I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

Chapter 211 [3 More] 211

Liu Tan single-handedly made everyone present doubt whether he was illiterate or not.

He waited for a long time and didn't wait for everyone's inquiry, so he couldn't help feeling a little strange for a while: "What's the matter? Don't you have anything to ask?"

This city is different from Chang'an, or any other city in Dahan now, right?

Why don't you look surprised at all?

Liu Tan was originally full of confidence and prepared to meet everyone's surprised eyes, but the result was different from what he imagined.

Huo Guang coughed lightly and asked, "This word...Nianfang? What does it mean?"

Liu Tan was stunned, looked down at the word, and thought about it seriously. It seemed that in his daily life and in the documents he had read, he had never seen anyone use this word.

So this is... the word hasn't come up yet?

The corner of Liu Tan's mouth twitched and said in embarrassment, "Ah, this means the alley or street market."

With this explanation, everyone understood a little bit, looked down, and Jiang Chong asked: "What is this square... for?"

Is it necessary to take care of people by dividing them into pieces?This is everyone's first reaction.

Liu Tan explained in detail: "It's like this. Look at this picture. There are roads between the squares, and each square has gates. These gates are open during the day, but after the curfew, these gates are closed. The gate will be closed, but the inside of the workshop will remain the same, there is no curfew."

"What?" Everyone was surprised: "There is no curfew?"

Liu Tan nodded: "That's right, after this division, the guards only need to patrol the main roads, and in the workshop, each workshop has its own workshop owner, and the workshop owner's subordinates are also used to maintain law and order."

After Liu Tan finished explaining, Li Buyi looked around, poked Wei Buyi and asked softly, "Do you understand?"

Wei Buyi looked at him in bewilderment and shook his head.

At this time, Huo Guang suddenly said, "Wonderful, even if someone wants to do something wrong at night, the harm can only be limited to the workshop, and there is no need to worry about it during the day."

Liu Tan nodded and said, "In this way, it will be beneficial to the security of the city."

Jiang Chong was silent for a while and asked: "Your Highness, are these small squares the houses drawn by His Highness?"

Liu Tan nodded: "That's right, except for the markets in the east and west, all the other squares are places to live."

Jiang Chong asked a very heart-wrenching sentence: "Your Highness, there are so many houses, we don't have so many people to live in."

Liu Tan: ...

Why can't this pot be opened and which pot should be lifted?

Huo Guang who was on the side smiled and said: "His Royal Highness has no intention of moving the capital now, so Shuofang City is the capital of the king. In the future, Shuofang City will naturally gather people, so don't worry about too many houses."

Liu Tan said angrily: "Who said they are going to live here? Most of these frontages are shops, and besides Dongxishi, other squares also need special commercial locations!"

Liu Tan casually swiped on the map, and everyone looked at each other, thinking that this...is not very reliable.

In the current Shuofang City, it would be nice to be able to eat enough. How can there be so many people doing business?Even doing business is mostly barter.

Liu Tan could tell what they were thinking just by looking at their expressions, and couldn't help but said sadly: "Everyone should take a long-term view, look at the current Chang'an, Shuofang City can be built to the level of Chang'an, at least there must be a king's capital look like?"

Huo Guang opened his mouth and said, "But Your Highness... Your plan is only 01:30 worse than Chang'an's."

Yes, it’s not Liu Tan’s plan that everyone is confused about. The concept of Fang is very good. It can make everyone more free, and at the same time, the law and order can be guaranteed. At least the place where the royal palace and nobles live is guaranteed.

But this picture, just...it looks like the city is huge. Where did they get the money?

Liu Tan waved his hand: "Isn't that not as big as Chang'an? Everyone must be ambitious, the king's capital of the northern border country, highlight a grandeur!"

Everyone: All right, you are the boss, what do you like to do.

Huo Guang said solemnly, "How long will it take for such a large project to be completed?"

Liu Tan raised his head and said, "With cement, it should be much easier."

