Chapter 1358 Evidence
In May of the 11th year of Wanli, the yamen of the Oriental Army Mansion in Mexico City.

On the right side of Mexico City West Street not far from the Armed Forces Square, a carriage full of goods came.

The horse is a tall mixed-breed horse, and the car is a four-wheeled heavy trailer. All the carriages are printed with the four-character logo of Dongyang Military Government in black on a red background, and a small iron plate with the standard of the pack horse and the loading weight is cast on the side of the logo.

There is an iron plate with affiliation and label on the tail of their car, which shows that some of these uniformly manufactured carriages are heavy military vehicles under Changshengwei, and some are civilian trucks under Changsheng County.

The badges hanging around the horses' necks indicated that they were here not because of Shengwei's military duties, but because they were recruited.

The driver of the car travels along the track on the stone road all the way. Every time he passes a street intersection, the driver must carefully slow down the horse, and drive out slowly uphill three feet from the track, and then turn to drive into other places. Gently downhill track from wide to narrow.

The entire city was under construction, and the air seemed to be covered with a thick layer of smoke and dust in the hot weather. The Oriental Army Mansion reshaped Mexico.

In the past, Mexico was the center of the Governor-General of New Spain. After the colonialists razed the old city to the ground for decades, it perfectly inherited everything about the Spanish city during the Renaissance.

In its city center, there is the prosperous Armed Forces Square Market, the Governor's Mansion, which is as magnificent as a European palace, and the unprecedented cathedral of spectacle that is under construction and seems to never be completed.

There are also countless Spanish officials and businessmen, all of whom are extremely rich, and built manor-style mansions that set the pinnacle of European architectural expenditure.

At the same time, there are also dark and cramped crowded streets like Madrid. Both the Spanish lower classes and the Aztec survivors can only live with hunger, death, and poverty.The gray and thin faces on the street, the hungry and fierce eyes in the shadows, and the moaning prostitutes and endless patients in the corner.

Divide everything effortlessly into several cold worlds that are tightly nestled together and clearly separated.

Immigrants from Ming Dynasty, no one likes the feeling of this city.

Or that no one likes any town in Asia that was colonized by the Spanish.

The Dongyang Military Mansion has always wanted to rebuild the town to a certain extent, but it is difficult to start.

There are too many people in the city. If you want to re-plan, there are two biggest difficulties. One is the rich and noble mansions that occupy the best locations in the streets of the town and limit the size of the town, and the other is a large number of poor people serving the upper class.

Most of the former are Spaniards who have a good relationship with the military government. It is not difficult to drive them out and bulldoze the mansion, but it will definitely affect the latter, and it will also shatter the illusion of co-governance in the Governorate of New Spain.

And the number of the latter is too large, and it is not easy to arrange them in a short time.

The opportunity was the gunshots on the Colombian border last year. The Ming Dynasty took advantage of this to break out a local war with the Viceroyalty of Spanish Peru. The change in the situation made the Spanish nobles living in Mexico feel dangerous, and a large number of them voluntarily withdrew from Mexico City.

Governor Yang Tingxiang has been waiting for this opportunity.

For him, it is the best result for others to take the initiative to leave. In the end, there are a few people left. He also asked him to lend them a safer environment to take back the land and move them collectively to Xirenfang in Daxigang. Paving the way for urban renewal.

Then there is the real road construction. The lack of plantation owners has given the governor a large area of ​​idle land, and it has also made the poor in the city truly unemployed.

In good conscience, since Yang Tingxiang became the governor of Spain, the living conditions of the aborigines in the city have improved significantly. At least under the law, their labor is paid.

Although pitifully small, it is easy to be skimped by employers.

But starting from scratch is a huge step forward.

This time, Yang Tingxiang once again distributed a large amount of land to immigrants from Daming in the form of Changsheng's contract, and forced them to hire a certain number of aborigines in the city if they wanted to take the land. The problems of land and a large number of unemployed people were all solved.

After that, Chen Mu led the army back, and Mexico City ushered in a new era of construction.

They plan to widen the eight main roads around the square, repair the long bridge over the lake that runs from east to west, add two-way carriage tracks on the foundation of the stone road, lay dirt roads on both sides of the track, and regulate the legal provisions on the use of vehicles in the city.

Thanks to the cathedral built by the Spaniards in Mexico City, they didn't even need to go to the mountains on the east and west sides of the town for paving stones.

It was just a matter of turning the cathedral into a gravel yard, and a set of manpower equipment for cutting stones was brought in from Changsheng, and soon a steady stream of stone slabs could be used to pave the road.

Seeing that the stone materials were used up, he directly set up the tripod and the suspension arm to remove the roof. The more Chen Mu looked at the church, the more pleasing it was.

Not to mention how much he liked the Spaniards' habit of building endless cathedrals.

While demolishing the church here, he sent Chen Ju to Rome to encourage the high priest to continue to take off happily on the road of building construction. At this point, Marshal Dongyang Chen Mu was schizophrenic again.

The results of the efforts are also obvious. Now the east and west roads have been paved with wooden rails and roads, specially supplying Changsheng’s new double-horse carts to travel in the city. Low wooden railings divide the streets to keep them organized.

As for the construction of the neighborhoods inside the main road, the generals at all levels of the Toyo Military Mansion decided to plan the size, location, house regulations and construction design of the government offices to be completed by the Department of Architecture of the Clan University after discussions.

At the same time, applications for homestead purchase and construction companies in Mexico City are open, and they are allowed to recruit artisans to undertake house repairs for immigrant people in the city, and to impose legal constraints on all construction companies.

After these tasks are completed, the city of Mexico will be further expanded. According to the main plan of the Spaniards in the past, the city will be distributed in a ring shape. The ring road will be divided into eight inner lanes and eight outer lanes. A big city with a capacity of 6 people.

In the past, when Mexico City was the capital of the Aztecs, it once accommodated 20 people, but the living standards of those 20 people varied greatly, and the town management was relatively extensive.

By the Spanish era, there were hundreds of thousands of people living here, but the living standards of the vast majority of people have not increased.

The Mexico City that Chen Mu wants to renovate now is a military city that is livable and livable, prosperous in the market, industrial processing, transportation hub, ruling center, and of great significance to him. .

This will be his gift to the next Minister of the East, and it will also become a model for the construction and management of Daming City, which will allow him to leave his name in history even with this city alone hundreds of years later.

　Good morning! Chapter 2 will be released at night.
