Things from Another World - Chapter 755

[755.Chapter 753 National Mobilization Order]

In fact, according to the current plan, bus cards are not necessary because Purandar does not have such developed credit card consumption capabilities. The crystal card of Star Diamond Bank can only be used by swiping cards in fixed shops that have opened payment channels, so many people will use it when going out. I am used to carrying a money bag, and I will carry some copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins.

Even if the bus is priced, it is estimated that only change such as copper coins or silver coins will be used, so a bus card is not necessary.

But then again, it would certainly be better if the current Ellington ID card could provide bus card payment services.

In this way, more people will be willing to take the initiative to apply for identity crystal cards and register identity information. This will not only reduce the pressure on the municipal government to collect resident information, but also facilitate the screening and management of personnel by Ellington’s intelligence department.

Therefore, this aspect cannot be left to Star Diamond Bank.

Tang En said with a smile: “Thank you, but we don’t need the services of Star Diamond Bank in this regard.”

“Are you sure? My friends, our technology can relieve you a lot of stress!”

Galian was a little anxious. , although it is still unclear what Twain is going to do, but since he took over Ellington, he has never done any loss-making business, and Gallian does not want to miss this opportunity.

“I’m sure.”

Tang En spread his hands and blocked his words.

Ellington’s current identity crystal card is equivalent to China’s ID card on earth. It contains personal registration information, name, age, gender, birthplace and even occupation information, as well as a unique number. The most important thing is the crystal card. It also records each person’s unique mental power fluctuation information. Although it is nothing for the time being, when the scale increases, mastering this information is equivalent to mastering the whereabouts of these people, which is very important.

The furious Gallian left, and Tang En smiled faintly at Ai Zhuo Kamanda and left directly.

In fact, allowing Star Diamond Bank to enter the bus system will help alleviate the economic pressure of the Datang Chamber of Commerce, because urban buses, as a form of convenience welfare, are actually in a state of loss most of the time.

On earth, because bus companies have to bear the burden of free bus rides for the elderly in cities, pay many employees’ wages, maintain cars, and pay for gas, buses in big cities are constantly being updated, and they also need to maintain low fares, so bus companies Most of them are operating at a loss and need government subsidies to continue operating.

In Purandal, although the magic modified bus created by Tang En is powered by magic energy, a standard magic crystal can support travel for thousands of kilometers, which is equivalent to being able to work continuously within the city for nearly a month. It seems that It seems to be very energy-saving, but the current price of standard magic crystals on the market has risen to 85 gold coins. If the ticket is set as one copper coin, at least 850,000 people must be transported every month to ensure no loss. According to Judging from the current per capita density and travel demand in major cities in Purandar, this number is undoubtedly a fantasy. I am afraid that the newly established bus companies will enter a state of loss.

But if the fare is set at one silver coin, residents may prefer to walk or ride a bicycle.

In summary, it is a good idea not to formulate a pass and sell tickets based on the distance between bus stops.

I found Fiona and mentioned the bus pricing to her. Fiona also very much agreed with Tang En’s proposal. No matter whether the price is too high or too low, it is not appropriate. Only the range pricing method is the best choice. At the end of the conversation, Fiona asked another question.

“If the urban bus system is launched, it means that the road transportation reform has officially begun. Then when do you plan to bring private cars to the market?” “It is not the time yet

. Launching the magic car now will only cause chaos on the streets and wait for people to slow down.” Slowly get used to it and wait for the bus. It is more appropriate to launch it when you know how to abide by the traffic rules.”

“Okay, you have the

final say.” Fiona looked indifferent, although everyone knew that the magic car would be very profitable, but what? It’s not her who has the final say when it comes to making money.

“By the way,” Fiona knocked on the table and reminded Tang En: “The Ellington lighting project you mentioned will officially start in the next two days. Do you have anything to add?”

Ellington lighting project It was a project proposed by Down after the completion of Preston Glass Factory, aiming to replace leather windows and cloth windows with glass windows.

Not only Ellington, but the windows in other areas of Purandal are basically covered with leather or cloth, but on the one hand, these things do not transmit light, and on the other hand, they leak air, which is very inconvenient.

Only a small number of wealthy nobles could afford crystal windows, so Tang En proposed the Ellington Lighting Project. The mass production of cheap glass could fully meet this demand.

And what is certain is that as long as the window replacement trend starts here in Ellington, the businessmen who stay here to look for business opportunities will immediately catch the wind and bring this trend to other places, and the glass industry will soon spring up like mushrooms after a rain. The same rose from the ground.

