The difference between Long Yan and Liu Zheng is that Liu Zheng does not need to maintain imperial power at all and uses imperial power to rule the people.
To put it bluntly.
Britain, as well as the Japanese country in the previous life, retained the emperor because of the needs of the ruling class. They needed the emperor's existence to help them stabilize domestic emotions.
But does Longyan need it?
Liu Zheng believes that there is not much demand.
Long Yan's reform was gradual.
Long Yan's rule is more about the concept of father and son. In other words, without a father, he is the father. Why does he need an imperial power?
There is no imperial power, but there are administrative organs of the country and parliament.
It can still run normally.
But Liu Zheng hadn't made a decision yet. When he got home, Xie Chan had already rushed over and smiled sweetly: "How is it? Have you decided yet?"
Liu Zheng glanced at Xie Chan, something was wrong. Xie Chan was a little too enthusiastic today.
Making tea again and rubbing shoulders again.
He chuckled: "What's wrong? Is someone here to get information from you, or is it someone who comes here to blow someone off?"
Xie Chan's thoughts were revealed and she glared at Liu Zheng: "What's wrong? I can't help a younger brother even if I beg for mercy?"
Liu Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "You have grown up in the Western Regions since you were a child. How come you have a good brother after not seeing each other for a while?"
Xie Chan rolled her eyes at him and said happily: "Then, who makes me popular? Oh, let me tell you something serious, this Youzhou..."
Liu Zheng said calmly: "No one will give it to me!"
Xie Chan was stunned: "What?"
Liu Zheng nodded: "Not only will Youzhou not be given to others, it will also become a pilot city."
"Pilot city?"
Xie Chan looked confused.
My husband's idea is indeed a bit too much.
urban reform.
This is actually what Liu Zheng has always wanted to do. This is definitely a big deal for Long Yan. The feudal rule of the Longyan Dynasty for thousands of years has made the entire city planning of Longyan too unreasonable. Liu Zheng
I have been paying attention to this matter over the past few years.
As far as the layout of Longyan City is concerned, there are two stages of development. The former stage was the "Lifang System" period, and the current "Xianfang System". Logically speaking, the Xiangfang System is already relatively advanced.
.Under this system, there will be no distinction between residential areas and industrial and commercial areas. Shops can be opened anywhere facing the street.
But no matter how advanced the urban pattern is, it still has flaws under the influence of the feudal dynasty.
The urban residential groups during the feudal society can be roughly divided into royal family, dignitaries, officials, businessmen, general urban residents, and expatriates. Therefore, although Longyan is a Xiangfang system, in fact, the rigid and harsh social life
The divided state still exists and is very prominent.
This strange urban layout has, to a great extent, restricted the development of Longyan society.
This way of dividing the area for living creates a great obstacle in terms of sensory vision, as well as cultural and commercial exchanges.
In Liu Zheng's view, a city is just a huge machine.
Stimulating domestic demand, economic development, and commercial exchanges should be a self-sufficient existence.
Then, every city should be made more active and open.
At least, in Liu Zheng's vision, no matter who the royal family or the powerful are, they should not have too many privileges in terms of residence. Because you have to admit that these people are the main consumer force in a city. To put it bluntly, Liu Zheng now wants to
It is necessary for every city to have a street market, a street market in the true sense. It is necessary for every residential area to intersect with the commercial area and gradually become one. The transportation network of streets and alleys has also begun to form.
This is the true Xiangfang system.
In Chinese civilization, the most typical representative work of the Xiangfang system is "Along the River During the Qingming Festival". This painting depicts the peak of the Xiangfang system at that time. Everyone was not in a closed market, and there were various
A prosperous scene where classes, different occupations, and various residents blend together.
It is also reflected in Meng Yuanlao's "Tokyo Dreams".
