Chapter 502 This Is the Effect We Want

After entering Xiacheng, the first thing you see is a round arch-shaped flower bed.

Several colors of flowers were placed with the word "Welcome" on them, which was a novel sight for everyone.

Around the flower bed, a neat bluestone double road more than ten meters wide appeared in front of everyone.

Then you can see rows of small buildings on both sides, built with blue bricks and red tiles, which are unique in style.

The distance between each small building is not far. There are many pedestrians coming and going on the road, and everyone has a smile on their face.

Rows of maple trees are planted on both sides of the street. The golden and red maple leaves are connected together. It looks unique and pleasing to the eye from a distance. Those who don't know it may think they are entering a red maple forest.

Then everyone saw a wide speed car approaching, making a bend in front of the flower bed and stopping not far away.

The door behind the car opened and some people walked out. Then the front door opened and some people got on the car.

After everyone got on, the cart drove out of sight.

"Is this flying car used to pull people?" An official couldn't help but look at Lu Yan and asked.

Lu Yan smiled and replied: "Yes, this is a bus unique to Xiacheng. You only need to pay a penny to ride it. There are specific places for people to get on and off."

If the debtors hadn't sent the resources yet, their city lord would have been able to refine more buses and use them to travel between Xia City and the fiefdom.

Seeing this group of officials from Kyoto looking left and right from the moment they entered, Lu Yan and others felt very happy, and this was the effect they wanted.

"You can ride for just one penny? This is too cheap. How can it be so wasteful?" Some officials immediately disagreed.

Nowadays, who in Kyoto would not be proud to own a flying car, but it is unbelievable that one can get one in Kasumigaoka for only a penny.

"This is because the lord wants to benefit the people. In addition, the smell of horse dung, cow dung, etc. really affects the beauty of the street, so this bus system was implemented." Lu Yan said unconcernedly.

The officials did not expect that Ning Xi would even take this aspect into consideration. Is this really the arrogant and domineering dude?

"Are these small buildings for people to live in?" Another official asked, pointing to the small buildings on both sides.

Lu Yan smiled and nodded: "Yes, this is a house in a civilian area. Every household in Xia City can be assigned one."

"Is this divided?" The officials were surprised.

"Well, this is built for the people by the lord, but it is not free. You need to pay a certain contribution point every year to live in it. Even lazy people won't be able to live there for long."

Ningxi will try its best to create excellent living conditions for the people, but will not raise idle people.

"Can ordinary people afford it?" This small building looks well built, but how can ordinary people afford it?

Lu Yan smiled and said: "You only need to spend more than half of the year farming diligently. If you contribute when the land needs to be reclaimed, you can naturally afford to live here. All the people living here are ordinary people."

Even ordinary people in Kyoto can't afford such a house, but in Xia City, every household can get one. Therefore, it is not surprising that Lu Yan was surprised by these officials.

"Is this only for common people? Does that mean there are also rich people living there?" an official asked in response.

"Yes, the wealthy area is mainly composed of rows of houses, and the central area is full of large courtyards, where the city lord's palace is also built." Lu Yan explained.

After hearing this, everyone felt an indescribable sense of shock. This city must be built too well.
