When the white wolf followed Li Wen to the battlefield, the eagle knelt there, trembling.

Compared to the unfortunate creature pinned to the ground, the eagle was relatively lucky; he only had one arm injured.

Of the army of over a thousand, fewer than two hundred survived.

Almost everyone who remained was injured.

Li Wen approached the eagle and looked at the trembling herdsman chieftain before him, but his emotions did not fluctuate much.

Because he knew very well that nomadic tribes like the Azure Eagle, who couldn't see the bigger picture, were the majority in the Western Regions.

Only when you beat them until they are hurt and scared will they obey.

Therefore, Li Wen had no intention of wasting words with these people. Instead, he said to the white wolf behind him, "Please ask Chief White Wolf to help identify them. Kill those who are not members of the Shepherd Clan, and kill the leader as well."

The last two sentences were spoken by Li Wen to Jiang Tian.

Upon hearing Li Wen's cold words, the eagle on the field immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, saying, "General, we've been deceived! We didn't really intend to attack the Anxi army..."

Li Wen ignored the wailing behind him.

The remaining white wolf naturally cooperated with Jiang Tian's work. He now knew very well what the consequences would be if he opposed the Anxi Army.

When Li Wen returned to Anxi Town, the town's construction work had not stopped.

"Venerable One."

When Li Wen arrived near a workshop made of wooden houses, Huaihua instinctively knelt down to pay her respects.

For these women, Li Wen was like a god in their hearts.

It was Li Wen who rescued them from the abyss.

Li Wen helped Huaihua to her kneeling position and said, "Huaihua, I've said before that there won't be this kind of kneeling etiquette in Anxi Town anymore."

Li Wen first corrected Huaihua's mistake, then asked, "How's the training going?"

Hearing Li Wen bring up serious matters, Huaihua smiled and said, "Your Excellency, the sisters who came to learn are all very dedicated, and everyone is very serious about learning handicrafts. I think it won't be long before we can start practicing."

"That's good."

At first, Li Wen was a little worried that these pastoral women might have difficulty adapting to this craft, but now it seems that they are very serious about learning.

However, Huaihua still had doubts, and she couldn't help but ask, "Venerable One, can this soap we make really become the best-selling product in the entire Western Regions?"

Li Wen laughed and said, "What, you don't trust my judgment?"

"Of course not!" Huaihua immediately explained, "But can we, these burdens, really make the kind of thing the Venerable One spoke of?"

Li Wen shook his head and said to Huaihua, "I told you, you are not a burden. Whether it's the women who worked in the workshops or the women in the canteen, they have all contributed to Anxi Town. Just like the canteen now, which brother of the Anxi Army doesn't praise it?"

"It's the same here at the soap workshop. As long as you follow the training procedures, the results will naturally be good."

Li Wen found the method of producing soap using wood ash online.

Although this soap is of the lowest grade and does not use modern technology, the advantage is that it can be made from local materials, and the workshops in Anxi Town can be completely self-sufficient.

Moreover, soap would inevitably become a best-selling product in the Western Regions.

The women here consider a pleasant scent to be beautiful.

Just as Li Wen and Huaihua said, as long as you follow the training process, making soap is not difficult.

"Your Excellency, I assure you that my sisters and I will complete the task you have entrusted to us."

"But we can't forget to rest."

After offering a few more reminders, Li Wen went on to inspect other areas.

At this time, Anxi Town was centered around the market, and the town's construction was beginning to take shape.

After the Black Stone tribe members received temporary identity tokens, their work enthusiasm increased dramatically. The Anxi army had to urge them to leave work every day, otherwise some people would work overtime without permission.

For the Blackstone herders, this is the only opportunity they will ever have in their lives to work and earn wages.

Although Blackstone is not as cruel as other herd leaders, he still concentrates the tribe's resources, which forces the herdsmen below to become dependent on the chief's assets, or they will starve to death.

Now, Anxi Town has given them an opportunity to earn money through hard work!

In particular, the wages were not low. As long as you worked hard for a whole year, you could buy your own cattle and sheep and no longer depend on the lord for a living.

Hard work pays off!

This result alone has filled the Blackstone Shepherds with motivation.

After inspecting the entire town, Li Wen was quite satisfied with its current appearance and returned to his resting place.

After Li Wen returned, he first went back to the modern era through the double portal, and then brought back the drone whose battery had been depleted to recharge it.

After setting up the drone, Li Wen dialed Lao Zhou's number.

"Hello, is this Brother Zhou?"

"Haha! Brother Li, I haven't heard from you on the phone for days. Has another big business opportunity come your way?"

For Lao Zhou, Li Wen is now his lucky charm.

In Lao Zhou's view, Li Wen's promotion meant he had to take on more logistics staff, which is why procurement became so frequent.

Li Wen said softly, "Brother Zhou doesn't have any big deals this time. I'd like to order three thousand catties of salt."

Just as Lao Zhou was about to speak, Li Wen interrupted him, saying, "Hey, Brother Zhou, don't mention the free meal this time. I'm in the purchasing department. How am I supposed to reconcile accounts with the finance department if you don't take the money? The price for these three thousand catties of salt should be exactly what it should be. Send me the bill on WeChat."

Old Zhou gave a wry smile and said, "Hey, Brother Li, you're being too polite... Alright, I'll send it to you via WeChat, same old place, shall we?"

"Okay, I've already spoken to the security guard at the warehouse. You can just deliver it there; they have the key."

From the perspective of the industrial park, the frequent comings and goings of trucks at Li Wen's warehouse are normal occurrences.

No one noticed that Li Wen's warehouse was always a place where things only went in and never came out.

However, just in case, Li Wen still transported some special supplies to the orchard in Dashan Village.

After the orchard in Dashan Village was finished, the village chief came to help with great enthusiasm, only to find that Li Wen only had ten pigs in his pigsty.

The village chief was completely baffled, but he couldn't very well ask why Li Wen was raising ten pigs and running such a large orchard, since Li Wen had signed a long-term contract.

After arriving at the warehouse in the industrial park, Li Wen spent some time transporting the supplies and salt he had previously accumulated to Anxi Town.

The fields along the river near Anxi Town have been almost completely reclaimed, totaling nearly 2,000 mu.

After the Anxi army soldiers distributed enough fertile land to each other, there was still more than half left.

The remaining land was nominally registered in Anxi Town by Li Wen.

The plan is to keep land ownership in the hands of the government in the future, while issuing land use rights to the private sector.
