"Pudong New District?" Lu Yan pondered for a moment and couldn't help but praise: "A good name. The district is in all directions and corners. The 'new district' is in all directions and corners, all directions and reforms', both catchy and timeless, and it is really appreciated by both the elite and the masses, and it is catchy!"

"Haha, it's too good." Mr. Zhao couldn't help laughing. He liked scholars. He could even flatter him so easily, with different styles and unconventionality. He could be called a rainbow fart.

In fact, Zhao Hao originally planned to name it Pudong City with Xingang as an example. But on the one hand, he felt that the name of Pudong City in Shanghai was too Japanese, which was awkward. Secondly, the word "shi" was too small in the eyes of people at that time. It sounded like a market, which did not conform to Mr. Zhao's positioning of Pudong.

So I used this name four hundred years later in advance.

"But why, there is no city wall?" Lu Yan was not ignited by the word "world economic center". After all, whether it is "world" or "economy", he did not understand the meaning, so naturally he could not understand the weight of these six words. Instead, he was struggling with the problem of the city wall.

"Since it's called a new district, of course I have to look new." Zhao Hao smiled and returned to the point of saying: "Besides, Shanghai County did not have city walls at first?"

"That's because the county was established too late and had never suffered military disasters before. Later, the Japanese riots broke out. In just over four to six months of the 32nd year of Jiajing, they were attacked by Japanese attacks five times. Japanese pirates burned, killed, plundered, burned houses, and several generals of the county and city were half scorched earth, causing extremely heavy losses." Lu Yan advised seriously:

"It was only then that people learned from their mistakes and the people paid and worked hard to build the current city wall. Not only did my mother, Mrs. Mei, donated land and silver, but there was not enough materials to build the city, so I even demolished thousands of rooms in my Lu family's ancestral house to build the city."

"Okay, the Lu family is really amazing." Zhao Hao smacked his lips, thinking that these big dog families were all Versailles writers.

"I will say these things below are not to show off, but to remind the young master of the necessity of the city wall." Lu Yan said earnestly.

"Yeah, I know what you said." Zhao Hao nodded and said, "But the city wall will limit the expansion of the city. When the city grows to the edge of the city wall, the high city wall blocks traffic, and the original development order will inevitably be blocked. If you want to continue to develop, you must jump out of the city wall and rebuild the center outside the city."

"Is Suzhou?" Lu Yan realized something.

"Yes, Suzhou is the best example. Where is its most prosperous place? Outside Changmen and Loumen, only by jumping out of the city wall to form a closed space can the city develop freely." Zhao Hao smiled and said, "Since that's the case, why should we do this more?"

"But Suzhou has a city wall? Even if it develops outside the city, I feel more at ease." Lu Yan said.

"Shanghai County also has a city wall." Zhao Hao smiled and pointed to the blue-gray city wall across the river.

"Uh, that's true." Let him say this? Lu Yan was speechless.

Actually, there is one thing that Zhao Hao didn't say, he spent so much effort to build a ship? If he could not resist the enemy at sea, wouldn't he be troubled?

Lying down and waiting to die!

"The new area is not only reflected in the city wall, but also in terms of the city planning? It is innovative and unique." Zhao Hao walked on the embankment with Lu Yan while giving advice to Jiangshan Road.

"What is urban planning?" Lu Yan asked quickly.

"It is to make a blueprint for the development of the city." Zhao Hao pointed to the large area of ​​land in Lujiazui and said, "This is a white painting paper. As a painter, you should plan the layout before painting, right?"

"I understand." Lu Yan felt excited? There is nothing more fun in the world than this? It feels more fulfilling. After saying that, he was a little worried: "But I am afraid that I have never built a city? I am not competent."

"No one has any experience in this area, we have to explore everything ourselves." The wind blows on Zhao Hao's belt, showing his spirit of enthusiasm. "As for why it is you? First, you are the general manager of the founding company, and you don't have to work for two people. Second, you have supervised the construction of the Back Paradise and are not an outsider in civil engineering construction."

After a pause, he looked at Lu Yan deeply and said, "Third, it is also the most important point. This Lujiazui is named after your ancestor's surname. I believe you will be more responsible than anyone else."

"Yes." Lu Yan was excited and said with a heavy emphasis: "There is no choice but to let his ancestors be shamed!"

"Okay, very good. With this attitude, you will be half successful." Zhao Hao laughed and said, "The rest is nothing more than listening and watching, spending more time, focusing on your thoughts, and exploring slowly."

"I understand." Lu Yan nodded again, suppressed his fierce heartbeat, and smiled, "Then you must point a direction first so that we can have a way to follow."

"Then I'll just talk, listen dialectically." Zhao Hao smiled falsely. Pudong New District, of course, has to be built according to his wishes.

The reason why I said that to Lu Yan was just a cliché to stimulate the subjective initiative of the people below. If Lu Yan took it seriously, he would lose.

