On the morning of September 26, outside the east gate of Iowa Town, a large number of people in the city stopped outside the first rail station in Yeqicheng, looking forward to the first train here.

From the town to the river wharf a few kilometers away, there was originally only a stone road nearly 10 meters wide, which was once the only access road from Iowa to the east, and was the biggest factor restricting the flow of goods.

Now, however, there are two 1-meter-wide railroad tracks side by side that connect Iowa to the docks' warehouse area.

For this rail line, stations were built, gantry cranes and steam boiler rooms were installed, and a series of signalling devices were built.

In the eyes of many residents, 8 horses pulled a train composed of 10 cars into the station, yes, the first train in the territory is the horse power.

The first car is the cockpit, that is, the carriage where the groom is located, the second and third cars are passenger cars, and the back 3 bulk cars and 4 container cars are car.

Thanks to the addition of weight-reducing magic patterns in all the carriages, the 8 horses appear to be full of power and can run 5-10 kilometers per hour.

After the train docked, Rand and Lanya, Petraeu Landarin and others got out of the passenger compartment of the train, announced the official opening of the first passenger and freight track on the Galloping Plain in the applause of everyone, and then invited the passengers to get into the carriage.

Before the official departure, Rand also made a cameo appearance as the signalman on the platform, waving a small green flag to let the groom in the cockpit drive the car forward.

Watching the train gradually move away, Petraeu couldn't help but ask, "My lord, I don't think there is anything special about this car?" 8 horses pulling 10 carriages, saving up to 3 horses, I think you seem to be particularly concerned about this! ”

"Lord Petraeu, this horse-drawn carriage doesn't want you to look so simple, first of all, he has saved a lot of manpower, and saved several coachmen," said Lanya with a smile before Rand could reply,

"Secondly, the train's carriages are specially designed to hold at least three magic containers directly in each freight car, and these containers can be put into the cargo ship by gantry cranes, or sent to horse-drawn carriages into the castle area, so as to avoid a lot of time wasted when loading and unloading bulk cargo."

"Not only that, but with the further exploitation of coal mines, we can add steam locomotives to make the transportation time on the road faster, and in the future, the train will be the fastest mode of transportation on the east-west main line, and the goods produced by each post station can be transported through this main line." Rand eyes into the distance.

"Lord Rand?"

While Rand was still stunned, he suddenly heard someone calling behind him, and the attendants and guards let in a priest from the Temple of Wealth, but blocked the orcs behind him.

"Lord Lante, these are the relatives of the Panita priests, and they have come here to serve the demon wolf Tatapala and take care of the Sanji priests." The priest introduced.

"Oh, by the way," Rand suddenly walked over to several orcs and shook hands with them one by one, "Priest Panita said two days ago, you are really welcome!

Whether it's Iowa or White Wolf City, there are a lot of orcs, don't be polite when you come here, if we have anything that we can't take care of, just bring it up! ”

"Where, where," Sangee's father, Dorsi White Wolf, smiled and shook hands with Rand, "I have long heard of the prestige of the Marquis of Rand, and it is well deserved to meet now!" ”

Duo Xi gave his son Sidaka, the White Wolf, a look behind him, and Sidaka quickly took out a few boxes of demonic beast meat.

Duo Xi smiled and said, "My daughter Sanji has had no rules since she was a child, and she has relied on the care of Lord Totapala and you during this time, this bit of demonic beast meat is not a tribute!" ”

"You are so gracious," said Rant, who had accepted the gift, "Sanji is a very elegant lady, and she understands nobles better than we do. ”

A representative of the royal court who was once in charge of liaising with the Hindukr orcs to attack the Galloping Horse Plain, and the other was a war marquis on the Galloping Horse Plain who was in charge of fighting against the orc army, and the two talked and laughed after meeting, talking about children, gods and education, if it weren't for Duoxi's hairy face, others would even think that these were two friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.

Rand put the members of the White Wolf family on a new train, and they will take the ships on the canal to arrive in White Wolf City in two weeks, and from there travel to the Frostwolf Forest to develop Lukoa's followers.

The orcs west of Iowa have become the servants of the demon wolves and the priests of the god of life in the forest, and Duoxi and his son Sidaka, seem to have given up their position among the orcs, but they have brought a wide living space for the family.

As for Lante, these two orcs are not his core members, and they can't enjoy the treatment of traveling to and from the territory through the teleportation circle at any time, so they can only enjoy the scenery of the Galloping Horse Plain by boat.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, in the commercial hall of Iowa, Rantka entered the secret room before Mr. Jushu announced his information about the imperial capital. In the main grain-producing regions of the South, there will be no stocks of new grain, and even the Rand brings good news: Night Kir City needs more cargo ships.

Every order is related to Night Qicheng, war, orcs, and the huge economic stimulus has allowed each workshop to open full capacity.

"Ladies and gentlemen, many families in the imperial capital are rumoring a word: war makes the empire younger!" "While there is no doubt that war causes sacrifice and suffering, it is also war that brings the members of the empire closer together. Let's salute all of you west of Night Qi City! ”

Today's public time ended with Mr. Jushu's summary, and since everyone is doing well, there is a need for more space for private communication.

"Mr. White Wolf, does Night Qicheng need more cargo ships?" As soon as Mr. Antlers got the opportunity, he hurriedly chatted privately with Rand, "In the last few months, a large number of grain ships have passed through the route we discussed before. ”

"Mr. Antlers, Night Kirk City does need a cargo ship, but I'm afraid it's the ship itself, not just the capacity, and at most by the middle of next month, the purchased specialties will be shipped," Rand explained with a smile.

"Don't, the specialties are not only near White Tree City, but also in other places, there is a shortage of food recently, and a large number of specialties are backlogged, and the current price is particularly suitable!"

"Oh?" Rand probably understood the mystery, since it was all slave trade, there must be more than one in Whitetree City.

From the Southern Elk Marquis of the Dragon Kingdom, the southernmost Southern Kingdom of the Empire, thousands of kilometers of forests and plains at the junction of forests, there are naturally many cities similar to White Tree City, among which there will be more slave owners like Wyvern, Blue Lion, and White Tree Family, waiting for someone to take over their slave camps.

"If that's the case, then we can discuss it, and maybe we can all come up with a suitable plan."
