Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

Xiao Xuexing placed the sand table of the Jinling Mausoleum in the side hall, and Xiao Zirong could see it at a glance when he passed by.

Xiao Xuexing followed him and said: "Time is short, so I can only do it according to the existing map. Many details can't be compared. You can refer to it first, and wait until Jinling."

Xiao Zirong said: "This is already very good, it's not simple at all."

The most detailed part of this sand table is probably Jingkou, probably because this place is too important, so the imperial court has a very detailed understanding of this place.

Xiao Zirong scratched his head and said, "I still don't understand why Uncle insisted on giving me Jingkou."

This made him flustered, even if he used the excuse that his family was more reliable, he couldn't really believe it.

Xiao Xuexing asked suddenly: "Do you think if you put Taoyuan City and Jiankang together and attack them separately with the same force, under the condition of the same resistance, will Taoyuan City last longer or Jiankang?"

After hearing this, Xiao Zirong said without thinking, "Of course it's Taoyuan City."

Jiankang's city wall is also good, but it still can't get rid of the limitations of the times. The city wall here is made of stones, and because the stones are heavy and difficult to transport and build, the height of the city wall is not high, no more than four meters look.

Compared with the city wall of Taoyuan City, which is close to six meters, does it need to be said?

What's more, there are no fortifications on the walls of Jiankang, only watchtowers for observation, how can it be compared to Taoyuan City?

But after Xiao Zirong finished speaking, he realized that co-author Xiao Xuan had taken a fancy to the fortifications of Taoyuan City.

Xiao Zirong didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said, "If that's the case, Uncle can completely imitate Taoyuan City to build a city, why do you have to let me go there?"

Xiao Xuexing said: "This way of building the city wastes people's money and money. The most important thing is that those who have to accept the task should not fill their own pockets. Otherwise, even His Majesty may not be able to support it. At that time, there will always be people in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty who will take the opportunity to suppress it."

Well, Xiao Zirong didn't need to ask too many questions to understand that these problems are not a problem for him, because firstly he can make salt, and secondly, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty will not stumble because of the medicine in his hand.

Looking at it this way, it seems that he is indeed the most suitable.

This kind of feeling of giving up to me is very good, and Xiao Zirong can't wait to go to Jinling to start building the city immediately.

Xiao Xuexing knew that he was interested when he saw his fighting spirit, so he couldn't help but smiled, his younger brother was really too lazy these days, so lazy that he couldn't stand it anymore.

It's not that he insists on asking Xiao Zirong to do something, it's just that Xiao Zirong is full of energy when he is busy with things. Even if he is not decadent these days, he is different from before.

If Xiao Zirong didn't have much talent, he would keep it if he had it. Now...Xiao Xuexing was a little bit reluctant to part with the talent in the other party.

Xiao Zirong looked at the sand table and said, "Brother, I don't plan to use the existing city."

Xiao Xuexing was not surprised and said: "It's okay, the people of Jinling are tough, if you're new here, I'm afraid they may not really take you seriously, so it's better to avoid it first."

Of course Xiao Zirong knew that the folk customs of Jinling were tough, and according to records, the people there would fight with each other, but Xiao Zirong was not worried, he would not take office alone, he was a vassal king, and the maximum number of guards allowed was About one thousand, this number is not too small.

Xiao Zirong chose for a long time, and chose the place near Wujun, and next to the chosen location is the world-famous Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

Xiao Xuexing was a little surprised: "I thought you would choose a place closer to Taoyuan City."

Xiao Zirong said: "Taoyuan City is now on the right track. I only need to visit it occasionally, and I don't need to stare at it every day. There is the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal in the west and Wu County in the east. The geographical location is very good."

These days, Wu County basically covers more than half of Zhejiang Province, and the place Xiao Zirong chose is near Shanghai according to the maps of later generations.

He chose this place because of its convenient location, the middle point of the Sujiahang Plain, or the end of the Yangtze River, and it is also good as a foreign trade port.

Although there is nothing there now, all cities have developed little by little.

Xiao Zirong started to make plans after choosing a place, Xiao Xuexing simply took him to the study and gave him a book case for him to toss about by himself, while he dealt with the paperwork piled up yesterday.

Originally, Xiao Xuexing had already prepared for Xiao Zirong to talk and play with Xiao Zirong when he got tired, but he waited until the lights came on, and he finished all the documents by himself, and when he looked up, Xiao Zirong was still at the desk Write and draw.

Xiao Xuexing didn't want to disturb him at first, but seeing the little bastard lying on the desk as if he had no bones, he couldn't help but go over and grab his collar to make him sit upright.

Xiao Zirong was immersed in planning, feeling like those business games he played back then. It was a very fulfilling thing to watch a place be built bit by bit from scratch.

It was because he was so absorbed that he didn't even realize that Xiao Xue was walking, until the collar was pulled, he was startled, and looked up at Xiao Xuexing.

Because he was frightened, he couldn't help but round his eyes, and when he looked up at people like this, he would appear smaller than usual.

Xiao Xuexing felt vaguely as if he had seen the thin and small boy back then.

