Hearing Zhu Houzhao's voice, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but laugh.
Zhu Houzhao has grown up and is now able to stand alone. He manages Shuntian Mansion in an orderly and decent manner. In a very short period of time, the order, transportation and sanitation of the capital have been improved to a higher level.
When commuting every day, people from the urban management bureau direct traffic in congested areas. They also renovate and manage the small stalls and vendors that used to be everywhere. Although the capital lacks some fireworks, it has become cleaner. , neatly and uniformly delineate areas for vendors to operate, and stipulate relevant hygiene and so on.
Although these have made the vendors less chic than before and have received a lot of complaints, the effect is still very significant for the entire capital, and the originally congested old city has become much smoother.
In the current urban construction planning of Dongcheng District, Zhu Houzhao also knows that he pays more attention to protecting the interests of ordinary people. Building roads requires occupying a lot of land. For ordinary people, if the land is occupied, they may really have no land. However, For the powerful people in the capital, a little land is nothing. Naturally, they want to occupy as much land as possible from these powerful people.
At this point, if someone else were to do it, they would definitely not dare to do it like this.
Who dares to offend the powerful people in the capital?
He is the only one who is not afraid of anything.
Emperor Hongzhi walked in with Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Liu Jin and others, and immediately saw a huge sand table. This sand table was clearly the distribution map of Dongcheng District, with the land on the capital side clearly marked on it. The construction status and the ownership of these lands are also clearly marked in detail.
"Father, why are you here?"
Zhu Houzhao, who was listening to Du Li, Yang Chun, and Ouyang Zhong explaining the planning of Dongcheng District, looked at Emperor Hongzhi and others and said with a smile.
"Father?"
When Du Li, Yang Chun, and Ouyang Zhong heard this, they immediately knew that the emperor was coming, and they quickly saluted.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
"Everyone is free of charge."
"What are you doing?"
Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to be polite, and then looked at the huge sand table in front of him.
"Father, my son and I are discussing the planning of Dongcheng District with them. This Dongcheng District is really in a mess. There is no plan at all. It's a mess."
Zhu Houzhao also hurriedly replied, he was wearing a third-grade official uniform, which made Emperor Hongzhi want to laugh when he looked at it, but he looked quite presentable.
"Oh, yes, everyone happens to be here too."
"I heard that the three people you recruited are graduates of the School of Architectural Engineering. They must be outstanding in urban planning."
Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly and then said.
"Of course, they are all professional talents. They made this sand table in less than a month. It is absolutely professional."
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately nodded. To be honest, he admired the professionalism of Du Li, Yang Chun, and Ouyang Zhong. It was absolutely right to leave some things to professionals.
Originally, he had no idea about the plan for Dongcheng District, but after the three of them explained it in detail, he had a rough idea.
"Yang Chun, come and tell us about the planning of Dongcheng District."
Zhu Houzhao looked at the three of them and then said.
"yes!"
When Yang Chun heard this, he was slightly excited. The emperor in front of him and the people around him must also be important officials in the court. It is a rare opportunity to have the opportunity to explain in detail in front of them.
"Due to the lack of planning and management in Dongcheng District from the beginning, the situation in Dongcheng District is very dirty and messy."
"This is mainly reflected in three aspects, one is transportation, one is health, and the other is random housing construction."
"In terms of transportation, of all the roads in Dongcheng District, only a few are currently cement-hardened, and the roads are very narrow. Only a few can reach the level of two-way two-lanes. Most of the roads are narrow and have dirt roads, and they are also very narrow.
It is winding and unplanned, which greatly affects the traffic in Dongcheng District. It is the place with the worst traffic conditions and the most congestion in the entire Beijing area."
"In terms of sanitation, there is no underground sewage system in Dongcheng District, so sewage is poured indiscriminately, the smell is high, and it accumulates in gullies, ditches, roads and other places, making Dongcheng District very dirty."
Valley
"In terms of haphazard building of houses, because land in the capital is expensive and every inch of land is valuable, as long as there is land, they will find ways to build houses here for rent. However, due to the lack of unified planning and management, the construction of houses is uneven and insignificant.
The lack of order has seriously affected the city appearance of Dongcheng District, and it has also brought safety hazards to Dongcheng District, especially in shantytowns. Once water leaks and fire spreads, the harm will be great."
Yang Chun sorted out his words slightly and began to introduce the situation in Dongcheng District in detail.
