"The most important thing about the reconstruction plan for the capital city is to re-plan the layout of the capital city. The preliminary plan is to expand the capital city into a large city with a population of 5 million, and to retain enough land for it to develop into an international metropolis with a population of 10 million, 20 million, and 30 million in the future."

When Chu Yun proposed this idea, everyone in the Ministry of Works was shocked by Chu Yun's grand vision.

With a population of 5 million, can the capital city, which is currently mainly composed of low civil and commercial houses, really accommodate so many people? Moreover, the demand for not only private houses, public land, commercial construction sites, and industrial land is increasing dramatically, which means that private houses occupy a smaller proportion of the total land area.

Not to mention Chu Yun also believes that the city can accommodate 30 million people in the future.

What is the concept of 30 million people? Now England, Scotland and Ireland have less than 10 million people in total, which is conceivable.

In such a big city, it is very difficult to provide food to those living in it.

How difficult it would be to make big cities with tens of millions of people operate normally.

"Secondly, completely lift the city walls from the scale of the city and extend the city scope to the outside world. Now the city walls no longer have the ability to resist foreign enemies, and some city gates are left as relics to preserve, and no city walls will be built from now on."

"Wide the main road in Beijing, the width of the main road should be at least ten lanes wide, and special sidewalks and green belts should be set up. The secondary roads around the city should be at least eight lanes wide, so that the capital city must be well connected. The road surface uses new cement pavement for cars in the future."

"Deepen urban sewers, promote flush toilets to ordinary families, strengthen the construction of drainage systems, and prevent waterlogging."

"Build a drinking water filter pool to provide citizens with cleaner water and reduce the possibility of plague outbreaks."

“Cultivate trees on both sides of the main road, preserve royal gardens and establish civic parks to improve air quality in the city.”

"Secondly move heavy industry to the suburbs and build a special industrial zone."

“Protect some valuable buildings…”

...

Chu Yun successively announced plans for large-scale construction in the capital, and made it a modern city with a population of tens of millions in his lifetime.

The people of the Ministry of Works were facing a great enemy. They thought of carrying out major reconstruction, and they were in a hurry.

This time, we may have to bleed a lot and spend a lot of manpower and material resources to rebuild the city, with the purpose of reducing unnecessary troubles in the future and adapting to the next era more.

Urban planning and construction are extremely troublesome, involving road planning, demolition, supporting facilities construction, etc.

Chu Yun plans to complete the overall plan for major reconstruction within one year and gradually implement it within twenty years, laying the foundation for the capital to become an international metropolis with a population of tens of millions in the future.

Larger, cleaner and more systematic, no longer regarding the city as a simple place of residence, but a system for planning and management, leaving room for expansion for the future.

This is something that is hard to imagine in the farming era. They cannot imagine that there will be a city that can accommodate more than 10 million people.

In the agricultural era, it is easy to get tight if it only supplies a city with hundreds of thousands of people. No one will specifically plan the layout of a city with a capacity of 10 million people. Generally, they just need to just live by and find a way to solve it until a problem occurs.

Chu Yun threw this problem to the Ministry of Works.

The Ministry of Industry needs to complete the major renovation plan within one year, involving roads, zoning, water supply, sewage discharge and other aspects, and even consider the impact of the metropolitan underground railway system on the city that has not yet officially started.

Chu Yun's drastic moves are far from over.

"There is another important thing. We need to requisition a place to establish a guild hall for the World Expo to demonstrate the power of industry to the Ambassadors of All Nations and our people." Chu Yun also expressed a major plan.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the World Expo, he must start to fully exert the power of industry and build a large-scale construction.

Unlike the past emperors who built civil and wooden palaces for their own enjoyment, Chu Yun believed that those buildings only had cultural relics at most, and what he wanted to build could change the appearance of the city and even the entire human civilization.

Cement roads, tall buildings, advanced urban water supply and sewage systems, etc., after Chu Yun accumulated enough technology in the front, it should have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

"The venue of the Wanguo Expo Hall is scheduled to be near the Wanguo Zoo and Botanical Garden. The Wanguo Zoo and Botanical Garden represents awe of nature, while the Wanguo Expo represents the wisdom of industry. The interweaving and contrasting nature and artificial will give people a stronger feeling."

"The main body of this guild hall should be built with transparent glass, concrete and steel. It is expected to be 20 meters high, 700 meters long, 150 meters wide, and cover an area of ​​105,000 square meters. This will be a permanent building, and the World Expo will be held every ten years. It will not be opened to the public during the expo. After the expo, it will be opened to the public for a fee and charges will be charged to maintain the renovation of the guild hall."

"The building is divided into three major floors, focusing mainly on industrial atmosphere and good lighting. There should be enough spacious space to display industrial products, and at the same time, our oriental garden-style setting is adopted, with some humanistic feelings."

“I need a group of architectural designers to come up with a plan as soon as possible and start making design drawings and supplying building materials to the factory, and complete the work before the World Expo begins.”

Chu Yun expressed his expectations for the International Expo Hall. He hoped that there would be a hall that could show the power of industry, and there were some elements of oriental gardens inside.

The steel cement and glass used in this guild hall will not only be the main building materials for human society in the early stages of industry, but also in the next hundred years.

"I guess with the current production capacity, as long as you formulate the design plan and design drawings in advance and submit orders to the factory to prepare materials, one year is enough for the guild hall you expect to rise up."

After simple calculations, officials from the Ministry of Works were not worried.

The hall of the World Expo is just a single building. It can be completed within one year with sufficient human, material and financial resources.

Compared with the next major reconstruction of the capital that will last for twenty years, the investment in the World Expo is just a small matter, or part of the major reconstruction of the capital.

"Sir, can the guild hall of this International Expo have any name? Or does this project have its own name?" asked the Ministry of Works.

Any project has its own name, such as "Grassland Railway", "Greater North-South Railway", "Metropolitan Underground Railway", and the halls of the World Expo must also have their own name.
