Qian Lianggong walked into the main hall very helplessly, yawned and said, "You young people, you just have good energy!" He said to Xu Jingchang again, "Yibin has been busy for several days, aren't you tired?" ”

Ting Fang pursed her lips and smiled: "After surviving this year, I will wrap a big red envelope for Mr." ”

Qian Lianggong waved his hand: "I'm not a rare red envelope, it's true that Ming'er will let me take a day off." I'm getting old, I'm not in good spirits. ”

Zhou Yi stepped into the door just when he heard the last sentence, and said with a smile: "Mr. is too modest, and he has never reached the age to describe old people as strong." After saying that, he saw Hawke sitting next to him and was stunned for a moment. What are they going to do with a foreigner? But he came back to his senses for a moment, pretended not to see, and found a place to sit down.

Ting Fang laid out a piece of paper on the big case, on which a rough schematic diagram of Nanchang City was drawn, and several large functional areas were circled, which Ting Fang had just drawn casually. Qian Lianggong pointed to the map and said: "The city has been blistered by water, and almost everyone has suffered heavy losses. Simply re-planned, learn the style of Beijing, make a yamen, and make a market. ”

Xu Jingchang said: "That's exactly what you think, where to do it, please ask Mr. for advice." ”

Qian Lianggong said: "Let's discuss it, in a city, how many trades should be divided first, and each trade should be a territory, and then leave some margin." ”

Ting Fang said: "Those are easy to say, the important thing is the sewer." Drainage in the city and embankments along the river should be considered in unison. Nanchang is rainy, so avoid waterlogging as much as possible. They are all wooden houses, and the people can't slow down the flooding for a year or two. If the people are hard, it will be difficult to develop business, and it will be difficult to return to the capital in the next life if they wait for the crops in the field. Ting Fang vaguely pointed out the future goal, and said, "Again, remind you, now the capital is extremely difficult to live in, we just use the construction of Nanchang City to accumulate experience, when the capital is repaired, you can casually say one, two, three, four, why can't you show your face in front of His Highness?" You must know that even if you are from the dragon's work, you have to convince the hundred officials. Otherwise, they provoke today and call for tomorrow, and it will not be easy to deal with them and find faults, and it will not be easy to do serious things. There is no second martial arts and no first, and there is no good stubble in the court. ”

The people who will mix in the house in the house are Qian Lianggong and Zhou Yi. One of the two has no Jinshi fame, and the other is a martial artist, so they need some skill bonuses. Ting Fang originally thought that he would not be able to enter the center without Lizhou, but unfortunately the current rule is that Hanlin is the prime minister. If you want to change, you have to at least get in and talk about it.

This is a heartfelt statement, Zhou Yi smiled gratefully at Tingfang: "What the county lord said is very true, as the saying goes, you have to be hard to strike iron, let's practice a hard skill first, and the future of the province will be picky." ”

Xu Jingchang said again: "There may not be a charter tonight, let's think about it first." Two days later, the political envoy and the Nanchang County Commander and others made suggestions together. Reasoning commands and makes civil affairs careless, but now everything is waiting to be rebuilt, and they are just working together. In the end, it is always necessary to make a political envoy to make a decision. ”

Xu Jingchang set the tone, and several people began to discuss with each other. China has a tradition of urban planning, such as the capital city of the Tang Dynasty, which is very well-functioning and reasonable. Qian Lianggong read a lot of miscellaneous books, and summarized the regulations for the construction of the imperial city in one breath.