As soon as his heart softened, his tone was naturally more gentle: "Sit down, don't you want your eyes?"

Xiao Zirong was relieved when he saw it was him, only then did he realize that it was actually dark outside.

Xiao Zirong put down his pen, scratched his head and said, "Is it already this time?"

Xiao Xuexing ordered the meal to be set and said, "Are you hungry? Put it aside for a while and continue tomorrow."

Although Xiao Zirong still wanted to continue, but he couldn't bear to give up the opportunity to eat with Xiao Xuexing, so he washed his hands and ate together in the end, and then took a walk in the Prince Regent's mansion.

While walking, Xiao Xuexing asked: "Seeing that you have painted so many, do you have a clue?"

Xiao Zirong looked at him brightly and said, "Yes, I'm going to divide the city into about five areas."

Xiao Xuexing was a little surprised: "The five areas? What are they all for?"

It was the first time he had heard that regions would be divided into regions. Although the cities of Qi must be divided into regions, few of them were properly divided from the beginning. I figured it out spontaneously.

Xiao Zirong said: "The middle of the city is the residential area, that is to say, the residences are all in the middle, oh, the shops are also in the middle, and then the remaining four areas are planned around the middle. There are heavy industry zones, light industry zones, high-tech zones and finally a foreign trade zone.”

Even though Xiao Xuexing was well-informed, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed: "What are these... all for?"

After listening to it for a long time, he was able to understand the residential area, and understood every word, but he couldn't understand it all together.

Xiao Zirong explained: "Industry is divided into heavy industry and light industry. Heavy industry is... well, iron smelting is considered heavy industry, and light industry is the manufacture of textiles and some daily necessities."

In fact, the division of heavy industry and light industry can be more detailed, but if we really want to follow the historical development, the concept of industry will not come into being until thousands of years later, and it is not yet time to distinguish those industries.

Xiao Xuexing thought for a while and said, "So it seems that heavy industry is a production department mainly based on mineral materials?"

Xiao Zirong directly gave Xiao Xuexing a thumbs up and said, "Smart!"

Xiao Xuexing's ability to grasp the key points is absolutely perfect.

Xiao Xuexing smiled reservedly and asked: "What about high-tech and foreign trade? Isn't there already a commercial area in the city? Why do we need to set up foreign trade?"

Xiao Zirong explained: "Heavy industry and light industry focus on manufacturing, while high-tech focuses on research and development, a place that integrates theoretical research and practical research."

After Xiao Zirong finished speaking, he scratched his head. These words have not been used in these years, and I don't know if Xiao Xuexing can understand them, but he can't seem to think of better words to explain them.

Xiao Xuexing nodded: "Like what you did when you were researching anti-inflammatory drugs in Taoyuan City?"

OK, he got it!

Xiao Zirong deeply felt that it was too worry-free to discuss things with Xiao Xuexing, even if the words he used were not found in this world and were too advanced, as long as he explained well, the other party could understand.

Xiao Zirong couldn't help but said: "Brother, you are so smart."

Xiao Xuexing laughed: "What is this? What about foreign trade?"

Xiao Zirong said: "The business district in the city is aimed at the people of the city, while the foreign trade is aimed at other places. I want Wangcheng to become a large-scale trade distribution and transfer station."

Okay, there are words that Xiao Xuexing doesn't understand, but he is not in a hurry, and waits patiently for Xiao Zirong to explain to him.

Xiao Zirong gestured and said: "Look, the place I chose has the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which can lead directly to Luoyang. The cities passing by along the way are relatively developed and suitable for transportation."

"Huh?" Xiao Xuexing raised his eyebrows: "You still want to send something to Luoyang? It seems that you..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Zirong immediately interrupted: "No, I don't have any ideas about Yuan Ke. I just don't want to be in trouble with money. I can't do anything about Yuan Ke now, but as long as I work hard, I can get rid of Yuan Ke." His money, Wei Guo's money is all earned, think about it, isn't it cool?"

Xiao Xuexing said casually: "Don't worry, sooner or later you will have a chance to take revenge, and then personally bring him in front of you and let you vent your anger."

Xiao Zirong was slightly taken aback when he heard this, he didn't expect Xiao Xuexing to remember this matter.

Strictly speaking, what happened before was due to his own brain twitching. Although Yuan Ke is indeed not a human being, it is impossible for ordinary people to make Xiao Zirong think of revenge.

Even Xiao Xuan just didn't mention a word, trying to let Xiao Zirong pretend that this kind of thing never happened.

Only Xiao Xuexing was still thinking about this matter, and Xiao Zirong didn't doubt his brother's execution ability at all.

He smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "It's not urgent, Yuan Ke is the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty after all."

Xiao Xuexing wanted to make him take revenge, and it was hard for him to say no to revenge, but this matter was really difficult.

Xiao Xuexing nodded and didn't say anything. He is not a person who likes to speak harshly. Usually when he speaks harshly, he already has the chance to win, and even if he achieves his goal, he won't talk nonsense.

Xiao Zirong changed the topic and continued in a low voice: "Actually, what I want is to restart the Maritime Silk Road and conduct trade with each other with Jinling as the center."
