Chapter 2028: Chapter 226: Building Roads is Also a Good Deed

Peter Brown hadn’t given much thought to transportation issues before, but the meeting today served as a wakeup call, indicating that if the transportation problems could be improved, the travel and exchange of personnel between different places would be strengthened, which for the Divine Race who could only hurry on foot would be a project that wins the hearts of the people.

Peter himself came from a remote area, and he was all too aware that due to the inconvenience of transportation, many people were unaware of the outside world. What would happen if a teleportation formation was set up in every village?

With this thought, Peter said, "My dear officials, I have an idea, which is to promote the construction of teleportation formations nationwide. What do you think of this proposal?"

"Your Majesty, this indeed is a project that wins the hearts of the people. However, we simply do not have enough Alchemists, and we do not know how to refine the teleportation formations."

"This is not a problem. We will establish a special Transportation Department, pull together a team of people loyal to the Hua Nation and set up a department responsible for refining the teleportation formations. I myself will personally teach the technology of refining the teleportation formations. I believe they will soon be ready to take on their roles."

Everyone was genuinely unclear about what this Transportation Department actually entailed, and they all started asking questions.

After Peter introduced the situation of the Transportation Department on Earth, he said, "The Transportation Department will be responsible for the construction of teleportation formations in every village. The nation can finance the teleportation formations or it can be funded locally, with a fee charged for each teleportation. This fee will be divided between the nation and the investors according to a certain ratio. You all go calculate this ratio. I believe the investors will be able to recoup their costs and make profits quickly."

Everyone’s eyes lit up. If this were really the case, it would indeed be a great initiative that benefits both the nation and its people.

"Your Majesty, there is another issue. That is the matter of materials. Although we are able to collect quite a few materials, if we want to construct teleportation formations extensively, we will be seriously lacking materials," one of the ministers stepped forward to voice his concerns.

"Don’t worry about this matter. I will procure materials on my travels and send them back. You just need to help me collect as many as possible. We can exchange other materials for those necessary to refine the teleportation formations."

Seeing that Peter had thought of everything, everyone fell silent.

"Very well, you can study the matter and then announce the construction nationwide. We need to ignite a nationwide fervor for infrastructure development."

Soon, the news about the establishment of teleportation formations for every village in the Hua Kingdom was disseminated by imperial decree.

This event had a tremendous impact on the entire Divine Nation. The people had long been harboring numerous complaints about the transportation issues. Now, with this decision, first and foremost, the people were surprised that the imperial court possessed the capability to refine teleportation formations, followed by great appreciation for the court’s actions. It was a project that truly won the hearts of the people.

Some wealthy individuals saw the possibility of making a fortune from the construction of teleportation formations. If they provided the funds, they could benefit from the fees for using the formations. Considering the potential volume of teleportation each day, everyone understood that this would undoubtedly be lucrative.

Teleportation formations did not use Divine Stones. According to His Majesty, this was short-distance teleportation that did not consume energy. It only required borrowing the energy of Earth veins.

After learning about this, everyone became even more excited. With only a small expense and obtaining distribution rights to a teleportation formation, they could sit back and profit.

Participation was essential!

More and more wealthy individuals began to contract sections of profitable teleportation formations.

Besides indulging in pleasure with his consorts, Peter had been closely monitoring this development over the past few days.

"Your Majesty, according to what I’ve learned, there are many wealthy people willing to invest in places with frequent personnel traffic. However, in the mountain villages, there are not many investors," Berlin Walter reported in a low voice.

After listening, Peter said, "This is a project that wins the hearts of the people. We cannot neglect any place. Here’s what we’ll do: for remote places, the imperial court will provide the funding. Of course, the court will also collect the earnings. Don’t underestimate those places. Once there are teleportation formations, their development will inevitably speed up, and the earnings will follow. Moreover, if the villagers can bring out their goods, this will also contribute to economic prosperity."

Peter truly wasn’t lacking in money now. He knew his own strength—just by selling a few Divine Artifacts, he believed that a large sum of money would come his way.

"Your Majesty, what about the refining of the formations?" Berlin asked.

"Isn’t there an abundance of eunuchs with nothing to do in my Imperial Palace? Organize them into a refining department, and let them handle the core parts. The Transportation Department will refine the more common parts. Not just that, but there are various requirements in the refining of each part, including inspection, which is your responsibility. I’ll teach the Transportation Department the methods of refining each part in an assembly line fashion."

Not knowing what an assembly line was, Peter explained it to Berlin.

After listening to Peter’s explanation, Berlin praised, "Only Your Majesty would come up with such an idea. That way, even if they learn the art of refining artifacts, they could only refine part of it, and the overall technology to refine a teleportation formation could probably only be cracked by bringing all the individuals together. It is not something that can be stolen by anyone."

Peter looked approvingly at Berlin, who quickly grasped the method.

Indeed, he only now realized that in the Divine Realm, not everyone was capable of creating teleportation formations. While unaware of the situation in the Starlight Domain, he knew that in the Purple River Star Region where they were, no one practiced such refining. Thus, secrecy was necessary.

"This matter is too important to entrust to others; you take charge!"

Berlin excitedly replied, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will ensure this task is well executed."

As the imperial court worked efficiently, following Peter’s Imperial Edict, the entire nation was immediately swept up in the rush to build teleportation formations and to gather funds.

At this point, Peter began testing all the drafted personnel, mainly to see whether they had an aptitude for refining artifacts.

He thought it over—if these people proved capable, the next step would be to train a group of Alchemists. After all, with a significant development within the nation, Alchemists would still be needed.

He divided the personnel into numerous groups. To each group, Peter taught just one refining method, allowing them to refine only one part. The core parts would be handled by the eunuchs, while assembly would be the responsibility of a specially selected eunuch department.

Sets of teleportation formations were quickly refined and sent out to various places for assembly.

At this time, Peter also saw a major gain—the energy of faith was pouring in from across the nation in large quantities.
