Chapter 251: Radio Ticketing System, Population Bottleneck of Red Leaf City (6000 words)



Although big things happen in Hongye City from time to time, the legendary elves even came yesterday!

But for many civilians, today's incident is even bigger than the elves' incident! The elves were arranged by the city lord to stay in a specific place. As long as they don't take the initiative to come out, they are basically isolated from the world and have little to do with the civilians for the time being.

And now this matter is closely related to everyone! That is the train! Zhang Feng did not deliberately hide the word "train", and many people knew it.

This is a mode of transportation that is somewhat similar to a steam train, but also very different - that's what everyone who has seen it says.

But few people know the details, as the train has been in the factory all this time and has never been tested.

All they knew was that this type of train required a special "railway" to run.

Today is the day for the train test drive, and also the day when the "train road" is opened to traffic! Logically speaking, this shouldn't cause such a big sensation. After all, it's just a car. What kind of cars doesn't Hongye City have?

“It seems so…”

The correct version of this content can be found on 6/9*Shu.ba%! 【6*9*S*H*UBA.CX】

The interest rate is not high, only twenty points.

The other person wanted to say that no one would buy it, but was afraid of being embarrassed, so he said that only a few people would buy it.

"It seems so. Why is that? Can you run backwards?"

Under everyone's expectant gaze, the train slowly disappeared in a puff of white smoke, leaving only the strange tracks for everyone to comment on.

The cat-eared girl opened her mouth slightly. If there were a hundred cars, wouldn't that mean she could make a gross profit of one hundred thousand gold coins in three days!

If the ticket purchase was not a manual operation, it would probably take less than three seconds!

As for why only ten tickets are sold instead of limited to ten people, it is because this ticket can be used to bring others up, after all, there is a lot of space inside.

"I see. In that case, the license plate is indeed enough!"

"Da Qiang, I'll leave this to you. Make sure nothing goes wrong. When the train comes back, just give me the report."

"Go home, the train is back!"

Red Leaf Calendar, year 1, late July.

Shu Daqiang cleared his throat, waved to the train driver, and shouted at the top of his voice: "The route from Hongye Railway Station to Yunhai Railway Station is open! The trial operation of the 'Pu001' train has begun!"

"Thank you, Master!"

Zhang Feng flipped through it and didn't find any major problems, so he looked up and asked again.

When the passengers get off the bus and see someone sitting in his seat, they will probably be so surprised that their mouths will be wide open.

Watching the girls hit the ball into the hole accurately, Zhang Feng, who was sitting on a recliner, looked as if he had lost all hope in life.

After all, they were poor, and Zhang Feng understood that, so Zhang Feng provided them with loan business.

“…”

Zhang Feng patted Shu Daqiang on the shoulder and said.

Anything that sticks out between fingers is enough for them to eat for a long time.

Those who bought those tickets were all businessmen and nobles.

As long as Zhang Feng doesn't think about building roads and railways to the other side of the Sunset Mountains, he will basically not encounter any major problems.

"Your Excellency, the craftsmen all praised your design, saying that they had never seen such a large ship in their lives... Our dock has been built, and everyone is ready. Now we only need some materials. As long as the materials are in place, the construction of the ship can begin at any time!"

Great strength brings about miracles! And the elves also helped a lot in this process.

Everyone sighed with envy, but they were not discouraged. What if they had money? They would arrive with us anyway. Behind the ticket window, there was a small room with several large "iron boxes" in it.

If the train ticket system performs well, Zhang Feng will put it into use throughout the Far North.

Because the area allocated to them was large enough, and the elves all loved nature, this place became a vibrant place in just two or three days.

Zhang Feng finally understood why the trees in Yueyin Village were all in the shape of houses. This intuitive feeling opened his eyes.

Residents far away saw the train parked outside the train station and discussed it with great curiosity.

In the end, the facts slapped me in the face.

"Uh... According to what you said, my ticket for carriage number six means I can sit on the roof?"

"The man in carriage number eight fainted under the car..."

In addition to the owner of the ticket, you can bring two additional people with one ticket at no extra charge.

Many people may live in a small town all their lives, or even for generations. It’s not that they don’t want to leave, but they don’t have the money to leave!

At the same time, when lords from all over the country were busy building roads, Zhang Feng took a two-pronged approach and started large-scale construction of not only roads but also railways.

Not to mention it, it really feels great when you are lying on the green grass, feeling the gentle breeze, striking a cool pose, and gently swinging the club.

Hongye Railway Station.

