Daming: I have a showdown, my father-in-law is the emperor

Chapter 250 Daming City Planning
Compared with the heated discussions among other ministers.

Chongzhen fell into deep thought.

Obviously, he is very interested in Chen Fan's land reform.

This would be an unprecedented reform.

May I ask which dynasty has such boldness to take the land of the whole country from private hands to the court?
No, never.

The previous dynasty didn't even have this terrifying idea.

Only a chosen son like the national teacher has such great ambitions to promote the land reform of Ming Dynasty.

Chongzhen was very fortunate that he had a share of the credit for such an unprecedented feat.

Future history books will definitely have his name through the ages.

Chongzhen looked at Chen Fan on the podium, his eyes were full of gratitude.

It's thanks to Chen Fan that he has the chance to be famous forever.

Moreover, according to Chen Fan's speculation, it is very possible to complete the land reform plan of the Ming Dynasty.

Chongzhen firmly believed in this.

Although Chongzhen was very distressed by the land subsidy of billions of taels of silver.

In Chongzhen's view, subsidizing so much money is completely cutting the flesh of the court, and he is very reluctant.

Fortunately, Chongzhen remembered that Chen Fan had promised him before that he would bring tens of billions of taels of silver to the Ming court.

It was precisely in consideration of this that Chongzhen chose to trust Chen Fan.

What Chongzhen didn't know was that Chen Fan had already made plans for the subsidy wealth of the squires.

However, Chen Fan did not intend to tell Chongzhen about his plan to cut leeks, the less people knew about this kind of thing, the better.

Moreover, it is not easy for him to explain this kind of financial operation method to Chongzhen.

Even if he told Chongzhen exactly what the plan was, Chen Fan probably wouldn't understand it.

Instead of this, it is better to secretly manipulate the stock market without anyone noticing.

After Chongzhen was overjoyed, he quickly recovered from his dream of sitting on one billion acres of land.

He suddenly thought of a very critical question.

"My dear brother, you took all the land of the Ming Dynasty back to the imperial court, so what do you plan to do with the one billion acres of land you took back?"

Chongzhen was very puzzled, the land was taken back to the imperial court, and then what?
Is it deserted?
After all, according to your plan, if the peasants and gentry are moved to the capital, then no one will cultivate these lands.

Chen Fan shook his head lightly and explained to everyone:
"Speaking of this, we must first start with my national plan for Ming Dynasty."

"I said at the beginning that I planned to build the Ming Dynasty in two stages. The first stage is to concentrate resources and vigorously develop and build a modern capital. This process is expected to take ten years."

"And the second stage is to build other big cities in Ming Dynasty. Now the administrative area plan of Ming Dynasty is two capitals and thirteen provinces, so I plan to invest resources only in these fifteen cities. For example, the capital of Guangdong Province is Guangzhou, Just move all the population of Guangdong Province to Guangzhou Prefecture. The capital of Zhejiang Province is Hangzhou Prefecture, then move the people in the whole territory of Zhejiang Province to Hangzhou Prefecture.”

"Then put all the construction resources into these [-] big cities, which will also facilitate the efficient use of resources and avoid redundant construction. In this way, there will only be [-] super big cities in Ming Dynasty in the future, and there will be no other counties."

"In this way, there will be a strange scene. When you step into Hangzhou Mansion, you will see the high-rise buildings and the bustling bustling scene. Once you leave the scope of Hangzhou Mansion, it will be a desolate and dilapidated scene."

The connections between the fifteen major cities will be completed by highways, high-speed rail, and airports.

Such urbanization is unprecedented.

The reason why Chen Fan has such great ambitions is that he is confident in building fifteen super-large cities.

It's all about the mineral resources buried in the ground.

To put it simply, if you have money, you can do things generously.

As soon as the words were finished, everyone was deeply shocked by Chen Fan's urban planning and construction.

Even Chongzhen looked at Chen Fan in horror.

It was as if he had heard some strange talk.

Chongzhen admired the ingenuity of moving all the population of a province to the capital.

The virtuous brother can always speak amazing words.

"According to what the national teacher said, wouldn't the old man's hometown be gone, and we can only go to Yingtian Mansion to explore the hometown in the future?"

Li Banghua looked at Chen Fan with a complicated expression.

Fortunately, during the construction and development of Daming, not only did he have to relocate his whole family to the capital, but he also lost his hometown, so he couldn't even go back and visit him.

Li Banghua was born in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province.

Suzhou Mansion has always been the hometown of Li Banghua.

Now, according to the intention of the National Teacher, there will be no Suzhou Mansion in Jiangsu Province in the future, only Yingtian Mansion.

Li Banghua sighed heavily, for the construction of Daming City, his hometown will no longer exist.

He also didn't know if the situation was good or bad.

In short, Li Banghua's heart is very contradictory.

On the one hand, he also hopes that the common people in the world can enjoy a modern city life.

But on the other hand, he is very entangled with the disappearing hometown.

"Concentrate all the population of Ming Dynasty in [-] big cities. In this way, the land problem can be easily solved. All the land in the east and west should be bulldozed to form an endless plain, and then a special agriculture in the Ming Dynasty will be established. The company takes over this one billion mu of land and adopts mechanized planting of grain to improve efficiency and production."

In Chen Fan's plan, there is a large continuous plain, and thousands of machines are used to work together when cultivating the land.

It is definitely a spectacular scene to sow and transplant rice seedlings with thousands of machines.

Sprinkling medicine and fertilizer, and using hundreds of thousands of planes to roar over the plain, Chen Fan was shocked to think about this scene.

In the final harvest season, thousands of harvesters are lined up to harvest the endless grain in a uniform manner.

Such mechanized grain planting can definitely develop and utilize one billion acres of land to the extreme.

In this way, the entire Ming Dynasty will have endless food, and there is no need to worry about the common people starving.

In order to deepen everyone's sense of shock, Chen Fan also specially played a short video.

In the video, the vast northeastern plains are the breadbasket of China.

When the harvest season comes, thousands of harvesters drive forward neatly, and pieces of grain are automatically threshed into bags.

Such a miraculous scene deeply shocked everyone's hearts.

Everyone has never thought that mechanized agriculture is so efficient, and the harvest of food is obviously much more.

Looking at the dense grain, judging from everyone's vicious eyes, the grain income of that one mu of land is at least ten stones!
Realizing this, everyone lost their voices in shock.

You know, the best fertile farmland in Ming Dynasty is in the south of the Yangtze River, but the income from one acre of land is only two stones.

Now, one acre of land can yield ten stones of grain.

This is unbelievable, and it also means that the population of Ming Dynasty will usher in explosive growth.
