Li Ji was not polite at all, but Feng Gui didn't care. He laughed and said, "Brother, you can tell that you are not the one who suffers when you look at your face. The reason why I say that Chief Huo is the only one who can stabilize is because of these Turks."

Feng Gui pointed to the Turks who were working.

"Oh? What do you mean by this? Please give me advice." Li Ji asked immediately.

"Brother, although you are from Guanzhong, since you are doing business in Guazhou, Liangzhou, you should have heard of it. In the past, Turks often entered Guazhou and robbed?" Feng Gui said.

"Yes, I've heard of it."

"To be honest, I don't have any good feelings for these Turks. They are too cruel. However, in the Western Regions, I have been doing business for more than 20 years, and I don't say anything. In fact, those ordinary Turkic herdsmen are actually the same as our people in the Central Plains. They are very bitter and miserable."

"They really robbed, except for a small number of private soldiers led by some Turkic tribe nobles, most of the robbed Turks were ordinary herders who could not survive. If they did not rob, they could not survive, so they could only guns."

"I don't sympathize with them. My younger brother died in the robbery of the Turks. The reason I say this is because we Han people are actually the same. What should we do if we don't steal others when we can't survive?"

"My hometown is in a village in Guazhou. There is a river below us, and almost all the fields we plant are built on that river. Whenever the farming needs to be irrigated in spring, there will be a fight in several villages. Why? Grab the water! Without water, you can't plant the land, and if you can't plant the land, you will starve to death. What should you do to avoid starving people to death? Go grab the water, what should you do if the people in other villages? I can't think of so many."

"Because I can't even survive, I can't think about how others live. There are several people killed every year in the village. Although this is not a robbery, there is no difference in essence."

"Just like among these Turks, there are also many kind and good people. Feng Gui, I, had been in business in the Western Regions for more than 20 years. At least five times have been saved by these Turks. Do you think they are good people or bad people?" Feng Gui's tone was faint.

Li Ji listened silently. They often couldn't understand these things. In the first half of his life, Li Ji almost followed Li Shimin to conquer the world. How could he pay attention to these sufferings among the people?

"We are no different from them before. To put it bluntly, in order to survive, this is the only way. Whose fault is this?"

"But Chief Huo is different. He lets all the Turks survive, and not only let all the Turks survive, but also lets them live better. From here to Yiwu City, it takes about five days for our caravan. Yesterday we entered the territory of the Han Dynasty. Today we walked forward for more than an hour, and there will be a rest station in front."

"The one selling milk tea is my former life-savior. His name is Tuerwu. He used to be an ordinary herder. He had about a hundred people in his family. However, one of his sons starved to death more than ten years ago, and the other son was beaten to death by a nobleman, but he could only bear it." Feng Gui drove the carriage and spoke lightly.

"How can more than one hundred sheep starve to death?" Li Ji was a little stunned.

"More than a hundred sheep were grazed for the Turkic nobles, and there were less than ten of them belonging to them. If one of the sheep died, they would have to make up one of them by themselves. Every year after grazing, they could only get some coarse grains distributed to them by the Turkic nobles, which could barely be enough for them to live and not starve to death."

"But the year was not good, and the sheep had no milk. His three-year-old son was young and could not grazed, so he could only feed some things. Because the adults had to work and had to eat, the youngest son was so hungry that he screamed. His brother couldn't bear it, so he secretly slaughtered a cub from a noble ewe. In this way, the Turkic nobles might not know that the ewe had cub."

"But they were not lucky, and they happened to meet the inspector sent by the noble, so both of his sons died. The youngest son was tied to a wooden stake in the wild by the Turkic nobles, and the other brother was beaten to death. Then all the sheep in their family were compensated for the nobles, and they had to continue to graze the nobles, otherwise they would kill their whole family."

"If my benefactor had not had a son, two daughters and his wife, he would have probably tried his best at that time, but he could not. He could only watch and just watched his son howled and starved to death in front of him. Finally, he buried his two sons with his own hands."

"Later, their tribe lost in the war, and the Turkic nobles were killed by people from another tribe, and he also became a person from another tribe, but his circumstances did not change, but the grazing Turkic nobles became another person."

