I am reborn as a lord in Rome

After Baker said the standard of compensation for the citizens, the faces of all the minor nobles present sank ......

The attitude of the townsfolk towards the relocation was the same as Woolley had expected—

the commoners had no opinion, because Woolley was buying the commoners' houses for five or ten times the price, and they were also giving the commoners the opportunity to make money, while the minor nobles were angry, because the compensation given by Woolley was only twice as much as the commoners—two hundred gold coins per household, and ten gold coins for each additional person with a population of more than ten people, not counting the slaves.

The minor nobles were naturally dissatisfied with the compensation standard for their reasons-regardless of status, their mansions occupied a larger area than the commoners' houses and cost more, and the compensation standard offered by Woolley was really a cabbage price, which was not enough for them to build a similar one on the new site.

"One last thing to tell you!" Baker raised his loudspeaker again, "According to Lord Woolley's arrangement, from today onwards, one hundred town managers in Salt Marsh Town will be officially opened, and their duties are to deal with behaviors that affect the town's image and environmental hygiene, and to deal with buildings and facilities that do not meet the construction plans and standards of Lord Woolley's new town

As soon as Baker's words fell, the training ground suddenly became noisy, and the townspeople scattered in all directions while talking, most of them were very excited, the salt marsh town has been depressed for so many years, and the former prosperity has become a legend, and it is a very good thing to witness a earth-shaking change in your lifetime.

The minor nobles "blocked" Baker at the first time.

"Lord Baker, this standard is not right!" "

I just read it according to Lord Woolley's wishes, and I can only guarantee that I am not mistaken.

"Lord Baker, this family has only compensated two hundred gold coins, and my house has lived in it for six generations, and the money spent on the house before and after is not a small number

, and two hundred gold coins is just a fraction!" "Pull it down, just your three-in-two open house, two hundred gold coins are enough to repair two, and you still want to be Baker?"

But Lord Woolley also has to be reasonable

, you can't be nonsense, right?" "Huh? You are still talking more and more vigorously, and you don't take me Baker seriously, do you? By the way, it's not just you, mine, and Tours' are all of the same standard, if you can't figure it out, you can talk to Lord Woolley, Lord Woolley has explained in advance, and you are welcome to go and give your opinion in person, but if anyone is bad behind your back, hum, don't say that Lord Woolley is not happy, it's me Baker, and I'm not a citizen, and I have to have fun with him! Baker said loudly, flicked his sleeves, and walked away surrounded by dozens of town managers, he didn't bother to talk nonsense with these little nobles, Lord Woolley said, to ask for more instructions and report more, now that the speech and propaganda are done, naturally I have to report first.

Baker's attitude made these little nobles a little blindsided, in their impression, in addition to being greedy, Baker always seemed to be smiling and temperless, and he was never tepid when he spoke, but today he was horizontal.

"Look at that face, it's holding back the bad. A minor nobleman spat at Baker's back.

"Why don't we go where to discuss it first?, and then go to Lord Woolley?" suggested another minor nobleman.

A small nobleman nodded immediately, some of them had seen with their own eyes the ruthlessness of Woolley's ambush of those bandits, and Baker had just dropped his words, so he came to the door so recklessly, and nine out of ten would be slapped back.

That night, the consul's mansion was meeting again, but Turce didn't attend, because he went to the city of Levington early in the morning, Woolley naturally knew what this guy wanted to do, but so what, not to mention that he now has the support of the Supreme Council and the Temple, even the Duncan family, there are also Nils behind the escort, Turce is just a small loach, what wind and waves can he withstand?

The main content of tonight's meeting was the planning of the new salt marsh town, and the consequences of rash action without planning were unpredictable, and with Woolley's temperament, he was never willing to do something that he was not sure of.

The meeting was still held in the courtyard, and the torches in the four corners provided the light for the humble but significant meeting, but at the beginning of the meeting, Woolley did not directly propose a plan, but gave a small lesson to everyone:

"As far as I know, there is no concept of 'urban planning' in the known Assyrian discipline, but in fact, this matter has always been done, studied, and constantly perfected, but it is not taken seriously due to the existing ideas and conditions.

