After Becoming a Little |

"Urban delineation is not a classification with a clear official definition. In many cases, it is confirmed by the GDP of municipal districts and various counties and towns below, and the confirmed intervals are always changing." Khaki shrugged wildly Shrugged: "In your opinion, there are many big cities worth investing in, and they are often first- and second-tier cities. That's just because our Republic has a vast land and abundant resources."

There are hundreds of cities in the fourth and fifth tiers, but there are dozens of first-tier and second-tier cities in total. Every city in the Republic means the concentration of millions of people, and there are even more cities in the first-tier cities like Dongshan City. A population of tens of millions.

"Then there is no fixed standard?" Alia, who didn't care much about these things, was suddenly a little curious: "For example, if you reach a certain income, you can reach a first-tier city or a second-tier city. Give the local a goal?"

"Yes, take the GDP of a certain international metropolis, which is generally No.1, and confirm a benchmark that belongs to a first-tier city—for example, Modu or Dongshan, and those that can reach more than 40.00% of it are first-tier cities, and Those who can reach 80.00% are the strong ones in the front line."

Spicy Chicken raised his eyebrows: "That is to say, the strength of the second-tier cities is only less than [-]% of that of Dongshan City? The gap between the rich and the poor is really big enough."

"In a more personal way, it's like this. Although I don't agree with the second half of your sentence, it is a fact that the second-tier cities actually only have [-]% of the GDP of the first-tier cities. The division between the second-tier cities and the first-tier cities Similarly, the first place in the second-tier city is often used as the judging standard, and the strong, medium and weak are divided into three grades."

Khaki wildly said with a smile: "Of course, you can also use a very simple method to classify—whether there is a large commercial airport or a high-speed rail, but if there is one of them, it means that the city's economic development will not be too bad , at least it can touch the threshold of third-tier cities, in fact, in China, third-tier cities are still relatively high positioning, most cities are still fourth-tier or even fifth-tier.”

Spicy Chicken was silent for a moment, and said softly: "The strength of Millikin is not because the most advanced city is more advanced than your country's big cities, but the most backward city, and it will not be much behind your big cities. …I mean everything, whether it’s supporting facilities or educational resources.”

When she said this, it sounded a bit bragging at first, but neither the wild khaki nor the strong brother refuted anything.

Most of the current public construction in the United States can actually be traced back to the 30s and 710s, and due to institutional problems, it is often difficult to start new repairs or constructions. For example, the [-] highway in Los Angeles, from design to The construction spanned decades, and the construction plan was even shelved in the end, because a city called Pasadena, which was originally crossed by this road, did not allow a modern road to destroy their old city flavor. Voting has never been able to get the support votes that can start work.

However, this does not mean that the old cities of Millikin are behind the times. The words of Spicy Chicken Silk make it very clear that even the backward cities of Millikin are actually because of the most advanced productivity in Millikin, and the overall living conditions are not good. It will be much lower than the so-called big cities.

Lianhua also woke up, walked over with Xiong Loli by the hand, looked at the city scenery outside from the window, and finally shook her head: "The first-mover advantage of the city is offset by the slow progress of development... Only the first-tier cities, It can continue to expand and develop while maintaining the first-mover advantage.”

In Blue Star's Republic, there are only seven first-tier cities, except for the four giants that Alia knew well, they are Xiangjiang, Jinmen and Dongshan.

It was difficult for Aliya herself to understand which city Dongshan City belonged to in her original memory-because it has the shadow of several cities, but none of them completely match the name.

The new Baiyunqiao International Airport obviously belongs to the original Guangdong Province, and the terrain and orientation of Lingnan are very suitable.

However, the location of those super ports and financial cities in Linhai overlaps with that of the devil—especially the venue of the World Expo, which has a strong shadow of the magic city, and the inner flavor is not ordinary...

If we only look at education, such as institutions of higher learning, we tend to prefer Jinling, but the birth of Dongshan University is completely out of line.

To be honest, the existence of Dongshan University is too weird, so weird that if it wasn't for Aliya who was in it, she would even wonder if this is a utopia reflected by a supreme existence that can affect reality—even though Xu Shao This kind of stuff is inside, but the entire Dongshan University is still filled with the brilliance of an ideal country.

So it is very likely that this is another parallel world, which replaced Jinling from the geographical and administrative level, and annexed a part of Guangdong Province and Shanghai, a city in the Suzhou area—full of similar Clarks specially set up for the existence of the protagonist. The 'metropolis' of the site is like a city, and even the main activity area of ​​Dongshan University is specially deployed.

