Daqin: Reign in the world

Originally, between the white mountains and black waters, there were still many nomadic families. On the one hand, they want to go to Shucheng to farm, but on the other hand, they can’t let go of the cattle and sheep that have been grazing for generations.

With pontoon, this problem is solved.

Many nomadic families come to Shucheng to apply for land and plan to start growing soybeans next year. You can also let the family cross the pontoon bridge every day and drive the cattle and sheep to graze.

In order to take care of these herdsmen, Yingteng also built some large fences in the west of Nanhe. It is used to separate the cattle and sheep of each family.

Winten knew that this was just a stopgap measure. As there are more and more cattle and sheep in the future, these fences will definitely not be enough.

The best way is to slowly go deep into the grassland and build a lot of centralized guard bases.

Using these nomadic families, they slowly brought the Daqin army into the depths of the grassland.

Because, in the depths, west of the natural sea, there are still the remnants of the Huns, living there.

Daqin and the Xiongnu have already formed a mortal feud. For the Huns, there is no Huairou, only to see one and slaughter one!

After the pontoon bridge was built, Yingteng took 30,000 people to the depths of the grassland, found a suitable place, and began to build the city.

The requirements for building a city on the grassland are actually not high, as long as there is a water source, it can.

But even such a simple request is often not met.

The lack of water in grasslands is the most fundamental reason why grasslands cannot be converted into arable land.

In the end, Yingteng still found a large area of abundant water and grass. There are two lakes, Hulun Pond and Yuerhai.

This location is also exactly the halfway point between Shucheng and Ding Zero City. Building a city here helped to strengthen the connection between these cities.

Seeing that winter was approaching, Yingteng decided to let the army build a city here for the winter. In the coming year, you can open up the land and attract a large number of people to cultivate.

Moreover, farming in this place is not particularly delayed in grazing. Having a fixed residence can also make the herders live more safely and comfortably.

To win and build the city, Zhao Zhongshi naturally has to fully support it. He called on the herders of Shucheng to go to Hulun Chi to build a city while grazing cattle by the lake without delay.

Kong Jia, the deputy general who was far away in Ding Zero City, even called a group of Ding Zero people to help build the city.

Now this season, it is after the autumn harvest. Apart from grazing, those people had nothing else to do, but might as well come to work and earn some copper money to subsidize their families.

Although now, in Ding Zero City, there is basically nothing to buy if you have money. Only horses, cows, sheep.

However, there are already many more outsiders than before, and I believe that soon there will be businessmen who will go to Ding to retail and sell some daily necessities.

This is predictable. Therefore, the Ding Zero people also seemed enthusiastic about coming to Hulun Chi to help build the city.

On the steppe, there is little wood, no stones, and the materials for building the city is a big problem.

With its rich experience, Yingteng thought of a way.

He used sand and clay collected from the lake, mixed with lime, and mixed it into a thick mud. Build a city with this thing.

Zhao Zhongshi was young and had never seen this thing. Just ask Winteng.

“General Win, will this kind of soil, the wall built, be particularly strong?”

Yingteng smiled.

“This is the method used by the First Emperor to build the mausoleum, do you say it is strong or not?”

Zhao Zhongshi stuck out his tongue. Although he is mature, he is still a child.
