Everyone sat upright, everyone understood what industry meant, and they also knew that this was the focus of their next work, they knew that the establishment of industrial zones, and the emergence of cement also made them understand how important industry is.

"First, the first step is to use cement and concrete to rebuild the entire Yumen Pass, expanding the current city wall to two or three thousand meters square." Huo Gang first expressed his first goal.

"General." Annuo, who was below, spoke immediately.

"Well, you said." Huo Gang nodded.

"I think that although Yumen Pass is our starting point, Yumen Pass is too close to the Tang Dynasty. Although we may not have conflicts with the Tang Dynasty in the future, we are not afraid of ten thousand, but we are afraid of if we are not afraid of it. Whether it is the Tang Dynasty, the Former Sui Dynasty, or the Han Dynasty, we have never given up on the Western Regions."

"If the Tang Dynasty advances westward in the future, our current position will be the first to be affected. Since the general wants to take Gaochang and Yanqi, should we place the capital in Yiwu? Its position is obviously better?" Annuo said seriously.

"I agree with Chief An, Yumen Pass is too close to the Tang Dynasty unless we take Dunhuang down." Wu Ping next to him also spoke for the first time.

Amatuo and the others didn't speak because for them, the gains and losses of a city and a place have never been important, so the Turks could not understand the importance of the city.

"Where are you?" Huo Zheng looked at Huo Zheng and others.

"General, I will have the confidence to defend our territory." Huo Zheng took the lead in speaking.

"General Huo Zheng, it's not that we don't believe in you, but if we have a conflict with the Tang Dynasty, there is no need to enter the decisive battle mode directly at the beginning. If we put the capital in Yiwu, we have enough strategic space. How did General Gongsun defeat Ashiye? I believe you should understand General Huo Zheng." Guo Ming next to him suddenly spoke and added.

"Sorry, Old Man Amatuo, it's not targeting you." After saying that, Guo Ming apologized to Amatuo and the others again.

"It's okay, Mr. Guo is talking about the facts." Amatuo said with a smile. He was not a glass heart, so he naturally accepted this. Even Amu next to him had no change in his expression, because Annuo was talking about the facts.

"If the general wants to regard Yumen Pass as the capital, it is not impossible." Wu Ping thought for a while and suddenly added another sentence. Although Wu Ping agreed with Annuo's words, he also knew why Huo Gang wanted to build Yumen Pass.

Because of the existence of Yinmahe and Xianquan, it is impossible for Yumen Pass to give up. The reason why Wu Ping agreed just now was to throw out the bricks and attract jade. He first brought out everyone's doubts, and then expressed his plan.

"Mr. Wu, please tell me." This time it was Annuo who spoke.

"We just need to build Yumen Pass into a city that never falls." Wu Ping said straightforwardly, "I believe you all know about cement. The existence of cement means that our speed of building the city wall is far beyond the imagination of others. To build the same city, our speed is the countless others."

"As long as our city wall is tall enough, you should know that it is almost impossible for those engineering equipment to break through our city wall, whether it is the Tang Dynasty or other things." Wu Ping looked at everyone.

"As long as the city is not captured by the enemy, then General Gongsun, General Huo Zheng, and General Ma Yuan still have a lot of room for maneuver and strategic conflicts."

Wu Ping said this, and everyone looked at each other. This was indeed a solution. It was difficult to siege cities in ancient times, especially when some big cities wanted to siege cities, they only needed to have an absolute advantage in human life.

When siegeing the Central Plains, most of the siege equipment was directly built by cutting down timber on the spot. In the Western Regions, there were not so many forests, and the transportation of strategic materials here was also a problem for the Tang Dynasty.

In fact, the only one who could threaten them was the Tang Dynasty. Whether it was the Eastern Turks or the Western Turks, they were even less good at siege. In fact, whether it was the Eastern Turks or the Western Turks, they had to consider it now.

Others definitely don’t see Huo Gangyuan. First of all, the Eastern Turks cannot cause trouble for Huo Gang. The Eastern Turks and the Western Turks both think that each other is mortal enemy, and even the Eastern Turks who have made enemies with the Tang Dynasty think that the Western Turks are mortal enemy.

Because they thought it very clearly, they thought that the Tang Dynasty could not go deep into the grassland to attack them, but whether it was the Eastern Turks or the Western Turks, they could go deep into the grassland to fight each other.

Now that Huo Gang is fighting the Western Turks, the Eastern Turks will naturally not come to fight Huo Gang, and Jie Li is not that stupid.

As for the Western Turks, the Western Turks' Tongyehu Khan is now in danger. If the Tongyehu survives, he will be killed by his uncle next year. Then the Tongyehu will inevitably be surrounded by dangers.

Therefore, Huo Gang defeated Ashiye for so long, and the Western Turks did not send troops to come. Not to mention the army, there was not even an envoy. It is conceivable how deep the internal contradictions of the Western Turks are now.

