Seeing that the crowd was all excited, Liu Ximing simply talked a few more words about the situation in the world, and later found that the topic was getting more and more deviated, so he suddenly turned the scope of the discussion back to town planning.

Liu Ximing continued to point to the village and said: "Let's continue to talk about this, the suggestions put forward by everyone just now are very good, at present, we will preliminarily settle down to build a wooden fence around the west of the village, and dig a trench outside to attract river water to block the enemy by land." As for the enemies coming from the water, let's go to the river and see it later. ”

After carefully observing the situation of the entire village, Liu Ximing finally knew why there were only 100 people in Zhangjiawan Village in a seemingly vast piece of land, on the one hand, it was not as densely populated as in later generations, and on the other hand, I am afraid that it was because of the fact that this zigzag bay was surrounded by water on three sides, and it would be flooded once or twice a year, and ordinary poor people would be willing to come here to open up wasteland.

"After talking about the military, the second question is to consider the people's residence, which should be divided into living environment and industrial planning, the so-called living environment refers to how to make the people in the village live in a stable and comfortable place, you have all been to the city before, but do you remember the trees and those drainage ditches planted in the city?"

Seeing that everyone nodded, Liu Ximing gave everyone an approving look and continued to talk about this.

"These are all measures to improve the living environment, and in the future, we will build a village according to the scale of the town, and then not only will trees be planted on both sides of each road, but also a sewer will be dug under the town, and the domestic sewage, waste water generated by the workshop, and natural rainwater will be discharged through the sewer."

"Second brother, we probably know about this residence and environment, but what is this industrial planning?" , Mu Jingnan's brain is more active, and the whole person reveals a sense of cleverness, and he directly asked everyone's doubts.

Liu Ximing smiled at him and nodded: "The so-called industrial planning refers to what the people here make a living from, if most of them rely on farming or breeding, this is called agriculture and animal husbandry; If it is all dependent on weaving, iron-making, etc., it is called industry-oriented; There are also restaurants and inns that provide services for travelers, which is called the service industry. For the sake of convenience, I will refer to them as primary, secondary, and tertiary. ”

Wei Jingguo turned his head and asked Xu Wei in a low voice: "Xu Wei, do you scholars have so many doors?" ”

"That, maybe it's the second brother's genius, and ordinary masters can't tell him this." , Xu Wei replied with a smile, he muttered in his heart, at least I haven't heard of these things.

The feeling of pretending to be forced is so cool, Liu Ximing looked at a group of teenagers looking at him with admiration like a good baby, he couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart, cleared his throat twice and continued: "In the past thousands of years, all scholars who work hard will inevitably attach importance to industrial development, the farthest such as Guan Zhong, he is the earliest sage in China's history to attach importance to industrial and commercial development, and Qi Huan Gong developed into the head of the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons with his assistance. Recently, such as the Yongjia school of the Zhejiang political envoy of this dynasty, its school attaches great importance to the development of commerce, and it is quite rich in Wenzhou and other places where it is located. ”

"If we want to expand our power, making money is the primary task, if we just rely on farming, even if there are 10,000 acres of fertile land, we will only get 10,000 taels of silver, according to each team member a year 12 taels of silver, plus equipment and materials, etc., this is only enough to raise 500 team members at most, but where is it enough, so the next step is to consider opening a workshop, which should be planned in advance at the beginning of construction, one to make the entire urban area clean and orderly, the people live more comfortably, and the other can also improve the efficiency of the workshop."

As Liu Ximing narrated the limited knowledge in his mind, the young people of the Liu family seemed to feel that a new window had opened in front of them, and it turned out that there was so much knowledge in everything they did, such as Xu Wei and Yu Yongkai, who had read books, were even more impacted.

In the past, Zhangjiawan Village was a crooked and slanted line, with most of the villagers living near the village, while some farmers lived scattered in the fields outside the village, and the whole village was still a long way from the river in order to avoid the rising water in summer.

