Chapter 66: Small Movements, Big Movements

No matter how Master Zhang was cleaned up by Lord Cao, Ruan Bai felt that he would not see Master Zhang again in the post house until the capital team returned.

It takes time to select the auxiliary army, and there are no retired soldiers at present, so Ruan Bai took advantage of the last free time to do the final details. He already had a rough plan, and he was waiting for Lord Cao to fall into the trap...... No, it's support.

Chu Hao received a letter from Xijing that day, to be exact, his father's reply. There was an envelope inside the envelope, and the one inside specially explained that it was for Ruan Bai to see.

Unlike the usual correspondence between father and son, the letter from King Pingxi to Ruan Bai was like talking about buckles, which was called a Rory plus self-cooked.

There was a thunderstorm in the afternoon, Chu Hao came back for lunch, and naturally did not go back to the barracks, moved a recliner and put it under the eaves, lay down on it as a cushion, and then invited Ruan Bai to lie on the "cushion".

Uncle Ruan listened to Chu Hao read the letter to him, and laughed while listening: "Your father is really interesting." ”

Chu Hao couldn't see it, he raised his hand and scratched Ruan Bai's waist and eyes, and watched the person instantly bow into a shrimp, before he snorted twice: "Isn't it happy to have an extra father-in-law?" The old man of his family is simply unreliable, "What do you mean that my brother is his son?" ”

He always felt that something was not good if things continued like this. It's not that he can't see Ruan Bai's popularity, it's just that Ruan Bai was originally such a brother as him, and not long ago he suddenly had a righteous brother; Now that no one has seen it, suddenly there is a stepfather...... It is foreseeable that his mother will definitely be a stepmother. When the time comes, his brother can only stand aside.

"That's, who is not happy with multiple backers? Anyway, your grandfather is better than you. Ruan Bai has always spoken upright, and he doesn't mind Chu Hao being poked by him in the heart.

Can Chu Hao argue that he is better than his father? Don't say that the son does not say the fault of the father, it is a fact...... His sluggish father is also much better than him.

Ruan Bai had previously written a letter from Chu Hao to the King of Pingxi, which included various private express delivery businesses. General Cao stationed at a Shunyang Pass, there are many retired soldiers whose livelihood needs to be solved, and King Pingxi, as the king of the Great Zhou Emperor, needs to arrange more manpower.

"Daddy means put the ...... first The post office came out, and the matter of the money bank was temporarily postponed. ”

"Hmm." Ruan Bai said before that he wanted the king of Pingxi to help, which was nothing more than to get the postal system out. Although he helped people write letters several times before, the way the letters were delivered was still the traditional way of bringing back to the villagers. He wants to get an EMS in Da Zhou, but don't look at the small amount of money he has in hand now, if he really wants to get it himself, this money is not enough to make a splash.

Besides, it's not a matter of throwing two bucks at it. In those years, the movement of people was strictly controlled. In addition to the large-scale disasters such as the military disaster in Shunyang before, which led to the displacement of a large number of ordinary people, there is no road guide issued by the government, and ordinary people cannot go far at all. Now it is said that the world is peaceful, but there are still many things that occupy the mountain as the king. When you go far away, safety cannot be guaranteed.

What Ruan Bai wants to take advantage of here is the matter of retired soldiers. To be honest, a soldier who can survive to retire is not small in itself, even if he is a little injured, the post office needs counters and logistics personnel. He can't toss a state organ or unit, so can't he still make a public institution?

According to Nguyen Bai's vision, the setting of the post office was modeled after the post station. Of course, post stations are generally set up outside the city, but post offices can be set up in towns, and one or several points can be set up according to the size of the town, and online shopping can be delivered to your home...... Well, the last point is that he thinks too much.

But it's completely feasible to connect the villages.

"Why can't you open a money bank business for the time being? Like now, people have to send money back, and that's a lot of trouble. "Especially now that the common currency of the people is metal, can the cost of shipping a small note back and shipping a bag of money back?

Ruan Bai's idea of a post office was written under Chu Hao's whole city watch, and Chu Hao certainly understood the greatness of Ruan Bai's plan. And according to his understanding of Ruan Bai, if the post office can really be built, not to mention the benefits of writing it now, there must be some unspeakable content in it. But now I have to let Ruan Bai know why.

Chu Hao could only break the truth and say: "If the post office can open the money business, according to your plan, it is indeed very good." However, you yourself mentioned the issue of anti-counterfeiting. People deposit money at the post office, which issues a deposit slip that allows people to go to the post office to withdraw their debts. How can this deposit slip be guaranteed to be genuine? As far as I know, not to mention those who specialize in counterfeiting, there are now some disciples of calligraphy and painting masters, and there are also many calligraphy and paintings copied out, and even the master himself may not be able to distinguish them. ”

Ruan Bai pouted: "There is a mountain and a mountain high, and the road is one foot high!" ”

Chu Hao pinched his face funny: "In addition, what you didn't write out, if you establish so many post offices, the speed of information transmission in various places will be accelerated." And the post office is just ...... Well, semi-official nature. One more channel to transmit information will inevitably make the information that only the imperial court knows will be known to others. This is what the imperial court does not want to see.