Compared with Dongshan City, the protagonist's habitat, Tianyang City is much smaller, with a population of less than 300 million. As Khaki Wild said, it is an ordinary prefecture-level city that doesn't even count as a third-tier city.

As an important transfer station of the Maritime Silk Road, Tianyang City has a long record in history. A civilized society can even be traced back to the Han Dynasty. If it is not a civilized society, it can go back to the late Paleolithic to the early ancient times in the new era. Human Cave.

Every city in the Republic is like this. If you shake up the local annals and county annals, you can pull out a glorious past.

From the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Song Dynasty, it was used as a commercial sea port. The sensational shipwreck of Tianhai No. [-] was discovered not far from Tianyang City. It is a pity that the times are developing, and the original Tianyang City The excellent conditions have been completely suppressed by Dongshan City, which is not far away.

In this new century of centralized urban development, it is understandable that the choice of resource pooling is better, but when it comes to local development, it can only be that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

The khaki wildly jumped out of the RV and stretched his waist: "At any rate, it is backed by a super-giant international city like Dongshan City. Although our side looks ordinary, it is much better than some resource-exhausted cities in the Northland."

"But it's too good." Lianhua looked at the hotel in front of him and sighed: "Your city has already started to consider industrial transformation more than ten years ago, right? Vigorously develop the tourism industry, trying to change from the original light industry to intensive manufacturing. Industrial transformation to the tertiary industry..."

"Did you see it? I think so. Let's play with beaches, hot springs, etc. After all, Tianyang City has resources in this area."

"I can see that this hotel is a style that was popular more than ten years ago, imitating the Baroque style." Lianhua carefully looked at the surrounding hotel annexes: "There is no own context and no local folk customs. During the period of rapid development, they were piled up purely to meet high-end needs... If this is the best hotel on your side, then I can probably see the degree of development of your city."

"Actually, I can see it too." Aliya touched her eyes shamelessly: "It's a pity that I can't see it now, so I won't discuss this topic with you for the time being."

Is this the genius of Alchemy Star?Everyone is so arrogant?

"This is indeed the best hotel. I had great expectations at the beginning. Unfortunately, after more than ten years of development, Tianyang City has only slightly improved on the original basis. I don't see much improvement. Foreign investment took root."

"Danghuangyuan?" Spicy Chicken read the name of the hotel, somewhat disgusted: "The name sounds nice, but isn't this decoration style too rustic? I still like new hotels with a simple style."

"This is already the best hotel in the urban area." Khaki sighed wildly: "The fourth-tier cities are like this. It's not too far behind, but in terms of how new and trendy it is, it will definitely not be able to keep up with Dongshan Those places in the city... In addition, the hotel under the command of your Millikin is not much better than this tacky style, all of them are equally resplendent."

"That's different. It's a new kind of beauty when it's resplendent to the extreme, but yours is too old." Spicy Chicken Silk muttered.

Everyone stood there for a while, and Spicy Chicken was no longer obsessed with this problem, but followed everyone to the direction of the hotel.

In fact, Tanghuang Garden itself covers a very large area. The surrounding greenery and parks can be regarded as part of the hotel itself, but the main building of the hotel is a large palace-style building that was built in a few years. Years of wind and rain, even the obvious mottled mottled traces of the years can be seen on the outer wall of the palace.

It is not a stain that can be solved by simply cleaning it. If Lotus were to break it down, it would even involve the general infrastructure strength and building materials in the country at the time—just like the mosaic with a sense of age in the old city The veneer and terrazzo exterior walls reflect the shimmering waves against the waves of the long river of the times.

"This is actually a rather embarrassing problem. Relying on the advantages of the geographical environment in the early years, these cities in the south built and grew rapidly in the initial stage of development." It seems that they have noticed the gaze that Lotus has been staring at the hotel. Khaki Se Kuangfang was a little helpless: "But at that time, most of the high-quality commercial geographical resources were occupied, and the buildings or supporting facilities constructed from it often seemed out of date in the next ten years or so."

"Speaking of it, I feel that some new cities in the northwest and southwest regions are newer than the current second-tier and third-tier cities in the south." Lianhua nodded: "Sometimes the advantage of being late is not necessarily worse than the advantage of being first, especially the first-mover advantage. When the development advantage cannot be stabilized.”

