"Xiao Yang, you are planning to build two new sewage treatment plants that treat 100,000 tons per day. Isn't that a little too much?" Chen Zesheng asked in confusion. "The water consumption of urban residents in the north is less than that of urban residents in the south. I remember that many sewage treatment plants design manuals usually set the average daily water consumption of urban residents in the north at about 220l and the southern towns at 300l. That means a sewage treatment plant that treats 100,000 tons per day can be enough to treat sewage generated by nearly 500,000 people in the north. You can go to two at once. Including the sewage treatment plants owned by Tianqu City, it is the standard of 1.5 million people. There is no such population in our Tianqu city now. Isn't it a waste of money if you take it like this?"

Yang Jing smiled and shook his head and said, "Mayor Chen, the current population of our Tianqu city is 600,000, but what if the population of our city reaches one million or even exceeds it in five years?"

"How is this possible?" Chen Zesheng almost slapped the table and stood up to refute. "In the early 1980s, the population of our Tianqu city had already reached more than 400,000. After nearly 40 years of development, the population of our Tianqu city has only increased by less than 200,000. How could it be possible to double the population in just five or ten years? Xiao Yang, this is impossible." Chen Zesheng said firmly.

Yang Jing looked at Chen Zesheng and said without any concession: "Mayor Chen, when Pengcheng first developed, it was just a small fishing village. But after 40 years of development, the population of Pengcheng has now exceeded 13 million. With the addition of the migrant population, I am afraid there are 20 million people, right?"

"Xiao Yang, this is not comparable. Pengcheng is the business card of the country, and it is a special city developed with the resources of the entire country. How could our Tianqu reach the level of development of Pengcheng?" Although Chen Zesheng also wanted the city under his rule to develop into a first-tier city, Chen Zesheng was a senior official with real power after all. He had long passed the age of unrealistic and thoughtfulness all day long, so he knew that Tianqu could hardly replicate the development history of Pengcheng.

"Haha, Mayor Chen, I don't like to listen to you. Who said that our Tianqu cannot reach the development level of Pengcheng? What's wrong with Pengcheng? Pengcheng is nothing more than industry, commerce, and the tertiary industry have developed a little, and then the preferential policies have attracted people from all over the country to go there. If our Tianqu comes out of our own development characteristics, I don't believe that our Tianqu will not become the second Pengcheng."

Chen Zesheng shook his head slightly and did not argue with Yang Jing anymore. This kind of thing cannot be achieved by talking, nor can it be achieved by having money to invest. All aspects involved are too complicated, so there is only one Pengcheng in the whole of China.

Yang Zhengyu tapped the coffee table with his fingers, "I'm telling you two, what are you still arguing about at this time? How can our Tianqu develop in the future and how far can it develop? This is not our final say. It depends on what conditions Tianqu can have now and how far it can develop under such conditions. What's the point of arguing about this now?"

Yang Zhengyu spoke, Yang Jing and Chen Zesheng looked at each other, smiled slightly, and then continued to discuss.

But the more he discussed it, the more he felt the more shocked Chen Zesheng felt. If all that Yang Jing could really be achieved, Tianqu would have the foundation for extraordinary development.

"Mayor Chen, I think the four elevated roads cannot meet the traffic congestion in our Tianqu. I think at least two or even four elevated roads should be added. I also plan to build three subways and one light rail."

As soon as these words were said, neither Chen Zesheng nor Yang Zhengyu took a breath.

Yang Zhengyu couldn't help but ask: "Xiaojing, given the traffic conditions of our Tianqu City, I don't think it is necessary to build subways or light rails for the time being. According to what you said just now, if our Tianqu builds elevated roads on the main transportation roads, even if the population in our city doubles, it will be enough to cope with it. But the subway and light rails are also there, which is too expensive."

Yang Jing smiled slightly, "Uncle Yang, I said that funds are not a problem. Our Tianqu is not Yanjing or Quancheng. Our Tianqu’s geological conditions are far better than that of Quancheng, and our Tianqu’s area is much smaller than that of Yanjing. So even if three subways and one light rail are built, I estimate that the total number of kilometers is about 120 kilometers to 150 kilometers. If the construction cost of the subway can be controlled at 500 million national coins per kilometer, the construction of these subways and light rails will be less than 100 billion. This fund is not under any pressure for me."

