At present, the imperial court is still controlled by traditional civil servants. They naturally have a way of building and maintaining the operation of the country, but they have historical limitations after all.
I'm afraid it won't be possible to change my thinking in just a few years.
The national treasury has sufficient resources, and the planning of the five administrative regions has been completed. The next step is to start construction.
“Build the central administrative area first.”
Luo Yu stretched out his hand to open the building page, and then realized that his dominant right hand was tightly held by Long Er and could not move away.
Turning around to look, Ling'er, Long'er, and Shuang'er were all fast asleep. The girls on the big bed were breathing evenly, and Luo Yu was the only one with his eyes open.
"Not bad, go to bed early and get up early, your skin will be better."
He smiled slightly, carefully took out his right hand, and stuffed Yuanyuan's little foot on the other side into Long Er's arms.
At least, let Long Er have something to hug, so that he can have a good dream.
After calming down, Luo Yu began to operate.
From the map, the central administrative area is a huge circle and very uniform, which makes it much easier to plan.
The center of the circle is Uzhi City, surrounded by a circle of cities, then a larger circle is the economic crop belt, then a larger circle is the green plant belt, and the outermost circle is the outer city circle.
In this way, four large circles can be formed with Uzhicheng as the center and radiating out, and everything you need will be available.
However, when planning a city, we should not only look at the economic and cultural effects, but also look at the natural environment.
The most important thing in the environment is water, and Luo Yu has already made a plan in his mind.
[Tip: You are demolishing the stone mountains in the Miasma Mountains. The unit price for each stone mountain is 600 Tiandao coins, and the total cost is 600,000 Tiandao coins. Are you sure? 】
"This money is for the country's economic construction, or it should come from the national treasury."
Click OK, the treasury is reduced by 600,000, and all the stone mountains are demolished, and the Miasma Mountains area turned into a flat stone land.
[You demolish the stone mountain and get a total of 60 million stone bricks]
"There are so many stone mountains to get just this few stone bricks? Even if I use dynamite to blow up the mountains, this is more than that."
"It's clear that the quality of Tiandao is really low."
Luo Yu expressed his dissatisfaction in his heart.
Naturally, it was impossible to build on the bare stone land. Luo Yu operated the terrain transformation interface and prepared to transform a large river first.
The river must be big, long, and run through the entire territory.
This is not used for water transportation, but for drinking by the people in the urban area.
Therefore, it is necessary to have absolute control over water sources.
The source of all the rivers in the Goring Plain comes from the Fairy Forest. After all, it is close to the northern continent and the source is unsafe. Luo Yu decided to create his own water source.
[Quanyan Mountain: There is a spring inside, which can become the birthplace of a river]
[Basic price: 1 million Tiandao coins, for each new spring, an additional 500,000 Tiandao coins will be paid]
After careful study, the water emerging from a spring can basically only form a stream.
To form a big river, at least 20 springs are needed.
"Twenty springs, only a thousand to ten thousand."
"It's a small amount, just let the treasury pay it."
Luo Yu decided to place the Mountain of Water Source in the easternmost part of the Trialist Plains.
After clicking OK, a light flashed on the plain, and a 200-meter-high blue mountain appeared. The surrounding water element was rich, and it was a very beautiful mountain peak.
There are twenty light spots on the top of the mountain that shine slightly, which are the springs.
The spring is currently closed and can be opened manually after the river is constructed.
[Warning: Your treasury funds are less than 1 million]
"Eh? Are you going to go bankrupt now?"
"It's okay. Let Xiao Jin lend you a loan tomorrow. The bank is the strongest backing of the imperial court."
Luo Yu didn't take it seriously and started to build the river.
With Quanyan Mountain as its origin, the river traversing the entire territory from north to south requires 5,000 kilometers.
But the river cannot be straight, it must be as winding as possible to nourish more people along the coast.
Luo Yu drew a river planning line on the map, with nine twists and turns, totaling 13,000 kilometers.
[Tip: If you create a new river through the terrain transformation function, it will cost 10 Tiandao coins per meter. The basic depth of the river is 2 meters. If you need to deepen it, please dig it yourself]
"Huh? You can't buy depth with money?"
"There is no other way. From now on the prisoners will have to do it. Let's dig the river after get off work."
Luo Yu made the decision easily and happily, solving a problem that couldn't be solved with money.
Click OK to build the river channel.
[To build a river, you need a total of 130 million Tiandao coins]
"One hundred and thirty million?"
"Huh, how can we let private people pay for the construction of the country? The court needs to set an example."
"Okay, I will borrow 130 million from the bank in the name of the imperial court."
Luo Yu shook the bank president sleeping on the other side awake and said softly: "Xiao Jin, tomorrow I will issue a 130 million loan contract to the court."
Xiao Jin rubbed his eyes and said in a daze: "Master, the court wants to borrow 1.3 billion, right? I..."
"Wait a minute, how much is it?"
Xiao Jin was stunned for a moment when he woke up, and then a smile appeared in his eyes.
"One hundred and thirty million, based on the minimum annual interest rate of 2 points for corporate loans, that's 2.6 million in interest per year."
"I understand, Master. Before the court meeting tomorrow, the loan contract will be sent to the Imperial Finance Department."
"Well, my bank president is becoming more and more capable."
Xiaojin was so smart and capable, and managed the bank in an orderly manner, which made Luo Yulongyan so happy that he couldn't help but kiss her.
"Go to sleep. If I need a loan later, I'll call you."
"Ouch!"
Xiao Jin nodded vigorously, lay down next to Luo Yu's legs again, hugged one of his master's thighs affectionately, and soon fell asleep.
"Banks serve the country and the people, so let's go back and pay bonuses to our employees."
Luo Yu was secretly happy that he had solved the financial problem of the treasury in one go.
He clicked OK on the terraforming page.
For a moment, with Quanyan Mountain as the center, a twisting light belt spread out, like two long dragons, extending towards the north and south of the territory.
At present, the overall layout of the territory is long from north to south and narrow from east to west, and there is no condition to dig east-west rivers.
However, in the future, an east-west river must be built, and it must be the main mother river.
There is a latitude difference between the north and the south, and the climate is somewhat different. In the long run, it will cause huge differences in human race and civilization.
There is no latitude difference between east and west, and the climate is stable, which is more suitable for the derivation and continuation of the same civilization.
This is also one of the reasons why the Eurasian continent has developed faster than the African continent for a long time.
As the person in power, Luo Yu must consider the overall situation, so his next expansion goal will not be to the north, but to the east and west.
Half an hour later, a huge river appeared across the north and south, with Lake Niga as its northern estuary and World Sea as its southern estuary.
