Yang Zhengshan and Pang Tang were discussing plans for the Northern Territory.
"According to your thinking, we'll need to build more than a dozen towns in the Northern Territory!" Pang Tang looked at the map of the Northern Territory, his brows furrowing slightly.

"My idea is that next year we first build a city beneath Heiyun Mountain, establish the Heiyun Guard, and move military households there."
Yang Zhengshan pointed at the location of Heiyun Mountain and continued, "Heiyun Mountain has rich mountain forest resources. It can produce a large number of specialty goods such as medicinal herbs, furs, and mountain products!"

"After Heiyun City is built, we can establish more villages and towns around Heiyun City. These villages and towns will be enough to accommodate a population of one hundred thousand!"
"We'll use three years to develop Heiyun City, then advance eastward from Heiyun City and westward from Fuzhou City, pushing forward from both ends to develop this large expanse of territory!"
