Vol 2 Chapter 50: Labor shortage

Of course, the president of Pompeii is not a fool, and the Philippine car is not too much money to use.
The reason why he proposed to build a road from Bangta City to Saltan City was because the new Feishang Association’s construction of the road between Bang Tacheng and Kalmar was not hidden from anyone. It was announced by the city government on the municipal square.
For this matter, both the newspapers in Bangta City and the newspapers in Kalmar City have been widely reported, and even a series of reports have been published in newspapers in the city of Anvilmar.
Everyone knows from these reports that after the construction of this road, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will set up a toll station on the road to collect tolls for all carriages on the road.
For this, most people do not care, a small number of people scorn.
Is the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce crazy? Actually, I still want to make money by collecting tolls?
Do you want to collect money, right? That's simple, I can't leave it alone.
Anyway, this road was built on another site and does not affect the road between Bangta City and Kalmar City.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is trying to recover the investment in building roads by collecting tolls, but it is simply a delusion.
However, other people will think so, but it does not mean that President Pompeii will think so.
As the president of the Philson Cars, he knows better than anyone that a good road will have a big impact on the business of the car.
Don't say anything else, the annual loss of the Firson Cars and Horses in the carriage is as high as 100,000 to 150,000 gold coins.
And if you count the loss of horses running on poor roads, this figure is even closer to a full 200,000 gold coins.
Before the president of Pompeii thought about it. If every road in the Kingdom of Lampari can be as flat as a road paved with pure marble in front of the Royal Palace in Anvilmar, then the words of the Philsons can save at least ten on fixed wear. Thousands of gold coins come.
And because of the improvement of the road. The speed of the carriage will also increase, people's travel efficiency will be improved, and the business of the car will be better.
However, all these good wishes are ultimately just a bubble.
Although the road in front of the palace is only five hundred meters long and ten meters wide, because all the materials are made of fine marble and polished by highly skilled stonemason, the total cost is as high as 70,000 gold coins.
I want to turn all the roads in the Kingdom of Lampari into that. The gold coins that need to be spent, even if it is the most expensive Candela imperial royal family on the entire continent can not afford.
President Pompeii once gave up this luxury until he saw the road built by the new Flyer.
Although this road is a little worse than the incomparably smooth road in front of the palace, it is much better than the broken gravel roads.
If you let the president of Pompeii choose, you will pay a certain toll. He will also choose to let all the cargo and manned carriages of the Pfeison cars and horses walk on such roads.
He can also be sure that even if other chambers of commerce can't see the significance of this road, after comparison, they will definitely choose to let their dealer's trucks go from the flat road.
Aside from the loss of goods that the carriages are walking on on flat roads, it is not the time to save, it is not the same as the tolls.
So Pompeii’s president judged almost instantaneously. The fact that the road toll is charged is actually very promising.
So he found Xu Yi in the first place and first applied to the Count of Satsuma for the construction of the road.
Of course, the most important factor that prompted him to make up his mind was that the cost of the road was low enough.
According to Xu Yi, the road leading to the Rain Valley is 57 kilometers long. The final cost is less than 200,000 gold coins.
The construction of a road from Bangta City to Kalmar City is about 70 kilometers long, and it is estimated that it costs only about 300,000 gold coins.
Although Bangta City is a little further away from Saltan City. However, it is estimated by this standard that the death will not cost more than 400,000 gold coins, and the Fleming car can be fully affordable.
The most important thing is that when other chambers of commerce react, they start to build roads. I believe that it will not take long for all the roads in the entire Lampari Kingdom to be replaced by roads.
At that time, the biggest benefit for this was undoubtedly the most reliance on road traffic conditions.
"Hey, the guy in Pompeii must have fun in his heart now, I think your new club will be helping them to help them." President Cruise looked quickly behind the galloping carriage. The scenery, screaming, and then looking back at Xu Yi, shook his head and said: "In fact, he did not expect that all this is basically planned for you early in the morning."
Xu also took back the look outside the window, patted the seat cushion casually, and smiled: "You can't say that completely. You see, if all the roads in the Kingdom of Lampari become such flat. Roads, at least we will be much more comfortable when we are in the carriage."
Now the two-person carriage is driving on the rainy road that has just been completed. Because the road is flat, the whole carriage has been moving at a high speed, but it is still very stable. It is far from sitting in the ordinary. It’s so bumpy when driving on a stone dirt road.
