Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 382 New Chang'an City
Higo Prefecture, Gutian County, Kumamoto Castle.

Why does this name sound so weird?

This city also looks weird, it doesn't look like Daming's city at all.

The buildings in the city don't have any characteristics of the Ming Dynasty. Except for the county government office, the other buildings are basically the characteristics of Dongying.

Standing on the wall of Kumamoto Castle, Taichang scanned the buildings in the city with his binoculars, and frowned slightly.

To be honest, he doesn't like the name Kumamoto Castle very much, and he doesn't like the buildings of Dongying either.

Originally, he planned to set this place as a fishery processing center in the future, because the conditions here are unique.

First of all, it is right in the middle of Kyushu Island, which is the Xintang State Mansion, and its geographical location is quite superior.

And there is also a huge bay here, which is bigger than the bay at Dongyang Port, and it doesn't matter how many fishing boats dock there.

Moreover, this is the most densely populated area of ​​the New Tang Kingdom Mansion. Most of the civilians who migrated from Shikoku Island originally lived on the nearby plains. The cheap labor required for fishery processing is as much as there is.

Moreover, there are cities and ports here, and it is relatively convenient and quick to build a fishery processing center. You only need to find a few vacant lands to build a processing factory.

Before he came here, he planned to build a fishery processing center here.

However, this time he changed his mind.

Because this fishery processing center is bound to become the most prosperous place in the Xintang State Mansion, and it is the place that demonstrates the strength of the Ming Dynasty.

How can such a place use such a unique Japanese name?
How can such a place be full of Japanese-style buildings?
This is extremely detrimental to Sinicization!
He frowned slightly and pondered for a while, then said decisively: "Tear down this Kumamoto city!"

what?
Not only the magistrate of Tiantian was dumbfounded, but also Tang Wang Zhu Yujian was dumbfounded.

Why did the emperor go crazy all of a sudden?
Such a beautiful city, why should it be demolished?
This is a city, not a house!
Tang Wang Zhu Yujian couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, Xiao Wang dares to ask, why is this good city being demolished? How to deal with so many civilians inside?"

Taichang explained patiently: "You also know that we are going to build a fishery processing center here, and this will definitely become the most prosperous place in the Xintang State Mansion in the future, and most of the civilians in the New Tang State Mansion will probably gather here.

We retain such a name with strong Japanese characteristics, and then retain so many buildings with Japanese characteristics. Doesn’t this make them nostalgic for the past?

This is extremely detrimental to our long-term control of this place in the future.

We must vigorously promote sinology and sinicize the common people here as soon as possible.

Therefore, this city cannot be left behind.

We need to build a city with the most Ming features here. "

That's what happened.

Tang Wang Zhu Yujian couldn't help but nodded and said: "Your Majesty is wise, this city must be demolished! By the way, Your Majesty, what should we call the newly built city?"

This is simple.

Taichang said without hesitation: "Isn't this the Tang Dynasty? The newly built city should be called New Chang'an City. What Feihou Prefecture sounds awkward, so let's change it to Xinyongzhou, and Feiqian Prefecture can be directly changed to Feizhou."

New Chang'an City, what a good name!
New Yongzhou, the name is much nicer than Feihouzhou.

Originally, the world was divided into nine states, so Chang'an City was located in Yongzhou.

There is also Feizhou, which sounds much better than Hizen Prefecture.

Tang Wang Zhu Yujian nodded repeatedly to show his approval.

As soon as Taichang's words fell, he couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, how big is the new Chang'an city? Is it built according to the regulations of a small county town or according to the regulations of a large county town?"

What a small county is a big county.

Why are you so petty?

Aren't you ignoring the name New Chang'an City?
If you want to build, build a big city!

Taichang thought for a while, and then made a decision: "This new Chang'an City will be built according to the current style of Xi'an Fucheng, just order someone to bring over the blueprint of Xi'an Fucheng, and Qin Wangfu will be changed to Tangwangfu, and you will move here in the future." Come sit down."

