Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

When these herdsmen continued to gather in towns selected in advance and gradually established permanent gathering points, Tian Meng also began to prepare for the next step of the plan.

That is the problem of infrastructure construction and pathfinding.

His Royal Highness wants to build a road on the grassland, so this road construction needs to be explored.

And connect the aggregation points one by one, at least most of the aggregation points must be connected.

After the implementation of the previous plan, there will be a large number of pastures on the entire grassland without people grazing, and these pastures will gradually start to recuperate.

After all, the pastures of these herdsmen are strictly calculated, and they can graze to the maximum without harming the pastures. In the past, the Turks could not have such a precise range of grazing.

Therefore, after the integration, in fact, there are large areas of no-man's land on the grasslands of Hanhai Prefecture.

In the future, these no-man's lands can accommodate more herdsmen, or carry out various policies such as rotational grazing.

But now, whether it is exploring the road or others, the most important thing is to start the infrastructure construction first.

The infrastructure construction on the grassland, like that of the Tang Dynasty, is still very necessary to directly repair the official road.Many people think that there is no need for road construction in the grasslands, and that the roads in the grasslands are smooth, and many places can be walked casually.

Just like the grasslands of Inner Mongolia in later generations, many people have the impression that there is no problem in driving for 5 minutes with eyes closed.

Although this is the case, in fact, the grasslands of the present Hanhai Prefecture are far more lush than the grasslands of later generations.

Why the Turks have a tribe called the Gaoche Tribe, because they are good at building high carts. The so-called high carts are very similar to the Mongolian Lele carts. The wheels are very tall, because the snow in pastoral areas is knee-high in winter, and the grass is deep in summer. Some swamps, so after the wheels are big, it can easily walk on the grassland.

But before building roads, the most important thing is to connect all the current gathering points.

It is also very simple to connect these gathering points and guide the direction on the vast grassland, pile up obo!

Well, according to His Highness's plan, the basic construction of the grassland will start with piles of oboos!

Aobao, later generations, is a symbol of sacrificial offerings on the grassland, and in a certain period, it was also a symbol of some grassland nobles showing their wealth and rights.But when it first appeared, it was a symbol used to show the border and guide the road on the grassland.

The construction of roads on the grassland has not yet been completed. The main reason is that the food cannot keep up, so this year we will start with stacking oboos.

These obo may guide the way for a long period of time in the future.

In addition, some animal skulls such as sheep's head and ox's head were hung on the early obo on the grassland, and they were even dyed black or red. The trail of Obo.

Because if the stones are piled up, the grassland will be covered with heavy snow in winter, and it is impossible to distinguish the obo from a long distance, and the hides of cattle and sheep are often important materials for keeping warm and cannot be wasted.

The skulls of cattle and sheep are sometimes used for this purpose.

But as far as the current Tang Dynasty is concerned, because there is no shortage of fabrics, these animal skulls can be directly replaced by fabrics for the time being. After all, fabrics can be made bigger.

The early oboos were not round, but different shapes, used to indicate the direction.

Tian Meng is going to start this infrastructure construction activity on the grassland. Unlike Qinghai, the farthest food here is transported to the Yinshan Mountains. Therefore, if you go further north, it is better to use salt instead.

Because on the grasslands, salt is more expensive than grain, so the herdsmen will be paid more for transporting a cart of salt.

After finalizing the policy, Tian Meng directly began to spread the entire decree to the entire grassland.

For all the roads, first understand the herdsmen, find out the direction of the flat terrain, and then pile up the obo on some relatively high hillsides and other places. The obo will be piled up every about one kilometer.

The stones used in Obo are loaded by herders on horseback looking for gravel from nearby stone mountains.

The shape of the whole Obo will be set in different shapes. Where there is no fork, it will be piled up into a circle, and where there is a fork, it will be set as a triangle or a polygon. The acute angles indicate different directions.

And at each intersection, the name of the town or county in this direction will be engraved on the stone tablet at the acute corner.

In addition, a five-pointed star will be inlaid with stones in the true north direction of each obo, representing the direction of the North Star.

All the herdsmen who are willing to pile up Obo can get a catty of grain or half a tael of salt every day.This price was carefully calculated by Tian Meng, and it was lower than the current price of grain and salt on the grassland. In addition, almost all herdsmen could do this job, regardless of their age.

Now the herdsmen on the grassland actually don't do much work every day, and there is no other work except grazing, and grazing does not require all members of a family to come out to graze.

At this time, we should find some work for them. As long as they can see the actual benefits, these herdsmen are the same as ordinary people in Datang. Who would not want to be able to make their lives better?

Therefore, when Tian Meng began to spread the news to all the tribes in the grassland through the security forces, the whole grassland was boiling.

Stacking obo, so that they will not get lost on the grassland in the future, and can still earn food and salt? ! Isn't this pie in the sky?This was originally for the consideration of these herdsmen who lived on the grasslands. They should have been willing to work for nothing, but now they are still willing to give them money?

My God, this can't be done until His Highness goes out of business?I heard from the political commissar and Tang officials who came to promote this policy that Qinghai was built step by step in this way.

This good day is coming soon!Now not only do you have your own cattle and sheep, but His Highness also wants to build road signs on the grassland. After the road signs are completed, you have to build a road along the road signs?With roads, food, salt, cloth, etc. from the outside world will go deep into the grassland?Can they get these for cheaper?

And can sell the useless wool to earn food?

What else do you say? !Dry!Just do it!

Especially when the Tang soldiers or officials responsible for organizing local herdsmen to pile up Aobao popularized some of the functions of Aobao to all herdsmen, they were all stunned.

Sure enough, the people of Tang Dynasty are smart, and His Royal Highness who can distribute cattle and sheep to them is the incarnation of Changshengtian. This obo has so many functions. Why didn't the prairie people think of it after living on the grassland for so many years?Need to use experience to know the way? !

What else do you say? !Let's do it!The herdsmen left their homes with their horses one after another. They took the baskets they wove and put them on the horses, and then loaded the gravel from the foot of the mountains, and then transported them to the calculated location for stacking obo. pile up.

Soon, each obo began to spread across the grassland like dots of fire.
