Chapter 752: Traffic Rules
Secretary-General is a typical place with low status and weight.
No one dares to underestimate any secretary here, because they are all people who can easily see Li Ze and speak.
But this does not mean that they have a very generous income.
Now, the various departments and offices of the Wuyi court are generally extremely honest and have extremely strict supervision. In addition to supervising the censor, the omnipresent Yixing Society can also play a role in investigation. Once bribery and bribery are exposed, the punishment will be extremely severe.
Therefore, even though Chen Wenliang was in such a central authority, he could only live on his salary. His family was extremely burdened, and his parents had no ability to work and could only be supported by him. The monthly medicine fee was also quite high. Even his wife was still doing things in an embroidery store. Fortunately, the owner of this embroidery store knew more about where the secretary was, and he offered his wife the highest salary, which made the family live a little better.
But horses are hard to afford.
The daily consumption of a horse is more than raising a person. Even a mule and a donkey is completely unnecessary in Chen Wenliang's opinion.
He gets up every day at 4 o'clock and walks all the way from the outer city. Then he walks back after the day's official duties. If the official duties are delayed, it will be even later.
He has been short of sleep for a long time.
Two dark circles naturally became standard. Now that I have more sleep time, I naturally don’t have this sign.
"Now with a public carriage, it's much better. If I spend two cents a day, I can sit at the gate of the inner city and then walk all the way." Chen Wenliang said happily.
As for the carriage worth ten cents in the inner city, he was absolutely reluctant to let go.
"Four pennies a day, only one hundred and twenty pennies a month, which is indeed much cheaper than raising livestock." Li Ze said with a smile.
Chen Wenliang shook his head repeatedly and said, "Li Xiang, the buses and carriages in the outer city only cost 100 people a month."
"Why?" Li Ze was stunned, but then he immediately reacted, "They weren't making any monthly tickets or something?"
Chen Wenliang was also stunned and said for a long time: "Li Xiang, you are really a god. You can also guess such a thing, they have only been doing it for a few days! Of course, people like me knew about it immediately, so they quickly went to do one."
Take out a small card from the sleeve and put it in front of Li Ze. Chen Wenliang looked at Li Ze with respectful eyes.
Looking at the small card with very rough workmanship in front of him, Li Ze couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.
The wisdom of the working people is indeed endless, and it extends from one thing to another so quickly.
Great!
Pulling the official document that Chen Wenliang had just sent to him, Li Ze asked: "What is the main thing I sent to him today?"
Chen Wenliang said: "Li Xiang, the matter is not a big deal, but Mr. Gongsun said that you should take a look. This is a report submitted by the Public Transportation Management Department. Because these things have never been done before, Mr. Gongsun said he was not sure."
"Oh, what did they say?" Li Ze opened the official document and only looked at a few lines, but was stunned again.
The report submitted by the newly established yamen actually wanted to divide the roads into two different parts: pedestrian and horses in the city. Their reasons are that people, cars and horses are mixed, and it is safe. According to their investigations during this period, there have been several accidents of animals being frightened and injured in people in the outer city. Secondly, after separation, the operation efficiency of vehicles can be effectively improved. It is not only beneficial to public transportation, but also to those goods entering the city and outside the city, which can greatly speed up the speed of traffic, which greatly alleviates the crowded traffic conditions in the outer city.
Below the official document, there are also some schematic diagrams that explain in detail how people walk, how vehicles walk, and how livestock such as horses walk.
He couldn't help laughing.
"Li Xiang, do you think it's unnecessary?"
"No, no, no, it's very necessary!" Li Ze smiled a little more and more: "There are too many people, too many cars, and too many horses in Wuyi now. It really needs to be standardized. However, this report is not perfect. Tell them what to do with roads like intersections and T-junctions? According to their methods, at such intersections, it will still be blocked, but I'm afraid it will be even more blocked."
"That's true!" Chen Wenliang read the report in detail and thought about it, and it was true.
"Second, what if someone violates this regulation after it is issued? There is no such thing as this!" Li Ze smiled and said, "If you can't arrest someone like this, you can't lock them up or hit a board, right?"
Chen Wenliang took a breath: "Xiaguan had thought their report was very detailed before. You said that there were still many loopholes. It seems that they need to write another report in detail."
