Nowadays, the world is in chaos, but Sichuan and Shu are peaceful and have become the last pure land in the world.
Many wealthy people from other places brought their families to Sichuan to escape the war.
When they arrived in Sichuan, they naturally had to find a place to stay. Their first target was Xihewan, but now Xihewan is very strict about settling in. Even if foreigners have money, they can't buy a house in Xihewan. They can only go elsewhere.
place.
As the largest city in Sichuan and Sichuan, Xichuan is also home to many factories, and the settlement policy is much looser than that of Xihewan. Many wealthy people from other places come here, spend money to buy houses, and settle in Xichuan.
Mother and daughter Zhu Linglong hoarded a large number of houses when housing and land prices in Xichuan were still cheap.
However, they did not sell the house or homestead directly. Instead, they tore down the former thatched house, rebuilt it into a courtyard house, and then sold it to outsiders.
These courtyard houses were all built based on Jin Feng’s original courtyard house. They look simple and full of atmosphere, and the space utilization is also very good. They are very popular with outsiders, and they are willing to pay for it.
The mother and daughter relied on this method to sell only one-fifth of the house in their hands and already made a lot of money.
Qing Xinyao was impressed by the business skills of the mother and daughter at the time. Later, when he met Zhu Chen and talked about the matter, he found out that it was Jin Feng who planned the matter behind his back, and Qing Xinyao was relieved.
If this was done by an outsider, it would be a big deal, enough to brag about for a lifetime.
But for Jin Feng, who had created many miracles, it was insignificant.
However, through this incident, Qing Xinyao also saw Jin Feng's methods of managing the city.
Having been a shepherd for so many years, Qing Xinyao is very aware of the role of population.
Whether it is conscription, tax collection, or economic development, only with population can society have the potential to develop.
Without population, everything is empty talk.
Nowadays, countless refugees are pouring into Xichuan, which is a good thing for the development of Xichuan. Unfortunately, the number of people that can be accommodated in Xichuan City is limited. After many people came, they found that they had nowhere to stay and then left.
This made Qing Xinyao very heartbroken but he had no good solution.
Just now Jin Feng said that he wanted to discuss Xichuan's future development plan, and Qing Xinyao immediately gathered his energy to listen.
When Zhou Youda came in, he happened to hear Jin Feng saying to Qing Xinyao: "Xichuan is an old city in Sichuan. It is very important in terms of geographical location and economic, cultural and political status. In the future, more and more people will want to come to Xichuan for development.
, the current Xichuan City is still too small and must be expanded outwards, otherwise the development of Xichuan will be severely restricted."
In Xichuan in the previous life, there were high-rise buildings everywhere, and residential buildings with twenty or thirty floors were everywhere.
Nowadays, the houses in Xichuan are mainly made of bricks and tiles and thatched houses. There are occasional buildings, which are only two-story wooden buildings, and three-story buildings are rare.
In the previous life, a thirty-story building could accommodate at least several hundred people. If placed in Xichuan today, the land required to accommodate hundreds of people would be at least ten times more than in the previous life.
Many people live in a family of four or five in one or two rooms, with the per capita living area not even reaching five square meters.
Jin Feng currently has no way to build high-rise buildings on a large scale. If he wants to develop Xichuan, the best way is to expand the city.
"Sir, I understand what you are saying, but if you want to expand the city, you need to rebuild the city wall and dig the moat again. None of these are small projects. Now, sir, building water conservancy requires manpower and financial resources. How about we wait a little longer?"
Qing Xinyao looked confused.
"Who said that to expand a city, we must rebuild the city walls and moats?"
Jin Feng asked: "What kind of moats and walls do you think can stop airships and hot air balloons?"
In the feudal era, the size of the city was determined by the moat and the city wall, because in the event of a war, the moat and the city wall were the two most effective barriers to stop the enemy.
But for Jin Feng, the moat and city walls are just decorations and have no meaning at all.
Not to mention that guns will appear in the future, but now, with the cooperation of airships and hot air balloons, you can cross all city walls at will.
Qing Xinyao finally came to his senses after being asked this question by Jin Feng.
Yes, times have changed.
Moats and walls are no longer factors limiting the development of cities.
At least it's not the main factor anymore.
"Sir, what you said makes sense, but Xin Yao is stupid."
Qing Xinyao knew Jin Feng's character, so he asked directly: "Sir, I must have a plan. Could you please elaborate on how to plan?"
"This is what I think," Jin Feng pointed to the map and said: "Use the existing city wall as the boundary and build a new city around the city wall. The inner city inside the city wall will be the inner city, and the new city outside the city wall will be the outer city.
Once a war breaks out, or there is an incident such as falconry, and the enemy attacks, the people in the outer city can enter the inner city to escape!"
"That's great!" Qing Xinyao nodded repeatedly.
Although he understood Jin Feng's plan, the city wall and moat had been the barrier of the city since ancient times, and the people had long been accustomed to it. Only when living in the city would they feel at ease and safe.
Just now he was worried that even if a new city was built outside the city wall, the people would not accept it, but before he could express his worries, Jin Feng had already given a solution.
As long as the people are promised that they can enter the inner city to take refuge in the event of war, they will surely be willing to accept it.
"Sir, will the government be responsible for building the new city?" Qing Xinyao asked.
Building a new city will cost immeasurable money, Qing Xinyao needs to ask clearly.
If it needs the government to complete it, he needs to find a way to get the money as soon as possible.
"The city was not built in a day. We don't need to build a large scale for this. We just need to guide the people so that the approval documents for building houses don't get stuck so much."
Jin Feng said: "But infrastructure facilities such as sewers, bridges and roads need to be completed by the government."
On the way here, he asked someone in advance. In fact, many outsiders now want to settle in Xichuan, but it is now difficult to find a house in Xichuan, and the land for building houses in the city is almost exhausted. Many people are forced to have no choice but to live in Xichuan.
Could go to other places.
If Qing Xinyao opens up the door for building houses, even if they are just outside the city, there should be many people coming here.
When the time comes, the people will build the new city by themselves, without any need for government intervention.
"I understand. When I get back later, I will arrange for the next person to handle this matter."
Qing Xinyao nodded.
Later, Jin Feng discussed some other details about the plan with Qing Xinyao, and then Qing Xinyao took the people away.
After Qing Xinyao left, Zhou Youda came from the side, saluted Jin Feng, and shouted toward the door: "Weiwei, please bring Xuan'er over!"
