Xu Fang summoned the Insect King again, making the green-skinned little crocodile recognize all of his own people.
Coincidentally, the Insect King also has a cartoonish art style, and the two beasts inexplicably hit it off and had a great time.
"Eee-yah-yah," El Niño tugged at Xu Fang's clothes, sounding a little aggrieved.
Clearly, clearly they were here first, but it seems the Insect King prefers the little green crocodile!
"Good boy." Xu Fang patted its head, skillfully soothing its emotions.
After having a baby, it's important to pay attention to the older child's emotions. Xu Fang feels he's becoming more and more of a qualified dad!
at the same time.
A certain spot in Dongting Lake.
"Ouch!!!!!"
The sound of anger and resentment resounded through the heavens and the earth. The lake water churned because of the roar, and all life trembled in fear, afraid of angering their king.
"What's wrong with this beast?" Staff Officer Li asked warily.
"It seems like something important has been stolen," said Ma Junsi, who specializes in summoning.
"Stay vigilant. Jinlin City is now protected by the Earth Core, so this beast can't get in, but there's no guarantee it won't seek revenge elsewhere!"
"Yes!"
"understand!"
This monarch-level demon was far too powerful. Although the military promptly dispatched additional personnel, killing it remained an impossible dream.
Unless the Forbidden Spells Association approves it, like they did in the ancient capital, allowing forbidden spell masters to come... that's even more unrealistic. It's more practical for them to work overtime!
Chapter 381 Dean Xiao, I still have a favor to ask of you.
#Breaking News! Jinlin City Reconstruction Project Launched, Unprecedented in Scale, Shocking the Nation!#
#Stunning News! Jinlin City Reborn from the Ashes: Reconstruction Plan Revealed and Breathtaking!#
#The heart of the earth revitalizes the city, Jinlin City's reconstruction is progressing rapidly!#
#Xu Fang, the top official of the Nationalist government, reappears and takes office as the Military Intelligence Bureau of Jinlin City!#
In the early morning, many people see a bunch of push notifications as soon as they turn on their phones.
Although they didn't understand what the Earth's Core was, nor did they know where this so-called Jinlin City was.
But this didn't stop them from getting excited about it, leaving comments on every related topic!
"Holy crap, I woke up to find that humans have reclaimed cities from demons! Can anyone tell me what year it is?"
"No wonder he's my idol, he became a Kuomintang agent right after graduation. I wish I could have him in his uniform and... (covers face)"
"The person upstairs has been reported for alleged sexual misconduct!"
"Enough with the nonsense, let's open the investment channel. My money is itching to be used!"
Xu Fang didn't have time to read those comments.
As the number one figure in Jinlin City and a member of the Military Intelligence Bureau, he is currently beyond busy.
Countless powerful families have approached him, hoping to use him to grab the biggest slice of this freshly baked cake.
Driven by profit, they offered many conditions that were quite tempting even to Xu Fang.
Xu Fang chose to put these aside.
A city cannot exist without powerful families, but it is even more intolerable for them to become a stage for fame and fortune.
The most important things must be kept in the hands of the state and the people!
"This is my plan."
Inside the prefabricated house, Xu projected his PowerPoint presentation onto the wall; it was a city planning scheme.
"Our primary focus should be on urban development, and more specifically, infrastructure."
Throughout history, cities that prioritize infrastructure have often excelled in other areas, leading to prosperity, strength, and flourishing.
Conversely, if even the infrastructure is mediocre, the city will not last.
It's like a car cobbled together from random parts, with no staying power whatsoever.
"I agree."
Zhan Kong joked:
"Let alone others, if I had known in advance that Jinlin City didn't even have an office, and that the prestigious Military Intelligence Bureau would have to make do in a prefab house, I wouldn't have been willing to transfer here."
“And then there’s transportation,” Xu Fang continued. “First, we need to establish a few main roads to connect the city.”
