Vol 2 Chapter 73: Urban public transportation system

When the first leaves that were yellowed by the season were blown down by the autumn wind, the road leading to the city of Kalmar in Bangta City was finally announced.
Unlike the rainy highway, this road connecting Bangta City and Kalmar City is the first truly intercity highway on the mainland of Sainz.
The completion of this road can completely represent the road traffic on the mainland of Sainz. It has since entered a new era, and has got rid of the situation that can only be bumped on the rugged roads covered with mud and stones. From then on, you can enjoy the cement. The various concrete pavements bring convenience and speed.
For the Kingdom of Lampari, this is also a very path of symbolism and practical significance, so this time not only the Count of Sama, the Lord of the City, personally presided over the completion ceremony of the road, and His Royal Highness Princess Annes also represented the presence of His Majesty the King.
In addition to watching the lively crowds of ordinary people in Bangta City, various chambers of commerce and industry in the city also sent representatives to the scene.
For these chambers of commerce, the most important thing is to explore the true attitude of the kingdom's high-levels to the highway from His Royal Highness and Count Satsuma.
Although Earl Satsuma publicly expressed support for the construction of roads in many newspapers, for the general public, His Majesty never expressed a clear attitude.
Although it does not show a clear attitude, it can be regarded as a kind of secret support, but if you don't say it, everyone still has some heart.
After all, after the completion of this road, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is going to build a toll station on the road to collect tolls.
What kind of attitude the King has placed on this point is the focus of many chambers of commerce.
So at the ceremony. The representatives of the major chambers of commerce, although apparently listening to the eloquent speeches of the Earl of Samo, have been secretly focused on the seat of His Royal Highness Servini standing behind the Earl of Samo.
As for this time standing next to the palace of the king. Xu Yi, who is talking with the royal girl under the hippie smile, is naturally envious of the heart.
However, they did not think of it anyway. At this time, the topic discussed by His Royal Highness and Xu Yi was a matter of no importance at all.
"Mr. Xu, I am deeply sorry for your ability to take a name." Servin looked at Xu Yi, who was smiling and relaxed. Some helplessly said: "This road is so significant, you are so lazy, you take it." The simple name of 'Bonka Highway' is simply... it is a waste of everyone's feelings!"
Xu also shrugged. "It's just a name. It's a big deal. Let's say how simple and straight the Bangka Highway is. I understand that this road connects Bangtar City and Kalmar City."
"But this is the first real road in the Kingdom of Lampari. Can you spend a little thought on a good name?" Servini said with anger.
Xu Yi’s face doesn’t matter:
Isn’t this necessary? Anyway, this kind of thing is used to make people go home. What is the name is just a code name. I didn’t call it 001 national road is not bad...