According to Liu's long-term plan, he planned to build a dam along the river, so that a large area of land from the riverside to the mainland could be used to build houses and factories.

Considering that in the future the entire village will be its own industrial base, the village dock must also be expanded.

The construction of the whole village was built according to the scale of a small town, and it has been repaired from the wharf to the location of the current Liu family's house, which is about seven miles long and five miles wide, covering an area of about 13,000 acres.

At that time, a hardened road along the wharf that could pass six horse-drawn carriages side by side through the city was built to serve as the main road of the entire town, and at the same time, the Liu family's house was moved to the center of the town, taking into account the role of the government affairs center.

As for other areas, Liu Ximing decided to build various functional areas according to the modern thinking concept, combined with the living environment, traffic congestion and other factors, according to the planning of the inner commercial area, the middle residential area, and the outer industrial area. The advantage of this is that the planning is clear, and at the same time, the distribution of commercial areas, residential areas and industrial areas can effectively increase living comfort, improve the travel efficiency of residents, and reduce the possible urban congestion in the future.

Fortunately, labor and management have played construction games, and Comrade Liu is crooked and his heart is bubbling with beauty.

However, of course, such a large project can not be completed all at once, not to mention the construction of embankments, or filling in the height of the village along the river on three sides is a big problem, and the 500 or so people can only do some preliminary work first, and the rest can only wait for enough manpower to develop slowly.

As for the housing problem of the 500 people now, it is definitely unrealistic to want to build 100 houses at once, although there is a bit of drought in Shunqing Mansion this year, but it is not a problem for so many people to live in the open every day.

Liu Ximing decided to build a few rows of houses next to the Liu family's house for everyone to live in temporarily, and then they moved out later, these houses and the Liu family's old house happened to be used as a military academy and dormitory area, and it was close to the town border, which was also convenient for rapid defense.

The group watched Liu Ximing take a piece of paper to write and draw for most of the day, and finally formed a drawing marked with different slashes and black dots, listening to the second brother say that this is called regional identification, after drawing the black dots, the house will be built, and the workshop will be built after the thick slash, etc., and the content of the whole drawing is very clear.

After taking everyone around the river, Liu Ximing's confidence in the plan increased a little, and most of the three sides of the village along the river were flooded, and all that was exposed was muddy land, and only the line from the wharf to the village was exposed because of the higher terrain.

In this way, the current defense system of the village is relatively easy to build, and it is only necessary to build a wooden fence about three or four miles long along the wall of Liu's house and the dormitory, and then build a wooden wall at the dock, and if the enemy attacks, he can only enter through the two remaining gates.

But defensive operations must have long-range weapons, before Liu Ximing asked who among these craftsmen recruited by his family would make bows and crossbows, who knew that everyone looked at each other, not to mention the complex structure of this thing, the raw material requirements are relatively high, I am afraid that only craftsmen in the army will do it.

It seems that the blacksmith shop must be built quickly, and anyway, I have a detailed method of making the Rummy Gun, so I can try to instruct these craftsmen to make a musket. When the time comes, leave a shooting hole in the wooden wall, the enemy will attack from the outside, and our army will shoot inside, so it should be no problem to deal with a small group of enemies.

"Hey, it's still too little manpower", Liu Ximing sighed.

"Li Xi, can you test the method of preparing the stone slurry I taught you before?"

As soon as Liu Ximing returned to the brick kiln, he pulled the mason Li Xi and a few others over and asked.

If you want to build embankments and harden the pavement, of course, you can't do without cement, Liu Ximing knows a little about the formula of cement, the simplest Polante cement is made of limestone, clay mixed with cinder or iron ore powder and other raw materials.

Fortunately, my brother read historical novels, Liu Ximing thought with a smile, if it weren't for these novels to popularize knowledge, who would have thought of understanding how cement is made and how glass is burned, this operation is too angry.