Fortunately, Lu Yanren is a mature person, how could he have such a childish disease? He hurriedly took out a Huazi... a Chinese brand pencil and a cowhide cover notebook issued by the group, and carefully recorded every word from the young master, as the highest spirit of future design.

"First of all, we must clarify the positioning of the city." Zhao Hao said happily: "The group has decided to move the starting point of the Royal Sea Transportation here. In the future, this will be the starting point of the grain shipping, and the grain from Huguang and Jiangnan will be continuously transported here, and a new rice market will soon be formed outside the four rice markets."

"And you also understand that grain only accounts for a small part of the transportation capacity of the Coast Guard team members. Its real main business is north-south freight and overseas trade. So this place will become a trade window for the entire Jiangnan. In a short period of time, department stores will gather, becoming a commercial center that is no less than Suzhou, and even surpasses Suzhou in the future."

"Yes." After so much evidence, Lu Yan naturally believed in Zhao Hao's judgment and suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier.

"In addition, there are 1.2 million mu of land in Pudong. The group also negotiated with Benlin's Jinshanwei to include their 600,000 mu of land in the farm's business scope, so there are a total of 1.8 million mu of land available for development." Zhao Hao said again.

"One.8 million acres, two Shanghai counties." Lu Yan said in a low voice.

"Most of these one and eight million mu will be used to grow cotton and mulberry plants." Zhao Hao continued: "So we still have the conditions to turn Pudong into a textile industry center."

"Then the population is really going to be too much." Lu Yan couldn't help but smile and said, "Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty is not short of people."

"That's right, we have a population of 200 million." Zhao Hao nodded with a smile. Jiangnan is densely populated and attracts refugees across the country like a magnet. There is only an overpopulation and no shortage. This is where he is confident in making great achievements.

If you change a country with a population of several million, and you will rashly open a new map, where can you find someone to fill it out?

This is also the reason why it is difficult for European powers to territorize their colonies. When the Ming Dynasty began to colonize, Mr. Zhao wanted to let them see what cruelty is.

~~

In fact, Mr. Zhao also planned to build Pudong into the financial center of the future Ming Dynasty... After becoming a commercial and textile industry center, this was almost certain. However, given the obstacles of people's understanding at that time, I stopped talking.

"So we can plan different functional areas according to the future development direction." Zhao Hao bent his finger and said, "It can be roughly divided into river port area, Lujiazui commercial area, residential area, industrial area and agricultural area. The industrial area should be located in the suburbs, away from commercial area, and between residential area and agricultural area. This can reduce the cost of the workshop and protect the land price of the commercial area. But how to divide it specifically, you must adapt to local conditions and how to get it."

"I understand." Lu Yan quickly made the record, and when Mr. Zhao said this, he felt much more transparent.

"After defining the functional area, the road is designed. The road to the city is like blood vessels to people... I don't know what blood vessels are? You should treat it as meridians. The roads in the city should also be divided into five types: main roads, secondary roads, tree-lined avenues, inner streets and suburban roads, and are built according to different widths and forms. This is not difficult to understand, but the standards should be as high as possible, so as to be advanced for the future. For example, the main road, I think it can be set to be ten feet wide, so don't think it's wasteful. Demolition and widening in the future will be very harmful to the vitality."

Zhao Hao then said: "All roads must be built into cement roads, but before building roads and houses, we must make great efforts to build underground pipelines."

"Underground Pipe Network?" Lu Yan couldn't understand it again.

"It's the sewer, which has a similar function to a sewer, but it's buried underground, not just in an open ditch or covered with stone slabs." Zhao Hao reminded him: "In fact, this is not a new thing. Someone in the Song Dynasty made it. As far as I know, in Ganzhou City, Jiangxi, there is a complete sewer, which is nearly two meters high and more than one meter wide, and can walk inside. Five hundred years have passed and it is still running well. Moreover, the terrain of Ganzhou City and Pudong is very close to the terrain, and it is also built on the edge of the river. It should be of great reference value. You should go to the site to take a closer look and then hire some craftsmen who repair sewers from the local area to come here. It will definitely be very helpful."

"I understand, I'll go back and arrange it." Lu Yan responded vigorously.

"Okay, very energetic. We are not just copying Ganzhou, but we also have to surpass them. Otherwise, how can we call it a new district?" Zhao Hao smiled and challenged:

"I hope our sewer can divert rain and sewage. It is to build two sets of sewage pipe networks, one to discharge rainwater directly into the river, and the other to send the sewage to the suburbs' treatment plants for sedimentation and composting." Mr. Zhao said with a smile:

"And water supply pipes must be installed in the pipeline network. In the future, we will let every household use clean tap water." Zhao Hao smiled and said, "We must also let rich people who are unwilling to go to the public toilet use flush toilets at home!"

"Tape water, toilet?" Listening to these new words, Lu Yan felt like a dream. Just listening to Mr. Zhao, he had the urge to live in such a city.
