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 Enpi smiled and said: "Thank you very much, but we don't need the services of Star Diamond Bank in this regard."

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

Gallian was a little anxious. Although he still didn't know exactly what Twain was going to do, he had never done any loss-making business since he took over Ellington. Galian didn't want to miss this opportunity.

"I am 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's not the right time yet. Launching the Magic Car now will only cause chaos on the streets. It will be more appropriate to launch it when people gradually get used to giving way to buses and know how to obey traffic rules."

"Okay, you have the final say."

Fiona looked indifferent. Although everyone knew that the Magic Car would be very profitable, it was not her who had the final say when the money would be made.

"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?"

The Ellington Lighting Project was a project proposed by Down after the Preston Glass Factory was built, aiming to replace leather 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, those businessmen who stay here to look for business opportunities will immediately catch the wind and take 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 is 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 Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce in each city to supervise and compile the 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're just crazy!"

In the palace, Alleria shouted to Tang En: "Do you know that this money could have been saved originally!? Now that you have made this move, we must pay them no matter what we do in the future. !”

It was originally free labor, but with Tang En's actions, there will no longer be free labor for the royal family to use.

"They provide the labor and we pay. It makes sense, doesn't it?"

"But the expenditure is too huge!"

Alleria was furious when she saw the bill Fiona sent her: "In just five days, we burned more than 10 million gold coins! That's 10 million Illus gold coins!"

"Don't get excited, these ten million gold coins also include the cost of traffic lights, sidewalks, fences and lunch, of which the labor cost is probably only half."

"Half that's five million gold coins!"

Alleria was heartbroken: "You really don't know how difficult it is to make money!"

Tang En shrugged his shoulders and smiled at the hairy princess: "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 huddled next to the smelly ditch in the slums waiting for charity like now."

This sentence left Alleria speechless.

"Oli, you are sitting in the position of acting king now, haven't you changed your mentality yet?"

Tang En looked at Alleria and said patiently: "As a king, you should think about how to make the people of this country rich and how to make this country strong, instead of thinking about how to hide wealth in your own country." In the vault, do you understand?”

Alleria was shocked and suddenly broke into 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 wanted to stuff all the gold coins in the world into the vault. They were willing to become investors in several cooperations, probably just to prevent Tang En from taking 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 grow bigger, and 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: "The better our products sell, the stronger our competitiveness will be, which 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, we will earn more money." I will also pay Dabi’s taxes again and return them to the national treasury.”

"The gold coins circled outside and finally returned to the treasury. It seemed that nothing had changed, but our orders were implemented, the country developed, the people received gold coins, and used gold coins to buy food and things they wanted. Businessmen also made money... Now do you understand what wealth means to those in power?"

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

She finally woke up.
