The next morning, Yi Nan set out directly back to Xueyantuo's tribe. As for the 70,000 sheep, Huo Gang did not let them go back. Anyway, all the flocks of sheep were going to go back.

However, before they left, Huo Gang asked Huo Zheng to send fifty cavalry to follow him, with the purpose of not other than that, but to bring the pen and monument to find large stones around the current territory of Xueyantuo tribe to start carving boundary monuments.

The so-called boundary monument is not a direct engraving, which is too difficult. To be precise, it is just to engrave a Chinese character on it and then write it with a brush that this is a boundary belonging to the Han Dynasty.

This thing seems to be useless because the Turks don’t care about the territory, but when it’s useless, it’s really useless. But when it’s useful, this thing is a good thing to use to find faults.

Determining boundaries in this era is not like later generations, which provide accurate information such as latitude and longitude, etc., and all countries have agreed. In this era, the boundaries between major powers are determined by natural conditions, such as a mountain range and a river.

What to do with the grassland without boundaries? Well, Huo Gang is about to use the boundary marker. Anyway, he will carve it first, what if it is used?

The hammers and chisels for the boundary monuments are all fine steel products provided by the Industrial City. Huo Gang doesn't have to worry about these, but the large area currently occupied by Xueyantuo is from the Hangai Mountains in later Mongolia in the north, to the Badan Jilin Desert in the east, to the north of the Tianshan Mountains in the west, and to the west of the Altai Mountains.

This area does not seem important now, but if Huo Gang is preparing to move westward and northward in the future, it will be very important. Because further north of Xueyantuo, there is a large area of ​​primeval forest, which is the territory of later Russia, and not far north of Lake Baikal.

Now the entire Baikal is deserted, but it is not completely deserted. However, it is deserted and not lifeless. The vast primeval forest here is an important resource point, and there are other important resources here. If you can't use it now, you will definitely use it in the future.

No matter what era, forests are very important resources.

In addition, if Huo Gang advances westward, he can directly bypass the Tianshan Mountains from Xueyantuo's current territory and directly enter the bottom of the Junggar basal and Altay area.

So, no matter what, the boundary markers are engraved first. If they are used in the future, there is a reason to find faults, right?

These people probably won't be able to come back for a while, but Huo Gang is not in a hurry. The entire Xueyantuo tribe has scattered 200,000 herders in the entire Xueyantuo tribe are scattered on the huge land. If you want to migrate, you can't finish it in one or two days. Today, it's good that the migration will be completed in about three to four months.

As for whether to keep people there, Huo Gang doesn't care, because his most important goal now is to concentrate the population and explode productivity first. As for others, as long as you can explode productivity in this era, you will have enough troops to grab all these places back.

But before that, Huo Gang was going to the Industrial City to see how they got this token. Huo Gang was really curious because this token seemed to be forged.

Yi Nan and the others returned to Xueyantuo's tribe, and Huo Gang naturally headed straight for Ak City. As for Zhao Qi who was staying here, Huo Gang didn't care. He was just a businessman, and there would be more and more such businessmen in the future.

Although Zhao Qi was a little curious about the identities of the three people, because later Huo Gang and his friends entered Hewan Town, they all saw that the three people were not punished. They obviously knew General Huo, but they just didn't know who they were.

But Zhao Qi naturally did not dare to inquire about these things because he knew that he could not participate in this matter.

The reason why Huo Gang went to Ak City was because of what Li Ji said before leaving. Huo Gang wanted to take a look and solve the problem of Ak City by the way. The original role of Ak City has completely disappeared. The population here is about one thousand people, which is the population of a small town. The original caravans and merchants here have also evacuated one after another.

It is useless to keep it, its geographical location is pretty good, and the land in the nearby Huoci River Basin has been measured. If these people are willing, Huo Gang doesn't mind including them as well. If they don't, they can move away.

The distance here is not far from Ak City. Huo Gang is almost at full speed. Before Huo Gang's horse team could enter Ak City, the entire interior of Ak City was completely in agitation.

It’s not that they have seen Huo Gang’s cavalry, but since Huo Gang’s cavalry has never been here again since the last time Huo Gang came here to kill people, and this time, Huo Gang stepped here again.

After entering the city, Huo Gang ignored the eyes of the people around him and went straight to the only tavern in the middle of the city. When he arrived at the entrance of the tavern, Huo Gangle stopped the horse and turned over and dismounted.

"Gongsun Lin, send someone to inform everyone in Ak City to gather in the center." Huo Gang said.

"yes."

Gongsun Lin led the others to inform the other residents of Ak City, while Huo Gang walked into the tavern with his legs raised.