Jiang Chong rubbed his hands together and said, "Your Highness, I don't doubt anything, I just think... Although cement is good, maybe it's not suitable to build a city wall?"

Liu Tan glanced at him and smiled, "I know what you're thinking, and I'll make it suitable."

Huo Guang asked: "How did it change?"

Liu Tan said decisively: "Steel bar!"

Everyone was at a loss: "Steel...rebar?"

They had just come into contact with the concept of steel not long ago, and it was only when Liu Tan created Baisteel that they learned about it.

I have to say that Bailian Steel is indeed very sharp, Li Buyan and Wei Buyi are almost crying, not to mention the two of them, even Huo Guang and Jiang Chong want it very much.

These days, men usually wear swords as decorations, but everyone wants good ones even for decorations.

It's a pity that only the emperor and the prince have it now, the emperor has a sword, the prince has a dagger, nothing else, not even Liu Tan!

Therefore, everyone agrees that steel is more precious than broken evil gold. The preciousness of broken evil gold is entirely due to Liu Tan's control of production and hype.

But the output of steel is really very low.

Liu Tan said: "Think of steel bars as animal skeletons. With steel bars supporting them, cement and bricks are stronger, and it will be very difficult to break through."

Reinforced concrete and concrete, and then widen and thicken the city wall, the Xiongnu can break his city wall, he has the same surname as the king of the Xiongnu!

Do you really think that he worked so hard to get Bailian Steel out just to show off to Liu Che and Liu Ju?

Hey, wait, do the Huns have a surname?

Li Buyan wondered, "Since it's a skeleton, why is it called a steel bar instead of a steel frame?"

Liu Tan choked, how did he know why it was called steel bar?Isn't that called getting used to it?

This brat... Liu Tan slapped him on the back of the head without hesitation: "You're the only one who talks too much!"

Li Buyan scratched his head and didn't know where he said something wrong again.

Jiang Chong, who was at the side, asked: "But Your Highness, it is so difficult to make steel, so the steel bars should be very difficult, right? The city wall project is huge, can you be busy?"

Liu Tan said very calmly: "Don't worry about the city wall, build the inner city first."

"What?" Everyone said in unison.

Wei Buyi couldn't sit still: "Your Highness, this... There is no city wall here, even if the inner city is built, what if the Xiongnu..."

He didn't continue talking. According to the current situation, the Huns will still come.

Liu Tan said: "I am here, the Xiongnu dare not come, otherwise why Shuofang City was destroyed, but the palace was not affected at all?"

Isn't that because the Huns don't want to talk to Liu Tan about carrying it head-on?It's just that Shuofang City was destroyed, Liu Tan might still be busy with settling down the people first, and bear with it for a while.

But if Shuofang City is destroyed together with the palace, and the King of the Northern Realm goes crazy, it is really unpredictable.

After Liu Tan finished speaking, he added with a sneer: "What's more, Gongsun Ao dares to let the Xiongnu over to try."

Seeing that they couldn't convince him, everyone simply didn't say anything else, anyway, Liu Tan had the final say.

Liu Tan added: "By the way, all the land belonging to the people within the city will be purchased and owned by the imperial court. In addition to the purchase at the normal land price, a part of the subsidy will be given, and they will be eligible to buy it after the city is built. Buying a house, as for the land, discuss a purchase agreement for the occupied cultivated land, and then send people to explore where it is suitable for reclamation, let them go there, and exempt from tax within three years."

Huo Guang listened while memorizing, and when he finished memorizing, Jiang Chong saw that he was silent and couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, the national treasury may not be able to support such a huge expenditure."

Liu Tan snapped his fingers and said, "Miao Rui, turn around and give the account of selling honeycomb briquettes in Chang'an to Mr. Zong Yi, and then pay the tax, even if you miss a copper coin."

Miao Rui immediately stood up and responded: "Yes, rest assured, Your Highness, this old slave will definitely handle it well."

Jiang Chong was stunned for a moment, and said hesitantly, "Even if those briquettes are taxed..."

Liu Tan smiled: "Do you know how much each of my briquettes sells for?"