"It's because my subordinates are not considerate, what Mr. Wu said makes sense." Annuo bowed directly to Huo Gang and spoke.

"Actually, what you said makes sense." Huo Gang smiled, "But you forgot one thing."

After everyone was focusing, Huo Gang continued: "What makes the city indestructible is not how far the city is from the enemy, nor how high the city wall is, but the people's hearts and our own strength. As long as our strength is strong enough, even if our city does not have a wall, the enemy dares not invade us at all!"

"Yes!" Everyone said at the same time.

"Let's do this, I don't think you have a unified opinion, so I made a decision directly. This is the first five-year plan. We can set the five-year goal and work hard to complete it after we set it." Huo Gang said directly.

"Yes!" Everyone looked at each other but had no objection.

"Then the entire city wall is built at a height of 3,000 meters, with a height of 18 meters, a top width of 15 meters, and a bottom width of 18 meters." Huo Gang directly expressed the standards of the city wall.

"General..." After hearing Huo Gang's data, Annuo couldn't help but speak.

"You wait first." Huo Gang knew what he was going to question, so he waved his hand first and continued: "In addition, we must rebuild the checkpoint in Yangguan and support each other with Yumenguan. Yangguan does not need to be built as big as that. The city wall of Yangguan is temporarily built at a length of one thousand meters square."

"In addition, we must build concrete-based concrete roads from Yangguan and Yumenguan, Yangguan and Industrial Zone, as well as roads from Loulan and Yiwu."

"At the same time, all residents must set up settlements. In the future, our people will not be nomadic, and strive to allow every ordinary person to live in concrete-built houses."

"When Yumen Pass and Yang Pass are renovated, they must establish a complete groundwater system and build public toilets and other related measures."

"In addition, we want to build a large coal mine, large iron ore, and steel mill, and strive to achieve an annual steel output of 30,000 tons next year." Huo Gang simply finished all the plans he had planned.

However, after Huo Gang finished speaking, everyone in the room was stunned because... in their opinion, Huo Gang's plan...is this a five-year plan? I'm afraid it's not a fifty-year plan. This may not be completed within five years of construction of the Yumen Pass city wall.

"Okay, this is an industrial plan. If you have any questions, just tell me."

"General... I'm not questioning you... It's just... the length of the three thousand meters of Yumen Pass is 18 meters high and the ground is 15 meters wide at the top and 18 meters wide at the bottom. This number... is more majestic than the current Chang'an City wall. Even if we use all our manpower and material resources, it will probably be difficult to complete it within five years, let alone you have to build Yangguan, pave cement roads, etc."

"If we had a million corvee service that could be used, it would definitely be done, but our current population is at best only 200,000." Annuo was a little amused and crying.

He was very clear about the data in these aspects and also about Chang'an City. The city walls Huo Gang said were much more majestic than Chang'an City, and such a plan was simply impossible to complete in Annuo's opinion.

"Do you think so too?" Huo Gang smiled and asked at the others. Although there are indeed many projects, in fact, they are not as many as imagined. Of course, according to the ancient method of corvee construction, it is absolutely impossible to complete. In five years, the city wall alone is difficult.

But with the same result, these ancient people would not know how powerful human power is!

"Yes." The others looked at each other. Although they didn't want to admit it, they felt that Huo Gang's task was really difficult to complete.

"In this way, the plan is formulated first, and we will work hard first. As for whether it can be completed, we will say something else." Huo Gang said with a smile.

Everyone looked at each other. Since Huo Gang said that, they naturally would not have any other opinions.

"Then the agricultural plan, within the first five years, we will open at least one million mu of land to maintain our self-sufficiency in grain. You don't have to doubt this. I have provided Wu Ping with immortal seeds. The output of these grains is enough to make all of us full and more than enough. In addition, we must first expand the alfalfa planting area."

"You are doing well in this at present. As long as the area of ​​alfalfa is expanded to a large enough range, it means that the number of cattle and sheep grazing personnel under our name can be reduced and more people can be freed up for other work." Huo Gang said seriously.

One hundred thousand people are a huge number. Take the city wall of Yumen Pass for example. The 18-meter-wide foundation is calculated based on the depth of 3 meters. Digging 1 meter long means 54 square meters of soil. An adult man should be easy to dig 3 square meters of soil every day. This calculation is only 18 days, and an adult can dig one meter long.

If 100,000 people are together, the foundation will be completely dug in just 18 days.

In fact, everyone's working speed is different. It may be longer than this, or it may be less than this, but the difference is not big. Of course, it is impossible for 100,000 people to dig soil at the same time. In fact, Huo Gang has a good way to build the city wall. It is impossible for them to use concrete all of them, which is too luxurious.
Chapter completed!