This is a good thing, not only does he live in the Xinwang Mansion, but it is also much more convenient to deal with the affairs of the Xintang Mansion here than in Zhenwa City.

After all, this is the middle area of ​​the New Tang State Mansion, and it is much more convenient to pass official documents between the state capitals on all sides.

Question, Xi'an Fucheng is not an ordinary city. Its scale is almost as big as the inner city of the capital. How long will it take to build such a large city?

Tang Wang Zhu Yujian thought for a while, and then said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the new Chang'an City doesn't need to be built so big, right? You know, Xi'an Fucheng is considered the largest among all the Fucheng, and there is no problem with a few 10 people living in it! And at this moment, the population of the New Tang Dynasty is only over 200 million, and if such a large city is built, most of the place will be empty!"

Is it big?
Taichang shook his head again and again and said: "It's not big, you know, this new Chang'an City is a fishery processing center, and a lot of factories need to be built just to process dried fish, smoked fish, dried shrimp, and shelled shrimp." , Fertilizer processing, etc. These factories have to be built very large, otherwise, how can there be enough places to dry fish, shrimp, fish bones and so on? As for the population, won’t there be more if they multiply slowly?”

Well, drying fish, shrimp and fish bones does take up space, because you have to spread all the fish and fish bones and everything.

You know, those are fish and shrimps that can easily weigh hundreds of thousands or even millions of catties, and it doesn't know how much space they will take up when spread out.

Question, the city building speed seems to be slower than the ship building speed!
Tang Wang Zhu Yujian thought about it again, and then reminded: "Your Majesty, didn't you say that the shipyard in Wubei City should speed up the progress and build five large fishing boats within three months. The problem is three months. The new Chang'an It is basically impossible to build the city well, what if the large fishing boats have been built and the city for processing fish has not yet been built?"

It is indeed impossible to build a large prefectural city in three months.

However, that was before.

Now nothing is impossible.

Because now there is cement!

There are not many high-rise buildings in the city at the moment, and there are very few two-story buildings. With cement, the speed of building bungalows is simply not too fast.

And there is no shortage of labor to build the city at the moment.

Taichang said with a little madness: "Nothing is impossible. You have never seen the speed of building a city with cement. Also, isn't there more than [-] captives in the Xintang State Mansion at the moment, and they just don't have much to do. , Gather them all here to build the city! I still don’t believe that a new Chang’an city can’t be built in three months!”

Well, with more than 20 captives and cement, it is really possible to build the new Chang'an City in three months.

Once the emperor goes crazy, nothing is impossible!

Upon hearing this, Tang Wang Zhu Yujian cupped his hands without hesitation and said, "The emperor is wise!"

Taichang is really a bit crazy at the moment, because the benefits brought by monopolizing marine resources are enough to make people crazy.

At least tens of millions of taels a year!

If this matter is done well, Daming won't have to worry about money anymore.

Of course, such a major task cannot be done with a single thought, it has to be done, and sufficient resources must be mobilized to push it forward.

For example, the new Chang'an City will be the template for fishery processing centers in the future. If Daming really monopolizes all the sea areas, how many such fishery processing centers will be built.

Therefore, this new Chang'an city must not only be built quickly, but also better built.

Taichang simply stayed here and did not leave!
Under his personal promotion as the emperor, the speed of building the city cannot be slowed down.

Soon, officials from the Ministry of Industry rushed over with the blueprints of Xi'an Fucheng, and the construction materials such as cement, wood and stone were also quickly delivered, and the prisoners scattered in the states of Xintang Palace were escorted over one after another.

In less than a few days, a huge construction site started.

Not to mention, the construction speed of this new Chang'an city is really not ordinary fast.

Because most of the city is a factory, and most of the factory is used to dry things.

This place to dry things is the cement floor!
Just flatten the ground and pour a layer of cement on it, can you not hurry up?
