

"Ming Gong, we agree, we all agree to join Datang." "Alright, alright, don't worry, you can listen to some of my other requests next."

"You say it, Ming Gong, as long as you don't want our lives, we will agree." Some anxious leaders even clapped their chests.

"Well, well, let me first talk about your obligation to join the Tang Dynasty, I have a general understanding of your tribes, there are more than 1,000 of you, so one out of every ten of you will be a government soldier. Do you know the soldiers? Twice a year, I have to come to the city to train for more than two months. In this way, it is possible to delay the work of the family, or in the event of a war, it will be lost, I will explain to you the government soldiers, the government soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, are some of the better families can join, you understand, you can also go outside to learn about this. ”

"Ming Gong, be a soldier. What's in it for us? "The advantage, that is, the family as a government soldier is tax-free and exempt from labor, and I don't want to talk about other things such as military merits or something, right?" "Well, understand, since we have joined Datang, then we should also abide by the rules of Datang, that is, can we still graze on the grassland?" This is the most critical question, not only do they need to know, but Yang Heng has also been embarrassed about this matter for a long time.

"Yes. I'm not going to let you leave the prairie. "This, Yang Heng felt that their words of internal relocation no longer made much sense. If Yang Heng's plan can be implemented smoothly, this grassland will definitely become fat in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty, and if there is any nomadic invasion, it is estimated that there will be no such thing.

"You are more than a dozen clans, I plan to do so, you tribe I will carve out a meadow for you, and then I will build a castle in the middle of this meadow, and there will be a beacon tower on the castle, once you encounter danger, you can move into the castle nearby, waiting for help."

If before, maybe Yang Heng had no way to guard against the invasion of the grassland, but now, his building materials factory is producing cement and other materials in large quantities, and a castle that can hold thousands of livestock and more than 100 people can still be built, and even Yang Heng estimates that Li Er will agree, this is the idea that a game in the Age of Empires provided Yang Heng.

"Castle?" "Don't worry, you continue to listen to me, I will not only build a castle, but also organize patrols, and even regular scouts, so that they can monitor the movements of fifty miles away around the clock, and once they find something wrong, they will notify you as quickly as possible to evacuate urgently."

"This, how much does it cost, we don't have that much money to build this castle." "You don't have to worry, I plan to divide this money into two parts, one part is to let the court support, and the other part is to ask you to return it slowly, that is to say, you can return some every year, and if the year is bad, it will also give you time to delay the return, what do you think."

"Cheng, even if the imperial court doesn't support it, as long as it can guarantee our safety, we can pay in full, although we don't know what a castle is."

"What is a castle, I have a small model here, you can take a look." As he spoke, Yang Heng led everyone to the place where a castle model was located.

"This is the castle, so small." "This is just a model, to give you an idea of what a castle is, you see, this floor is the ground floor, where you can put in the livestock of one of your tribes in an emergency, here, you see, I will build you a well, so that you will not be unable to live in it for a few months, and where will the people live, the second floor, the third floor, and above this is a lookout, which requires your own people to be on duty, to observe the movement in the distance every day, and this beacon, You can use this to signal that you are in danger, and this, which is a drum, and you can beat the drum to gather your own people to get away quickly. ”

"This, this is great, with such a castle, we don't need to hide in Tibet anymore." "Don't get excited, don't get excited, this can't be built so quickly, it will take at least a year to complete."

Castle, Yang Heng has already planned, reinforced concrete, can be transported from Chang'an, and bricks, stones, can be used on the spot so that it can save a lot of time, and even Yang Heng plans to build a cement factory all over the Tang Dynasty, but there is no such opportunity here, but it will not be too far away, once Yang Heng's plan is implemented, the number of this castle will surge, because Yang Heng believes that this castle may be the only way to solve the safety of the grassland, and even cooperate with the gallop to ensure the speed of transporting troops, Naturally, this is also Yang Heng's idea, and Li Er needs to decide, but Yang Heng believes that Li Er will support it.

Why, for the grassland people, if they attack, it is a troublesome thing, but for Datang, this is only a little troublesome, but it is not too troublesome, especially with the cooperation of gunpowder, for Datang, these castles are not an important thing.

"Ming Gong, we all agreed, agreed to join Datang." Everyone spoke anxiously. "Don't worry, don't worry, you can also think about it slowly, and you need to go back and coordinate by yourself, and also, when you join the Tang Dynasty, you also have to pay taxes like ordinary people, and how you pay this tax needs to be discussed within your tribes, but I can tell you that the tax is not very much, maybe the court will let you help the court raise horses, and my idea is that in the future, your taxes will be mainly wool, don't worry, you have to calculate it slowly, Rest assured, I won't let you suffer. ”

"Raising horses, this is our forte, don't we use our horses?" "Ma, my idea is that the court supplies the ponies, and you are just responsible for feeding and raising them, and even the court will give you a certain reward."

"What about the wool, that thing can also be used as a tax, Ming Gong, you won't suffer." "Hehe, don't worry, I won't suffer, you won't suffer, you just wait to live a good life, okay, from today onwards, you can supply wool, rest assured, I will provide you with some tools, such as combs, scissors and other tools for shearing sheep."

Things went very smoothly, Yang Heng was naturally happy, and the smooth progress of this matter was naturally the smooth start of the plan.

"Come, everyone, for the sake of today's success, I will prepare a bag of tea for each of you, and you will also bring it back for your family to taste and taste, and also, after the castle is built, I will build a mutual market in the middle of the lot, and I hope that each of you will find a few people who are doing business."

To build a mutual city, Yang Heng's plan is to let these grassland people assist, otherwise it will be really difficult to arrange people there at the beginning. Only such an arrangement will reassure people on both sides. (To be continued......)
