Lake Baikal is vast, with more than 20,000 square kilometers, storing nearly half of the world's freshwater resources, more than 5,000 miles of 'coastline', minerals, forests, plains, snow-capped mountains and mysterious canyons.

It can be said that it is simply a huge treasure.

This territory is still a virgin land, except for some scattered savage tribes and a small number of Huns and Ding Ling small tribes, it can be regarded as an inaccessible land.

Now, it's all Yang Chuan's.

In other words, this vast territory is the territory of his 'North Sea Country'.

It's refreshing, it's comfortable, and it's uplifting.

Of course, it's also a headache: everything here is brand new, many things haven't been named yet, and even Yang Chuan, a big chef, has to start from scratch when he comes here

"That deep blue water is called the North Sea."

"That river is called Yangchuan River."

"That mountain looks very proud, and it's a bit of a second-mindedness, so let's call Huo to go to the sick mountain."

"By the way, this vast river valley is good, you can grow crops and vegetables, let's call it Yuan Gong River Valley."

"This canyon is very beautiful, and there are a lot of medicinal herbs growing there, so it's called Zhongjing Yaowang Valley......

……

Yang Chuan and Tangyi's father led more than 700 people under their command, while looking for a suitable place to stay, they casually named the mountains, rivers and lakes here, and carved many 'stone tablets' by hand.

Tangyi's father didn't understand this.

But this Hun chose unconditional support, as long as Yang Chuan commanded, he would not hesitate to do even if it was difficult, so that other Huns gradually recognized Yang Chuan, the 'Heavenly Khan'.

Finally, the group came to the foot of a huge mountain peak and finally stopped.

This place is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful scenery and a wide field of vision, and the best thing is to face a large plain.

This plain is seven or eight hundred miles in circumference, and is an alluvial plain formed when the Selenga River flows into the North Sea, with fertile soil, extremely rich water resources, and a large number of woodlands and natural pastures.

Yang Chuan chose to take root here, taking this place as his first 'territory', and there is also an unknown secret: not far from here, there are amazing reserves of coal and iron ore.

Logging, city building, hunting, fishing, grazing, breeding.

This is the survival of the 'North Sea Tribes' at the moment.

As for teaching them to refine salt, mine ore, and cultivate wasteland...... He didn't even think about doing it.

After all, his subordinates are all Huns, and he wants to return to the Han Empire in the near future, which is equivalent to asking these people to develop on their own, but don't raise tigers for trouble, but instead cultivate a strong enemy for himself.

He named the city 'Luding City'.

It sounds quite imposing, which is very in line with Yang Chuan's mind, which reminds him of the scumbag named Wei Xiaobao, who not only took refuge in Emperor Jiannu and married seven or eight wives, but also shamelessly engaged in the queen and princess of a certain country in the north.

Phew, as a cook, I, Yang Chuan, swear to be incompatible with you!

"Tian Khan wants to make a long trip, wait for the sheep and horses, hunt and fish, drive away the Huns, Ding Ling and savages nearby, snatch their women, and give birth to more children in our Beihai country."

"Except for me and Tian Khan, everyone else is an enemy, and you must take strict precautions."

"When necessary, kill their men, and take their cattle, sheep, horses, salt, women, and children, and grow our own strength!"

“……”

Before leaving, Yang Chuan only showed his face once, made a meal of roasted whole sheep for everyone in the 'tribe', and handed over the rest of the things to Tangyi's father, a Huns.

The 400 Huns who stayed in Luding City knelt on one knee and cried wildly.

They brandished bows and arrows and scimitars and swore that they must protect Luding City, strengthen the Beihai tribe, and wait for the return of the Heavenly Khan and the King of the Great Snow Mountain.

In the farewell, Yang Chuan's ox cart team set off slowly, gradually moving away, all the way to the south......

……

Wind and food, day and night.

Starting from the distant Beihai, after a long journey of nearly forty days, Yang Chuan, Tangyi's father and his party finally crossed the Yin Mountain and were about to enter the territory of the Han Empire.

Yang Chuan asked the three hundred cavalry who escorted them back to Luding City, and let them bring back all the grain, salt, cattle and sheep.

The future is uncertain, and carrying too many things will only affect the speed at which he can run.

The road he took this time was carefully selected and repeatedly scrutinized, and it was also the road that Huo Qubing went on an expedition to Mobei and sealed the wolf in Xu Mountain a few years later.

Yang Chuan had a strong premonition that he would go many times on this road, so along the way, he not only drew a few very detailed maps of the parchment, but also paid more attention to the rivers, aquatic plants, mountains and forests, river valleys, etc. along the way, and kept it firmly in mind.

When I returned to Chang'an City, I not only had to find a way to solve the problem of household registration, but also had to find a way to raise my title......

The requirements are not high, first upgrade to the eighth level 'public ride'?

Zhang Qian said that there are 20 levels of titles in the Han Dynasty, which are Gongshi, Shangzao, Hairpin, Buchang, Doctor, Official Doctor, Gongdafu, Gongcheng, Five Doctors, Left Chief, Right Chief, Left Chief, Middle Chief, Right Chief, Shao Shangzao, Da Shangzao, Carriage Chief, Dashu Chief, Guannei Hou, and Che Hou.

Later, in order to avoid clash with the name of Emperor Liu Che, 'Marquis Che' was changed to Liehou.

In this so-called 'twentieth rank of knighthood', the ninth rank of five doctors and above is a high lord, also known as an official lord, with the privilege of exemption from military service, and the main way to obtain a knighthood is by virtue of military merits.

The main way to obtain the civil lord is to give the world the lord because of the special privileges and disasters, and it can also be exchanged for military merits, anti-theft, farming, etc., which sounds easy to improve.

But.

The court also stipulated that when a civil lord was higher than the eighth rank, he had to transfer his relatives, so unless there was a special reason, the "civil lord" would generally never be promoted to "official lord".

That is, unless you can win military merit on the battlefield.

Otherwise, the ascent channel for civilians is effectively closed completely......

……

"Childe, more than 100 miles ahead is the territory of the Han Dynasty."

Just when Yang Chuan was thinking secretly, Tangyi's father patted his horse and came to the outside of the carriage tent and asked in a low voice: "Turning over the mountain beam in front of you is Baishan Mountain, the right side can lead to Yanmen Pass, the left hand road leads to the upper valley, and you can go straight to Dai County."

Childe, which way shall we go? ”

Yang Chuan lifted the curtain and walked out of the tent, stood on the wheel and looked into the distance, and muttered: "It is now the turn of summer and autumn, and the Huns are strong and fat, so they should be attacking and disturbing the Yuyang and Shanggu areas......

Let's go west, to the clouds. ”

"There's a war over there in the clouds," said the cousin's father with some concern, "Why don't we find a safe place and wait?" In winter, the Xiongnu army will inevitably retreat to Mobei. ”

Yang Chuan shook his head and said, "It's okay, I have experience in this kind of thing." ”
