Global Cataclysm: I became a world tree

Chapter 183 The Second Expansion of Yang City
At this time, the largest conference room in Yangcheng City was brightly lit.

The high-level military and the leaders of the municipal departments sat on both sides, discussing intensely and expressing their own points of view.

Of course, most of the people who spoke were the leaders of the municipal departments.

Under their deliberations, solutions to various livelihood problems that have arisen in society in the past few days have been quickly found, and then recorded for subsequent implementation one by one.

Sitting on the side, Bai Yinghui couldn't help yawning. To be honest, he really didn't want to come to this kind of meeting if it wasn't for the part that the military needs to participate in later.

Finally, when Bai Yinghui was getting impatient after sitting for a full hour, Cao Guangzhi, the secretary-general, finally closed the notebook in his hand and said to Liu Zaoxin.

"Mayor, that's all the livelihood issues that have arisen during this period of time."

Liu Zaoxin nodded, he stood up and said, "Okay, then we can enter the second stage and discuss the issue of subsequent expansion."

"I can tell you clearly that just this morning, the red-headed document has come down. The country has reassessed the strategic significance, strategic positioning, and future potential of our Yangcheng City, and will further strengthen it. Great support."

"In terms of construction funds, an additional 300 billion Huaxia coins will be added, and the money will be credited to the account within the next week. At the same time, there will be a construction team of 5 people drawn from all over the country."

"It can be said that in the next period of time, we will not be short of money or people, but our task is still arduous, because according to the latest instructions, our Yangcheng City needs to be further expanded to accommodate a population of 2000 million. standard."

Although many people have heard some news more or less before, but when the news is confirmed at this time, they are still excited.

This means that their Yangcheng City, the upper limit in the future is not a first-tier city, but may become a super first-tier city.

However, there are many and difficult problems. The increase in population is not just about numbers, but also brings about a series of livelihood problems.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to hold such a long meeting to discuss these issues, and what can be discussed here are basically things that cannot be handled by the grassroots.

Of course, compared to the problem of living, the things they discussed before are trivial matters.

According to the original plan, Yang City can only accommodate 1000 million people. Even if there was a surplus when it was originally designed, an extra population of 200 million is the limit.

Now that the number of people has doubled, it is definitely impossible to fit in.

Therefore, another expansion is inevitable.

However, what is the current environment? It doesn't mean that you can build a house in a random place. All these require the assistance of the military.

Therefore, Liu Zaoxin turned his attention to Bai Yinghui, "Mr. Bai, do you have any opinions on which direction we should expand?"

Seeing that it was finally time to talk about business, Bai Yinghui let out a long breath in his heart. He straightened the microphone in front of him, looked around and said, "We have already discussed this matter within the military."

As he spoke, someone turned on the projector.

Soon a huge map appeared on the curtain behind him. He held a laser pointer and said, "If we expand to the south, we will encounter obstacles from the Dongjiang River. Bridges need to be built, and in terms of the population of our city, building one or two bridges may not be enough, and the manpower and time consumption will be too great, so we will not consider it for the time being.”

He said, and the laser pointer turned in one direction, "And most of our east side is wetland. Building houses on it is not only difficult, but also risky."

"So, west or north, it doesn't matter."

Hearing what Bai Yinghui said, many municipal leaders frowned slightly.

It is understandable for them to expand to the west, but if it is to expand to the north, it will be blocked by the Dongling Mountains!
Liu Zaoxin even asked directly: "Isn't there the Dongling Mountains in the north? How can we expand?"

Bai Yinghui smiled and said, "In fact, I would suggest expanding the city to the north rather than to the west."

"In the future, the size of the city will almost double. Needless to say, the city walls will require massive amounts of building materials, especially sand and gravel."

"And now, with the progress of urban mergers, it is estimated that there will be a wave of construction all over the country in the next period of time. At that time, construction materials will be really hard to buy even if you have money."

"If we expand directly to the north, then these materials can be obtained locally, and the entire mountain range can be directly dug and leveled."

Now it is not ancient times. It takes several generations for the Foolish Old Man to move mountains.

But now, as long as there are enough excavators, this time can be shortened infinitely.

Everyone nodded after listening to a lot. If the expansion is in the direction of the Dongling Mountains, it is estimated that the construction progress can be increased by at least 30% based on local materials.

But the problem is not without, but very big.

"What about the security issue? How to solve it?" Liu Zaoxin asked.

Bai Yinghui smiled and said, "Everyone thinks that the Dongling Mountains are dangerous, but it's not."

"It may have been dangerous in the past, but now it is almost the territory of the Dragon King Hall. It is estimated that stronger mutated animals will be subdued by them, so what we have to deal with are weaker mutated animals and those mutated insects."

"When the city wall is built, these problems will naturally be solved. Even our training recruits can be directly pulled over for actual combat. It is estimated that the training efficiency can be increased by more than half."

"As for the safety issues that arise during the construction process, my consideration is to discuss with the Dragon King Palace and let them protect our safety."

After hearing this, everyone was speechless for a while, and their feelings were still the old way: call for reinforcements.

Liu Zaoxin looked at Bai Yinghui, and couldn't help asking: "The number of soldiers in our Yangcheng City has exceeded 5. Is there no way to solve it independently?"

"It is possible, but the casualties will not be less. Even if we can really do it easily, I don't recommend it."

Bai Yinghui said, looked around the crowd and continued: "This is a matter of attitude. Think about it, we cooperated with the Dragon King Hall in everything before, and now we have left the other party to do it alone as soon as the crisis is over. Then the Dragon King Hall What would you think?"

"We'd better not let the other party have any misunderstandings, and even need to take the initiative to send the 'handle' over, so as to better maintain this relationship."

"Is this... necessary?" Liu Zaoxin asked.

"Of course there are." Bai Yinghui said quite confidently, "Because we have already grasped the opponent's biggest handle without knowing it."

"Unless we want to take the initiative to start a war, at this time, we must not make any actions that cause misunderstandings, otherwise it is estimated that it will only be a matter of minutes from an ally to an enemy."

Everyone in the venue was a little stunned when they heard this, and so was Liu Zaoxin, but he quickly realized, "You mean, 131 billion Huaxia coins have been added to the Dragon King's account?"

"That's right!" Bai Yinghui nodded directly, "If we hadn't been the matchmaker in the middle, the money in its account would really be just a series of numbers."

"In the past, if the money was low, the Dragon King might not have felt anything, but now that the other party has been busy for several days and has saved such a large sum of money, he must be a little wary."

"I even dare to assert that if we do something a little out of line during this process. For example, find a reason to stop the other party from buying mutated animals, it is estimated that we will turn against each other directly."

"When the time comes, the Dragon King makes another move. If you use that magical power, how many of us here will be turned into ice sculptures?"

Bai Yinghui scanned the officials present and said in a cold tone.

He said these words in order to deliberately pierce the window paper, in order to worry that some people would be stupid, do something they shouldn't do, and drag the whole Yangcheng city into trouble.

At this time, Liu Zaoxin also came to his senses, nodded immediately and said: "Mayor Bai is right, the more we should strengthen our cooperation with the Dragon King Hall at this time, to prevent any possibility of a crisis of trust."

The rest of the people nodded after hearing this. At this time, a staff member quickly walked in from the outside and whispered something in Liu Zaoxin's ear.

A look of surprise appeared on Liu Zaoxin's face, "I'd like to tell you something. The parrot messenger just arrived and said he wanted to discuss matters in the restricted area with us. That's just right. Let's invite the other party to come over and finalize these matters together. Bar!"
-
The number of words today is a little less, I hope you will forgive me, I can only recover slowly.
