Construction in the city was very fast, and soon enough houses were built, and the first 20,000 families finally did not let them live in tents. More than 20,000 acres of land reclaimed outside the city were also planted with wheat, just in time for the first season of sowing. As for the new arrivals, more wasteland was opened for summer sowing.

In two months, the nine regiments of bandit suppression troops were simply crazy, and the bandits in Tongjiang Mansion were wiped out cleanly, which not only greatly improved the public order here, but also made Fang Xiaoyu make a small fortune from the savings of the bandits.

In the past two months, Fang Xiaoyu began to mobilize his own resources for the construction of Tongjiang Mansion, first of all, most of the technicians trained by the iron and steel mills and machinery factories in Luoyun Mountain were transferred, and together with some dwarves transferred from the northern subcontinent, they opened a smelting and machining factory in a vein in the Great Hengduan Mountains. With Fang Xiaoyu's scanning area of 6,000 kilometers radius, it is enough to cover half of the Eastern Continent, so it is naturally not a problem to find a vein. With the best quality iron ore and coal mines, in addition to the establishment of mines, but also the establishment of a series of heavy industry systems that rely on steam engine power, such as steel mills, steel products factories, machinery manufacturing factories and ordnance factories, of course, the construction of these will be carried out slowly, Fang Xiaoyu asked them to install part of the equipment and start a part, slowly expand production, with a large number of skilled workers trained in Luoyun Mountain in the early stage and the equipment support in the Xiaofeng Heavy Industry Equipment Depot, the construction speed is still very fast.

The reason why Fang Xiaoyu built heavy industry first instead of light industry with quick results was because he wanted to build a railway. The railway is known as the artery of the country and the blood vessel of the economy, it can not only speed up the circulation of commodities, but also enable the army to achieve the purpose of rapid deployment, and can greatly strengthen regional control; even a Tongjiang province has nearly 80,000 square kilometers, if you rely on the troops to defend everywhere, your own more than 10,000 troops are simply not enough.

The railway had not yet been invented at this time, and Fang Xiaoyu not only let Xiaofeng study the train, but he also had the advantage of knowing the future development direction of the road. With such a big advantage, Fang Xiaoyu did not take a detour at all, not only directly asked the railway to lay a solid foundation and use strong cement sleepers to prepare for the speed increase after the locomotive performance was improved in the future. It is also directly on the broad-gauge train to increase the carrying capacity, so as not to start using narrow gauge like Europe in the nineteenth century, and then change to broad gauge, which wastes a lot of resources.

Fang Xiaoyu's first railway was the one that started from the industrial area under the mountain range through Tongjiang City to Baihua Town on the border of Luhai County. The railway was not long for less than 500 kilometers, and could only be regarded as a training force for the new railway construction team, although everyone was novice, but with the close cooperation of dwarven technicians and a large number of laborers, the construction speed was very fast, there were more than a dozen thousand-ton hydraulic presses prepared in advance to roll the rails, and the materials for the construction of the railway were also supplied as much as possible. In the next step, Fang Xiaoyu plans to extend the railway to the other four prefectures, relying on the convenience of the railway to control the land as soon as possible.

The orphans led by Lin Feng arrived with the teachers that Wu Yu had recruited from the Western Continent, and Fang Xiaoyu was ready to rely on these people to open a school and organize all the school-age children in the whole province to go to school. The older orphans had already begun to play a role under Fang Xiaoyu, and they formed a new administrative structure with the old subordinates gathered by the East China Tour, as well as some of the stewards of Lanting Villa. The science enthusiasts from the Western Continent, who had just arrived from Wu Yu, and the original scientific and technological personnel of Lanting Villa established the China Collar Academy of Sciences, and first set up a simple laboratory in Tongjiang Fucheng, and as for the experimental equipment, Xiaofeng, who had scanned a circle from the Western Continent, could supply all of them.

The Iron Blood Army began to expand its army again, and the troops made up the establishment of an army, one of which was used to garrison the Wild Continent, one division was scattered in Fang Xiaoyu's various industries and escort forces as a defense organization, and the most elite first division was stationed in Tongjiang Mansion City under the personal leadership of Fu Mingcheng.

Now Tongjiang Fucheng has become the center of Tongshan County, and the Chinese government led by East China Bank has been initially established, although most of the personnel have no political experience, but fortunately, the area under control is not large now, and you can learn slowly. Before Fang Xiaoyu's arrival, the entire Tongjiang Prefecture had a population of 100,000 households, but 90% of them were scattered in villages and towns, and there were only more than 30,000 households living in the prefecture and city, plus the immigrants who had just arrived. Another thing to pay close attention to is education, there are more than 30,000 school-age children in the city plus the 20,000 orphans that Fang Xiaoyu used to collect, these children have all settled in the city, Fang Xiaoyu used the teachers recruited from the Western Continent and the empire to open thirty primary schools, so that these children can go to school for free.

