Of course, Ouyang Shuo didn't know that what was really an ordinary gift in his eyes had caused so much discussion among the three Song brothers and sisters, this was the gap in strength.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Ouyang Shuo took the three directors to inspect the city wall. After a month of construction, the main project of the city wall has been completed, and the rest is the construction of ancillary facilities such as the castle tower, arrow tower, corner tower and suspension bridge. The stone walls, which are nine meters high and five meters wide, look magnificent and give people a sense of security.

Climb the city wall in the north, look into the distance, as far as the eye can see, whether it is the plain, or the mountains and rivers, it is the land that belongs to Shanhai Town, Ouyang Shuo's mind is open-minded, ambitious and proud, nothing is like this.

"Okay, the Construction Department supervised the construction of the city wall this time, and it did a good job, so it should be rewarded." Ouyang Shuo turned his head to look at Cui Yingyu, "The Finance Department has drawn up a reward standard and submitted it to me for approval." ”

Yingyu nodded in response, and Zhao Dewang on the side said excitedly: "Being recognized by adults is the greatest reward for the construction department, and subordinates don't dare to ask too much." ”

Ouyang Shuo waved his hand, "Eh, you will be rewarded, Director Zhao doesn't have to refuse." This wall will become the strongest line of defense for Gongwei Shanhai Town, and with it, the military will be able to launch a spring offensive with more confidence. The construction department should speed up the construction of ancillary facilities to ensure that the city wall forms a complete defense system as soon as possible. ”

"The construction department guarantees that within a week, all ancillary facilities will be completed." Zhao Dewang patted his chest and said.

Compared to the city walls, the excavation of the moat is relatively slow, and even with additional manpower, it will take at least two weeks to complete.

After the city wall was built, Ouyang Shuo planned to make a big adjustment to the planning of the territory in the next step. When he returned to the lord's house, he asked the porter to call the owner of the brick kiln, and said that he had something to order.

The kiln owner, Tao Wang, was a thirty-two-year-old brick burner, dark-skinned, honest and loyal. Hearing the summons of the adults, he hurried over from the brick kiln outside the town.

After Tao Wang arrived, Ouyang Shuo called the three directors, Zhao Dewang, Hao Jiancheng and Zhou Haichen, to the office together. Hao Jiancheng was promoted to assistant director of the construction department because of his excellent assessment years ago, and this was the first time he was summoned by Ouyang Shuo, and the young man seemed a little excited.

"Master Tao, let's give an introduction to the situation of the brick kiln first!" Ouyang Shuo took the lead and said.

Tao Wang stood up stiffly and said respectfully: "Back to adults, there are 120 workers in the brick kiln, 4,000 units of green bricks, and 120 units of green bricks can be produced every day, with an average of 1 unit of green bricks per person per day. ”

Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "I have a plan that I want to discuss with everyone here." The current architectural pattern of the territory is generally based on the planning of third-level villages. After the baptism of time, the original advanced planning has now been unable to keep up with the pace of territorial development. In urban planning, we should not take one step at a time, but take one step at a time, look at two steps, or even look at three steps. ”

Hao Jiancheng nodded, as the planning director of the Construction Department, he was deeply touched by this.

"Our current city wall was built according to the standards of a third-class township. So does it mean that in the future, the third-level county town, the third-level county town and the final capital will have to add another city wall? Apparently not. There are too many city walls, which is not conducive to the integrated development of the city. Therefore, from now on, when we discuss urban planning, we must examine and judge from the perspective of the metropolis. ”

"The future capital covers an area of 100 square kilometers and is designed with three walls. The first wall, three kilometers long, is the stone wall that we have now built, which will serve as the royal palace wall in the future. The second wall, with a side length of six kilometers, will begin construction in the county stage and will serve as an inner city wall in the future. The construction of the last wall, ten kilometers on each side, will begin at the county stage, the outer walls of the capital. ”

This was the first time that Ouyang Shuo had disclosed his future capital plan to the officials of the territory, revealing his ambition to dominate. All of you, especially the three directors, were thrilled to hear this.

"Returning to our theme this time, that is, to use the completion of the city wall as an opportunity to adjust the territorial planning of the township stage. The adjustment here contains two meanings, one is the adjustment of the building layout, and the other is the adjustment of building materials. First of all, the building materials, the current territorial buildings are basically wood and stone buildings, mainly wood, the fire performance is very poor, and the building safety level is low. Therefore, we want to take the opportunity of this major planning to replace all these wood and stone buildings with buildings with mixed masonry and stone structures. The construction department should do a good job in the budget of green brick materials, coordinate the production progress with the brick kiln, and ensure the timely supply of green bricks. Ouyang Shuo commanded.

