MTL - Steel, Guns and the Industrial Party Across the World-Chapter 589 City planning

"I think this version of the planning proposal is good, if there is no objection, then this is it."

In Paul's office, a group of people gathered here, pointing at a piece of paper that looked like a map, and discussing with each other.

What they were discussing was the latest plan for the urban construction of Huxin Town.

Huxin Town has experienced a very high-speed expansion process in recent years, and the rapid influx of population has caused the city to build new buildings every day. Now, in addition to the original island area of ​​more than 600 mu in Huxin Town, a new urban area of ​​nearly 8,000 mu has been expanded on the south bank of Weiss Lake, which includes residences, schools, shops, factories, etc., and the population of the entire city Already close to 100,000.

Faced with this situation, the lord Paul Greiman felt that it was necessary to make a good plan for his city and not let it develop wildly and freely. For this reason, he sent Hansel to invite Smollett from Jingyao Sir. This urban planner is well-known in the south, and has presided over the reconstruction of Jingyao City many times.

"Oh, Honorable Earl Graham." Sir Smollett was standing beside Paul at this moment. He was a tall, thin, middle-aged man with curly hair that was delicate enough to look artistic at first glance, and a long, thin face. With a hint of arrogance on his face, "I have to admit that your city is the most vibrant city I have ever seen since I crossed the Simen River from the north. I think through our efforts, she will definitely become the most dazzling city in the north of the kingdom." Pearl of the

Now that Paul approved his plan, Jazz was not stingy with flattery. Of course, his praise is also very sincere. Along the way, the town under the rule of Earl Graman is indeed the leader among all the old hats in the north, at least in terms of cleanliness and tidiness. The n streets of the towns and cities in other territories are even better than Jingyao, because Jingyao is clean and tidy, that is, the upper city where the nobles and rich people live, and other places are equally dirty. Towns are all-encompassing.

When Smollett discussed the plan with Paul at the beginning, Sir was very surprised by some of Paul's requirements. For example, Paul insisted that the main road should be able to accommodate 10 medium-sized carriages driving side by side. Smollett couldn't understand Earl Graham What is the use of such a wide road, the other party replied that we should prepare in advance for the heavy traffic in the future. In addition, when Earl Gramain discussed the plan with him, he repeatedly emphasized the design of the sewer, requesting that the inside be wide enough to run a horse. In the end, he raised his head at 45 degrees and said something that touched Smollett-"The sewer is a city. conscience!"

Smollett stretched out his little finger, carefully pointing to a place on the map, this place is located in the island area, "I need to remind you, Lord Graman. I don't know if you have noticed, if you follow this version of the plan If you come, this...tomb on the island needs to be moved."

grave? Paul was taken aback, but he didn't notice. He picked up the magnifying glass, focused on the place where Smollett's little finger pointed, and said, "I think... there seems to be nothing wrong with it."

"Ahem!" The butler Philip on the side reminded, "According to our customs in the Northwest Gulf, it is best not to relocate the tomb unless it is absolutely necessary. If it is not handled properly, it may arouse public resentment. Besides, Greg Lord Man, there is also your family's cemetery in this area, which houses the remains of your parents and your younger brother who died young. So, see if you can ask Sir Smollett to modify the plan here."

"No!" Paul rejected Philip's butler's suggestion, "I think the current plan is the most perfect. As for the emotions of the people, well, I, Graman, will take the lead in moving the grave, and the lord will set an example. I don't think they can keep up with it." Follow. Of course, the Government Affairs Council has to prepare a sum of money, and all the expenses for moving graves of the people will be paid by the Government Affairs Council, so that’s the decision.”

Philip didn't say anything to stop him. He just sighed and said, "Okay, I'll start preparing for the relocation of the Graveman family mausoleum right away. I hope your father and mother won't blame us."

Everyone continued to discuss the details for a while, and Paul's secretary Berner suddenly raised a question—as the city grows larger and larger, is it really inappropriate to continue calling it "Huxin Town"?

"What you said makes sense." Paul was touched by what he said, and then thought of what Smollett said just now, and suggested: "How about renaming it [Glory of the North]?"

"This name is too rustic!" Hansel said his point of view mercilessly, "and it sounds very arrogant, the tree attracts the wind, Lord Graeman. You see here is surrounded by green trees every spring and summer, how about just How about calling it [Emerald City]?"

"Hoho!" Paul smiled and waved his hands, "It sounds very fragile, what I need is a majestic name! When I see this name, I can think of words such as greatness, glory, and indestructibility. "

Old Ford made a suggestion: "Maybe we can solicit from all the residents of the city. They live here and have the right to participate in the naming of the city."

"This is a good idea, Mr. Ford!" Paul nodded, and seemed very happy, "I believe in the wisdom of the collective, immediately post the matter of the city name on the bulletin board, and add some bounty, I have been thinking for a long time Someone will come to us. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"

"However, as the scale of the city expands, we must divide the city into different areas. I will name this area first!" He pointed to the island area surrounded by lake water, and said: "This island is still It's called Huxin Town."

At this time, Berner looked at the grandfather clock in the room and reminded Paul, "Master Graham, the people from the chemistry laboratory should be arriving soon. They have made an appointment at this time. Please see the discussion with Sir Smollett. Do you want to continue tomorrow?"

"Ah!" Paul looked at the time and suddenly remembered, he stood up and said to Smollett apologetically, "Unfortunately, I have other things to deal with now, can we continue our discussion tomorrow?" .”

"Oh, of course, Mr. Graman, please." While talking, Smollett rolled up the plan on the table.

After sending Smollett away, other government officials except Ratty also bid farewell to Paul and left. After all, the next discussion was about academic issues, and they didn't want to listen and couldn't understand.

Soon, several members of the chemical laboratory appeared in Paul's office, and they were going to report their latest progress to Paul.