Hawke listened to it with great admiration, worthy of a country with a long history, although it had never developed industry, and its management experience was simply unparalleled. Compared to England at this time, China was undoubtedly poor. Especially after going deep into the interior, you can see ragged residents everywhere, and the weapons are even more backward. But the urban planning layout is so sophisticated. Listening to the meaning of the words of several people, the imperial city will be built in the future, and it can be seen that he is a figure in the center of power. Hawke's mind moved, and he felt that it was a good opportunity to infiltrate the capital, and immediately joined the discussion: "I have a proposal. ”

Xu Jingchang nodded: "Please speak." ”

Hawke said: "When I was in Guangzhou, I felt that it was very troublesome for you to transport goods on land. The bluestone road is very bumpy, and there are often large potholes on the loess road. When it rains heavily, the road surface is not walkable, and it is often impossible to unload goods. Our horse-drawn carriages that transport goods in Europe all follow the tracks. That would be much smoother, at least there would be no pits. ”

Xu Jingchang used more than half of the hydraulic track in Datong, which was very convenient, and as soon as Hawk reminded him, he immediately thought that it could be used in the city, and he was busy writing down and recording it.

It is not for nothing that Europe can invent the train. More than 2,000 years ago, there were railroad tracks in ancient Rome, so in the 19th century, when the steam engine technology matured, it wanted to replace the difficult horses with fuel, and the first steam train was born. The train's strong transportation capacity directly forced the dart game to death, severely damaged the Caoyun, and changed the way of warfare. After World War I, control of the railroads became a top priority. The more important the railway is in the future, and it is a good idea to start taking shape at this moment. But it is difficult for people who have never seen it to imagine, Qian Lianggong hurriedly asked: "What is the track?" ”

Xu Jingchang was very familiar with the track, so he casually drew a three-dimensional figure on the paper and explained: "It means the same as the rut, but the rut is a subsidence, and the track is a protrusion." The method is good, but it is too iron-consuming. In addition, the wheels of the carriage should be improved accordingly, which is somewhat inconvenient. What does the fourth sister think? ”

Hawke choked for a moment, you all know? Won't he be able to interject tonight?

There is Tingfang from the future, and Hawke really can't say anything. I only heard Tingfang say: "The priest's proposal is very good, if you want to get rich, you must first build a road." Laying the tracks before starting to build the house can save a lot of time by transporting materials. The track has to go in both directions, leaving a road in the middle for the carriages from other places. On both sides, only pedestrians pass. Make intersections at regular intervals to make it easier for pedestrians to cross the road. Ting Fang said while drawing a schematic diagram, incorporating the road design of later generations into the inspiration of the present, "In this way, the road occupies a very wide area, and it occupies more or less the territory where the people live." ”

Zhou Yi said with a smile: "The county lord must have a way!" ”

Qian Lianggong laughed: "Zhou Qianhu is a good fart!" ”

Zhou Yi said: "Where is the sycophant, it is clear that there is a price for vision, and the county lord just didn't write it on his face." ”

Ting Fang smiled: "I'm just going to say it, and I ask you to give me advice." After a slight pause, he added, "The house is built with two floors, the house does not need to be big, the function is considered, and the width of the road surface will be vacated." ”

Qian Lianggong frowned: "Are the people willing to listen?" ”

Ting Fang hooked the corners of her mouth: "I don't need them to listen." Most of them live in makeshift sheds that they can't afford to build. Let's set aside residential areas, some of which are built with wooden houses, some with brick and stone houses, and some with vacant land, which are sold separately. In this way, there is military spending. ”

Qian Lianggong hurriedly asked: "What about the original ones who had land?" ”

Ting Fang said: "They have land but no house, and they exchange the original land for the land on which the house was built, and they still have to pay for the house, right?" Or they may exchange large plots of land for small plots of land for houses. It is expected that it will be repaired by the end of this year, and people cannot be allowed to spend the winter in sheds, which are easy to freeze to death. So he asked them to write an IOU, and pay it off after the harvest next fall. Specifically, tomorrow I will find a political envoy to discuss, and this article will be written down first, and it will not be clear in a few words if it is implemented. ”

Xu Jingchang really remembered it quickly, but asked: "We don't have so much money to build houses in the city." ”

Qian Lianggong said: "That's good to say, let the word to the merchants, and share half of their profits." ”

Ting Fang smiled narrowly: "I didn't plan to build a house by myself. ”

Zhou Yiqi said: "That's what you just said?" ”

