Chapter 1068 Rapid Development
The merchants in the country of fire immediately discovered the business opportunities brought by the new means of transportation such as the maglev train, so they consulted the government about the delivery party and expressed their intention to cooperate.
The Rope Tree had been prepared for this for a long time, and the Daimyo government immediately announced the various rules and prices for cooperating with the company to transport goods.
The large and small companies and merchants of the Fire Country had already established long-term cooperation with Konoha, so they trusted the policies promulgated by the government, and soon signed contracts with the Ministry of Railways.
In this way, the domestic logistics industry of Fire began to take off, and the contract signed with the domestic businessman alone has initially recovered the construction cost of the maglev train system. After all, the core part of the entire maglev train system is energy, but since the "selfless contribution" of the spirit clone costs negligible, it does not cost much except for the materials used to make the track and the train itself. Relying on the deposit paid by domestic companies of all sizes is enough to return to the capital.
At the same time as the logistics industry was established, Rope Tree began to promote the benefits of maglev trains through the media, but the majority of the general public could not immediately reverse their attitudes, except for a small number of women with higher incomes, most of the people still used to travel by walking. After all, the entire ninja world is just now inferior to the electric era, and even the average income of the Fire Nation is still in a low position, and for ordinary civilians, they would rather waste some effort and more time than waste so much money to take the maglev train. After all, a ticket is their income for several days, and it is more distressing for ordinary people to use.
However, even so, the rope tree is not ready to reduce the price, because the maglev train is an important source for him to accumulate funds to develop chakra technology. If the price is reduced casually, the entire development plan will be affected in the future, and he believes that with the development of the times, the maglev train will sooner or later eliminate the original mode of travel.
As the Rope Tree had predicted, with the establishment of the maglev train body, it was like building a new set of blood vessels for the Fire Country, and goods and people from all over the world could circulate quickly. And the huge economic heritage of the Fire Nation has finally played its due potential driven by logistics.
With the rapid development of the logistics industry, commodities from all over the world began to circulate rapidly, and many originally remote and poor areas have developed rapidly!
For example, some small fishing villages that were originally located along the coast could not carry out sea trade because there was no port, and the transportation was not convenient, so they had a large amount of seafood but could not sell it, so they could only live a poor life.
Since the establishment of the maglev train, all kinds of seafood from the ocean have become a very sought-after commodity in China. These impoverished fishing villages soon became gold mines in the eyes of merchants, and all kinds of seafood that could not be sold in the past were sold at high prices. Experienced fishermen have made their fortunes with their excellent fishing skills!
After the business opportunities, it naturally attracted a large number of businessmen to invest, and in response to the increase in investment, all walks of life developed rapidly, and the scale of the small village continued to grow.
The small fishing village, which was originally poor, was able to buy all kinds of goods from China, and under the virtuous circle, the economy of the small village became more and more developed, and in just one month, it became a wealthy coastal city.
In addition to the coastal areas, the Xichuan area, which is located in the mountains, and the Xiyuan, Xilin, and West Lake areas that are on the border, have also made great progress.
Originally, although the territories newly occupied in the last war had great potential, the conditions were far inferior to those in the center of the Fire Nation, and it would take at least ten years or even decades to develop the potential of these areas and let them keep up with the progress of the Fire Nation itself.
However, with the establishment of the maglev train system, exchanges across the country have accelerated, and the commercial potential of the originally remote areas has been developed like the small fishing villages mentioned earlier, so the economy of these newly occupied areas has developed rapidly and changed rapidly driven by the huge market in the developed areas in the center of the Fire Nation.
With the rapid development of the city and the development of the economy, the lives of the common people of Ben are naturally getting better and better, and after the living conditions have improved, even the original local residents have gradually developed a sense of belonging to the Fire Country. These newly occupied areas are merging into the Fire Nation at an astonishing rate and contributing to the country's development.
Development means opportunity, and opportunity naturally attracts people. As the saying goes: "The tree moves the dead and the dead move the living", no matter where there are many people who are dissatisfied with the status quo and eager for development, so civilians all over the country have begun to go out to other places to look for development opportunities.
As a result, the movement of people is becoming more and more frequent, and the demand for maglev trains is also increasing!
Three months after the maglev train began to operate, the economy of the Fire Nation began to grow rapidly, and a large number of merchants had their assets skyrocketing because of this wave of economic development. The market value of the Konoha Foundation alone has risen by a full percent! Don't underestimate this percentage, with the huge volume of the Konoha Consortium today, the value of one percent alone will be calculated in units of 100 billion taels of silver!
At the same time, the government of the Fire Nation has also received a large amount of income through the maglev train, and the previous investment has made a surplus, and the development of the national economy has also brought more tax revenue to the government, and the top management of the Fire Nation is overjoyed. In the previous life of the rope tree, the GDP of the entire Fire Country had risen by more than a dozen percentage points.
Such a drastic change in the Fire Nation has naturally attracted a lot of attention from various countries.
In particular, the merchants of various countries were envious of the opportunity for the merchants of the Fire Nation to make a fortune, so they asked their governments to learn from Konoha and build their own transportation systems.
The high-level leaders of various countries are actually very interested in Konoha's maglev train, but whether it is ordinary technology or ninja technology, it is impossible to build a transportation system like the Fire Nation in a short period of time.
The modern technology of the ninja world has just entered the electric age, not to mention the maglev train, even the technology of the gas train is not mature enough! If you barely imitate the cottage, the speed of the train built may not be as fast as the running speed of humans, and the gains outweigh the losses!
As for coming to the cottage through ninjutsu, it's even more impossible! Even Shayin Village, which has been studying Yiwei for decades, admits that they have no clue, and even if they abandon the human pillar force plan, they will not be able to find a way to build a maglev train with Yiwei.
Without a clue, the high-level leaders of the countries soon secretly united again to plot a way to break the situation against the Fire Nation.
