At ten o'clock in the morning, Chen Sen, Li Han and other officials and generals passed through the Chang'an New City under construction and entered the palace from the Mingde Gate in the south.
The planned construction area of the first phase of Chang'an New City is 180 square kilometers, 18 kilometers long from north to south, and 10 kilometers wide from east to west. Four main gates, Chunming Gate, Jinguang Gate, Mingde Gate and Guanghua Gate, are built on the periphery of the new city as the landmarks of the new city.
One of the sex buildings.
As for the city wall that divides urban areas and suburbs, due to the development of modern wars, ordinary city walls cannot withstand the continuous bombardment of heavy artillery, so it was temporarily shelved to avoid wasting precious local labor on useless city wall fortifications.
.
On the other hand, in view of the important status of Chang'an City, after shelving the new city wall construction plan, the central government, in accordance with the requirements of the overall war preparation plan, first built complete and detailed heavy artillery fortifications based on the four city gate buildings such as Chunming Gate and Jinguang Gate.
Guard the security of the capital and the imperial city from different directions.
Secondly, Chang'an City is backed by the Cordoba Mountains and is located at the junction of the La Plata Plain and the northern mountains. The main threat it faces comes from the direction of the Chang'an-Songjiang Railway. Therefore, in the areas along the Chang'an-Songjiang Railway, the central government
Four fortress groups were planned in sequence to guard the east gate of Chang'an City.
The planning and development of Chang'an New City, the Imperial Palace and the newly occupied areas have led to the great development of the construction industry. In the past three to five years, the scale of cement, steel, masonry and other related industries has expanded more than ten times. The area originally planned to be used to build the city wall
The construction raw materials were saved and given priority to the construction of the Chang'an Imperial Palace and the Primero River Dam.
In the second half of 1869, the construction project of the Chang'an Palace began. By the beginning of August 1881, it took about two years to complete 65% of the task.
The construction of the Palace and Jianji Palace was completed and put into use a month ago. The main buildings of the three palace complexes of the Inner Dynasty, Changle Palace, Hanyuan Palace, and Weiyang Palace, have been partially completed. There are still about 120 ancillary buildings left for subsequent construction.
The construction period of the Primero River Dam is one month later than that of the Chang'an Imperial Palace. By the beginning of August, the dam construction has entered the final stage. It is expected that all construction tasks will be completed before the end of December.
The construction plan of Chang'an New Town is proceeding step by step. Different living areas and functional areas in the city have been established and improved one after another. The Primero Dam, which is responsible for ensuring agricultural water supply in the Gyeonggi region, is about to be completed...
With the improvement of supporting facilities related to urban life, residence and consumption, Chang'an New City has shown its emerging image as the national capital.
After walking around and taking a rough look at the city scene in the capital, Li Han exclaimed to Chen Sen and Hou Taiyuan with great interest, "The ancients often said that it is not easy to live in a prosperous place in the capital. In my opinion, the current Chang'an New City is also different from
The capital city in ancient times was similar. Merchants from all over the country brought rare and rare goods. Daily grain, rice, oil, and salt were 10% more expensive than in other areas. If there were no salaries and stipends issued by the imperial court, even we would not be able to do so.
Establish a foothold in the capital."
"The domestic situation in the Han Kingdom is stable, and the country's development momentum is booming. Many smart local businessmen and foreign businessmen from Germany, France, Venezuela, Colombia, etc. have set up commercial sites in the capital. They want to rely on the capital's well-informed advantage to win the first place.
We can obtain the latest political trends of the central government at the earliest possible time, and then formulate an industry development plan that meets the policy requirements of the central government earlier than our competitors, making careful preparations for ultimately obtaining considerable economic benefits."
Chen Sen recalled the local and foreign business names he saw along the way and said with a smile, "The country's development momentum is good, which drives the development of the local economy. At the same time, the prosperity of industry and commerce brings abundant fiscal and tax funds to the government. The two promote each other, and Beijing's business
The more developed the economy is, the more beneficial it is to the development of the country.
