It took Murong Shun a day to dig up all the treasures he knew, to be honest, the gate valve family likes to bury money Li Ke knows, but he didn't expect that even these nomadic nobles like to bury money, but soon Li Ke guessed the reason, that is, they knew that the Tang Dynasty was coming, and if the money was not hidden, it would be difficult to take it away.

After all, so much money can only be taken away by a carriage, and the carriage's mobility is too weak, and many places can't go up at all, so it can only be buried.

There are more treasures dug up than Li Ke imagined, which includes all the wealth of Murong Fuyun, as well as the wealth of all the nobles of Tuyuhun, of which there are about 100,000 yuan, but the amount of gold is quite large, there are 110 stones, and there are close to 7 tons of gold.

This amount was really beyond Li Ke's expectations, although he knew that the Western Regions were prevalent in gold, but just one Tuyuhun could scavenge nearly 7 tons of gold, which was really a lot. The purity of this gold is certainly not as high as that of later generations, and most of them are mainly made of various gold ornaments and golden utensils, such as golden masks, headdresses, and so on.

Li Ke is a little curious, if these things are buried in the ground, it is estimated that more than a thousand years later, it is estimated that they will be all kinds of cultural relics, from these headdresses, masks, gold and other styles, most of them are from different cultures, you don't have to think about it, this is probably all the wealth saved by the royal family in Tuyuhun for more than 300 years.

It is estimated that most of these things are snatched from the surrounding small countries.

In addition to gold, there is a lot of silver, and silver is also the most used utensils by Turkic and other minority nobles, and Li Ke even saw a lot of Sassanid Persian silver coins.

According to the statistics of silver, there are probably close to 4 tons.

These riches can be said to have dug up the wealth of all the nobles of Tuyuhun, and Li Ke knew that this was also Murong Shun's vote, because now if Li Ke released the other Tuyuhun nobles, it is estimated that these Tuyuhun nobles could directly cut Murong Shun.

However, Li Ke was the talker, and after Murong Shun gave out the list of those Turkic nobles, Li Ke directly asked these Turkic nobles to be escorted to Chihai, and then handed them over to the twenty craftsmen who came this time, and they began to build the salt pans according to the modern salt drying process manual.

The early process on the Yantian side is very simple, mainly to build salt ponds of different concentrations, and then start to dry the brine through the salt ponds.

Li Ke's side is to let people start to be responsible for the construction of Xizhou City, that's right, Li Ke is going to build a city near the Chaka Salt Lake, and the planning of the city is also simple, this time the caravan came over among the people who have learned relevant planning, although it is not as famous as the Yuwen family, but it is enough to design a small city.

Although he himself has vision, Li Ke didn't take over, because the times are different, and the things that need to be considered in ancient times are different from modern times, so he can think about it from the side. There are several small rivers around the Chaka Salt Lake that flow into the salt lake, and there is a larger river on the south bank, which the locals call the Mayana River, and Li Ke directly changed its name to the Chaka River.

The Chaka River is the main confluence river of the entire salt lake, so there is no shortage of water sources for the construction of the city here.

The day after Murong Shun dug up these gold and silver treasures, the entire vicinity of Chihai became agitated, not only Chihai, but also the vicinity of Qinghai Lake next door, all the herdsmen's settlements had the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty constantly shouting loudly.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty has a decree to start the construction of Chihai City the day after tomorrow, and some workers will go to the relevant areas of Chihai City to work." One by one, the cavalry kept the news to the small tribes.

There are no nobles in these small tribes, and the small tribes are a bit like the villages of the Tang Dynasty, that is, more than a dozen households, at most, dozens of herdsmen gather together and graze together, mainly to resist wild beasts, horse bandits that have already appeared, or other small tribes that can't survive natural disasters and come to plunder.

These Tuyuhun people all know Chinese, so there is no need to worry about whether they can understand it or not, there is no compulsion in the notice of the cavalry, and Li Ke does not force these herdsmen to work, he just wants to see the reaction of these ordinary herdsmen, and then make adjustments.

The population of Tuyuhun is really not much, so the scope of the construction of Chihai City does not need to be too large, and a city of 3 kilometers square is enough.

"Your Highness, can we have enough food?" At this moment, in Li Ke's tent, Li Jing asked with a worried face.

"No problem." Li Ke nodded, looked beyond the window of the tent, and looked at the large piece of sheep bladder hanging there in the camp, which had been specially tanned. This is reserved for water bladders.

In ancient times, there was not such a high technology, including the cavalry, infantry, and nomadic cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, and the water bladders carried by pigs and sheep were made of a layer of skin sewn on the outside after tanning.

In this era, there is nothing thrown away from animals.

The caravan of Yuelai Trading House, except for the craftsmen, everyone else had already left, and when he left, Li Ke met everyone one by one, and asked their names, remembering that it doesn't matter if you remember it or not, this is an attitude.

"The amount of food needed is not a small number." Li Jing sighed, although His Royal Highness's trading house had transported more than three thousand three hundred stone of grain before, but these grains were equivalent to a huge number of people, and it was just a small number.

"I have to find a way to save them, after all, they are now the people of Datang." Li Ke shook his head, it is actually very simple to win over the hearts of ordinary herdsmen, just let them live.

In this era, people are the greatest wealth, especially if Li Ke wants to take even Tubo in the future, then these herdsmen must take it, they have adapted to the plateau life, and the plateau fights.

What Li Jing and Li Ke are discussing here is that after every defeat in a major war, the nomads will decline! There will even be a large number of people killed, not to say killed or anything like that.

It refers to the fact that all the nomads on the grassland are actually in a fragile state of balance, which refers to the balance between people and food, and the herdsmen are in a fragile state of balance between cattle and sheep and other foods, although there is a surplus of cattle and sheep, but there is not much excess.

In the event of a great war, the Khan conscripted tens of thousands of soldiers, all of whom were strong laborers, and when these people stopped hunting and could only eat, the consumption increased dramatically.

With fewer cattle and sheep, it is no longer possible to feed so many herders, and in order to survive, they can only slaughter more cattle and sheep, and once the balance is broken, it is a chain reaction.

Not to mention, when something like Datang and Tuyuhun happens, at present, tens of thousands of troops in Datang eat all the cattle and sheep of Tuyuhun, which is equivalent to tens of thousands of mouths in plain vain, and the number of cattle and sheep slaughtered is countless.

The Tuyuhun people who were killed were completely unable to restore this balance.

This is one of the reasons why, after a great victory, many tribes will kill the enemy who is higher than the high-wheeled man, leaving only women and children, firstly, to multiply the population, and secondly, to reduce consumption and restore the balance of cattle and sheep.

Human wisdom, even if it is not cultured, is always groping forward, and the same is true for nomads.