In order to vigorously develop education, Fang Xiaoyu stipulated in the territory that children under the age of 15 must be enrolled in school or education tax will be levied. For children who are enrolled in school, the school will provide three meals, and the cost of the meals will be borne by the lord. As soon as this regulation was issued, the school's enrollment rate immediately reached 100 percent, and as for the children scattered in the countryside, Fang Xiaoyu provided them with accommodation, was taken care of by special teachers, and could go home during holidays every month. Now that the railway and heavy industry zones are stepping up construction, and there are special personnel in charge of urban reconstruction and land reclamation, Fang Xiaoyu, who has been idle for a while, is ready to go out in person.

Fang Xiaoyu's first target was the territory of the dwarven tribe. Before leaving, he handed over the military affairs of Tongjiang Prefecture to Tobul, and the government affairs to the East China Bank, and Qian Huiqiang, who studied engineering construction, was responsible for the construction of the city and the railway. After all the arrangements were made, Fang Xiaoyu took two hundred Elves such as the Iron Blood Army, El and some dwarves led by Browning's Hammer to embark on the road to the Northern Subcontinent.

The 1st Division of the Chinese Leader was extremely efficient in suppressing bandits, and they had completely cleared away the bandits in Tongjiang Province and Gannan Province, and several units were concentrated in Baoshan Prefecture, the capital of Tongshan County, to suppress the bandits. Fang Xiaoyu passed through Tongshan County safely with people without encountering bandits, firstly, because the wind is tight now, most of the bandits dare not show their heads, and on the other hand, it is also Fang Xiaoyu's group of people, who are numerous and equipped with rifles, so that those bandits who even use muskets as treasures do not dare to come to fight hard.

The border of Tongshan County is a large area of hills, with a total area of more than 300,000 square kilometers, and the area is almost the largest county of the Empire, and in this hill is the location of the underground palace built by the dwarves. Led by Browning's hammer, they walked for two days until they reached a particularly tall hill in the center of the hilly terrain. The Browning hammer was pounded in a hidden cavern, and a secret door opened from the middle of the hill. Fang Xiaoyu followed the Browning Hammer through the secret door, and walked into the dwarf's house little by little. The Browning Hammer walked in front with torches, followed by Fang Xiaoyu and the Predator warriors, and behind them were some dwarven craftsmen who followed. Originally, Fang Xiaoyu brought a lot of barrels of thyme wine, but the cave was not wide enough to travel in a carriage, so they had to carry it on their shoulders, but fortunately, the dwarves were born with divine power. Each dwarf carried a two-hundred-kilogram barrel effortlessly, saving Fang Xiaoyu a lot of trouble.

The dwarf's underground palace is more cumbersome than the tunnel in the movie tunnel war, people who don't know the road will never be able to get out, and the tunnel is fifty kilometers underground, Fang Xiaoyu feels that this underground fortification is enough to be used as an underground shelter for nuclear warfare as long as it is reinforced with cement. After walking a long way, they followed the Browning Hammer to a hall with countless iron-making furnaces, and many dwarves were sweating and forging the iron in their furnaces. Seeing these dwarves, Browning Hammer shouted excitedly, "Brothers, I'm back." ”

The sound of the Browning hammer reverberated through the hall, and the dwarves cheered loudly and excitedly when they looked up and realized that their beloved patriarch had returned to the tribe. An old dwarf with a beard that dragged to the ground walked slowly and said, "Patriarch, you have finally returned, and you will not leave again this time." Browning Hammer said, "No, I'm here to pick you up this time, and we can finally enjoy the good food and wine and the land under the sun." Hearing Browning's hammer, the dwarves began to whisper. The old dwarf said: "Patriarch, I want to know what Lu Dao is for. The Browning Hammer pointed at Fang Xiaoyu and said, "It's him, it's this generous young man, he bought my freedom, and he will also guarantee the equality of subhumans and humans." The old dwarf followed Fang Xiaoyu and said, "Young man, what do you have to guarantee our rights?" Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Just because I am the new Chinese lord of the Lanfang Empire, the entire Tongshan County will be my territory in the future, if you want, this will also become my territory, I will protect you from anyone, and protect your right to live in the sun." ”
