After getting the official appointment, Yang Feng became even more unscrupulous, anyway, he was idle this winter, and he stared at the Grolu people.

There is a reason for it, too.

His soldiers also have a drive for revenge.

What's more important is that the Grolu people are close to each other, at this time the nomadic range of the Grolu people is east of Lake Balkhash, but it is not directly connected to him, and there is a two or three hundred miles in the middle is the Turgish people, Yang Feng only asks the Turgish people to pay taxes, because he produces salt and occasionally rewards it, and he also has the rarest and most urgently needed good things for the nomads in winter......

Well, bean sprouts, actually!

Don't underestimate this thing, nomads don't have green vegetables and fruits to eat at all, and they can only rely on drinking some tea if they want balanced nutrition, but tea obviously can't be compared with bean sprouts, this kind of thing that Yang Feng uses to solve the problem of vitamin deficiency in his subordinates is being fanatically sought after by the surrounding Tuqi Shi herdsmen, who brave the wind and snow and ride horses for dozens or hundreds of miles, just to exchange their fat sheep for a pot of bean sprouts.

Or exchange it for a small bag of cheap salt.

Although this kind of salt really belongs to garbage in Yang Feng's opinion.

It is said that he didn't even bother to filter, and because he didn't control the heat well, there were all scorched ones, and his appearance was completely miserable.

The real seawater salt is different from north to south, some are directly dried in the salt field, but it needs to be in a hot place in the south, some are dried into brine and then boiled, and even on the seaside with sand with very high salt content and seawater to soak out the brine, and then continue to cook, even if it is directly boiled, add something to speed up the crystallization, even if you don't add it, you have to control the heat, first cook it on high heat, and then stop simmering over low heat. But who cares about Yang Feng's rough billets, they don't think about fuel when guarding the vast primeval forest, the fire attack is done in one go, and this kind of thing is simply crazy, you must know that when selling salt in the mainland, it is specially mixed with sand! In these years, as long as there is a salty taste, there is no need to think about anything else, and it is already very conscientious not to add extra sand to those herdsmen.

Salted fish caught and prepared on the shores of Atami is also popular.

There are so many fish there that there is no need for fishing nets, put some bait at the water's edge and big fish will swarm, and then those Tang soldiers can use horses to insert fish, and some people even use strong crossbows and wolf tooth arrows and ropes to shoot, especially at night at the water's edge to set up a torch The effect is better, in short, Yang Feng's salt field soldiers now like the most is trick fishing. These fish are directly made into frozen fish and supplied to the city, and the Tang soldiers who have eaten too much greasy like it, including the surrounding herdsmen have also bought it to eat, of course, they prefer salted fish, salted fish full of salt is a real luxury, and the tribal leader only chops a piece when entertaining VIPs, and usually hangs it on the top of the tent to show his identity.

The Turgish are being reaped handsomely for their docility.

In fact, salt and sprouts alone are enough.

But the Grolos were unlucky.

Yang Feng and his soldiers took turns to pass through the pastoral areas of the Turgish people in battalions, and then went to the territory of the Grolu people to hunt, destroying one Grolu tribe after another, slashing and slashing the men higher than the wheels, and capturing the rest.

He certainly wasn't something the Grolos could resist.

Pity these Grolu people, it can be regarded as paying a heavy price for stabbing the Tang army knife in the back at the beginning, because of the internal accident, the big food army of Talas has begun to retreat, and it is impossible to help them, and finally they were bullied by Yang Feng so much that they can't stand it, those Grolu people can only brave the wind and snow to migrate, in short, the farther away from this brutal guy, the better, and I don't know how many old and weak people froze to death on the road. The result of this is that there are only the Turkish people around Yang Feng, and the relationship between the two sides is getting more and more harmonious, after all, the result of his driving away the Grolu people is to let the Turkish people get more and better pastures, of course, it is said that it is the Turkish, but in fact it is a mess of miscellaneous beards.

They respect the strong, and after Sulu's death, they continued to fight internally for more than ten years, and there has never been a strong leader, and now Yang Feng has actually been respected by them, and a circle of influence with Broken Leaf City as the core and Yang Feng as the leader has gradually begun to form.

"Bring this woman in, boil a bucket of hot water and wash it with soap, and you will enjoy it at night!"

Yang Feng, who was covered in snowflakes, threw a hair ball that was also covered in snowflakes on the ground, and the two female slaves he used to use immediately stepped forward, quickly pulled out a Grolu girl from the hair ball, and dragged her into the inner house of the general's mansion under the latter's terrified gaze. The other four female slaves hurriedly stepped forward, took off the leather robe on the general's body, took off the armor inside, and even took off the boots for him, and then brought him multi-layer slippers of cowhide and fox skin, and helped him into the inner room to strip off the rest of his clothes, so that the general who had just gone out to kill more than 200 people soaked in a large wooden barrel, and a female slave girl brought the self-made fecal soap under the guidance of the general, followed into the wooden barrel, and bathed the general with the other three female slaves......