President Cruise laughed and nodded again and again: "Yes. After saying a few trips on this road, you will let me go to the roads on the broken roads before. I can’t stand it. Oh, I don’t know what. At the time, all the roads in our Kingdom of Lampari can become such a comfortable road."
Xu Yi Shen said in a moment: "It should not be too long. After the completion of this rainy road, newspapers from all over the country have been reported in the newspapers. The royal family has been vigorously promoting and promoting. Now the entire Lampari Kingdom already knows. The convenience brought by the road. Together with the royal family's propaganda on the two roads that our new Feishang Chamber of Commerce and Philson Cars and Horses are building, I believe that many chambers of commerce in the Kingdom will recognize the benefits of building roads. Perhaps they can't pass. How long will you find that many people come to your Amrit Chamber of Commerce to help with the road."
President Cruise froze slightly: "With the ability of our Chamber of Commerce, it is already exhausting all the two roads. If there are more people who want to build roads, I am afraid I can't cope."
"Then you are willing to let the technology of cementing the road out, let other chambers of commerce share it for you?"
In the face of Xu Yi’s jokes, President Cruise shook his head quickly and wondered.
"Of course it is impossible. So, Xu Hui, this opportunity, I will order 20 sets of concrete equipment for you. I also hope that you can speed up the development of other road engineering magic machinery, I am now eager to use it."
"The equipment is okay, what about people?" Xu also asked. "Now in Bangta City, I guess you can't find enough people?"
Listening to Xu also mentioned people, Cruise will sigh a long, bitter smile: "Speaking of this, I really don't know whether to praise you or you."
"Oh? How do you say this?" Xu Yixiao asked.
"Before your new flying business club comes out, you can see idlers everywhere in Bangta City. I have a lot of people in a month and three gold coins are rushing to work. Now, your new flight will open itself. Several factories have recruited more than one thousand people and said that they have also come up with a small business association support plan, so that now the entire Bangta City is recruiting everywhere. I want to recruit more people to build roads, and you guess Guess what?"
"How? Can't you get it?" Xu also asked.
"It is not completely impossible to recruit. But I only want to recruit a handyman who shovel the roadbed. I dare to ask me for a salary of seven gold coins a month. It is a robbery!" President Cruise said indignantly.
Xu couldn't help but laugh: "It's not bad, it's only seven gold coins. It's not too much. We are now recruiting a new worker to start a monthly salary of ten gold coins."
President Cruise took a look at Xu Yi: "Who is more than your new flying business! You guys have always been big-handed, and it’s a bad guy. In fact, if not, your new flyer will raise the salary of the workers first. High, we will not be so difficult to do business."
"This problem I explained to you last year. The increase in wages for workers is an inevitable result of economic development. It is not something that my new Feifei Chamber of Commerce can change. With the demand for manpower in Bangta City, even if our Chamber of Commerce does not rise. Sooner or later, there will be other chambers of commerce. You may not know that there were several chambers of commerce that wanted to dig up the workers in our factory some time ago, and even offered a salary of 20 gold coins a month." Xu Yidao.
"Twenty gold coins? Which chamber of commerce is more crazy than you?" President Cruise asked strangely. "So, are your workers going to be dug up?"
"Not a chamber of commerce, but a lot. As long as it is a chamber of commerce that wants to make magic machinery like us, we are now digging our workers. Maybe they feel that by burying our workers, they can be like our chambers. ?? Xu also passed a sneer on his face. "But it's okay, most of our workers are dwarves, and their loyalty is relatively high. So far, there have been more than a dozen human workers, and the impact is not great."
President Cruise looked enviously and looked at Xu Yi: "How can I not hire so many dwarves? The dwarves are not only strong, good, but also willing to endure hardships and craftsmanship. It is the most suitable worker. Hey, Xu Yi, since you know so many dwarves, can you introduce some of them to our chamber of commerce? I promise to give them a high salary! The lowest ten gold coins a month, how about?"
"You shouldn't ask me, you should ask the dwarves themselves." Xu also shrugged and pointed at the shadows of the two green hills that had gradually appeared in the carriage window. "Now there are so many dwarves in the rainy valley. If you have the skills, bring them to your chamber of commerce."
