Nanjing is busy moving the capital, and at this moment in Beijing, Zhu Wenkui is also having a headache.

After receiving Zhu Yunwen's appointment, the new Beijing prefect took office and arrived in Beijing before the imperial court team went north.

Zhu Wenkui took the sea and went directly north to Pingjin Port, and then transferred to the carriage into the city.

As soon as he entered Beijing, Zhu Wenkui was very satisfied with the scenery he saw along the way.

The north has always been bitter, especially Beijing, an important town of Yanyun, before and after a small 500-year battle, even fifteen years ago, when Zhu Di led the troops to the north to conquer the grassland, when Zhu Yunwen arrived in Beijing, he felt that this was simply a garrison fortress.

The business is basically zero, and the people are only 30,000 or 40,000.

In just 15 years, especially before the start of the Second Five-Year Plan, after the news that the imperial court was about to move the capital, almost all the wealthy businessmen in Hebei, Liaodong, Shanxi and other places, and even the whole country moved their families to Beijing.

In the first few years of the Third Five-Year Plan, the cabinet had begun to consciously adjust the production planning of the surrounding areas of Beijing, with the aim of enabling Beijing to achieve self-sufficiency in production resources from the beginning of the relocation of the capital, and to raise and establish a number of commercial and trade towns around Beijing.

Now that Zhu Wenkui sees Beijing again, it is already a large city with a resident population of 700,000.

"Businessmen tend to profit, although the fallen leaves return to their roots, they are still reluctant to let their families go, and if the family moves, they will naturally not be so resistant."

The Tongzhi of the Beijing Mansion introduced Zhu Wenkui to the completely new Beijing in front of him.

"At present, Beijing is mainly five horizontal and seven vertical, square and square planning, the palace sits in the north and faces south, and out of the Chengtian Gate is Chang'an Street, which connects the east and west exits of the whole city.

To the south, there are the Green Dragon, the Vermilion Bird, the White Tiger and the Xuanwu, which are named after the Four Holy Beasts.

The seven vertical roads are named after the Big Dipper.

From the east of the city to the west of the city, it is Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang and Yaoguang Road. Facing the Chengtian Gate of the Imperial Palace is Tianquan Street.

The palace is divided into the imperial city and the palace city, the outer nine and the inner five, the nine gates are the Chengtian Gate in the south, the left and right are the auxiliary gate Wenhua and Wuying.

Carriage of the East, Donghua.

Due West's Mandate, Xihua.

Chengde and Taiping in the north.

Baiguan went up to the Chengtian Gate, all the way along the road on both sides of Wencheng Wude and crossed the Inner Jinshui Bridge to enter the Fengtian Temple.

Fengtian Hall is left and right for Wuying Hall and Wenhua Palace.

To the north of the Fengtian Palace, there are two halls of canopy and the body, and the hall of the body is further north, and it is to enter the palace city.

There are five gates of the palace city, and the one that is facing the temple is the Qianqing gate.

The other four gates are respectively in the Kunning Palace, the East and West Six Palaces and the north, the outer gate of the Kunning Palace is called the Kunning Gate, the East Palace is the Rijing Gate, and the West Palace is the Yuehua Gate. After the north position, it was originally called Xuanwu Gate, but the name of the cabinet was not satisfied, and it was rejected. ”

The group chatted while walking, and soon walked out of the palace, and stepped on the main road of Chang'an Avenue by the five Jinshui bridges outside the Chengtian Gate.

The design of the Beijing Imperial Palace is very different from the original history of the Beijing Forbidden City, which is basically simpler.

It follows the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and the three talents of heaven, earth and man.

Standing on the main road of Chang'an Street, Tongzhi Chen Zhao tore open a map with both hands and introduced it to Zhu Wenkui.

"Your Highness, please look, we are standing in front of the main gate of Chengtianmen, standing on this north-south width of 15 zhang is Chang'an Street, and to the south of Chang'an Street, it is Chengtianmen Square.

The southern exit of the square is connected to Tianquan Street.

On the east side of the palace is the Taimiao Temple, and on the west side is the Sheji Altar.

To the east along Chang'an Avenue at our feet, there are the main public offices under the management of various ministries and central governments, including the Hanlin Academy, the Federation of Industry and Commerce, the Central Bank of Daming and the Ming Union Auditorium.

To the west is the residence of several cabinet ministers, ministers and officials of the second rank and above.

In addition to these, the whole city of Beijing does not arrange merchants and people according to the ratio of three to seven, so there is no strict concept of so-called commercial district or residential area.

However, in general, the closer you are to Chang'an Avenue and the Imperial Palace, most of the people who live there are wealthy businessmen and dignitaries.

