Second, don't worry so much about the negative production value, your total expense load is distributed unevenly over all your cities based on popvalue... just worry that you are getting more money than you are spending.. if you want to know the production breakdowns, go to the city details page.
As to foreign temples, yes you get the benefit.. but you can't upgrade them. And normally in outlying districts you won't cap a city that has a law based temple, which will really cause your econ loss due to corruption to skyrocket. And once that city grows, you will definitely need an upgraded temple.. and you can only upgrade your own temples.
When I first take a city I immediately blow away the temple and build my own. I upgrade it to max level before doing anything else. Normally after that its:
roads
public health
market oriented
docks oriented (i.e., health and trade).
To manage happiness in the first few turns after taking over a city, I use my army (or its follow on reinforcement stack) as a garrison until happiness has stabilized. Lately I've taken to pre-building stacks of town watch to use as a 'quick garrison' so that my army can keep moving. That works except when you have an extreme happiness problem. In that case you will probably want any beneficial affects of your general in that city until things calm down (assuming he has a reasonable influence score.. the little green wreaths that appear near the top of his detail descriptoin window).
Hope this helps.. and thanks for the info on demolishing farms.. I tried it last night myself and found out ya can't :(. Normally now the only place I want to demo farms is in captured cities.. I just don't build many myself.