Each person has a large space, and it contains everything, including food, which is provided by a dedicated person and does not require any additional payment.

"Finally you're back. It's worth it that I've waited so long!"

Although everyone wants to sit in this first-class carriage, the price is too expensive. If you want to go to Yunhai City, the price will be sky-high!

“…”

Compared to modern networks, this is definitely extremely slow and even prone to errors, but for the other world, it is already very good.

Going on a long journey?

In order to create the far north place in his mind, Zhang Feng did not spare any expense. Things like the railway station were all funded and built by Zhang Feng.

For example, on a deep pit, Nora took out something and buried it on the ground, and then let the surrounding trees grow wildly. In less than a minute, a "natural" bridge built by the trees appeared in front of everyone.

The location where the Hongye Railway Station is built is very open, so there is no need to worry about crowding and trampling, and it is large enough for people to watch.

Zhang Feng handed the golf club to the delighted cat-eared girl in a bad mood.

For most people, one silver coin was a lot of money. Although their salaries were much higher now, they were used to being poor and had to save money! After all, if you take a horse-drawn carriage or an ox-drawn cart, you only need ten copper coins to get started.

Zhang Feng had anticipated this situation.

The crops planted around Hongye City have turned yellow, and the harvest season has arrived.

“So long and big!”

But Zhang Feng didn't know much about electricity, so he needed to do some research to find out what was the most environmentally friendly and cost-effective way to generate electricity. There was no rush.

After saying this, Shu Daqiang didn't care about being excited and quickly handed the report to Zhang Feng.

“It can actually increase?”

"I finally understand why a train can hold dozens or even hundreds of people. It turns out it's because it's very long. I thought it would be like the 'Red Leaf Steam Train No. 1'..."

Only ten tickets are sold for the first-class carriage.

There are only so many seats on the train, so there must be not enough! But no one dared to refute it.

As for the issue of the "railway road", the entire Red Leaf City is covered with smooth roads built with cement and concrete. There are also some strange and magical roads, but no one is surprised, after all, this is Red Leaf City.

Previously, the number of humans and orcs combined was less than 2,000, but now it has grown to more than 9,000! Unprecedented!

There were red, green and yellow lines on the iron box. Some staff members were sitting in front of the iron box, making a beeping sound.

After the two left, Zhang Feng was somewhat expectant. He didn't know how long it would take to build this steamship. All the famous craftsmen in the entire Far North had been poached by him at high prices. With the assistance of orcs and steam engines, he believed it should not take long to build.

The next day.

If it was a game that relied on IQ, Zhang Feng could defeat everyone by relying on the fact that they were not familiar with it yet. However, for a game that required physical fitness, Zhang Feng could not compare with them. In addition, Zhang Feng was only a dabbler, so he had now completely become a background board.

Because there weren't too many people and the route was relatively simple, basically no mistakes occurred.

As for train tickets, the minimum starting price is one silver coin, with no upper limit, depending on the distance.

Even the cat-eared girl who had just started was much better than him.

Therefore, when people heard that this "civilian train" was about to be opened for trial operation, the news spread quickly in Hongye City, and countless people wanted to join in the fun and see whether this train was as fast, cheap, safe and stable as rumored.

"That's right. After all, he is the city lord..."

Statistics on the profitability of trains have been compiled.

“…”

"yes!"

"Of course, you can choose to refund your ticket or change it, but if you want to choose carriage number three, you will need to pay extra."

Erica lowered her head and stuck out her tongue a little embarrassedly, but she was still very curious about the question about the giant.

"But I don't want carriage number eight. I want carriage number three, okay? I like the number three!"

Someone asked.

The cat-eared girl looked at the list and said subconsciously that after staying in Hongye for a long time, she could describe such a small amount of money as "only".

It seemed that for Zhang Feng, making money was as easy as eating and drinking. He could make a lot of money just by making something! …

"Lord City Lord, everyone is praising you!"

A loud whistle sounded, and the train that people had been longing for finally came back!

There are even more concrete roads.

After telling the elves and the animal-eared girls the rules, Zhang Feng had nothing to do anymore.

It's just that the speed is a little slower, the comfort is a little worse, and the style is a little lower.

“So this is called a railroad track…”

An ordinary carriage can accommodate about a hundred people, with one seat per person, and there are certain regulations on the size of the luggage each person can carry.

When technology is combined with the power of "magic", it's hard not to be happy.

This is a radio that Zhang Feng brought from Hyundai.

Although the Far North is relatively cold and has fewer resources, it also has an advantage for Zhang Feng, that is, the terrain is flat and there is no rugged terrain.

