The Marshal's Mansion is not far from the Fugui Palace, but you also need to take a car.

Today, the total population of Fengdu has exceeded 800,000.

If you look at the whole world, it can be said to be a megacity.

The urban population here refers to the population of the built-up area, which is an important indicator of the industrialization strength of a city in this era.

For example, Suzhou Prefecture now has a population of nearly four or five million, and it seems that Fengdu is far inferior to it.

But in fact, the vast majority of the population of Suzhou actually lives in the countryside and mainly works in agriculture.

Those who really live in the city are only 30~400,000 top heavens.

Another example is the so-called Shanghai, the largest port in the Far East, with an urban population of less than 300,000 at this time.

At the same time, 2 million in New York and 600,000 in Moscow, Tsarist Russia.

It can be said that Fengdu has already ranked among the world's second-tier, or quasi-first-tier cities.

However, the size of the city of the Ming Dynasty is still incomparable with the giant of the British Empire.

By this time, the total population of London had reached a staggering 5 million, and the population of Mumbai, the most important port in the East, was 800,000.

In other words, the largest metropolis of the Ming Dynasty is only comparable to the British colonial town in terms of population size.

Of course, there is no point in going to India compared to manpower.

I don't know how many of those 800,000 people are really "people".

But under British rule, some cities in India were indeed the most industrialized in Asia.

Although this first is the brutal exploitation of other regions, the formation of deformities first.

All in all, if you do a population ranking, Fengdu has quietly become one of the top 20 metropolises in the world.

As soon as the population grows, it is inevitable that the metropolis will have governance problems.

For example, garbage disposal and burials, such as medical facilities and policing management.

If there are many successful cases in solving the above problems, then the most difficult is probably urban congestion.

Historically, in another 40 years, Ford cars sold all over the United States, and New York and Chicago were all turned into blockades.

And now, Glorious Sun Automobile is repeating the glory of Ford little by little, and Daming's infrastructure transportation is also facing huge challenges.

Fortunately, Xinfeng is a new city built with modern ideas, avoiding many thunderstorms in later generations.

For example, many people feel that the city of Beijing in later generations is better designed and more in line with international practice than other cities that always build new cities and development zones.

This view is actually incorrect and incomplete.

It is based on the old city as a single center, expanding outward layer by layer;

is still like Tang Chang'an, according to a certain function, build different fang cities or new urban areas piece by piece;

These two ideas of city building have been debated at home and abroad for a long time.

In addition to Beijing, the most typical masterpiece of the former is the "Greater London Plan" presided over by Apoclambi.

A single center, several large ring roads around it, and a green park at the outermost point to delimit the city limits.

If you want to expand, build a satellite city outside of this city.

This is the most classic and popular way of urban construction in later generations.

This was true in Europe, in the Soviet Union.

The typical representative of the opposite is actually Shenzhen.

At the beginning, China's local urban planners looked at the rotten land in the small fishing village, and they could not apply the "Greater London Plan" at all, so they could only explore a new design model while building convenience.

From the very beginning, the construction of Shenzhen did not have a central point, but a scattered and decentralized multi-point development.

Even creatively established the concept of development zones.

But it's not because Shenzhen's designers are so far-sighted.

The later success of Shenzhen's urban construction was more of an accident, but in the dark, this success was secretly in line with the traditional wisdom of the ancestors.

Later, the construction of many cities across the country, including Shanghai's Pudong New Area, borrowed this idea.

Zhu Fugui stood on the shoulders of future generations and looked back on history, and naturally knew that the facts proved that the Shenzhen model was more flexible and creative than the London model, although it could not please OCD patients.

Moreover, Fengdu is much larger than Shenzhen, and there are no landlords in urban villages - those "hardcore crops" will definitely develop even better.

At least, nowadays, although Rising Sun cars are widely popular, the traffic congestion in Fengdu is still within the bearable range.

In the initial design of Fengdu, Fugui Palace was located in the southwest corner of the city, which is a mountainous area, and is adjacent to Tianziyan Square to the north.

The six yamen, the Jinyi Guard, the North and South Zhenfu Division, the Imperial Prison, and other important departments of the imperial court were located on the adjacent plain.

This place also rightfully became the administrative center of the entire Ming Empire.

The proximity of various departments to the office can improve efficiency, especially the Jinyi Guard, which is leveraged.

Of course, more importantly, such a layout reduces the distance travels for ministers and greatly reduces the pressure on security.

With the development of Fengdu, the population composition of the city is not as simple as before.

Even if it is political censorship + household registration management, a metropolis with a population of 800,000 will inevitably be mixed with some ill-intentioned people.

In the past six months, Jinyiwei has cracked 3 horrific actions to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor, and the masterminds behind the scenes are directly aimed at the Forbidden City.

Cixi old witch ...... Xingzhen's little demon woman's ability to fight black guns is a must, and Zhu Fugui has to guard against it.

He didn't want to be a short-lived ghost like Ferdinand, nor did he want to be a veteran brainchild like Lincoln.

However, Zhu Fugui's security force is very strong, and it is actually safer than ordinary ministers.

At the same time, the little demon woman Xingzhen herself stayed in the deep palace all day long, and it was difficult for Daming to start.

And Zhu Fugui is honest, and he has no interest in assassinating her.

Daming can't do without Zhu Fugui, but the pseudo-Qing Dynasty has no Cixi is actually the same.

Today, the Southeast Mutual Insurance appeared 34 years ahead of schedule, and the domestic situation in the Manchu Qing Dynasty has changed drastically, and there is no room left in history for Cixi to move around and exert her political skills.

As Zhu Fugui can see, this Great Qing Kingdom is afraid that it is a pill!

Zhu Fugui has no doubt that even if he dies on the spot now and the Ming Dynasty disintegrates on the spot, it will be absolutely impossible for him to survive in the Qing Dynasty until 1912.

The most likely situation is that the front foot of the Ming Dynasty died violently, the back foot of the Qing Dynasty returned to the west, and the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty walked side by side on the Huangquan Road, and the picture was so beautiful that I didn't dare to look at it.

Therefore, Zhu Fugui did not have any sense of urgency to kill Cixi, but he did not come to be rude.

So the Ming Dynasty, which has a clear destiny, is making waves overseas, how can there be no loyal people in China?

In Beijing and other places, a spy network has begun to take shape.

Yin Weasel assured His Majesty Zhu Fugui that Jin Yiwei would strive to give her a big gift at Yehenala Xingzhen's 31st birthday banquet on November 29 this year on the premise of ensuring the safety of the informant.
