Chapter 658: Roadside parking meter

Science and technology awards are established in four seasons. This kind of establishment will effectively cover more fields of science and technology, and it can also greatly promote the development of science and technology. As for the bonus. Shang Wen believes that scientific and technological research is the most expensive. If it can't succeed. Then the expenditure of scientists will soon go bankrupt. Take this into consideration. Shangwen believes that science and technology awards should be fixed at around one thousand gold. You must know that one thousand gold is not a small number. But for scientific researchers. It is estimated that it is a number, and this number is far from their investment in the field of science and technology.

As for the specific award setting, Shangwen handed it over to the Science and Technology Patent Office. They will be responsible for setting more awards. This work has a long-term perspective. Therefore, it needs to be treated with caution.

As everyone knows, when Qin State established science and technology awards. South Korea established the Science and Technology Invention and Innovation Award under the suggestion of Han Fei. The prize amount is equivalent to Qin's five hundred gold. This is already a huge sum of money for Koreans. This money is mainly aimed at South Korea, even if it is a "foreign" person, as long as you have technological inventions and innovations. You can apply for awards. It seems that South Korea’s move was deliberately aimed at Qin. Because "foreign" people include Qin and other six countries. Then, using patent rights to compete with Qin, the upper echelons of South Korea have realized the importance of science and technology in the economic field.

For this reason, South Korea also has a major reform measure to build education on a large scale. Zhang Liang has submitted a plan report. This report will spend 10% of South Korea’s fiscal revenue on education. Han Shu also agreed, because Qin's education, especially the construction of universities and colleges, allowed her to see the driving force of Qin's development. She is willing to spend the royal income. This part of revenue comes from 30% of South Korea’s fiscal revenue. Thirty percent of the royal family's income will be invested in education in South Korea. Han Shu is the queen. There is no huge harem expenses like the other six countries. Of course, she also has a huge expenditure, which is to buy a lot of luxury goods. But compared with the expenditure of the royal harem, it is just a drop in the bucket. The queen saves more than the male king.

It was at the time when Qin and South Korea turned their attention to tapping the potential of education. Qin's domestic newspapers stabbed out a huge news. That is, the government represented by Shangwen submitted a taxation statement to the nongovernmental organization. This explanation is mainly aimed at whether parking pricing violates the principle of secondary taxation.

The cause of the incident came from the rapid development of Qin Guo's automobile industry. Almost within a few short months, the number of cars in Qin Guo has soared from more than 200 vehicles to nearly 20,000 vehicles. Although the government departments of Qin State quickly followed in management. But it couldn't hold so many cars at once.

With the advent of cars. Another phenomenon appeared immediately. That is parking. Some streets in the new city are still unable to adapt. It is mainly commercial areas, such as the cars and shops in Limu Street, completely blocking the entire road and making it impossible to walk. And the old city, the original Xianyang city, is even more of a car parking disaster.

The bank's cheap low-interest loans make many people buy cars. Women also buy cars, office workers also buy cars, workers also buy cars, even the staff of various government agencies in Qin State buy cars. It's like a clear timetable. From 8 to 9 in the morning, people drove on the main road to find a place to park. This is the well-known phenomenon of "grabbing parking spaces". Sometimes, many people can't find a good place in their car. Although the transportation department has repeatedly emphasized the requirement to increase parking spaces, the parking space of close to 20,000 vehicles and the original design of Xianyang City did not expect so many motor vehicles to appear later. Parking space is simply not enough. It was already saturated when cars became popular for a month. The road that was originally relatively spacious has become narrow because of parking.

Due to the relationship between office workers, Qin's cars on both sides of the working hours from morning to afternoon will not leave at all, which further causes the deterioration of the traffic situation in Xianyang City of Qin State. For this reason, the newspaper accused the government of doing things badly. The Ministry of Transportation has advised more small and medium-sized companies not to set up offices in Xianyang City and move to the new city. Although this temporarily suppressed the development of cars flowing into Xianyang City, it could not solve the problem at all.

But an invention is actually spurring the development of Qin State’s new urban area. This is the roadside parking meter. This is also the reason for the second taxation. Speaking of the meter, then we have to talk about another currency of Qin State. The use of chromium-nickel-silver mixed coins. This currency has good corrosion resistance. And the main reason for issuing this currency is that Qin Guo Telecom Company is expanding a new business, coin-operated public telephones. This kind of telephone needs to rely on coins to complete the charging service, so the telecommunications company and the bank jointly requested the issuance of coins. In fact, the government has already considered using coins. The reason is that such coins are indeed needed in some places. But this coin can only be made by the country. And adopts the most advanced alloy stainless steel technology of Qin State. Chromium and nickel, which are rare in six countries, are used. The stainless steel, in order to increase its value, also added five cents of silver. Doing so makes the coin itself valuable. The issuance of this coin soon gained the love of users who like to save coins.

With the promotion of this coin. The parking meter is applied. This invention specifically addresses Qin's growing parking problem.

You can park for one hour with a coin of ten, or fifteen minutes if you stop and change the factory. Of course there are discounts on time. Considering that this move can greatly improve the parking problem. At the same time, it can increase fiscal revenue, Xianyang Order. Equivalent to the mayor of Xianyang. The first large-scale installation of this parking meter.

And the police have another business. That is to look up the meter. They are holding a stack of illegal traffic parking tickets in their jurisdiction at any time to check for cars. As long as the parking fee is not paid, there will be a fine of one gold, which is two hundred and a half. The fines can be described as ruthless. In addition, in order to prevent the public from escaping the fine because of ignorance. Announcements were also written on each parking meter and publicized in newspapers. After seven days of publicity. This kind of meter is on duty.

On the first day of work, the people of Qin State showed great hatred for the inventor. Three people were fined. Because they don't know. But still was fined. The rest put in coins obediently. On that day, Xianyang's fiscal revenue had an income of nearly one hundred gold. This income is very impressive.