"Yes, if a system is implemented, you must consider more, set the rules and let everyone know quickly, and you must be punished without teaching." Li Ze smiled and returned the report to Chen Wenliang.
Seeing Chen Wenliang leaving in a hurry, Li Ze smiled happier. He felt that with the wisdom of these officials, maybe there would be a traffic fine next time.
Well, that's another income.
I'm afraid the amount will definitely not be small.
I went back to tell Xia He about the news, and I thought she was happy.
The newly established yamen is always full of energy. In order to achieve some impressive results and to make the superior departments pay more attention to themselves, it was working overtime with gritted teeth. Less than ten days after Li Ze called their report back, a thick re-made report appeared in front of Li Ze again.
After carefully looking through the report, Li Ze found that what he was expecting finally looked like. He had seen some shadows of modern traffic rules.
For example, a special manpower was set up at the intersection for command, for example, passing by on the right, turning right can pass directly, etc. He saw that the specific stopping locations of buses and carriages were specified, and other buses, such as private horses, were not allowed to stay on the street at will. The result of violating these regulations is: fines!
There are many types of fines, and there are no less than dozens of them.
Li Ze was overjoyed when he saw it.
This is great.
It is time to cultivate the awareness of rules for ordinary people.
This is a good thing.
Anything can be included in the rules. When everyone has formed a habit, everything becomes rules and regulations.
Li Zeya was excited.
He simply picked up his pen and added all the traffic rules he knew and whatever he thought he could use. He even wrote down all the gestures used by those who were directing the traffic in detail.
Thinking about the way when I crossed the intersection, I saw some people in uniform standing upright on the platform, waving their arms to direct traffic. Li Ze felt extremely happy.
This revised and improved traffic regulations will be submitted to various departments for review. Xia He is happy as long as he has income. This is not considered a heavy tax. As long as you do not violate the rules, you naturally don’t have to pay the money. The Ministry of Works naturally agrees, because these incomes will be allocated to the Ministry of Works to improve road traffic across the country. Even if other departments think that it is too wide to manage how to walk, it is not a big deal. If everything goes well, it will make Wuyi look more rules and become a model in the world, which is also a good thing.
So all the staff passed.
Immediately afterwards, this regulation was published in the full text of the Datang Weekly.
The entire Wuyi suddenly started to act.
The Ministry of Works did not have enough staff, so Guo Fengxiao went to ask Liu Ruyan, the general of the Right Qianniu Guard, to draw some people from the army to help brush the dividing line and the zebra crossing on the street. Of course, they could figure out the dividing line, and the zebra crossing was added by Li Ze later.
A wooden platform was built at every intersection, and a locked box below the platform was used to collect fines. On the platform, people standing naturally were people who command traffic, wearing red uniforms and white gloves, which were both eye-catching and cool. These people were all wearing weapons, and they were given priority to hire those retired from the army. Not only could they command traffic, but they could also serve as a role in maintaining public order when necessary, and help the constables arrest illegal and criminals.
Their salary is collected and paid by the Public Transport Management Department, but the Ministry of Revenue does not pay these people.
One month later, it began to be implemented formally.
Li Ze went to experience it himself, got on an ordinary carriage, and truly experienced the feeling of waiting for the red light.
After a short period of chaos and discomfort, the people of Wuyi quickly adapted to this new system. Anyway, Wuyi has been changing over the years, from a small county to a thoroughfare city, and then to become the political and cultural center of the entire north, every change will bring countless new things, and everyone is used to accepting these new things, and even proud of them.
Of course, in a month, the entire Wuyi fined for violating these regulations also made Guo Fengxiao and Xia He overjoyed, and there were tens of thousands of coins.
Guo Fengxiao felt that he could use this part of the money to do more, while Xia He was able to generate income from the Ministry of Industry, so she could naturally give them less money, and the remaining money could be invested in other places.
In short, the more money, the better.
If it is inconvenient, it is not very good for ordinary people. Anyway, they will not ride horses around Wuyi City. On the contrary, those powerful, powerful and rich people are in trouble now. If they cannot find a place to tie the horse, they will definitely not be able to stay. It is not that they cannot pay the fine, but that they cannot afford to lose this person.
Chapter completed!
