Chapter 752: National Mobilization Order
In fact, according to the current plan, the bus card is not necessary, because Brandal does not have such a developed card consumption capacity, and the crystal card of Star Diamond Bank can only be used in the fixed shops that have opened payment channels, so many people will be accustomed to bringing money bags when they go out, and some copper coins, silver coins and gold coins will be carried. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Even if the bus is priced, it is estimated that only copper coins or silver coins will be used, so there is no need for a bus card.
But then again, it would certainly be better if Ellington's current identity card could provide bus card payment services.
In this way, more people are willing to take the initiative to apply for identity cards and register identity information, which not only reduces the pressure on the municipal side to count residents' information, but also facilitates the screening and management of personnel by Ellington's intelligence department.
Therefore, this aspect cannot be handed over to Star Diamond Bank.
Tang Enpi said with a smile: "Thank you, but you don't need the services of Star Diamond Bank in this regard." ”
"Are you sure? My friend, our technology can relieve you a lot of stress! ”
Garion was a little anxious, although it was not clear what Don was going to do, but since he became the owner of Ellington, he had never done any loss-making business, and Garion did not want to miss this opportunity.
"I'm sure."
Tang En spread his hands and directly blocked the words.
Ellington's current commonly used identity crystal card is equivalent to China's ID card on the earth, which records personal registration information, name, age, gender, place of birth, and even occupation information, as well as a unique number, and the most important thing is that the crystal card also records each person's only mental power fluctuation information, although it is nothing for the time being, but after the scale goes up, mastering this information is equivalent to mastering the whereabouts of these people, which is very important.
Angry and garian leaves, Don smiles faintly at Eldraine Kamanda and leaves.
In fact, allowing Xingzuan Bank to enter the public transportation system will help alleviate the economic pressure of the Datang Chamber of Commerce, because city buses, as a kind of convenience and welfare, are actually in a state of loss most of the time.
On the planet, because bus companies have to pay for free bus rides for the elderly in cities, pay many employees' salaries, maintain cars, and fuel costs, buses in big cities have even been updated, and they have always needed to maintain low fares, so most of the bus companies are in a loss-making state, and they need to rely on government subsidies to continue to operate.
In Plantal, although the power used by the magic change bus made by Don is magic energy, a standard magic crystal can support thousands of kilometers, which is equivalent to working in the city for nearly a month, which 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 at one copper coin, at least 850,000 people must be transported every month to ensure that there is no loss, Judging from the current per capita density and travel demand in the major cities of Purlandal, this figure is undoubtedly fantastical, and I am afraid that the newly established bus company will enter a state of loss.
However, if the ticket price is set at one silver coin, residents may prefer to travel on foot or by bicycle.
Overall, it's a good idea to sell tickets based on the distance between the bus stops without making a pass.
Fiona mentioned the bus pricing to her, and Fiona also agreed with Donne's proposal, whether the price is too high or too low, it is not appropriate, only the way to price the bus is the best choice, and in the end, Fiona asked another question.
"If the introduction of the urban bus system means that the road traffic reform has officially begun, when are you going to bring private cars to the market?"
"It's not time yet, the introduction of the magic car now will only cause chaos in the streets, and it is more appropriate to launch it when people slowly get used to the bus and know how to obey the traffic rules."
"Well, you have the final say."
Fiona looked indifferent, although she knew that the magic car would be very profitable, but it was not up to her to decide when to make money.
"By the way," Fiona knocked on the table and reminded Donne, "The Ellington lighting project you said is about to officially start in the past two days, do you have anything else to add?" ”
The Ellington Lighting Project was proposed by Donn after the completion of the Preston Glass Works, which aimed to replace the leather and cloth windows with glass windows.
Not only Ellington, but the windows in other areas of Purlandal are basically covered with leather or cloth, but on the one hand, it is not transparent to light, and on the other hand, it leaks, which is very inconvenient.
Only a small number of wealthy aristocrats could afford to use crystal windows, so Don proposed the Ellington lighting project, and the large production of cheap glass could fully meet this demand.
And it is certain that as soon as Ellington started a trend of replacing windows, the merchants who stayed here in search of business opportunities would immediately catch the wind and take the trend elsewhere, and the glass industry would soon spring up like mushrooms after a rain.
