Chapter 754

In fact, according to the current plan, the bus card is not necessary, because prandal does not have so developed card consumption capacity, and the crystal card of Star Diamond bank can only be used in fixed shops with payment channels, so many people are used to carrying money bags when they go out, and they will carry some copper coins, silver coins and gold coins.

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

But then again, it would certainly be better if Ellington's identity crystal card could provide bus card swiping payment service.

In that way, more people are willing to take the initiative to apply for identity cards and register identity information, which not only reduces the pressure of Municipal Statistics on resident information, but also facilitates the screening and management of personnel by Ellington's intelligence department.

Therefore, this aspect cannot be handed over to the Star Diamond bank.

Donne smiled and said, "thank you very much, but we don't need the service of Star Diamond bank."

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

Gallian is a little anxious. Although he doesn't know what Donne is going to do, he has never done anything at a loss since he took charge of Ellington. Gallian doesn't want to miss this opportunity.

"I'm sure."

Donne stalled and blocked the conversation.

At present, Ellington's universal identity crystal card is equivalent to China's identity card on earth. It records personal registration information, name, age, sex, place of birth and even occupation information, as well as a unique number. The most important thing is that the crystal card also records everyone's unique mental fluctuation information. Although it is not much for the time being, when the scale increases, It's very important to master the whereabouts of these people.

Gallian left in a huff and puff. Donne smiled faintly at Ezra Kamanda and left straight away.

In fact, allowing the Star Diamond bank to enter the bus system will help alleviate the economic pressure of Datang chamber of Commerce, because urban buses, as a kind of convenient welfare, are actually in a state of loss most of the time.

On earth, because bus companies have to bear the urban elderly to take the bus free of charge, pay many employees' wages, keep the car, and pay for oil, buses in big cities have even been updated. In addition, they always need to maintain low fares, so most bus companies are in a state of loss and need government subsidies to operate all the time.

In prandal, although the power used by the magic transformation bus made by Donne is magic energy, and a standard magic crystal can support thousands of kilometers, which is equivalent to working continuously in the city for nearly a month, which seems to save energy, the price of standard magic crystal in the market has risen to 85 gold coins, If the ticket is set as a copper coin, it will take at least 850000 people to transport every month to ensure no loss. According to the current per capita density and travel demand of major cities in prandal, this figure is undoubtedly impossible. I'm afraid the newly established bus company will enter a state of loss.

However, if the ticket price is set at a silver coin, residents may prefer to walk or ride a bike.

On the whole, it is a good idea to sell tickets according to the interval distance of bus stops without formulating through tickets.

Find Fiona and tell her about the bus pricing. Fiona also agrees with Donne's proposal. Whether the price is too high or too low, it is inappropriate. Only interval pricing is the best choice. Finally, Fiona raised another question.

"If the urban public transport system is launched, it means that the road traffic reform has officially begun. When are you going to bring private cars to the market?"

"It's not the time yet. The launch of magic car will only cause Street chaos. It's more appropriate to launch it when people get used to letting the bus and know how to abide by the traffic rules."

"Well, you has the final say."

Fiona has the final say, though she knows that the magic car will make money, but what time it will not be her money.

"By the way," Fiona knocked on the table and reminded Donne, "the Ellington lighting project you said is about to officially start these two days. Do you have anything to add?"

Ellington lighting project was proposed by Donne after the completion of Preston glass factory. It aims to replace leather windows and cloth windows with glass windows.

Not only in Ellington, the windows in other areas of prandal are basically covered with leather or cloth, but it is not transparent on the one hand and air leakage on the other hand, which is very inconvenient.

Only a few rich nobles can afford crystal windows, so Donne proposed Ellington lighting project, and a large number of cheap glass can fully meet this demand.

And it is certain that as long as there is a wave of window replacement in Ellington, those businessmen who stay here to look for business opportunities will immediately hear the wind and take this trend to other places, and the glass industry will spring up like mushrooms.

