Yang Chuan couldn't stay in Mobei for a long time, so his method was a little simple and crude: quickly complete the construction of the new 'Luding City' and the adjustment of the industrial structure.

He stubbornly believed that a fortified castle was nothing more than a temporary refuge in the days when cavalry was dominant.

If you want to really manage a large area of grassland and have a 'base area' of your own, you still need to have a complete set of industries from the root point of view.

For example, in this large area at present, on some simple 'maps of the world' of the Han Empire, there is only one name of 'Ding Ling', thinking that this is a bitter cold place, and even cattle, sheep and livestock will be frozen to death, a proper 'no man's land'.

Even the Huns believed that the area around the Kent Mountains was barren and inhospitable, unsuitable for sheep and horses.

So, although this was once one of the birthplaces of their ancestors, almost none of the tribes wanted to stay here and protect their 'ancestral land'.

As a result, the dragon city and deer city with abundant water and grass, as well as the Yinshan mountain line that stretches for thousands of miles, have become the homes of the grassland people.

But.

In Yang Chuan's eyes, this is a treasure of feng shui.

If you think about it, there are freshwater lakes with a radius of 350,000 miles, seven or eight freshwater rivers crisscrossing here, plains, forests, grasslands, and the vast Gobi Desert.

What's more, the minerals here are too rich, not only open-pit coal mines, open-pit pyrites, gold mines, silver mines, etc., but also rich oil.

Not to mention, there is also extremely rich oil and gas here, how can Yang Chuan, who used to be a cook for the geological exploration team, let go of such a treasure of feng shui?

Of course, there is another very important and hidden reason why Yang Chuan sneaked back to Beihai and first built and operated his 'Luding City' -

The Huns would be beaten out of and urine by Liu Che, so that they would move north, east and west in a big way; Among them, the one that moved north should have only retreated to the Beihai area, and after a long period of obscene development, it became a big problem for the Han Empire again.

With such a result, Yang Chuan will never allow it to appear.

At present, his strength is still very weak, and he does not have enough strength to prevent the Huns from moving east and west, but at least he must block their back road to the north......

Yang Chuan expected that this time Princess Nangong's return to Han would inevitably trigger an anger that swept the world, and the furious Liu Che and his Han Empire would inevitably deal several fatal blows to the Xiongnu organization.

There are fierce generals like Wei Qing, Li Xi, Su Jian, Gongsun He, and Li Guang, plus the money and grain hoarded for him by the two generations of old emperors of 'Wenjing Zhizhi', which is enough to support dozens of major wars.

Yang Chuan has carefully deduced countless times, once the Han does his best, the Huns will inevitably be directly stunned, coupled with the intrigue within the Huns, Yi Zhixian can't bear Liu Che's anger at all.

And so it goes.

The appearance of Luding City is not only a tactical step, but from a strategic level, he began to prepare an unimaginable and incomparably fatty ingredient for him, a 'big Han chef'.

The land of Mobei must be firmly controlled in the palm of his hand, and his retreat is somewhat reliable......

……

In the matter of building the city, Yang Chuan only put forward some basic requirements, and let those half-sized children preside over it.

His main energy is still on the foundation of Luding City and the development of the industry.

Vigorously develop breeding, grazing, nomadism against nomadism, is obviously the most simple and crude way, as long as he manages it carefully, but three years and five years, he should be able to form an absolute elite iron horse.

The question is, in this way, didn't he create the second Xiongnu Empire with his own hands?

It's boring to think about.

The development of agriculture makes it easier to cultivate a so-called 'ceremonial state', and with the blood of his 'Tian Khan' Han people, it sounds good.

The problem is that, as we all know, the development of agriculture is generally a long time and requires years of accumulation before it can be reaped; At the same time, the agricultural civilization is also easy to be harassed and plundered by the surrounding nomadic tribes, which is very difficult.

As for the development of industry...... Think about it, forget it.

With his half-baked level, it took two or three years to get a 'black powder' out, not to mention, and he almost took his life into it.

In addition, he is weak, once he opens that Pandora's box, where in the world is there any about him as a cook, and he is not beaten out of and urine every minute......

Yang Chuan rode a little mare, wandering around, pondering, and thinking about the Beihai area all day long, and finally couldn't think of a way that satisfied him, which not only made him a little anxious.

Half a year, up to half a year.

He must return to the Han Empire, otherwise, he will definitely attract the suspicion of others, which is a very disgusting thing......

"Childe, the construction of the new city is progressing smoothly, and the first batch of wood and stone has been moved."

On this day, Yang Chuan was lying on a stone on the bank of the Selenge River and closed his eyes to recuperate, when his cousin father came, with a smile on his face: "I went out and robbed more than 300 young women and children. ”

Yang Chuan let out an 'um' sound, looking a little absent-minded.

Tangyi's father was stunned for a moment, and rubbed his two big hands a little restrainedly: "Childe doesn't like to rob, so I won't let them rob from now on......"

"Why don't you rob it," Yang Chuan said lazily, "King Ding Ling occupies hundreds of thousands of miles of land, and there are hundreds of tribes large and small, which one doesn't rely on robbery......

