Chapter 370
The Imperial Palace, above the Imperial Court.
"Your Highness, although this public transportation proposal is good, the investment is also very small!"
"Nowadays, there are millions of people in Xianyang City and its surroundings, and if you want to meet the travel needs of the people of Xianyang City, even if you invest tens of thousands of manned vehicles, it may not be enough. "
"Don't look at the price of a single car, but a large number is a lot of money. ~"
"And the really expensive thing is the salary of the passenger car, according to the calculation of the current court project, a person will have at least one and a half to two dollars a day, which is much more expensive than a car. "
"It's fine for a short distance, but it's too low to travel all over Xianyang City for one penny?"
"Today's Xianyang City, surrounded by a circle, is a hundred miles away!"
Nesten held a thick stack of account books and said stubbornly.
For the improvement of traffic in Xianyang City, the household department is naturally very welcome.
However, after calculating for a long time, the household department was depressed to find that if it was according to the price set by Fusu, this public transportation project would only lose money.
And this is still calculated based on the flow of people in Xianyang City, if it is in the rest of the counties, I am afraid that it will lose more.
"Public transport projects are not intended to make a profit, and some losses are normal. "
"The real income is the commercial growth that comes with the increase in passenger traffic, especially from visiting relatives and friends and tourism. "
"In recent years, the people of Daqin have begun to have a little extra money on hand, and since they have spent all the fares when they go out, they will definitely not be empty-handed, and whether it is food or shopping, the imperial court has taxes. "
"And public transportation does not need to be completely covered at the beginning, dozens of lines with the highest traffic can be opened first, so as to disperse the traffic pressure and facilitate the needs of the people. "
"Public transportation, don't look at the single price is very low, but as long as it can be full, the number of round-trips is more, it is also a lot of income, it is difficult to make a profit, but it is still possible to protect the capital, or to lose less. "
"As for the areas that are not covered by public transportation for the time being, we can let the people who buy passenger bicycles as a supplement, which is just a channel for them to increase their income. "
"Public transportation, at this time, can also play a role in guiding the price. "
Fusu smiled slightly.
Don't underestimate this little bike.
Even in the later generations before the Fusu crossing, in some small counties, there were not many bus trips, and the last few kilometers from the station to the surrounding area were not very convenient, full of motorcycles.
When Fusu was a child, he relied on a three-wheeled motorcycle similar to Shifeng to go from the village to the town, and there were two long benches in the back of the car, which could easily carry more than ten people.
After the ban on motorcycles, short-distance transportation is still dominated by electric vehicles and human-powered tricycles.
Therefore, bicycle-based public transportation is completely achievable in Daqin.
Although the speed is a little slower, for the people of Daqin, it is already much faster than walking, and the comfort is much stronger than that of a bumpy carriage.
For bus companies, bicycles are much cheaper than horse-drawn carriages, and they are extremely easy to maintain.
Although public transport will still inevitably lose money, it is completely acceptable to exchange for commercial growth again.
In this way, the minister has no opinion. "
Neshi Ten thought about it in his heart, and also agreed with Fusu's point of view.
Now that Daqin's commercial development has come to a bottleneck stage, if it wants to grow explosively again, it is necessary to improve the infrastructure.
Infrastructure construction is not only about building roads and opening canals, but also about this means of transportation.
Especially in areas such as Xianyang City where the curfew has been postponed, the mall area after dark is actually more lively, but the difficulty of the return journey makes many people who live in relatively remote areas still reluctant to go out.
And if there is a cheap and easy-to-use means of transportation, the flow of people and transactions in the business area can leap again, and the tax revenue of the imperial court will naturally rise again.
This principle of digging a well first in terms of draught water, Ne Shi Teng quickly figured it out.
"The other thing, but it's a great thing!"
Chen Ping said with a smile on his face: "Since the news of the bicycle production workshop raising funds came out, the major chambers of commerce in Daqin have directly fried the pot, and the big businessmen who came to visit are about to step on the threshold of the household!" (Read the violent novel, go to the Feilu novel network!)
"In just three days, I received at least 10,000 yuan of investment intentions, and the licensing fee for bicycle patents was speculated to more than 10 million yuan!"
0 begging for flowers
There was a sudden sound of inhalation in the court.
Although all the officials know that Daqin is very rich now, it is definitely not an exaggeration to describe it as a rich country and a strong people.
But a small bicycle, within three days, there is an investment amount of 10,000 yuan, which still amazes many people. []
And the authorization fee of 10 million yuan made many Confucian officials stunned.
Is there so much cost for a technology just to sell a license?
They all regretted that they didn't study engineering in the first place.
It is no wonder that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been advocating the vigorous development of science and technology, and the contribution to the economy is really not a subset of economic history, which can be compared with Meng Yue.
"Patent authorization, it seems that the speed of progress of the merchants of Daqin is not slow!"
"Since they all gave high prices, we can't refuse the sincerity of others, we can give technology, but the same, we are only allowed to build factories within Daqin, and we must not leak technology to foreign lands!"
According to Prince Ben's opinion, this 10 million can be taken out of 500,000 as a bonus for the bicycle research and development team of the Academy of Engineering. "
Newspapers and other media can also hype up this matter, guide the people of Daqin to invest in scientific research, and enhance the motivation of Daqin craftsmen to develop new machinery. "
"All counties and counties can also carry out some inventions and creations again, as long as they can actually contribute to Daqin, they can directly have the government take the lead to help link businessmen into actual production and transform them into actual productivity!"
Fusu smiled slightly.
The people of Great Qin are not incapable of creativity.
Otherwise, there would be no giants like Gongyi and Mozi.
It's just that the previous inventions and creations made too little profit, so the people's focus was not on this.
And now, with the efforts of Daqin, Daqin has begun to move forward towards a science and engineering power, and this time, the sky-high patent fee can be used as a booster to make Daqin's road to science and technology take a big step forward again.
The development of science and technology is the fundamental mountain of industrialization.
