Chapter 113 Shangjing City Development and Construction Plan
Along the way, Wang Wentong and others chatted with the Huihui caravan quite well. Although there were cultural gaps, some words were not expressed accurately. But they could understand them overall, and from their conversations, they could also understand the Ulutus department's support and revitalization policies for business.
For example, in addition to rent-free and interest-free, there are also shop pre-sale plans, block contracting plans, as well as key industries support and reward plans. Among them, shop pre-sale plans refer to the sale of commercial shops that are about to be built in advance. Although what you see at the moment is likely to be ruins, you can imagine what it looks like after completion.
Even if you don’t know how to imagine it, it doesn’t matter! The new government in Shangjing City has arranged for painters to draw the plans of each block into pictures and post them in conspicuous places in various areas. Just take a glance and you can see the grand scenery after completion.
For safety and speed considerations, Ulutus had certain requirements for the materials used in Shangjing. In addition, ancient buildings were mostly civil and industrial, and whether it was fire protection, construction speed, or even stability, they were not as good as cement buildings in later generations.
Therefore, he asked the engineering team to use cement as construction raw materials and also made requirements for the floors, generally two to five floors, so that they can accommodate more people in limited space.
After all, in Ulutus's vision, Shangjing City will be the administrative center of Ulutus's tribe for a certain period of time. It is a certain distance from Mongolia and the Central Plains, which can show the Mongolian Khanate the tendency to unintentionally the Central Plains to a certain extent. On the other hand, this place was the capital of the Jin Dynasty and had a certain agricultural foundation.
There are obvious benefits for developing the vast Northeast Plain. He did not want to learn from the Jurchens in later generations and put in any policy of prohibiting immigration in the Northeast. As a result, the huge black soil in the Northeast was almost occupied by the Russians.
If you can make the people in the Northeast become almost the same as those in the Central Plains during your lifetime, then you don’t have to worry about being dyed white by the Russians in future generations. More importantly, Ulutus has another prayer that cannot be said.
That is, it will occupy all the land in the northeast, and there will be no few tribes such as the Jurchens or Khitans in the future. Even if the Ming Dynasty falls, there will be no Jurchens entering the pass, resulting in shaving their hair and changing clothes. The Han people's country, even if the dynasty changes, will still be Han people.
Therefore, vigorously developing the capital and vigorously encouraging the people of the Central Plains to immigrate to the Northeast will be an important national policy for the Ulutus tribe in the future.
The prerequisite for this step is to make the capital prosperous first.
Sometimes spontaneous immigration is much more effective than the immigration organized by the official organization. Moreover, spontaneous immigration will indirectly encourage more people to respond to official policies and vigorously immigrate to the Northeast.
As for the block contracting plan, it is to contract different blocks to different large merchants or construction siege teams. After all, Shangjing City is very big. If only the newly established Shangjing Construction Shop is allowed to contract all the construction projects in Shangjing City, it will not only take a long time, but will not be conducive to the healthy development of Shangjing Construction Shop.
After all, this is a newly established construction workshop, and the various internal operating mechanisms are not perfect. It is given a construction task far beyond its limit, which may make it so full that it will swell to death.
Therefore, Ulutus only allowed Shangjing Construction Workshop to undertake major construction projects. For example, the high-end residential areas of the inner city officials, the high-end areas where merchants live, the college area where key schools are located, the workshop area where key workshops are located, the renovation of the palace of Shangjing Imperial City, the heightening and maintenance of the city gate wall, the heightening and repair of the city gate wall, and the demolition of a small number of unreasonable city walls.
In addition to these main buildings, other insignificant houses can be contracted to private builders. Whether they are Han or Hui, Khitan or Goryeo, Ulutus is not divided into race, and as long as they have the ability, they can be contracted to them.
This will not only speed up the construction of the capital, but also take the opportunity to incubate a group of private workshops belonging to the Ulutus tribe. It will also have a certain promoting effect on promoting the economic development of the Ulutus tribe's controlled area, as well as the integration of the Mongolian government and the indigenous people in the Northeast.
The last key industry support and reward plan, as the name suggests, is to provide key support for industries that the Ulutus tribe does not have or are short of. If there are people, there are as many prisoners of war in the Ulutus tribe as there are, and as the scale of the war expands, the population will definitely not be small. If there is really a shortage of people, you can definitely use the means of the government to make up people for them.
It doesn't matter if you lack money! The Mongolian Bank of Ulutus's Ministry can make loans to it. Of course, the premise here is to have enough skills or excellent commercial goods, otherwise, the gate of the Mongolian Bank will not be able to enter.
After hearing the introduction, Wang Wentong couldn't help but feel excited. If he hadn't been called, he would have planned to participate in this business plan that the government came forward and supported, and fortunately, he would earn enough benefits in the future development of Shangjing City.
As we chatted like this, the public carriage came to the inner city. Compared with the gates of the outer city, the gates of the inner city are taller. And from the appearance, there is no gap between bricks and stones. It seems that the entire wall is integrated with Hunyuan, which makes Wang Wentong curious about the material of the city.
"This is the cement creation mentioned before!" Zhang Heng is the secret guard commander of Shangjing City. He is far more informed about the news in the city than ordinary people.
Before Wang Wentong could react, the Hui merchants were already amazed. After getting off the car, the braver merchants saw that the guards guarding both sides looked like wooden stakes, neither checking or having any intention of blocking them, so they approached the wall and punched them with a fist.
Then the merchant immediately frowned in pain, and his fists quickly became red and swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Wang Wentong suddenly sighed in his heart that the other party was such a good person. He used his actions to satisfy the curiosity of these curious people.
The two guards seemed to have seen such a scene, with a little disdain on their faces, but they still stayed in place with little blinking their eyes.
Zhang Heng smiled and introduced: "The cement is as solid as stone. Like this brother's actions, no less than a hundred enthusiastic people have tried it since the day of its completion."
So with a bit of embarrassing and unspeakable smiles, the two groups of people came separately. The Hui merchants wanted to go to the investment reception desk set up in the inner city, while Wang Wentong and others wanted to follow the inner city to enter the imperial city.
Compared with the outer city, the same thing is that no entry fee is required. This is the same in Eastern Mongolia under the rule of Ulutus tribe. Without this income, the price of commercial goods in the city has also dropped a lot.
And there are few checkpoints along the way, so it can be said that the promotion of commerce has been truly implemented.
In different places, there are few ruins in the inner city. Especially on both sides of the street, there are repaired houses, which look a bit new. In addition, there are a small number of cement buildings, most of which are above three floors, and they look taller than those repaired wooden buildings.
