At this moment, a baby voice suddenly came from behind, with heavy breathing.
"Daddy, Father, here I come!"
Jiang Ling and Yue Qianli turned around and saw a three-headed little kid carrying a small bag, climbing the stairs and walking towards them. They felt a little sad.
Ever since this child climbed up the stairs by himself at Yuehua Villa last time, he no longer needs anyone to hold him when climbing the stairs.
I insisted that I was a three-year-old child and didn't want to bother the uncles anymore. The uncles were old and would also be tired.
What a considerate little cub!
Is this to repay a favor?
Jiang Ling looked at him happily, ran over and hugged him.
"Wow, my son is awesome!" He couldn't help but give him two big kisses after saying that. "Mummmmm."
The little cub could only look at his daddy helplessly, and it was acceptable for him to kiss him occasionally.
Then she smiled foolishly and looked at Jiang Ling, letting him touch and kiss her.
The father and son quarreled for a while and then stopped.
Seeing that everyone was present, Jiang Ling led them into the central hall.
All the houses in the Northland Villa are spotlessly clean, without even a speck of dust. It doesn't even feel like anyone has lived there before, it's like a brand new villa.
Everyone was delighted, knowing without asking that it was the magical power of their master.
Then, everyone happily found a seat and sat down.
Jiang Ling was very happy to see everyone so happy, and he started talking.
"Okay, this place will be our home from now on, Northland Villa.
As for how to live, you can arrange it yourself. Everything is clean and tidy. You just need to change into your daily necessities.
Let's temporarily let those girls live in that house." Everyone nodded, indicating they understood.
Jiang Ling continued, "After a while, Shen Yinyun, Gu Chenchen, Yun Zheng, Mo Wuhen, and the genius doctor Ouyang Qing will all come over. Butler Chen will clear out a yard for them."
Butler Chen responded immediately.
"Yes, my lord, I will make the arrangements."
Jiang Ling nodded and thought about it.
"Xu Wenzhi stays here, and everyone else go downstairs and tidy up your own quarters."
"Yes, my lord."
After everyone had left, Jiang Ling looked at Xu Wenzhi and said.
"Xu Wenzhi, let's discuss how to start building the city.
Don't worry about money.
I'll tell you my general idea, and you can come up with a complete plan in the next two days, okay?"
Xu Wenzhi nodded, indicating that he could.
Since both the master and the lord wanted him to be the city lord, he had no choice but to take the position.
Among this group of people, he is the only one who has served as an official and knows something about management.
Others? It’s not that they lack ability, but they excel in different areas.
"Master, I understand. Tell me your thoughts first."
Jiang Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, first looking at Yue Qianli, then turning to Xu Wenzhi. After a brief pause, he cleared his throat and began to elaborate on his various ideas about the Northern Border City.
"In my opinion, the current overall layout of Northern City can probably remain unchanged.
After all, the current layout is well-connected and travel is convenient.
The main roads in the city are quite wide.
Even if two carriages were galloping side by side, there would still be ample space on either side for pedestrians to walk."
At this point, Jiang Ling couldn't help but nodded, indicating that he gave a certain degree of approval to the existing layout.
However, he changed the subject and continued, "However, the gate of Northern City must be rebuilt!
Moreover, not only does it need to be rebuilt, but a lot of effort must also be put into increasing the thickness!
You might as well refer to the gate designs of other surrounding cities, learn from their strengths, and combine them with our own actual needs to create an indestructible and magnificent city gate! "
Then, Jiang Ling raised his hand and pointed lightly at the road below his feet, frowning slightly and said, "Also, the roads in the city must be repaired.
Look at those roads, they are really bumpy and full of potholes. Every time a carriage passes by, the dust it raises can make people look dusty in an instant;
If it rains, it will be even worse. There will be puddles of all sizes everywhere on the road. If you step into one, you will not only be splashed with mud and water, but you will also fall down if you are not careful.
Such a situation is not only not conducive to people's daily travel, but also detrimental to the city's environmental sanitation.
So, road construction is urgent and must be put on the agenda as soon as possible! "
Another thing is that the houses in the Northern City are almost all built with stone.
You should go and ask if there is anyone who knows how to fire a kiln. Let's use bricks and stones to build the house.
Those dilapidated and dangerous buildings must be demolished and rebuilt.
The houses on both sides of the main road are mainly two-story buildings. We still need to develop businesses to give more people opportunities to survive.
I suggest that the North be divided into the outer city and the inner city.
The outer city accepts wealthy people who have escaped or been exiled, and sells to them if they can afford it.
However, we have the final say on the identity of the visitor and whether he or she can enter the Northern Border City.
The inner city is mainly populated by current residents.
Everyone takes action, those who have money contribute money, and once the new houses are built, they can settle down directly.
Those without money can contribute their labor and manpower, and after the new house is built, they can live in it for ten or twenty years, but they have to pay a certain amount of silver every year, which is equivalent to paying us in installments according to the house price."
He paused, took a sip of water, and continued.
“This is the construction in the city, and then there is the issue of planting in the three villages.
At that time, we need to go and see their actual situation and the situation on the ground, and then discuss how to proceed.
You need to make a detailed plan and blueprints for building the city.
As for the details, I will add some more after looking at your drawings.
Regarding the details of city construction and the development of the northern border, you can discuss it with Shen Yinyun when he comes later.
He still has a lot of fresh ideas.
As for what kind of people are needed, how many people, and approximately how much money is needed, you can write it down in the plan.
From now on, Liu Bin and the other six will follow you to work in the City Lord's Mansion.
By the way, we must build a City Lord's Mansion. As for where to build it, you need to go and see it and then draw it on the blueprint."
Xu Wenzhi remembered everything Jiang Ling said.
Then there are no other problems at the moment. He needs to conduct an on-site inspection to obtain more information so that he can communicate more effectively.
Soon, half an hour later.
The little guy ran in and told Jiang Ling excitedly.
"Daddy, Father, Uncle Xu, have you finished your discussion? It's time to eat!"
He was extremely hungry and had walked such a long way.
Fortunately, Uncle Chen cooks quickly, otherwise he would have fainted from hunger.
He will be the first cub to faint from hunger.
