v2 Chapter 78: Different landscapes of Bangta City (1/2)
Even if he has left the toll booth far away, Sophia’s pretty face still has deep disdain and disgust.
The two men, Kennard and Heiners, talked and laughed. They didn’t care about it at all. Instead, they also discussed whether the cost of a 50-cylinder for a carriage is expensive or cheap.
Seeing that the two did not care about themselves, Sophia finally couldn’t help it, and deliberately snorted.
”Hey! The road was originally built to facilitate others to go, they actually have to collect money, too much!” Sophia rounded her eyes, a look of indignation. ”You have just praised the guy who called Xu Yi. I heard that the idea of building a toll station for road repair is that he came out? This person is greedy to this point, it is necrotic!”
Baron Hayas and Kennard looked at each other and couldn't help but smile and shake their heads.
”Sofia, I want to ask you a question. The Philsons and Motors have invested more than 400,000 gold coins in building this road. If they don't build a toll station, where do they take back the investment?” Asked the Baron.
”Why must I take it back?” Sophia said loudly. ”Since the construction of the highway is a good thing to be able to facilitate so many people, then everyone should rush to do it. Since the Philson car dealers are willing to pay for the construction, many people will praise them and praise them for doing good. They do Well, I have to build such a toll booth. Is it so many people in plain?”
Kennard sighed softly and shook his head. ”Sophia, you are going to be 18 years old, not too small. Can you think about it like a child in the future? Even if you are right, if Philsons does not build this toll booth. Then they are equivalent to doing a big good thing, and will be praised by many people. But you can't always ask all the chambers of commerce in our kingdom to become so unselfish? This is obviously a very unrealistic thing. If everyone finds that there is no advantage in building a road, how many business associations do you think will be willing to pay for it?”
Although Sofia is not awkward, she is not a fool. Of course she understands the truth that Kennard said, but she is still not convinced.
”The 400,000 gold coins are nothing to them for such a large chamber of commerce. Is it not good to use it to build a road for free? The reputation of the chamber of commerce is getting better and the business will definitely be better.”
”Whose money is not falling from the sky. Why do you ask others to contribute to everyone without any reason?” Kenneder said. ”The other 400,000 gold coins are definitely not a small number. Even if it is a very good chamber of commerce in our kingdom, it will take a lot of courage to build such a road at a time. To put it, this is the case. The president of the Philson Cars and Horses is still very energetic. He would choose to build a road in parallel with the new Feishang Chamber of Commerce.”
”Well, Xu also praised this Pompeii president in the letter to me, saying that although he is easy to make a fuss, but the eyes are still very commendable.” Baron Henas nodded and turned to Sofia. Road: ”Sofia, you just said that a lot of people have been to this toll booth, but you know that the original name should be the lord of our lord. It is not the new flying chamber of commerce and the Philson horse. Row?”
Sophia said: ”What does this have to do with His Majesty the King? It is not the King’s Majesty that charges them.”
”You are right. Seriously speaking, it is really the King's Majesty to charge them.” Kennard answered. ”Because of the road construction, improving the travel environment of the people should have been a thing that the country's rulers should do, but now our kingdom finances are very short of money, and the King of the Kings can't get such money to build the road. At this time. Xu also can propose such a near-perfect way to solve this problem, really. I really admire him.”
”He just wants to make money on this thing, what is good to admire!” Sophia immediately expressed disagreement.
”If he only wants to make money, then this toll will not be just a carriage as long as it is 50 silver coins. If it is me, it is likely to increase the price several times. Because I have experienced the pleasure of running on the road. I don’t think anyone will ever want to let the carriage go on the ragged dirt road.” Kennard said. ”Sofia, are you willing?”
Although Sofia wants to continue to rebut, but now they are riding a horse-drawn carriage on the road, the bottom of the **** is not feeling a little bumpy, the comfort is far more than the previous time on the dirt road, she can not do anything. Speaking with conscience.
Seeing that Sofia was speechless, Kennard smiled and did not intend to continue to force her to admit her mistakes. She turned to the middle-aged man who was sitting across but never said: ”Uncle Hank, etc. After returning to Anweimar City, you must make a solemn proposal to your father. We have to build several roads ourselves. I am sure that these roads will definitely make a lot of money in the future.”
The middle-aged man smiled and nodded. ”I have this idea. After personally examining the comfort and convenience of this road, I am very optimistic about the prospects of the road. I even think that it will take only a few years, no accident. The Lampari Kingdom will be connected by roads everywhere.”
”If it really becomes like that, then it would be great.” Kennard was quite emotional: ”The road can provide such a convenient transportation environment, I can imagine it, until the kingdom is full of roads, There will be countless carriages on these roads running back and forth, and the entire kingdom will become so busy.”
I heard that Kennard and the Baron of Henas and Uncle Hank started discussing business problems again. Sophia suddenly felt bored, pouted, opened the curtains, and looked at the car window. Scenery.
At this time, she once again felt the benefits of the road.
If she is driving on such a pitted road, she dares to put her head on the string of the window, and she will soon be dizzy and stunned. Maybe she will bite her tongue because of frequent bumps.
And now I’m on it, but I just feel the slight vibration of the window. Nothing at all.
Traveling on a flat road, the speed of the carriage is naturally much faster.
It didn't take long. Sophia saw a huge iron plate on the side of the road, with the bottom bottom painted blue, but the white paint was written in two rows of large characters.
Welcome to Bangta City
I wish you a happy stay in Bang Ta City.
Sophia was a little surprised.
They walked all the way from Anvilmar City and passed through several cities on the way, but they saw this sign for the first time on the roadside.
