[Iron Fort] is much farther away than the [Shuiwatun] that Gu Yi and his friends went to last time, especially they had to escort nearly 100 heavy ox carts. Each ox cart was equipped with two fat and strong big bulls, and there were also arranged mine and Jie people to help push the carts.

In this way, the big bulls were so tired that they foamed at their mouths, their eyes were bloody and their breath was squirting, which seriously delayed the speed of the quick-moving Jie people. After walking for several days, they reached the [Iron Fort], which was hundreds of treks (690 meters, equivalent to [living]).

Because the urban gathering areas such as "city, fort, trunk, village, dock, and gather" in the Dayou Empire were all following the old system of the previous dynasty, lower-level urban units were often scattered around the superior city units in satellite shape to facilitate the supply of various resources to the superior unit.

When the group arrived at the [Iron Fort] with difficulty, Gu Yi was once again shocked by the construction ability of people in this world. The five-foot high and three-foot wide (1-foot = 230cm) castle walls were completely made of blue-gray hard rocks, and there were a large number of enemy-defying platforms, arrow towers and stilts on the city walls.

A rushing river [现水] winds across the [Iron Fort] from west to east, and manually excavated a wide moat surrounding the entire [Iron Fort], introducing flowing river water.

[Shui] Above, you can see huge square boats and huge round boats, rolling sails into the city from the water gate. There are also rows of sampans of all sizes in the moat, and fishermen are swimming back and forth, making them prosperous and prosperous!

On land, the crowded convoys of people were constantly passing through the wide stone bridge on the moat, passing through the orderly inspection of the people and paying the city fee, they entered the city from each gate, and were very lively.

Gu Yi was stunned like a country bumpkin and slowly entered the city. His stupid look was in line with his "savage in the mountains". After entering the city, on the wide avenue dozens of meters wide, there were crowds of people coming and going, and the tall buildings that spread to the end of his eyes. Gu Yi was even more incredible.

According to Gu Yi's comparison of the world's urban gathering areas, this [Iron Fort] is just a county-level unit that is only one level higher than the town-level private town of Shuiwa Village? How could it have such a prosperous scene?

According to the boy Ge Qiao, there is a radius of more than 48.2 square kilometers in the city alone, with more than 100,000 households. In this way, the size of his original world, the size of 500,000 and 600,000 permanent population is definitely a medium-sized city, right? In this wilderness, it is just a county-level city?

You know, this is not the "three-dimensional city" of his original world. It is far less than so many tall buildings. Moreover, with the road conditions and logistics conditions of the wilderness, can we support such a dense population by relying solely on water transportation?

Without waiting for the incomprehensible Gu Yi to take a few more glances, they were taken by Gao Jie to the [Baoquying] in [Iron Fortress]. The [Baoquying], which was like a city in the city, was the garrison of the Fortress Quwei, the main garrison force that guarded the city, and the people were not allowed to enter.

Judging from the teams of full armed and patrolling the fortress on the city wall, the towering and thick city wall of this fortress is obviously not just used to protect wild animals and bandits.

The established military troops in the city, which are heavily guarded and large inhabitants, are obviously not just used to maintain public order and to patrol the streets and collect taxes. From this point of view alone, the saying that the East Land of the Great Wilderness [Zhongyouqiu] is in war is indeed not groundless.

After all, even the dangerous place outside the border surrounded by three mountains and sealed the pass is already filled with such a strong atmosphere of war. It can be seen that the fire of war is burning in the inner world, which has been burning.

A special area was set up in the [Bowen Quying] to accommodate the "Jiu Tun 81 Villages" Jie people group under the jurisdiction of the [Tielubao] who came to participate in the Dou Jie event this time. There are also a large number of rural [Liwu]. [Li Ju] formed a team of Jie people, and the crowds were crowded and noisy. When they arrived in the solemn and strict place of [Bowen Quying], it made it like a noisy and noisy vegetable market.

While waiting for Gao Ji to order people to exchange seal documents and to be arranged to put them in the barracks, Gu Yishao said that he had seen dozens of incidents that had started due to quarrels, which shows how prosperous the fighting spirit of [Zhongrong County] is.

Fortunately, the Jie people camp, which was opened up to specially place the Jie people team, was assigned a large number of castle songs, which soon suppressed the rebellious Jie people and did not cause any trouble in the bombing camp.

[Qingshi Mine] is a public institution directly under the jurisdiction of [Tielubao], but in fact its status is far less than that of the nine civil towns under [Tielubao], and it is only about 81 [Shuzhuang]. After all, [Shuzhuang] is also a regular administrative unit with a permanent population of 5,000 or 6,000 permanent residents.

Although [Qingstone Mine] also has the scale of thousands of mines, it is not a major tax-paying economy. Most of the ores produced must be paid directly. The remaining ore exchanged for after-sales sales also needs to support thousands of mines, hundreds of miners, as well as the obese worm, Gaoji.

With Gao Jie's stingy nature, he would definitely not be willing to spend money to clear the situation, so he naturally did not accept it. Gu Yi and others stood on the school ground of the Jieren Camp and were watched by Baoqu for several hours before they were assigned to a dilapidated barracks and finally settled down.

It is better to say it is a barrack, but it is a soil shack. In addition to the layer of dilapidated thatched roof on the top of the head, there are even mud holes as big as washbasins on the mud walls on the three sides, so you can clearly see the scene in the barracks next door.

As for beds and other things, there is no need to think about it. The ones with mattresses on the ground are considered "up to the room". In Gu Yi and the others, there is not even a single grass on the ground. Dozens of people just lie on the mud like animals.

Of course, Gao Jie would not squeeze with his subordinates. After they placed them down, he took his subordinates to the point where they went. The two hundred mine soldiers were also arranged by him to guard his precious ox cart, and then left Gu Yi and his group of Jie people waiting at a loss.

After a day of traveling without getting into the water, the Jie people in the [Qingshi Mine] were already hungry, but Gao Jie just threw them down and no one came to arrange their food, which made people very angry.

On the school grounds of Jieren Camp, a cauldron was set up and a campfire was raised to cook. However, the fortress guards were put on the meal, and the smoke from cooking came, causing the hairy people under Gu Yi to be restless.
