Chapter 1580 Postal system planning meeting
On November 10, the 20th year of Tianxuan, regardless of the hardships of his journey, Qu Mao held a meeting with Xinping, Li Xiang, and Sunan in the meeting room on the third floor of the lord's hut as soon as he returned to the holy land of Emperor Yi's territory. After entering the effective communication distance of the magic communication crystal, Qu Mao contacted Xinping to organize this meeting.
Kong Ming and Xuande haven't seen Qu Mao for a long time, so they also participated in the meeting with the cheek.
Walking into the conference room, the five veteran core heroes of Emperor Yi's territory were already waiting for Qu Mao.
Qu Mao found a place to sit down, stretched out his fingers and tapped the conference table, and said: "Everyone, in the long-distance communication, I have introduced to Xinping our current embarrassment in information communication.
Currently, the communication methods in our Yidi territory mainly rely on two aspects, one is the intelligence department, and the other is the magic communication tower.
Everyone must be aware of the obstacles of the magic communication tower: calls can only be made within a radius of 1,000 kilometers around the magic communication tower in the front yard of the lord's hut. Now it has fully met the communication needs of our Yidi territory. The range of calls is actually mainly concentrated in Yidi Territory Holy Land and a few areas of the Eastern Continent Tassel Empire.
After the unification of the Eastern Continent, the Ministry of Intelligence played a role that cannot be ignored in realizing the connection between the Holy Land of Emperor Yi and the independent territories on the Eastern Continent. However, the carrier pigeons of the Ministry of Intelligence cannot deliver a large amount of information, let alone periodicals and magazines. Whether it is the "Easy Island Weekly" in the Holy Land or the monthly "Another World Experience Record" in the Xinshou Village of the Eastern Continent, they cannot be delivered by means of carrier pigeons.
I think that since the establishment of the Ministry of Intelligence, our entire communication has relied too much on the pigeons raised in southern Jiangsu. In the early days, it could speed up our information transmission process, but judging from the current needs, it has hindered the development of our communication industry.
We are normally at our current stage of development, and the main information transmission should be completed by post stations. However, since the establishment of Yidi Territory, the post station system only existed for a short time when our scope of activities was still limited to Yi Island or outlying islands.
At that time, we did set up some post stations, and for this reason, we went to the Liuwang Principality at that time to purchase some rough horses to ensure the operation of the post stations, but that period was too short.
Since the eighth year of Tianxuan, our land transportation has mainly been solved by railways, so that our stone road construction is not particularly complete, which has now become our biggest shortcoming. "
Sunan and Li Xiang looked at each other, and then happily recalled the road construction and operation of the station. After all, the stone road on Yidao Island was basically built by Sunan and Li Xiang bit by bit. , The follow-up stone roads on other islands were also built by Li Xiang.
In the early days, Xinping did not suggest that Qu Mao set up the intelligence department, but he also participated in the construction of roads, so the three of them played together, and quickly recalled the difficulties of starting a business in the Yidi territory in the early days.
After the three of them chatted for about 10 minutes, Kong Ming gently put the goose feather fan on the conference table, coughed, and said, "Three, my lords invite you to come here to discuss the construction plan of the postal system in our Yidi territory. Matters, you digress!
Reminiscing about bitterness and sweetness, you find time to go to the tavern opposite the lord’s hut for dinner, with a few glasses of wine, wouldn’t it be more comfortable than reminiscing bitterness and sweetness here?
Let’s get back to the right track and seriously discuss the construction and planning of the post office system. I also think this matter is more important. The problem of information transmission for our managers should not be a big problem, but the information transmission of ordinary people seems to be not so smooth. "
Su Nan organized the language and said: "My lord, my subordinates feel that your request is very urgent, and we cannot solve this matter according to the conventional construction or development in the past. We must set up a special project to solve this matter.
Of course, the postal system of our Yidi territory is not completely without foundation. For example, the relationship between the Holy Land and the Eastern Continent is mainly solved by naval warships, and this speed cannot be improved in the short term; With the railway, this problem is not too big.
Therefore, the subordinates feel that our postal system should be able to advance quickly in the interaction of large areas, but between islands, branch territories, and independent territories, our postal system may need to spend a lot of energy to deal with it. . "
Li Xiang also said: "Master, I think Master Sunan's opinion is very accurate, but no matter how difficult it is, we must solve it.
My lord, you didn’t ask the Minister of Communications to attend the meeting, but you asked your subordinate, the Minister of Iron and Fire, to attend the meeting. Your subordinates guessed that it might be a problem with the construction of branch railways and stone roads.
The subordinates feel that the postal system in Yidi's territory needs to be constructed in three steps. The fastest is naturally the postal system from the Holy Land to each continent and the independent territories of the Eastern Continent. The subordinates believe that they can directly use the existing naval routes, For the railway route, set up a special force to operate, instead of summoning the navy's warships at any time now, or entrusting Maffei Trani's Nandi Chamber of Commerce or Zheng Sanbao's North Island Chamber of Commerce.
