Chapter 759 The King’s Attitude

Ronitant, Nanila.

"City bus?"

After receiving the news from Nicole using the magic letter, Oscar frowned. His intuition told him that he might be tricked by Tang En again this time.

That's right, although he really doesn't want to admit the benefits of this product produced by the Datang Chamber of Commerce, Oscar is not a fool. He knows very well what kind of impact it will have on the entire country once this large-scale and efficient means of transportation becomes popular. Variety.

On a smaller scale, people who were reluctant to go out in the past will be more willing to go shopping in distant places. The number of mobile people on the street will increase, which will also increase the turnover of various stores in a disguised way, and the country's economy will be more dynamic.

On a larger scale, if urban public transportation is spread throughout the country, a huge rapid transportation network will be formed. Both people and things can be quickly sent to their destinations through this network. If a war breaks out, these The bus can be transformed into a terrifying transport vehicle, transporting large numbers of soldiers to the front line.

This kind of efficiency is far inferior to that of the cavalry.

If Tang En knew what Oscar was thinking, he would definitely laugh out loud.

Although it is perfectly fine to use the bus as a troop carrier, he would not use such a low-end thing if it were actually used to transport troops.

"It seems a bit troublesome..."

Oscar muttered to himself. Due to the limitation of the transmission limit of magic letters, Nicole was unable to transmit all the contents of these issues of Datang Daily. Therefore, the information Oscar could obtain now was also very limited, but in the end He has already seen the important points.

With these buses and Harley-Davidson motorcycles, the horse trade, which accounts for the bulk of Ronitante's export economy, will be greatly affected, and the demand for horses in the market will be greatly reduced in the future.

Don’t forget, Ronitante’s gray-hoofed horse is far inferior to the sharp-toothed horse of the Renne Empire in terms of overall level, let alone compared to the top-notch red-maned horse of the Solant Kingdom. Compared with serving as a war horse , the low-priced Ronitante gray-hoofed horses could only be used as draft animals.

It is precisely because of the large demand for horse carriages from various chambers of commerce that there is such a broad market for Ronitant gray hoof horses.

But now, everything has been ruined by Tang En.

To make matters worse, if Illus has such a highway network and intercity buses, but Ronitant does not, then there is no doubt that in a few years, the rapidly developing Illus Empire will It will leave the Ronitante Kingdom far behind.

Not only Ronitant, but also the Solant Kingdom and the Grace Kingdom are probably facing the same problem at this moment.

The rise of the Illus Empire has become unstoppable.

This strong rate of development will attract those principalities that serve as buffer zones, and they are likely to be reintegrated into the Illrus Empire. Then, the four major kingdoms of the human kingdom of Purandar will have to confront each other head-on.

Kingdom of Solant, City of Chant.

Emperor Klein, who was sitting high on the throne, looked at the information sent back by the spies with a smile on his face: "Highway network and intercity buses? That's interesting."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude."

A grand duke stepped forward, lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid this news may not be good news for us in the Kingdom of Solant."

"Of course I know, but do we need to worry?"

Emperor Klein laughed loudly and said: "Don't forget, Hohenheim is our most powerful partner. Their alchemy level is ahead of the entire Purandal! It's just Harley motorcycles and buses. As long as the samples are delivered, they will be very useful." You can quickly figure out the principle and then imitate it.”

When Emperor Klein said this, the Grand Duke suddenly remembered Hohenheim, a family with a relatively weak presence.

Yes, although Hohenheim rules the White Mist Plains and has been providing magic equipment to Emperor Klein, Hohenheim's presence in the Solant Kingdom is quite weak. They rarely participate in political affairs and just stay silently. Studying alchemy in their own territory - coupled with the fact that they have been contaminated by demon souls over the years, their sense of existence is even weaker.

At this time, the palace guard suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty! Baron Tenner wants to see you!!"

When Klein heard this, he laughed loudly and said: "It seems that what I ordered has come to fruition. Please invite Baron Tener in quickly."

Soon Baron Turnard came to the throne room and knelt down to Klein: "Replying to your Majesty, I am glad that I have lived up to my command."

"oh oh!"

Klein was overjoyed: "Bring it to me and see!"

Baron Turner stood up, took off the ring on his right hand and presented it to Klein. After Klein put on the ring and touched it lightly, a Harley motorcycle appeared out of thin air next to him.

Baron Turner had been lurking in Taris a while ago to collect intelligence for Klein, and happened to encounter a Harley motorcycle salesman. So he received the latest instruction, which was to buy a Harley motorcycle and return to the Anthem City.