There are even many people who bring their families with them, with no other intentions, they just want to experience what it feels like to take a train.

"That's a lot. After all, the seats are not full, and there is only one train, so it's definitely not too high. But you have to think about it. If we run 10 trains, or even 20, 50, or 100, how much profit will we make?"

While Shu Daqiang was flattering him, he also gave the entire report.

Three days later.

Time passed quickly, and it was noon three days later.

Erica asked curiously.

Only then, he would dare to say that he truly controlled the Far North! But it was still early. In addition to building large ships, Zhang Feng's next goal was to develop electricity.

Zhang Feng is very humble.

"Last time, it was a trial run, so there were only three carriages. Now it's officially operational, and there are currently ten carriages!"

Only after they bought the tickets did he speak in surprise: "Why is it shown as carriage number five on my ticket? If I remember correctly, this 'Pu001' doesn't have a fifth carriage, right? Could it be that I'm sitting in another car?"

Excluding buses, steam trains traveling out of Hongye City can usually seat eight passengers.

Not to mention the cat-eared girl, even other people, those who were used to seeing Zhang Feng's magical powers, were also surprised.

The second-class carriage can accommodate about 50 people. There are no single seats, but small compartments for four or six people. It can effectively block out noise, provide one's own privacy, and even allow sleeping. The restaurant will provide certain fruit snacks.

Therefore, apart from these, there is only one thing that can make people excited - the price! Although there are many steam cars in Hongye City, there are also many more people in Hongye City now, and only a few people can afford to ride steam cars, of course, except for buses, which only run in the city.

"Why are you asking so many questions? Go home!"

Without saying too much, as long as the entire Hongye City can have electricity, Zhang Feng will be very satisfied.

Erica smiled and said to Zhang Feng:

"Only one thousand gold coins for a round trip, so little!"

Woo——

When Zhang Feng was engaged in construction, he did not forget the younger brothers who supported him in the beginning.

"What about the situation in Yunhai City?"

I heard that this kind of train can go very far, and the starting price is only ten copper coins! Although there are some restrictions, such as only being able to get off at certain stations and not stopping at other times, and buying tickets in advance, leaving on time, and not waiting for latecomers, even if you have tickets, etc., but for most people, as long as the price is cheap enough, everything else is not a problem! If you can take such a cheap train, even if you are a commoner, you can go to other places in the Far North!

The sheriffs maintained order.

Zhang Feng got hold of radio very early, but it required a learning process. Zhang Feng selected some elite backbones and taught them the method.

"Wow! This is a train! It looks so strange!"

Even if we encounter it, just send a dozen or dozens of orcs over. What can't be solved?

In fact, Zhang Feng was overthinking it. The world tree in the Moon Shadow Elves' home can also move, so they often move to new places. They don't miss their hometown, but they just miss the world tree.

"Because the seats after carriage 4 are ordinary seats, carriage 4 is the dining car, and everyone can come here to order food. Carriages 3 and 2 are second-class seats, and carriage 1 is first-class seats, so the prices are different. First-class seats are the most expensive, and ordinary seats are the cheapest. As for the differences between the various seats, there are instructions over there, you can go and take a look."

Many people come to the railway from Yunhai City to Hongye City.

Oh my god, is this a robbery? Of course, she also knew that the account could not be calculated in this way. There are many other factors, such as season, population, etc. But it still surprised her.

At this time, Zhang Feng was playing golf in Yueyin Village.

"Wow, it turns out that the train's wheels are stuck on the rails, how magical! But... in this case, won't the train derail?"

After listening to the staff, everyone rushed to check the instructions. They were shocked when they saw them.

There isn't much introduction to the carriages, and many things can't be explained clearly, so you can only go and experience it yourself.

Facing the discussion of the crowd, a staff member immediately came out to explain:

Three more railways were built.

Shu Daqiang trotted over and handed the document to Zhang Feng.

The price of a regular seat starts at ten copper coins, a second-class seat starts at one silver coin, and a first-class seat starts at an astonishing one gold coin! The reason why it is so expensive is because the number of passengers and the services are different.

“…”

Because he felt that the population seemed to have reached its limit.

It’s not the limit of Red Leaf City, but the limit of the Far North.

The legend of Red Leaf City has long spread in the Far North, and almost no one does not want to visit Red Leaf City, but due to financial constraints, they cannot travel too far. Now with the cheap trains, it is different, no matter how poor they are, they can afford it if they grit their teeth.