There were only two people in the tavern, one with gray hair and looked like a shopkeeper in his fifties, and the other was a guy of eighteen or nineteen years old.

When the two of them saw Huo Gang, they almost knelt on the ground at the same time and said, "The Caomin has seen the leader."

"Get up, the man will not kneel down. You must have heard of it." Huo Gang shouted them all.

"Are you Liang San?" Huo Gang asked after they got up.

The shopkeeper looked at Huo Gang, with a somewhat helpless expression, and nodded: "Yes, the grass-roots are Liang San."

"Well, someone told me yesterday that the shopkeeper of the tavern in Akcheng is interesting, so I'll take a look." Huo Gang nodded. Li Ji did say so to Huo Gang, and Li Ji said that the shopkeeper might be a hermit.

Since he is a hermit, he may be a capable person. As long as he is a capable person, Huo Gang doesn't mind coming to see him. Although Huo Gang has many talents in his territory, there are not many people who are truly good at administrative management.

Those who can take it out are Shi Wannian, Bosa, Mingyue, Wu Ping, Annuo, and Yang Laowu.

Like Sun Er and others, they are technical craftsmen, not managers.

To be honest, if it weren't for their prestige among the Turks, their management ability would not be possible.

If you talk to the outstanding literati of this era, maybe he can't talk to him about science, but if you talk about management, there are still many talents among these people. Do you think Huo Gang doesn't want to have his own house plan? The question is, if not, what can he do?

After hearing Huo Gang's words, Liang San smiled bitterly: "I wonder which noble man from the Tang Dynasty was who could see the leader? Why did he come here."

"It seems that Manager Liang is really not ordinary." Huo Gang was a little surprised. Li Ji told Huo Gang that this man didn't chat with him at all, but in this way, the other party could guess where Li Ji came from, and even the noble man said that his head was not very flexible.

"I'm sorry for the courage of the people. I wonder why the leader came to see the people?" Liang San paused for a moment, then simply raised his head and bowed his hand and asked.

"See if you are a talent. If you are a talent, I only use it here. The great man lacks talent now. Of course, I never force it. If you don't want to, just pretend I come to see Akcheng and deal with it here by the way." Huo Gang had nothing to hide, but spoke directly.

This is a matter of choice. Liang San doesn’t care what his real name is, he is willing to become an official, and Huo Gang doesn’t mind hiring people. If he doesn’t want to, then he will pull it.

Liang San immediately fell silent. He knew that this was a choice. He had been in Ak City for so long, but he knew everything Huo Gang did. He knew that this was an opportunity, and he also knew that with Huo Gang's character, he would not do anything like Liu Bei's three visits to the cottage.

That's because Zhuge Wolong is a timely helper than Liu Bei, and compared to Huo Gang, he is not even adding icing on the cake. At best, it can only be considered as helping Huo Gang solve a little trouble.

But if there is any choice, who would like to stay in such a city and do nothing?

After a long time, Liang San took a deep breath and said decisively: "For the leader, Liang is not called Liang San. Caomin is originally named Liang Shuo. He was once the Minister of Personnel of the Daliang King. Later, because he was incompatible with An Xiuren, the Minister of Rites of the Daliang King, then, he was framed by him. Li Gui, the King of Daliang, wanted to poison me to his home."

"Later, when I learned the news and came to deliver the letter in advance, I was able to escape. I went to this Western Regions. Li Gui didn't know that I was not dead and had never chased him. Later, An Xiuren joined hands with his brother An Xinggui to cooperate with the Hu people to kill Li Gui and surrender to the Tang Dynasty. An Xinggui was even more able to go back."

Huo Gang was a little surprised. Unexpectedly, this was really a big shot. Perhaps Liang Shuo was not as good as Fang Xuanling and others, but from his experience, he was obviously a person with some skills. Otherwise, he would not have been able to become Li Gui's Minister of Personnel.

"Since Mr. Liang is willing to confess this past, he must be willing to agree to my invitation. In this way, I still lack a person who checks for omissions and formulates relevant official systems. I wonder if Mr. Liang is willing?"

"Thank you, the leader, I am willing, but I may need to study for a few days first to understand the current situation of the leader's territory." Liang Shuo also agreed happily.

"Well, yes, I will ask someone to arrange it. In this way, you don't need to open a store. If you give it to someone, you will decide whether you should take whatever you want." Huo Gang looked at the 18 or 19-year-old young man next to him and said.

"Thank you, the leader. I have nothing to do with you. This is the orphan I adopted back then. My name is Liang Fei. I also know the words and follow me as a errand to pass on the message." Liang Shuo pointed to the young man next to me and said.

"Yes, yes." Huo Gang nodded. Now, for him, anyone who knows literacy has some useful things.
