After Touman's death, Meng Tian selected ten Xiongnu prisoners and returned to the Xiongnu royal court with Touman's body.

Looking at Touman's body with a gaze, she disappeared under the horizon of the grassland. The twelve-year-old husband, feeling empty and very helpless.

"Husband, don't worry too much. The general promises to save your life and will not say anything. Instead, you can stay in Xinqinzhong with peace of mind."

Ganluo led his husband back to Gaoque by horse, and continued to comfort him along the way.

The Qin army captured Henan, crossed the Yellow River, took back the land of Zhao during the reign of King Wuling, and fought to the farthest point of Gaoque.

Gaoque is located at the gap between Wula Mountain and Langshan Mountain. It is located in a major transportation road and guards the pass of the Huns going south to Hetao. Its strategic position is very important.

Feng Wuze, the logistics captain of the Qin army, had already begun to build a city in Gaoque.

"General, the Huns have already taken Touman's body and headed north to the Xiongnu royal court."

Back at Gaoque, Ganluo discovered that the Qin army's garrison gradually became a large construction site. The accompanying garrison put down their weapons, picked up plows, and began to rammed earth to build a city.

"After the Huns supported the new Shanyu, we brought out the Huns and supported the Huns as the Huns."

Meng Tian left his husband and waited for the conflicts between the Hun tribes and divided the Hun tribes at the lowest cost.

After hundreds of years of development, the Huns' internal cohesion far surpassed other grassland tribes. In history, the Huns survived tenaciously for four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, and did not completely withdraw from the historical stage until the Five Barbarians' invasion of China.

"Next, our army will not send troops to the grassland on a large scale. Li Bi and Li Zuoche will lead the cavalry to go deep into the grassland and sweep the Huns along the Great Wall."

Meng Tian took out the map from the wooden box, which outlined the future trend of the Great Wall: "Connecting the Great Wall built by Qin, Zhao, and Yan is my main job next. As for Ganluo, I have a more important thing for you to do."

"What's up?"

Gan Luo faced Meng Tian's gaze and saw that Meng Tian was talking solemnly, he couldn't help but put away the relaxation in his heart.

"Military farming." Meng Tian slowly spit out two words from his mouth.

The history of Chinese people's military farming is very long. Since the Chinese nation entered the farming era, with the expansion of arable land, the Chinese ethnic group has expanded to some extent.

After the reunification of the Central Plains, the Chinese people explored the outside world. Faced with regions that formed a certain ethnic culture, if they wanted to achieve better rule and completely incorporate them into the Central Plains territory, the most effective measure was to farmland.

Otherwise, the occupied nations surrender for a short period of time, and when the Central Plains forces withdrew, the locals would lose their sense of belonging to the land of China.

"Does the general want to turn the new Qinzhong into another country of heaven?"

Gan Luo frowned and thought for a while. From the word "Mengtian's mind" he realized Meng Tian's inner thoughts.

Military farming is not just about reclaiming farmland, but about all aspects of remnants, pioneering and building cities. In history, so many people knew what military farming was, but only a few people actually did this.

"The transport of grain from Guanzhong is far north, and it consumes a lot of money, and very little is transported to the front line. The longer the time is, it will only consume more manpower, material resources and financial resources. There is a lot of land in Xinqin, which is suitable for farming. My plan is to achieve self-sufficiency in military rations within three years."

Meng Tian knew clearly that the Qin army attacked the Xiongnu in the north and attacked Nanyue in the south, consuming a lot of food stored in Guanzhong and Bashu. Since he became a general of the northern corps of Qin, of course, he could not continue to increase the burden on the elders of Guanzhong.

"The land of Hetao is fertile and irrigated by the water of the river, which can create the Heavenly Mansion of the Pass."

Ganlu pointed at Hetao on the map and nodded heavily.

In the past few days, Ganluo inspected the Hetao land in detail and found that it was actually very suitable for farming. The Huns only regarded this place as a grazing place, which was a serious waste of land resources.

"There are also many suitable places for farming in Henan. The general can write a letter to the current emperor and migrate to the mainland Guizhou to come to Xinqian to cultivate in the new Qin Dynasty, and at the same time, the Xiongnu people who stayed in Henan learned farming. In three years, the general's grain storage plan will be realized."

Thinking of this, Gan Luo felt a little hot. He was responsible for military farming and had a heavy responsibility, which was equivalent to managing the entire Xin Qinzhong. For him, this was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to exercise his internal affairs ability.

"Henan land and Hetao land can be reclaimed." Meng Tian nodded, "However, when reclaiming arable land, you must pay attention to prevent soil erosion."

The Loess Plateau more than two thousand years ago had lush grasslands and lush trees in many places. Compared with the Loess Plateau with ravines in later generations, it looked like two different things.

The ancients did not understand the harm of large-scale tree cutting to the environment, but what Meng Tian had to do was to teach the ancients the truth of soil erosion.

Three days later, a small hill ten miles south of Gaoque Pass was lined up with Qin army posts around it, and the guards were heavily guarded.

At the end of the Si hour, Meng Tian led Ganluo, Feng Wuze, Shangjun Governor Bu Xing and others to slowly climb the hillside.

The hillside looks very strange. The grass on one side is lush and dense. The grass on the other side is not sure where it went. It is bare and only a layer of glossy loess is exposed.

Behind the group, the soldiers of Yitun followed closely, holding not swords and crossbows, but wooden barrels filled with water.

"What do you want us to see?"

Walking in the middle of the team, Feng Wuze felt a little puzzled and asked Gan Luo quietly.

As we all know, Gan Luo came from a visitor to the Meng family and was deeply trusted by Meng Tian.

"The general wants to demonstrate the principle of soil erosion." Ganlu replied.

“Soil erosion?”

Feng Wuze looked puzzled and became more and more confused.

Everyone climbed to the heights, Meng Tian waved his hand to stop everyone's whispers, pointing to the bare side of the hillside and said, "I have seen it all. Don't look at the beautiful scenery of Xin Qinzhong, after removing the vegetation on the surface, there is only a layer of loess underneath."

As soon as he finished speaking, a strong wind suddenly blew. The exposed loess circled up in the direction of the wind and flew towards the foot of the mountain in the distance.

Seeing such a scene, the smart Ganluo felt like he was losing something.

Many people looked at one side of loess and the other side of grass, and seemed to understand something, but many people seemed to be distracted.

Of course, Meng Tian could directly issue an order to allow the officials below to protect the water and soil of the Loess Plateau. He just knew the reason but did not know why. If the people below did not implement it seriously, they would implement policies from above and countermeasures from below, which would be troublesome.

"Mengbao, you can start."

Meng Tian turned his head and nodded at Meng Bao.

Meng Bao immediately understood and directed the soldiers carrying wooden barrels to climb the hillside.
