In the old days, the most important thing for a city was its location.

The surrounding resources, relationships with other cities, transportation, water, electricity and other infrastructure can be made up for later, but the innate position, the role and division of labor played in a certain power or country, are difficult to replace later in life.

.

To use a not-so-appropriate adjective, everything is a "historical process." The struggles of individuals and even groups are meaningless under the rolling wheels of history, but most of them only have the meaning of performance.

In the new era of cities, the most important thing is "safety"... How big a "safe zone" can a city bring to the surrounding area, and what is the quality of its safety zone?

The "safe zone" is directly converted into population. In this era of universal sword masters, population can be converted into combat power, which ultimately determines how large a circle of influence can be formed and how much external resources can be controlled, and then enters a new round of virtuous cycle.

The "safety zone" of a city is locked by the city's "space security field". Basically, how strong the core of that big city's spiritual weapon is, the upper limit it can eventually reach is high.

To put it bluntly, the stronger the "gods" killed when building a city, the higher the city's potential.

This is why Shi Qian City is regarded as one of the "Three King Capitals of the Eastern Continent" in the future. Where is the strength of Shi Whale, and where is the upper limit of the foreseeable improvement of Shi Qian City... It's just that it

The speed of evolution is still lower than many people’s expectations.

"We are missing a core from the beginning. It's like building a house that originally had three parts. One of the foundations was stripped away. It's not that there are only two parts that can't be stacked up. It's just that the site is not stable enough and the stacking is not high enough.

.”

With the return of the "Third Core", the complete Shiqian City silently began its own evolutionary path, which actually happened a few years ago.

When Zheng Li, the third core, returned, and when all the "guards" in that meeting arrived at their positions, its potential power was naturally activated, and many things were revealed.

What is known and cannot be concealed is the ever-expanding safe area.

The original ultra-safe zone of the first ring was directly expanded to include half of the second ring. The second ring was directly expanded to the third ring. The fourth ring... has reached the wilderness outside.

middle.

"Let's vote as soon as possible. Should the districts be redivided, or should we just create a fifth ring?"

The other side of the city's circular design is that as long as the radius/diameter increases, the total area will really increase geometrically. After preliminary estimates, this first wave of growth dividends will forcefully make the area within the fourth ring of Shiqian City

The total area increased by 17%.

Although the number is small, it is quite astonishing. This means that the living space has increased by nearly one-fifth, and the number of people it can accommodate is at least tens of millions more.

What's more important is that this expansion is actually growing slowly every day... Its growth has not yet reached its current limit.

"Personally, I think it would be more appropriate to re-divide the divisions. After all, the guards still have the important task of maintaining the safety of this area. Not to mention..."

When Li Zhenjun asked for his opinion, Zheng Li answered with a smile.

"...Anyone who prevents everyone from getting rich together will be kicked to death."

If the current area remains unchanged and there is an additional fifth ring, although there will be one more department and a group of beneficiaries, the existing forty-odd guards will not only not be able to reap the development dividends this time, but will also have some additional

Work and trouble.

Administrative areas do not need to be divided, but in fact, each expanded area still needs guards to shoulder the responsibility. If there are really more "local officials" in the Fifth Ring Road, the 24 guards in the Fourth Ring Road will probably have to bear their workload.

And if it is re-divided, it will be equivalent to everyone's cake... The territory will become larger, the population will increase, and the tax revenue will increase. The white land outside the city walls is virgin land waiting to be developed. Real estate can be developed and businesses can be built.

It can even use public welfare facilities. No guard can refuse this sweet 'responsibility'.

"Okay, then the matter is settled."

"Won't you ask 'who's opinion?"

"Oh, as you said, who would refuse such a good thing?"

Li Zhenjun didn't answer the question, but Zheng Li knew that he had no intention of questioning the "Second Pole"'s opinion.

This is not the first time. Now Li Zhenjun is using actions to express his attitude towards "political opponents".

The "isolation" caused by strength is a mountain that is quite difficult to cross, and these actions of establishing "enemies" themselves are also the "flag" to unite people on one's side. In today's Shiqian City, few people are willing to stand on their side.

On the other side.

I have to admit that the situation of the new speaker is quite bad. If nothing goes wrong, the vase leader may have to be in office for several decades.

"Okay, I will support you in the meeting."

Zheng Li himself also expressed his support for this development. During the current war, centralization of power is indeed higher than "freedom."

Something lies in the future. If Shiqian City can send more reinforcements in a few years, then it will be convenient for everyone if the authority of the "monarch" is higher.

The next day, the "relevant opinions on the re-division of urban areas" were quickly passed at an urgent meeting. The new speaker was notified only one hour before the meeting. Li Zhenjun's proposal was warmly welcomed by everyone, and there was only silence all the way.

The new Speaker's face turned green when he came down.

She, as the guard of the Central Ring, is probably the only unlucky person who cannot benefit from this reform.

But fortunately, she was not stupid enough to directly block... blocking all the guard's roads, which would really kill people, and it is not like Erji has never "died" in battle.

But at the same time, she also made a suggestion.

"The first ring has also been expanded a lot, and there are too many key facilities within the first ring. The existing defense force is obviously insufficient. I recommend the establishment of a new security department under the direct jurisdiction of the parliament."

This is because she wants to form a group of personal soldiers... But in exchange for politics, Li Zhenjun is not aggressive. It is ridiculous for a speaker-level boss to have no one under his command.

Yes, there is no one under him. The boss used to have a group of researchers under him, but now that he has been promoted into politics, he no longer has a previous department.

As the top leader of the parliament...the parliament is a special institution without direct subordinates. The extent of the authority of the speaker depends entirely on her personal authority. After all, the parliament is the gathering place of "public opinion". She may

You may not care about anything, or you may care about everything.

But everyone knows that with the expansion of "region", Shiqian City will enter a new round of golden development period.

As a political figure, doing nothing during the wave is tantamount to actively putting on the label of "incompetent".

So, she proposed to establish an armed guard, and naturally planned to do something...

From the perspective of the entire city, as long as she is not stupid enough to rebel, this should be a good thing. Li Zhenjun did not push anyone into a hurry and easily passed the proposal. From then on, there was a new police department and police department within the first ring.

An elite establishment of five thousand people.