The glass industry is nothing, of course, but what matters is what it represents, and people here will notice for the first time how great the impact of large-scale industrial production is on the market, and at the same time understand how much leading technology can benefit from increasing competitiveness.
People will slowly get used to the change, adapt to it, and join in at the same time.
Don wants to see a vibrant world, not a stagnant world.
With an order flying out of Alinks a few days ago, the major cities of the Illuth Empire have begun a vigorous transformation, its scale is huge, and the scope of influence is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people, this is a transformation that affects the whole country, and the major cities of the Illuth Empire have been put into this operation.
The only good thing about feudal society was that, as kings, Donn's people were obliged to pay for the king's orders - in the process of the transportation overhaul, Donn didn't even have to take care of their food, and the labor was free!
But considering the long-term plan, Don took advantage of this opportunity to become a fortune boy and began to throw a lot of money around the country.
That's right, it's money.
Tang En asked the head of the Tang Chamber of Commerce in each city to supervise and count the list of those who participated in the labor construction, and hired everyone at the price of twenty silver coins per day.
What does it mean to be paid twenty silver coins a day?
This means that if you work on the construction site for five days, you can earn one gold coin, a few more silver coins, and if you can work for a month, you can earn six gold coins!
And take care of the rice!
That's pure income!
This price simply made all the low-level poor people red-eyed, and for a while, Tang En's decree turned out to be that all the grass-roots poor people in the country took action and joined in this huge transformation.
"You're just crazy!"
In the palace, Aurelia yelled at Donn, "Did you know that this money could have been saved!? Now that you've made this start, we'll have to pay them for whatever we do in the future! ”
Originally, it was free labor, but if Don did this, there would be no more free labor for the royal family to use in the future.
"They provide the labor, and we pay it, which makes sense, isn't it?"
"But the cost is so huge!"
Aurelia looked at the bill sent by Fiona and exploded: "In just five days, we burned more than 10 million gold coins!" That's 10,000,000 gold Ilrus! ”
"Don't get excited, these 10 million gold coins also include traffic lights, sidewalks, fences, and lunches, of which the labor consumption is only about half."
"Half that's five million gold coins!"
Aurelia was heartbroken: "You really don't know how hard it is to make money!" ”
Don shrugged his shoulders and smiled at the fried-haired princess: "For the first time, those poor people have experienced the happiness of exchanging their labor for rich rewards, and I think this is a good thing, they will work harder to face life in the future, instead of huddled by the slum stinking ditch and waiting for handouts like now." ”
This sentence left Aurelia speechless.
"Ollie, now that you are sitting in the position of acting king, haven't you changed your mind?"
Don looked at Aurelia and said patiently, "As a king, you should think about how to make the people of this country rich, how to make this country strong, not how to hide your wealth in your own treasury, understand?" ”
Aurelia was startled, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Only then did she suddenly realize that she had almost fallen into the trap of power before she knew it.
Throughout the ages, how many kings have become the kings of the dead country because they were blinded by power and blinded by possessiveness?
The fullness of the treasury should never be achieved by plundering the wealth of the people.
Don En smiled and took the hot tea brought by Olena, took a sip, and said leisurely: "You don't know how long I have been waiting for such a big project that can be used for money...... It is not easy to get money out of the big coffers of Star Diamond Bank and circulate in the market. ”
Those misers were eager to stuff all the gold coins from all over the world into the vault, and they were willing to become investors after several cooperations, probably just to prevent Don from taking out the gold coins.
"This kind of infrastructure construction project is the best opportunity for those in power to distribute wealth to the society, a large number of hired labor, give them enough good remuneration, let them get rich, so that more people will consume, the market will gradually become bigger, when the market has more currency, the products produced by our Datang Chamber of Commerce will sell better."
Don knocked on the table and said, "The better our goods sell, the stronger the competitiveness, the more we will stimulate other chambers of commerce to enter this market and compete with us, and there will be progress with competition, and at the same time, the money we earn will also pay Dabi's taxes again and return to the treasury." ”
"The gold coins went around the outside and finally returned to the treasury, and it seemed that nothing had changed, but our orders were carried out, the country was developed, the people were given gold coins, food and what they wanted were bought with gold coins, and the merchants made money...... Now do you understand what wealth means to those in power? ”
Aurelia stared blankly at Donn, a thunderbolt in her head.
She finally came to her senses. (To be continued.) )