It's just that the influx of local and foreign businessmen has greatly raised the consumption standards and living costs in the capital. In the second half of 1979, the army had just occupied the old city of Chang'an (formerly the old city of Cordoba). At that time, a building with two front and back buildings
A house covering an area of about two acres costs about 4,000 Han yuan (equivalent to about 2,000 taels of Kuping silver).
Now the price has quadrupled. My wife wrote to me a few days ago saying that she is planning to buy a new, more spacious house in the capital. She has chosen one that covers an area of about four and a half acres and comes with a garden, yard, wing, and fish pond.
The owner of the Western-style house turned out to be asking for 35,000 Chinese yuan. If my wife and three children hadn’t insisted on buying it, I would have been reluctant to spend nearly half of my savings to get it from the greedy Songjiang (Buenos Aires City)
The house was bought from a businessman."
"Based on the current situation in the capital, Brother Chen thinks that the price of houses will continue to rise. If the price of houses continues to rise in the future, I also plan to buy a house covering an area of three or four acres in the capital. It will also be convenient for my wife and four children.
Come and live in the capital.”
Chen Sen's words aroused Li Han's interest. He explained, "Brother Chen, eldest brother Hou, and brother Feng all know that the hereditary nobles who were granted the title the year before last have their respective fiefdoms scattered in different areas of the country.
Brother Chen and Brother Feng's fiefdoms are in better locations. One is located in Jiangzhou and the other is located in Chuzhou. They are not too far from the capital and can be reached in one day by train.
The fiefdoms of Big Brother Hou and I are located in Yangzhou and Luozhou respectively. Although the climate there is good and the sea transportation is convenient, the wife and several children at home want to reunite in the capital, which involves diversions and delays in the middle of the journey.
It will take eight or nine days, which is very inconvenient, so if the price is right, I will write to my wife and ask her to come to the capital with a few relatives at home, and first make arrangements to buy a larger house in the capital.
Stay at the house."
"The price of houses in the capital should continue to rise, but you and I also know His Majesty's character. It won't be long before the central government will enact a law to limit the increase in housing prices. At that time, it may restrict businessmen from hoarding houses in large quantities and formulate more detailed housing regulations.
standards to limit the disorderly growth of the capital’s population.”
"Your Majesty does have this idea. Two days ago, Director-General Liu of the Ministry of Commerce, Director-General Sun of the Ministry of Finance, and Director-General Zheng of the Ministry of Personnel were received by His Majesty and asked them to discuss the formulation of administrative laws and regulations on public security, commerce, and residential management in the capital. Among them, containment
The random hoarding of residences by businessmen is something that His Majesty strongly reminds. In another three to two months, a law regulating the sale and purchase of residences in the capital should be promulgated."
Feng Guoan added, "After the promulgation of the law regulating residential sales, residential prices will not continue to rise. However, it will be much more difficult to buy a suitable house at that time than it is now. If Brother Li cannot get it for the time being,
With the remaining money, General Wang and I can support you partially. According to the future development of the capital, I suggest that Brother Li buy the house as soon as possible, otherwise the longer it takes, the more troublesome things will be."
"Brother Chen and Brother Feng are far-sighted. After I go back to court today, I will go back and write a letter to my wife, asking her to come over early and settle the matter at the house."
"It's better to be lucky than to rush early. If Brother Li can trust me and Commander Feng, there is no need to worry too much about buying a house. I will ask my wife and Commander Feng's wife to inquire about it in the capital in the past few days. They will look at a few more houses and wait until the younger brothers and sisters move in."
In the days when we are in Beijing, let my younger siblings look around with them and buy whichever house they like."
"Haha, please trouble me, Brother Chen. Brother Feng and the two sisters-in-law, please worry too much!"
"It's just a small matter. The big deal is that when Brother Li moves, prepare more food and wine to entertain us brothers in the army."
Chen Sen smiled heartily.
"I will definitely, I will definitely not forget to invite you all."......
Several people were talking and laughing as they entered the main hall outside the palace.
