After Chu Yin's birthday, life became busy again.

The direction of the workshop has been roughly decided, there are those making dried fruits, some making preserved fruits, and some making dried vegetables.

In addition, the local area also produces jade and agate of good quality, but it is difficult to find and mine them.

Jade making workshops can also be opened in the future.

After the direction is determined, it is time to select a site, discuss with the local government to purchase land, select bricks and tiles with the brick kiln, and select timber with the forestry farm.

There are officials in the Zhou Dynasty who specialize in forest management.Neither the government nor the public can cut down trees at will. Even with the consent of the forestry farm, one species must be cut down.

However, the regulations are strict and it depends on the local government if they are not implemented properly.

In the Western Region, because the sky is high and the emperor is far away, local officials are equivalent to the local emperors, and the laws governing the local area are basically equivalent to those made by themselves.

When they learned that the champion Hou Rong'an would guard the Western Territory and resist the Xirong, the local officials in the Western Territory gathered together for several meetings.

Although the Western Region is far away from the border and not as prosperous as a place like the capital, it still has its unique advantages.

First of all, the territory is vast and the products are rich, so their life is very comfortable; second, there are no high-ranking officials above their heads, so they can do whatever they want; the 3rd surname is easy to fool, and management is not that troublesome.

The former garrison was very easy to bribe.

Because the army is short of supplies and doesn't have much oil and water, as long as they are willing to share some benefits, the garrison generals will soon join their ranks.

As for the harassment of Xirong...

The Xirong raids would not go deep into the hinterland, because the Western Territory was vast but not densely populated. The battle line was too long and supplies could not keep up. Therefore, every time the Xirong raids only hit towns close to the border.

Why don’t people in border towns move away?Because this place is very suitable for living and farming.

Due to the particularity of the region and climate, the rainfall in the Western Region is actually not large. The rivers originate from melting snow in the mountains, and there are many seasonal rivers.

In summer, the sunshine is strong and the climate is dry, and many rivers will dry up.

Although there will be white snow covering the earth in winter, when spring comes, it will soon disappear without a trace.

Moreover, the temperature difference between day and night is huge, so you need to wear cotton-padded clothes in the morning and evening. During the hottest time at noon, you will still be sweating while wearing a gauze fan.

Due to drought, there are many deserts. During the sandstorm season, yellow sand rolls in. When the wind stops and the sand settles, the landscape may have changed.

Therefore, local people live in oasis.

Cities are also distributed in oasis areas.

Oasis come in different sizes, and so do towns.

The most common means of transportation in the local area is camels. Camels are good at finding water sources, avoiding wind and sand, and are not picky about food.

The above is an overview of the Western Territory.

If you want to gain a foothold in the Western Territory, you must understand every aspect of it.

The map that was first delivered to Rong An was donated by the local garrison, and the local government also gave a copy.

But what Rong An is using now is the one that was re-surveyed after Rong Jin and Rong Shui arrived, which is very different from the original version.

It cannot be said arbitrarily that the local garrison and the government fooled Rong An. It may also be that the strong sandstorm changed the original landform as mentioned above.

But the maps in their hands are still from decades ago.

Interference between the military and the government has always been tabooed by the court, so when Rong An arrived here, he couldn't stand what the government was doing, but he couldn't take action head on. (End of chapter)
