I'm the King Of Technology

Chapter 1285 - A Visitor Arrives

--Paitus Coastal city, South-West, Arcadina--

~Flap. Flap. Flap Flap.

The many sounds of birds fluttering their wings and singing could be heard across the rowdy streets.

People on wagons, some in their carriages and others on horses instead. The source of this ᴄontent is NoᴠelFɪre.net

The roads were bustling, and the sidewalks were packed as well.

The summer was in its pique, with several children playing with all sorts of toys and puppets, some from Baymard and some from their local community.

The streets were bustling with workers, secretaries, traffic control officers, garbage workers, and many other professions that had one by one emerged into existence over the years.

Yes. The city had already been reforming, as countless changes were as clear as day.

And amidst the bubbling crowd of passerbys, a close-roof wagon finally pulled up towards an open-spaced region, dispatching the passengers on it.

"Alright. Alright. Out ya' go! Com'on! Everyone, step out now. And for those of yah' that haven't paid up yet, I want my money. So don't force me to roughen you up! Out! Out! Out!"

A moderately built man stood at the back of the large wagon, hastening the passengers to get off his wagon!

Yes! From Baymard's emergence of taxis and cabs, several people who used to carry one or two strangers whenever they travelled or transported their goods to and fro the towns, villages and cities, had now cooked up a better idea when thinking of how to make more money.

But it wasn't just them, as their crowned Monarch also decided to show interest.

.

Every time Willaim came to Baymard, he would come with several trusted officials.

And throughout his stay in Baymard, he typically visited the Arcadinian territories around Baymard's borders.

From there, he stationed and positioned several of these trusted officials across the scene as he liked.

Why? Well, that was because he had a grand plan in mind.

For one, William was trying to not only solve the problem of transportation across his empire but also find ways to increase employment while at the same time making money too.

And all this was due to the epiphany he had after observing Baymard's inner workings.

That's right.

Within Baymard, the new territories also had fixed transportation buses that took people from different towns, cities and villages at specific times.

It worked just as the transport ship system worked.

The buses would come at 1~3 specific times a day. And everything was controlled at the bus stations built across the various Baymardian territories.

The Baymardians had successfully honed those people living in those territories to work at the wooden-cabin-like bus stations.

And at the same time, they were still collecting transport fares.

So wasn't that just too awesome?

William felt as though he and the former monarchs were just fools for coming up with such a simple yet ingenious way to keep money circulating in the empire.

Genius! Just too ingenious!

.

William, as well as Penelope and the other Monarchs, were also very excited to start improving transportation in their empires.

And as though a light bulb had suddenly clicked in Willaim's mind, he also wanted to create Government Arcadinian Transportations around various territories.

At first, he ran into some problems after establishing it around the Arcadinian regions bordering Baymard's.

But after listening to Landon's suggestion, things seemed to be moving smoother than before.

One shouldn't forget that Arcadina alone as a whole was bigger than several continents in this world.

So he typically wondered about management, operating schedules and whatnot.

Of course, Landon had suggested that he break things down and create states/provinces/prefectures.

And, the majority of the transport wagons/buses would rotate within each state, not going leaving the state borders. Only a few would leave for regions out of the states instead.

Take for example, some of the Arcadinian cities and towns around Baymard's borders.

They grouped them and tried to create time schedules just as Baymard did.

Some of their trips could take a day by wagon, while others could take up to 4 days while others 9 days.

But no matter what, they created a fixed set of boundaries that they had to follow while creating the bubbles.

.

For starters, they grouped regions where wagon trips wouldn't exceed 10 days of travel from the central/Capital city in the bubble.

So in essence, they were creating a prefecture/state and selected one city to be the Capital city.

Now, these wagon trips/ bus trips could move within the premature/state they were assigned to, making management more effortless.

For now, Willaim has only officially formed 3 prefectures within Arcadina.

And they all bordered Baymard's territories.

He planned to start from this end and slowly grow and create others in this manner for the next 6~10 years max.

And as for villages within the newly formed prefectures, for now, no wagons would be stopping in those regions because bandits and other criminals were typically most likely to be around those regions.

Another thing that Willaim ensured was that while travelling, Wagon/Bus station guards would also travel alongside the passengers.

Unlike Baymard, where they had done a great deal in subduing all their bandits and even taking care of the animal problems in their new territories, he was still far behind in this aspect.

So in the meantime, this was the best he could do.

Yes!

William was working hard on establishing many more bubbles, creating orderliness, improving employment, as well as increasing the empire's annual generated income.

Sigh... Being a monarch wasn't easy. So he didn't understand how the late Alec Barn had the ball to sleep on the job.

Now, Arcadina's era of change had truly begun.

And even though William was working diligently, a few ordinary folks also decided to convert their wagons into transport buses.

And at this moment, a certain person's eyes glowed dangerously from within the wagon.

"You there! Get up for this daddy, and get off my wagon! What?.... Are you deaf! I want my money, I do! I carried you for 3 whole days. So you better pay up or die!!"
