Chapter 75: Renderings of the New Town
It has been two months since the Earl of Satsuma presented the master plan for the city of Bunta in front of Xu Yi, but in fact progress in this regard has been active and slow.
One is because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Amritri Chamber of Commerce, which are mainly responsible for the first phase of the project, could not get away some time ago, and the other is because the overall planning project encountered difficulties at the beginning.
The first phase of the renovation project, which was decided by Xu Yi and the Count of Satsuma, included several private estates of the nobility in addition to the two villages.
In comparison, the villagers in those two villages were more numerous, but they were very easy to deal with.
Xu Yi went over with the order of the City Lord's Mansion, and none of the villagers in those two villages raised any objections, no matter what Xu Yi said, they obediently complied.
What really made Xu Yi and President Cruise feel troublesome was the few noble territories that were not large.
For the nobles on the Sainz continent, the private territory is their own, and even His Majesty the King cannot dispose of it at will, so Xu Yi must get the consent of these nobles if he wants to do something to these noble territories outside Bonta City.
The problem is that apart from two of the more enlightened nobles who agreed to the construction of the Amrley Chamber of Commerce on his territory, the rest of the nobles did not understand what the so-called overall renovation of Bonta City was all about, and naturally did not agree.
As a result, the project was delayed by these stubborn aristocrats, and the progress was extremely slow.
Count Satsuma was very dissatisfied with this situation, and after asking Xu Yi and President Cruise the reason, he specially organized this banquet. Not only all the nobles in the city of Bontha, but also all the chambers of commerce.
In addition to trying to convince those stubborn aristocrats. Let them understand the significance of the Bangta City renovation project, but also the meaning of raising donations from more chambers of commerce.
After saying the opening remarks. Count Satsuma quickly got to the point, explaining in detail the ideas in the plan book that Xu Yi had shown before.
Everyone in the audience was a little confused at first, but as Count Satsuma gradually explained in depth, they gradually showed a thoughtful expression.
It should be said that Count Satsuma had a very good idea of a complete transformation of the city of Bonta City.
Because of the rise of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the current Bangta City has led to the emergence of many chamber of commerce factories, and because of the various magic machinery produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the production efficiency of the original other major chambers of commerce has been greatly improved, and these chambers of commerce have also further developed and expanded.
As a result, numerous new factories have opened in the city of Bang Ta. Countless jobs have been created, and as a result, a large number of people have been brought to the city, making the otherwise quiet city of Bangta extremely prosperous and lively.
But this also poses a huge problem.
Originally a small city with a population of only about 50,000, the city was not developed in all aspects, regardless of municipal and people's livelihood, but now it suddenly has so many factories and so many more people, which is like a great disaster for this small city.
If nothing else, Bangta City now transports several times more manure every day than before. It has put a lot of pressure on the city administration of Bonta.
If this continues, sooner or later Bonta City will be overwhelmed by these pressures.
"Guys, I don't think anyone wants to live in a chaotic and disorganized city. So in order to change the current situation, I have carefully considered it. It was decided to renovate the city of Bangta as a whole. ”
At this, Count Satsuma paused and looked around. Seeing that everyone in the audience showed thoughtful expressions, he nodded with satisfaction. "Of course, there is no way to renovate the city of Bonta. And Bonta City is too small to handle so many people, so my goal is to be outside the city. As for how to renovate the outside of the city, we have to listen to the thoughts of Xu Yi, an expert in this field and the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. ”
Xu Yi walked up to the stage with a smile under the gaze of everyone, took over the position of Count Satsuma, bowed slightly to everyone below, and said with a smile: "The city lord has praised me too much, I am not an expert in this area, but I just had some relevant experience when I developed the Falling Rain Valley before." ”
Hearing Xu Yi mention the Falling Rain Valley, everyone in the audience whispered.
After the opening of the Falling Rain Highway, many people would take a horse-drawn carriage on the Falling Rain Highway just for curiosity, and naturally many people went to the Falling Rain Valley.
Then everyone found that the Falling Rain Valley, which was originally extremely barren and almost useless, has now become a very beautiful and spectacular place after the continuous development and construction of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Many people will be as amazed as President Pompeiy after seeing the beautiful factory and living area in the Falling Rain Valley.
So when they learned that Count Satsuma handed over the overall renovation project of Bangta City to Xu Yilai to complete, not many people were surprised.
"First of all, I'm going to show you a few paintings. ”
At Xu Yi's suggestion, two attendants from the City Lord's Mansion walked up with a few scrolls and shelves in their hands, and then unfolded these paintings on the shelves one by one.
When everyone's eyes fell on the scroll, they saw beautiful landscapes.