"I don't think there is anyone here who hasn't been to the city of Lenewington, I believe they will have a good impression there, but I think the urban planning there is not very good, you can first recall the roads there, is there a feeling of too messy

and cramped?" everyone frowned and thought, and then nodded one after another, Woolley was right, the roads in the city of Lincington looked like cobwebs, but they were different in width and narrow, and many sections of the road were very cramped.

"But you won't find this kind of feeling in Assyria, because at the beginning of the construction of Assyria, the transportation problem has been fully considered, and not only that, but the Assyrian defense and sewage facilities are also the best I have seen so far. "

Urban planning should fully consider the engineering construction, economic, social and land use layout of the city and its adjacent areas, be forward-looking, and have accurate predictions for future development. It includes the layout of industrial areas in the city, the layout of building areas, the setting of roads and transportation facilities

, and the arrangement of urban projects, and the main content is spatial planning, road traffic planning, greening vegetation and water body planning...... "We should keep in mind a concept, urban planning is the basis of urban construction and management, without planning, there will be no construction and operation. Woolley said.

Baker applauded vigorously: "Wonderful! What Lord Woolley said is wonderful!" Woolley

was stunned and couldn't help glaring at him: "Beck, now is not the point of applause, listen carefully and keep quiet." A

somewhat restrained laugh rang out, and Beck, who had wanted to make a sycophant but didn't succeed, blushed.

"Go on, therefore, the construction of the salt marsh town must also be well planned, we must reasonably determine the development direction, scale and layout of the salt marsh town through planning, make overall arrangements for various constructions, and coordinate the contradictions and ...... in the construction of all aspects

" "Our purpose is to gradually develop the salt marsh town into a new town with relatively complete facilities, clean and beautiful environment, conducive to production, convenient life, and able to meet people's growing material and spiritual needs. Woolley smiled slightly, and his gaze fell on Baker. "Beck, it's time to applaud.

Baker was stunned, then grinned and applauded vigorously, and the rest of the people naturally applauded with smiles on their faces, because it was the first time that they felt that Woolley could be so humorous today.

Wonderful, Woolley, are you really sent by God? Gruul's eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Woolley, as far as he knew, Seneca or Assyria could not teach Woolley so much knowledge, so could there be any other explanation besides the gods?

"Tonight's meeting will be the beginning of a series of meetings, because we need to discuss a lot of things, because we must not only determine the specific location and land use of residential buildings, public buildings, public green spaces, roads and squares, but also determine the specific location and land use of salt industry, storage and other projects, as well as the location and land use of special lots and various auxiliary facilities, before the official construction, the plan and elevation planning and design drawings of the salt marsh town and the main road, temple and square must be ......made first."

Everyone listened, remembered, and discussed, but no one realized that Woolley's salt marsh town meeting was later hailed as the "birth meeting" of the urban planning discipline, and many of the things that Woolley proposed at this meeting also became the truth of the urban planning discipline, and of course, he became the "originator of urban planning" - these, even Woolley himself could not have imagined.

Early the next morning, sixteen representatives of the citizens of the eight households arrived at the consul's residence, and after a night of negotiations, they felt as if they had found an entry point for bargaining with Woolley.

But what they didn't know was that Woolley was actually ready to bargain with them, otherwise it would not have been possible to set the compensation standard so low. Of course, it is true that he is willing to bargain with them, but this does not mean that Woolley will be willing to accommodate them, but he has the intention of saving a little bit, and the lower he pushes the price, the more he will take the initiative.

Woolley's office was small, and Gruul was there, so in the end, only ten of the sixteen delegates were squeezed in, and there was basically no place to stand, and the remaining six had to stand in the corridor at the door, but fortunately, there were representatives in every household, so no one said anything.

After listening to the delegates' statements, Wu Lai frowned and pondered for a long time before he spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, you are obstructing the plans of the Supreme Council and the Temple, and at the same time, you are ignoring the vital interests of the four thousand citizens of Salt Marsh Town and the development of Salt Marsh Town. Everyone

looked at each other, and Woolley seemed to be a little insincere.

"Lord Woolley, we didn't think so......" said one of the delegates.

"But that's what you did!" Woolley immediately interrupted the delegate, "Assyria treats you well, and the salt marsh town treats you well, but what have you done for Assyria? Which of you have fought in the war? The city of Rincington is located in the great rear of Assyria, what are you doing when the front line is fighting? Stay at home, drink wine, eat meat, play with women, and eat the old books left by your ancestors! Now that the town of Salt Marsh has a chance to prosper again, you are not thinking about how to invest in construction with the townspeople, but only thinking about money, Money, money, do you only have money in your mind?"