Especially to the south of Chengtianmen Square, on the east and west sides of Tianquan Street, the seven- to nine-storey buildings that have been built now have been basically full, and the shops are basically opened around this area, so the entire Tianquan Street, no matter day or night, is basically full of people and noisy. ”

It was not true to say it alone, Chen Zhao simply led Zhu Wenkui, and the group did not take a car, but walked through Chang'an Avenue, which was empty because of control, and then walked through the empty Chengtianmen Square, and stepped all the way south to Tianquan Street.

There is no need to walk up in person, Zhu Wenkui can already feel that his eyes are useless just by standing at the south gate of Chengtianmen Square and looking south.

On the east and west sides of the entire Tianquan Street, the sidewalks are crowded with dense people.

Inside the countless shops on the street, every house is full of people, Zhu Wenkui glanced left and right, and could see hundreds of towering high-rise buildings.

Taking the telescope that he carried with him, Zhu Wenkui put it on his nose and could clearly see that almost every building had signs of people living in it, because most of the clothes and quilts were hung outside the windows.

Tianquan Street connects the four east-west main roads of Qinglong, Vermilion, Baihu and Xuanwu, and there is an auxiliary road on the east and west sides, the east side is Tianquan East Street, and the west side is Tianquan West Street, which is also connected to the south of the four east-west main roads.

In addition, the north of Tianshu and Tianxuan streets is connected by three east-west short roads, and from north to south are Hebei Road, Shandong Road and Henan Road.

The northern part of Kaiyang and Yaoguang streets are connected by three east-west short roads, from north to south are Gansu Road, Sichuan Road and Yunnan Road.

In this way, the entire city of Beijing was divided into 60 areas, except for the Imperial Palace, the Taimiao, the Sheji Altar, and the Chengtianmen Square.

According to the name of Jiazi, the first branch of the heavenly and earthly branches, at present, more than 600,000 people live in 12 districts, including Jiazi, Yichou, Bingyin, Dingmao, Wuchen, Jisi, Gengwu, Xinwei, Renshen, Guiyou, Jiaxu, and Yihai, and the remaining 48 districts only live in less than 100,000. ”

Zhu Wenkui sighed in surprise, raised his hand and pointed to Tianquan Street in front of him.

"Do you mean that the dozen or so blocks demarcated by Tianquan Street in front of the palace are more than ninety percent of the people in the entire Beijing City?"

Chen Zhao smiled bitterly: "Yes, when the city was first built, we estimated that the maximum number of people in Beijing was 1.2 million to 1.8 million, but it turned out that this kind of high-rise building can really fill people.

If the whole of Beijing were to build residential houses in such high-rise buildings, then at least 8 million people could live in the entire 60 districts of Beijing. ”

Zhu Wenkui gasped.

A city, eight million inhabitants?

What a concept!

"In the pre-Qin period, the old Qin who swallowed the six countries was less than 5 million Dingkou, doesn't it mean that it is easy for the whole Beijing to accommodate the people of a country in one city?"

"It's really not that hard."

Chen Zhao responded: "At present, the twelve districts in the city have not yet achieved full occupancy, because there are many rich people who are often buying ten or eight houses, plus some of the original residents of the original twelve districts are demolished, and they often have seven or eight houses as soon as they are demolished, and they are all pressed in their hands and not moved."

Those poor who moved to Beijing from other provinces could only build small bungalows in remote corners of the eastern or western parts of the city.

There are very few people who spend money to buy houses and live here, so the 600,000 people in these 12 districts are actually only about 70% of the capacity rate, and 30% of the empty houses are basically concentrated in the hands of a large group of wealthy businessmen or real estate chambers of commerce. ”

There are no fools who can do business in this world.

Daming is going to move the capital, what will rise the fastest in Beijing at that time?

The house price is second to none!

"In the past, it was only 60 feet per foot, but now the housing prices in the 12 districts of the city have soared to 15 per foot, and they are still appreciating, and the cheapest of a 1,200-square-foot house is 200,000 yuan smaller."

Zhu Wenkui calculated in his heart.

If the exchange of silver and bronze bills is not canceled, does it not mean that a house is worth two hundred taels of silver?

A worker's income is only fifty or sixty a day, and he can save 15,000 a year without eating or drinking for a month, or 18,000 a year.

It is the husband and wife who work together to remove the cost of eating and drinking.

Doesn't it mean that it will take ten years to afford a house in Beijing?

Zhu Wenkui, who came to this conclusion, suddenly gasped.

"It's no wonder that under the view of this palace, the people in front of me are all dressed brightly, and their feelings are all rich people."

After sighing, Zhu Wenkui frowned again.

We have to find a way to keep housing prices down, so that we can attract more people to Beijing.

I have to say that Chen Zhao's sentence that the city can accommodate 8 million people really made Zhu Wenkui excited.

Not to mention eight million, even if it can reach three million one day, how energetic is he, the prefect of Beijing?