In the middle picture, the protagonist is a river, but this river is different from the river that everyone remembers.
The banks of the river are not filled with sediment, but are blocked by very neat and beautiful embankments made of unknown materials.
The river is clear and rippling with blue waves, and a variety of trees and flowers are planted on both sides of the embankment.
On both sides of the river, there is a concrete road that is not particularly spacious, but it is extremely flat, and under the cover of greenery, several men and women, young and old, are strolling along the river, blowing a cool breeze.
Next to the road, there are several smooth lawns, and many children are running and frolicking on the lawn, with happy smiles on their faces.
Just seeing this picture, everyone in the audience couldn't help but be amazed.
If there is any river that looks neat and clean, then I must be willing to go to the river at dusk to take a walk and blow the wind.
"President Xu, you put these paintings out now. Do you want to tell us about the river on this painting? Is that the river outside Bonta now?" asked one of the people in the audience in a loud voice.
"That's right, the river on this painting. It's the renovated Sandy River, what do you think?" Xu Yi asked with a smile.
"It's good, it's good, but how can Sandy River become what you look like in this painting?"
"That is, as long as the Sandy River does not flood every year, it is good, how can it become so beautiful. ”
"President Xu, this is a complete fantasy, it is impossible to realize it. ”
"yes......"
......
Seeing that everyone in the audience echoed each other, Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Who said it was impossible? I don't believe you to ask President Cruise, what has become of the Sandy River in the upper reaches of the Rainfall Forest." ”
Everyone looked at Moon Cruise, the president of the Amrley Chamber of Commerce, who was sipping red wine.
Cruise put down his glass. A smug smile to everyone.
"President Xu is right, Sandy River doesn't look very good right now, but it's not difficult to change it to the way it looks like this painting. For more than a year, we at the Amritra Chamber of Commerce have been renovating the embankment of the upper reaches of the Sandy River northwest of the Falling Rain Forest, and now we are beginning to see results. Although it is not as beautiful as the painting in this painting, it is not far off. ”
"Well, I went to the orc tribe of the Black Rice Wasteland some time ago, and I passed through the upper reaches of the Sandy River on the way, but I found that the Sandy River, which was almost wiped out, has now completely changed. It's pretty much the same as the one on the picture now. I just saw some people busy on the embankment, but I didn't expect them to be workers from the Amrley Chamber of Commerce. ”
Everyone turned their heads to look and found that the person who said this was Relsa, the president of the Renekton Chamber of Commerce in the city, which specializes in reselling business with orcs.
Because of the business of the Chamber of Commerce, he occasionally went to the orc tribe in person. On the way, you will pass through the upper Sandy River.
Since he said so, it seems that this should be true.
Seeing the change in the expressions of everyone in the audience, Xu Yi clapped his hands. Drawing everyone's attention, he pointed to another painting and said, "Let's look at this painting again." I think everyone should see that. This is a picture of the past seen from above. Notice that there is a castle on the right. It represents the city of Bonta, where we are now. And here on the left is the Sanchiton Manor, where our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is currently located. As for the wide white lines on this painting, I think everyone should have guessed that they all represent highways. ”
Even if they had indeed guessed it, everyone was still surprised when they heard Xu Yi say it at this moment.
"President Xu, are there so many highways?" "I can understand that you Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will build a road from Bonta City to Sanchiton Manor, but if you build so many useless roads, then there is no need, right?"
"It's useless?" Xu Yi smiled and waved his hand. "No, there will be no useless roads in this world. The reason why I have marked so many roads on this map is to tell you that I really intend to do so, and at the same time, I have commissioned the Amritri Chamber of Commerce to conduct a field survey of the roads that these roads will pass, and as long as there are no problems with the results, the construction of these roads will begin at the same time. ”
"That's right. We, the Amritri Chamber of Commerce, are very professional in building roads, and since President Xu has asked us, then we will definitely repair these roads. President Cruise nodded in response. "In addition, I can also remind you here that if anyone here is interested in building roads, you can come to me at any time to discuss. ”
Xu Yi laughed: "President Cruise, I just want you to confirm the facts I just said, but I didn't let you take the opportunity to advertise." ”
Everyone in the audience couldn't help but laugh.
"Of course, building the highway is not something that President Crews and I can say, and we need everyone's support. ”
Hearing Xu Yi's words, the businessmen in the audience looked at the nobles on the other side.
Everyone knew in their hearts that Xu Yi's words were talking about those stubborn nobles.
At this moment, a cold snort suddenly sounded in the crowd of nobles.
"Hmph! President Xu really talks to himself, are you alone in Bangta City?" (to be continued......)
