Volume III Chapter 133 Expansion Project
Less than half an hour after Hyde left, people from the Imperial Design Institute came, in order to assist Li Hengxin in designing the expanded part of the imperial capital, but these people were all driven back by Li Hengxin, because he didn't need others to interfere in this matter at all, this time he wanted to design the expanded city completely with his own ideas. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
And Curtis's movements were not slow, and the funds were in place on the same day, and at the same time Li Hengxin's 30,000 soldiers were distributed, they were warriors on the battlefield and craftsmen on the battlefield.
For Li Hengxin to take over, Curtis and Hydra will not restrain Li Hengxin at all, Li Hengxin drove away the people of the Imperial Design Institute, and it did not surprise them, Li Hengxin's arbitrariness is not once or twice, but every time his arbitrariness also means that he has an amazing idea, Curtis and Hydra are even looking forward to Li Hengxin's construction of the new imperial capital.
Curtis wasn't overly angry at Hydra's reply, after all, it was the best they could get.
"Hydra, sometimes I really want to kill Spike!" Curtis sighed, he loves and hates Li Hengxin, Li Hengxin is always able to solve problems for him at the most appropriate time, but he embarrasses himself many times, makes himself unable to step down, resists his orders, and even coerces himself to make some concessions.
Hydra and Curtis feel the same way, if he could, he would even be happy to give Li Hengxin a knife, but he understood that if Li Hengxin was missing, the empire would not develop as rapidly as it is now, and if he stabbed Li Hengxin, he would probably be stabbed by Weiwei Nuo when he went home.
Hydra shook his head helplessly: "Your Majesty." The empire's taxes last year were two percent higher than in previous years, one percent of which was made by Spike, and the other one was increased because of Spike's influence, and the first rich man in the continent also invested more than two billion gold coins in the empire because of Spike's relationship, do you think if we kill Spike. Can the Empire withstand the volatility caused by this?"
In fact, what Hydra said is not the most serious, he has not said that Li Hengxin's status in the minds of the residents of the imperial capital, if Li Hengxin has any advantages and two shortcomings because of Curtis, I am afraid that those residents will overturn the entire palace, and his reputation as an emperor has been established because of Li Hengxin, which has to make people feel a little stunned.
The prestige of a monarch is not as good as that of a courtier. But Curtis also admitted all this.
After all, the benefits that Li Hengxin brought to him were enough to support an army of millions of people, but what Curtis couldn't tolerate the most was Li Hengxin's disobedience, wanting to teach Li Hengxin a lesson, and he was afraid of losing those benefits.
Hearing these data, Curtis was both happy and helpless, and finally had to give up this impulse stupidly. However, he can also weigh the pros and cons, and knows that it is not beneficial for him to dispose of Li Hengxin now.
"Your Majesty, will your investment be too much this time? This is equivalent to five times Caesar's indemnity this time. Hydra was still a little worried. After all, the amount of more than 10 billion gold coins, and this time it was not discussed by other ministers at all, it was Curtis who started the expansion plan after saying hello to him.
At the mention of this, Curtis's face lit up with excitement: "Don't you think it's exciting? It's like gambling, but I know it's a sure-fire gamble, and Spike has never let me down." ”
Hydra smiled bitterly and shook his head, one moment he was thinking about whether to kill Spike's kid, and the next moment he could put a huge amount of gold coins into Spike's body, Hydra was becoming more and more speechless to Curtis, but Hydra also saw the courage of the emperor from Curtis.
"Your Majesty is more relieved than Spike. He's not a panacea. Hydra said.
Curtis laughed, "And what do you say Spike can't?"
Hydra was stunned for a moment, and thought about it, Li Hengxin lived, but for a while, Hydra couldn't frustrate Li Hengxin from his memory.
Magic, martial arts, alchemy, summoning...... There were also those strange devices, cold sweat broke out on Hydra's forehead, and he was immersed in the shock created by Li Hengxin again and again. But he didn't think deeply about Li Hengxin's knowledge, any of which is a height that ordinary people can't reach in a lifetime, not to mention that Li Hengxin is still so young.
"Hey...... Aren't you scared?" Curtis looked at Hydra with a smile: "Some time ago, I also suddenly remembered, it turned out that Spike was a hundred times more terrifying than I thought, and I now wonder if Spike is really an undead creature or a dragon, can a normal person really have such strength and knowledge at such a young age?"
"Undead, if the undead creatures could have this kind of talent, I'm afraid that Hell would have wiped out the Omis Continent and the Demon Realm long ago. Will they still cower in the Chaos Continent?" Hydra answered: "As for the dragons, they have nothing but treasure. will only be interested in treasures, is it possible that there will be a dragon clan like Li Hengxin?"
Curtis also nodded, if it weren't for the fact that Li Hengxin was not a creature from other planes, Curtis would not have left Li Hengxin with peace of mind, as for these truths, he had already figured it out, and everything Li Hengxin did was of great benefit to the Resard Empire.
It is precisely because of this that Curtis can tolerate Li Hengxin's rudeness to himself, and this extermination of Caesar's army made Curtis completely stop the last crooked thoughts about Li Hengxin, but he occasionally complained.
In Curtis's heart, he even admires Li Hengxin a little, most of his children are also fans of Li Hengxin, and he even knows Chrissy's feelings for Li Hengxin, if Li Hengxin is willing, he is also willing to marry Chrissy to Li Hengxin.
Li Hengxincha looked at the original design of the imperial capital, since the imperial capital was built, there has been no major change, and it has never been expanded.
According to Curtis, the imperial capital was to be enlarged by a quarter, and one-third of the expansion would be used for people, half for commercial transactions, and one-sixth for public places.
