Chapter 2358 The Status Quo of Sanya ([-])
"This road is well paved." Xu Yanliang looked at the road in front of him and was full of praise.Venus Zero throbbed with a comforting sensation under his ass.

The road is paved according to the standard of two-way four-lane, fast and slow lanes diverging. The road surface is paved with cinders, and the sidewalk is paved with stone and bricks. The paving is elegant.

Phoenix trees are planted on both sides of the road as street trees. Over the past few years, they have also grown lush.Cast iron gas street lamps stand on both sides - this is the infrastructure that no other place has except Lingao.The occasional flashing wooden poles painted with "Lingao Telecom" in white Song typeface indicate that there is still a telephone here - something that no other place except Lingao has.

It can be seen that the investment in infrastructure construction in Sanya has cost a lot of money, and the perfection of various infrastructure facilities is not inferior to that of Bairen City.

However, such a large investment obviously has no effect. On the huge road, only their two rickshaws and more than a dozen bicycles of the guards are driving.At first glance, I thought that traffic control was implemented, but it was rare to see one or two rickshaws and carts walking on the road.As for both sides of the road, although there are some buildings, most of them are still open.Vegetables and various cash crops are planted on many plots.

No wonder Tang Menglong said that the land here is worthless!

"No matter how well paved the road is, it's useless!" Tang Menglong said loudly, "I'm about to be cheated to death by these things!"

"how?"

"Let's talk at the city hall." Tang Menglong probably felt that it was inconvenient to talk while sitting in the car, so he waved his hand.

The convoy headed east along the east-west "Senate Street", crossed the Shiomi Bridge erected on the Sanya River, and came to "Longpo".

The buildings here are denser than those in Hexi. In addition to various "Australian-style" buildings, there are also some original building groups, which seem quite inconsistent.In addition to the artificially planted poinciana trees on both sides of the road, there are also patches of sour bean trees-some people in Hainan call it sour plum tree, but it is actually the tamarind tree, a sour spice commonly used in India and Southeast Asia.This tree plant is tall, can reach more than 25 meters.

Sanya Municipal Office is on this street.According to the original design, this is a five-story watchtower-style masonry building, which served not only as an administrative institution, but also as a fortress, shelter and warehouse.

However, when it came to the implementation stage, Wang Luobin felt that the diaolou-style building was too poor in practicality, and its appearance was too unflattering to be able to play the role of a "city government". Both materials and construction costs of the building were too high, so Ji Runzhi finally changed the plan on site and built a two-story brick and wood structure building with a bell tower in accordance with the American colonial style.The whole body was painted white with lime water

According to Ji Runzhi's plan at the time, the entrance of the city hall was a square, serving as a market and gathering place, and the two main streets were laid out in a cross shape with the square as the center.The main cultural, educational and administrative institutions of Sanya Special City are built around the square.

At this moment, standing next to the fountain and public water intake in the center of the square, at first glance, it really looks like a small town in the southern United States.

But if you take a closer look, the entire city hall square still reveals a lazy and decadent atmosphere of South American style: although the buildings are exquisite, most of them are somewhat damaged in appearance. The white walls of the city hall have turned yellow, and some places are simply peeling off.Expose the red brick and wood inside.There are few pedestrians in the square.It was quiet all around.

Xu Yanliang took the idea of ​​the signs hanging on the surrounding buildings in Guangzhou. There are quite a few agencies and enterprises that have set up branches here!However, the front doors of these buildings are very deserted, obviously there is no business.

Tang Menglong invited him into the office on the second floor.The office is large and elegant, with Regency-style latticed glass windows opening onto balconies overlooking the square.

"How about it? It's impressive enough." Tang Menglong said, "These are all left by Wang Gong back then."

"This style, in the 17th century, was considered the treatment of the first-class colonial governor."

"It's a pity! It's all wasted!" Tang Menglong complained again.

"You can't say that." Xu Yanliang comforted him, "It's nothing more than one step."

"It was done in one step at the beginning, and the follow-up maintenance cost is not small." Tang Menglong rang the bell while talking, and a maid with bright eyes and white teeth came in.

"Bring two bottles of kvass, chilled!"

Seeing Xu Yanliang's gaze wandering over the maid, Tang Menglong didn't care: "There's nothing to do in this damn place at night, why not..."

"I understand this, I understand." Xu Yanliang hurriedly said, "Everyone is a man, I understand."

"It's good if you understand. Many people in the Senate who are full and have nothing to do always say that I have many maids and children. If he is sent out for a few years, I am afraid that there are more maids and children than me!"

Xu Yanliang laughed a few times, and changed the topic: "Old Tang, you said that our Nanyang company moved here, where is the best place to set up its headquarters?"

"Didn't you annex the Southeast Asian company? The Southeast Asian company has a big local business station. It's in Hexi District."

"Hexi District?"