Of course, the glass industry is nothing, but what is important is the significance it represents. People here will notice for the first time how great the impact of large-scale industrial production on the market is, and will also understand the benefits of leading technology for enhancing competitiveness.

People will gradually get used to this change, adapt to it and join it at the same time.

What Donne wants to see is a vibrant world, not a stagnant world.

With an order flying out of arlex a few days ago, the major cities of the Ilus empire began a vigorous transformation. Its scale and scope of influence are far beyond ordinary people's imagination. This is a transformation affecting the whole country. The main cities of the Ilus Empire have invested in this operation.

The only advantage of feudal society was that, as a king, Donne's people had the obligation to pay for the king's orders - in the process of traffic transformation, Donne didn't even care about their meals, and the labor force was free!

But considering the long-term plan, Donne took advantage of this opportunity to turn into a money boy and began to spread a lot of money all over the country.

Yes, it's just throwing money.

Donne asked the head of Datang chamber of Commerce in each city to supervise and count the list of those who participated in labor construction, and hired everyone at the price of 20 silver coins a day.

Twenty silver coins a day. What does that mean?

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

And take care of food!

This is net income!

This price almost made all the poor at the bottom jealous. For a moment, Donne's decree made all the grass-roots poor in the country take action and join the massive transformation.

"You're crazy!"

In the palace, Aurelia shouted to Donne, "do you know that this money could have been saved?! now you have started this, no matter what we do in the future, we must pay them!"

It was originally free labor, but Donne did so, there will be no free labor for the royal family in the future.

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

"But this expenditure is too huge!"

Aurelia watched the bill sent by Fiona blow up: "in just five days, we burned more than 10 million gold coins! That's 10 million Ilus gold coins!"

"Don't get excited. The ten million gold coins also include the cost of traffic lights, sidewalks, fences and lunch, of which the labor consumption accounts for only half."

"Half that's five million gold coins!"

Aurelia said bitterly, "you really don't know how hard it is to make money!"

Dumne shrugged his shoulders and smiled at the royal highness of the princess. "Those poor people first realized the happiness of using their own labor to get rich rewards. I think this is a good thing. They will work harder to face life in the future, rather than just like this now, shrinking in the slums of the slums and waiting for alms."

This sentence left Aurelia speechless.

"Ollie, haven't you changed your mind when you're sitting in the position of acting king?"

Donne looked at Aurelia 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, rather than how to hide your wealth in your own Treasury, okay?"

Aurelia was shocked and suddenly burst into a cold sweat.

At this time, she suddenly found that she almost fell into the trap of power unconsciously.

Through the ages, how many kings have become subjugated kings because they are fascinated by power and blinded by possessiveness?

The filling of the National Treasury should never be realized by plundering the people's wealth.

Donne smiled and took the hot tea brought by OLINA. After drinking it, he said leisurely: "you don't know how long I've been waiting for such a big project that can spread money... It's not easy to get money out of the big treasury of the Star Diamond bank and circulate in the market."

Those misers wanted to put all the gold coins in the world into the vault. After several cooperation, they were willing to become investors. I'm afraid they just didn't let Donne take out the gold coins.

"This big project of infrastructure construction is the best opportunity for those in power to distribute wealth to the society. A large number of employed labor force will be paid enough to make them rich. In this way, more people will consume and the market will gradually become larger. When there is more money circulating in the market, the products produced by Datang chamber of Commerce will sell better."

Donne knocked on the table and said, "the better our goods sell, the stronger our competitiveness will stimulate other chambers of Commerce to enter the market and compete with us. There will be progress only if there is competition. At the same time, the money we earn will pay a large proportion of taxes again and return to the Treasury."

"The gold coin went around outside and finally returned to the Treasury. It seems that nothing has changed, but our orders have been implemented, the country has developed, the people have received gold coins, bought food and things they want with gold coins, and the merchants have made money... Now do you understand the meaning of wealth to those in power?"

Aurelia stared at Donne with lightning in her mind.

She finally woke up.
