Fengjiang City can be said to be a reflection of the construction of the Tang State during this period. The city was rebuilt by the Tang State, but was governed by the Tang State and Dahua respectively.
The reason why Fengjiang City is called Fengjiang is because the city was originally built next to the Fengjiang river, so it got its name.
In order to better differentiate the governance, the Tang State carried out a certain degree of transformation when rebuilding the city.
Nowadays, the entire city no longer relies on the river for construction, but spans the entire Fengjiang River, with urban areas set up on both sides of the river.
The reason why the Dahua Empire did not have such a design in the past was mainly because of its limited construction level and the inability to build a bridge of sufficient length to maintain cross-strait traffic.
However, such problems did not exist in the Tang Dynasty: when building the Fengjiang River, the Tang Dynasty built four bridges on the river in one go.
For this reason, the Dahua Empire also recognized the Tang State's complete control over the old site of Fengjiang, and adopted a stupid attitude towards the fact that the newly built Fengjiang moved more than ten kilometers to Dahua.
The main reason is that they cannot continue to insist on Fengjiang's request to rebuild on the original site, because there is no clear boundary, and they are more afraid of difficult management.
With the strength of the Tang Empire, it would be hard to tell what kind of conflict there would be, and it might even be impossible to defend it—yes, it couldn’t be defended!
Who dares to rely on Fengjiang to serve as an official on the land of the Tang State and make money? If something goes wrong, the Tang State may have their own ideas, and half of Fengjiang City will become theirs.
There is a river that is more or less safe. When the time comes, the Tang Dynasty will put in place a rat-proof weapon and will not just occupy Fengjiang City for any reason.
With this idea in mind, the new Fengjiang City was built in this way. It took the Tang State's engineering team less than half a year to make the entire Fengjiang City look presentable.
The four dual-purpose bridges were the first to be constructed. Fengjiang City near the Tang Dynasty first built a customs house and a railway station, and then a steady stream of materials was transported to the nearby area, and tall buildings began to rise one after another.
Before the supplies arrived, Dahua's captive laborers dug various holes. Some dug foundations, and some dug pipelines. In short, there were big holes waiting to be filled back everywhere, and everyone was busy.
scene.
In order to speed up the construction, Tang State actually paid and hired many workers from Dahua to dig holes on the other side of the river at the same time.
The contractors sent out their own project supervisors to dig pits according to Tang Guo's construction requirements. After the railway bridge was built, they poured the various pipelines and cement and steel bars that had been built into these pre-dug pits.
inside.
This kind of construction greatly increased the construction speed, and the entire Fengjiang City was built quickly just like Bunas many years ago.
Because the pipelines were buried in advance, various wires were laid very smoothly. The power plants and water plants on both sides were quickly put into use, and the entire city became fuller at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Those businessmen who noticed the smell began to gather in this city, and some smart people began to invest and buy houses in this city, and the speed was staggering.
Even the data obtained by the statistics department of the Tang State showed that the funds invested in the construction of Fengjiang City began to generate a large amount of profits before they were all spent.
Along the Fengjiang River under the control of the Tang Empire, river fortifications were built along the embankment, and two forts were even arranged in a pretentious manner, with fully automatic twin-mounted 380-caliber armored turrets deployed.
As for the Dahua Empire, they had no choice but to build the same fortifications at their own expense. Four large permanent fortification groups were built in one go, each of which was equipped with a twin-mounted 380-caliber cannon.
As a result...these gun tubes were ordered from the Tang State's military factory in the end, and they used the same products from the Tang State's forts...
The newly built Fengjiang City has a prosperity that is not found in other cities in the Great China Empire. It is as lively and lively as Bunas, and it is already intoxicated even before the port is fully opened.
This city looks really wonderful now, and many officials in the Dahua Empire have even seen countless business opportunities from this beginning.
In the future, countless wealth will be born here. As long as goods from the Tang Dynasty enter Dahua from here, or from Dahua to the Tang Dynasty, there will be countless opportunities to get their hands on them.
Everyone is frantically filling this place with people they trust. Everyone feels that this place is just a huge piece of fat without an owner.
With the emergence of tall buildings and the completion of railways, trade between the Tang Dynasty and the Great China Empire naturally began.
The first batch of goods shipped to the Dahua Empire were, of course, products that the Dahua Empire did not have, and even did not know how to set tariffs.
When the border tax officials of the Great China Empire saw the luxury leather bags, clothes, and exquisite jewelry piled on the train, they couldn't even close their mouths.
The Tang "businessmen" who were in charge of these goods on the train grabbed a handful from the pile of goods and stuffed them into the hands of the tax officials of the Dahua Empire. These Dahua officials immediately felt the beauty of this job.
Their daughters have been waiting for such a necklace for a long time. As long as they wear this necklace to attend a banquet, their self-esteem will be greatly satisfied.
Their wives had wanted such a skirt for a long time, because only the best ladies had heard of the dress that had long been popular in other countries.
They themselves have long wanted a shining gold watch. Tang Guo's watches are not just accurate, they are a symbol of status and wealth!
The Tang State's intelligence department used the wealth gathered in their hands from various countries to open a path, and in turn re-injected these gold coins into these countries in the form of stolen money, opening up the upper and lower joints for themselves, and the road was almost unimpeded.
If you can't win with a ring, smash a necklace; if you can't win with a necklace, smash a car!

The Tang Empire built four railways to connect the Great China Empire. These four railways extended eastward from Fengjiang to Linshui.
This is almost equivalent to saying that it traverses the entire east-west territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the railway from Beiyuan City all the way south to the border of Chu State constitutes the complete railway network of the Datang Empire.
Surrounding these two arteries, countless railways radiated out, like a spider web, covering every city in the Tang Empire.
They play an important role. Together with the road network, they are like half of blood vessels, supporting the giant of the Tang Empire and filling it with power.
The Dahua Empire is also working hard to build a railway across the east and west, because the economic value of this railway is too high.
As long as Qin's oil is sent to Tang, the Great China Empire can continuously collect the tolls and obtain a railway for free.
In addition, this railway can also sell the oil that the Great China Empire cannot use to the Tang State. Anyway, the Tang State seems to be willing to accept as much oil as it has.
This is actually a strange phenomenon: other countries seem to need oil, but generally speaking, everyone has a "limit". After meeting their own needs, there will not be so many means to deal with excess oil production capacity.
But the Tang Empire was completely different. It was like a bottomless pit. No matter how much oil each country produced, it could eat it. Its thirst for oil seemed endless.
In fact, Tang State does need more oil than other countries: in addition to refining it into gasoline, Tang State also has a lot of chemical factories waiting to refine various things from oil.
Even the residual asphalt at the bottom of the final product chain of oil and coal is an important raw material for modern infrastructure.
The upstream of the asphalt industry is petrochemicals, coal, modifiers and emulsifiers, and the downstream is highways, waterproof building materials, airport construction and municipal engineering road construction, etc.
In the complete petrochemical industry chain, the front-end products of petroleum asphalt are ethers, alkanes, hydrocarbons, benzene and other major products. Petroleum asphalt, which is the back-end product of crude oil processing, can be obtained through the coking process to obtain petroleum gum.
These gadgets are all things waiting to be used in modern industry. The familiar plastics and other messy high-tech materials are all extensions of the petroleum product chain.
High-tech fabrics used in clothes, lighter helmets equipped by the military, equipment shells that are easier to mold, and even transparent plexiglass plates... Datang Group is working hard to produce these things.
As a partial substitute for metal, plastic is really so important that no integrated industrial products can bypass this material.
It is used in cars, ships, airplanes, and even guns in large quantities.