The current population of the imperial capital is more than 5 million, of which 500,000 are the nobles and wealthy classes, and these 500,000 people occupy more than half of the area of the imperial capital, while the remaining 4.5 million occupy only 4.5 million
Less than a tenth
The rest of the land is occupied by public spaces and some institutions and shops. One can imagine how crowded the living conditions of those 4.5 million people are.
But there is no way to do it, no matter when there will be such a class, even the earth of the 22nd century is no exception, not to mention the world where the social system is not very perfect.
What Li Hengxin needs to do is to resettle as many 4.5 million people as possible, and at the same time, to ensure the value of the land and improve the facilities for the benefit of the people. Anyway, what Li Hengxin had to do was to increase the commercial value of the Imperial Capital in the Omis Continent as high as possible. Let the emperor attract more merchants to invest and live in the foreign population.
A larger population means more commercial value, and more commercial value will attract more people to join, forming a favorable cycle, and the 5 million population of the imperial capital also shows its commercial value.
If it is a small city with only a few hundred thousand people, the relative commercial value is much smaller, and the increase in commercial value means that the empire has more tax revenue and more employment opportunities, so each city will attract as many outsiders as possible.
Of course, this is also the reason why the world's population is not very large. However, due to various technical and design limitations, many favorable spaces cannot be used profitably, and this is the case with the imperial capital, if the results of Sophia's calculations are followed, it is enough to add another five million people to live, and the area of the imperial capital is no smaller than a large city on the earth.
However, due to the limited ability of the original designer of the imperial capital, a lot of space in the imperial capital was wasted, Li Hengxin couldn't help but shake his head, if he was redesigned and built the imperial capital, he could definitely make the imperial capital the first metropolis in the Omis continent. It's a pity that this is just an unrealistic idea. First of all, Curtis would not have such great power, and secondly, he would not be able to come up with such a large amount of money.
However, now the expansion of the imperial capital can be regarded as making up for the small regret in Li Hengxin's heart, after Li Hengxin's personal design, and Sophia's further calculation and analysis, and strive to make the expansion part perfect. At the same time, Li Hengxin also calculated the funds that could be used. The more money you have, the more perfect you can be.
Curtis gave Li Hengxin three years, but Li Hengxin felt that if he was given enough people, he was sure that he would complete the initial project within half a year. It was all completed in one year.
Therefore, Li Hengxin asked Curtis to deploy 100,000 after the original 30,000 engineers
The human army, Curtis is refreshing, directly throwing the military talisman to Li Hengxin, he will give him as much as he wants, this is also the first time Curtis agreed to Li Hengxin's request so readily. After all, Curtis also wanted to see Li Heng's new achievements soon.
In addition to these soldiers, Li Hengxin also recruited a large number of workers and construction teams. Almost the entire construction team of the imperial capital was collected by Li Hengxin.
After Li Hengxin had been preparing for half a month, the officials and nobles of the imperial capital realized that Li Hengxin was going to make a big move again, and for a while, there was a burst of news flying all over the sky. Everyone speculated about what Li Hengxin was going to do this time.
But then Curtis's will made everyone dumbfounded, the expansion of the imperial capital, this is something that has not happened for hundreds of years, this is obviously a thankless thing, everyone is talking about it, not to mention the huge cost of this expansion, even if it is built, it is still unknown whether these can recover this huge investment, except for Curtis, almost no one is optimistic about this expansion plan.
However, Curtis's attitude this time was unusually tough, and he went all out to support Li Hengxin's renovation action, Li Hengxin asked for money to give money, and ordered all the noble officials that no one was allowed to embarrass Li Hengxin's expansion project, but those aristocratic officials muttered in their hearts, in the imperial capital, Li Hengxin dared to embarrass Li Hengxin except for their royal people, I am afraid that there is no one else.
It's not just Curtis who is obsessed, Li Hengxin himself is enchanted. People are like this, once they have a goal, they will rush to it desperately, forgetting to sleep and eat.
"Spike, you come out for me......"
A shout suddenly came from outside the door, Li Hengxin was drawing drawings, trembling all over, and the drawings in his hands were already off.
Li Hengxin walked out of the door. found that Pushton rushed in regardless of the obstruction, and when he saw Li Hengxin, he scolded: "You kid, what I begged you to do, you haven't heard from you until now, but you are engaged in that kind of expansion project, if the TMD water element man runs out, no matter how well you build it, it will give you a wave to collapse." ”
"Oops......" Li Hengxin patted his head violently, he was so busy and confused that he actually forgot about the matter that Pushiton explained.
Pushton suddenly raised his eyebrows: "You can't forget, do you?"
"Uh...... Accident, complete accident. Li Hengxin smiled: "Give me another month." One month guarantee to give you a reply. ”
"What if you don't hear from you in a month?" asked Pushton reluctantly.
"There won't be no news, can you solve it, I'll give you an answer in a month, just a month, anyway, the water elemental has been imprisoned for hundreds of years. It's not bad for such a month. ”
Li Hengxin looked at Pushiton with a smile.
"Then what if you mess around for a month and tell me that you can't solve it when the time comes?" Pushton obviously didn't believe in Li Hengxin's personality.
Li Hengxin rolled his eyes for a while, is he so untrustworthy?"Then what are you going to do?" Li Hengxin asked helplessly.
"If you can't solve it, then you have to make up for one less god-level in the future. Pushton said.
Li Hengxin nodded without thinking about it, "Okay...... Promise you it is. ”
Li Hengxin has never doubted his ability, the things he can forget basically belong to the things he is sure to do, and the things that he is not sure to do will be put in his heart.
After receiving Li Hengxin's repeated assurances, Pushton left in a huff.
Li Hengxin touched his head: "It seems that I am this busy life, and I can't be idle in this life......"
