In May of the 11th year of Wanli, the garrison of the Dongyang Military Office in Mexico City.

On the right side of Mocheng West Street, not far from the Armed Square, there are carriages full of cargoes.

The horse is a mixed-blood tall horse, and the car is a four-wheeled heavy trailer. The carriages are printed with the four-character logo of the Dongyang Military Mansion. The underside of the logo is a small iron plate with a standard load horse and a load weight.

Their carriages were nailed to the rear of the carriage, and the iron plates marked indicate that some of these uniformly manufactured standard carriages were baggage military vehicles under Changshengwei, while others were civilian trucks under Changsheng County.

The round sign of the character "Zheng" hanging around the horse's neck shows that they appeared here at this moment and were very successful in military affairs, but were requisitioned.

The driver is driving along the tracks on the stone road. Every time he passes through a street intersection, the driver is careful to slow down the horses, drive out slowly uphill three feet in the track, and then turn to other slow downhill tracks that are wide to narrow.

The entire city is under construction, and the air is covered with a thick layer of smoke and dust in the hot weather. The Eastern Military Palace reshaped Mexico.

In the past, Mexico was the center of the Governor of New Spain. It perfectly inherited everything from the Renaissance Spanish city after the colonists razed the old city to the ground for decades.

Its city center has a prosperous Armed Square Market, no less than the magnificent Governor's Mansion, which is as magnificent as a royal palace in Europe, and the wonder-level cathedral that seems to never be built.

There are also countless Spanish officials and merchants, all of whom are rich and have built manor-style residences that gather the peak of European architecture.

At the same time, there are also crowded streets as dark and cramped as Madrid. Both the lower-class people of Spain and the Aztec residents can only cooperate with hunger, death, and poverty. People eclipse all day long and do not cover up their bodies. The thin faces on the street are grey and thin, hungry and fierce gazes in the shadows, and prostitutes groaning in the corners and endless patients.

Cut everything effortlessly into several cold and cold worlds that are tightly nestled and clearly divided.

No one of the immigrants from the Ming Dynasty likes the feeling of this city.

Or no one would like any town in Asia that was influenced by Spanish colonization.

The Dongyang Military Palace has always wanted to rebuild the town to a certain extent, but it has no idea how to start.

There are too many people in the city. If you want to re-plan, there are two biggest difficulties: one is to occupy the best locations in each street in the city to limit the size of the town, and the other is to serve a large number of poor people who serve the upper class.

The former is mostly Spanish who have a good relationship with the military government. It is not difficult to drive them away and flatten the mansion, but it will inevitably affect the latter and will also shatter the illusion of co-governance in the New Spain Governor's District.

The latter is too large and it is difficult to install in a short period of time.

The opportunity was the gunfire on the Colombian border last year. The Ming Dynasty once again broke out in local war with the Spanish Governor General of Peru. The change in the situation made the Spanish nobles living in Mexico feel dangerous and voluntarily withdraw from Mexico City.

Governor Yang Tingxiang has been waiting for this opportunity.

For him, it was the best result for others to take the initiative to leave. In the end, a few people were left, and he also asked him to reclaim the land on the grounds of lending them a safer environment, and moved them collectively to Xirenfang in Daxigang, paving the way for the renovation of the old city.

Then there was a real road construction. The lack of the planter made the governor have a large area of ​​idle land in his hands, and made the poor in the city truly become unemployed vagrants.

By conscience, since Yang Tingxiang took office as the governor of the Spanish Governor, the living conditions of the indigenous people in the city have been significantly improved, at least under the law, their labor has been paid.

Although it is pitifully small, it is easy to be deducted by the employer.

But from nothing to something is a huge progress.

This time, Yang Tingxiang once again distributed a large amount of land to immigrants from the Ming Dynasty in the form of a contract with Changsheng, and forced them to hire a certain number of indigenous people in the city to take away the land. The problem of land and a large number of unemployed people was solved.

After that, Chen Mu led his troops back, and Mexico City ushered in a new era of large-scale construction.

They planned to widen the eight main roads around the square, repair the long bridge over the lake that runs through the east and west, add two-way carriage tracks on the basis of the stone roads, and lay earthen roads on both sides of the tracks, and regulate the use of laws and regulations on the use of vehicles in the city.

Thanks to the cathedral built by the Spanish in Mexico City, they did not even need to dig the paving stones to the mountains on the east and west sides of the town.

It was just that the cathedral was converted into a gravel field, and a set of human equipment was transported from Changsheng to cut stones, and soon there was a continuous stream of stone slabs to pave the road.

Seeing that the stone was used up, he directly put up a stent and suspended arm to remove the roof. The more Chen Mu looked at the church, the more he liked him.

Don’t mention how much he likes the habit of Spanish people building endless cathedrals.

While demolishing the church here, he sent Chen Ju to Rome to encourage the high priest to continue to take off happily on the road to great construction. At this point, Dongyang Chen Mu once again schizophrenia.

The result of the efforts is also obvious. Now the east and west roads have wooden tracks and roads, which are specially designed to supply Changsheng's newly built double horse carts to travel in the city. There are parking stations along the way, and the sidewalks, horse roads and roadways are separated by low wooden rails to make the streets orderly.

As for the construction of neighbors inside the main road, generals at all levels of the Dongyang Military Office decided to plan the size, location, house regulations and the construction design of the official yamen were all handed over to the Department of Architecture of the Royal College to complete after discussion.

At the same time, applications for purchases of homesteads and construction companies in Mexico City are opened, and they are allowed to recruit craftsmen to undertake the construction of houses of immigrants in the city, and legal restrictions are imposed on all construction companies.

After these work is completed, the Mexican city will be further expanded. According to the Spanish's main plan in the past, it will be distributed in a circular town. The ring road is divided into eight inner yards, eight outer yards, sixteen squares and sixteen streets, and a large city with a capacity of 60,000 people will be built.

In the past, when Mexico City was still the capital of the Aztecs, it accommodated 200,000 people, but the living standards of those 200,000 people were very different, and the management of towns was also relatively extensive.

By the Spanish era, there were 100,000 people living here, but the living standards of the vast majority of people have decreased and not increased.

The Mexico City, which Chen Mu is about to renovate, is a military city with great significance to him, which is ideally located in the Ming Dynasty, and is suitable for living in Asia, with prosperous commercial markets, industrial processing, transportation hubs, ruling centers, and great significance to him.

This will be a gift he gave to the next Minister of the East and will also become a model for the construction and management of the Ming Dynasty, and evidence that even this city alone can be left in history hundreds of years.
