Chapter 755 (1/2)
As time went by, the infrastructure construction work in various cities was in full swing. Datang chamber of Commerce, which contracted the reconstruction task, hired almost all the poor classes that could be employed and poured a lot of money out.
Although it is said that Datang chamber of commerce is throwing money, everyone knows that Datang chamber of commerce is his Majesty's industry, which is no different from his Majesty's throwing money.
More importantly, businessmen in various cities suddenly found that Mingming city has become chaotic in the transformation. Chickens fly and dogs jump all day, but more people come to buy things!
More than a little, but multiplied!
Some bosses even found that some customers were waste who had been lying in the slums and waiting to die.
Those poor people, who used to be naked and smelly, have now changed into neat clothes - although they are still full of dust, they can at least cover their bodies, and their faces are much less colorful and healthier.
They even have money to go to the pub for a drink, which is incredible!
In the yarinks civilian area, the workers who had worked hard all day in the hot summer were full of the smell of sweat, but they didn't care about the smell of sweat. They walked into a pub and felt the cold air blowing from the magic air conditioner. The workers shouted to the boss to serve wine and vegetables.
In the past, the pub owners who had abandoned them like cages did not drive them away. Instead, they smiled and sent bubbles of beer, even without watering them.
This treatment was unimaginable before, but people have been used to it these days.
”Cheers to your majesty Donne!”
”Cheers to your majesty Donne!”
With happy smiles on their faces, the workers raised their glasses to each other and shouted out their gratitude. The customers nearby were also infected by their emotions and raised their glasses to drink together.
During his tenure, Victor has been trying to improve the situation of the Ilus Empire, but he has never broken away from the shackles of the aristocracy, and even the decrees can not be effectively conveyed, let alone solve the problem of slums.
Donne, on the other hand, took over Aurelia's original intelligence network after he became the Regent, and appointed a large number of dark elves as his employees. He was reorganized into an organization integrating intelligence and assassination, called ”ghost agent”. Anyone who tried to form a gang rebellion openly or secretly, All were secretly cleaned up by the dark elves who enthusiastically followed him. Under the supervision of ghost agents, no one could oppose Donne's rule.
It is not that he is too cold-blooded, but it is necessary to complete his ultimate task, ensure that power is in his own hands, ensure the steady development of the country, and even ensure that he can finally control the whole prandal.
The unimpeded passage of decrees, coupled with Donne's understanding of economy and society, finally contributed to the current situation.
The large amount of wealth collected by the great nobles was earned by the Datang chamber of Commerce. Part of it went into the state treasury through tax payment, and the other part was taken out from the Star Diamond bank and redistributed back to the society in the form of employing workers, slightly balancing the original huge income gap.
Although it is only a little balanced, it has made a very obvious change in this society. The most significant point is that more than twice as many people have the money to drink in pubs, and the income of those street girls has also increased significantly - these are the data that can most clearly reflect the per capita income of the society.
If the per capita income can be further balanced, the overall strength of the Ilus empire will be greatly improved, and even catching up with and surpassing the kingdom of solant is not a dream.
Another manifestation of the substantial increase in per capita income is that people's interest in consumer goods has increased, and the focus of mutual chat has shifted from whether to eat to the focus of the current mainstream society.
This is quite normal. When people who were once deeply in despair one day can not only eat enough, change new clothes, and even have a large deposit, they can see the hope of survival. Of course, they will want to live better, and the things pursued by those rich nobles are naturally their desired goal.
As a result, Harley motorcycles, which have just been listed recently, have become a hot topic in the market. Many people who are able to buy Harley motorcycles but do not want to buy Harley motorcycles have also joined the flow of people who buy Harley motorcycles, which has greatly increased the income of Datang chamber of commerce again.
In addition, people are very interested in the traffic lights erected in the reconstructed roads, especially when they hear that they are used to adjust traffic.
Because people in prandal have never had the concept of ”traffic jam”
Those people now can't even understand why people and vehicles should be separated, why people should take the sidewalk and let the carriage go alone in the middle. Even if they walk together, no one will be stupid enough to squeeze in front of the carriage - yes, they think that the separation of people and vehicles refers to the carriage.
Perhaps sometimes, for example, during the glory Festival, the carriage will be blocked by the flow of people, but the vast majority of nobles will never have the patience to wait for the crowd to disperse. What their coachman will do is very simple - beat the Dalits with a whip, and the crowd will disperse naturally.
