Things from Another World

The time has entered the late summer month, and the traffic transformation has entered a climax period. Basically, all the major cities of the Illus Empire are undergoing vigorous transformation activities. Through the promotion of the Datang Daily, people also generally understand that they are about to meet next. What's the thing.

City bus? Waiting at the stop, you can easily reach your destination with a little bit of copper coins?

How is this different from a carriage?

"The difference is big!"

In a pub in Bein, a guy who was fortunate enough to have seen a bus driver training scene said, "You don't understand what it is! In my name, you swear that you will be caught when you see that bus. Stunning, that's art! "

A circle of people looked at the guy with envy, Pilos claimed to be a hired worker of the Datang Chamber of Commerce, and saw the training scene when he delivered to Ellington.

"This bus made by the Datang Chamber of Commerce is so big--"

Pilos gestured with both hands: "It's not enough from the pub to this end, it can hold at least 50-no, a hundred people!"

"That's impossible!"

Someone couldn't help but retort: ​​"How could there be such a big carriage!"

"Who told you it was a carriage?"

Pilos looked at the people who questioned him mockingly: "That's not a carriage, it's called a city bus, and it's all made of hard steel!"

"Steel!"

A group of people exclaimed, "How do you run such a heavy thing? And you have to pull so many people!"

"Of course this is Her Majesty's secret, but His Majesty can make something as amazing as a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, and it's normal to make a city bus."

"But how can it be convenient to pull so many people?"

Some people still don't understand: "If you have money, wouldn't it be better to hire a carriage alone?"

"So you don't understand, buses travel back and forth along a fixed route at a fixed time, and there will be a stop sign every other distance. When the bus arrives at the stop sign, it will stop and let people get on and off."

After a pause, Pilos continued, "Although it is convenient to hire a carriage, it is expensive! The bus only needs a few copper plates, and the carriage must not cost a few silver coins?"

"This is also ..."

Pilos drank a beer, and then said with joy: "Recently, bus drivers are being recruited in various cities. I have already signed up. If I am elected, I will quit and concentrate on driving the bus. It is said that every time You can get this number at monthly salary alone! "

Pilos made a figure.

"Hisse-thirty coins!"

A group of drinkers besides took a breath of air. This salary is quite a lot. In Bein, only employees of the Datang Chamber of Commerce can get this level of salary. The employees of other chambers of commerce can get fifteen gold coins. This is because the emergence of the Datang Chamber of Commerce has led to an increase in employment costs. Previously, these people could earn ten gold coins a month.

"This is just the basic salary. Don't forget to say in the newspaper that this bus driver belongs to the municipal staff, which means that I work for your Majesty. In addition to the basic salary, there are monthly food subsidies, bonuses, etc., plus I can get at least fifty gold coins in a month! "

Then a man suddenly yelled, "Pilos! Where is the place to sign up? I want to go too!"

Pilos fixed his eyes and laughed suddenly: "Old George, you still forget it, your alcohol addiction is so large that it is impossible to pass the level, and bus drivers are not allowed to drink alcohol after taking office."

"Don't let you drink? What's so interesting about life!"

"So your wife will run away with others."

"Pillos! Your kid is itchy!"

"Old George, do you know who was present at this event?"

There was a sudden laugh in the pub.

Lord Bayne, Douglas Bollett, looking at the documents in front of him, said to Thomas in a bit helpless, "Your boss has really found a big problem for me."

Smiling Thomas tapped on the table and said, "It's not a difficult problem, but a good opportunity for mutual benefit, isn't it?"

Fiona sent Thomas to negotiate with Douglas, and she offered to establish a fixed shuttle between Bein and Ellington.

Obviously Douglas wouldn't mind if it was before, but it's different now.

The rise of Ellington is too attractive to those around it, planning a beautiful city, rich labor remuneration, a safe living environment, and a development prospect never seen before ...

All these things will attract people around to gather in Ellington.

As the owner of Bein, Douglas certainly would not be happy to see this scene.

