Regarding the new construction of cottages, Tangxi East is mainly divided into the following items:

First, the mining of iron ore found in San'in, in front of Luoliang Mountain.

Second, for the construction and reclamation of new towns on the other side of the official road.

Third, prepare all the necessary materials for the construction of the new city.

Fourth, in the process of construction, we will continue to develop new scientific and technological technologies and products.

The property of the cottage is still managed by Liu Lianqing personally, and the personnel are jointly responsible for Deng Dahu and Liu Dagou, after all, more than 7,000 people are not a small number, and Tang Xidong is preparing to mine iron ore, and the mining of iron ore is personally responsible for the old miner Tai Danian, who went up the mountain before, and the old and weak children left behind in the cottage are jointly responsible for the old people of the cottage such as Uncle Qi.

For the mining of iron ore, Tai Danian has made it very clear to Tang Xidong in the previous prospecting process, there is no place to settle in Shanyin, if it is excavated from Shanyang, it will take a lot of time and manpower, and it is possible to touch the shadow of iron ore after excavating hundreds of meters of cave roadway.

After understanding the arrangement of iron ore and the difficulty of mining, Tang Xidong decided not to carry out lateral oblique depth mining.

Rather, it is ready to be mined by way of drilling shafts.

Compared with the horizontal roadway, the shaft has many drawbacks, such as easy to collapse and easy to appear groundwater.

But according to the current situation, only such a method can be used, and Tang Xidong found that mining at the top of Shanyin also has many benefits, one is that there are more rock layers in Shanyin, and the soil layer is very solid, and the risk of collapse can be reduced a lot, and now the climate is arid and rainless, and there is a small stream at the foot of Shanyin that flows all year round, which must be connected to the groundwater layer in the mountain, which also reduces the risk of pulling out groundwater.

In any case, iron ore has to be mined, and this is a matter of a lot of work that follows.

So he sent more than 40 young men to Tai Danian, and after distributing the tools, Tai Danian began to lead people to start digging wells along the top of the ore veins he found before.

The shaft is relatively large, and the way to take it is to dig a large deep pit as far as possible, and then after supporting the deep pit, and then from the bottom of the deep pit, it begins to slowly close the hole, which can not only shorten the distance from the shaft to the ore vein, but also open the field for the people working at the wellhead, and effectively prevent the shaft from collapsing.

After finalizing the excavation plan on site, Tang Xidong handed over the work to Tai Danian.

And he personally led people to start field surveys and measurements at the foot of the mountain across the opposite side of the official road.

After all, if you want to build a new city, you don't want to do it casually.

The first step is to understand the geography.

So next, Tang Xidong took people and ten veteran members of the garrison team, and began to survey the mountains and forests with weapons and tools.

The mountain forest on the opposite side of the official road is very dense and vast when viewed from the top of Luoliang Mountain on the opposite side, and the dense forest should extend to the junction of the two mountains far away.

At the beginning, Tang Xidong did not enter the forest to investigate, but measured the distance of the outer circle of the mountain forest along the official road outside.

After a morning of going back and forth, the horses were tired, and Tang Xidong had a new understanding of this dense forest.

The distance of the outer circle of the mountains and forests was more than ten miles, and after measuring the distance, Tang Xidong began to contradict, both surprised and worried.

The surprise is that the construction of the new city is no longer short of land, and the worry is that according to the current ability, I want to directly enclose all the ten miles of mountains and forests into my own planning, and the small Luoliang Mountain is afraid that it will not be able to eat for a while, so it can only slow down the progress and slowly expand.

After measuring the outer circle of the mountains and forests, Tang Xidong began to lead people to explore the depths of the mountains and forests.

In this era, the mountains and forests are not safe, there are more wild animals than people in the mountains and forests, Tang Xidong took a hunter as a tour guide, but even so, he didn't dare to go too deep, and went deep into a mile or two, along the way hares, pheasants, snakes and insects, wild boars appeared one after another, and there were various animals that Tang Xidong had not seen in later generations, at this time, Tang Xidong knew that it was also very useful to see more about the animal world.

When there was a trace of a blind bear, Tang Xidong decided not to go deeper, and the appearance of large wild animals brought this trip to the mountains and forests to an end.

After retreating along the mountain forest, Tang Xidong did not compromise, but advanced along the foot of two small mountains sandwiched by dense forests.

It was much safer to walk along the foot of the hill towards the depths of the dense forest than to go all the way deep in the center of the dense forest, and it took three days for Tang Xidong to finally figure out the entire dense forest.

This dense forest forms a triangle between the two mountains, and from the direction of the official road, it looks like it is in an inverted triangle, the official road is the bottom of the inverted triangle, and the mountains on both sides are the two hypotenuses of the triangle.

The outer circle of the dense forest is about ten miles long, and the depth reaches the junction of the two high mountains for more than ten miles.

It is bigger than Tang Xidong imagined, and Tang Xidong knows that Tang Xidong can't eat it according to the strength of the current cottage.

According to the previous arrangement of Luoliang Mountain, Tangxi East decided to start the construction of the new city in the northern part of the dense forest relying on Beishan.

It is backed by the North Mountain on the edge of the dense forest, and extends deep into the dense forest to the south and west.

After the plan is decided.

Four or five thousand people from the cottage began to move, holding various tools, and began to set off towards the dense forest on the other side of the official road.

Only the hard-working company and mining team, as well as the elderly and children, were left behind in the entire cottage.

In groups of five, we began to cut down trees along the outer ring of the dense forest at the foot of the North Mountain.

The felled timber is arranged in an orderly manner in the field. More than 2,000 trees are cut down in one day, and the outer circle distance spreads directly to the range of two miles, and the depth is only about ten steps.

At this time, the rebel army in the north is attacking the city non-stop, the trade route is not passable, and there are no passers-by on the official road, but there are still many homeless people passing by, and the homeless people who fled the war in the south, looking at the posture next to the official road, there are many people who choose to join the cottage, so there are less than 100 people who join the cottage in one day.

In a week's time, most of the entire dense forest was cut down, and a two-mile radius appeared next to the official road, close to the north mountain.

There was a lot of movement in the cutting of the dense forest, and many wild animals were driven into the depths of the dense forest.

Deng Dahu and Liu Dagou also proposed that the organizers take advantage of this time to hunt, but they were stopped by Tang Xidong, these wild animals, he has a new plan.

Keep it for later use, animals don't come to disturb people, and Tang Xidong is not ready to kill for the time being.

After the large field within a radius of two miles was cut down, Tang Xidong first put down the work of expanding the territory at hand and prepared to enclose the land.

So he used the bricks burned day and night on the mountain and the stone masonry obtained from the excavation of the North Mountain on the spot, and still according to the specifications of the previous city wall at the foot of the cottage mountain, and began to build a city wall along the side of the official road.

But at this moment, a new situation arose that made Tang Xidong have to stop the construction of the city wall first.

The new situation is not bad news for Tang Xidong, but a great news.

So that the industry at hand in Tangxidong can be expanded again.