Ting Fang said: "In the past, Guan Zhong salt and iron were franchised, and it was already a huge profit to get stuck at the head and tail. We are officials, why bother grinding our teeth with the people? First the land was gathered, and then a factory was built to produce parts for the house. We just have to sell parts to the merchants, they build houses to make the difference, and in the end they sell the houses, we can ask the merchants to collect taxes. ”

Xu Jingchang has been in business for several years, and he can see it all at once: "In this way, craftsmen are needed to build houses and make parts, which can temporarily relieve the difficulties of the homeless." When there was a great flood, many families were left without population, and the land was deserted. In my opinion, if we ask the merchants to exchange grain for land, we can free up our hands. ”

Qian Lianggong touched his beard and said: "The difficulty is whether the merchants are willing to come to exchange land." ”

Attracting investment has always been an important task in inland cities, and it has never been easy to get the local tyrants into their own bowls to engage in economic construction. Ting Fang thought for a long time before saying, "Let's make preparations first, whether there are businessmen coming or not, the house will always be built." And wait for me to write a letter to Yang Tiju, he is in charge of salt transportation, which salt merchant doesn't have to please him? The salt merchant Zhifu Xiu said that a small Nanchang City, gathered together, I am afraid that the capital can be built properly. ”

Zhou Yi hurriedly asked: "Which one is Yang Tiju?" ”

Ting Fang said: "The father of my eldest aunt, his family is the prince of Zhenguo, he is a serious two-list jinshi, his family is rich, and Jane is in the emperor's heart." ”

Zhou Yi twitched the corners of his mouth, the granddaughter of the old family of the pavilion is not ordinary, there are relatives and friends in every corner, and she can really do whatever she wants.

Qian Lianggong said with a smile: "The county lord's grandfather's family is also a famous family. Lingtang's dowry silver, I heard Brother Ren say that it took two years to pay off the boat, so it's not hard! ”

Xu Jingchang said: "My mother-in-law didn't ask for it, it's still on the account of East Lake." ”

Qian Lianggong: "......"

Ting Fang stuck out her tongue: "She wrote to me to make a dowry." It's a pity that what we lack now is food, not money. ”

Xu Jingchang smiled, suddenly remembered something, and said lightly: "It's dark, let's discuss it tomorrow." Zhou Yi, you send Father Hawke back to his room and rest early. ”

Hawke worked as a set board for half a day, and he was very depressed. Forced smiled: "You're welcome, I'll leave first." "Urban planning can't be discussed in one night, Hawke is mainly to pull the relationship, and he is not in a hurry, and it is not easy to disturb Xu Jingchang and his wife to rest, so he had to leave first.

Qian Lianggong sat motionless in his position, Zhou Yi sent Hawke out of the door, turned back, and smiled at Xu Jingchang tacitly: "What do you have to say?" ”

Xu Jingchang said: "You two are too fine. ”

Zhou Yi said with a smile: "There has never been such a light discussion, and it has not been an hour yet, and the county lord is willing to let us go?" ”

Ting Fang pouted: "It's like I'm crazy." ”

Xu Jingchang said: "When it comes to food, I feel a little uneasy. Gyeonggi has long been evil. Teaching, the west is not peaceful, and there are changes in the south of the Yangtze River. The world believed that the shot shot shot the first bird, and now that the first bird has flown out of three, the people around him are afraid that they will be stupid. Stupid. Desire. move, and learn from the same. Therefore, the cash in our hands is still hoarded with food. And then there is what it looks like today, turning over this year, we must take Jiangxi, and Anhui at best. The territory is not large enough, there is not enough food, and there are not enough soldiers. Jiangnan has been rich since ancient times, and the Jingchu people are not easy to mess with, although we have plated a layer of skin in the imperial court, but we have really suffered a loss, and the imperial court is beyond the reach of the whip even if it wants to save it. It's really a warlord scuffle, Jiangxi is stuck in the middle, but it's embattled. ”

Zhou Yi said: "Therefore, there are not many soldiers, but they are fine." It's hard to raise a lot of people. ”

Xu Jingchang nodded: "It's time to move our firearms battalion over!" 166 Reading Network