Some buildings in backward areas, because of the relatively late construction time, have taken advantage of the latecomers. After absorbing the experience of these pioneers, coupled with the improvement of infrastructure strength, the re-planned and constructed supporting facilities are quite a bit like a big city. At first glance, it is even a lot more advanced.

"...Why do you all understand so well?" Aliya was puzzled: "Shouldn't we talk about adults?"

"A topic for adults?" Brother Qiangqiang rubbed his chin, then turned to look at the spicy chicken beside him: "What do you think is the investment here?"

"It seems that tourism here is more powerful... Is there any manufacturing industry? If foreign capital invests, the manufacturing industry is easier to create jobs, and the local government will have a lot of policy support, but the financial sector is severely restricted."

"The metallurgy is not bad. Tianyang City is famous for making knives. There are even records of counterfeit products killing the original factory."

"I will take a look at related industries in a while, but if I want to become bigger and more competitive, I still need to integrate the industrial chain."

"Industrial chain or something, I think going to the high-tech industrial park may be rewarding. If you find a partner with college students, there should be college students' entrepreneurial support..."

"In terms of metallurgy, our Song family actually has a lot of suitable formulas, including those related to light and heavy industries. If we want to segment the market, we can provide some technical support, and then..." Even Lianhua also interjected, acting like a Qualified adults.

So Aliya, who was out of tune with them, fell to the end, and the whole person fell into self-doubt.

Now the young people of Blue Star...are they so scary?

A small figure walked up to her and looked up at her: "Hey, what are you thinking?"

Fortunately, there is also a cute bear loli toy, Aliya lowered her head: "Little bear, your sister—"

"My sister actually pays more attention to urban construction and the accumulation of latecomer advantages. I have read her notes. In her opinion, some so-called second- and third-tier cities after 30 to [-] years, relying on latecomer advantages, can even grow from first-tier big cities. Cut off a piece of meat from the body, after all, after the development of a first-tier city to a certain extent, it is always limited by the city's capacity, and has to adjust the industrial structure to get a share of the pie—for example, the relationship between a certain Anxin district and the imperial capital."

Aliya blinked, and for a moment she didn't know how to answer.

"not me……"

"The land cost of demolishing a street in the imperial capital can demolish half a district in other nearby places, not to mention those public pipe networks that have been erected early and cannot be modified. The cost of modification is more expensive than the new construction." Xiong Xiong Luo Li sighed, and she seemed to be quite adult: "Coupled with the increasingly heavy cost of living in the first-tier cities, the decline in consumption is almost an inevitable problem... Now some young people return, coupled with the new The various preferential policies for talent recruitment introduced by the cities themselves will, to a large extent, be transformed into dividends for the development of second- and third-tier cities in the future. At this time, investing in these cities, if the investment line is stretched and diluted, is actually a kind of bottom-selling.”

"..."

Aliya didn't speak for a while, and finally just looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh, which was quite deep.

These cognitions are actually not partial knowledge for the friends of Dongshan University, and it is not too difficult for Aliya herself to understand-after all, she is the leader of the legion and human race who has been in a high position all her life. Human nature is inseparable, and the development of cities has repeated the same changes since ancient times.

Bai Juyi who said it was not easy to live in Chang'an at the beginning, isn't he like the current imperial capital Bei Piao?

But the problem is that our Big Four of the new generation of Blue Star are positioned as a youthful and energetic sand sculpture group!You are so serious that I feel that the character design is difficult to maintain, doesn't it? !

Fortunately, the arrival of little nun Liguang gave her a little confidence, so the two of them chatted about the so-called flying sword and the possibility of mind control under Xiong Luoli's bewildered expression...

The rooms in Tanghuangyuan are actually quite expensive, and the four-figure average price per night is worthy of the title of the best hotel in Tianyang City-of course, it is not expensive for spicy chicken shreds. If it weren't for Aliya's objection, she would have directly booked the entire hotel.

In the end, everyone only settled on the top floor, and after the khaki wild set up the group of friends, they received a call from home and hurried back.

"Aya, what are you looking at?" In the room, Lianhua, who put down her luggage, looked at the back of Aliya standing by the window, a little puzzled: "It's quite windy outside."

The Tanghuang Garden is surrounded by mountains on one side and faces the lake on the other. The natural environment is very good, but the premise is that it is summer.

