Chapter 584 The Charm of Harley
In Tang En's plan, Purandar's scattered transportation business in the future will be mainly based on land transportation by magic vehicles, supplemented by air transportation by airships, and the transportation of bulk goods and people will be handed over to the railway network that extends in all directions.
Although the laying of railway tracks is troublesome, once the laying is completed, transportation costs and cycles will be greatly reduced in the transportation of bulk goods and raw materials, which is of great significance to social development.
In addition, the technology of the dwarf subway is readily available. This technology can be converted into a magic train with a slight improvement in power. Why not?
After the road network is completed, the next step Tang En will start is the research and development of magic cars and the laying of the railway network. Along with this, various supporting facilities such as traffic lights and traffic patrols, as well as laws and regulations, will be developed. It must be perfected.
For the time being, since there are only Harley-Davidson motorcycles, there is no need to waste energy on traffic regulations, traffic lights and traffic patrol police. Instead, they can make arrangements first and recruit a group in advance for training, so that they can be put into work directly.
Tang En told Alleria about his plan, and then added: "As for the recruitment of traffic police officers, it is very hard work. I think those nobles will not join in the fun anymore, and then We can recruit and select from civilians, and then we can give them the power to enforce traffic laws, so that we can slowly further reduce the privileges of the nobles."
Alleria sighed after hearing this: "No wonder you were chosen. Just like your father, as a king now, instead of thinking about how to maintain the power of the nobles, you always think about weakening their privileges. This is dangerous. I'm afraid only you two dare to do it so boldly."
In today's Purandar, the main force to maintain the royal power is the nobles. When the king deals with the nobles, he is weakening his own royal power. No one will do such a self-destructive thing.
However, Victor, who had a long-term vision, and Tang En, who was from Earth, did it without hesitation.
Because they all know that if they want this country to be reborn from decay, this possibility can only be eliminated from the root, and the aristocratic privileged class must undoubtedly take action.
"I'm going to prepare a detailed plan, and I'll show it to you later."
Alleria didn't have anything to say about this. Anyway, Tang En was the real king now, and it was his business to do what he wanted.
Isn't it just recruiting civilians? Now Tang En's character of daring to think and act has long been famous throughout the Illrus Empire. After the news spread, the nobles could only hold their noses and admit it no matter how reluctant they were.
Recruiting civilians to serve as traffic patrol officers is just the beginning. The next step Tang En needs to consider is to establish various government service windows, and these government service personnel will also be recruited from civilians in the future.
It doesn't matter if you don't have any education, you can definitely be trained and put on the job.
"Okay."
Tang En readily agreed. He was not good at these things, so having Alleria share the pressure was something he liked to see.
The next day, Gallian found Tang En again.
"Your Majesty, I have the honor to inform you that you are here to attend the opening ceremony of the Ellington-Bein-Preston-Paganis Highway. My partner will be happy to help you there if you wish - of course I would like to You don’t need his help either.”
"Is it now open?"
Tang En's eyes looked very strange: "Have you been notified to leave?"
Galian's face glowed brightly and he said proudly: "Of course, almost all those people were upset about the invitation letter issued in the name of our Star Diamond Bank, but we also have a screening process, and only those with assets of more than one million gold coins are selected. Qualified for invitations and now they have arrived at the opening ceremony.”
"Oh? Where?"
"Of course Ellington."
Galian said matter-of-factly: "This is the birthplace of road paving technology and the starting point of the first highway. It is the best choice to start the ceremony there. My partner had already opened the portal to send them yesterday afternoon. At their destination, they spent a pleasant evening at Ellington."
"Well done."
Tang En understood that Galian was trying to show his goodwill to him. After letting the wealthy people enjoy Ellington's life, when they returned to their homes, they would find how inconvenient and disparate their lives were. Only then will there be motivation to move forward. Of course, the products of the Datang Chamber of Commerce will sell better, and the reopened specialty stores will also usher in a sales boom.
"If that's the case, then I'll go back."
After all, Ellington is Twain's foundation. It would be better for him to participate in such a grand and historic ceremony in person.
Tang En thought for a moment, then turned around and said, "Dear... dear, please come with me."
On a formal occasion, he was present as the regent, but he did not bring the queen with him. This was not justified in terms of justice.
Olina was stunned for a moment, then nodded blankly, agreeing.
Then Tang En left the visiting nobles, took Olena and Gallian, opened the portal and returned to Ellington.
