I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 671 Infrastructure Construction Achievements

In terms of people's livelihood infrastructure construction, Dahua has also made significant achievements this year.

After planning, Nanjing has built several slums.

And the infrastructure in these slums is better than some parts of the city.

Although the houses are smaller, the population is highly dense.

However, they are all red brick houses, or red brick bungalows, which are very comfortable to live in.

There are various shops inside, selling some cheap goods. Various or even facilities, very complete.

Sometimes, some poor people in the city will come here to buy things, which are cheaper.

The four slums alone now house nearly 400,000 people.

The population of Nanjing has exceeded two million.

In this day and age, that number is terrifying.

How to manage these two million people is a very headache. After Liu Dahua became the mayor of Nanjing, there were a few more gray hairs.

The food and drink of these two million people is a big problem.

If it weren't for the railway and several official roads leading to the surrounding area, these people would not be able to supply the food they need every day.

Liu Dahua is now working on the sewer reconstruction project of the entire city, and is preparing to apply for a fund to systematically plan and reconstruct Nanjing's sewers.

At the same time, two more water plants will be built.

The increase in population has polluted Nanjing's clean water resources.

Those wealthy areas have already installed running water, otherwise water will be a big problem.

It was used in the wealthy area, and Liu Dahua thought that the poor area should also be installed, but this would require money.

In the city of Nanjing, two large squares have been built, and several parks for leisure have also been built.

In some leisure places, there are also football fields and basketball courts, among which, basketball courts are mostly used.

Football requires a large field, and the number of people required to complete a confrontation is too large, which is difficult to organize.

Taking this factor into account, Wu Changqing also got the basketball out.

Basketball occupies a small area and can be played by ten or six people, which is more convenient than football. Moreover, in terms of confrontation, it is not worse than football.

Being an emperor has the advantage of being able to change the world according to one's own preferences.

Wu Changqing likes basketball and football, so he can promote it together with a decree.

No official would object to such an innocuous decree.

And Wu Changqing didn't like polo, he didn't promote it, and even ordered it to be banned.

Polo is too dangerous and expensive to promote as a sport.

Even as a noble movement, it is not necessary.

There is also golf, which he does not like, and is destined to be unable to land in Dahua in the future.

Who made him the emperor, what he doesn't like is destined to be unable to carry forward.

In Nanjing, there are already four routes for public carriages, passing through most of the densely populated areas.

Traveling by public carriage has become a daily routine for Nanjing and Shanghai people.

But in other cities, it has not yet appeared.

The development gap between Nanjing and other places is very large.

Aside from the stagecoach, a notable change in Nanjing is the increase in tall buildings.

In Hongwu Road, Confucius Temple, and Qinhuai River, which are far away from the imperial palace, there is no limit to the height of buildings, and they can be built at will.

The increase in population has led to rising land prices and the construction of high-rise buildings has become a trend.

The abundance of building materials and the improvement of the construction level have made the construction of high-rise buildings possible.

Last year, the Jinling Hotel was the tallest building in Nanjing, with four floors and a height of 18 meters.

And this year, Jinling Hotel couldn't even squeeze into the top three.

Due to the increase of students, the university building reluctantly built an eight-storey teaching building and a six-storey dormitory building.

At first glance, it is almost the same as the schools of later generations, full of modern atmosphere.

The BMW dealership, in order to demonstrate its strength, built a ten-story building with a total height of 40 meters, temporarily ranking first.

Other major companies have also built their headquarters high in order to demonstrate their strength or save land.

The headquarters of Jiangnan Iron and Steel Plant is expected to be on the thirteenth floor, and the first position of the headquarters of BMW Motors will not be able to sit for long.

Of course, the eleventh and second floors are almost the current limit.

Buildings that are too tall are also inconvenient until an elevator is made.

Only when the elevator appears, the height of the building will usher in another rise.

In addition to high-rise buildings, all the bustling streets of Nanjing have been paved with concrete roads, and even street lamps have been erected.

The street lamps use kerosene, and it is very troublesome to add kerosene every time.

However, this makes these streets brightly lit at night, and there is no need to go to bed early. A group of late-night parties has begun to appear in these places.

Without looking at other places in Dahua, just looking at the prosperous areas of Nanjing, almost all of them have reached the level of big cities in the early 20th century.

These are the basic constructions in Nanjing City. Outside Nanjing City, the construction of official roads has also been quite complete.

The official roads leading to several surrounding big cities have been built, and even the villages around Nanjing have also built roads, making travel extremely convenient.

After a lapse of several years, Qu Shisi, who returned to Nanjing, was immediately stunned by the changes in Nanjing.

Although he often reads newspapers in Yunnan, he understands the changes in Dahua.

However, the descriptions in the newspapers have always lacked some sense of the picture, far from the shock brought by what I saw with my own eyes.

Everything in Nanjing has become unfamiliar to Qu Shizi.

Those steamboats with black smoke and trains running wild on land with black smoke made him puzzled.

Not to mention those trains and steam ships, even a small bicycle can make them stunned.

Walking into Nanjing, he almost lost his way. Many landmark buildings in Nanjing were demolished and replaced by some new buildings.

Walking on the streets of Nanjing, every new thing that comes into sight makes Qu Shisi feel a strong breath.

These are all made by the emperor of Dahua, and they are really gods. Daming and Daqing were defeated in his hands, and it was really not wrong at all.

Qu Shiqi sighed in his heart.

In his view, Nanjing's changes are more incredible than Dahua's defeat of Qing and Ming.

The people who can bring about this kind of change are truly incredible.

After some emotion, he also began to visit his old friends, seeking the opportunity to return to officialdom.

Today's Dahua is thriving, and he is not willing to stand by and be an audience. Only by participating in this great historical process can he gain a sense of accomplishment.

It's a pity that he came a step late. If he had arrived earlier, Qian Qianyi would have been able to help him.

And now, Qian Qianyi has been demoted, and he has lost one of his biggest boosts.

Every time he thinks of this, Qu Shisi is extremely depressed.
