Before long, Gray Fort Empire government bonds increased by another 50 million gold coins, with the goal of building a road network covering major cities nationwide. And the collateral? Toll fees.
The Gray Fort Empire had already drafted plans to establish toll stations at every city entrance. Everyone coming through the roads would need to pay toll fees based on their vehicle size—or you could call it a road maintenance fee.
After deliberation, the dragons believed the plan was viable. With the development of Dragon Delivery's regular package delivery service, the dragons had gained some understanding of land-based logistics. These toll stations would actually benefit both transportation and the Gray Fort Empire.
Previously, each lord could collect certain fees according to their own requirements. Although due to certain tacit understandings between nobles, their standards varied—you could say they were generally low—they still collected fees, and there were no unified standards.
