The reconstruction of the lower city began quickly after the ceremony of the construction of the city.

The streets and large areas of container houses that had been destroyed by the soldiers of the Parliament were all demolished and replaced by neat buildings and supporting facilities.

On the same day, the various new departments of the Lower Town were also announced and began their work.

The Lower City Council, which once covered the sky with one hand, has become a thing of the past.

The more detailed division of work not only greatly improved the work efficiency, but also made the administrative system of the lower city more enlightened and complete.

A large number of infrastructure projects not only stimulated the economic development of Xiacheng, but also attracted more and more businessmen to Xiacheng due to the huge demand for building materials.

The lower city is also unprecedentedly open and tolerant, welcoming merchants and foreigners from all over the world.

This city, which was once covered in fog all day long, has shown its vitality to the world.

When the merchants of the various city-states once again came to the city that had been full of extremism, crime, and ruffians.

To their astonishment, all of this was gone.

Orderly order, there are patrolling sheriffs passing by from time to time on the street, there are security stations at every intersection, and any problems can be dealt with for you as soon as possible, and safety has been carved into the bones of the lower city.

All those living in the Lower Town were granted the status of residents of the Lower Town and were issued with personal documents. At the same time, it is convenient to manage, and it can also eliminate black accounts and fight crime.

All residents with ID will be protected by Downtown laws and enjoy all Downtown benefits.

The gambling and meat businesses that used to be ubiquitous have also been banned, and the people of the lower city have better jobs, and no one wants to do this anymore.

Displaced and homeless people have been sheltered, sheltered and employed, and former slums have been transformed into construction sites.

Middlemen and bounty hunters were also regulated, and there were many intermediary offices in the lower city that endorsed in the name of the city-states, in which citizens could issue commissions or take tasks at will.

No longer have to worry about employers taking money and running away or posting unshakable tasks.

The most valuable land in the lower city was also planned to be planted with potatoes, which completely replaced wheat as the most important food and cash crops in the lower city.

The use of a large number of agricultural machinery and large-scale planting allowed Xiacheng to achieve food self-sufficiency within a year.

In addition to infrastructure and production, Gu Shun also paid special attention to the development of education, and built a large number of schools in Xiacheng, so that all children in Xiacheng could receive education free of charge, and all school-age children were eligible to go to school.

Children who once relied on begging, stealing, or struggling to survive were given subsidies from the lower towns, so they could live without having to work.

At the same time, they were all placed in school, and when they walked into the spacious and bright classrooms, many children choked up and couldn't speak, something they never dreamed of before.

Gu Shun knew that Xiacheng was constrained by various factors such as geographical location, self-isolation policy, and people's perceptions, resulting in technology being far behind the times.

After Gu Shun ascended to the position of city lord, he sent a large number of outstanding students to study in various developed city-states.

At the same time, with the greatest sincerity, we invite various high-tech enterprises and scholars to settle down in Xiacheng to build factories and give lectures.

With the introduction of a large number of preferential and incentive policies, the development of Xiacheng is changing with each passing day. Encouraging innovation and advocating science has gradually become the consensus of the residents of the lower city.

In the market in the lower city, some merchants selling artificial chips and artificial intelligence robots have gradually appeared.

Countless citizens from the lower city gathered around as they did when they watched the lottery of food coupons.

These novelty, high-tech items quickly became in-demand and took Downtown by storm.

The merchants also did not expect that the transformation of the lower city to embrace new things would be so rapid, and the goods that could not be brought in at all before could now be sold casually in the lower city.

At the same time, with the support of the city-state of Xiacheng, a large number of technology factories were also set up and put into production in the city-state, and the originally high prices of technology products, simulation chips and wearable devices also became cabbage prices under the subsidies of the city-state.

Profiteering and fanaticism have quickly made Downtown a hot spot for businessmen and tech companies.

With the establishment of many technology factories and the promotion and popularization of analog chips and wearable devices, more and more people in the lower city know about the third-generation Internet called the metaverse.

Half a year later, with the completion of the Xiacheng Metaverse server and management center, Xiacheng finally made great strides to catch up with the times.

And in the most difficult pollution remediation, Gu Shun did not fall behind.

The large amount of pollution emitted from the upper city, the exhaust gases, sewage and dumped garbage, is the source of pollution in the lower city, which has been put up with for too long, and now it is time to take care of it.

