The super lord of the island

Chapter 312 311. Commercial street construction plan, food consumption?
Before Myron could take a breath, Aurora Castle issued the next construction task - a commercial street.

The commercial street is one of the key projects in the annual planning plan of "Three Key Points, Five Basics". After completion, the commercial street will provide a high-quality business environment and attract people for many self-employed households and businessmen who have moved to the sunless island independently.

When the plan was proposed, some management raised objections, believing that the functions of the commercial street and the exchange city overlapped, and they did not agree with investing a lot of manpower and material resources in construction. However, the plan was eventually passed.

Because in the subsequent analysis, most people believe that the commercial street is conducive to promoting internal demand on the island, increasing currency circulation, improving the business environment, and attracting more high-quality people from the outer islands to migrate to the island.

And after market research by the tavern manager Mike, who has a talent for business, he obtained accurate information. The functional overlap of the commercial street and the trading market is only 1/4, and the other 3/4 is the service industry, processing industry and the castle's self-operated goods.

Therefore, the advantages of building a commercial street definitely outweigh the disadvantages.

Mike also conducted one-on-one interviews with most of the self-employed businesses in operation and learned that they urgently need to be able to operate shops stably instead of setting up mobile stalls in their own homes, streets or squares.

Based on the above factors, the commercial street project was included in the annual planning key plan.

Now that the fence project in the Third Ring Road area has been fully completed, and the high-end residential areas in the Second Ring Road area are also nearing completion, it is reasonable to put the construction of commercial streets on the agenda.

Next, Myron needs to determine a preliminary plan for the commercial street, such as site selection, material selection, construction scale, house structure, and a series of details that need to be prepared in advance.

……

……

Time slowly enters July.

As the first day of each month, the castle usually holds a town meeting and invites municipal officials and direct relatives to a banquet to gather together to enhance relationships.

Today was no exception. After spending the busiest period in the morning, people came to the castle one after another and sat down in the spacious main hall on the first floor, waiting for the meeting to begin.

Because there was an in-depth discussion just the day before yesterday, Monday, there wasn’t much new content to talk about today. The meeting time was mainly focused on Minister Myron’s drafting of the commercial street plan.

Brainstorm.

"Look, everyone, there is a main road in the Second Ring Road. This road extends in all directions and connects everywhere. You can go up to the dock, down to the workshop, to the east to enter the First Ring Road, and to the west to go to the Third Ring Road. It is an excellent and unique road. business thoroughfare."

Myron spread out a huge piece of pieced papyrus on the table, drawing the general structure of the town on it, so that everyone in the meeting could see the location of the commercial street.

In fact, most functional buildings in the strip-shaped second ring area are built around this main road, such as city hall, libraries, high-end residential areas, pubs, workshops, etc.

It's just that Mailun took the core middle section of the road and included all these functional buildings within the radiation range of the commercial street, even the stone house area within the first ring.

“The location is great!”

"Yes, it will be much more convenient if you want to go shopping in the future."

"Hmm... That's good, but this is the main road that runs through the Second Ring Road. If the commercial streets are placed on both sides of the main road, and the flow of people and vehicles converge, will it cause traffic congestion, stranded transport capacity, and affect the efficiency of urban operation?"

While everyone was discussing excitedly, a voice poured cold water on everyone present. Jialan looked up and saw that the speaker was Maggie, the librarian.

She is a system figure summoned by the same group as Mike, Mai Beer, Mai Mo and others, and her talent is management.

"It is true that I was negligent in terms of transportation, but since it has been brought up, it is not that there is no solution."

Myron stood up and continued analyzing the drawings:
"Before building the commercial street, we can widen this section of the road to improve the passing range within the commercial street. Or we can plan freight auxiliary roads outside the commercial street to open up new roads for vehicles that do not need to stop on the commercial street. , direct access to the dock and workshop.

What do you think, sir? "

"Yes." Mr. Jialan nodded, "Both options are good. Plan them both. It is better to prepare in advance than to make temporary changes."

"Yes."

Mailun immediately made a mark on the piece of paper so that he could adjust the plan after returning.

After the site selection was approved, the meeting discussed the material selection. In the initial plan drafted by Mailun, a mixed structure of brick and wood was used, just like high-end residential areas.

Although this structure has many advantages, including being more durable than pure wood and less troublesome than pure masonry, Jialan did not agree.

"The commercial street is the most prosperous area in Aurora Town in the future. It is a landmark and a must-visit place for tourists. It represents the face of Aurora Town. It must be built with pure bricks and stones even if the cost is spared."

"understand!"

Myron nodded in agreement. Now that the lord has made a decision, the meeting will fast forward to the choice of size and structure of the house.

After a heated discussion, it was determined that the three-story stone house structure would be the main structure. Twenty buildings would be built in the first phase, and then the second and third phases would be added depending on the situation to ensure that no manpower and material resources were wasted.

After discussing the commercial street project, Jialan took out the drawings of the thousand-ton granary purchased from the mall some time ago and handed them to Mailun and mentioned the food issue.

"Currently, there is only one granary with a capacity of [-] tons in the town. Even if three stone houses are added, it can barely accommodate [-] tons of grain. Today, Aurora Town has [-] permanent residents, gradually approaching the scale of [-] people.

Who can tell me how much food eight thousand residents eat every year? "

After a moment of silence, Mai Duo, who had the most say, spoke.

"Sir, the food sources in the territory are rich and diverse. The residents' staple food is wheat, and there are enough sea fish, fruits, vegetables, and potatoes to eat together. Overall, wheat only accounts for about 60% of all food consumption.

In addition, every meal in our canteen is almost open and unlimited, and residents can eat as much as they can. Therefore, the average consumption of unit residents is very high, about 1.5 times that of residents on outer islands.

Therefore, each of our Aurora Town residents eats up to 600 kilograms of food per year. Calculating 2800% of wheat, the amount of wheat needed to be consumed is [-] tons. "

"so much!"

Master Jialan frowned. He did not expect that the current number of residents in Aurora Town would consume nearly [-] tons of wheat every year.

"Looking at it this way, our own output is even a bit insufficient. Do we consume so much?"

"Yes, sir, our territory has heavy labor and the workers consume a lot of physical energy. If they work overtime at night, they need to supplement their midnight snacks, resulting in high per capita consumption.

The residents of the outer islands are considered relatively wealthy families if they can eat [-] kilograms of food per person per year. The poor immigrants you recruited like me were basically hungry every day before they came here, and they were not satisfied with food when they were full. The demand is great.

However, the solution is also very simple. As long as the canteen is rationed for each meal, food consumption will be reduced by at least [-]%! "

At the conference table, Mai Duo vowed.
