Standing on the balcony, looking at the north bank of the Luhe River, Qianshan New Town is gradually taking shape.

Yang Yinuan is also full of emotion, it has been a year since he shuttled to this world.

From the beginning, he just wanted to be a quiet man, and now he has become the lord of a city here.

This kind of leap really caught him by surprise.

And now this city has begun to take shape.

Thinking about talking to Yang Yuanqing about the future of this city yesterday, Yang Yuanqing was also full of energy when he talked about this city.

In his words, the city will definitely be a magnificent city with a population of one million people in the future.

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little excited!

Put it on the Blue Star, the Yanlong Country, with a population of one million, is also a county level.

But in this dark medieval age of ignorance, a city with a population of one million is definitely a beacon of the world!

Once Thousand Hills City grows to that size, it will definitely be the center of commerce, trade, and cultural exchange in the entire northern region.

For now, the city is just getting started.

Then a servant came and brought him a cloak, even though it was summer.

But in the morning the weather in the mountains was still very cold, and he had been standing on the terrace of the palace for a while.

The servants in the castle had already prepared breakfast for him.

I had a quick bite of food in the dining room, and then went to the fortress in front of me to take a look.

Now the construction of the Thousand Hills Fortress in front of this is already halfway through.

More than half of the construction of the main city wall has been completed, and only some of the fortifications on the top of the city wall have not yet been completed.

The construction of this city wall can be so fast, which is mainly due to the use of a large number of transformed construction machinery.

For example, the use of various wheelbarrows, trolleys, and pulley freight elevators.

It's a lot easier to move materials than before.

In the past, it was quite time-consuming and laborious to transport a large number of strips of stone and cement to the top of the city wall.

But now, as long as there is such a set of pulleys, a set of gear transfer cases is set up on the top of the city wall, and the winch is pulled by the ox.

Then it is very easy to transport several tons of material from the bottom of the city wall to the top of the wall.

According to Yang Yuanqing's estimates, by the end of this year, it is expected that all the façade work will be completed.

Then it's time to do some light interior renovation work.

You must know that the city wall they built is not just a city wall.

In fact, this is a very complex set of fortifications, inside the city wall, there are many caves and warehouses.

Even when war broke out, it became a place to treat the wounded, such as field hospitals.

Therefore, the inside of this city wall requires very careful planning and interior decoration work.

According to Yang Yuanqing's estimates, this part of the work may take another year to complete.

But these things, Yang Yinuan is not in a hurry.

Anyway, as long as the city wall is built, the outer defense of the fortress is completed, and it can really play the role of defense, then it is OK.

As for the interior decoration, that can be done slowly.

Because as the fame of Qianshan City grew, more and more merchants and homeless people poured in.

He really can't guarantee that this will not irritate some careerists.

After all, such a magnificent city, there are still so many people living in it, and a lot of wealth is pouring into it every day.

You say that those careerists on the grassland, can you not blush when you see it?

You must know that in the recent past, there has been a lot of planning outside the city wall and the new city of Qianshan.

Yang Yinuan has never stopped exploring the Handa grassland.

As early as the last time he arranged for Grande to train a new army in Qixingzhai, he also gave Grande another task.

That is to find out the situation near Thousand Mountain City......

After all, the current Qianshan City is not the same as before, and now the surname of Qianshan City is Yang, but it is not a high surname!

So he has to be aware of the surrounding situation.

And Grande did not live up to his explanation, as early as a few days ago, he finally roughly completed the task that Yang Yinuan explained.

I touched the situation around Qianshan City.

It turned out that the area where they were located was the northernmost point of the Aurora Continent's geographical cognition, the Iron Mountain Range.

This mountain range stretches for thousands of kilometers in the North Mirror region of the Aurora Continent, and it is unknown how long it is.

And further north of this mountain range, it belongs to no man's land.

Very few people on the Aurora continent have been there, and some have explored it before.

However, I only know that it is a very long and extremely cold place with a large expanse of snow.

In addition, there is snow all year round, forests, rivers, and swamps, but the natural environment is also very harsh.

Therefore, the expedition team that went to that side on the Aurora Continent did not meet anyone on that snowfield, and they came back.

So on the map of Aurora by the river, north of the Iron Mountain Range, there is an unknown snowy wasteland.

And the location of their Thousand Mountain City is really in the northeast corner of the Iron Mountain Range.

To the east, more than 500 kilometers away, is Dayu Mountain, which belongs to the southward extension of the Tieshan Mountain Range.

After crossing this big fish mountain, you will reach the sea.

There are some Mao artists living near the seaside, and there are not too many city-states and countries.

Therefore, the inner land wrapped by the Iron Mountain and the Big Fish Mountain Range is a terra nullius.

This land is also dotted with many small villages and small tribes.

However, with the spread of the fame of Qianshan City, many people from these small villages and small tribes began to come to Qianshan City.

Their Seven Star Village can expand to this area indefinitely.

As for the south of them, there is the Yellow Grass Beach and the Green Wave Village that belong to the Iron City, and after that, there is the Iron Mountain City.

And more than 200 kilometers to the west, is the Tieshan City that belongs to the Gao family.

To the south of Tieshan City, there are still a few Wubao villages newly developed by the Gao family on the Handa grassland.

These villages have been developed for a relatively short period of time, so the population is not very large.

And the security situation in that area is not very good, because these villages are all carved out of the Handa grassland.

It can be said that it directly borders the major strongman tribes on the Handa grassland.

Therefore, both sides are constantly fighting all year round, and there are various large and small wars every three or five days.

The Gao family has always won more and lost less before, but this time the Gao family's civil strife hurt their vitality.

Many of the villages that were developed first were destroyed by the strongman tribes, and a lot of the population was also taken captively.

I heard that Gao Xin is reorganizing his army for war recently, just to go to conquer these strongman tribes in the west.

The previous civil strife was greatly damaged, and it seems that he wants to make up for the losses from this western expedition......