"So, there is a saying among ordinary Turkic herdsmen that the sheep belonging to them is not theirs, but are ready to become those nobles at any time. Without herders, they can drink at most some goat milk, wild vegetables, and coarse grains rewarded by the nobles. No matter who the tribe follows or how many leaders have changed, their lives will not become."

"Go!" Speaking of this, Feng Gui shook the whip in his hand and shouted.

"What about now?" Li Ji felt a little upset when he heard this. Li Ji had seen all kinds of iron-blooded scenes, but he could not imagine that he had watched his son starve to death with his own eyes, and he also watched one of his sons be beaten to death. However, in order to save other children, he could only endure what it felt like.

He had killed Turks and Han people on the battlefield, but dying on the battlefield was completely different from this situation.

But he also knew that there must be something later, so Li Ji asked this question.

"Now, my life-savior is Feng Yuan. After the first time this post was established, I was a little surprised when I saw him. However, he told me that their leader Huo said that if a nation wants to last forever, it must learn to absorb the advantages of other nations. Leader Huo said that Chinese characters and Chinese are the best among all nations, so that they can learn Chinese characters and Chinese."

"So he asked me what surname should I give me. Later I told him that it would be better if you took my surname Feng. Then he smiled and said that his surname was Feng. His name was given to him by me, and his family's names were given to me. I also paid special money to invite an old man to give it to me."

"Now my benefactor Feng Yuan, his son has married a wife. Not to mention his marriage, his son also has two children. There are now six people in his family. After Chief Huo came, he confiscated all the cattle and sheep of the Turkic nobles, and then distributed the cattle and sheep evenly to all the Turkic herders."

"Of course, we can't say that we will give it to them. They will pay it back in ten years. Now each of them can get 3 sheep. The whole family has won a total of 18 sheep. They will get 48 sheep to Chief Huo in 10 years. The whole family is very grateful to Chief Huo." Feng Gui said with a smile.

"This... Although there are 10 years, there are still 48 more, right?" Li Ji was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding, why do you still have to thank you?

"Hahaha, brother, so you must be the one who does big things." Feng Gui immediately laughed a few times before saying, "Brother, you don't calculate the accounts like this. It seems that there are many 48 sheep! But my benefactor didn't have a single sheep before. The 18 sheep, 16 ewes, 2 rams I received, and five were little ewes, but I can still give birth to a cub in a year."

"Some of these sheep can have two children a year, but most of them have three children in two years, one to four lambs."

"Even if one is born every time, even if these 16 ewes have three children in two years, they will become 48 sheep after two years. In these 10 years, there will be more than 200 sheep. This has not been counted. The little ewe can basically give birth to cubs after one year of one. Brother, do you think if you give 48 sheep to Chief Huo in 10 years, is it more or less?"

"The key point is that these sheep will belong to them in the future! And not only that, Chief Huo also allocated 5 acres of land to each of them. According to my benefactor, the land allocated to them was the land blessed by Chief Huo. Not only can they grow alfalfa, but they can grow more than two feet high. Basically, two or three acres of land are enough for their dozen sheep to eat!"

"The remaining alfalfa can be prepared from summer to dry grass, and the sheep will not lack fodder in winter. Sheep do not lack grass, and the cubs can basically survive. Chief Huo said that whether it is land or sheep, they will be their own in the future."

"It is said that these lands can be reclaimed into fertile land next year. They will be allocated seeds to let them learn to grow grain by themselves."

"And not to mention this, my benefactor's daughter-in-law is now grazing at her home near Huoci River, and her son works in the factory of Chief Huo. It is said that he can get a salary of one kilogram of grain in a day."

"My benefactor sells some milk tea, grain and other foods at this inn every day, and he has a surplus every month. In this year, they can even make the food for next year, not to mention that the sheep came in vain."

"You say, what is the status of a person like Chief Huo in the mind of my benefactor?" Feng Gui asked with a smile.

"That must be very high." Li Ji paused for a moment and spoke decisively.

"Yes, my benefactor said that when the Khans fought in the past, they would not go there if they could not escape. However, if their leader Huo recruited soldiers to fight, even if their whole family fought, they would never take a step back."

"But unfortunately, Chief Huo doesn't seem to have to fight with them, otherwise, my benefactor will definitely let his son fight with the leader."