Hearing Yang Chun's words, everyone nodded slightly. On the way here, they had already felt how dirty Dongcheng District was. The roads were bumpy, congested, stinky, and sewage and dirty water could be seen everywhere, making people doubt that this was still the case.
It’s not the capital anymore.
Now that I have heard Yang Chun's words, I have a clearer understanding of the situation in Dongcheng District.
"In terms of planning and construction of Dongcheng District, we decided to follow the principle of giving priority to transportation and health, divide functions and areas, and decided to give priority to the construction of Dongcheng District's transportation, sewage, and water supply systems."
"In terms of transportation, we are preparing to build a two-ring main trunk line around the capital in Dongcheng District. The trunk line will connect to the main trunk roads in Nancheng District and connect Dongcheng District and Nancheng District."
"Relying on the main trunk lines, we will build secondary roads. While building the roads, we will also lay down a sewage system to solve the drainage and sewage problem in Dongcheng District."
"In terms of area division, industrial areas, living areas and commercial areas are demarcated. The industrial area only allows the existence of factories and workshops, and does not allow the construction of residential areas. The living area only allows the construction of residential buildings and related supporting facilities, and no
The existence of factories and workshops implements separation.”
"At the same time, we will build a tap water supply system and network in Dongcheng District in the same direction to ensure Dongcheng District's domestic and industrial water supply and facilitate life and production."
Yang Chun faced the sand table and introduced the three of them's plan for Dongcheng District in detail.
Everyone listened carefully, nodding their heads while listening. It was indeed different for such professional people to do professional things. Just the planning of Dongcheng District made everyone suddenly enlightened.
If you let yourself do this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it well.
First of all, we need to understand the situation in Dongcheng District in detail. After understanding the situation in Dongcheng District, we can make detailed planning and arrangements.
"Yes, yes, this Dongcheng District should be properly planned and planned."
Li Dongyang looked at the sand table and said while stroking his mustache.
"After such planning, Dongcheng District will have the flavor of Nancheng District. Nancheng District is neatly planned and orderly, making life and work very convenient. It is also the most expensive place in Beijing."
Liu Jian also nodded slightly and said.
"What happened when you just said that this road should be built as far as possible towards the powerful?"
Emperor Hongzhi also nodded slightly, and then remembered what he had just heard outside the door.
"Your Majesty, there is a big difference between Dongcheng District and Nancheng District. The most important point is that the land in Dongcheng District is very scattered. More than 70% of the land in Dongcheng District belongs to the powerful people in the capital.
The remaining 30% of the land belongs to ordinary people in the capital."
"When planning roads, His Highness means to protect the land of ordinary people as much as possible, because for ordinary people, this land may be all their land."
"Building roads requires taking up a lot of land. Your Highness asked us to build them on the land of the powerful as much as possible."
Yang Chun also replied again.
"Well, the prince is quite sensible."
Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly with satisfaction. This truth is actually easy to understand.
Ordinary people may only have a few acres of land. If you build a road to cross it, these acres of land may be gone. Wouldn't these people suffer heavy losses?
But for the rich and powerful, they don't care about this little land. Many people often own hundreds of acres, thousands of acres, or even tens of thousands of acres of land. Building roads is nothing for them.
It's a trivial matter.
"In fact, road construction is for everyone's benefit. Once the road is repaired and the planning is neat, the land on the roadside will become more valuable. This can be regarded as a kind of compensation."
Zhu Houzhao said with a smile on his face.
When Li Dongyang, Liu Jian, Zhong Zhong, Han Wen and other ministers next to him heard this, their faces suddenly darkened. Then they looked at the desert in Dongcheng District and silently thought about whether they had land in Dongcheng District and whether there would be roads.
After repairing it, if this area is occupied to build a road, it will be a heavy loss.
Just as everyone was listening in detail to the planning of Dongcheng District, bursts of curses came from outside the Chengjian Yamen, and someone could be heard cursing somewhere as they broke into the Chengjian Yamen.
"I really want to see that bastard who wants to build a road on our Zhang family's land. Don't think that our family can bully our family wantonly in Myanmar. Do you really think that our Zhang family is easy to bully?
You actually want to build a road on our Zhang family’s land, do you think we are easy to bully?”
“Let’s see if I don’t catch you seventh-grade petty officials today and give them a good beating!”
