After a night of silence, Yi Nan's words were like burning a fire in their hearts, if Huo Gang was really like the legend, then what could make them more trustworthy than Immortal Heaven?

The next morning, everyone sat together again, this time Yi Nan didn't wait for Huo Gang to speak, he spoke directly: "Leader Huo Gang, we came this time, not only to send you 70,000 sheep, but also, on behalf of the 220,000 Tiele people of Xue Yantuo's department, we want to join the Great Han." ”

Huo Gang paused, he was a little surprised, he didn't expect them to discuss it for a night, and their attitude seemed to become more resolute, but ...... That's a good thing, because it means that they're really thinking about it.

"Do you know what it means for you to join?" Huo Gang looked at them and asked.

"Of course, we have 220,000 Tiele people in Xue Yantuo's department, I am willing to let them all integrate into the Han Dynasty, as long as they can live a better life, the leader can let them be the same as everyone else under the leader's command, and the leader can arrange for me to be a man." Yi Nan said directly and seriously.

"What about you?" Huo Gang looked at the person behind Yi Nan and said.

"I'm willing to work with the leader of Yinan, as long as Leader Huo is willing to treat me as equals." The others all spoke in unison, obviously they had already discussed.

"Good!" Huo Gang couldn't help but be a little excited, he just had an idea at the beginning, but he really didn't expect that there would really be a big tribe to take refuge in! And Huo Gang also knew what this meant, if Xue Yantuo took the initiative to take refuge, the news would spread.

There will be countless small tribes on the entire grassland in an instant, this is the rule on the grassland, and with the addition of Xue Yantuo's department, this means that the population under Huo Gang's command has exceeded the 400,000 mark! This population has surpassed that of Gaochang Kingdom, and the number of soldiers that can be obtained by his own men is much more than that of Gaochang!

This also means that whether it is Jieli, the Western Turks, or the Tang Dynasty, at this moment Huo Gang is announcing that he will not be afraid of any country!

"But Chief, we have one more request before we join." Yi Nan spoke.

"You say." Huo Gang said directly.

"We want to take a look at the Huo Ci River and the life of the Tongluo people." Yi Nan didn't have any cover, raised his head, and looked at Huo Gangdao calmly.

"Good! No problem, I said, all the people under my command, as long as I accept them, I will treat all of them equally, your request is not too much, in this way, you can take a good look around this Yumen Pass today, and then tomorrow I will personally take you to the Huoci River Valley, to see Yangguan, to see Black Mountain City, and so on. Huo Gang agreed directly.

"Yes!" Yi Nan and the others also agreed excitedly.

"Huo Zheng."

"The end will be."

"You personally lead them to take a look around Yumen Pass, they can see whatever they want, and you can answer them if they want to know anything." Huo Gang said very simply.

"Yes! Chieftain! Huo Zheng directly gave Huo Gang a military salute, and then immediately said to Yi Nan and a few people: "Several, please follow me." ”

After Huo Zheng took Yi Nan and them away, Huo Gang immediately spoke: "Xia Zhu, go and invite the city lord of Wuping to come over." ”

"Yes."

Wu Ping soon hurried over, and after seeing Huo Gang, Wu Ping said with a smile: "Congratulations to the chief, we have another big tribe to take refuge." ”

"Tongxi, by the way, you now send someone to pass the information to the other city lords through the golden eagle, and our follow-up strategic plan will be adjusted. First of all, the speed of road construction has decreased, and our cement this year is only to build the road to Dunhuang, and all the remaining cement is left, telling Sun Er to expand the output of cement, expand the number of recruits, and all the workers who are transferred back from road construction will give them cement factories, and all the cement cellars and furnaces they have built will be put into use. Huo Gang said.

"Yes!"

After these cellars were put into operation, he told Sun Er how much the output of cement could be expanded under the condition of coke supply. After the expansion, all the cement, in addition to the road between Dunhuang County and the rest of the preparation of houses, the preparation of several villages between Yangguan and Yumen Pass has also begun to be put on the agenda. The number of brick factories that fired bricks also began to increase. ”

"The firing of the brick factory is not too difficult, didn't Sun Er find a lot of clay mines for firing bricks, and make use of all the clay mines. We're going to be running out of people right away. ”

"In addition, tell Mingyue in Yiwu City, if the output of the coal mine is not enough, I will send them more manpower later, before the winter of this year, I will build all of our houses, and in addition, about the migration of Xue Yantuo and the distribution of fields, you are ready, and the grain can be transported in advance."