Of course, the glass industry is nothing, but what is important is what it represents. People here will notice for the first time how huge the impact of large-scale industrial production has on the market, and they will also understand that leading technology can enhance competitiveness. How many benefits.

People will gradually get used to this change, adapt to the change, and join in it.

What Tang En wants to see is a vibrant world, not a world of stagnant water.

Following the order that flew out from Yalinx a few days ago, major cities in the Illrus Empire have begun vigorous transformation. Its scale is huge and its scope of influence is far beyond ordinary people’s imagination. This is A transformation that spread across the country, and all the major cities in the Illus Empire were involved in this operation.

The only advantage of feudal society is that, as the king, Tang En’s people are obliged to pay for the king’s orders – during the transportation transformation process, Tang En did not even have to take care of their food, and the labor was free!

However, considering the long-term plan, Tang En took advantage of this opportunity to transform into a money-spreading boy and began to spread money all over the country.

That’s right, just throwing money around.

Tang En asked the person in charge of the Datang Chamber of Commerce in each city to supervise and compile a list of those who participated in labor construction, and hired everyone at a daily salary of twenty silver coins.

A daily salary of twenty silver coins, what does this mean?

This means that as long as you work on the construction site for five days, you can earn one gold coin and a few more silver coins. If you work for a month, you can earn six gold coins!

And he also takes care of the food!

This is net income!

This price simply made all the poor at the bottom jealous. Suddenly, Tang En’s decree made all the poor at the bottom of the country take action and join this massive transformation.

“You are simply crazy!”

Alleria shouted to Tang En in the palace: “Do you know that this money could have been saved!? Now that you have made this move, no matter what you do in the future We all have to pay them!”

It was originally free labor, but after Tang En did this, there will no longer be free labor for the royal family to use.

“They provide the labor and we pay the remuneration. It’s very reasonable, isn’t it?”

“But the expenditure is too huge!”

Alleria was furious when she looked at the bill Fiona sent her: “It’s only five days. , we burned more than 10 million gold coins! That’s 10 million Illus gold coins!”

“Don’t get excited, these 10 million gold coins also include the cost of traffic lights, sidewalks, fences and lunch. Among them, manpower consumption probably only accounts for half.”

“Half is five million gold coins!”

Alleria lamented: “You really don’t know how difficult it is to make money!”

Tang En shrugged his shoulders and said to Her Royal Highness the Princess smiled and said: “For the first time, those poor people have experienced the happiness of using their labor in exchange for rich rewards. I think this is a good thing. They will work harder to face life in the future, instead of shrinking like they are now. Waiting for alms by the smelly ditch in the slum.”

This sentence left Alleria speechless.

“Oli, you are now sitting in the position of acting king. Haven’t you changed your mentality yet?”

Tang En looked at Alleria and said patiently: “As a king, what you should think about is how to make this country When the people get rich, how do they make the country strong, instead of thinking about how to hide wealth in their own treasury, understand?”

Alleria was startled and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Only then did she suddenly realize that she had almost fallen into a trap of power without even realizing it.

Throughout the ages, how many kings have become kings of subjugation because they were blinded by power and blinded by possessiveness?

The filling of the national treasury should never be achieved by plundering people’s wealth.

Tang En smiled and took the hot tea brought by Olina. After taking a sip, he said leisurely: “You don’t know how long I have been waiting for such a big project where money can be spent… If I want to get money It’s not easy to get it out of the big vault of Star Diamond Bank and circulate it in the market.”

Those stingy people are eager to stuff all the gold coins in the world into the vault. They are willing to become investors after several cooperations. I’m afraid they are just doing it. Don’t let Tang En take out the gold coins.

“This kind of large-scale infrastructure project is the best opportunity for those in power to distribute wealth to society. A large number of hired laborers should be given generous remuneration to make them rich. Only in this way will more people consume and the market will be better. It will gradually become bigger. When there are more currencies circulating in the market, the products produced by our Datang Chamber of Commerce will sell better.”

Tang En knocked on the table and said: “Our products will sell better, competition The stronger our strength, it will stimulate other chambers of commerce to enter this market and compete with us. Only with competition can we make progress. At the same time, the money we earn will pay Dabi taxes again and return to the treasury.”

“The gold coins are in We went around in a circle outside and finally returned to the treasury. It seemed that nothing had changed, but our orders were implemented, the country developed, the people got gold coins, used gold coins to buy food and what they wanted, and the merchants also made money. When it comes to money…now do you understand the meaning of wealth to those in power?”

Alleria looked at Tang En blankly, with lightning and thunder in her mind.

She finally woke up.