"Please be careful! Today is a big day! You must not embarrass our lord!"
Depp shouted while leading the patrol: "If you see anyone who is dishonest, arrest him immediately!"
Little Danny said cheerfully: "Uncle Depp, you said it wrong again. The lord has become the king now and deserves to be punished."
There was a sudden commotion around him, and Depp looked embarrassed and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, Elsa, write it down, my salary for this month will be deducted... five... no, one gold coin will be deducted. .”
"Oh~~"
Danny and the others laughed strangely, and Depun suddenly blushed: "What are you doing! Do you think I'm the same as you, who can feed myself and the whole family is not hungry? I still have a family to support!"
"Ahem, Captain Depp, don't kill everyone with one stroke..."
Locke coughed lightly, indicating that he would soon have a family.
"Oh, I almost forgot, you and Greta are going to get married soon. Didn't you tell His Majesty? Then you can let him witness your marriage. What an honor."
Locke shook his head: "No, let's forget about such a small matter. His Majesty is very busy now, so don't cause any trouble to him."
"What trouble are you causing?"
Tang En and the three of them wandered over. When Locke heard the sound, he immediately turned around and saluted: "Locke has met His Majesty - and Her Majesty the Queen."
Tang En waved his hand and said, "We are all our own people, no need to be polite."
One of our own!
Tang En's words made the members of the Ellington Guards present flush with excitement. Look at what His Majesty said, so heart-warming!
What does one's own mean? In other words, they have become His Majesty's confidants!
If you tell the truth, they are His Majesty's exclusive bodyguards!
Can the value be the same?
Elsa raised her little hand and said, "That's it. Locke and Greta plan to hold a wedding in three days, but the witnesses haven't been appointed yet."
"Oh, that's a good thing. Do you want me to help you get married?"
Tang En raised his eyebrows and said with regret: "Unfortunately, I don't understand this very well, so I can't help you."
Locke and Greta said hurriedly: "I don't dare to trouble Your Majesty..."
They didn't have much hope in the first place, so of course they couldn't be disappointed.
Tang En said casually: "But you can go to the Pope. He is expert in the marriage ceremony."
major?
Olena next to her blushed and felt a little embarrassed when she thought about what happened that day.
Locke smiled bitterly and said: "What is the identity of His Majesty the Pope? How am I qualified to find him?"
"Well... don't worry, leave this matter to me, he will agree."
After Tang En finished speaking with a smile, he glanced at Galian, then remembered something, and suddenly said to Depp and the others: "By the way, you all know about the Harley-Davidson motorcycles produced by the institute, right?"
"I know, I know!"
Danny immediately jumped up and shouted: "Your Majesty, Harley motorcycles are really great! When will they start selling them? How much will they cost? Do we have any discounts?"
As Ellington insiders, Danny and the others were of course qualified to test drive Harley motorcycles. As a Ranger, Danny immediately liked the feeling of transforming into the wind. The air flow blew past him, as if his whole body was connected with the wind. It blended into one, and he loved it so much.
Tang En gave a weird smile: "You all like it?"
A group of people nodded hurriedly. Tang En couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that even Elsa blushed and nodded. Although Elsa was very strong, her usual personality was still very soft. She would like to be so wild. The Harley-Davidson motorcycle was an unexpected discovery.
"Since you like it, then things will be easy."
Tang En said with a smile: "Harley motorcycles will be distributed to you in the next few days, and your training mission these days is to master the skills of riding Harley motorcycles and mounted combat as quickly as possible. ,any questions?"
"P-distribution!?"
Danny sensitively captured this key word, and immediately trembled with excitement: "Your Majesty, do you mean that Harley-Davidson motorcycles are standard equipment directly distributed to us? From now on, they will belong to us!?"
Tang En corrected him: "It doesn't belong to you. The Harley motorcycle still belongs to Ellington, or it belongs to my property. But as long as you are still a member of the guard, you can control one by yourself. Of course, daily maintenance Maintenance is also your task, how about it? If you find it troublesome, you can apply not to do so."
"How can it be!"
Danny immediately shook his head and said firmly: "We will always be the Lord's guards!"
Tang En deliberately teased him: "I think it's for the sake of Harley motorcycles."
Danny blushed and said a little shyly: "Of course not."
"Okay, just get ready. I may go to the Ronitante Kingdom in a while. I will take you with me then. Train well and don't embarrass our Ellington, you know?"
"yes!"
Galian next to him was confused.
Harley Davidson? What the hell?
