Two months have passed since Earl Satsuma presented the Bangta City overall plan in front of Xu Yi, but in fact the progress in this regard has been slow and slow.
One is because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Armli Chamber of Commerce, which are mainly responsible for the current first phase of the project, were unable to leave some time ago, and the other is because this overall planning project encountered difficulties at the beginning.
The first phase of the renovation project decided upon by Xu Yi and Earl Satsuma included, in addition to the two villages, several private lands of nobles.
In comparison, although there are more villagers in those two villages, they are very easy to deal with.
Xu Yi went over with the order from the city lord's palace. No one in the two villages raised any objections. No matter what Xu Yi said, they all obeyed.
What really makes Xu Yi and President Cruise feel troublesome is the small aristocratic territories.
For the nobles on the Sainz continent, their private territory belongs to them, and even His Majesty the King cannot dispose of it at will. Therefore, if Xu Yi wants to do something with these noble territories outside Bangta City, he must obtain these nobles. their consent.
The problem is that except for two of the more enlightened nobles who agreed to the Amri Chamber of Commerce's large-scale construction in their territory, the remaining nobles do not understand what this so-called overall renovation project of Bangta City is all about. Naturally, Wouldn't agree.
So the project was delayed because of these stubborn nobles, and the progress was extremely slow.
Earl Satsuma was very dissatisfied with this situation. After asking Xu Yi and President Cruz the reason, he held this banquet, which not only gathered all the nobles in Bangta City, but also all the chambers of commerce. Concentrated.
In addition to trying to convince those stubborn nobles to understand the significance of Bangta City's renovation project, they also wanted to raise funds from more chambers of commerce.
After finishing his opening remarks, Earl Satsuma quickly got to the point and explained in detail the ideas in the planning book he had read to Xu Yi before.
Everyone in the audience was a little confused at first. However, as Earl Satsuma explained in depth, he gradually showed a thoughtful expression.
It should be said that Earl Satsuma had a very good idea to carry out the overall transformation of Bonta City.
The rise of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in Bangta City now has led to the emergence of many chambers of commerce and factories. Also because of the various magic machines produced by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the production efficiency of other major chambers of commerce has been greatly improved, and these chambers of commerce have also further developed and grown.
As a result, countless new factories have been opened in Bangta City, creating countless job opportunities and attracting a large number of people, making the originally quiet Bangta City extremely prosperous and lively.
But this also brings huge problems.
Bangta City was originally a small town with a population of only about 50,000. It was underdeveloped in all aspects, including municipal administration and people's livelihood. Now suddenly there are so many factories and so many people. It was like a huge disaster for this small town.
Not to mention anything else, the amount of feces transported out of Bangta City every day is several times more than before, which has put great pressure on Bangta City's municipal administration.
If this continues, Bangta City will be crushed by these pressures sooner or later.
"Everyone, I don't think anyone wants to live in a chaotic and disorganized city. So in order to change the current situation. After careful consideration, I decided to carry out an overall transformation of Bangta City."
Having said this, Earl Satsuma paused, looked around, and saw the thoughtful expressions of everyone in the audience. Then he nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Of course. In Bangta City is There is no way to transform, and Bangta City is indeed too small to support so many people, so my goal is outside the city. As for how to transform outside the city, we have to listen to the experts in this field, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. President Xu Yi’s thoughts.”
Xu Yi walked onto the stage with a smile under everyone's gaze. Taking over the position of Earl Satsuma, he bowed slightly to the people below and said with a smile: "The Lord of the City praised me too much. I am not an expert in this field, but I have some relevant experience when I was developing the Falling Rain Valley before. That’s all.”
Hearing Xu Yi mention the Falling Rain Valley, everyone in the audience started whispering.
After the Luoyu Highway was opened, many people would take a carriage back and forth on the Luoyu Highway just out of curiosity. Naturally, many people also took advantage of the opportunity to go to the Luoyu Valley.
Then everyone discovered that the Luoyu Valley, which was originally an extremely barren and almost useless place, had now turned into a very beautiful and spectacular place after the continuous development and construction of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
After seeing the beautiful factories and living areas in Luoyu Valley, many people will be as amazed as President Pompeii.
Therefore, not many people were surprised when they learned that Earl Satsuma had handed over the overall renovation project of Bangta City to Xu Yilai.
"First, let me show you some paintings."
At Xu Yi's signal, two attendants from the city lord's palace came up holding several scrolls and shelves, and then unfolded the paintings on the shelves one by one.
When everyone's eyes fell on the scroll, they saw beautiful landscapes.
In the middle picture, the protagonist is a river, but this river is different from the river in everyone's impression.