Even though Tianyang City is a southern city in winter, there are still howling cold winds - most of the coastal cities in the south are like this, no matter how hot summer is, there will be refreshing sea breeze, and no matter how high the temperature is above the horizontal line in winter, there will be shaving The cold snap is very contradictory.

"I can't see, but I'm thinking about two things." Alia didn't turn her head, and tied her hands in front of her body, letting her bright red embroidered cloak flutter in the wind on the window sill: "The two things I have to do in this city thing."

"Ah?" Lianhua was stunned for a moment: "Aya, you came here, isn't it because of... um, I mean, isn't it Miss Bernice's proposal?"

"It's normal for Mala Jisi to want to see Wild's family background. Although Wild always says that his family is an ordinary family, do you know who his grandfather is?"

"……Who?"

"The person in charge of the Zhuang Palace back then, codenamed "Overlord"...he existed in the same era as the fairy sister. I doubt that the other party knew something about the secrets of the year, about the master of the fairy sister, about the Huanxi Temple, or simply Talk about the ghosts and monsters in the countryside on the land of China before the founding of the People's Republic of China. "

"Zhuang Gong? Is it some kind of organization?"

"It used to be, but it was gone a long time ago. Mr. Zhuang is considered to be the last lord of the Zhuang Palace——I want to see some things passed down by the wild family, maybe that will give me useful clues."

In comparison, she has already seen the secret treasure of Huanxi Temple, perhaps because Huanxi Temple created the Wang Gongchang explosion, which led to the loss of inheritance or items related to extraordinary power. Although some collections are still priceless, they are already biased towards normal items.

What Aliya wants is the one related to the different world, or the one with obvious mysterious color-she doesn't believe that the Europa region can keep a copy of the obvious singularity like Neuschwanstein Castle, and the older millennium of the Republic Inheritance is really nothing.

Dongguan, Zixiao Palace, Mount Emei, Tianshi Mansion and even the headquarters of the Northern Bureau of the Ninth Bureau are actually within her target range.

In comparison, the wild khaki hometown was once the birthplace of Zhuang Gong...

"Then besides looking for things? What's the second thing Aya wants to do?"

"The second thing is to find something." Aliya turned her head and gestured to the TV in the room with her chin.

Because the room card was plugged in and powered on, the TV automatically turned on, and began to play regional tourism advertisements according to the usual process—from this point of view, Tanghuangyuan still has the service style of an old hotel, and it is pervasive. Money, just very trivial but also very hard.

Lianhua turned her head subconsciously, and the TV was telling the relics of the ancient shipwreck of the Song Dynasty, Tianhai No. [-], and the huge Maritime Silk Road Museum built right next to the relics with impassioned voices.

"... the Tianhai No. [-] shipwreck?"

"Yes or no, before, I had a discussion with Kuangfang about the Awa Maru." Alia thought for a while, and raised a finger: "At that time, what I cared about was actually the Beijingers on the Awa Maru. The skull, but when I checked the relevant information, I found a very strange place...of course it is not about the Awamaru, but about Tianhai-[-]."

"Where?"

"The salvage of Tianhai No. [-] is too loud." Alia shook her head: "I suspect that the authorities are not just salvaging a sunken ship, and the Maritime Silk Road Museum may not be as it seems on the surface. Simple."

"..."

……

……

Khaki wildly returned to his hometown, entered through the back door where no one was there, and looked helplessly at the room covered with a thin layer of gray.

Grandma is old, and my parents are doing business in other places, so it is troublesome if there is no one to clean the house...

He put his luggage away, listened to the sound of clinking cups coming from the living room downstairs, and couldn't help grinning.

Uncle is back...

He thought about whether he should find an excuse to slip away first, and wait until his parents came back tomorrow, but after thinking about it, he still rubbed his forehead and went downstairs, looking up at the few people sitting in the living room.

His hunched-backed grandma was sitting at the table eating silently.

His red-faced, alcohol-smelling uncle who spoke incoherently.

And a neighbor who was bragging about by his uncle - and his uncle's third child, his seemingly honest cousin.

Compared with his own parents who only had one child, Khaki Wild Fang really admires his uncle's fertility - in the era of family planning, he gave birth to five...

Although the fines and the like are very scary, not to mention the old bottom of the old family, and the brother's belongings are also cheated.

Khaki's wild father was forced to sell the foundation that he had worked so hard to create because of the bondage of these brothers.

It's just that it was a long time ago, and Khaki Wild didn't take it seriously, and didn't have much resentment.
