Chapter 195 City Expansion (Fourth Update)
"I thought you would turn the original small town into an inner city, and then expand the city in parallel to form a larger circular city wall."

Luther shrugged and said.

"If you design it like this now, the city will become a weird city." Luther looked at the small circle on the blueprint again, and felt that the design surrounded by a large circle was unreliable.

"Tear down the original city wall." Lu Luxiu picked up an eraser, and then painted out the small circle inside the big circle.

In other words, the newly built Pompeii will not have an inner city.

The original old town will become the southern corner of the new city.

"Isn't this a waste? To tear down the original old city wall takes a lot of effort, and also removes an inner city, which relatively reduces the city's defense."

Luther felt a little dissatisfied.

"Then what should we do? If we expand parallelly into a circular city according to the old urban area, it will inevitably include many farmlands that have been developed in the south, causing harm to farmers. We might as well expand to the north and take the forests in the north After all the felling is completed, it will be completely connected to Barton Territory."

"As for the defense of the inner city."

Speaking of this, Lu Luxiu showed a strange look on his face.

"If a metropolis is for war, it might as well not be built."

Luther shrugged, it sounded like there was no way to refute it.If one day Pompeii needs to rely on Pompeii to resist, then Pompeii is probably not far from extinction.

It was a metropolis, a thriving huge market, the political, economic core of Pompeii.

Better never to go to war.

And what Lelouchu said was right, if the city expands outwards in parallel, it will definitely cause damage to the Pompeii villages in the south and the farmlands of twenty villages.

Agriculture, which has been developed by all means, will also be destroyed once.

Might as well expand north.

And the price is just to hire a group of people to tear down the original city wall, which looks like a good deal.

Although the current construction of Pompeii is mainly based on Lu Luxiu, the mayor, if Luther does not take the case, then Lu Luxiu will not be able to do anything.

Now that Luther has agreed, the direction of the expansion of the city has been decided.

Putting this matter aside for the time being, Luther said to Lu Luxiu: "I have already discussed with my partners. The city hall needs to plan a little land for them to manufacture factories and allow them to develop real estate."

Luther told Lu Luxiu what happened.

"In the future, the expansion of the city, the prosperity of the manufacturing industry is a must. No city can rely on real estate to survive. I will spend some time planning an industrial area for them."

Lu Luxiu nodded and said.

"Industrial areas must be planned, but there is another point. In the future planning of my city, there must be a low-age school at a certain distance, and there must be an area for the construction of higher schools."

Luther said seriously.

"Luther, I know that you plan to build a series of higher schools to compete with the Royal Capital and big cities like the Golden City for students, so as to make the city more prosperous. But what's the use of low-age schools?"

Lu Luxiu was a little puzzled.

There are two types of ordinary schools in this era.

One is the low-age school, which is officially called "lower education school."

One is "School of Higher Education."

For example, Kuba, Brown's alma mater, Royal Business School is an institution of higher learning that specializes in cultivating business talents.

There are as few high-ranking schools as there are low-ranking ones.

There are so few schools of higher education that need no explanation, but why are there so few schools of lower education?
The answer is that nobles in this era are more inclined to hire tutors. For example, Luther grew up under the education of Mr. Qiao Xiu.

Only when the nobles could not afford to hire tutors would they choose to send their children to low-education schools.

The most important thing is that civilians in this era basically do not go to school.

Luther wants to make some changes in this regard, and he will invest a lot of money in education.

Luther's future territory construction plan will be very grand, which requires a lot of talents, not only knights and wizards, but also many ordinary talents.

Luther felt that investing money now to allow common people to obtain the right to receive education would provide a huge impetus for the development of Pompeii in the future.

In other words, invest first and make money later.

This business will never lose money.

However, Luther rarely explained to Lu Luxiu this time, because he knew that even if she said it, Lu Luxiu would not understand it very much.

Before Luther came along, no one cared whether commoners could have knowledge.

Hey.

"I think my metropolis will have a lot of middle class in the future, and there will be a lot of people who need to go to school. It is always right to keep more schools."

Luther shrugged and said.

"Ok."

Lu Luxiu felt that this reason was very reluctant, but he still agreed.But it's just leaving a little land, it's not a big deal.

................
Three days later, a sunny afternoon.

West of Pompeii.

There is a small piece of farmland here, which belongs to the sixth village of Pompeii.If the plan to expand the city is implemented this time, the farmland here will be included in the city system.

And beyond the farmland is the forest, the endless deep forest.

Some people were active at the edge of the forest, including a team of guards, some city hall officials, the most important ones were Luther, Amanda, Alice, and Lelouch.

Lu Luxiu was wearing a round hat and wrapped in thick clothes, holding a blueprint in his hand.

At this time, the wind was a bit strong, and Lu Luxiu had to cover the hat with his hands from time to time to prevent it from being blown away.

"From here, go west five kilometers, and I planned a piece of land there for Miss Amanda to plant mulberry trees and for Miss Alice to build a pasture. But because the price of the land sold to you two is not high, the municipal government The government will not help you cut down trees, you have to hire your own workers to solve it.”

Lu Luxiu said.

"Why is it so far away? How many workers do I have to hire to cut down such a large deep forest?" Alice was a little dissatisfied, with her hands crossed over her chest, which further accentuated the magnificence.

She is a wealthy woman.

Whether it's books or money.

"Because this is the second expansion of the city, if there is no accident, there will be a third expansion. First choose the land of you and Miss Amanda in a far away place, so as to avoid the third expansion of the city, which will cause damage to your industry. Trouble. Especially Miss Amanda, once the mulberry tree is successfully planted, it will have countless years of economic benefits."

Lulu Xiu explained.

This explanation was barely okay, and it would be very annoying for Alice to think that if the city continued to expand, she would have to move her pasture again.

"Then the industrial zone will be set up nearby?" Luther stepped on the land under his feet with great interest. It is still a farmland, but in the near future, it will become an industrial zone.

It would be the heart of Pompeii's manufacturing industry.

"Yes, this will be the future industrial zone." Lelouch nodded.
