Chapter 163 County Town Planning
After dinner, Ouyang Shuo returned to his room and logged into the game.
During the game, Ouyang Shuo walked out of the room and looked at the slightly deserted yard, which made him feel a little uncomfortable. Usually, at this time, Yingyou and Qing'er also got up one after another and began to wash in the yard corridor.
Now, in the huge yard, Ouyang Shuo is the only one except the servants.
After shook off the emotions in his mind, Ouyang Shuo picked up the iron spear from the weapon stand and began to practice the Yang family spear that could not be struck. After this period of hard practice, his Yang family spear was finally officially introductory.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, Ouyang Shuo appeared in his office on time.
Ouyang Shuo picked up the drawings on the table and began to look through them. This was the first draft of the overall plan of Shanhai County that the Construction Department sent yesterday. The main agent was Hao Jiancheng, assistant director of the Construction Department.
According to the planning of the Construction Department, the second city wall is six kilometers long, twelve meters high and six meters wide.
Unlike the first city wall, the second city wall has only three sides. In other words, the south side of the second city wall is no longer built, but the east and west walls are directly built to the roots of the southern mountain range, connecting them with the mountains. In other words, the rocky mountain range is the fourth city wall.
Because there are only three walls, although the second wall is much taller than the first wall, in terms of project volume, it is more than twice the first wall. With the current population base of Shanhai County, the Construction Department is confident that it will complete the construction of the second wall within one month.
After the second city wall was built, it covers an area of 36 square kilometers, four times the area of the old city, which is equivalent to the creation of three Shanhai Towns.
At the same time, the moat built before will be transformed into an inner city river, providing sufficient water for the residents in the city.
During Shanhai Town, residents' drinking water was mainly solved by digging wells. Later, in addition to drinking water, domestic water and workshop water could all go to the inner city river to get water, which was very convenient.
The second part of the county town planning is the re-division of urban areas.
According to the planning of the Construction Department, Shanhai County is divided into four urban areas. The area within the first city wall is called the core area. The city wall extends to the north of the first city wall, and the area north of the north city wall is called the North City District. The North City District is also the largest area among the four districts, which is twice the area of Shanhai Town.
The east and west sides of the core area are Xicheng District and Dongcheng District respectively. These two urban areas cover the smallest area, only half of the area of Shanhai Town.
The third part of the county town planning, and the most core part, is the functional positioning of each urban area.
The core area is bounded by north and south and divided into upper and lower half areas. The southern half area will be the brain of the territory, similar to the ancient imperial palace. According to the planning of the Construction Department, the southern half area is divided into three parts: left, middle and right.
Needless to say, the central part is the upgraded lord's mansion and the garden behind the lord's mansion. The left part is the future official office area, and the yamen of each department will be concentrated in this area.
On the right side, it is now a cultural and religious district. Huangdi Temple, Mazu Temple, City God Temple, Recruitment Hall, Private School and Lianzhou College are all concentrated in this district. Because the core area will no longer be allowed to live in the people, Mazu Temple and City God Temple, two temples that need to enjoy the incense of the people at all times, will be moved from the core area to the north area.
Similarly, private schools will also be moved out of the core area. As for the Zhaoxian Pavilion and Lianzhou College, they will be moved to the northern half of the core area. That is to say, the right part of the southern half area will only retain one building, the Huangdi Temple. The Huangdi Temple will be the future ancestral temple, and only lords are allowed to sacrifice.
The northern half of the core area is divided into two parts with the central axis as the boundary. The left part will be the college area, where the previous recruitment hall and Lianzhou College are located. In the future, other colleges in the territory will also be built in this area. As for the advanced market, which was originally located in the left part of the northern half area, it will be moved to the west side of the square, facing the teleportation array one east and one west, and two sides.
The right part of the northern half of the area is now a military area. According to the plan, the right part will only retain two buildings, the Military Affairs Office and the Military Barracks. As for the Jiafangsi Workshop, the Bow and Crossbowsi Workshop, the weapons workshop and the alchemy workshop, all will be moved out of the core area and moved to the East District for resettlement.
With the rapid development of the military industry, the military zone can no longer accommodate these workshops. Therefore, it is very appropriate to place the four major workshops in the East District.
As for the western area, it is the planned official residence area. Officials at all levels and their relatives will be placed in the official residence area. The official residence area is next to the official office area in the core area, which facilitates officials Yingmao and Fangya, which is now commonly known as commuting and getting off work. The future official residence area will inevitably evolve into a powerful area.
Finally, it is the North District, which covers the largest area. The North District is divided into two areas with the central axis as the boundary. Each area is equivalent to the area of a Shanhai Town. The commercial street, which was originally located on the central axis of the core area, will be relocated to the central axis of the North District, and the scale has been doubled.