In addition, the size of the population of one side is related to the performance evaluation of local officials. If the post office has more money bank functions, it will be the businessman who will benefit first. Not only will the existing businessmen benefit, but the number of private businessmen will also increase. Now the imperial court suppresses business. ”

"Tsk, trouble." Ruan Bai stretched out his hand and took a plate of fruit on the side and held it in his arms, fed Chu Hao one, but he didn't eat it, and asked, "Why does the imperial court suppress business?" ”

"Merchants do not produce, but make a profit by reselling goods in two places. If it is not suppressed, everyone will become a businessman, and in the long run, the farmland will be left uncultivated...... The overthrow of the country is only in a moment. ”

"Huh?" Ruan Bai was stunned by Chu Hao's remarks, "How can you be so strict when you are a businessman?" "Are you kidding? Besides, people like Chu Hao and them, who doesn't have a few big and small businessmen under their hands? However, they regard the merchant as a moth, and they have to rely on the moth to feed. It's simply ......

"Shameless."

Chu Hao pressed Ruan Ergou, who was outrageous, into his arms, and "taught" him fiercely, all the way from the recliner to the bed.

His rough palm lingered on the boy's slippery back. When he was wearing clothes, it was not obvious, and the young man's figure still looked thin and weak, but his body was exposed by stripping off his clothes, and now he could be called well-proportioned flesh and bones. Ruan Bai's skeleton is obviously small, and even if he hides a little bit of meat, he is thinner than the average person. What's more, except for being a little lazy in the New Year, Ruan Bai has never neglected to exercise himself. Now that he is thin, he has strength in his body. Obviously, the waist is so thin, and the force of the punch is not small at all.

"Shhh Chu Hao gasped when he was twisted, and stretched out his sore arm, which was obviously red, "It will be green by tomorrow!" ”

Ruan Bai didn't even bother to look at it. This guy loves to take him to bed more and more, and his movements are more and more than one time he acts, but this guy's mouth is very hard, and he is extremely insistent on the issue of reputation. It is said that the mother-in-law is more difficult.

"Lord Chu, Lord Cao called you over!" Xu Liu's voice came from outside.

Chu Hao tightened Ruan Bai in his arms, his face was full of regret, and he raised his voice to the outside world: "I know! Hurry up and finish putting on the clothes, and before leaving to look at Ruan Bai, who didn't react at all on the bed, he suddenly felt angry, "Second brother doesn't have anything to say to my brother?" ”

Ruan Bai was puzzled: "What do you say?" ”

"Say you don't want me to go, I want my brother to accompany you."

Ruan Bai stared at Chu Hao's serious face, and suddenly sat up from the bed, and the thin quilt of summer slipped off his body, revealing his upper body with traces of youth. He also turned sideways, reached out to hook Chu Hao's neck, raised his head slightly, and leaned into his ear: "Xiaobai doesn't want you to go." Brother Hao, stay with me~"

Chu Hao really gasped this time! Usually Ruan Bai called him Brother Hao, and he was already a little difficult to self-control. What does it look like now...... From his point of view, Ruan Bai's place was also looming......

Chu Hao walked with his nose covered.

Nguyen Bai wins! The stinky boy dares to fight him, do you really think you are young? Do you really think my brother is so easy to be?

It's not too late now, Ruan Bai got up and moved for a while, thinking of the businessman Chu Hao said just now...... Are today's merchants just buying and selling?

However, in his actual life in the past few months, he found that there was no shortage of food and wine, and some utensils and the like were also bought and sold, and these were all processed products...... So, in fact, manufacturing is not considered part of business now? When Chu Hao comes back, he has to ask.

The rain outside has not stopped, Ruan Bai plans to go to the original deserted post to see, it will be converted into a market soon, although some public facilities have been built, but it has rained a lot in the past few days, I don't know if it will leak or something.

stepped on the clogs barefoot, and before he stepped out, he heard Xu Liu's voice come again: "My lord, Steward Cao brought many people, and now they are waiting in the market." ”

The bazaar is, of course, the original deserted post. The corner of Ruan Bai's mouth mentioned: "I'll go over immediately." "His letter to Xijing has been sent back and forth, counting the days, the auxiliary army on Lord Cao's side should indeed be delivered.

There aren't many places on this side of the post house that belong to the post house. Although it is his territory, it can't really be used to entertain guests. So Nguyen Bai set aside a place in the bazaar. The house that was originally planned to be bulldozed will now be used.

When Ruan Bai arrived, Ye Dong and the others were already helping to entertain Steward Cao and his party.

Steward Cao saw Ruan Bai coming over, and quickly stood up: "Second Master Ruan, the villain brought all the people." This was the first batch, a total of eighty auxiliary troops, and another ten were retired. ”

Ruan Bai smiled and said, "On this rainy day, hurry up and change your wet clothes, why are you standing?" Ye Dong, hurry up and help the brothers arrange a room. It's a little smaller, so I'll stay for a few days. ”
