"This place is set aside, and Sanjiang Bank is built here."

"The warehouse of the supply and marketing cooperatives is here, and another batch of fertilizer will be transported over, and the bottom fertilizer will be laid after the land is reclaimed."

"Bring a letter to Daddy James so they can prepare lambs and calves."

"For the time being, I don't think about moving the factory over, there are no advantages in resources, transportation, and population, and wait for Holmes to take people to find mines, and if there are mines, then think about the next things."

In a tent in the camp on the south bank, Chen Jianqiu was discussing matters related to the new city with everyone.

Next to them is the construction site, and the new town is in full swing.

Unlike Roswell, there is a train in advance.

The ownership of the railway itself is also owned by the Santa Fe Railway Company, and a railway station can be added to the side of the railway.

In this way, there is also a post office.

There is no problem with the supply of materials, everything is sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives, from food and drink, to fertilizers, farm tools, and seeds, as long as you join the members of the supply and marketing cooperatives, you will enjoy discounts.

There are also gun shops, directly operated stores of the Roswell Military Factory, absolutely authentic, quality assurance.

The new rednecks around you can buy with confidence.

Chen Jianqiu is not worried about the security here at all.

Because the sheriff's office was established before the post office.

As for the power to maintain law and order, I am afraid that none of these towns in the west is as strong as here.

After the meeting, everyone left the camp one after another, only Chen Jianqiu and Li Sifu were still standing at the table and looking at the map.

"Has there been any movement on the other side of the river in the past two days?" Chen Jianqiu lowered his head and asked.

"There's no movement, it seems that they all honestly go to run their own farms and ranches." Li Sifu replied, "But it seems that they are a little short of food, and I heard that the bison herd in the north is almost finished by them." ”

Chen Jianqiu sighed.

These bison really didn't escape.

Tens of thousands of people poured in at once, and no amount of bison could survive.

"Let's go, let's see." Chen Jianqiu found something and pressed it on the map on the table, and took Li Sifu out of the tent.

They walked out through the small wooden gate to the bank of the river, and looked across the barbed wire fence to the other side of the river.

In the camp of the colonist association opposite, simple buildings have also begun to be erected.

Most of them were built along railway lines.

However, since the train belonged to the Santa Fe Railway Company, Chen Jianqiu set the station on this side of the bridge, so the gang still had to watch the train whizz past them, leaving no clouds.

In addition, there are some caravans in the camp selling daily necessities.

The standard of living on both sides of the strait is really one day and one place.

"Look, boss, what's that?" Li Sifu suddenly pointed to the other side of the river and said.

Chen Jianqiu looked in the direction pointed by Li Sifu.

On the opposite side of the river, a pile of wood was piled up, and a group of people were carrying it to build a building.

"It's a watchtower, isn't it?" Chen Jianqiu touched his chin.

He saw a familiar person.

I don't know if it's because of the lack of manpower, or because everyone else in the association is busy, Kuchi himself goes into battle, carrying a hammer and is nailing nails.

Kuqi also saw Chen Jianqiu and the two.

His face sank.

What happened before made the president feel humiliated.

None of his men were willing to go to the other side of the river.

As long as you ask, you either have to dig your own ranch fence stakes, or you have to go out hunting to replenish some food and support your family.

Finally, after a few days of stuffiness in the tent, Kuchi came up with an idea.

"I want you to look good in two days." Kuqi muttered as he gestured to Chen Jianqiu to wipe his neck.

Chen Jianqiu's eyes narrowed.

"What are they doing here?" Li Sifu was puzzled, "What are we doing at the sentry tower on the other side of the river?" ”

"Is it important?"

Chen Jianqiu didn't look very interested, then turned around and walked back towards the camp.

Kuchi and his henchmen began to build watchtowers by the river day and night.

They cut wood from the forest a few kilometers away, dragged it back by horse, and began to pile it up one by one.

The other cowboys came in turns, because they had their own land to do.

Only Kutch is doing it the whole time.

For this reason, there is nothing in his ranch except for a sign declaring sovereignty.

In the process of construction, Chen Jianqiu on the other side of the river did not react, let alone obstruct it.

"These Chinese will pay the price for despising us!" Kutch knocked on the nail like a demon, muttering in his mouth.

A month later, four tall wooden watchtowers appeared on the north bank of the river.

On a sunny afternoon, President Couch and his followers climbed one of the watchtowers.

He climbed to the highest point of the watchtower.

Climbing high and looking far into the distance can be refreshing, especially in this endless wilderness dotted with pastures and farms.

People cultivated the land and grazed cattle and sheep.

You know, a month ago, it was an undeveloped virgin land with no traces of man-made.

The land is full of life and all things are competing.

Couch looked around and wanted to say something, but he wasn't Whitman and couldn't read any beautiful verses.

Eventually, a sentence popped out of his mouth:

"Holy!"

"Huh?" The pigtailed man who had just climbed up knew that his president was not very knowledgeable, but he couldn't only sigh like this.

When he came to his president, he finally understood why Kutch had a feeling.

Behind the wooden walls on the other side of the river, a town has begun to take shape!

With this town at its core, the various pastures and farms radiate outwards like a net.

A main road parallel to the railroad runs through the net like a meridian, and dirt roads that have been crushed by the cars extend from this meridian in all directions.

What kind of speed is that?!

Kutch, the pigtailed man, and the other cowboys were dumbfounded.

As veteran pioneers, they've seen a lot of western towns rise from the ground, but they've never seen them so fast!

The group looked again at the land on the north bank of the river behind them.

The difference is very different!

Compared to the other side, my side is not even a village!

"I think it's because they're on the other side." The pigtailed man doesn't know if he's lying to Cuoch or if he's lying to himself.

"The train stops on the other side of the river, which allows the opposite side to continuously obtain supplies of materials and manpower from the outside world, and people from outside will also choose to stay on the other side of the river." After thinking about it, he gave his own reasoning.

"So, we're going to take back the train station!"

However, Couch was not very interested in his eloquence.

"Where's my gun?" He turned his head and shouted at the pigtailed man.

The pigtailed man quickly took off the Springfield rifle he was carrying and handed it to Kuqi.

Kutch pulled the bullet out of his pocket and pressed it into the chamber.

Then he raised his gun and aimed it at the busy workers on the construction site opposite.

Couch pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

A gunshot wafted over the North Carnedine River.

On the south bank of the river, a Chinese worker who was laying tiles on the roof suddenly covered his shoulders.

Red blood flowed from his fingers.

The Chinese worker stumbled and fell off the roof.

Fortunately, there was a worker next to him, and he quickly grabbed him.

"Someone got shot!" There was a lot of noise on the construction site.

The workers who were still on the roof all climbed down the ladder to find a place to hide.

Kuchi laughed as he threw the gun at the pigtailed man:

"It's like I fight, every day! Do you hear that? If the other side fights back, you can hide, or go down to the tower, and when they are gone, you go up and continue to fight! ”

The pigtailed man took the gun with a hesitant expression.

"President, what if the other side gathers troops and attacks them?"

Kuchi snorted:

"We can't cross this bridge, and it's not so easy for them to come over, to put our Gatling on the bridge, and they are not the only ones with heavy firepower!"

He glanced at the south bank of the river again, then turned and went down the tower, and at the same time muttered the words:

"The land we can't get, you don't want to live a good life, disgusting to death."
