Chapter 1381 Investigation

Around Yuancheng, Zhou Xu had a secret investigation, and even mixed in the crowd to attend a ceremony. Then he found that under the operation of the state religion, the atmosphere here was unexpectedly good and the people's cohesion was also very high.

At the same time, storytellers are also playing a role in restaurants, restaurants and tea shops on the street, and almost all the decrees and news issued on it can be conveyed unimpededly.

After some inspection, Zhou Xu was satisfied.

"Let's go, Xiao Li, go and arrange it, it's almost time for us to leave."

Hearing this, Shi Lei's personal soldiers, who were accompanying him as a guide throughout the whole process, hurriedly said...

"Then I will inform the general now."

"No."

Zhou Xu waved his hand.

"Let him do whatever he should do, and there is nothing to ask him to come."

"yes."

After spending time together, Xiao Li, who knows their emperor, has not been slow at all at this moment and directly responded.

After riding a fast horse, the group passed through Shanguan City, and officially left the New Taipei District.

The section of the road from Shanguan City to Anling City has been simply paved. Unlike the pure wild roads in the early years, it has widened the road surface and is much smoother, which can basically ensure that the carriages can pass quickly.

After all, as a modern person, Zhou Xu still knows the principle of "If you want to be rich, build roads first".

If this road is not broadened, the development of New Taipei District will only be worse than it is now.

Walking on this road, Zhou Xu's eyes were constantly looking at the stretching mountains along the way.

To put it bluntly, the two areas of New Taipei District and New South District were divided into two by this mountain.

They had already completed the preliminary exploration of this mountain long ago and collected all the primitive tribes living in this mountain.

But it is really impossible to determine what is inside the mountain at this moment.

Due to the limitations of the technology of the times, it is very difficult to carry out in-depth exploration and mining work on this mountain.

Not to mention that they are now, even in modern society, it is a big problem to develop and build in the mountains.

He will definitely not be able to build a mountain city now. Technical strength is second to the main reason, mainly because he doesn’t have so much manpower and material resources, and he still has time.

With so much money, he will vigorously develop the southern, northeastern, or volcanic islands. Which one is not more reliable than fighting against a mountain city?

It’s even true that after so many years, the mountainous areas are still the same villages, and they have not developed vigorously yet, so it’s not the turn here.

However, the outposts on this mountain still need to be established.

This is an internal arming issue.

Suppose that New Taipei District is invaded, even if it is halfway, the enemy army will have the possibility of avoiding the pass of Shanguan City, or the triangular defense behind it, and directly crossing the mountains and invading the New South District.

I can't say that it's okay now, so I won't do this.

When something really happens, if you think about building this stronghold outpost, how can you still have time? The enemy rushed in directly!

Long before Zhou Xu led his army to the expedition, the project of setting up multiple mountain strongholds on the mountains here was already on the agenda.

[Count the time, is this project time going to start this year? 】

After all, he is leading troops out now, and he really doesn't know that the specific progress of many projects.

During this process, the group successfully arrived in Anling City and entered Xinnan District.

There has not been much change in the New South District. After all, in recent years, the focus of their Great Zhou development has been in the southern and newly developed Northeastern regions.

With relatively limited labor and resources, the development of other regions must be slow first.

However, this has little impact on the New South District.

After all, before this, the focus of their Great Zhou development was the New South District, and now it is also a key place for the economic development within their Great Zhou.

Without saying anything else, the prosperity is indeed not comparable to that of New Taipei District. This can be clearly felt as soon as you enter Anling City.

In the early years, Anling City was not developing well because it was a border city here.

However, with the annexation of the Liang Kingdom by the Great Zhou Dynasty and becoming the New Taipei District of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Anling City transformed into a trade center that directly connected the New Taipei District and the New South District, quickly driving the trade development of a whole city.

The overall development progress suddenly surpassed Xishan City, Heishi City and Huangsha City, which had been better developed, and ranked among the forefront in Xinnan District.

If you want to go to Heishi City to rest in the middle, you have to take a little bit of a road. Zhou Xu had no plans and took the shortest route directly and rushed towards Green Forest City as fast as possible.

Compared with the remote New Taipei District, due to the direct waterway of New South District, Zhou Xu would come to inspect from time to time. He is relatively familiar with the situation here, so he has no intention at this moment. It means to stay more.

The main reason is that he wants to return to Black Moon City before the summer begins.

On the way through Green Forest City and towards Green Forest Port, Zhou Xu finally saw a new change.

It's the rails! The laying of railway tracks from Xinnan District to Xinbei District has finally officially started!

This has been put on the agenda for a long time, but due to internal financial issues, it has been appropriately postponed.

The starting point of this railway is directly outside the Green Forest Port.

Green Forest Port can be said to be one of the most important ports in the Great Zhou Dynasty, connecting the economic development of Black Moon City, the southern region and the New South District.

Basically, a large amount of supplies are transported here from other areas every day, and a large amount of supplies are also delivered from Green Forest Port.

The starting point of the railway is located here, which can directly connect to the port's shipping, greatly improving the overall transportation efficiency.

Of course, the current railway tracks have only passed through the canyon outside the Green Forest Port and paved to the outside of the Wood Elf Village.

According to the original plan, the first railway track route here starts from outside the Green Forest Port, paves all the way out, passes through Green Forest City, sets up a station on the Black Stone City, and then passes through Anling City and arrives at Shanguan City. Shanguan City continued to extend outward, setting up a station in Yuancheng, and finally arrived at the Plain Fortress.

A total of five cities along the way, directly connecting the transportation routes between New South and New North Districts.

Of course, considering the situation in New South District and New North District, Zhou Xu and relevant departments have analyzed earlier that this route cannot be purely military, and is mainly used for the development of these two areas.

Therefore, on this line, they also set up stations for some cities along the way without detours as much as possible so that the railway can be paved and provide more convenience and benefits for the development of these cities.
