C27 Visiting territory

When Zhao Fengnian found Liu Fu, he wanted to take a look at the properties of the territory.

But now that the Territory Lord was no longer around, the biggest person there was the Young lord, Zhao Fengnian.

When he heard that Zhao Fengnian wanted to inspect the territory with such a cold heart, he rejected immediately. However, Liu Fu, who couldn't handle Zhao Fengnian, had no choice but to arrange for two trusted soldiers to follow him.

Zhao Fengnian did not come to see the properties of his territory on a whim, it was something that he had considered deeply.

Previously, when he was in bed, he had been thinking about how to earn money and develop his territory, but he couldn't think of a better way, this year was over, and Zhao Tian had also left. He did not want to continue staying like this.

Most of his body had already returned to normal. He was still lacking the numbness in his legs so he couldn't walk normally. However, at this speed, he believed that he could walk normally in a few days.

Therefore, he had nothing else to do, so he wanted to understand the distribution of the territory's remaining industries and resources.

The center of the Yongfeng Ridge was about a hundred kilometers away from the Boundless Mountains, and the territory could only be controlled for a radius of more than thirty kilometers. As the territory was close to the Boundless Mountains, there would also be a small number of spirit beasts roaming about, so it was not suitable for construction and living.

Within the controllable area of the territory, only the riverside region and the surrounding areas of the Lord's Manor were suitable for farming.

In addition, the rest of the territory was mostly barren hills and craggy Gobi.

When Zhao Fengnian was sick, most of the businesses in the territory had already been sold, and only the black iron mine and an iron smelting workshop remained. There were a few artisans living inside, which could be considered part of the territory's construction department.

In addition, there were a few empty shops in the territory. Because they were located slightly away from the main street, they were not rented out for sale. They were always empty, acting as a storage for miscellaneous items.

This morning, Zhao Fengnian brought Aunt Lan, Wang Meng and Tao An to the empty shop at daybreak.

In the middle of the road was a wide flagstone road that could be used to travel three carriages in parallel. In the middle of the main road, there were also two streets with two carriages in the middle of the road, which could be used for two carriages in parallel. On both sides of these streets were shops.

The street near the city gate was the most bustling, it stretched all the way to the Lord's Manor's main square.

On the right was the administrative area where the territory's officials worked. On the left was the residential area, and although there were two rows of shops, a total of 16 of them, all of which had their doors tightly shut. The accumulated snow had already reached 20 cm under the door.

The roads were full of garbage for residents. Dirty water mixed with snow was frozen on the roads. The environment was very bad.

Seeing this, Zhao Fengnian frowned, he had never come to this street before, nor to the residential area for commoners, he never thought that the environment would be so vile!

There were shops or special personnel cleaning the snow and garbage on the streets near the Lord's Manor and the main road. Although it couldn't avoid the sewage freezing and clogging up on both sides of the streets, at least the middle road was clean.

Zhao Fengnian who had lived in a modern city for a long time cared a lot about this matter. After all, the sanitation they had was not good, and it would breed germs, and although it had been fine for dozens of years, if something were to happen, then the territory would probably be struck with a deathly blow.

However, other than the poor sanitation, these shops were still quite good. They all occupied quite a bit of space and the roads were very open. What kind of business should he do? Because their location was so remote, if there were no adventurers coming in, what method would they use to attract them ??

Zhao Fengnian made a mental note and waved, instructing the few of them to turn around and return.

Returning, a few people brought along a carriage and headed towards the second station, which was located in the southeast side of the black iron mine as well as the artificing workshop.

From the territory to becoming a carriage, it would take around 30 minutes. Both sides of the road were covered with pure white farmland, and only after seeing a small village with over 20 houses on it, did Zhao Fengnian and the others arrive.

Most of them relied on the crops growing at the back of the village for their livelihood. Among them, there were less than ten households that were the family members of the workers of the Territory's Refining Workshop. When the farmers were busy, they would go into the fields and when they had nothing to do, they would help the Territory build some farm tools.
