Daming: I have a showdown, my father-in-law is the emperor

Chapter 242 Capital Construction Planning
Chen Fan and his party came to the conference hall in a mighty manner.

Everything in the conference hall has already been prepared.

Chen Fan asked Qingcheng to turn on the lights and projectors in advance.

So as soon as everyone came in and looked at the bright and spacious conference hall, the adults let out shocking exclamations.

"This conference hall is truly majestic and splendid."

"As expected of spending a lot of money to build it, it's nothing short of spectacular."

"This is the first time this old man has seen such a magnificent conference hall."

Usually, the living room where everyone receives guests is extremely ordinary. How can there be the magnificence of this conference hall.

During the last opening ceremony of the Ming Dynasty Royal Primary School, some ministers and ministers received invitations.

After the opening ceremony, everyone visited around the campus.

Because the conference building was not in operation at that time, everyone did not come to visit the conference hall.

speak up.

It is also the first time for all the adults present to come to this conference hall.

"Okay, adults, don't be amazed. There will be opportunities for everyone to visit in the future. Please find a seat in the first row. I'm going to start giving a speech."

Sure enough, after hearing Chen Fan's words, everyone consciously came to the front and found a good seat to sit down.

There are dozens of seats in the first row, enough for the fourteen audience present to sit down.

Chongzhen sat in the middle of the first row, just facing the projection screen on the podium.

After everyone sat down, the entire conference hall still seemed empty.

This conference hall can accommodate thousands of people to listen to reports together.

Now it's just these ten people, it's really a bit overkill.

After everything is ready.

Chen Fan stepped onto the podium and faced the audience.

Waiting for Pei Yuanqing outside the campus just now wasted a lot of time.

So Chen Fan didn't intend to talk nonsense, and went straight to the topic, and started the report.

Soon, Chen Fan's voice sounded through the microphone throughout the conference hall.

"Presumably all of you adults have the impression that I said before that I want to build Daming into a modern look. According to the original situation, this process will be very long, at least decades. But now the situation has changed, I want to speed up This process is over."

"Everyone, please look at the screen. The modernization of Ming Dynasty has been divided into two stages."

"The first stage is to concentrate resources and make every effort to build the capital. It is estimated that it will take ten years to build the capital into the most prosperous metropolis."

"The second stage is the large-scale construction of other key cities throughout the Ming Dynasty."

"At present, due to the deletion of the plot, the second stage may not be used, so I will focus on explaining the construction of the first stage."

The people below listened with gusto, fascinated.

Look, it's worthy of being a national teacher, and it's super generous when he makes a move.

In ten years, build the capital into the most prosperous city.

Everyone was excited to hear it.

Chen Fan continued to introduce:
"Everyone, please look at this chessboard. This is not an ordinary chessboard. This is a sketch map of the capital's urban planning."

While speaking, a huge chessboard diagram appeared on the screen.

The people below are very puzzled, isn't this the chessboard for playing Go?
How did it have anything to do with the urban planning of the capital?

Chen Fan explained with a smile:
"I plan to plan the capital like a chessboard. The square in the middle is His Majesty's palace. Spread out from the palace area, and each square on the chessboard has a specific purpose."

"These criss-crossing lines on the chessboard are the Kangzhuang Avenue to be built. These 38 roads are used to separate the entire capital. The 320 four squares on the chessboard are the key construction areas of the capital."

"In order to facilitate the management of the capital, I divided it into five districts, the first ring, the second ring, the third ring, the fourth ring, and the fifth ring which is the outermost circle."

"The general plan for the future of the entire capital is like this. Of course, this is just the current plan. If the population of the capital increases in the future, it can be expanded outward. The sixth, seventh, and eighth rings have all reserved places."

Everyone nodded from time to time. The urban planning of the capital is very easy to understand and clear at a glance.

Everyone can understand at a glance that straight avenues separate the entire capital city, which not only facilitates the travel of ordinary people, but also facilitates the management of the imperial court.

Chen Fan continued:

"Okay, just now is the general plan of the capital, now I will talk about the specifics."

"I expect to increase the population of the capital to 5000 million within ten years..."

Halfway through Chen Fan's speech, there was an uproar at the scene.

boom!
Everyone looked at Chen Fan in disbelief, as if they had heard something from the Arabian Nights.

"5000 million people? How is that possible?"

"That's right! The current population of the capital is only 100 million people, 5000 million people? I can't even imagine it."

"The national teacher must be joking!"

"According to the last national population count, there are 7000 million registered people. Even if some unregistered hidden households are added, the total population of Ming Dynasty is only [-] million."

"What Master Yang said is true, 5000 million? This is equivalent to relocating half of the country's population to the capital. How is this possible?"

Everyone questioned it inconceivably, it was really unbelievable.

Chen Fan had expected everyone's reaction.

It is indeed beyond their imagination to increase the population of the capital from 100 million to 5000 million.

But for Chen Fan, it was not impossible.

Just like Chongqing in the modern world, the current total population exceeds 3000 million.

Therefore, a population of 5000 million in the capital city is not so inconceivable.

According to Chen Fan's plan, among the 5000 million people, 3000 million are Daming people, and the other 2000 million people are elites from all over the world.

Since the capital of Ming Dynasty is to be built into the world's largest metropolis surpassing New York, there must be elites from all over the world of Ming Dynasty to be worthy of the name.

As for whether the capital will attract elites from all over the world, Chen Fan is not worried about this issue at all.

It is an eternal truth that water flows to low places and people go to high places.

It doesn't matter which country you are in.

When Chen Fan gradually builds the capital into a modernized state, elites from all over the world will naturally flow to the capital of Daming.

This is beyond doubt.

Facing everyone's doubts, Chen Fanlang said:
"I know that everyone has questions, but let me finish talking about the capital city plan first. Finally, I will give you a chance to ask questions. If you have any questions, you can ask them together, and I will answer them one by one. You don't have to worry. "

As soon as these words came out, everyone slowly calmed down their excitement.

Chen Fan knows what everyone is worried about?
It is nothing more than worrying that 5000 million people will flood into the capital to live together, which will bring about uncontrollable changes.

Regarding this point, Chen Fan had already thought of a countermeasure.
