v2 Chapter 50： Labor shortage (1/2)

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.