"Yes, the main urban area of ​​Sanya is Hexi District." Tang Menglong said, "We are in Hedong District."

He opened the curtain on the wall, revealing a map of Sanya.

"This is the overall plan of Sanya Special City that Ji Runzhi made at the beginning. Although the construction is in a state of semi-stagnation now, the general division is still in accordance with his design."

Xu Yanliang walked over and looked at it, secretly surprised.I thought to myself that the grand plan drawn by the Senate back then was really ambitious!

According to this planning map, the entire Sanya Special City is divided into six districts: Hexi, Hedong, Jinling, Donghai, Yulin and Tiandu.The specific plan is:

Hexi District: The north-south narrow strip on the west bank of the Sanya River and east of the coast is the commercial center and life center of Sanya City, and the Xintiandi Avenue (equivalent to the modern Jiefang Road) running through it is the most prosperous commercial street in the whole special zone;

Hedong District: The main body of this district is a north-south long and narrow island (Hedong Island) to the east of Sanya River and west of Linchuan River. This island is located on the east side of Hexi District, not directly adjacent to the sea. Administrative center and culture, education and health center; in addition, this district also manages the eastern suburbs to the east of Linchun River and west of Dagouling. This area is composed of parks, flower gardens, orchards, sports fields and middle-class villas;

Jinling District: Located in the Jinjiling area in the north of Sanya City, that is, on the north side of the Hexi and Hedong districts, the flat land here is relatively open, the water source is abundant, and the east side is also close to Tiandu, which can be used as a manufacturing development area;
The above three districts are directly managed by the Sanya Municipal Government.

Donghai District: including Dadonghai and Luhuitou, it is a recuperation area and resort directly under the jurisdiction of the Sanya Management Office of the General Office, mainly serving the elders;
Yulin District: Located to the east of Gouling and on both sides of Yulingang, including the Navy Yulin Base, Army Yulin Fort, Yulingang and storage areas, it is jointly managed by the military and the Port Authority;

Tiandu District: The area around Tiandu Town is a mining and metallurgy heavy industry area, managed by Tiandu Mining Bureau.

"Good guy, this is a city-level plan!"

"Who says it's not," Tang Menglong said with a wry smile.He also said: "If it is convenient to do things, the headquarters is on the side of the municipal square. The infrastructure here is the best, with sewers, gas lamps, running water...there are all there. The security force is also the strongest-a National Army squadron Stationed there. All entrances to the square will be closed at night, and there is absolutely no mention of security."

Xu Yanliang nodded, safety is indeed the first consideration.

"...All the agencies and enterprises of the Senate in Sanya have branches here, so it is easy for you to do anything. Telegraph office, post office, customs... You don't need to run back and forth. You don't need to make a phone call, just talk face to face." Tang Menglong He picked up the towel sent by the maid and wiped his face, "You should wipe off your sweat too! There used to be a veterans' club in the east wing of the municipal government, which was originally used for leisure by the veterans stationed in Sanya. Now it has been changed into a municipal government club. You don’t have to look for anyone you want to talk to, as soon as you call someone in the club at night, they will come.”

"Don't go home?" Xu Yanliang picked up a towel from his tray and wiped his face. The cold towel was filled with the refreshing fragrance of jasmine.Suddenly, I feel my heart is wide.

"Most people don't have wives, they live in dormitories and eat in cafeterias. Why don't you come to the club at night." Tang Menglong opened the cork of Kvass and took a few swigs. .Besides, after becoming a cadre, your vision will be different after all, and the girls from the farm in Sanya will look down on you..."

"It's good to have a wife, why don't you look down on me?"

"You don't understand," Tang Menglong said. "Generally, naturalized civilian workers are satisfied with having a wife. Those who can come to this club are all cadres and technicians of a certain level. Shouldn't you be more cautious in finding a wife? At least you have to be literate. Besides, some people have no plans to start a family here at all, they just plan to stay here for a few years to gain qualifications."

"Can you still call it 'boil' when you work here? This is a special city of the Senate, and there are only two in Hainan Island!"

"Hehe, look at the current state of Sanya - lifeless. The old Wang has been transferred away, and the elders have all run away, leaving me alone. The Guihua people are not fools. They want to go now if they have ambitions. Those who have made great achievements on the mainland; those who have no idea and want to live a good life, naturally Lingao is the best - no matter how bad it is, they have to go to Qiongshan. There is no plane tree, and the golden phoenix cannot be attracted. Just look at these transfer applications and you will know It is." He smiled wryly.

"This was originally a place at the ends of the earth. Yazhou used to be a place where prisoners were exiled. It is not easy to make the naturalized people change their minds for a while." Xu Yanliang persuaded, "Before Pudong was developed, Shanghai people said they would rather have a piece of Puxi. Bed, don’t want a suite in Pudong. When Sanya develops in the future, everyone will naturally be willing to come.”