Seeing Woolley's gaze sweeping over intentionally or unintentionally, Guru smiled slightly and said: "Lord Woolley, everyone should make some requests, although they have not made any decent contributions to Assyria, but their ancestors have shed blood and sweat for Assyria, just look at these conditions, take proper care, I think it is understandable." The

deputies nodded hurriedly, and said in their hearts that the financial officer understands the matter, where is it so domineering and arrogant as the consul.

"Gruul, you think so too?" asked Woolley.

"Yes. Gruul replied with a smile.

"Oh well. Woolley nodded and looked at everyone, "What do you think should be the appropriate compensation standard?"

"Lord Woolley, we have actually discussed it before we came, and we all hope that in addition to helping us build a house of similar size to the previous one at the new site, each household will also be compensated with two thousand gold coins, as for the population, we don't care. One of the delegates said apprehensively.

"Free?" Woolly frowned.

"Yes, it's free. Anyway, it has already been said, and the representative simply said, "Aren't all civilians free?"

"Civilians are allocated according to their needs, that is, the new houses will be owned by the town in the future, and they will not be owned by the commoners. "Of course, if you can accept it, I have no opinion.

"Not self-owned?" The delegates looked at each other, what is the concept of not owned? Isn't it possible to be driven away at any time if it is not self-owned?

Seeing that the scene was a little stiff, the Guru on the side said with a smile: "Lord Woolley, it seems that Lord Baker didn't fully explain your intentions yesterday, why don't I add to a few citizens?"

Woolley nodded.

"Citizens. Gruul looked at the delegates," The new town was demolished and the old town was rebuilt, which was agreed by the Supreme Council, and the two million gold coins that Lord Woolley had worked so hard to raise sounded like a lot, but the salt marsh town lacked everything and everything had to be built, and the most important thing was that after the town was subdivided, the construction of the commercial district still needed a large sum, and in fact it was not necessarily enough to spend, besides, according to Lord Woolley's plan, citizens who obeyed the arrangement could give priority to renting shops, what that means, I think everyone understands, it's a pity, Lord Woolley expressly forbade the officials of the town to do business in the town, or I will rent a few shops。 "

Shop? There are still shops to rent?" The attention of several deputies shifted again.

"The Treasurer of the Gruul has a point, you are citizens, the leaders of the Assyrian realm, and in some respects, you should be taken care of. "I can now promise that if you follow the town's plan, you will double the compensation for each household, and in addition, the shop will be rented first, and the rent will be reduced for two years." The

delegates exchanged glances, and they all saw the hesitation in each other's eyes.

"Why don't we go back and talk about it first?" one of the delegates suggested.

"Yes, yes, let's go back and discuss it first. Two delegates chimed in.

"Yes!" Woolley tapped on the table, "Tomorrow is still the same time, okay or not, you can come and give me a word, and besides, my conditions will not change."

"Very well, Lord Woolley, we'll trouble you again tomorrow. The delegates said as they withdrew.

After everyone left, Woolley shook his head with a wry smile and said to Gruul: "It seems that there is a bit of a miscalculation, these guys seem to be only interested in the store, and they are not yet enthusiastic.

"That's because they're short-sighted and don't see the future. Gruul smiled and asked, "My people have already set off, and they should be able to send the news back to the family within ten days, so I won't say much more kind words, the Kochi family is your eternal friend of the Glyndor family." "

You are already kind words, this is actually nothing, salt marsh town to develop, commerce, service industry is indispensable, the Kochi family, Seneca Tongji Alliance is the first to enter, can complete the salt marsh town business district in one fell swoop, although the town's population base is small, so that many things can not be seen, but I believe that in less than three years, the prosperity here will be no less than a city."

"I believe it too. "Whatever needs to be done, just tell me to, like let me convince the citizens."

"No, I don't. Wu Lai shook his head, "It really doesn't matter if they want to do me or not, because if they are willing or not, I will do it at my pace, not to mention, I still have a hundred town managers."

Guru was about to answer when there was a soft knock at the door, and then a nice voice came in: "Lord Woolley, I'm Nivea. "