The western half of the area is a residential area. In addition, the three buildings, Chenghuang Temple, Mazu Temple and private school, will also be moved to residential areas. Considering that the western area will be the hardest hit area in the crime, the yard of the joint office of the Public Security Department and the Criminal Department will also be moved to residential areas to maintain territorial security nearby.
The residential areas in the future will inevitably evolve into middle class or even wealthy gathering areas. Because a large part of the people living here are workshop owners or shopkeepers of major shops. They are the earliest group of residents, and they develop together with the territory and accumulate more and more personal wealth. It is difficult for latecomers to surpass them.
The eastern half of the area is the commercial area. All major handicraft workshops will be moved here. According to the principle of nearby management, Sihai Bank, Commercial Department and Taxation Department will all be moved here. Compared with the current commercial area, the planned commercial area has expanded by four times, which is enough for major workshops to expand their business scale.
After reading the county town planning of the Construction Department, Ouyang Shuo couldn't help but exclaim. Hao Jiancheng, a young man, not only fully understood his intentions, but also did it bolder and more thoroughly.
According to this county town plan, the territory will not need to be re-adjusted for a long time in the future. Just fill the corresponding area bit by bit according to the existing plan.
Just when Ouyang Shuo was so excited about the construction department's plan, the secretary Bai Nanpu walked in and said, "Sir, Director Xu is asking for a meeting outside the door."
Ouyang Shuo was stunned and said quickly: "Please come in."
"Here!"
Xu Shuda rarely goes to Ouyang Shuo’s office. This director of culture and education, the chief of cultural and educational science, led the governance of Lianzhou College in an orderly manner. Therefore, Ouyang Shuo rarely interferes in the work of the Cultural and Education Department.
"Sir!" After Xu Shuda came in, he bowed to Ouyang Shuo.
Ouyang Shuo smiled and nodded, signaling with his hands, "Shuda, sit down!"
"Sir, I have a request, please forgive me." Xu Shuda straightforwardly.
"Speaking!"
"My subordinates request to remove the chair in the conference hall." Xu Shuda said solemnly. Obviously, this matter is very important to him.
Ouyang Shuo was stunned again, which was strange, and asked quietly: "Why?"
"As the territorial level and the improvement of your title, you must always maintain the majesty of the lord. If you are like before, everyone will sit on a chair to discuss matters, regardless of the magnanimity, violate the etiquette system, and are incompatible with etiquette."
Ouyang Shuo frowned, "Shuda, what do you mean is to let everyone stand?"
Xu Shuda shook his head and said, "If you are a slander and do not want your ministers to stand up and suffer, you can follow the antique system and arrange a short table in the conference hall, and everyone sits on the ground."
Ouyang Shuo was relieved.
Li occupies an important position in ancient society. Among the six ministries, the Li occupies one of them, which shows that it is the basis of Confucian "virtue governance" and the basis of feudal rulers.
Confucianism attaches extreme importance to the role of etiquette in regulating people's behavior and puts forward the slogan of "rule of etiquette". Confucianism believes that if everyone abides by behavioral norms that conform to their status, they will "etiquette be clear and divided", achieving the purpose of "the king, the minister, the minister, the father, the son, the son" as Confucius said. On the contrary, if the etiquette is abandoned and not used, "if the etiquette is not done, the upper and lower levels will be confused."
In order not to easily break this situation, Confucianism advocates a "people are content with each other" behavioral code: for rulers, etiquette requires the king to follow the ancients, govern the country and handle family affairs like Yao, Shun and Yu, from virtue to food and clothing, there is a set of established procedures; for ordinary people, there are even countless etiquette numbers: crown rituals, silences, guest rituals, funerals, etc., and each must be strictly followed by etiquette. Confucianism achieves its education through such a comprehensive social norm system.
As a player territory, of course, it is impossible to completely copy this etiquette system. Not to mention anything else, just take Yingyou as an example. If she acts according to the Confucian style, she will not be allowed to go to the front of the stage at all.
The system of Shanhai County was designed by Ouyang Shuo. Many places have borrowed from modern knowledge systems and seemed out of place with feudal society, so it is even more impossible to copy the Confucian style.
However, it is undeniable that etiquette can indeed play an active role in maintaining the rule of the lord and maintaining territorial stability. The key is how to remove the dross of Confucian etiquette and take its essence.
Shanhai County did not set up a special agency to regulate and guide the behavioral etiquette of all classes in the territory.
At this time, the Department of Culture and Education, or Xu Shuda, was able to take the initiative to stand up and correct the unethical aspects. What is more important is that it is undoubtedly very gratifying to be able to make flexible adjustments based on Ouyang Shuo's values.
Ouyang Shuo looked at Xu Shuda with a smile and said, "Shuda, your proposal is very good, I have approved it. The arrangement of the conference hall will be left to the Culture and Education Department for responsibility. I will instruct the Material Reserve Office to cooperate with you."