"This thing looks more complicated than the previous bicycle... What is this? Instruction manual?"

Klein raised his eyebrows, read the instructions briefly, and then laughed loudly: "I thought it was so difficult, but it turns out it's so simple. Come on, let's try it!"

After the group arrived in the palace garden, Klein released the Harley motorcycle again, then sat on it, inserted the matching crystal card key and started the Harley motorcycle, and then started driving very smoothly.

For an extraordinary swordsman, driving a Harley motorcycle is not a problem. The most difficult problem of maintaining balance on a two-wheeled vehicle is not a problem at all. That speed will not have any impact on the reflex nerves of an extraordinary apocalypse. So he got the hang of it easily.

After trying it for a while, Emperor Klein showed a satisfied smile.

"Very good, this thing is very good."

Klein is very satisfied with Harley motorcycles: "It would be better if I could equip my soldiers in large quantities."

"Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce has not officially entered our Solant..."

“Who says we’re going to buy from them?”

Klein laughed meaningfully: "Not only Harley-Davidson motorcycles, but also buses. No matter what good things the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce builds, it has no impact on us. The alchemists of Hohenheim , will perfectly solve our problems, turn their things into our things, and then——"

A fierce murderous aura shot out from Klein, and he laughed wildly: "——My iron cavalry will flatten the entire Purandar and push me to the throne of the emperor for all eternity!"

This poor careerist still doesn't know that Hohenheim has been turned into an empty shell by Tang En...

The king of another large human kingdom, the Kingdom of Grace, Stanley Grace, was also staring at the information on the table with a gloomy face at this moment.

The Kingdom of Grace is located in the north-western part of the interior of Purandar, sandwiched between the Renne Empire, the Solant Kingdom and the Illrus Empire. Compared with the Illrus Empire, the living environment is even worse and there are constant frictions. The border has led to the strong folk customs here, and the domestic army's combat effectiveness is quite strong.

But in contrast, the food production capacity here is seriously insufficient. In order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army, a large amount of food is given priority to soldiers, so more than half of the residents are hungry all year round.

Even in good harvest years, it is difficult for them to have a full meal, because their long-term desire for food and worries about famine have led them to develop the habit of frugality, and they will use any edible plants and food. Animals are made into food - almost as good as the redstone dwarves in the underworld.

A large part of the bandits and bandits in the northern part of the Illrus Empire come from the Kingdom of Grace.

After Stanley saw the information, he didn't pay too much attention to it. So what about the highway network and what about buses? His citizens don’t have enough to eat, so how can they still be in the mood to pay attention to how to travel?

What really deserves his attention in the Illrus Empire are the combine harvesters, magic cultivators, and magic sprinklers that no one else pays much attention to.

In Stanley's view, these products of the Datang Chamber of Commerce are truly useful and can change the world.

No matter how much wealth you have, no matter how powerful you are, you need to eat, and only when you have a full stomach will you be in the mood to think about other things.

Stanley tapped the table lightly, pondered for a long time, and murmured to himself: "It's almost the Harvest Moon, and the impact of magic cultivators, sprinkler irrigation machines, and combine harvesters on agriculture will soon be seen... If it is really that powerful, maybe..."

Maybe, Stanley didn't dare to say it, but in order to keep his people fed, some ridiculous traditions should be abandoned.

Tang En knows nothing about the outside world. He is currently busy with industrial transformation and vigorously promoting the industrialization process of major cities in the Illus Empire. At the same time, with the completion of the training of the first batch of bus drivers, Asia The Links bus was about to be officially put into trial operation, and at this moment, he was standing on the high platform, joining hands with Olina to witness this world-changing moment.

"...It will bring us great convenience and comfort. Believe me, you will fall in love with it. Now, together with my dear Queen Olena, we jointly represent the royal family of the Illrus Empire, Announcing that the era of city buses in Alexis has officially begun!"

After Tang En finished reading his speech, he and Olina opened the curtain below, and then the extremely nervous driver slowly drove the green bus out and drove into the platform.

This is the first bus station in Purandal, Guangming Square Station.

Sixty people including Tang En, Olina, Alleria, Fiona, Ilia, Oberry, and Adrian from the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce were the first batch of passengers and boarded the bus, and then one by one Ten copper coins were put into the money box.

They will take the first bus to travel the entire route of the Yalinks 1 bus, and the pass is ten copper coins.

Tang En looked at the size of the cash box on the bus and suddenly felt that currency reform seemed necessary...
