Li Wen's management approach to the nomadic lifestyle of the herders was quite simple.

No matter what mistakes the herdsmen made, Li Wen would only punish their representatives.

If Han Chinese were to manage nomadic peoples, the Han Chinese might not understand the nomadic peoples' customs.

But Blackstone and White Wolf, former leaders of the herdsmen, knew the herdsmen's customs best.

This method of letting heroes manage other heroes is the simplest and most effective.

The White Wolf tribe thus joined Anxi Town.

Li Wen agreed to accept the White Wolf tribe because the White Wolf was similar to the Black Stone and could learn and understand the customs of the Han people.

As for White Wolf's two allies, Li Wen had no intention of recruiting them.

Afterwards, they went on to rob other herders' elderly, weak, sick, and disabled people. This alone is enough to prove that their inherent wildness is difficult to tame and that they cannot be absorbed into Anxi Town.

The next day, Li Wen assigned a new task to the White Wolf and his people.

"General, please rest assured, although our people have only ever raised cattle and sheep, we should know how to raise pigs just as well, and we will take good care of them."

Li Wen shook his head and said, "This isn't a matter of whether I'm doing my best or not. Choose a few clansmen to come over this afternoon for training, and I'll personally teach you how to raise pigs."

what?

White Wolf was very surprised after hearing Li Wen's words.

In terms of combat and logistical support, White Wolf would not question Li Wen's professionalism, after all, Li Wen's achievements were undeniable.

But isn't raising pigs a bit out of place for a famous general like Li Wen?

With a mixture of belief and skepticism, White Wolf led his tribe to listen to Li Wen's lecture.

Li Wen spoke very professionally; he memorized all of Director Zhu's teaching content on the tablet thanks to his strong mental fortitude.

Raising pigs with modern concepts is a game-changer for people in this era.

The white wolf was stunned.

So there are special medications for livestock?

We also need to pay attention to temperature control?

...It turns out there's so much to learn about raising livestock.

In just one afternoon, White Wolf felt he had benefited greatly.

Over the next few days, Li Wen provided professional training to Bai Lang and the others.

Then they started letting them graze the piglets.

The piglets roam the Gobi Desert in front of Anxi Town, which allows the soil to be softened by the pigs' rooting habit.

Pigs can also clear away the roots of weeds.

What was originally an act that damaged the ecological environment is now considered as weeding in this Gobi Desert.

The pig manure and urine left behind can be used as fertilizer for the land.

In this way, pigs were raised in designated areas, and once the fertility of each plot of land was improved, the pigs were moved to the next plot.

Once the piglets grow up, they can not only become economic products, but the land they previously roamed can also be reclaimed into farmland.

This will lead to a continuous increase in the arable land area of ​​Anxi Town.

"General! General!"

While Li Wen was teaching Huaihua and the others how to process soap, the white wolf rushed over.

"What happened?"

Li Wen went outside and asked.

"General, today one of my people suddenly developed a high fever that won't go down, and he's been coughing non-stop. Our shaman can't cure him either..."

White Wolf recounted what had happened.

The incident began when a herdsman developed a persistent high fever and a severe cough in the middle of the night.

The white wolf immediately sought out their tribe's shaman for treatment.

The sorcerer first bled the man and then forced him to drink horse urine, but his high fever persisted.

Based on White Wolf's experience, this tribesman was basically doomed. However, Li Wen had told him before that he was now only a representative of the Shepherd Clan and had no right to control the life and death of his tribesmen.

In the past, he would have definitely had someone dig a hole and bury him, but now he has no choice but to ask Li Wen for help.

Li Wen was speechless after hearing what Bai Lang said, and also somewhat belatedly realized what was going on.

I forgot to stipulate that treatment should be standardized... Let's take this opportunity to establish an official hospital in Anxi Town.

After making up his mind, Li Wen asked the white wolf, "Where are your people now?"

White Wolf replied, "It was in the open space outside. I was afraid he would spread his evil energy to others, so I didn't bring it in."

Li Wen thought for a moment, then called Huaihua out and asked her to find a clean wooden house.

Huaihua had previously taught several nimble women to handle medical matters and had given them a short training.

"Carry the person inside the house."

"Also, from now on, your clansmen are forbidden from using any witch doctor methods to treat illnesses. If you are sick, come to Anxi Town Hospital... I will post a notice about the hospital later."

The symptoms were just a common high fever and infection, which were quickly stabilized with treatment of ibuprofen and amoxicillin.

On the contrary, the methods the witch doctor used to treat that person caused quite a bit of trouble, but fortunately the person survived and did not develop pneumonia.

Otherwise, if the pneumonia becomes severe, medication alone may not be enough to stop it.

Li Wen had prepared a lot of modern medicines, and their effects didn't need explanation. He just needed to tell the women Huaihua had trained how to use them.

If the symptoms were more difficult to treat, Li would ask Doubao for help.

Given the current situation in Anxi Town, Doubao is able to solve all the problems and difficulties for everyone.

While Li Wen was busy building Anxi Town, Heishi and the others finally arrived at Yumen.

Black Stone led a few of his tribesmen, posing as a Western Regions merchant caravan on business.

After passing through Yumen, they did not stop, but went directly to Chenyang County, which is 100 li east of Yumen.

This is a large city, and due to its geographical location, it has a strong commercial atmosphere.

Black Stone first found the post station and mailed out all the letters Li Wen had given him.

After completing the tasks Li Wen had assigned, Black Stone arrived at the market.

Western caravans were very popular in Chenyang County, with many merchants promoting their salt and iron products.

Black Stone asked several vendors about their prices out of curiosity, and when he heard that a bushel of salt cost at least two bushels of rice, he immediately realized that they were a bunch of shady merchants!

That's an expensive price!

Moreover, the salt they sell is not as good as the salt from Anxi Town!

If it weren't for the Great Zhou Dynasty's prohibition against private salt sales, Heishi would have brought some salt from Anxi Town to sell.

"No! We don't want salt! Do you have any other goods?"

Blackstone rejected the businessman's sales pitch.

Strange, doesn't a herdsman from the Western Regions buy salt?

The sun and wind marks on Heishi's face were impossible to hide; anyone with a little experience could immediately tell his profession. The merchant had no choice but to bring out other items to sell, including iron tools favored by the nomadic people of the Western Regions.

Blackstone glanced at it and found that the quality was far inferior to that of the products from Anxi Town, so he didn't even bother to ask the price.

"No! No! We don't want anything that's not good!"

The straightforward manner of the herdsmen annoyed the merchant, who retorted, "Hey! You barbaric herdsmen are looking down on things from our Great Zhou! Let me ask you, what kind of things do you consider good?"

Hearing the other party's question, Black Stone was not angry. Instead, he took out the supplies he had brought with him this time—instant noodles—from his package.

Black Stone hadn't originally planned to bring these instant noodles, but Li Wen persuaded him before he came, saying that bringing these goods could have unexpected benefits.

Blackstone never questions what Li Wen says; he chooses to execute it unconditionally.

Upon arriving at the market, Black Stone immediately observed his surroundings. He noticed that no one was selling "instant noodles," a luxury food... Although eating it every day could get boring, the first time you tried it, the taste would be absolutely amazing!

Black Stone understood Li Wen's intention in advising him back then.

General, you truly are the chosen messenger of the heavens; you can even foresee what will happen in the future.
