In September, the sun in the north is no longer hot, and occasionally a cold snap has begun to move south from the far North Pole, and the grasslands at night have begun to enter sub-zero, although the noon of the day is still hot.

But for the nomads of the north, this year is exceptionally different.

The establishment of Hanhai Prefecture has spread throughout the grassland, except for the eastern tribes of Murowei, Khitan, Xi and other tribes, all other nomadic tribes have been included in the management of Hanhai Prefecture, and the western end of Hanhai Prefecture has been completely integrated with Xinjiang Prefecture.

The northern part of Hanhai Prefecture has completely incorporated Beihai into its management, while the further north of Beihai is almost uninhabited, and Beihai is surrounded by primeval jungles, and some tribes in these forests have also been included in Hanhai Prefecture.

As for the east, it naturally borders on Murwei and Khitan.

The biggest difference between this summer and previous years for all herders in Hanhai Prefecture is that they are very busy, they were not busy in the past, but this year is exceptionally busy.

Basically, one person from each herdsman family stays in the family, and then the herdsmen of a village jointly graze, and the cattle and sheep of more than 20 herdsmen are taken care of by ten people, and the others are all going to build roads!

That's right, it's road building! The political commissar in charge of commanding them and the security forces told them that Ao Bao was the preparatory work for the construction of the road.

In just over two months, tens of thousands of more Ao Bao have appeared on the entire grassland, and these circular, triangular, and polygonal Ao Bao are all over the grassland, drawing routes on the grassland one by one.

Where there are large stones on these bags, the names are carved directly on the stones, and where there are no large stones, the names are carved out of wooden boards, and then dyed and inlaid on the sharp corners of the bags.

And each Ao Bao has a cross and a five-pointed star on it to represent the direction on the steppe.

In two months, nearly one million herders on the grassland participated in the infrastructure construction operation, and each herdsman earned an average of about 30 catties of grain or related salt and cloth.

After entering September, these supplies began to be replenished to these herders.

Just like Tian Meng and Li Ke thought, this kind of thing is very beneficial to the herdsmen, so this tradition quickly spread throughout the grassland, and the originally built Ao Bao was constantly supplemented by some stones carried by herdsmen.

Because the political commissars who organized these herdsmen said that these stones might be used for a whole new purpose in the future, and that they might be used when new roads were built in the future.

Therefore, even if there is no organization, even if the required Ao Bao has been piled up, they do not stop, they silently start to load the gravel with a basket from the nearest mountain, and then pile the gravel on the side of the road along the road indicated by the Ao Bao.

Anyway, they are idle, even if they send a basket of stones a day, a lot of them a year, and when they need stones to build roads in the future, they don't need to pull them from farther away, and they can find these stones nearby.

The stretches of stone seemed like slow-growing lines, and the piles of rubble were even connected in a line from some of the villages, except for some special openings between the two Ao Bao.

All the Tang soldiers and officials who entered the steppe were shocked, it turned out ...... Is this the power of the people?

It turns out that these herdsmen are the same as the people of Datang, as long as they meet a person who is kind to them and a person who treats them sincerely, they are also willing to give their sincerity.

It turns out that the people at the bottom of any country are the same.

Tian Meng and the others more deeply realized His Highness's words: sincerity is nirvana.

These herders may not have much education, and they don't know a lot of big things, but they all understand that in the past they could only live, but now they will have a better life.

Whether it is building roads or Ao Bao, they all exist for them, since His Highness is willing to spend money and pay for them, then why don't they work hard?

This matter was written by Tian Meng and sent to Chang'an, Li Shimin, many officials in Chang'an, and Li Ke were silent after receiving this recital.

Compared with Li Ke, Li Shimin and the courtiers were more shocked, this kind of thing has never been done, including how great the khan advocated by many grasslands has not done it, but Li Ke has done it.

It was done with a simple decree. And the result of this formation is really shocking.

One kilometer of Aobao, tens of thousands of Aobao represents tens of thousands of kilometers, they form a spider web-like structure on the grassland, such a project is hard to imagine that it was completed in two months.

But when you think about it, with millions of people involved, you can see why it's so powerful.

And Li Ke looked at such an achievement, and he was also very emotional, because this is the greatness of mankind!

The human group effect often produces a shock that even humans themselves find unbelievable.

And now what leads to this result is obviously the social promotion effect, social convergence effect, and herd effect in the group effect.

When a large group of people collectively do something, it often forms a united effect, and the final achievement will surprise and look sideways to everyone.

And such a thing will even form a kind of collective honor and even faith of mankind in many cases! Outsiders can't understand them, but they themselves know it deeply.

Li Ke thought of the once shocking construction corps in later generations, without the selfless dedication of those generations, how could there have been such rapid development, and how could those lands have developed so quickly?

Just compare the two similar countries in Asia in later generations, the same founding time, the same poverty, and the same population, but the final achievements are the difference between heaven and earth.

That's the frightening thing about the group effect.

Li Ke was sure that although Tian Meng didn't say it, those herdsmen on the grassland, some adults definitely started to tell their children and descendants why they were transporting these stones.

And there will be more and more such people, and when their children grow up, this kind of thinking will affect their lives, and even Li Ke suspects that this kind of behavior of transporting stones may even become a tradition on the grassland.

Li Ke really wanted to know, if he didn't use these stones when building roads in the future, when these people put them on the route formed by the stones from generation to generation, would this be another world miracle like the Great Wall, a man-made wonder?!

Perhaps, in the future, this kind of behavior may even form a belief like the one that will be kowtowed in Tibetan areas in later generations.
