With the arrival of the new year, Fang Nan and the People's Army are still busy.

After the efforts of the New Year, all other parts of the land of China, except for Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Shandong (Liaodong region), have been controlled by the People's Army.

Wherever the People's Army passed, most of the forces surrendered, and only a very small number of forces wanted to stop the People's Army and were easily defeated by the People's Army.

There are still bandits in many areas occupied by the People's Army. Because of the cold winter, the People's Army temporarily let them go. Now the weather has warmed up, and the People's Army will clean them up one by one.

Before the end of February (Gregorian calendar), the People's Army will occupy all areas of China except Liaodong, and before the end of spring, it will also include Liaodong in control.

After discussing with the senior leaders of the People's Army, Fang Nan initially determined that the founding of the country will be August 1st, and February is about to enter, and there is still half a year to prepare.

Minister Cheng Xinyuan, who is responsible for the founding of the country, will soon take some officials of the Ministry of Rites to Wuchang City, which will be renamed Zhongjing. In Wuchang City, Hu Zhuang has led some officials of the Ministry of War to command wars in various places.

In addition to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites, each department will gradually move to Wuchang City. Wuchang City is the geographical center of China. In today's era, communication is very inconvenient. Setting the capital in Wuchang City greatly facilitates the People's Army's control over various places.

With the arrival of the new year, the People's Army officially began to use the dual calendar, one solar calendar and the other lunar calendar. The lunar calendar is the traditional lunar calendar, and the solar calendar is the new calendar.

The People's Army was founded this year, and the country was called "Xia". This year was the first year of the Xia calendar. In addition, in order to facilitate the arrangement of historical dynasties, Fangnan also added a historical era. The historical era began with the founding of Xia, the first hereditary dynasty on the land of China, and this year was 3663.

The People's Army was the first to use the double calendar. After the People's Army was officially established, it would promote the double calendar so that the people would also start to use it. The traditional lunar calendar has not disappeared, and people should be more likely to accept the newly added solar calendar.

The news that the People's Army was about to move the capital to Wuchang City was not blocked, causing housing prices in Wuchang City to rise sharply. Many merchants who have done business in China decided to move to Wuchang City. Even if most of the businesses in Guangdong Province bought houses in Wuchang City, they may occasionally go to Wuchang City to live.

There are not many idle houses in Wuchang City. Most of them were originally owned by powerful, gentry and merchants of the old era. A few years ago, the People's Army came over, and the powerful, gentry and merchants fled and caught. These houses belong to the People's Army.

A small number of houses were arranged to live by officials of the People's Military Government, and a small number of houses were reserved for other purposes. Other houses could be sold. Just selling houses would make the People's Army a lot of money.

Fang Nan also ordered Han Jia, president of the Fang Chamber of Commerce, to purchase a batch of houses at normal prices, and wait for appreciation before taking action. This is a good opportunity to make money.

The new central government building has been completed in the new urban area of ​​Wuchang City. Hu Zhuang took some officials from the Ministry of War to work in the central government building.

In addition to the Central Government Building, other related buildings are also built in the new city area. Not far from the Central Government Building is Fang Nan's "Imperial Palace". This palace is far inferior to the imperial city of Beiping City.

The imperial city of Peking City began to be built in the fourth year of Yongle (1406) of Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty. It was built based on the original Jinling City Imperial City and was completed in the 18th year of Yongle (1420).

Imperial City is a rectangular city with a length of 961 meters from north to south and a width of 753 meters from east to west. It is surrounded by a 10-meter-high city wall on all sides, and a moat 52 meters wide outside the city.

The buildings in the city are divided into two parts: outer court and inner court. The center of the outer court is the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Zhonghe Hall and Baohe Hall, collectively known as the three main halls, which are the places where the ceremony is held.

The center of the inner court is the Ganqing Palace, Jiaotai Palace, and Kunning Palace, collectively known as the Hou San Palace, which is the main palace where the emperor and the empress live.

The entire imperial city covers an area of ​​720,000 square meters, with a construction area of ​​about 150,000 square meters, with more than 70 palaces of all sizes and sizes and more than 9,000 houses.

In order to build this imperial city, the Ming court used a lot of manpower and material resources to create the most magnificent building complex on the land of China. It would be enough to have such a building complex. Fang Nan did not want to be as luxurious as the Zhu family, and it would be enough to build a small palace.

Fang Nan's future residence plans cover a total area of ​​about 200,000 square meters, which looks like it covers a large area, but there are currently relatively few buildings. There are only two main buildings, four sub-districts, a total of six main buildings, all three on the three. The six buildings have three on the front, three on the back, and three on the back, three on the back, and three on the back, and three on the front, three on the back, and three on the front, three on the front, three on the front, three on the front, three on the front, three on the front, three on the front, and three on the banquet.

Fang Nan would work in the palace for a few days, and most of the time he would work in the central government building. In the future, as the country stabilizes, Fang Nan would gradually delegate power and only handle important matters to make himself more relaxed and not have to worry about being undermined.

In addition to the imperial palace, the central government building also has a complex of official residences in nearby areas. The style of the residence is mainly modern villas, focusing on convenience and comfort. The main buildings in the new urban area are connected to tap water, sewage pipes, and even flush toilets.

It is relatively easy to build a house, and it takes a long time to build a pipeline. Fortunately, the pipeline does not need to be compared with the gun barrel and the water pressure is not large. Under the leadership of the Ministry of Industry, the tap water pipes and sewage pipes were successfully built. The tap water was used to lift water into the water tower using a steam water extractor to supply it to all places.

If you want to build water pipes on a large scale, it will be impossible within at least three years, and you have to wait for the industry to develop.

As an urban area, it is naturally impossible to have only palaces, central government buildings, official residences and buildings, squares in the new urban area, and other buildings. Commercial buildings are mainly three-story, while ordinary residential houses are still one-story. The main problem is water and domestic sewage treatment. If the tap water pipes can be built on a large scale, the residential houses will also be mainly three-story.

Some ordinary residential houses are prepared for middle and lower-level officials in the government. Senior officials can be arranged to live in the mansion building complex. There are more middle and lower-level officials, but there is no way to arrange them all.

Although everyone is equal, the difference between status and status will always exist. People determine their status based on the amount of money, and government officials determine their status according to their ranks. More importantly, everyone is equal before the law.

Senior officials live in better mansions, while middle and lower-level officials can only live in ordinary houses with poorer ones. If middle and lower-level officials have money at home, they can also buy luxury houses as long as they are not illegal income.

With the arrival of the new year, some buildings in the new urban area will be sold to the public. Many people have seen the importance of the new urban area and are ready to buy houses in the new urban area with equal coins.

[Note: Buckingham Palace in the UK covers an area of ​​180,000 square meters, so the protagonist's palace is not large, and there are relatively few buildings]