Zhao Dewang nodded and said that he understood, the adult's generosity was really one after another, and the Construction Division had just finished the city wall project, and it was really easy to take on such a job.

"The household registration department should do a good job in the deployment of personnel, and I suggest that the number of workers in the brick kiln can be directly increased to 200." Ouyang Shuo said to Zhou Haichen.

"No problem." Zhou Haichen nodded in response.

"The next step is the highlight, the adjustment of the building layout. In principle, all of the five categories of agricultural, industrial, fisher, animal husbandry, and artisans, except for artisans, must move to live outside the city. Adopt the principle of proximity and plan settlements. For example, workers in a brick kiln can build a settlement near the brick kiln. Workers in the quarry will be able to build settlements near the quarry. In this way, not only the congested population of the town was relieved, but also the workers of the settlement were also facilitated. This step taken by Ouyang Shuo is the first step to separate the urban population from the rural population, and these settlements are the prototype of the future natural village.

This step is also a step in the transformation of Shanhai Town from a rural tribe to a city. After the four categories of agriculture, industry, fishery and animal husbandry were evacuated outside the city, only craftsmen, workshop workers, handicraftsmen, merchants and other industrial and commercial personnel were left in the town, making the town more pure and more vibrant.

"Lord Qiqi, my subordinates are very much in favor of the construction of settlements, but there are two doubts." Director of Administration Fan Zhongyan was the first to ask questions.

"Sir, please speak!"

"After the establishment of a settlement, how can the administration of the settlement be carried out, and how can the safety of the settled people be guaranteed?" Fan Zhongyan's question was very poignant.

Ouyang Shuo was confident, and the establishment of a settlement was not a temporary idea for him, but the result of a long period of careful consideration, and like the spring offensive, it was one of the countermeasures.

"Good question. The settlement is managed according to the principle of territorial autonomy. The consular people should nominate a person of high moral integrity to serve as the head of the settlement, and report to the administrative office for the record. Li Zheng was in charge of the household registration and servitude of the settlement. ”

For the position of Li Zheng, of course, Fan Zhongyan will not be unfamiliar. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, there was already a position of Li Zheng, and he was indeed the best candidate to manage the settlement.

"As for the safety of the people, there is no need to worry. One is that as long as the spring offensive is carried out smoothly, the territory will be free of external threats, and there will be no security problems at all. Second, two military camps will be set up inside and outside the city in the future, which will be enough to ensure the safety of the people in the territory. ”

After answering Fan Zhongyan's question, Ouyang Shuo continued: "There is also a need to make an adjustment to the building partitions within the city wall. Xicheng District was originally a residential area, but after a large number of residents moved out, only the southwest area was retained as a residential area. The northwest area was changed to a commercial area, and all the workshops were concentrated in the commercial area. The Northeast Military District retains only military buildings such as barracks, arsenals, stables, weapons workshops, and armor workshops. The southeastern cultural and diocese area is somewhat empty, and a number of official residences can be built in this area for officials at or above the deputy director level to live. ”

"The iconic shopping street is still there, but the shops have been completely renovated and upgraded. The square in front of the lord's mansion should be well rested, paved with bluestone slabs, and then arranged some flower beds, sculptures or something, and decorated to make it truly a place for the lords to gather for leisure. Finally, the two main roads in the city that cross each other should also be paved with bluestone slabs. The territory has been upgraded to a second-class township, and the main road is still a dirt road, which is really a bit out of shape. ”

Zhao Dewang felt bitter in his heart, according to the adult's plan, the amount of work is no less than building another city wall.

Ouyang Shuo didn't pay any attention to Zhao Dewang's meaning, looked at Cui Yingyu, and asked: "Is there a problem that the expenses required for the adjustment of the entire plan are transferred from the treasury to the public budget expenditure?" ”

"I can barely cope with it." Yingyu cautiously returned.

Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "That's good." If it's really not enough, come to me again, and I'll figure it out. The entire planning adjustment must be completed within a month, is there a problem on the part of the Construction Division? ”

"If you add settlements, to be honest, it's a bit reluctant." Although he didn't want to disappoint the adults, Zhao Dewang didn't dare to take it like this. If you agree to it now, and you can't complete the task by then, then the adults will have to tear him apart.

Ouyang Shuo shook his head amusedly and said, "The construction of the settlement does not have to worry about the construction department. Since it is the self-government of the people, of course, their houses are built by themselves. ”

Zhao Dewang breathed a sigh of relief and said briskly: "Then it's no problem." ”

"Good. Just now, I just talked about a general plan, specific details, and you need the construction department to improve it, and after it is done, report it to me for review. Ouyang Shuo finally instructed.

"Rest assured, the planning details can be done within three days." Hao Jiancheng, who was in charge of planning, patted his chest and said.

"Well, that's it, let's dismiss the meeting!"
