Chapter 204: Inspecting Helan Mountain
Ten days have passed since that mysterious battle, and the nearly 13,000 people who died at the foot of Niujiao Mountain in Helan Mountain have all become white bones.
No one takes care of it, only the beasts to dispose of. Since then, however, it has become a gloomy cemetery. Here, a large number of corpses were buried.
After taking Helan Mountain, Sword Mantis and the others began to consider every piece of land in the Helan Mountain Range with great joy. The three of them, along the edge of the Helan Mountains, rode on the Netherworld Devil Horse, and they spared it for nearly a day. The Helan Mountains are far bigger than they imagined. It's even bigger than the previous Loulan.
And there are abundant products here, there is everything, compared to the Loulan Desert, this is simply a paradise on earth. Although the people of Loulan, who are accustomed to desert life, cannot change their habits for a while, no one will refuse better living conditions.
According to the requirements given by Meng Yifei in advance, the three of them had to draw up a detailed map of Helan Mountain, and they had to have a detailed estimate of where there was a water source, where there were species, the topography, the height, the density of vegetation and the species, and even the number of animals in each area.
Finally, the three of them spent nearly ten days to develop a relatively complete map for Meng Yifei. But even so, Meng Yifei was still not very satisfied, and it seemed that he had to go there himself.
"From the diagram you have made. The main source of water in Helan Mountain is concentrated in the central canyon plain, and even the Yellow River has to cross here. All tributaries are also extended by the Yellow River, so the Lingting, the capital of Loulan, was built here. ”
"Spiritual Court? What Spiritual Court? "After listening to Meng Yifei's words, the sword mantis felt that it made sense, but what was the Spirit Court.
"Your Majesty, our capital is called 'Ashalulah Beji Kastorey,' not the Spiritual Court." The sword mantis tilted its head to look at Meng Yifei.
As a result, Yifei directly smashed the map over: "Who remembers that there are so many names in your capital, I named it Lingting, and there is a lot of nonsense." ”
"Oh, oh!" The knife mantis touched his head and understood.
"Okay, let's go here first, and I'll tell you about the follow-up along the way." Yifei rode a horse, took Sangzi, and followed the sword mantis to Helan Mountain.
Along the way, he also analyzed a lot.
Judging from the map given to him by the sword mantis, the north of Helan Mountain is close to the Turks, and it is also the location of the Niujiao Mountain, and the further north it goes, the flatter the mountain becomes, and gradually lowers. The only section of the Yellow River basin that runs from south to north is here, Helan Mountain.
Therefore, Meng Yifei decided to develop the living area of the residents from the Lingting Court to the north, after all, the terrain is flat, and it is easier to establish a living residence, and he can't let the Loulan people live in the cave after they come.
To the west of Helan Mountain, it is the entrance of the Yellow River, and the terrain is relatively flat, so the living area is mainly biased towards the northwest region, relying on the mother river to survive, and powerful tribes and races have been born on the side of the Yellow River since ancient times.
And the east of Helan Mountain relies on Lingzhou Huaiyuan, and behind it is his Meng Yifei's territory, so there is no need to worry about it at all. This area began to have rolling mountains, and animals and materials are also very rich, so this is also the resource that Helan Mountain depends on for survival. However, there is a Yellow River in the middle, and the narrowest channel is more than 50 meters wide, and the current speed is very fast, so Meng Yifei may have to find a way to build a few bridges.
Finally, in the southern part of Helan Mountain, this is the highest mountain area, and there are many hanging cliffs, which are difficult for even monkeys to climb. Therefore, the south is a natural barrier, and there is no need to worry about any enemy invasion. In addition to this, there are many ores in the southern mountains, and the knife mantis they have even found gold ore veins. This is great news. With gold mines, there is money, you can trade with neighboring countries, you can quickly produce, and with some relatively modern knowledge of Meng Yifei, you can definitely reach a scientific and technological productivity that surpasses the current world level in just five years.
