When the Saint comes, she does not collect food

Chapter 1201 Three Major Projects Launched!
Horn's high-profile visit to the signal pylon itself is a striking political signal.

Although Sharpcha Signal Company has not yet been established, it has already attracted the attention of many investors.

Although the company is owned by Shengli Group and fully controlled by Shenglian, there are still huge profits behind it.

For example, the procurement and manufacturing of signal components, the construction team for laying the signal, and the design of the route.

Before long, newspapers reported on the company's establishment and announced the reconstruction of the signal towers along the Hot Springs-St. Catherine-Jendrätz-Torrent line.

Because this was a renovation of an existing line, the process was extremely fast, taking only one month to complete.

After a month of hype in the newspapers, many ordinary people are also very curious about this signal light.

In particular, lottery players and speculators in Jiliu City arrived at the mail station early to wait.

The citizens of these Rapids City are different from those of St. Regis. The citizens of the St. Regis industrial economic zone (Hot Springs Fortress, St. Regis, and Jeanne d'Arc Fortress) mostly wear uniform clothing.

The French fashion magazine generally refers to it as "workwear style" and "monk style".

A blue stiff fabric shirt, brown straight-leg overalls, and a work jacket (similar to a work jacket) over it when it gets cold – this is the typical worker's attire.

Black trousers, woolen vest, and knee-length monk's robes—this is the attire of government personnel.

As the bureaucratic and industrial center of the Holy Alliance, although their styles varied, their forms were largely the same.

After all, this is the clothing worn by the main body of the Holy Machine Court's economic circle—workers and bureaucrats.

Of course, this is still a stereotype of the Holy Alliance held by Fran.

If you went to the research area on the other side of the strait and saw those college students, you'd see a chaotic mess of clothes.

The reason for this situation is also quite obvious.

In Saint Union, Hot and Cold Springs Fortress is a mining and refining center and a center for basic metal processing.

Saint-Herding is a center for parts processing and assembly, and heavy metal refining, which is equivalent to heavy industry.

In J.J. de J., most of the industries are light industries such as garment manufacturing and papermaking.

This economic zone is primarily based on the secondary industry.

As a hub for water and land transportation, the city of Turbulent was a gathering place for immigrants from Franco and Leia.

It relies on the transportation and financial industries as its economic center, so the tertiary industry in the city is exceptionally developed.

This has created many speculators and idle gamblers, and has also attracted a large number of immigrants.

Firstly, they had not yet been assimilated by the clothing culture of the Holy Alliance, and secondly, the atmosphere in Rapid City was relatively more free and undisciplined.

Therefore, you can see people dressed in all kinds of clothing around the signal tower.

You can see people wearing Black Snake Bay shirts, people wearing traditional Shapley citizens' clothing, and people wearing Saint Union work clothes.

There were even people wearing traditional aristocratic silk robes with gold tassels, who weren't afraid of being beaten.

Art Forest magazine once praised it highly, saying that walking on the streets of Kyushu City was like seeing people from the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s all together.

To demonstrate the freedom and diversity of Rapids City.

However, only they know their own situation; Jiliu City has been ranked second to last in terms of public security by the Holy Alliance for several consecutive years.

Considering that Black Snake Bay Heavenly Maiden City is the last place, this second to last place can already be considered the last place.

In this environment, residents of Rapids City, whether local or from out of town, all hope to get rich overnight in Rapids City.

Coupled with a relatively relaxed atmosphere, people have come to perceive the people of Jiliu City as shrewd, cunning, and boastful.

At this moment, some busybodies stood around the signal tower, whispering among themselves.

In order to promote the use of cell towers to the public, and incidentally get major exchanges to contribute funds.

Horn even went so far as to create a gimmick by producing what he claimed was a letter from Hot Springs Castle to Charlottetown.

These signal towers are only single-channel signal towers.

Therefore, currently only civilian short messages with a length of no more than 10 minutes can be transmitted. Over the past month, the signal company has been using abbreviations for commonly used terms to increase information density.

Based on the current decoding table, it can transmit 30 words of characters at a time.

Today's education lottery draw involves selecting 10 letters, with an additional 100 pounds added to the prize pool for each consecutive correct answer.

However, these citizens couldn't understand how the traffic signal worked; they could only see the flashing lights at the top of the tower and were speechless for a moment.

Among the whispering gamblers and speculators were two impeccably dressed gentlemen.

They weren't from the Holy Alliance, but merchants from out of town, who mingled in the crowd, chatting as they waited.

"I heard that the Shattered Stone Plains are short of people?" This Leia merchant was in the business of selling piglets.

The so-called "selling piglets" actually refers to packing up refugees and displaced people and transporting them to the construction site of a lord's palace.

After the Kingdom of Leia suffered an epic defeat, the nobles who had previously indulged in extravagant construction projects were drained of their wealth by the Holy Alliance and the Fran.

At present, it is naturally impossible to continue large-scale construction and build luxurious palaces.

Adding to the deaths caused by war and plague, many areas of Leia are now eerily quiet.

Fran has its own vast human resources, and Norn simply lacks the capacity and funds for large-scale construction.

The only company with projects, willingness, and funding is Shenglian.

Not only is there, but it's huge.

Workers can obtain a Saint Union labor certificate once they have completed a three- to five-year labor contract.

With this certificate, even if you don't yet have Saint John's Citizen status, you can apply for citizenship as long as you have no criminal record within the past year.

Alternatively, with this certificate, one could acquire a piece of land on the Shattered Plains and directly obtain Holy Alliance citizenship.

“Yes, the Shattered Stone Plains Northern Continent Railway Project.” The man in the silk top hat couldn’t help but exclaim, “This grandson of the Holy One, I don’t know whether to call him a visionary or a man of great talent and ambition?”

According to the tender documents and plans now released by the Holy Alliance, three large railways, one horizontal and two vertical, will be built.

At the county level, there are also small railway projects connecting mining areas, rivers, and workshops.

According to the estimates of these old merchants, building railways only in key areas, combined with water transport, would be more than enough.

Building this railway is a good idea, but it is seriously mismatched with the current needs of the Holy Alliance.

Newspapers even featured public inquiries from elected officials, who even gave it a name: "farsightedness."

The signal tower project, the railway project, and the initial military reforms and troop re-equipment quickly emptied the Saint Union's treasury, which had just started to have a surplus.

As for how the hat merchants knew this, you can find out by reading the Tai Kung Pao from the Consultative Yuan these past few days.

These days, those pro-Sun Yat-sen faction members are advocating for the issuance of more government bonds every day!

Some radical representatives even proposed to completely replace metal currency with paper money and declare that private possession of more than 100 kilograms of gold would be illegal.

The most frightening episode is here—the grandson neither nodded nor shook his head, but simply put it aside.

"Who cares? It's best if he's willing to spend money, then we can get some too."

The man in the top hat was about to speak when he was drowned out by the surging sound.

"I'm coming!"

"The decoding is complete. What's the bulletin?"

"Is it the great saintly grandson Wan Piao?"

Seeing this, the two stopped talking and quietly waited for the winning numbers to be drawn.

Standing on the steps beside the tower, the decoder shouted, "The contents of the letter are—"

"Hello World."