"Yes!"

"It's mid-June, about five months before the start of winter, and the first tasks of the year must be completed!"

"Yes!"

After explaining, Huo Gang also took a deep breath, the addition of Xue Yantuo's department, which means that Huo Gang's territory can enter the second speed, the previous 200,000 population is really not enough, but now the extra 200,000 population means that Huo Gang can speed up again in the second half of this year.

Yi Nan looked at them for two days, and in these two days, they not only looked at the terrain around Yumen Pass, alfalfa grass, and those wheat fields, but they even looked at the sheep raised around Yumen Pass, and the trees on both sides of the road that had been completely lived.

Everything around them was amazed, and the excitement they felt in their hearts was indescribable when they thought that they would be able to enjoy it in the future, especially when they knew that all the land that all their people could be allocated to was such land outside the Yumen Pass.

Although they are indeed Turkic nobles, to be honest, their nobles, except for having more cattle and sheep and not having to go hungry, are actually no better than ordinary herdsmen, after all, the conditions of their Xue Yantuo Department themselves are too poor.

Two days later, Huo Gang took Yi Nan and them directly to Yangguan, the stretch of farmland and the alfalfa grass on the way made Yi Nan and them excited, and when they arrived in Yangguan, they saw a larger area of cattle and sheep, and these cattle and sheep were fat and strong, compared with the thin sheep of their tribe, it was completely two concepts.

I have to say here that although it was only a few months, but the earliest Huo Gang and the sheep in the Bormu Department that they captured, almost all the adult sheep were fat and strong, Huo Gang weighed after they killed them, there were about forty catties and close to fifty catties of pure meat, that is, there were no sheep's heads, internal organs, sheep's hooves, and sheepskins, which were more than forty and close to fifty catties!

This is close to the weight of fattening sheep in later generations, but the meat quality of these sheep is extremely delicious, Huo Gang has eaten a lot, if this mutton is put in the next generation, it is estimated that it is a special product! And it's all natural and pollution-free.

What's more, there are almost no unintentional deaths of lambs under the ewes of this batch of sheep, you must know that the mortality rate of sheep in the previous Turkic flock was very high, but there are almost no here in Huo Gang.

And many of them are two or even three or four lambs, and the ewes have enough milk, not only enough to feed the lambs, but even these goat milk makes some people in Huo Gang's territory have a lot of dairy products to eat.

Huo Gang can probably understand the reason, many wild animals only give birth to one, in fact, it is related to their living environment, most of the Turkic sheep are also one before, because their living environment is poor, they basically can't eat, and the ewes are malnourished, even if they are pregnant with two, it is estimated that they will not survive, so many times when they are pregnant, they are one.

Animals are so amazing, and now when their nutrition keeps up, these ewes are not one when they are pregnant. This is all animal instinct, the magic of nature can be seen, according to such results, it is even foreseeable that next year, the flock of sheep in Huo Gang's territory can at least double or more!

After next year, it is estimated that some herders will even be able to kill a sheep to eat mutton during the New Year's holidays!

After reading Yangguan here, they were very curious about the cement road of Wanmin Road and the endless carriages pulling goods on the road. When they crossed the Yangguan Pass and entered the Huoci River Valley, they soon saw the scene of a sparkling river stretching into the distance on a green grassland!

Seeing this scene, Yi Nan and the others were so excited that they almost knelt down on the spot, for them, this is really a miracle, because this place was barren before, and they all knew it, but now, there is a river here, not to mention, the more important thing is that on both sides of the river, the grass with small purple flowers grows extremely luxuriantly.

And such pastures...... It can be described as boundless.

What kind of place is this? Maybe only an immortal genius can do it! Yi Nan and they were already convinced at this moment, but Huo Gang did not stop his steps, he took them to continue to the west to see the lives of those ordinary herdsmen.

But what Huo Gang didn't know was that when he took Yi Nan and them to Black Mountain City, in the direction of Akcheng, a caravan had just crossed over here, and the person who led this long caravan was Zhao Qi.

It's just that there are still three people in Zhao Qi's caravan, and one of these three people is Li Ji, who has been rushing to Yiwu City for a long time! At this moment, Li Ji followed Zhao Qi's caravan and was heading to these villages in the Huoci River Valley.
