After explaining the matter, Huo Gang asked Wu Ping to deal with all these materials, but for the time being, Huo Gang was not ready to distribute these materials, such as some daily necessities, salt and the like, such as silk silk, but they were not distributed for the time being.

It's not that Huo Gang doesn't want to issue it, but for so long, the Turks have not moved, and the Turks will definitely react recently, if they repel this attack of the Turks, they will usher in a relatively long period of development.

On Datang's side, to be honest, Huo Gang thought that An Xinggui would stop Datang's army from trading with him, but what he didn't expect was that An Xinggui didn't stop it. This is what surprised Huo Gang.

These ordinary people have no other ideas about the use of these materials, because at present, they are living many times better than before, at least now they can eat enough every day, and occasionally there is meat to eat.

This alone, I don't know how many times stronger than before, although they raised cattle and sheep in the past, but it is not easy to eat meat, because meat has to be used in exchange for food, and the year may be the New Year when they can eat meat.

But now, they can not only eat enough, but also occasionally eat meat, in this era, even ordinary people in Datang are just like that, right? Eating a full stomach is already the happiest thing for them.

Since he came back, Huo Gang inspected the construction of Yumen Pass by the way, the city wall of Yumen Pass has no way to complete the repair for the time being, but all the ruins in the city have been completely cleaned up, everyone's tents have been set up, and the weather is gradually starting to warm, so the residence is not a problem for the time being.

But this winter, their residence must be rebuilt, this Huo Gang is confident, surprisingly there are only more than a thousand people, and the most important thing is that it won't take long before he gets out the cement.

Sun Er has already found clay, just like Huo Gang said, in the current Western Regions, it is not easy to want a large number of clay mines, but it is still easy to find small-scale clay, the first cellar furnace is already being built, and most of all the craftsmen have gone there, and everyone is working together.

The first cellar furnace must be used temporarily, first of all, the first cellar furnace can only be built with stone, but the cellar furnace built of stone cannot withstand high temperatures, so the first cellar furnace is barely used to fire refractory bricks, when the refractory bricks are fired, the second cellar furnace will be made of refractory bricks.

The refractory bricks were then fired until the second and third furnaces were made.

Huo Gang discovered for the first time that he really couldn't underestimate these ancient craftsmen, such as how to fire pottery, how to fire refractory bricks, and how to make these processes perfectly, these craftsmen were not without the ability to study.

Huo Gang only needs to tell them what kind of goal he wants to achieve, and these craftsmen will try their best to complete Huo Gang's task, which is much stronger than Huo Gang just began to think, he needs to instruct them on how to do it.

The construction site near Yangguan is unfolding in an orderly manner, and on the side of Yumen Pass, Huo Gang has already seen the spreading alfalfa grass, which has begun to spread farther away from the water source on both sides of the riverbank, obviously because of the existence of the water source, the groundwater level on both sides of the river bank has also begun to rise.

"General, the reproduction capacity of these alfalfa grasses continues to expand with the help of the general, and if calculated at this rate, in another half a month, the alfalfa grass planted at the beginning can be harvested." Wu Ping and Huo Gang were inspecting a piece of alfalfa grass, and looking north on the bank of the Yangguancheng River, this piece of alfalfa stretched about thirty or forty meters away from the riverbank.

The alfalfa near the river bank have grown to a height of five or six centimeters, and it has only been a dozen days, and if there is another month, it will definitely not be a problem to grow to a height of more than twenty centimeters.

In this way, Huo Gang's current most scarce forage problem has been completely solved, these alfalfa Huo Gang has already asked, it is the most common alfalfa, this thing Wu Ping has seeds, and it was used as medicine at the beginning.

And alfalfa grass has an advantage, like leeks, stubble after stubble, and more importantly, it is not used to winter and will grow again next year, which means that if the alfalfa grass is planted in a large enough area, the number of sheep, cattle and horses raised by Huo Gang will continue to rise.

The number of sheep, cattle and horses raised by herdsmen on the grassland is not the number of pastures in summer, but in winter!

Because in autumn, herders will harvest a part of the grass that is specially set aside for long, and reserve it as hay for cattle and sheep to spend the winter.

Although there is very little precipitation in the winter in the Western Regions, once the snow falls, it is difficult for the sheep to find food, and once the sheep die on a large scale in winter, the whole tribe will be fatally hit the next day.

But now for Huo Gang and them, this biggest trouble has been solved.

Alfalfa can improve the cultivated land, and they can also breed their most important strategic materials, cattle, sheep and horses, especially war horses, with spiritual spring water, just this year's greater Tang exchange materials, Huo Gang can build a new Yumen Pass!

In fact, the location of Yumen Pass in the Han Dynasty is not very good, it is too close to Dunhuang County of the Tang Dynasty, and once there is a conflict between the two sides, this is the most direct key point.

But who made Huo Gang call the spirit of Yumen in his mind, it is the incarnation of the Yumen Pass in the Han Dynasty in front of him, so no matter how bad the location is, Huo Gang must also build it.

Since the Han Dynasty, it could become prosperous because of the Western Regions, why not now?

Sooner or later, it can become the most prosperous city in the Western Regions again.

"How do you plan the farmland?" Huo Gang nodded.

"We inspected the land near Yumen Pass, in fact, the land near this is very flat, during the day, we have begun to artificially drain the river, we are going to artificially guide the river into a square area, so that the central part will not lack water sources whether it is planting crops or pasture, and our planting area will continue to increase."

"We're ready to try to grow some of the food, and if it grows like alfalfa, we can grow all our grain on the cultivated land."

"Although the land here is a little barren, it shouldn't be a problem for us to get through this thing safely." Wu Ping reported their arrangements.

"According to what you said, but you also have to consider the increase in the population under our rule, so the more food, the better, this year's year is not good, the grain on the Datang side may not be harvested, so I will sell part of the war horse to Zheng Ning, and when the time comes, in addition to our necessary materials, mainly let them help buy food." Huo Gang nodded.

"Yes!"
