Things from Another World

In fact, according to the current plan, the bus card is not necessary, because Prandall does not have such a developed credit card spending ability, and the crystal card of Star Diamond Bank can only be used in fixed shops that have opened payment channels. Used to bring money bags, copper coins, silver coins and gold coins will carry some.

Even if the bus is priced, it is estimated that it will only use copper or silver coins, so the bus card is not necessary.

But then again, if the current Ellington identity card can provide bus card payment service, it will certainly be better.

That way, more people are willing to apply for identity cards and register identity information, which not only reduces the pressure on municipalities to count residents' information, but also facilitates the screening and management of personnel by Ellington's intelligence department.

So this aspect cannot be given to Star Diamond Bank.

Tang Enpi said with a smile, "Thanks a lot, but we don't use Star Diamond Bank services in this regard."

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

Garrian was a bit anxious. Although it was not clear what Tang En was going to do, since he became Ellington, he has never done any loss-making business. Garrian didn't want to miss this opportunity.

"I'm sure."

Tang En put his hands together and blocked the words.

Ellington's current universal identity card is equivalent to the ID card of China on the earth. It contains personal registration information, name, age, sex, place of birth and even career information. There is also a unique number. The most important is the card. It also records the unique mental power fluctuation information of each person. Although it is nothing, for the time being, it is very important to grasp the information after the scale.

Angrily, Garian was gone, and Tang En smiled at Azor Kamanda, and left.

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

On the earth, because bus companies have to afford urban elderly people to take public buses for free, pay many employees' salaries, to maintain their cars, and fuel costs, large city buses have even been replaced, and coupled with the need to maintain low fares, bus companies Most of them are in a state of loss and need government subsidies to keep operating.

In Prendall, although the power used by Tang En ’s magic bus is magic energy, a standard magic crystal can support thousands of kilometers, which is equivalent to working in the city for nearly a month. It looks like It looks very energy-saving, but the price of standard magic crystals on the market has risen to eighty-five gold coins. If the ticket is set to one copper coin, at least 850,000 people must be transported every month to ensure no loss. Judging from the per capita density and travel demand of major cities in Prendall, this figure is undoubtedly a nightmare. I am afraid that the newly established bus companies will enter a loss state.

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

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

I found Fiona to talk to her about the pricing of the bus. Fiona also very much agreed with Tang En's proposal. It is not appropriate whether the price is too high or too low. Only the interval pricing method is the best choice. Finally, Fiona raised another question.

"If the city bus system is launched, it means that the road transport reform has officially started. When do you plan to bring the private car to the market?"

"It's not the time yet. The launch of the magic car will only cause chaos in the street. It will be more appropriate when people slowly get used to buses and understand the rules of the road."

"Well, you have the final say."

Fiona looked indifferent. Although she knew that the MoNeng sedan would make a lot of money, it was not her decision when to make money.

"That's right," Fiona knocked on the table, reminding Tang En: "The Erlington lighting project you said in the past two days is about to start officially. Do you have anything to add?"

The Ellington lighting project is a project proposed by Downe after the completion of the Preston Glass Factory, which aims to replace glass windows and cloth windows with glass windows.

It's not just Ellington, the windows in other areas of Plandal are mostly covered by leather or cloth, but the thing is opaque on the one hand and leaks air on the other, which is very inconvenient.

Only a small number of wealthy nobles can afford crystal windows, so Tang En proposed the Ellington lighting project, and large quantities of cheap glass can completely meet this demand.

And it is certain that as long as there is a wave of replacing windows in Ellington, the business people who stay here looking for business opportunities will immediately smell the wind and take this wave to other places, and the glass industry will soon spring up Rising up just as much.

The glass industry is certainly nothing, but what is important is what it means. For the first time, people here will notice how huge the impact of large-scale industrial production on the market is. At the same time, they will understand that leading technologies can enhance competitiveness. How many benefits?

People will slowly get used to this change, adapt to it, and also join in it.

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

With a paper order flew from Yalinks a few days ago, the major cities of the Illus Empire have begun a vigorous transformation. Its scale is large and its scope of influence is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. This is In a transformation that affected the whole country, the major cities of the Illus Empire were invested in this operation.

The only good thing about feudal society is that as a king, Tang En's people are obliged to pay for the king's order-in the process of the traffic transformation, Tang En even doesn't care about their meals, and the labor is free!

However, considering the long-term plan, Tang En took advantage of this opportunity to transform himself into a fortune-taker boy and began to throw a lot of money nationwide.

That's right, it's money.

Tang En asked the person in charge of the Datang Chamber of Commerce in each city to monitor and count the list of those who participated in the labor construction, and hired everyone at the price of twenty silver coins per day.

Twenty silver coins per day, what does this mean?

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

And also care about rice!

This is net income!

This price almost made all the poor people at the bottom level jealous. For a moment, Tang En's decree turned out to make all the grass-roots people all over the country take action and join in this huge transformation.

"You are crazy!"

In the palace, Aurelia shouted to Tang En: "Do you know if this money could have been saved !? Now you start this, no matter what we do in the future, we must pay them. ! "

Originally it was free labor, but as Tang En engaged in it, there will be no free labor for the royal family in the future.

"They provide labor and we pay, isn't it reasonable?"

"But the expenditure is really huge!"

Alleria watched the bill sent by Fiona blew up: "In just five days, we burned more than 10 million gold coins! That's 10 million Illus gold coins!"

"Don't be excited, this 10 million gold coin also contains traffic lights, sidewalks, fences and lunch costs, of which only about half of the human consumption."

"Half that is five million gold coins!"

Aurelia was distressed: "You really don't know how hard it is to make money!"

Tang En shrugged his shoulders and laughed at His Royal Highness Princess: "The poor people for the first time experienced the happiness of using their labor to exchange rich rewards. I think this is a good thing. They will work harder in the future Instead of waiting next to alms in the slums of the slums, as it is now. "

This sentence left Aurelia speechless.

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

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, not how to hide wealth in your own. Do you understand in the vault? "

Aurelia was startled, and suddenly sweated coldly.

Then she suddenly found out that she almost fell into the trap of power without even realizing it.

Throughout the ages, how many kings have become kings of the dead because they have been blinded by power and blinded by the desire to possess?

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

Tang En smiled and took the hot tea brought by Olina, took a sip, and said leisurely and comfortably: "You don't know how long I have waited for such a large project that can save money ... If you want to put money It's not easy to get it from the big vault of Star Diamond Bank and circulate it on the market. "

Those miserable ghosts can't wait to put gold coins from all over the world into the vaults, and they have been willing to become investors on several occasions. I'm afraid that they won't let Tang En take out the gold coins.

"This large-scale infrastructure project is the best opportunity for those in power to distribute wealth to the society. A large number of hired laborers will give them sufficient remuneration to make them rich, so that more people can consume and the market will It will gradually become larger. When there are more currencies in circulation, the products produced by our Datang Chamber of Commerce will sell better. "

Tang En knocked at the table and said, "The better we sell our products, the stronger our competitiveness will stimulate other chambers of commerce to enter this market and compete with us. Only with competition can we make progress, and at the same time the money we make He will pay the tax again and return to the treasury. "

"The gold coins made a circle outside, and finally returned to the national treasury. It seems that nothing has changed, but our order has been executed, the country has been developed, the people have been given gold coins, and they have used the gold coins to buy food and things they want. The merchants also made money ... now do you understand what wealth means to those in power? "

Aurelia stared blankly at Tang En, with a lightning flash in her head.

She finally woke up.