The smaller the country, the more it can be used perfectly, and the more it can concentrate on development. Many scientific and technological technologies can also be widely distributed across the country. The national level can also be balanced, and civil strife will not occur at least.
In this regard, Meng Yifei is quite satisfied, Helan Mountain deserves to be a perfect place, and it is right for him to get it at all costs.
After listening to Meng Yifei's analysis, everyone felt that it was very reasonable. The location where the Spirit Court was built should be that canyon plain. However, in their view, it is unlikely that it will be possible to develop at least ten years, mainly because of the lack of manpower.
Although Helan Mountain is not a very large country, a thousand people is too little, at least about 120,000 people. Therefore, there are definitely more than Loulan people in Helan Mountain, Meng Yifei may also introduce some people, of course, not yet.
Three hours later, Yifei and Sang Zi finally came to the canyon plain.
In front of me is a beautiful waterfall, rushing straight down, like a white cloth, stirring up countless waves, thick fog and hazy.
And under the waterfall, the sand of the Yellow River accumulates again, forming a flat plain. Coupled with the surrounding mountains, it forms a paradise. If there is a clear basin of the Yellow River, then it may be the only one.
The vast plain is nearly half the size of Chang'an City. Coupled with the capital built on the mountain, Meng Yifei can already think about his **, the terrain here is very similar to the Holy Helmet Valley he has seen in the Lord of the Rings movies, so his ** must also be full of nobility and domineering.
Meng Yifei was very satisfied with this. So he immediately took off his shirt and planted it on the land as a flag. Here, it's his **, the Spirit Court.
Then they made their way down the river to the north, and the road became smoother and smoother, except for the occasional hill.
After a day or so of investigation, it was not until it was almost night that Meng Yifei and the others walked to a place with more mountains. Further back, there was the realm that he was all familiar with, the realm that belonged to the death cemeteries of Niujiao Mountain.
"So far, I've calculated, according to the size of the capital of the ** Lingting, along the way, you can see two first-class capitals, that is, a city as big as the Lingting, and in addition, you can build five small cities." Meng Yifei analyzed the cities that could be built. In the case of a big city, it can accommodate about 50,000 people, but in fact, according to the number of people living in Chang'an City, it can reach 200,000 people. But the current population is far from enough. There are less than 1,000 people, so Meng Yifei will seek the consent of the Loulan people in the future and introduce other ethnic groups. In addition to the big cities, these small cities are also the size of the state, and their capacity is also about 20,000 people.
Therefore, this is a project, and in a short period of time, Meng Yifei will definitely not be able to complete it.
"Okay, everyone is tired today, let's rest first, tomorrow we will rush back and go to the south to see, the ore there will be our greatest help."
In addition to inspecting the construction sites in residential areas, Meng Yifei will also focus on these mines, especially gold, coal, salt mines, and so on.
As for the gold mines, I heard that the sword mantis has been discovered, and there are quite a few, so that they have the capital to trade with neighboring countries, and then they will be able to open up the trade routes of Loulan, and the gold mines will be the capital of rich countries.
As for coal mines, Meng Yifei believes that there must be coal mines in Helan Mountain, and even more salt mines. These are the most important things. Coal, in particular, has an unprecedented increase in productivity.
Now Meng Yifei still regrets teaching Gao Feiyang the method of secret salt, otherwise, he would still be able to do salt business across borders. Meng Yifei thought about extinguishing his mouth, after all, there are not many people who know the secret salt manufacturing method, and Gao Feiyang doesn't know it, only the few salt farmers who follow Meng Yifei to make salt know, but this is too cruel. So Yifei gave up this evil plan. Even so, he was able to make secret salt and sell it to neighboring countries, after all, Datang was not the only country.
So for tomorrow's trip, Meng Yifei is looking forward to it even more. As long as the resources of Helan Mountain are determined, then the next step is to wait for the arrival of the large army to start all the plans.
After the end of the war, Meng Yifei still did not have an easy time. The construction of Loulan not only uses brain power, but also consumes physical strength. Yifei only hopes that everything he has done will not be a dream. (To be continued.) )
