Chapter 286 New Luoyang Project

"Father, you should have made some plans. I'm just here too, and I'm still ignorant of the situation in Luoyang and your plans. It just so happens that we're all here today. Tell me about it."

Sun Chunming nodded reservedly, but he still couldn't help showing a bit of complacency on his face, so everyone stopped playing mahjong and stopped their hands one after another, wanting to see why Sun Chunming dared to have such a big tone.

"You come with me."

With that said, Sun Chunming led the three of them into the study room, and took out a sketch drawn by himself from the bookshelf, "Look, this is the sketch I drew, the new Luoyang, I plan to follow the plan above Come plan and build."

"This is……"

Both Fu Yanqing and Zhao Guangmei looked at this plan in shock. It was because this plan was too avant-garde for them. They saw that there were no square buildings in the whole map, but one trap after another. It looks very powerful, but for a while, I can't see why.

However, in Sun Yue's view, this is so simple and clear, it is clearly the fifth ring! Sun Chunming actually planned to build it completely according to a modern city.

"Luoyang used to be the god capital of the old Tang Dynasty, so its overall structure is similar to Chang'an City. Although there is no square wall, it is inevitably a bit old-fashioned, and it is very unfavorable to commercial development. I mean, since Luoyang is going to be If it is built into a shopping mall, then except for the innermost part of the inner city, everything is for the purpose of commercial services, canceling the concept of squares and replacing them with rings."

"The most central part, which is the ruins of the old palace of Shendu, will not be moved for the time being. If the capital is really moved here in the future, a big inner circle will be rebuilt on this basis. It will be counted as the first ring, and the second ring around the outer circle will not be moved for the time being. After the capital is moved, it can be used as the residence of princes, ministers and dignitaries, and starting from the third ring, it is the place we will rebuild."

"Look, Luoshui flows through from here, so the third ring, with Luoshui as the boundary, can be divided into three parts. The north bank of the upper reaches can be used as a wharf. When water transportation is established in the future, it will be the lifeline of the entire Luoyang. In the downstream part, some shops can be planned, and the goods can be distributed all over the world, and the largest cargo distribution center in our Song Dynasty can be built, while the opposite bank can be like the south bank of the Bian River in Kaifeng, where inns, corner shops, brothels, etc. can be built.”

Hearing this, Fu Yanqing couldn't help asking curiously: "So you mean that the entire third ring is a place for commercial use, and it's not inhabited?"

"That's right. All the shops, especially those with relatively high consumption, should be placed in the third ring as much as possible. In this way, it will be very convenient for the nobles living in the second ring to go out and play, and ordinary people in Luoyang will live in this third ring." The fourth ring, if you have spare money, go to the third ring to spend, if not, the fourth ring will not be restricted like in the old Tang Dynasty, some small businesses are the same as Kaifeng."

"And this fifth ring is our top priority, the industrial zone."

"industrial area?"

"It just so happens that Jiguan Cave is also at this location. There is already a large cement factory here, and I have specially built a glass factory here before. In addition, I also asked the three kings to ask for an order, hoping to move the official kiln run by the Kaifeng government. Here, it goes well with the glass."

Sun Yue said with a smile: "Father, if you want to fill your five rings with just these two things, Xinluoyang may not be able to support you. Have you researched other good things?"

"It's nothing new, it's just some ideas. With the experience of glass sintering furnaces, I built two tower furnaces in the west to make steel. It's just an experiment. If it can be done, the steel output of Dasong will be as high as that of our own." There will be a relatively large improvement in quality, construction is already underway, and it’s hard to say whether it will be completed or not, but there should still be an [-]% certainty.”

Zhao Guangmei and Fu Yanqing both half-understood, but Sun Yue immediately jumped up, one couldn't hold back, and blurted out: "Damn, how to make steel by local methods?"

The so-called indigenous steelmaking refers to a special period after the founding of the People's Republic of China. At that time, the whole country was clamoring to catch up with the Premier League and the United States. Almost every city would have a small steel furnace for steelmaking. Well, people all over the country have been tossed about by this cheating slogan, but if that thing is put in the Song Dynasty, it is also a proper black technology.