Hearing this, Yang Zhengyu and Chen Zesheng stopped talking.

"Uncle Yang, Mayor Chen, according to my plan, I plan to build four to six high schools in our city. The situation in Tianqu is now that there are many junior high schools but few high schools. It is no exaggeration to say that it is not as difficult for children to get into college now as high school. Now children can go to college with almost as much money, but what about high school? Because of the limit on the number of our Tianqu high school, the proportion of children who cannot go to high school every year is not low among the graduates of junior high school students. This is not possible. Education is the foundation. As a native of Tianqu, I will never allow such a situation to happen again. I want our Tianqu children to enjoy twelve years of compulsory education in advance!"

Chen Zesheng and Yang Zhengyu both said this and both looked a little hot. As parents, they had troubled Tianqu City's rise and fall problem for many years, but they had no plans to solve it. This was actually a dereliction of duty.

"Don't worry, I won't let the city pay a penny for this. However, the faculty matter must be solved by you. I can hereby guarantee that as long as I am willing to come to Tianqu as a high school teacher, a building of 120 square meters!"

Yang Zhengyu and Chen Zesheng looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

"Also, water diversion from the Yellow River or from the South-to-North Water Diversion East Line Project requires you to solve this problem. In my plan, I want to transform Tianqu into a real northern Venice. If there is no water in a city, the attractiveness and style of this city will immediately double. In our next door, Dongchang City, looking at the urban water conservancy construction, that is a lesson for success. Dongchang can use the water water in the canal to carry out urban water conservancy construction, so why can't we? Don't forget that Dongchang only has one Grand Canal passing through the city, and what about our Tianqu? If counted, it is only a Grand Canal in Dongchang that passes through the city. What about our Tianqu?

In the easternmost Majia River, we have four rivers of considerable size that pass through the city within a short straight line distance of less than 25 kilometers! In the west, the Cha River and Jian River in the middle, plus the easternmost Majia River. If these rivers can be connected vertically in our Tianqu urban area, and at the same time connect several lakes and the reservoirs of the old water plant in the urban area to form dense waterways, then our Tianqu will definitely not lack the conditions to become Venice in the north. Then inject clear living water into these rivers, you two can imagine how charming our Tianqu will become!"

Yang Zhengyu and Chen Zesheng were both excited when they said this. Water is the source of life. A city with many rivers and clear water flows can definitely improve the city's image in more than one level in any aspect!

It's just this investment...

However, when he thought about the amount of terrifying funds the person in front of him had, the two parents could only keep silent.

Yang Jing continued to say something about what he was thinking. In the end, just this basic investment alone would cost almost the 100 billion US dollars.

"Xiaojing, I know you really want to change the appearance of our Tianqu. What you are talking about is the hardware foundation of the city. But if a city wants to develop rapidly, hardware alone is not enough. Otherwise, those famous tourist cities in China have developed long ago? It is not that with the power of the whole country, only one Pengcheng has appeared in the past few decades. Therefore, if we really want our Tianqu to soar, we must have corresponding software, that is, a large number of companies." Yang Zhengyu asked sincerely.

Yang Jing knew what his uncle Yang meant, so he said: "Uncle Yang, in fact, the reason why I wanted to transform the city face of our Tianqu on such a large scale is to plant sycamore trees and attract phoenixes. Hardware is the foundation of a city. If we don't make huge changes in transportation, embrace, environment, education, medical care, etc., then why should we attract those large enterprise groups to our Tianqu?"

Chen Zesheng asked, "Xiao Yang, I understand what you mean, but as Secretary Yang said just now, even if we successfully transform the city appearance of Tianqu according to your plan, how should we attract those large companies to enter our Tianqu?"

"Haha, Mayor Chen, I'll find a way to do this, but I need you and the two to approve me two pieces of land."

"Two pieces of land? Xiaojing, I have heard of SF Express, YTO Express, Shentong Express, and Debang Express, but I have never heard of these two pieces of land. How can I approve it to you?"

This little joke made the three of them laugh and relieved the a little solemn atmosphere just now.

"Uncle Yang, I want to build a large CBD area in the right place in our Tianqu, with an area of ​​no less than fifteen square kilometers. In this way, I can build a world's tallest building there, and at the same time, let those large multinational groups abroad that have close ties with our Dragon Fund set up their Huaxia branch here..."