The second step is the connection between the independent territories, the branch territories, and the towns on the islands of the Holy Land. This can be solved by using short-distance trains and straight railways.
The third step is the postal post system from each town to each resident gathering point or village. This requires the construction of a large number of stone roads, which are solved with the help of carriages and stage horses. "
Xinping said: "My lord, it seems that the Minister of Communications must be invited here."
Qu Mao nodded.
Li Xiang continued: "My lord, the Ministry of Iron and Fire is currently mainly responsible for the construction of railways. It has not considered the construction of branch railways between towns in various branch territories. Generally, the heroes stationed in each branch territory plan and submit reports to the Ministry of Iron and Fire. After the approval of the Ministry of Railways and Fire, it will arrange technical personnel to guide, and each branch territory will organize resources and residents to carry out the construction. The Ministry of Railways and Fire will only provide technical guidance personnel for railway construction.
From this point of view, my lord, you still need to invite the Minister of Administration, Mr. Su Qiaoer, to come over. "
Qu Mao nodded again, and said: "It's okay, you plan as soon as possible, what resource coordination is needed, we will immediately find the heroes of the corresponding department, arrange a collaborative plan on the spot, and strive to complete this matter as soon as possible.
Kong Ming, ask the maid in the lord's hut to call over such heroes as Wen He, Minister of Communications, Su Qiaoer, Minister of Administration, and Wang Mao, Minister of Infrastructure.
Xuande, inform the Imperial Guard soldiers on duty in the lord's hut to arrange a few people at the door of the meeting room, and they may call others over anytime and anywhere.
We don’t have to worry about the time being too long. As Li Xiang said, we build step by step, bit by bit, and we can always improve our postal system.
Although "Another World's Experience" has not yet been written to describe it, I can tell you clearly: In another world, a document can be transmitted 3,000 kilometers in one day and one night, and it is completely impossible to reach another person who needs to receive it. Delay anything, just another world called express delivery, not postal system. "
The five people attending the meeting were fascinated for a while, and continued to discuss the development of the postal system in the territory of Emperor Yi.
Xinping’s opinion is very straightforward, that is to integrate the functions of the navy, intelligence department, iron and fire department, Nandi Chamber of Commerce and Beidao Chamber of Commerce in the current Yidi territory for material interaction, and form a post office.
The post office department considers the functions of the post office department in a unified way, and forms a team, plans the route, and then submits it to the infrastructure department for bidding construction. After all, in addition to the infrastructure institutions controlled by the lord's hut, there are also private infrastructure institutions in Yidi's territory. If such a thing is to be done, the amount of road construction in the short term must be huge, and it will certainly not be possible to rely solely on the infrastructure of the Yidi territory.
Xuande and Kong Ming are also constantly exchanging opinions. After all, the two of them are very clear about the early construction of the Yidi territory, but at the current stage, the Yidi territory will continue to develop and plan the post system, and the system station may have to be considered. Form a post system with gamification attributes, but it must not be built completely according to the blueprint of the system, otherwise it will be difficult to meet the current huge demand for post service in the territory of Emperor Yi.
Soon, representatives of the Nandi Chamber of Commerce and the North Island Chamber of Commerce were also invited to the venue, because at present, the exchange of materials between towns in independent territories is basically handed over to these two chambers of commerce.
Of course, the presidents of the two chambers of commerce are currently outside, not in the Holy Land of Emperor Yi, and did not personally participate in the meeting.
When Su Qiaoer walked into the conference room, there were already more than 30 participants in the conference room, so Su Qiaoer frowned and said: "My lord, there are so many people meeting, why use such a small conference room?
The subordinate suggested moving to the larger meeting room next door to continue the meeting. "
Only then did Qu Mao realize that the meeting room was already full of participating heroes, so he could only follow Su Qiaoer's suggestion and move to the next meeting room to continue the meeting.
When the meeting on November 10th, 20th year of Tianxuan was held until evening, the meeting room was already packed with nearly 50 core heroes from the Holy Land of Yidi Territory.
At this time, Qu Mao felt that his goal had been achieved, and all the heroes attending the meeting were refining Li Xiang's three-step plan, so Qu Mao decided to leave the meeting room and hand over the construction of the postal system in Emperor Yi's territory to Su Qiaoer. Take the lead, and other core heroes assist.
As for the establishment of the Post Office, Qu Mao also authorized Su Qiaoer to handle it.
Those who can be called to hold this meeting are basically the early heroes of Emperor Yi's territory, and Qu Mao has no other concerns.
The earliest step should be completed before the year-end summary meeting at the end of the 20th year of Tianxuan, but the third step may take more than ten years to realize the realization of stone roads in every village.
However, although the time is a bit long, it will always be realized slowly after having a plan.
When he walked out of the conference room, Qu Mao began to think about going to other branch territories.