It’s also a coincidence that when Sun Chunming was young, he caught up with this sport. Because he smashed the pot in his own house with his small arms that were only seven or eight years old at the time, he had a particularly deep memory. The broken furnace was not completely eradicated until the 80s, so Sun Chunming actually has a good grasp of this black technology.

As for pollution?wear out?Too much coke?Would this be considered a shortcoming 1000 years ago?No EPA fines.

"That's right. After the production of steel comes up, I plan to ask the officials to move the military artisans to Luoyang. Our army is short of horses. The reason why we can win against the Khitan depends on the strength of arrows, so this The loss of arrows is naturally great. Luoyang is close to Wangwu Mountain, so it is much more convenient to fell than Kaifeng. In addition to the steel I smelted, how difficult is it to build this place into an ordnance base for our army? "

When Sun Yue heard Sun Chunming's plan, he also followed suit, "Since there are glass and steel, there is no reason not to engage in deep processing of steel, and steel bars can also be produced, even if they are knocked by hand, the cost will not be very high. First, the construction industry can also develop, coupled with the integration of upstream and downstream industries, it is not impossible to even develop basic chemical industry through this. With these industries as the backbone, Luoyang has a population of more than one million, and no matter how many there are, it can support Can you afford it, Dad, you actually came up with such a big charter quietly? You are trying to make history!"

When the topic came to this point, Fu Yanqing and Zhao Guangmei felt nothing but ignorance, and couldn't get in the way at all. Even though Sun Yue and Sun Chunming talked more and more excitedly, the two of them were very excited.

"Eh...although I don't understand what you're talking about, but since both of you father and son are so excited, it must be possible to do this. That...you take it easy, let me ask first, you There is no garrison area on the fifth ring, where can we put our [-] troops?"

"Oh, the forbidden army is placed outside the Fifth Ring Road. The city wall of Luoyang City is old and a bit small to be honest, so in my plan, the city wall of Luoyang City will also be rebuilt, and I have also drawn a picture of the city wall , planning to build the city like this.”

With that said, Sun Chunming took out a new sketch from the bookshelf.

"This is... a bastion structure? Dad, can you build a bastion?"

The so-called bastion is a structure between squares and circles. The corners of the city wall are all protruding. At first glance, it looks like an octagonal star. It was originally invented by Italy in the [-]th century. The field battle was changed to a heavy offense and defense, which directly broke the root of the nomadic people's dominance of the world. It is not an exaggeration to say that it was a revolution in military history.

The power of the bastion is that no matter where the enemy attacks, it is enough to ensure that at least two or three defenders will fight back against it, and there are no dead ends. Its defense is far better than the traditional four-sided four-cornered city wall. sex.

Luoyang is already surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the large-scale cavalry cannot be stretched at all. If this thing is added, this is really easy to defend and difficult to attack. With the existing military technology, even if millions of Liao cavalry attack, as long as they continue to attack If there is no food, there is absolutely no reason to break the city.

Although Zhao Guangmei is a bastard, Fu Yanqing is a real connoisseur. After watching it for a while, he was completely convinced by Sun Chunming.

"If this city can really be cast, then I, Song Guozuo, will have no worries."

"I asked Lao Fang to try to build a model. He said that the problem is not big. Now that there is cement, why do the new city defenses have to follow the rules? In this way, the troops can be stationed in these corners, which is almost impossible in normal times. Affecting the normal commercial activities of the city, it can occupy the entire city within half an hour during wartime."

Zhao Guangmei said: "Whether it's the city walls or the planning inside, Luoyang City has been rebuilt? How much does it cost?"

"I'm afraid, it's impossible to find out if there are no tens of millions, but if we in Luoyang can really build the city's commercial center as I want, the money doesn't need to be allocated by the court. We can get it done within ten years, or even five years, but Well, all of this has a major premise."

"What premise?"

"Water transport! If water transport is blocked, everything is in vain."