By the way, robbery? ”

Yang Chuan sat up violently and startled his cousin's father: "Childe? ”

"You wait, let me think about it," Yang Chuan waved his hand, frowned and pondered, and whispered: "The living materials of the Huns basically depend on robbery, why don't we want to rob them?" ”

Tangyi's father was relieved when he saw Yang Chuan's appearance.

This son, a good person, a good heart, and everything is good, but he is easy to be frightened, and every once in a while there will be this kind of self-talk.

"Yes, you can find a way to rob their cattle, sheep, horses and livestock."

"It can even be a woman or a child."

"Of course, those guys are all poor, and if they want to rob some food, iron, gold, or something, there must not be much, so it's better to find a way to rob Liu Ling's ......"

In this way, after more than an hour, Yang Chuan finally ended his 'self-talk mode', rubbed his handsome little face vigorously, and turned his head to look at Tangyi's father: "Uncle Tangyi's father, I have already thought about our first stage of development model."

Rob, rob the mother! ”

Tangyi's father opened his mouth for a while, nodded vigorously, and said angrily: "Okay, I'll go and select and train a thousand-person team to rob the grassland!" ”

Yang Chuan was slightly stunned, and then laughed: "Uncle Tangyi, the robbery I am talking about is not the robbery you said. ”

This time, I finally couldn't fix the Hun father of Tangyi, and after snorting a few times, I finally asked: "Childe, what does that mean?" ”

Yang Chuan beckoned and said with a smile: "Uncle Tangyi, come here." ”

Father Tangyi took two big steps forward, bowed and said, "Childe." ”

Yang Chuan casually took out a rather delicate brass bottle from his bag and asked, "Uncle Tangyi, if such a gadget is brought to the grassland, how many lambs, how many cows, and how many horses can it be exchanged?" ”

"Or how many young women can you get in exchange?"

Tangyi's father was stunned and said, "At least fifty fat sheep can be exchanged." ”

Yang Chuan nodded and smiled.

That's right.

Taking some useless gadgets in exchange for the Huns' cattle, sheep, livestock and horses is not tantamount to robbing money?

As long as there is no large-scale production of iron tools, there is no harm, comparable to the skin and meat business of the Zhuo family in Chang'an City's 'Tianfu World'.

The investment is small, the results are fast, you don't pay taxes, you don't disturb the people, and you can make the grassland people like you......

It's a bit of a headache to think about.

Of course, before this 'deal', there is one thing that must be prepared in advance: to assemble a strong cavalry!

Before robbing other people's wealth, you must have the consciousness of being robbed, in this world, there is no reason to only take advantage and not suffer, unless your fist is hard enough.

"Uncle Tangyi, the first batch of veterans left, how many people are left?" Yang Chuan asked suddenly.

"Of the seven hundred and thirty-two people who survived, more than 100 of them were injured and sick and have become invalids," said Tangyi's father with some sadness, "and more than 100 people, who are not in good health, can only herd sheep and horses." ”

Yang Chuan nodded slightly, counted with his fingers, and asked, "In other words, there are less than five hundred people?" ”

Tangyi's father nodded: "There are 500 people who can ride and shoot and control the strings, but if you want to run for a long distance, it is estimated that only about 300 people can do it." ”

"Three hundred people are enough," Yang Chuan stood up and said with a warm smile: "Aren't there still hundreds of children in our big sheepfold?"

Gather all children under the age of 16 as the first batch of owners of the new city, strengthen their learning, training, and by the way, start with habits such as living hygiene. ”

Tangyi's father was overjoyed, bowed deeply, and said, "Tangyi's father thanked those children for his great kindness!" ”

Yang Chuan smiled and didn't say anything.

As for how to cultivate children, Tangyi's father actually has more say, after all, aren't the thirty and a half sons brought up by Tangyi's father?

What Yang Chuan, the 'Heavenly Khan', needs to do is to control a direction, so that everyone can make as few detours as possible and make fewer mistakes......

……

Early the next morning, Yang Chuan took ten and a half sons to the foot of a small hill seven or eight miles away, and asked five of them to dig clay; The other five were digging a greenish ore on a white background not far away.

Then, he himself collected and mined seven or eight ores of different colors.

"Smash these rocks, grind them into fine powder, and strain them several times with a spinner yarn."

"This kind of clay should also find a way to grind and filter, and then mix it with these ore powders, try to match a few more proportions, let's try slowly."

"Let's make some charcoal first, build a kiln and try it, and then I'll find a way to dig up some new things for us with more fire."

Those half-sized people didn't know what Yang Chuan was going to do, but everyone worked very hard, using the hammers, steel drills and other rudimentary tools in their hands to crush, grind and filter the clay and ore.

Then, under the guidance of Yang Chuan, these things were matched and mixed according to different proportions, mixed with water, and then kneaded into clumsy pots and pans by hand.

"Childe, what are we going to do here?" A half-grown man asked curiously.

"The guy who cooks a few things for everyone to eat," Yang Chuan said with a smile, "This person lives in the world, isn't it just to eat, drink, sleep, eat, drink, live, and travel?" ”

"Therefore, if you want to have a home of your own, you must start with a job."
