Chapter 11 Station Vision

"Can you make a difference? How can these six small cities be enough? Lin Zhuyu said disdainfully, after all, his target was the Four Kingdoms.

Since she has traveled to ancient times, she must have a pursuit and ideal, so it depends on how she can do her business all over the country and go to the four countries! After all, your modern mind doesn't have to be in vain.

"Let me explain it to you, you elm head, you only know how to sell cars!" Lin Zhuyu gave Mo Xiu a roll of his eyes.

"Now we have to change our thinking, and we can't stop at selling carriages, which will not make a big deal." Mo Xiu looked at the little girl in front of him, sat on the stool and said calmly, it seemed to have a little taste.

"Then if we don't sell carriages, can we still sell the people in them?" However, Mo Xiu couldn't figure it out, what could the carriage shop sell if it didn't sell the carriage?

"Let's just say you're elm head, but this time you're right, we're really selling carriages, but this is not the other!" Lin Zhuyu couldn't help but open the conversation:

"That's right, if we can add the capital to these six cities, a total of seven, and each city has a carriage branch, then we can carry out city-to-city transportation." Lin Zhuyu pointed to the six cities where he had just drawn his head and cut his head.

However, Mo Xiu still heard it in a daze, but forced Lin Zhuyu to be impatient, and hurriedly pointed out the two cities of Beijing and Fengtian with his hands to give examples.

"Forget it, I'll give you an example! For example, between the two cities of Beijing and Fengtian, now answer me, how do you want to go from the capital to Mukden? Lin Zhuyu asked rhetorically.

Such a straightforward question, Mo Xiu can still answer: "If it is a high-ranking official and a big family, if there is a carriage at home, it is natural to take a carriage over, and if ordinary people can't afford a carriage, they can only go." ”

"Alright, now you answer me three questions!" Seeing that Mo Xiu had finally gone to the Dao, Lin Zhuyu was very pleased.

"Well, you say."

"First of all, the first question, how many carriages can a carriage shop sell in a month? What is the monthly income? ”

"In the past two years, due to the great increase in the number of people traveling, although there are always more people to inquire than to buy, the business of the carriage shop is not bad, and it can sell about six or seven carriages a month." Mo Xiu was still a little optimistic, picked up the water on the table, took a sip and continued: "In addition to the cost of raising horses and the raw materials and manpower for the various parts of the carriage, the net income of each carriage sold is estimated to be about 20 taels, which is 150 taels of silver in a month, and 17,800 taels in a year. ”

Seeing that Lin Zhuyu was indifferent to this number, he continued: "As far as I know, Miss's father Lin Xiangye is only two thousand taels of silver a year, and my small carriage shop is worth the face income of a high-ranking official for a year." ”

Lin Zhuyu was noncommittal and only asked: "Then can you estimate how many people flow from the capital to Fengtian every month?" ”

"Since the current emperor began to attach importance to commerce, the connection between various places has become increasingly close. According to my conservative estimates, there are at least 100 people traveling between the two places every month! Mo Xiu replied subconsciously, while thinking in his heart whether a flow of people meant by people.

Lin Zhuyu thought for a while, and then asked, "Then please answer my third question now, how many days does it take to walk from the capital to Fengtian?" How many days does it take to drive? If you were to be sent from the capital to Mukden now for only 500 Wen, would you be willing? ”

"If you walk, it will take at least ten days and a half months, and it is estimated that it will take less than two days to drive, and if it is only 500 Wen, you are naturally willing." Mo Xiu answered Lin Zhuyu's questions one by one, his expression became cheerful, and his heart seemed to suddenly realize.

"One person is 500 Wen, and 100 people are 50 taels, so since there are people from the capital to Fengtian, there are naturally people from Fengtian to the capital, and the round trip is 100 taels a month, if these six cities have built branches, according to this situation, it is 600 taels a month." Lin Zhuyu calculated an account and continued:

"This is only the number of people in neighboring cities, not counting the cities that are next to each other. Another example is from Mukden to Yangji..."While speaking, he pointed to the location of Mukden and Yangji on the map with his hand, "From Mukden to Yangji, we can first go from Mukden to the capital, and then from the capital to Yangji, so that the transportation is separated."

"In this way, separate transportation can merge the flow of people and reduce transportation costs" Before Lin Zhiyu finished speaking, Mo Xiu rushed to say what he thought in his heart as if he had discovered a new continent.

"Yes, and because the distance is farther, then the cost will naturally be relatively higher. In this way, after a month, I am afraid it will almost be worth the income of your previous carriage shop for a year! Lin Zhuyu mercilessly criticized the previous performance of the carriage shop.

And then he said, "It's just city-to-city traffic, and the city needs its own traffic as well!" For example, our capital, the south of the city, the north of the city, the west of the city, the east of the city, 4 directions, if you usually enter and exit, it is not easy, naturally you need to set up a station in the city. Lin then dropped another heavy bomb.

"The transportation in the city naturally does not need 500 wen, but the flow of people in the city is naturally more than that between cities, so the daily income is not to be underestimated." Lin Zhuyu added.

Mo Xiu faced Lin Zhiyu's final calculated number and didn't speak for a long time. It seems surprising that in such a figure, January can be used to offset the income of the previous year? This time, Mo Xiu could hear it clearly.

"Little... Miss, how did you come up with this business opportunity? This... This is a business wizard! When Mo Xiu reacted in hindsight, he was shocked to find that the twelve-year-old girl in front of him was not simple, and she was able to put forward such an advanced idea, she had really lived in vain for the past twenty years!

"This time you know what I'm really capable of, miss, right? What do you think? Convincing oral? Lin Zhuyu is also not modest.

"It's just Miss, there is another problem, the two places come and go, presumably there are a lot of people in one day, with our current carriage, there are only four or five people at most..." Mo Xiu voiced his concerns.

"The construction of the station is a very systematic and important project, which not only involves business individuals, but also implies policy issues. Lin Zhuyu also knew that this was not the best time to build a station, "I will tell you these words now, just to believe that one day, we will build a station." ”

Before the station was built, he remembered the overload, and after a while, Lin Zhuyu muttered in his heart, but he didn't let Mo Xiu hear, "So the most important thing for us at the moment is to transform the carriage, so that the carriage will be bigger, the yard force will be stronger, the road will be comfortable, and more people can be seated." ”

"You have a way to do it, this young lady?" Mo Xiu felt quite incredulous.

"Naturally, there is a way, but now the materials are insufficient, and it is not enough to produce it. However, it is still possible to make our trip more comfortable tomorrow with a simple transformation. When Lin Zhuyu said this, he naturally remembered a novel he had read before, saying that wrapping the wheels of the carriage with cowhide would reduce the vibration of the carriage.

"I wonder if this store sells cowhide?" Drenched in the rain and muttered to himself, but Mo Xiu listened to him, "What's the use of young lady asking for cowhide?" It was as hard as a stone, and it was not easy to eat or use, and it was not even easy to polish a scabbard.

"Can you get it now? Of course, it was used to absorb the shock of the carriage. Lin Zhiyu replied, but did not explain in detail how to absorb shocks.

I want to come to the store, there should be, but it's late today, tomorrow, I'll let Mo Huai go over and ask. Mo Xiu said.

"By the way, what time is it?" When it came to business, Lin Zhuyu was very interested, and talked endlessly for a long time, but he unconsciously forgot the moment. While thinking in his heart, when he returned to the house, he was probably reprimanded by Nangu.
