Those people understood that the prince and princess wanted to build a palace in a better place in the future. This place was just a city, so there was no rush.
Although Xiao Xian didn't mean it this way, they automatically changed it to this meaning and no one could do anything about it. When Xiao Xian saw that they agreed, he stopped taking care of it.
Soon, the workers drew the drawings of various places for Xiao Xian and Shen Mingzhu to review. "This is the inner city. There are east and west markets. The market has four gates. If it is time for the market to close, the gates can be locked."
"The streets in the inner city are divided into streets from east to west, and roads from north to south. Shops are built on both sides of Central Street, which leads directly to the east and west gates. People can buy or rent them. They are all in a layout of shops in the front and houses in the back, which is very convenient for business and living."
Hearing this, Shen Mingzhu said: "Since there are East and West Avenues, the North and South Avenues that cross in the middle should also be made like this."
She found that there were no commercial facilities along the North-South Expressway.
The engineer looked troubled, "All the other cities in the princess's city in the north and south do not have commercial streets. After all, there are already east and west markets and east and west streets, which are basically enough to meet the needs of the people."
In their understanding, roads are for people to walk, and people are in a hurry, while streets are for people to stroll slowly, so there are shops.
Moreover, the houses all face north and south, so it is not convenient for people to do business on the roadside.
He expressed his concerns, and Shen Mingzhu said: "There is a main road on East and West Street, which is a commercial street. This is enough. If there are other needs in the future, the people can handle it themselves according to the market situation and population. They only need to go to the Yamen
Approval is enough. There also needs to be a thoroughfare from north to south for commercial streets, and the sitting direction can be changed to face the road. There is no difficulty in adjusting the sitting direction according to the road."
The workers still had troubled expressions on their faces, Shen Mingzhu said: "You think no one is willing to live here now, but when a large number of people come in, the front and back of the Yamen Temple will be crowded with people, so what are you afraid of here?"
The workers feel a little reluctant now, because it goes against their lifelong design concepts, but when the city develops into the economic and commercial center of the north, the population increases sharply, and even when there are small shops in every neighborhood
, they finally understood the princess’s foresight.
Wherever there are people, there is commercial demand, even if it is barter.
Now Shen Mingzhu doesn't say much to them and just asks them to do as she asks.
She thought that since a city was built, it should be built solidly so that it could be passed down through the ages, instead of tearing it down and rebuilding it over a hundred and eighty years. There was no point in wasting redundant manpower and material resources.
As long as you use enough materials from the beginning, be careful and eliminate hidden dangers as much as possible, it is perfectly possible for a city to stand for a thousand years.
After everything has been determined, materials for building the city must be prepared, including various types of wood, stone, soil, grass, etc.
And they only need to be responsible for building city walls, palaces, government offices, and other civilian facilities. When there are more people, they can raise funds to build them.
As soon as the news got out, big businessmen and families immediately signed up, and even ordinary people signed up, willing to contribute money and effort to build the new city.
However, they are also worried about the land issue after the new city is built.
How the house was used and purchased, and how the fields outside the city were used and purchased.
