Huo Jing and Nangong Xiao took a look and found that it was similar to the planning of the imperial city of the Western Yan Kingdom.

The northern district of the Western Yan Kingdom's capital city was also home to the poorest people, and the largest slum was located there.

Nangong Wu pointed in the direction of the East District, "I want to build high-end villas in the East District, specifically for meritorious officials. There will also be a commercial street on the main street, and shops will be built separately."

The central administrative institutions were located in the western district: the Secretariat, the Chancellery, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Revenue, the Censorate, the Court of Judicial Review, the Capital Prefecture, the Hanlin Academy, the Office of Transmission, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Imperial Observatory, the Imperial College, and many other important institutions were all located here.

The entire southern district will be designated as a commercial street. If we want the people to become wealthy, they need to do business. As for how the houses will be built, we'll discuss that later.

She will change the names of those administrative agencies later.

After listening, Nangong Hong asked, "Sister Wang, should we build the inner city wall first, or the outer city wall first? What are the perimeters of the outer and inner city walls?"

"First, build the core inner city, with a perimeter of eight li for the inner city wall; the perimeter of the outer city wall will be five to sixty li," Nangong Wu said.

Huo Jing was taken aback. "The outer city wall is to be built over a perimeter of fifty to sixty li?"

Everyone was surprised.

The perimeter of the palace wall of the Western Yan Kingdom was more than six li, and the perimeter of the outer city wall of the imperial city was forty-five or forty-six li.

The city planned by Nangong Wu is much larger than the imperial city of the Western Yan Kingdom.

"Alright, let's build it according to your plan, Wuwu." Huo Jing nodded in agreement. "All the money from our Huo Family Chamber of Commerce will be used to build Runan City."

He would support his daughter in whatever she wanted to do, even if it meant selling everything he owned.

However, the Huo family's business guild has enough money to build an imperial city.

"Little sister, your brother supports you too," Nangong Xiao said.

He knew that the city his sister wanted to build was of great significance; it represented their family's declaration of independence to the whole world.

"Thank you, Father, Brother," Nangong Wu said.

Everyone present was excited when they heard that she wanted to build such a large city.

"So, we're currently in the South District?" Nangong Hong was still staring at the map, deep in thought.

"Sister Wang, the North District is the original inhabitants of Runan City; the East District is the residence of meritorious officials; the West District is an important government office. If the South District is only developed into a commercial street, then there will be fewer houses for residents to live in."

Now that we have established our own state and the court is treating us well, even more people will come to join us. It will be impossible to buy a house in the city to live there anymore.

"That's right, Runan is expanding northward, and the old town here is considered part of the southern district," Nangong Wu explained to them.

"There are more than 3,100 original residents of Runan City. Each household in the redeveloped area has a plot of land of four fen and a building area of ​​two fen. They can build three-story houses, which is enough for more than a dozen people. The houses are painted white. As for the two fen of courtyard, they can build east and west wing rooms or a kitchen, or of course, they can choose not to build one."

There are more than 3,200 households, each occupying 0.4 mu of land, which means they used about 1,300 mu of land. The area of ​​the North District is more than 2,000 mu, so there are 700 to 800 mu of land left.

These extra plots of land can be used to build high-end residential buildings. The residential plots are between one and two acres in size and can be sold to the public at very high prices, specifically for wealthy businessmen.

The East District is similar, with more than 2,000 acres of land. However, no matter how large the area is, the houses built there are reserved only for meritorious officials and high-ranking officials of the third rank or above. Any unused houses are left unoccupied.

"The government offices, the Imperial Observatory, and the Imperial Academy don't even occupy the entire western district, so let's divide it in two!" Nangong Wu drew a long line in the middle of the western district with a pencil.

"The south was for government offices, while residential houses were also built in the north, which were granted to officials of the sixth to third rank. The houses were also built according to their rank."

"Your Highness, the houses of ordinary residents in the North District are already three stories high. How many stories will the mansions in the East District be?" Ji Hongfei asked curiously.

"The houses for ordinary residents are built taller because their land plots are small, and three floors with ten or so rooms are enough for their whole family to live in," Nangong Wu said.

People here have many children; most families have more than ten members.

However, the building area of ​​a two-tenths of an acre is more than 130 square meters, which is considered a large house. Each floor has three to four rooms, enough for a large family to live in.

"As for the East District, those with a residential plot of more than two acres should build three to four stories, plus a basement, so that they can park their cars." Nangong Wu decided that everyone living in the East District would be provided with a car.

For example, the Flying Feather Guards who risked their lives for her—they deserve it.

She has tens of thousands of cars in her space.

However, due to fuel issues, the car can only be allocated to important people for the time being.

"Wow!" Ji Hongfei exclaimed excitedly. "Your Highness, I also want a house like that, and I want to drive a car too."

"Then take it based on your own ability." Li Zhan patted him on the shoulder.

"I will definitely make more achievements and strive to get a good house and a car." Ji Hongfei made up his mind to do more and perform well.

"Hahaha……"

Everyone laughed.

"Your Highness! Now that the plan is in place, where should we begin? Should we level the ground first, or should we dig up the stones?" Ji Hongfei was only interested in making a name for himself.

"Measure the land first, then dig the foundation." Nangong Wu's words silenced the room.

"Your Highness, please let me handle the measurement," Cao Bin volunteered.

"Your subordinate can also do it," Su Siyan replied, bowing in return.

Measuring a city is not something that one or two people can do.

Nangong Wu nodded, "Okay, let Eileen take you there."

The people here mainly rely on bows, ropes, and pacing to measure the land, which is too slow and inaccurate.

In that previous world, people measured land primarily using satellite positioning.

There is no satellite positioning here, so we can only use laser rangefinders or total stations, which are both fast and accurate.

"Besides that, we also need to build a cement plant first..." Nangong Wu explained her plan.

There is plenty of cement in the space, but the demand is large, and various constructions will be needed in the future, so it is necessary to open a cement plant.

During the time when Runan City was flooded, she patrolled everywhere in her helicopter and found natural minerals such as limestone, clay, and iron ore powder that could be used to make cement.

After the meeting, they all went about their own business.

Eileen, carrying a rangefinder, led Cao Bin, Su Siyan, and a dozen others to survey the terrain, first measuring out the central city and then marking it.

Nangong Wu brought out several bulldozers and excavators, and had Li Zhan, Ji Hongfei, and other Flying Feather Guards drive them to demolish all the remaining old houses.
