Ming Zuo

Chapter 522 Planning
The administrative committee rushed to Jinan.

Although this day has been known for a long time, everyone is still very eager.

Jinan is the center of the land of Qilu.

Occupying here can show that Shandong is under control.

However, everyone is not satisfied with the urban construction of Jinan.

too small.

Today's Jinan inner city is very crowded, with Daming Lake as the north of the city, the south of the city in the area of ​​the later Quancheng Square, the west is located on Baotu Spring North Road, and the east is only Heihuquan North Road.

Although the outer city was built outside the inner city later as the population increased, it was still very cramped.

"The Commander's Mansion is only used as a residence, or is it for both public and private purposes?"

When discussing the resettlement of various departments, Hou Xun first considered Zuo Menggeng.

Zuo Menggeng is the leader, no matter what he does, he must be the center.

Regarding the functions of the commander's office, Zuo Menggeng immediately made a decision.

"The Commander's Mansion is just my private residence, not for public use. The public Commander's Office will choose another location."

Seeing that he separated the public from the private, everyone agreed and some disagreed.

Li Banghua understood his intentions.

"If it's just a private residence, the area must be controlled within a certain range."

Why were the imperial palaces, royal palaces, and government offices in the Ming Dynasty so large?

Just because it's all public-private.

Those who live in it include all officials except the emperor, prince and officials.

Since Zuo Menggeng restricted the Commander's Mansion as a private residence, there is no need for a large population, so naturally it cannot be built too large.

"The land occupied by the Commander's Mansion, including the land donated by the Wang family, all the way to Wulongtan, is enough."

Zuo Menggeng personally delineated the area of ​​the Commander's Mansion, which surprised everyone.

They originally thought that Zuo Menggeng would wantonly enclose land, even including Daming Lake.

Frankly speaking, even if Zuo Menggeng did this, everyone didn't think it was too much.

Unexpectedly, Zuo Menggeng only wanted two areas of Baotu Spring and Wulongtan.

They didn't know that Zuo Menggeng really thought about turning Daming Lake into his private garden.But after thinking about it, I abandoned this thought.

Although there are many scenic spots in Jinan, Daming Lake is the only big lake.

If they are all occupied by him, the people of Jinan will not even have a place to play in the future.

Besides, the population of the Zuo family is simple, so building a mansion that is too big is a waste.And he is not a person who is greedy for enjoyment, it is enough to monopolize Baotu Spring and Wulongtan.

Seeing that Zuo Menggeng took the initiative to limit the area of ​​the commander's mansion, everyone didn't say anything on the surface, but they still admired it in their hearts.

Zuo Menggeng is definitely the most thrifty and self-sufficient leader they have ever seen.

Qu Shixu took the initiative and said: "The construction of Jinan City will start with the Commander's Mansion. It is estimated that there will be [-] taels of silver, which should be enough."

"Do not……"

Just when the others were about to agree, Zuo Menggeng interrupted.

"The Commander's Mansion is my private residence, and the cost of its construction is paid by me personally, not by public funds."

Huang Daozhou hurriedly said: "The government should bear the expenses of the leaders, which is what it should be."

Zuo Menggeng smiled.

"We are a new government, so it is naturally different from the past. I have a lot of property in my hands, and the profits are quite rich, so I have surplus money. It's just public funds, so let's use it for more important places."

This was decided by Zuo Menggeng early in the morning.

The Ming Dynasty was destroyed by finances.

The reason for the financial collapse, in addition to the reduction of tax revenue, is also a big part of the royal family's expenditure.

Many people explained that the consumption of the royal family came from internal funds and had nothing to do with the national finances. On the contrary, the emperor often used internal funds to subsidize the state.

But the problem is that these internal funds were also exploited by the royal family from the folk, and in the end the wool came from the sheep.

Zuo Menggeng intends to put an end to this situation.

Therefore, while vigorously developing industry and commerce, they have also been paying attention to opening up financial resources for themselves.

Tianzhi, Artistry, Seagull and other factories actually have his shares in them, and they benefit a lot every year.

It is used to build a house for yourself, and you can build it however you want, without dragging down the business.

He explained the situation clearly, and everyone said they were not moved, that was a lie.

If the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were as sensible as he is, why worry about the world becoming like this?

After the Commander's Office made an agreement, the next step was the placement of other functional departments.

The first one to pass the agenda was, without a doubt, the demolition of the city walls.

The inner city wall and outer city wall were all demolished.

"The demolition of the two city walls will free up a lot of land, and the congestion in the city will definitely be alleviated."

Zhang Zongheng fully agreed with the demolition of the city wall.

He arrived early and had inspected the inside and outside of the city, and he was very dissatisfied with the city wall.

Zuo Menggeng reminded him.

"It's not just the city walls. Taking advantage of the fact that the entire city is in ruins, we must make a century-old plan in advance. Since there are large tracts of blank land, then design it well."

Jinan, like Yidu, was completely destroyed by the rebels.Many mansions and land have become ownerless and will naturally be taken back by the government.

In this way, although the city still looks very crowded, it is actually enough for Zhang Zongheng to display it.

"The area from Qianfo Mountain to Lashan Mountain is reserved for the military. At that time, the command department, staff department, training department, intelligence department, logistics department, etc. will all be moved here."

Zuo Menggeng has no idea how to build the city, but he already has a plan for the military land.

He placed all the army centers in the southwest of Jinan City, relying on the mountains to form multiple valleys, with limited access, which is very convenient for defense.

Moreover, this area is close to the mountains, sparsely populated, and the land is barren, so it will not seize good land.

Of course, the Executive Committee has no objection to this arrangement.

They agreed, and the construction cost of the new army center could be approved smoothly.

Once the Commander's Mansion and the military land are determined, the rest will be easy to handle.

"The provincial government can arrange it here."

Hou Xun acted quickly and chose the address of the provincial government to the east of the Commander's Mansion and the south bank of Daming Lake.

Although Zuo Menggeng said that he doesn't care about administration, it is clear that he is still needed for many political affairs.Therefore, the provincial government is closer to the Commander's Mansion, so it is easier to communicate.

This approach is the same in any era.

The mastermind of a country must be centralized.

Seeing that Hou Xun had delineated the place, Zuo Menggeng simply said: "Then the **** will be next to the provincial government, so it's better to be on the south side."

In this way, the Communist Party controlled by Zuo Menggeng, the highest authority of the regime, is also next to the commander's office, which can be regarded as convenient for his office needs.

Zhang Zongheng smiled and said, "I don't want you all to get together. Our Jinan City Government should put it in Dongwai City."

The crowd laughed.

As the saying goes, three lives of misfortune, magistrate attached to the country; three lives of evil, attached to the provincial capital of Guo;

As an administrative agency of the provincial government, Zhang Zongheng didn't want his mother-in-law to oppress him.If you simply pull the city government far away, you can still have some autonomy.

This kind of thinking can't be hidden from people, and no one cares.

As the sites for the Commander's Mansion, the Provincial Government, and the Legislative Council were finalized, the rest of the administrative departments began to enclose land around these three parties.

When everything was finally agreed upon, Zuo Menggeng suddenly discovered that his Commander's Mansion was actually surrounded.

Front, back, left, and right are full of government departments.

Invisibly, a circle of peripheral defense was formed.

Obviously, although there is no wall in this area, there must be nowhere for irrelevant personnel to appear here.