It was obvious that no one believed what the sheriff said.

Now it finally comes in handy.

However, Zhang Feng also stipulated that there are some places where people are not allowed to go, such as railroad tracks, and safety awareness must be cultivated in advance.

However, the bank has not yet been officially opened to the public and currently only serves the lords.

Someone spoke up.

This thing does not need a satellite. It mainly uses ionosphere reflection to propagate. The propagation distance surrounds the planet. In the alien world, this thing is definitely a magical tool! Because the train ticket is quite special, it needs to be connected to the Internet, but there is no Internet here, so Zhang Feng can only use radio instead.

But Zhang Feng was not too happy.

"Giant? What giant? Are there any giants in the world? Why do you want to stand on their shoulders?"

"Oh, I am just standing on the shoulders of giants! It's not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning!"

"Hey, look, does this train have two heads?"

Woo——

In fact, it’s not that they can’t afford it, but most civilians feel that there is no need to spend so much money.

“…”

The train ran better than Zhang Feng expected.

"Yes! I promise to complete the task!"

Shu Daqiang quickly promised to arrive.

Once suitable personnel have been recruited, Hongye Bank will officially open for business.

"Very good, there are basically no problems. Some minor errors are within the range allowed by the city lord. Tell everyone that the train needs to rest for a day. If there are no problems, tickets will start selling tomorrow!"

"Lord City Lord, this is the situation of the trial opening."

"No one...few people will buy it!"

This is already very low in the other world.

"No one should buy such an expensive ticket, right?"

"Don't crowd, line up in order, there are plenty of seats!"

"Why?"

Today's radios all use batteries, which are sufficient for radios, but definitely not enough for Zhang Feng.

The name of the Moon Hidden Village was naturally given by him, with the purpose of giving these elves who had left their homes a spiritual home.

Hongye City is currently in the period before the crops mature, and everyone is generally relatively idle at this time. Just like now, in order to take this super cheap train, hundreds of people have gathered at the entrance of the train station alone, not to mention those on the road.

In July and August, the entire Far North is very lively.

Zhang Feng left in a special car, but the people did not leave. They were still very curious about the train. Even those who had less time were ready to wait here to see when the train would return.

The inspector on the car showed his data along the way to Shu Daqiang.

The place was bustling with people.

"Yeah, not bad."

"No more playing, no more playing, you guys play!"

"yes!"

Zhang Feng knocked her angrily.

The whistle let out a shrill scream, a large amount of steam belched out, and the wheels began to turn with a clanging sound.

“It’s moving, it’s moving!”

When building the road, things like cutting through mountains or building bridges over rivers almost never happened.

Zhang Feng, who had a rare chance to rest, took up a "noble sport" - golf.

But only at this time.

In less than two minutes, the ten most expensive tickets were sold out.

Zhang Feng said while tapping her little head.

But seeing the speechless looks of Zhang Feng and others, she handed it back to Zhang Feng somewhat embarrassedly.

Red Leaf Calendar, late August of year 1.

Zhang Feng was willing to lend them money, which made them burst into tears of gratitude. After all, they were not stupid. As long as they had money, they would definitely invest in this 100% profitable business! Taking this opportunity, Zhang Feng established a bank in another world - Hongye Bank.

For them, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a luxury.

Because many roads were opened, the population of Hongye City experienced its biggest explosion.

"good!"

"Tsk, this was designed by the city lord. The city lord must have thought of the problem you mentioned. He must have a solution!"

"What a loud sound, I love it!"

I have to say that the Moon Shadow Elves' talent for communicating with plants and trees is simply a BUG.

Zhang Feng nodded, and then said to Erica who was grinding coffee next to him: "Erica, go to the factory and transfer the materials to Yunhai City. The construction of the ship can begin now."

The number of people visiting Hongye City has seen a slight increase.

In the past, at this time of year, every household would be on guard against horse thieves, but now, not only in Hongye City, but in the entire Far North, there is no such worry.

Because horse thieves are a thing of the past.

Even if there are still some fish that slip through the net, they dare not act openly, otherwise they will be taught a lesson by the "Steam Car Corps" that will arrive at any minute.

Looking at the lush wheat, rice and other crops, the farmers were all smiling from ear to ear. This year's harvest is definitely much higher than any previous year!

No need to worry about not having enough to eat or going hungry anymore! The welfare given to them by the city lord is welfare after all. Only these real food can make them feel more at ease! At the same time, a large number of dark figures appeared thirty miles away from Silver Pine City, the gateway to the Far North!