Sevigny could only helplessly shake his head and give Xu a white eye.
At the beginning, when he was in contact with Xu, Servini was able to maintain his majesty and restraint as a prince. However, with the number of contacts, she now finds that in the face of Xu Yi, her mentality has become more and more relaxed, and she has lost more and more of her calm and rational mentality, which is easily valued. The reaction also caused mood swings.
"Forget it. This is a road that your new Feishang will pay for repairs. I am willing to call you the freedom of this president. I can't control it." Servini sighed and decided not to entangle on this issue. "But there is a problem. I hope you can respect my opinion."
"What problem?" Xu asked curiously.
"Although the father agreed to your proposal, I will allow you to invest in the construction of the new airline. You will be allowed to build a toll station on the road to collect the toll, but you don't think. The amount of the toll you set. Is it too high?"
Xu also frowned slightly: "His Royal Highness, I remember when we originally specified the toll standard, I informed the King of the Kings in advance through the Earl of Satsuma. Why do you still accuse us of being too expensive? A carriage only accepts fifty silver coins. I don't feel high at all."
There was a distressed look on Servini’s face. He paused and sighed softly:
Mr. Xu, in fact, this is also the meaning of the father. This road is mainly for the service of ordinary civilians in the kingdom, specifically In order to serve the people in the cities of Bangta City and Kalmar City, the toll collection fee is already very low, and the price is still so high, it should be too bad."
Hearing the words of Servini, Xu immediately put away the hippie smile, very seriously said: "His Royal Highness, you should be very clear, our new Feishang Chamber of Commerce in order to build this road, but put together a total of 430,000 Gold coins. And we will also undertake all the maintenance after this road, which is also a huge expense. If the pricing is too low, how long do you think we need to recover the money we invested?
Sevigny's expression is slightly moving, and it seems to be embarrassing to say: "This... Xu will be long, can't you have some spirit of dedication to the civilians?"
Xu also looked at Severni with a strange look: "His Royal Highness, I have discussed this with you before I remember this question? You asked me to be alone and we will have a dedication to the new flying business, but you can't ask for all." Do people and chambers of commerce have this selfless dedication?"
"I did hope so, but it is really impossible." Servini nodded helplessly.
"That's right." Xu also unceremoniously continued: "Our new Feishang Chamber of Commerce is now building this road, just to give an example to all the chambers of the kingdom, telling them that not only does not have to lose money, but also Make money. If there is no reason for this, do you think the Philson Cars will take the initiative to invest in the construction of the road from Bangta City to Saltan City? If there is no such non-governmental chamber of commerce, the kingdom can get it. Is that much money coming?"
"No." Servini shook his head with a smile. Take a deep breath and re-hang a smile on his face. "Okay. Xu Huichang is my problem. Just when I didn't say these things. I just saw this road completion and I couldn't help but think that if we are everywhere in the Kingdom of Lampari. Highway, what a moving situation, it was a little excited at the moment."
Xu also stared at Sevigny for a while, and his tone was flattened.
"His Royal Highness. I understand your mood. But please also recognize the reality, the kingdom is not strong now, and cannot rely on its financial ability to support these infrastructures, then we can only find another way to solve this problem."
Xu Yicheng's tone and expression made Servini unable to move in his heart, flashing the same brilliance in his eyes, watching Xu Yi seriously, listening to him and continuing to speak.
"In any case, the establishment of a toll station on this road is also the name of our new Feishang Chamber of Commerce. When it was announced in those newspapers, there were even people who came to our product service center to protest. But it doesn't matter, come to me. To say that the ultimate goal is the most important, and some of the buzz can be heard as if not."

Are there people directly protesting?
Servini was a little surprised. "What did the Satsuma Count do not react?"
Xu Yizhen smiled: "After the Earl knew this, I wanted to send the guards to be in front of the product service center of our chamber of commerce. But I refused. After all, compared to the individual, I and our chambers, most of the Bangta. People in the city and Kalmar City are welcoming the construction of this road. Even if you know the fees, most people can understand."
Sevigny smiled slightly: "In any case, most people don't have a private carriage, and your road will not charge for pedestrians."
Xu Yi’s heart moved:
When it comes to a private carriage, I think of one thing. I want to ask your Royal Highness to help you.

He has been in contact with Xu for a long time, and Sevigny is very clear. In addition to the beginning, Xu also used to respect himself. Later, as long as he suddenly changed his name to respect, it must be troublesome, so she asked with some vigilance: "What is it?"
"You just said that most people don't have a private carriage, so they usually choose to walk around, and they rarely choose to ride a carriage. But this is actually a delay in travel time. I have counted, light. It is a walk from Bangta City to the factory of our new Flying Chamber of Commerce in Sanqinton Manor, which is about 15 kilometers away. Even if it is faster, it will take nearly two hours. It is very tiring to waste time.

"And then? Do you want to solve this problem? But how are you going to solve it?" Servini asked curiously.
"Yes, I really want to solve this problem. For example, many workers working in our factory live in Bangta City or in a village outside the city. It takes a long time to get on and off the road every day. Although we are in the Chamber of Commerce. Some rooms for the workers to live in have also been built, but now they are not enough. After further expansion of production, it is not enough." Xu Yidao.
"You haven't said how you plan to solve this problem," Sevigny reminded.
"Well... in simple terms, it is to create a city public transportation system." Xu also replied.

Urban public transportation system?
Sevigny was not the first to hear these strange new words from Xu Yizui. Although he did not understand it, he carefully pondered it. "What you mean is... just like the Phillips car and horse, use a lot of carriages to shuttle around Bangta City, connect the traffic inside and outside Bangta City, so that everyone can take the carriage to where he wants to go. local?"
"The royal girl is really smart!" Xu also could not help but praise. "However, this is basically what it means."
Sevigny thought for a moment and frowned. "This idea is very good, but I think you should go to the Philson car dealer to discuss this issue, or discuss with Count Satsuma, can you help me?"
Xu Yizhen smiled: "Your Royal Highness, you can of course help. Because you can help get something that can be completely replaced in the long run, but it can't be lacked in the short term, that is, the horse pulling the car."
