Chapter 756 (1/2)
In the late summer, the traffic transformation has entered a climax. Basically, all the big cities of the Ilus empire are carrying out vigorous transformation activities. Through the publicity of Datang daily, people also roughly understand what they are about to meet next.
City bus? Wait at the stop sign and spend a little copper coins to reach your destination easily and conveniently?
What's the difference between this and a carriage?
”There's a big difference!”
In a pub in Bain, a guy who was lucky to see the bus driver training site said with foam: ”you don't understand what that thing is! Swear in my name, you will be stunned when you see that bus. It's a work of art!”
A circle of people looked at the guy with envy. Piros claimed to be a hired worker of the partner of Datang chamber of Commerce. When he went to Ellington to deliver goods, he saw the training site.
”The bus made by Datang chamber of commerce is so big -”
Pyrrhus gestured with his hands: ”it's not enough from the other end of the pub to this end. It can hold at least fifty - no, a hundred people!”
”That's impossible!”
A man could not help retorting, ”how could there be such a big carriage!”
”Who told you it was a carriage?”
Piros looked sarcastically at the person who questioned him: ”it's not a carriage. It's called a city bus, and it's all made of hard steel!”
”Steel!”
A group of people exclaimed, ”how does such a heavy thing run? And it has to pull so many people!”
”Of course, it's his Majesty's secret, but it's normal for his majesty to make such a magical thing as Harley motorcycle and a city bus.”
”But how can it be convenient to pull so many people?”
Some people still don't understand: ”if you have money, it's not better to hire a carriage alone?”
”So you don't understand. The bus goes back and forth along the fixed route at a fixed time. There will be a stop sign every other distance. When the bus reaches the stop sign, it will stop and let people get on and off.”
After a pause, piros continued, ”although it's convenient to hire a carriage, it's expensive! The bus only needs a few copper coins, and the carriage doesn't cost a few silver coins?”
”That's also...”
Piros took a sip of beer and said happily, ”recently, all cities are recruiting bus drivers. I have signed up. If I am selected, I will resign and concentrate on driving the bus. It is said that every moonlight is the base salary and I can get this number!”
Piros drew a number.
”Hiss - thirty gold coins!”
A group of drinkers nearby took a breath of air conditioning. This salary is a lot. In Beiyin, only employees of Datang chamber of commerce can get this level of salary, and employees of other chambers of commerce can get 15 gold coins at the top of the sky. This is still the result of the rise in employment costs caused by the emergence of Datang chamber of Commerce. In the past, it was great for these people to earn 10 gold coins a month.
”This is only the base salary. Don't forget what the newspaper said. The bus driver belongs to the municipal staff, that is to say, I work for your majesty. In addition to the base salary, there are catering subsidies and bonuses every month. Together, I can get at least 50 gold coins a month!”
Then a man suddenly shouted, ”piros! Where is the registration place? I'm going too!”
Piros looked at it intently and laughed: ”old George, you'd better forget it. You're so addicted to alcohol that you can't pass the test. You're not allowed to drink after bus drivers take up their posts.”
”No drinking? What's the meaning of life!”
”That's why your wife ran away with others.”
”Piros! You are itchy!”
”Old George, why don't you ask anyone present who doesn't know about it?”
The tavern burst into laughter.
At Lord Bain's house, Douglas bolette looked at the documents in front of him and said helplessly to Thomas in front of him, ”your boss really has a big problem for me.”
Thomas with a smile tapped the table and said, ”it's not so much a problem as a great opportunity for mutual benefit, isn't it?”
Fiona sent Thomas to negotiate with Douglas. She proposed to establish a fixed bus between Bain and Ellington.
Douglas obviously wouldn't mind if it was before, but now it's different.