Gu Shun first hoped that in the name of the city-state, Shangcheng would contact Shangcheng through diplomatic means to negotiate a solution to the problem of pollution discharge.

It's a pity that all the news has been lost, and the border inspection side is arrogant and arrogant and does not allow the diplomatic mission in the lower city to pass.

Since the negotiation failed, Gu Shun was not ready to continue to consume.

Gu Shun directly built several large-scale thermal power plants in Xiacheng, which is close to the border inspection, and used the principle of anti-heat island effect to form a high-pressure wind field in the surrounding sky by burning the large amount of heat generated by power generation, so as to prevent smoke from flowing through the air pressure difference formed by the terrain to the lower city.

When a larger heat source is formed, a large updraft creates an area of low pressure near the thermal power plant away from the lower city area, so that the wind blowing from the lower town direction will cancel out some of the fog in the upper city.

The high pressure area in the air will break the pressure difference caused by the altitude and the topography, and block the pressure trough where the fog spreads towards the lower city.

Gu Shun also built a number of small wind turbines on the surrounding mountains, and through the precise calculation of the arrangement, the air pressure difference caused by the low terrain to the lower city was solved, and the wind field was used to block most of the smoke and return them to the upper city.

The pipes that discharge sewage in Shangcheng are much easier to deal with, directly blocking and welding all the sewage pipes, and sealing the contaminated groundwater, land and garbage.

The waste pickers who used to make money by salvaging the scraps of metal from polluted wastewater have all been relocated, and the city no longer needs to rely on picking up other people's garbage to survive.

The triple barrier set up by Gu Shun between the upper and lower cities, the thermal power plant, the wind power plant and the wind field effect, quickly achieved results.

The fog over the lower city was getting lighter and the sun was getting stronger.

The white horse passes through the gap, and the sun turns and the moon moves.

The new city-state of Downtown celebrates its first anniversary.

In one year, the Lower City has been completely reborn and ushered in a new life.

Originally, around the Lower Town Council Square, skyscrapers rose from the ground, and from above, the surrounding area of the Lower City was overlooked, with straight and wide streets, more and more cars, lush street trees, and advertising screens......

It's hard to imagine how it was a year ago.

These merchants who witnessed the development of Xiacheng were also infinitely optimistic about the future of Xiacheng, and they went from despising Xiacheng in the past to even envy the residents of Xiacheng today.

Xiacheng was able to achieve today's achievements only because Xiacheng had an incomparably great city lord, Gu Shun.

Under the cheers and applause of countless people, Gu Shun, Qiao Hongyu and other Xiacheng officials attended the celebration of the first anniversary of the establishment of Xiacheng.

"The lord of the city is here, the lord of the city is here."

"See the Lord of the Castle"

"Good Castle Lord"

"Long live the lord of the castle"

All the people of the lower city had blazing eyes and cheered heartily.

On the viewing platform, the grandmother, who was already dying, was also helped to stand up.

Although everyone advised Grandma to rest at home, Grandma insisted on coming to see it anyway.

She finally saw firsthand what her grandson had achieved.

Looking at the countless crowds cheering for him below, grandma's tears burst out of her eyes, and old tears were all over the place.

"Okay, okay, my Shunshun, grandma will always be proud of you."

Gu Shun stood on the viewing platform of the City Lord's Mansion, waved his hand, and then began to publish his report on his year in power.

After each recitation, the crowd in the square would hear a long cheer.

In the end, Gu Shun appealed:

"All the residents of the Lower City, and all the people who have contributed to the Lower Town, the development of the Lower City comes from you, the honor belongs to you, and the results are for you.

I hope that in the future, every citizen can work together, have a heart to make a force, and have a light and a heat.

Tell the world that the lower city is no longer the poor and lowly fog capital. ”

The passive talent of unbelievable belief spread to every corner of the lower city unconsciously, and everyone in the lower city was encouraged by Gu Shun's words.

The hearts of the people are united, Mount Tai moves, and the future of the lower city has just begun.

As Gu Shun finished speaking, the last trace of mist in the lower city was blown away by the wind, and the sunlight finally spread in every corner of the lower city without hindrance.

Looking at the incomparably dazzling sun and the clear blue sky, the people of Xiacheng, who were accustomed to being shrouded in fog, could no longer suppress the tears in the corners of their eyes and cried loudly.

They had waited too long for this day.
