Chapter 161: Is Your Head Made of Stone?

If you want to build the overall image of Bang Ta City, of course, you can't just talk about it, and you can't do it just by publicity.

In addition to the opening of the new Municipal Plaza and the renovation of the banks of the Sandy River, two of the most eye-catching urban renewal projects at present, new urban areas outside Bang Ta City according to Xu Yi's vision have also begun to be gradually built.

The first problem to be solved in the new city is, of course, the problem of road traffic.

After finalizing the city's overall renewal plan last year, the AmritΓ© Chamber of Commerce has been building various roads for the new urban area in the suburbs outside Bonta.

Now, after more than half a year of construction, several major traffic arteries have been paved, and several related urban public transportation lines have been opened immediately.

From the Filson bus terminal in Bonta City, you can choose to take a horse-drawn bus to many places outside the city quickly, which is undoubtedly much easier and faster than in the past when you had to walk on your feet without your own special horse-drawn carriage.

It took a full coin and a whole morning to make a round trip to all the eleven existing public transport lines in Bunta City, and when he returned, he was full of praise for Xu.

"It's so convenient! it's so convenient!" Haynas still habitually maintained his slightly exaggerated tone. "It only takes a few silver coins to get anywhere you want to go in a comfortable carriage, and it's so fast, it's so convenient!"

Xu Yi smiled: "Why? I don't know who told me last time that the idea of this urban public transportation system is very good, but it is very impractical to really make it?"

Haynas's face flushed slightly. He sneered, "How did I know that your Bangta City was developing so fast. So many roads have been built in such a short period of time. And Filson is really cooperative. Because as far as I've observed, there aren't a lot of people taking these buses right now, and they're definitely losing money. ”

"It's just that people haven't gotten used to it yet. Xu Yidao. "In the past, people were used to living in poverty, and most of them barely had a single gold coin in their hands, and of course they were a little resistant to taking a bus and horse-drawn carriage for several silver coins at a time. But now the income of the people in Bangta City is much higher than before. When they come to understand that time is more valuable than money, I can guarantee that there will be so many people on the bus that you can't even squeeze in. By that time, if you want to take the bus. I'm afraid you'll have to use the strength to breastfeed. ”

"How can it be so exaggerated......" Haynas couldn't help but retort, but thinking about what he had seen during his investigation in Bonta City these days, he found that it was not impossible.

The population of Bonta City is still growing rapidly, and people's incomes are much higher than they were when he last came to investigate.

If this continues, I'm afraid that everyone will really be willing to pay for the bus and horse-drawn carriage.

At that point, there is a real possibility of crowding.

"Hmm...... It's a good thing, and when I go back, I must call in the newspaper for the city of Anvimar to also have a city bus system. Haynas thought for a moment. "With this, we don't necessarily have to use our own carriage when we go out to play in the future. ”

Xu Yi glanced at him and said coldly, "Do you think Anweimar City can be established?"

"Why not ......"

Haynath stopped suddenly.

He suddenly thought. Xu Yi's question is not bad at all.

Anwemar City ...... Can a city public transport system really be built?

The establishment of the city of Bonta was due to the strong support of the lord of the city, Count Satsuma. It was also because of the large number of roads built outside the city of Bonta that made it easy for horse-drawn carriages to travel back and forth between these roads, which were not only fast but also steady.

And even the roads in Anweimar City are only paved with bluestone slabs, which are neither very spacious nor as smooth as the roads, and the hardware conditions alone are much worse than those of Bangta City.

In addition, the most important factor in establishing the city's public transport system is whether it can be sustained once it is established.

Both Count Satsuma and Xu Yi expressed confidence in the city's public transportation system, because the income of everyone in Bangta City has increased dramatically, and even ordinary civilians can afford to spend several silver coins a trip.

Although there are many big nobles and big businessmen in Anweimar City, and enough people can afford to ride the bus and horse-drawn carriage, but for these big nobles and big businessmen, they have money, so why should they ride in the same carriage with others? Why not use your own comfortable carriage?

The vast majority of ordinary people, who are most in need and desire for urban public transport systems, are unlikely to be willing to afford it, or even simply unable to afford it.

For many ordinary civilians in Anvimar City, even if it is just a few silver coins, it needs to be carefully calculated.

Thinking of this, Hainas suddenly found that two days ago, Xu Yi said that Bangta City wanted to surpass Anweimar City, which was no longer an empty word.

At least in terms of the income of ordinary civilians, Bonta City has left Anvimar City far behind.