Well, that's Yang Feng's life.

As for these slave girls, they were all robbed, there were twenty in total, all of them were young and beautiful, the only regret was that they were all bearded women, Sogdian, yellow-haired Turks, black-haired Turks, Qarluq, and even nine surnamed Oghuz, that is, the predecessor of the Seljuk Turks, their nomadic land was not far away, these slave girls were loyal to him, firstly, they were all conquered by his big stick, women are easy to be conquered by this, secondly, their current lives are a hundred times stronger than in the past, nomadic women are not human beings these days, here they are not just people.

In fact, this is true of all the robbed bearded girls.

Those soldiers of the Tang Army are fierce and fierce, but they are all civilized world, and they are not treated by those nomadic men who don't know anything.

Now many women have big bellies.

In short, the broken leaves at this time are completely a model of national ronghe......

Uh, Yang Feng-esque.

"Master, do you need the slave to blow it for you?"

Yang Feng's favorite Sogdian slave in the barrel, holding an object in both hands, said with a charming look like a si.

"Little sao goods, let's do it at night!"

Yang Feng tugged at a small object, then let go of his hand and watched it bounce back in an instant, and said with a smile.

"General!"

At this time, a man's voice sounded outside the door.

"Let's go to the living room and wait!"

Yang Feng said lazily.

The man hurriedly left, and he took a shower and changed into clean clothes, and then came to the living room, his logistics battalion commander Qin Tao hurriedly stepped forward, the general sat down on the Taishi chair, and the female slave next to him served fresh goat's milk.

"General, my subordinates really found the iron ore you mentioned!"

Qin Tao offered a piece of iron ore and said excitedly.

Yang Feng wants to develop here, it must be inseparable from iron, especially his subordinates even have their armor captured in a mess, and in his opinion, the minimum is to have a person and a body of bright light armor, most of his war horses are Arabian horses and Dawan horses, and there is no problem of not moving. But to smelt iron, you must first have iron ore, coal mines are impossible, there are no coal mines in this area, and the nearest ones have to be hundreds of miles, so you can only use charcoal for smelting, fortunately, charcoal just avoids the problem of sulfur, nothing more than low efficiency, but there is exactly one iron mine here, in the mountains dozens of miles south of broken leaves, Qin Tao took a battalion, and the main task these days is to dig the surface soil at the designated place of Yang Feng and find the iron ore underneath.

Now it's finally been found.

"This grade is still a bit low!"

Yang Feng took the iron ore and looked at it.

In fact, ultra-high-grade iron ore is very rare, and it is difficult to find a few god-level iron ores like Sweden in the whole world, and there are only thirty or forty percent in Central Asia, and fifty percent is considered good, and this ore is only forty or so.

"Forget it, it's good to have it, let the brothers work hard to pick some first, and then break it with a hammer, and let those idle women be responsible for picking, but unfortunately there is no magnet, it's better to have a magnet, wait for you to pick and I will teach them to pick in person!"

Yang Feng said.

He now has tens of thousands of women in the city!

So many people just take advantage of it, these nomadic women are not Miss Jiao, let them be responsible for mineral processing, transportation, these are all possible, although the iron ore is only a few dozen miles, but dozens of miles also need to be transported, especially the iron ore is still in the middle of the mountain, and not only iron ore, those charcoal also need to be transported. As for finding a way to get more immigrants from the mainland in the future, this is very important, after all, there are less than 3,000 Han people in Xiaye, and at this time in Central Asia, if there are 200,000 adult men, it will basically crush everything, I have to say that Datang has done a good job of expanding its territory, but this immigration is far from catching up with the speed of expansion, it is said that at this time, Datang also has a population of 80 million, even if it moves over one thousandth, it will not be like this!

"By the way, is there anyone in the city who knows how to smelt iron?"

Yang Feng asked.

"Two brothers have done it, but it's hard for them to make iron."

Qin Tao said.

"Looks like I have to teach you!"

Yang Feng said.

This is not difficult, I have played it many times, and there is no problem for him to build a Ming Dynasty version of the pig iron furnace and a Pudelin furnace, but the wrought iron of the Pudelin furnace needs to be forged, so it also needs a hydraulic forging hammer, which is also not difficult, and the Chu River next to it can be supported, and the only problem is that it cannot be used for a few months.

But that's not a problem.

With these things, you can give his subordinates a bright light armor.

As for firearms......

We'll talk about that later.

One of his guards made a cannon, which forced Li Longji to crusade against him! In fact, he is now on the verge of not being a minister, whether it is iron smelting or boiling salt, he has no right to do it, this will have to attract the attention of the imperial court sooner or later, but his special position determines that the imperial court will not prohibit it, after all, if he is forbidden to do it, he must first solve the logistics supply problem.

Two thousand miles of land transportation!

Two thousand miles of transportation lines over mountains and mountains to climb ice and snow!

Let him do it himself!