But Thomas's meaning was not so much Fiona's meaning as Her Majesty Down's. Douglas was unhappy, but he did not dare to hang on with him. Now the Bollett family has come to Down's side, He was not able to drop the chain because of the mixed wind and water.

After sighing, Douglas signed his name on the document and said, "Say to Ms. Fiona, I agree, but I hope to get Ellington's preferential policies, such as If Arlington needs to set up a new plant, give priority to Bein ... "

"Of course, we will be happy to support our partners."

Thomas put away the contract with a smile on his face, stood up to leave, and suddenly paused when he was about to leave, turning back and saying, "Suddenly remembering a message, I think I should remind you."

"what news?"

"Your Majesty intends to further expand industrial production capacity, intends to develop light industry and support the characteristic industries of each city."

Douglas froze, then overjoyed: "Really !?"

"Of course, I think, because of the Epa Expressway and the Ebe Shuttle, Her Majesty should consider Bein first."

Thomas smiled and said, "After all, Bein's textile industry is still very famous. Think about it. I'm leaving."

After Thomas left, Douglas made a decision after wandering in the study for a moment.

It's time to rectify Bein's industrial structure.

At the same time, not only Bayin, but in several other cities, like Thomas, the messengers of the Datang Chamber of Commerce are in discussions with the owners of each city, and the core of the discussion is to determine the buses in the city Lines, training of bus drivers, and intercity bus issues between cities.

What does it mean that Tang En's purpose is to build a one-day transportation network within the Illus Empire?

That is, in cities where buses can be reached within a day, a passenger station must be established between each other to form a cobweb-like transportation network.

How big is this project to build a nationwide transportation network from scratch? The number of people involved in this project is more than ten million. If it were not for the wealth collection ability of the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce and Tang En's absolute control over the Illus Empire, no one would be able to do this.

More importantly, because Tang En needs an efficient and highly dynamic country. When the transportation network is completed and intercity buses begin to operate, the population flow between cities will accelerate, and information exchange will become faster. Many new ideas are generated during the collision of thoughts.

This is important.

Yalinks, Palace Study.

"Those cities need more than just buses. The mere employment of bus drivers and traffic police will not satisfy the city's desire for work."

Tang En knocked at the table and further emphasized: "Transportation reform and the introduction of buses are to expand the travel range of people, and to prepare for the next industrial expansion. With buses, those people can go farther from home. It will be much more convenient for workers to go to work by local buses. What those cities need to do now is to reform from the traditional agricultural form and gradually transition to the industrial form. "

"But," Aurelia frowned, "if there are too many people going to work in factories, the farmland will be deserted, our people will be hungry, and they will not eat enough!"

Fiona, who was sitting next to her, had a weird expression. She had reminded Tang En during the expansion of Ellington before, but later Tang hit her face with the facts. Now I'm afraid Aurelia is inevitable Once.

"Agriculture is important, but important does not mean that a large amount of labor is consumed."

Tang En asked Fiona: "How many agricultural magic machines have we put into the domestic market?"

Fiona made her debut without even looking at the data: "So far, more than 20,000 combine harvesters have been put on the market, 25,000 magic energy tillers, and 50,000 magic energy sprinklers."

Tang En nodded and said to Aurelia, "Do you know what this concept is?"

Aurelia frowned: "Flat down to every city in the empire, each city has about two hundred combine harvesters, two hundred and fifty magic energy tillers, and five hundred magic energy sprinkler irrigation machines."

"Yes."

Tang En smiled and said, "You only know the number of these devices, but you don't know how many people's labor can be replaced by these magic energy machines?"

Seeing Aurelia shaking her head, Tang En continued: "A combined harvester can harvest more than a thousand people a day, and a magical tiller can grow more than 1,000 people a day. In terms of area, not only is the sprinkler irrigation efficiency more efficient, but it also saves time and effort. In this premise, how much labor and land is required for a farm?

"It's ... difficult to count."

"It's very simple. The efficiency of Santai's agricultural magic energy machines far exceeds the efficiency of a thousand people, which means that a family of three farms can completely cultivate the original acreage of one thousand people."