Looking at Xu Fang's PPT, Zhang Xiaohou asked in confusion, "Brother Fang, why do I feel like you don't have many roads? You haven't covered the entire city yet?"
"Nonsense, I have no money!" Xu Fang rolled his eyes.
"Can't I lend it to you?"
"cannot!"
Xu Fang flatly refused.
When a city is just starting out and everything is at zero, borrowing money undoubtedly shifts the initiative to diplomacy.
Xu Fang had no intention of getting too involved in finance from the very beginning.
Debt is like drinking poison to quench thirst.
"Setting up a large operation and occupying land first is called extravagance and formalism."
Xu Fang said, "Plans can't keep up with changes. Let's first do a good job of understanding and implementing each small area of a few square kilometers. The big plan will come naturally later."
Even the most brilliant economist can lose everything.
During the Great Depression, there were many economists who jumped off buildings or took bombs.
Xu Fang knew he didn't have the ability, and it was better to take things one step at a time and be down-to-earth when it came to such a big matter.
He plans to have the task assessed and completed by professional construction engineers from the military.
Unlike my previous life, where I only needed to consider indicators such as flood control, waterlogging prevention, fire prevention, epidemic prevention, and civilization.
But in this world, demons cannot be ignored!
The types of demons and monsters that inhabit the vicinity can have a decisive impact on the planning of a city.
The best example is Tokai Naval Battle City in Tokyo, which leverages the connections between buildings and the varying widths of alleyways to create a home-field advantage.
Zhang Xiaohou nodded thoughtfully.
These theories were novel to him, quite different from those magic textbooks.
"I ask you, what is the most important thing for a city?" Xu Fang asked.
"money?"
"Wrong, it's a person!"
Xu Fang corrected, "The foundation of a city's development lies in the flow of people. Everything we do is, frankly speaking, aimed at attracting people to the city!"
“Building infrastructure can create jobs and attract people.”
"Improving infrastructure and creating a better living environment is ultimately for the sake of population growth!"
"Everything we do is to attract more people to Jinlin City and help build Jinlin City!"
What's the point of playing if nobody's playing?
Is a city without people still a city?
Xu Fang changed a slide:
"Therefore, after completing the most basic infrastructure, our primary goal is to attract people."
"What attracts people to leave their homes and come here is simply to make them feel that they are getting 'good value for their money'—at the very least, they need to have a visible way to make a living!"
"Establish large factories, create jobs, attract a large population, and use this as a springboard to drive a series of economic industries!"
Like Shenzhen in its previous life, it was initially just an experimental window.
It was announced from above that foreign companies could build factories here, and through publicity, the labor force that was struggling to make a living was made aware of the existence of this place.
As more and more laborers poured in, their wallets grew fatter, and one building after another was built!
Now, Shenzhen's industries have been upgraded, and it is no longer a labor-intensive industrial city, but has transformed into an innovation city!
This kind of grand scale is truly breathtaking!
"So, which factory should we start with?" Zhan Kong asked.
"That's all I wanted to say."
Xu Fang smiled and pressed the page-turning pen again.
"I reviewed the archives from before the destruction of Jinlin City and discovered that there is a high probability that a mineral vein existed in the northern suburbs!"
······
Xu Fang was not an expert in identifying mineral veins.
He chose to contact Mingzhu Academy and have them send a professional team of instructors to conduct a survey.
"Dean Xiao, you're becoming more and more like Doraemon," Xu Fang said sincerely over the phone.
"Young people are talking nonsense again... People won't arrive for a while. It's graduation season now, and everyone has tasks to complete and can't get away."
Dean Xiao said.
"Of course," Xu Fang chuckled, "There's one more thing..."
"You said."
"If Jinlin City needs to rebuild its magic school in the future, how about we put it under the name of Mingzhu Affiliated High School?"
"There's very little precedent for this... unless you're the principal."
Dean Xiao spoke in a businesslike tone: "If you become the principal and also hold a professorship at our Pearl Academy, this matter can be arranged!"
