Chapter 482 Shanhai City Planning

After dealing with the Zhenhai City matter, Ouyang Shuo took a break for a while.

Reorganizing the army and rectifying Zhaoqing County, the two tasks were carried out simultaneously by both the military and the government. Even so, without a month's time, I'm afraid there will be no results.

Taking advantage of this rare free time, Ouyang Shuo prepared to set off to inspect Zhaoqing County.

Although Zhaoqing County has calmed down, the people's hearts are not stable. The Anmin announcement posted by the government could not appease the panic of the people.

The lord died in battle, and the troops in the territories either died in battle or surrendered. For the people of the territories, the past month has been full of wars, and it is really an unbearable period of time to look back on.

The entire Zhaoqing County was shrouded in panic.

The sky in Zhaoqing County was gray, full of death and despair.

According to the reaction of the Black Snake Guards, some cities have lost people.

In the wilderness, population is the greatest strategic resource.

Regarding the population loss in Zhaoqing County, Ouyang Shuo felt heartbroken and could not sit back and watch the situation continue to deteriorate. While instructing the Department of the Interior to strengthen control measures, he is preparing to go into battle himself.

At this moment, Ouyang Shuo naturally wanted to stand up and appease the people.

In addition to the guards, there was also the first brigade of the Imperial Guard Division. Even though Zhaoqing County was pacified, Ouyang Shuo still didn't dare to take risks alone.

Only with the accompanying brigade of imperial guards can you sit back and relax.

Of course, on the night before departure, Ouyang Shuo booked the largest restaurant in Wulong City and held a grand thank-you banquet. He entertained representatives of the gentry, businessmen and prestigious elders in the city, and thanked them for their support to the army of Shanhai City. support.

This thank-you banquet was promised by Ouyang Shuo when he first entered Wulong County. Therefore, before his tour, it is natural to cash in.

I would like to take this opportunity to see off Song Wen and the others.

Tomorrow, Song Wen will also take up his post in Zhenhai City. Similarly, the members of the Song family will also be sent to Shanhai City, and Song Jia will be in charge of receiving them, preparing to settle down in Shanhai City.

Ouyang Shuo has instructed Shan Hai Ling Zang Wenzhong to allocate a piece of land for the Song family in Xicheng District.

Not long ago, after the basic framework of the construction of Shanhai City and the roads in the city were completed, under the auspices of the Construction Department, a re-planning of the urban area of ​​Shanhai City was carried out.

Previously, Shanhai City was divided into five major urban areas: Wangcheng, Inner City, Yushui City, Friendship City, and Outer City.

Especially the outer city, which occupies two-thirds of the entire city, and its tentacles extend to every corner of the city, so it cannot be called the outer city at all.

With the increasing prosperity of Shanhai City, there is an endless stream of businessmen and scholars who come to play, and the status of Shanhai City in China is becoming more and more important. This is why it is imperative to plan the urban area reasonably. Otherwise, it will make outsiders laugh at it.

In the end, Shanhai City adopted the most classic Jiugongge urban division method, dividing the entire city into nine urban areas, which are neat and pleasing to the eye.

The nine major urban areas are located at the junction of the Friendship River and the Yushui River, the central urban area in the center of the entire city, the four major urban areas of the East, South, West, and North, and the Northwest, Northeast, Southwest, and Southeast urban areas.

After planning, the original Friendship City is actually the current Beicheng District; the original Inner City is the current Southwest District; the original Swimming City is the Southeast District.

In addition, the original royal city and the inner city were merged into one, collectively called the royal city. After the merger, the residential and commercial areas of the original inner city will be relocated to Xicheng District directly above Wangcheng.

With the expansion of the territory, the area of ​​the initial royal city was too small to match the status of the Southern Border Protectorate. It is imperative to expand the royal city.

In addition to the planning of the urban areas, there is also a detailed division of the functions of each urban area.

Midtown, the place where waterways meet and the throat of traffic, is defined as the dock area. The Dongcheng District and Xicheng District on both sides are defined as commercial areas, connected to the wharf through waterways.

The Nancheng District below is defined as a scientific research area, where military workshops and scientific research bases are located.

The former Friendship District, which is now Beicheng District; the former Yushui District, which is now Southeast District, the two old-fashioned districts are defined as residential areas together.

The final northwest and northeast urban areas are defined as military zones. The two divisions of the City Guard Division will each be stationed in a city area to defend Shanhai City.

That's why Ouyang Shuo settled the Song family in Xicheng District.

Song Wen went to work, and the Shenwuwei stationed in Zhenhai City, but he couldn't return for the time being. They had to wait until the garrison division prepared for Zhenhai City had been reorganized and equipped, and they could not come back until they went to hand over the troops.

Therefore, Shenwuwei will stay in Zhenhai City for a while.

On the contrary, the first formation of the North Gulf Fleet has already started to return under the instruction of Ouyang Shuo.

Beihai City is guarding the gateway of Lianzhou County, and there is absolutely no room for loss. The North Gulf Fleet can't leave for a long time. In case some unthinkable pirates attack one day, it will be a lot of fun.

As for the first formation of the Yashan Fleet, it is temporarily stationed at Jiaozhou Port.