The banks of this river are not filled with sediment, but are blocked by very neat and beautiful embankments made of who knows what.
The water under the embankment is clear and the blue waves are rippling, and various trees and flowers are planted on both sides of the embankment.
There is a concrete road on both sides of the river that is not particularly spacious but extremely flat. Under the cover of greenery, several men and women, old and young, are strolling along the river, enjoying the cool breeze.
Beside the road are several flat lawns, and many children are running back and forth on the lawn with cheerful smiles on their faces.
Just seeing this picture, everyone in the audience couldn't help but marvel at it.
If any river could be so neat and clean, then I would be willing to go for a walk by the river at dusk.
"President Xu, when you put these paintings out now, do you want to tell us that the river in this painting is the river outside Bangta City now?" A person in the audience couldn't help shouting. asked.
"Yes, the river in this painting is the Sandy River after modification. What do you think?" Xu Yi asked with a smile.
"Well, that's great. But how could the Sandy River turn into what it looks like in your painting?"
"That's right, the Sandy River is fine as long as it doesn't flood every year. How can it become so beautiful?"
"President Xu, this is completely a fantasy of yours. It is impossible to realize it."
"yes… "
…
Seeing everyone in the audience agreeing, Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Who said it's impossible? If you don't believe me, ask President Cruise what the Sandy River looks like now in the upper reaches of the Rainfall Forest."
Everyone looked at Moon Cruise, the president of the Armley Chamber of Commerce, who was sipping red wine.
Cruise put down his glass and gave everyone a proud smile.
"President Xu is right, the Sandy River does not look very good now, but it is not difficult to change it to what it looks like in this painting. Because for more than a year, our Armley Chamber of Commerce has been The river embankment reconstruction on the upper reaches of the Sandy River northwest of Falling Rain Forest has begun to bear fruit. Although it is not as beautiful as the one in this painting, it is not far off. "
"Well, I went to the orc tribe in the Black Rice Wasteland for something some time ago. On the way, I passed the upper reaches of the Sandy River, but I found that the Sandy River that was almost dry now has completely changed. It looks like this picture now. The painting was almost as beautiful. I just saw some people busy on the river embankment, but I didn’t expect them to be workers from the Armley Chamber of Commerce.”
Everyone turned to look and found that the person who said this was Relsa, the president of the Renekton Chamber of Commerce in the city who specialized in reselling the orcs.
He did it because of the Chamber of Commerce business. Occasionally I would personally go to the orc tribe, passing by the upper reaches of the Sandy River.
Since he said this, it seems that this matter should be true.
Seeing the change in the expressions of everyone in the audience, Xu Yi clapped his hands, drew everyone's attention back, pointed to another painting and said: "Everyone, look at this painting again. I think everyone should see it. This is a picture viewed from a high altitude. Please note that there is a city on the right, which represents Bangta City where we are now, and on the left is Sangqi, where our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is currently located. Dayton Manor. As for the wide, criss-crossing white lines in this painting, I think everyone has guessed that they all represent highways.”
Even if he had already guessed it, he heard Xu Yi say it at this moment. Everyone was still surprised.
"President Xu, so many of them are highways? That's not true, right?" The president of a small chamber of commerce in the audience couldn't help but ask. "I can understand that your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will build a road from Bangta City to Sanqiton Manor, but building so many useless roads is not necessary, right?"
"It's useless?" Xu Yi smiled and waved his hand. "No, there will be no useless roads in this world. The reason why I marked so many roads on this map is to tell everyone that I really intend to do this, and I also commissioned Amri The Chamber of Commerce will conduct on-site inspections of the road surfaces that these roads need to pass through, and as long as there are no problems with the inspection results, construction of these roads will begin at the same time.”
"That's right. Our Amuli Chamber of Commerce is extremely professional in building roads. Since President Xu has entrusted us, we will definitely build these roads." President Cruz nodded in agreement. "In addition, I can also remind everyone here that if anyone here is interested in building roads, you can come to me for discussion at any time."
Xu Yi laughed: "President Cruz, I just want you to confirm the facts I just said. I don't want you to take the opportunity to advertise."
Everyone in the audience couldn't help but smile.
"Of course, the construction of roads is not something that President Cruz and I can just say. We also need everyone's support."
Hearing Xu Yi's words, the businessmen in the audience looked at the nobles on the other side.
Everyone knew in their hearts that Xu Yi was talking about those stubborn nobles.
At this moment, a cold snort suddenly sounded from the crowd of nobles.
"Hmph! President Xu really knows how to talk to himself. Do you think Bangta City belongs to you alone?"
