[Iron Furnace Fort] is much farther than the last time Gu Yi went to [Shuihutun], especially to escort nearly a hundred heavy ox carts, each ox cart is set with two fat and strong big oxen, and there are also miners and people to help push the carts.

In this way, the big bulls were tired and foaming at the mouth, their eyes were blood-red, and they were snorting and snorting, which seriously delayed the speed of the swift people, and they walked for several days before they reached the [Iron Fort Fort], which was hundreds of treks (690 meters, equivalent to [li]) away from the [bluestone mine].

Because the urban agglomeration areas such as "city, fort, tun, village, dock, and gathering" of the Dayou Empire all followed the old system of the previous dynasty, the lower-level urban units were often scattered around the higher-level urban units in the form of satellites, so as to facilitate the supply of various resources to the higher-level units.

When the group arrived at the [Iron Furnace Fort] with difficulty, Gu Yi was once again stunned by the construction ability of the people in this world, the fort wall of five thousand feet high and three thousand wide (1 thousand = 230cm) was completely made of blue-gray hard stone, and the city wall was densely covered with a large number of enemy platforms, arrow towers and pheasant moats.

A large rushing river [潏水] meanders from west to east across the [Ironforge Castle] and artificially excavates a wide moat that surrounds the entire [Ironforge Castle], bringing in flowing water.

On the top of the water, you can see a huge square boat, round boat, is rolling sails into the city through the water gate, and there are large and small sampans and fishing boats cruising back and forth in the moat, so a prosperous scene!

On the land, the crowd of people and convoys of traffic passed through the wide stone bridge on the moat in an endless stream, passed through the inspection of the gate in an orderly manner, and after paying the city fee, they entered the city through the city gates.

Gu Yi was stunned like a hillbilly and slowly entered the city with the convoy, the look of looking around, but in line with his "mountain savage" background, after entering the city, dozens of meters wide avenue, shoulders and heels, bustling crowds, and the scale of the tall buildings that spread to the end of the eye, it was even more unbelievable to Gu Yi.

According to Gu Yi's own comparative division of the urban agglomeration area of this world, this [Iron Furnace Fort] is just a [county-level] unit that is only one level higher than the [town-level] Mintun in [Shuiwatun]? How could it have such a prosperous scene?

According to Ge Qiao, this [Iron Fort Fort] has a map in the city alone (48. 2 square kilometers) with a radius of more than 100,000 households, so in his original world, the scale of 500,000 or 600,000 permanent residents is definitely a medium-sized city, right? In this great wilderness, it is only a county-level city?

You must know that Lu Dao, this is not his original "three-dimensional city" in the world, far from so many high-rise buildings, and with the road conditions of the great wilderness, transportation and logistics conditions, can he feed such a dense population by relying only on water transportation?

Without waiting for the incomprehensible Gu Yi to take a few more looks, they and their party were taken by Gao Jie to the [Baoqu Camp] in the [Iron Furnace Fort] to settle down, like the [Baoqu Camp] in the city, which is the main garrison to protect the city, and the people are not allowed to enter.

Judging from the groups of heavily armed and alternately guarded fort guards on the city walls, it is clear that the towering and thick walls of this fortress are not only used to protect wild beasts and bandits.

And in this heavily guarded, vast Baoqu camp in the city, the formed military troops are obviously not only used to maintain law and order, patrol the streets and collect taxes, but from this point of view, the statement that the eastern border of the Great Wilderness [Zhongyouzhen] is in war is indeed not groundless.

After all, even the [Zhongrong County], a sinister place outside the border surrounded by three mountains and sealed and locked up, is already filled with such a strong atmosphere of war, which shows how much the inner basket of the [Zhongyu Raft] where the war is blazing has been eroded.

[Baoqu Camp] has been specially set aside an area to accommodate the "Jiutun Eighty-one Village" Karma Regiment under the jurisdiction of [Iron Furnace Fort] who came to participate in the Douqu Event, and there are also a large number of rural [Liwu] and [Liju] self-formed Karma teams, and the people are noisy and shouting, to the solemn and solemn place of [Baoqu Camp], making it as noisy and noisy as a vegetable market.

While waiting for Gao Jie to order someone to exchange the seal deed documents and wait to be arranged to settle in the barracks, Gu Yishao said that he saw dozens of incidents of fighting because of quarrels, which shows how prosperous the fighting style of [Zhongrong County] is.

Fortunately, in this camp that was opened up to house the Qiang people's team, a large number of forts were dispatched, and those unruly Karma people were quickly suppressed, and there was no trouble about bombing the camp.

[Bluestone Mine] is a public institution directly under the jurisdiction of [Iron Furnace Fort], but in fact, its status is far less than that of the Nine Hundred and Sixty-one Mintun under the jurisdiction of [Iron Furnace Fort], and it is only equivalent to eighty-one [Shu Zhai], after all, [Shu Zhai] is also a formal administrative unit with a permanent population of five or six thousand.

Although the [bluestone mine] also has the scale of thousands of mines, it is not a major tax-paying economy, and most of the ore produced must be handed over directly, and the rest of the ore sold in exchange for money and grain has to feed thousands of mines and hundreds of miners, as well as the fat worm of Gaojie.

With Gaojie's stingy temperament, he must be reluctant to spend money to dredge, so he was naturally not welcomed, and the harmful Gu Yi and others stood on the school field of the Qianren camp, and were watched by Baoqu for several hours, and then they were assigned to a dilapidated barracks and finally settled.

In addition to the tattered thatched roof overhead, there are even mud holes with the size of a basin on the mud walls on three sides, so you can clearly see the scene in the barracks next door.

As for the bed or something, don't even think about it, the one with the mattress on the ground is considered an "upper room", Gu Yi and their room, there is not even a grass on the ground, and dozens of people are just lying on the mud like livestock.

Of course, Gao Jie himself would not crowd with his people, and after settling them down, he took a few of his dogs and legs and disappeared, and the two hundred miners were also arranged by him to guard his precious ox cart, so he left Gu Yi and their gang of people waiting in a daze.

After a day's journey without a drop of water, the people of [Bluestone Mine] were already hungry, but Gao Jie just threw them down, and no one came to arrange their food, which was very infuriating.

On the school field of the camp of the Qianren camp, I don't know when a kettle was opened, and a bonfire was raised to cook, but it was the fort song that guarded them that was put to eat, and bursts of cooking smoke wafted in, which caused the hairy people under Gu Yi to be restless.
