As the saying goes, there is nothing to do without going to the Three Treasures Palace. This time, Cao Minghao came to the emperor, of course, he had something to ask, so when Gao Junshan asked Cao Minghao, he replied: "Yes." If the student has something to do, he will come to ask the mountain chief for advice, and if there is any disturbance, please forgive the mountain chief. ”

Gao Junshan smiled: "You can come to see me, I am already very happy, why bother." Tell me, what's the matter with you? ”

Cao Minghao said: "For the current construction of Yangon, we hope to get the advice of the mountain chief. ”

Gao Junshan said: "I just got off the boat, and I was pulled here by General Hu, and I have no say in the construction of Yangon!" However, I can give you a few suggestions. First of all, the construction of Yangon focuses on the wharf and railway, and only when the wharf and railway are built well can we truly control it and use it to make Yangon the bridge capital of China connecting Europe and Africa in the South Seas. ”

At this time, a black maid brought tea, she bowed to Gao Junshan, and said in stiff Chinese: "Please use tea!" ”

The black maid set the teapot and poured tea for the emperor and the mayor before retreating.

Gao Junshan picked up the tea and said to Cao Minghao: "Come, drink tea!" ”

Cao Minghao picked up the teacup with both hands, and after offering tea to Gao Junshan, the two began to drink tea.

After a cup of tea, Gao Junshan continued: "When I came to Yangon, the first thing that made me happy was that the construction of the dock in Yangon was developing rapidly, and our twelve battleships were able to enter the dock, which is a great achievement for you!" ”

Cao Minghao said: "This is only the first phase of the wharf project, and the second phase of the project can start in the spring of next year." ”

Gao Junshan asked: "What are the projects of the second phase of the project?" ”

Cao Minghao replied: "The second phase of the project mainly focuses on the construction of a passenger terminal and the construction of a railway ocean intermodal terminal. ”

Gao Junshan approvingly: "You guys are very thoughtful! With the intermodal terminal, the materials transported from the mainland can be directly loaded onto the ship, and there is no need to go through the shipping procedures. ”

"That's right."

Gao Junshan asked: "How is the railway construction in Yangon going?" ”

Cao Minghao replied: "Back to Shanchang, the Yangon railway station is still under construction, the railway line has been surveyed, and ground can be broken soon." ”

Gao Junshan praised with satisfaction: "The engineers of railway construction have worked hard! How's your rail to Manchester City going? ”

Cao Minghao replied: "Since receiving the imperial order from the mountain chief to let us build a railway to Manchester City, we have dispatched some engineers to carry out line surveys, and now we have adopted the method of starting construction of two roads at the same time, and the Manchester section and Yangon section have built a total of more than 100 miles of railways. ”

Gao Junshan instructed: "You must seize the time, our country has a vast land area, and the frontiers and sea frontiers are even more than 10,000 miles, and if railways are built throughout the country, the impact on our politics, military, and economy will be immeasurable." With the trains, our army can be mobilized quickly, and more importantly, it will bring about earth-shaking economic development. At present, the distribution of resources and regional economic development in Huaxia is extremely unbalanced, especially in the border areas, where many ethnic minorities live together, and railway transportation can effectively connect all parts of the country and have an obvious linkage effect on the national economy due to its long distance, intensive scale and strong continuity, and weaken the uneven development of the national economy caused by spatial barriers and regional differences. In addition, as the backbone of China's comprehensive transportation network, the railway transportation industry is an important means to improve the imbalance of China's regional economic development, and it is also the main artery to change the unbalanced distribution of resources and industrial layout in China. ”

Cao Minghao said: "The mountain chief has been teaching us the importance of building roads in a country, and now you have further clarified the importance of railways to economic development from a military and economic perspective, and students have benefited a lot." There is another thing for students to ask. ”

"What's the matter?"

Cao Minghao said: "Yangon is not as good as the cities in the mainland, the ethnic composition here is very complex, not only the local Tu, but also many expatriates from various countries who have come to settle down, how should we manage them, and ask the mountain chief to give a clear instruction." ”

Gao Junshan said: "This is the second point I want to say. Yangon is ethnically diverse, including Han, Burmese, Shan, Malati, Bengali, Bihar, etc., and even many Europeans and Africans settled here, so it is not easy to manage Yangon. My advice to you is that we should not manage Yangon in the same way as other cities in our country, and you must remember that we must fully respect the local customs, respect the cultures and beliefs of all ethnic groups, and build Yangon into a new city of full freedom and democracy, a city where many religions coexist. We should not only allow Westerners to build churches here, but also allow local people to build monasteries and temples, and even more support our Han people to build altar temples, Buddhist temples, Taoist temples, archways, gardens and other buildings here, so as to build Yangon into a colorful and beautiful city. ”

Cao Minghao said: "Mountain Chief, with your instructions, the students' hearts are much brighter. Dissatisfied with the mountain chief, you said that Yangon is now full of churches and pagodas, and the students are not knowing how to manage them, but after listening to the teachings of the mountain chief, the students know how to manage them. ”

Gao Junshan said: "Urban construction is a very deep science, and now that Yangon is developing, you must plan well, whether it is to build a church or a temple, you must get the approval of the city yamen before you can start construction." Especially for streets and roads, there must be planning, traffic lights and zebra crossings should be set up at intersections, the city's underground sewage facilities should be complete, and the water supply system and power supply system should be considered in urban planning. We should take a long-term view, and it is best to take into account both the subway and the airport in urban construction, so as not to cause passivity to future work. ”

Gao Junshan knows that it is impossible to build a subway and an airplane without thirty or fifty years, and if these transportation facilities are taken into account in the early stage of urban planning, then such a city will not be outdated in a hundred years.

Although Cao Minghao heard it in a fog, after Gao Junshan's patient explanation, he still slowly understood and digested the future knowledge that Gao Junshan instilled in him.

Cao Minghao then asked Gao Junshan what other suggestions he had for the construction of Yangon.

Gao Junshan stretched out three fingers: "This third point is also the last point I want to talk about today. The city yamen should not invest too much in the construction of the city, and your main investment direction is the railway and the wharf, and you can build some parks and theaters appropriately. You should encourage private individuals to set up hospitals, schools and other service industries in Yangon, and encourage private individuals to buy land and build houses in Yangon. ”

……

The two were chatting in the living room, and before they knew it, Li Derong came with a telegram and said to Gao Junshan: "Your Majesty, this is a telegram from President Cai of the Military and Political Yuan. ”

Cao Minghao knew that he had delayed the emperor too much, and it was time for him to leave, so he got up and took the initiative to leave.

Gao Junshan did not stay, and only after Cao Minghao left did he open Cai Zhishan's telegram.