"You ask how to raise the income level of ordinary civilians?" Xu Yi looked at Henas who had a serious expression on his face, and smiled: "Aren't you in Bangta City now, if you ask me, you might as well just investigate it yourself." Only with the most intuitive observation can you draw the most intuitive conclusions. I can only give you a hint, if you want to know why, go to the ordinary peasant houses in those villages outside the city. ”

Hainas nodded, and just wanted to write down Xu Yi's words, but suddenly his heart moved.

"Actually, instead of running around on my own, I should follow you everywhere, I'm sure that following you should be more rewarding, and I have a deeper understanding of the changes in Bangta City. ”

Xu Yi spread his hands and said: "Unfortunately, I was about to go out, and I won't be in Bangta City for a while, I'm afraid I won't have time to accompany you." ”

Haynes was stunned: "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to solve some problems in the Black Rice Wasteland, and by the way, I'm going to go to the Duchy of Stantin, there is a guy there who must be waiting for me very quickly, if I don't go, I'm afraid he'll come to Bonta City

Catch me. Xu Yi replied.

A ** smile appeared on Hainas's face, and he raised his eyebrows at Xu Yi and asked, "You shouldn't have provoked a little girl in the Duchy of Stantin, but abandoned the other party, right?"

Xu Yibai glanced at him: "Little girl, I brought two back when I went last time, and now I follow Vivian and Steele every day, do you want to meet them?"

With an exclamation on his face, Haynas stretched out a thumbs up to Xu Yi and praised, "I can't see that you are so strong." I really have to admire the two little girls who came from outside, not to mention, but dared to put them next to Steele generously. ”

"What a mess, not the kind you think. Xu Yi angrily reprimanded Haynas, too lazy to dwell on such a meaningless question with him, and continued: "In short, it will take at least half a month for me to come back this time, and it is impossible to accompany you around in Bangta City." Actually, if you really want someone to accompany you, go to the "Bonta Daily" and catch a random reporter, he is sure to be much more familiar than me. ”

"Well, I'm just talking, but I don't really want you, a busy man, to accompany me every day. But......" Haynas suddenly smiled a very strange smile. Xu Yi...... I don't know if it's good or bad news. ”

"What news you don't even know is good or bad?" Xu Yi asked in surprise.

"That's it...... Sophia may be coming in a few days......"

"Still coming?" Xu Yi was stunned for a moment, and then felt a headache.

When Sophia first came to Bonta City with Kennard, she inexplicably looked at Xu Yi in various ways, raising her eyebrows at him.

Although Xu Yi didn't care about her because she was just a little girl and Kennard's sister, she also felt a lot of headaches about it.

After that, Kennard decided to stay in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce as the general manager, and Sophia would come to visit if she had nothing to do.

Although he came to visit his brother on the surface, in fact, every time he came, he would take the initiative to find Xu Yi, and continue to raise his eyebrows and raise his eyes, which made Xu Yi very annoyed, but he was helpless.

So every time he heard that Sophia was coming, Xu Yi would feel a headache.

He couldn't really do anything with this naughty little girl, but he didn't want to be entangled by such a little girl.

"Okay, it's good for her to come now, just in time I'm leaving. When she came, she knew I wasn't there, and she must have stayed for a few days and would go back if she felt bored. Xu also said with some joy. "I really don't know what the hell is going on with her, why do you have to trouble me every time she comes, did I recruit her to provoke her?"

Henas looked at Xu Yi, and the expression on his face became even more strange.

"Hey, Xu Yi, do you really think so, or did you pretend on purpose?"

"What am I pretending?" Xu Yi was stunned.

"You don't know why Sophia is bothering you, is your head made of stone?" asked Haynas, seemingly incredulous.

Xu Yi asked curiously, "What do you want to say?"

Haynas stared at Xu Yi seriously for a long time, but he couldn't see the slightest fraud from the expression on his face, and couldn't help but cover his face and sigh: "I really don't know why Steele fell in love with such a guy as you, and I don't understand even more, how did she get with you?

Xu Yi thought for a while and replied, "If you want to talk about it, it should be her initiative...... But what does it matter, I like her, she likes me, and that's enough. What the hell are you trying to say?"

Henas blinked, with a look of being defeated by Xu Yi.

After a while, Henus let out another long sigh.

"Sophia, you're such a fool......"

Xu Yi looked at Henas with a puzzled expression.

What the hell is this guy trying to say? (To be continued......)