Cai Mao will guide the firework monsters and carry out the preparatory work for the establishment of the Jiaozhou Fleet, including the selection of soldiers, the transformation of Jiaozhou Port, and so on.

The shipyard has received news that it will arrange for a batch of warships to be sent to Jiaozhou Port.

The Yashan Fleet led by Cai Mao will not leave until the first formation of the Jiaozhou Fleet is completed. Zhenhai City still has to rely on them to protect it.

Besides the members of the Song family, Xiao He also wanted to return to Shanhai City.

Xiao He didn't dare to delay Ouyang Shuo's assignment to him. Xiao He has handed over the affairs of Zhaoqing County to the four directors. He is going back to Shanhai City to draw up a plan for the reorganization of the Department of Science, Education, Culture and Health.

After drafting, it has to be reported to Ouyang Shuo for approval.

***********

In the early morning of the next day, Ouyang Shuo quietly led his troops to set off without nagging anyone. His itinerary and inspection route are highly confidential, except for Shanhaiwei and Black Snake Guard, no one knows.

Ouyang Shuo patrolled the entire Zhaoqing County at the speed of one city per day. Everywhere he went, he had to meet the gentry and the people, not only to declare his sovereignty, but also to appease the hearts of the people.

In addition, it is to inspect the local officials.

After long-term experience, Ouyang Shuo's eyesight is already quite extraordinary. When you meet a person, especially an official, you can often get a general idea by talking a few words.

Ouyang Shuo would also meet alone with some local officials who are popular among the people.

Every day, Ouyang Shuo would write a letter about the investigation and send it to Fan Zhongyan for his reference. Undoubtedly, officials favored by Ouyang Shuo can basically be reused.

Even so, Ouyang Shuo did not make arbitrary decisions, but left the final decision to the Administration Department. It's just the people that Ouyang Shuo specifically mentioned, the Administration Department will be extra careful when inspecting them.

Establishing the authority of the Administrative Office in inspecting officials, Ouyang Shuo is doing it by himself.

The title of Marquis of Lianzhou and Protector of Southern Xinjiang is still a huge deterrent to the common people.

Everywhere Ouyang Shuo went, the people would spontaneously line the streets to welcome him, the gentry rushed to make friends, and businessmen with a keen sense of smell rushed forward like mice smelling honey.

Ouyang Shuo handled all kinds of monsters, ghosts and gods with ease. He not only maintained the majesty of the lord, but also properly intersected and explained the governance philosophy of the territory.

During the conversation, Ouyang Shuo also inadvertently disclosed the upcoming reforms in education, medical care and other fields, and waited for Xiao He's reforms to be released in advance.

In this way, people have a concept in their minds, and the resistance to future changes will be much smaller.

In addition, Ouyang Shuo also wanted to use this to inspire people's sincere support for the Southern Border Protectorate. Let them see clearly that their future life will be better than under the lord's rule.

The common people are all about benefits, and they will support whoever treats them well.

I heard that in the future, their children will be able to go to school for free; if they are sick, the government will help them solve it, and they will not have to worry about seeing a doctor in the future, etc., bursts of cheers erupted at the scene.

Therefore, Ouyang Shuo's inspection this time is more effective than any Anmin announcement.

In addition to appeasing the hearts of the people and inspecting the officials, Ouyang Shuo also set himself a task, which was to inspect the industries and resources in various places.

The officials of the Finance Department are not as sensitive to emerging industries and unknown resources as Ouyang Shuo.

For example, when passing through the Yingshan Mountains, Ouyang Shuo found a strange stone, which the locals called "Yingshi".

Yingshi is formed by limestone after thousands of years of weathering and deposition. It is exquisitely carved and has scattered textures.

Such strange stones have not been taken seriously.

Ouyang Shuo wrote to Yingyou on the same day, asking her to arrange an industry department to mine "British Stone" on a large scale and open up the strange stone market. Whether it is used as a decoration or placed in the garden, Yingshi is a good existence.

Once, Ouyang Shuo passed a city and heard the local people mention that someone dug a strange crop outside the city, but he didn't know what it was.

When Ouyang Shuo heard the news, he immediately ordered someone to fetch the crop.

After taking it over, it turned out to be a kind of wild ginger.

Although it is said that ginger has long existed in ancient China, it is not widely eaten. It's no wonder that the local people don't know this kind of wild ginger at all.

Undoubtedly, Ouyang Shuo found a new specialty for the territory.

All these kinds, and so on.

For the development of the territory, Ouyang Shuo, the lord, was worried about it.

For Ouyang Shuo personally, this visit was also an opportunity to increase his knowledge.

As the saying goes, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books.

Along the way, we crossed mountains, waded across rivers, walked through woods, and slept in the wilderness.

In the wilderness, although it is not very popular, it has a special flavor.

The lonely smoke in the desert is straight, and the sun is setting in the long river.

This famous sentence describing the desert is also very appropriate to describe the wilderness.

Roughness and wildness are the truest portrayal of the wilderness.

As a result, Ouyang Shuo remembered his past life, the countless nights spent in the wilderness.

Thinking about it now, it is also very precious.
