Li Ke feels that this is very possible. The Great Wall may not exist anymore. The Great Wall in later generations is mainly the Ming Great Wall, but there is no need to build the Great Wall in the Tang Dynasty now.
Naturally, Li Ke couldn't build a world wonder just for the sake of fame.
If he guides the Tang Dynasty to build railways and roads in the grassland in the future, these gravels will not be used, but he will tell the herdsmen through propaganda that these gravels represent the spirit of the grassland people, their beliefs, and their yearning for a better life. A time of determination and hope for future happiness.
The stone walls formed by these rubbles will only grow.
Anyway, when road construction first started on the grassland, it was definitely impossible to build concrete roads, and there was no need. At most, it is rammed earth, which continuously compacts the road and forms a road.
It is impossible to pave a gravel road. Gravel is easy to say, but sand is not that easy to prepare.
It is impossible to pave roads directly with these gravels. These gravels have sharp edges and corners and may break the tires that will be used in large quantities in the future.
As for the construction of railways, there must be standards for gravel, and most likely it will be professionally transported from further away.
However, even if such a thing seems meaningless in the end, in fact, the benefits it brings in terms of cohesion, belief, group effect, etc. are not lost!
After all, on the green grassland of the future, a stone wall spread all over the grassland like a spider web is very shocking, isn't it?
Maybe this will be one of the wonders of the Tang Dynasty in the future.
While the officials in Chang'an were shocked by this incident, one person in the northeast of the Tang Dynasty was a little troubled by this incident.
This person is none other than Shiwei's Khan, Gu Nawei Khan.
Although Shiwei is collectively known as Shiwei to the outside world, Shiwei is not like the Eastern Turks, nor is it like Xue Yantuo who is a whole and has a great khan. In later generations, Shiwei would be more like a federal country.
Shiwei is composed of four large tribes in total, and these four large tribes are composed of many small tribes. Therefore, Shiwei seems to occupy very rich mountains, forests, grasslands, etc., but it has never been strong.
The reason why Gu Nawei Khan was distressed was because his territory was close to Xue Yantuo. When Xue Yantuo became Hanhai Prefecture, the governor of Hanhai Prefecture sent someone to notify it.
As a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, it was definitely normal for the other party to notify them.
Gu Nawei didn't think much about it at that time. Of course, he must have had some ideas. After all, Datang had already told them why Zhenzhu Khan went to Datang and what benefits he got.
Tens of millions of dollars of wealth went to Chang'an to enjoy. At that time, Gu Nawei really wanted to curse.
The problem is that Tang Dynasty didn't ask him to go to Chang'an. Naturally, Gu Nawei couldn't take the initiative to say that he wanted to go, but what happened next was different.
Hanhai Prefecture began to carry out activities such as road construction and Obo construction. More importantly, the Tang Dynasty allocated cattle and sheep to all Xueyantuo herdsmen, and these cattle and sheep belonged to these herdsmen themselves!
All the cattle and sheep of the original nobles were divided!
Who the hell can stand this? In the past few months, he has received more than one report that many herders in his tribe have fled to Hanhai Prefecture.
After these herdsmen ran over, they became herdsmen of the Tang Dynasty directly in Hanhai Prefecture. They were also assigned cattle and sheep pastures there, and when they worked together, they were also given grain and salt!
As a result, in the past two months, nearly a thousand households of herdsmen have fled here!
Gu Nawei wants to curse! Pearl Khan is not a son of man! You went off to enjoy your fucking happiness, and ended up leaving us with so much trouble.
"Khan, I have an idea." A stout man said in Gu Nawei's tent.
This man is Gu Nawei's younger brother.
"Say." Gu Nawei looked at him angrily and said.
"Khan, if you are not prepared to be hostile to the Tang Dynasty, I think we should take the initiative to submit a letter and we also want to go to Chang'an?" the younger brother of Gu Nawei Khan said.
"Huh?" Gu Nawei was stunned for a moment.
"Khan, you see, the Zhenzhu Khan has a much greater status than us. Since he has agreed to this, it is obvious that the attitude of the Tang Dynasty is naturally very tough. No matter what the Tang Dynasty is like, Xue Yantuo and others It will only be a matter of time for our family to become Hanhai State."
"In this case, instead of the Tang Dynasty coming to talk to you, why don't you, Khan, directly submit the letter yourself. Then we will have to ask for a better treatment. If nothing else, Khan, you may be able to compare with the status of Zhenzhu Khan in the future. Here." Gu Nawei's younger brother said directly.
Gu Nawei Khan was stunned for a moment, and then he began to think deeply. He had to say that what his brother said made sense.
As for fighting, he had never thought about it, because it was impossible to fight. Shiwei's own four khans alone could not work together with each other, let alone target Datang.
Not to mention the Tang Dynasty, even their neighbor Goguryeo was no match for them. Goguryeo had eroded a lot of their land over the years. If they had not belonged to the Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo would have continued to occupy their land.
This is a good idea. If you take the initiative to vote for the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty the Khan will definitely treat yourself well, right?
At that time, the bitter cold land of Shiwei will be handed over to the Tang Dynasty.
Unlike Zhenzhu Khan, Gu Nawei is adjacent to Goguryeo, and the culture of Goguryeo is actually very similar to that of the Tang Dynasty. They basically speak Tang Dynasty dialect and write Tang Dynasty characters, and some cities in Goguryeo are also very prosperous. .
So Gu Nawei knew very well that these cities were much more comfortable than his home, so what was the use of staying here? Although the name is Khan, this thing does not bring any new enjoyment.
"Then I'll write a letter." Gu Nawei said simply. He had never thought of this before. His younger brother always liked to eat, drink and have fun, so this reminded him.
Although his original intention was probably to follow him to Chang'an, and he might not be able to get a lot of rewards, but in any case, he finally came up with a good idea for him.
After making up his mind, Gu Nawei Khan directly began to write the letter of credence, and then sent envoys directly to Chang'an.
This is not a difficult task.
Just by the time Gu Nawei's credentials were delivered to Chang'an, more than a month had passed. Chang'an, which is close to November, has entered early winter. Chang'an is particularly lively in winter this year, mainly because the latest farmland production has completely The statistics were calculated, so almost all the officials in Chang'an City this year looked happy.
The world has a good harvest. This is a happy event. Your Majesty will naturally be happy. When Your Majesty is happy, the officials below will naturally have a better life.
