It is said that the Song Dynasty was the most prosperous commercial dynasty among all dynasties.

In fact, the Tang Dynasty was not bad at all.

Some merchants, who are themselves the sons of noble families, have become prominent characters in Chang'an City.

Some businessmen, relying on exquisite means, have their own way of survival among the noble officials.

If you want to say who has the most sensitive nose, you have to count the merchants of the east and west cities.

Although the carriage shop in the south of the city is not in the east and west cities, as the largest carriage sales shop in Chang'an City, its recent boom has naturally attracted the attention of many people.

Peng Zhiyun, an Anzhou businessman who opened a tooth shop in Xishi, is one of them.

Although many merchants also see that the price of horse-drawn carriages is rising, the sales volume is not falling but rising, but there is no actual action.

But Peng Zhijun is different.

"Lao Ren, how many carriages did you buy today?"

"Shopkeeper, I bought eleven today."

"So much?"

Peng Zhiyun was overjoyed.

"Yes, the Wei family's carriage workshop has recently recruited a large number of carpenters and procured a large amount of wood, so the carriages that can be provided have naturally increased."

"Good. Well done! Lao Ren, you remember, the carriages we sell in various tooth shops have to increase in price every day. It doesn't take a lot, just 200 or 300 wen a day. ”

Peng Zhiyun does not produce horse-drawn carriages himself, but that does not mean that he cannot sell horse-drawn carriages.

And Wei Bao, who is in the carriage workshop in the south of the city, has long discovered the existence of Peng Zhiyun.

Whoever is a shop manager, if someone comes to buy their own things almost every day, they will also pay attention to it.

For big customers, it's normal to enjoy some preferential treatment.

After a little investigation, I found that the old man who came to the carriage shop every day to buy a car was an old buddy of Peng Zhiyun's tooth shop.

I also learned that Peng Zhiyun was reselling his carriage at a high price through various dental stores in Chang'an City.

Wei Bao was happy to see it.

This is like a speculator in later generations.

Some people come to a real estate in groups to sweep the goods, can the developer not know that they are speculating in real estate?

But what does it matter?

I earned the money I wanted, and I left the rest for others to earn.

Anyway, when the tide rises, I will earn more in the future.

Peng Zhiyun is like a speculator and a developer for Wei Bao.

Otherwise, how could the price of carriages in Chang'an City have been rising in recent months?

You must know that the construction of cement roads has facilitated the transportation of various goods along the way, but the price of horse-drawn carriages should not rise so fast.

"Shopkeeper, don't worry. In the past few days, not only have we bought most of the carriages of the carriage shop in the south of the city, but also many of the carriages of other carriage workshops are in our hands, but the money spent every day is a bit much. ”

Lao Ren has never felt so high-spirited as today, and with a wave of his hand, it is the business of several dozens of carriages.

"Well, I have been running a tooth shop in Xishi for so many years, and I basically know all the tooth shops in various shops, and these people saw that selling horse-drawn carriages was profitable, and they all spontaneously joined it. You don't have to worry, there are so many tooth shops in Chang'an City, and each tooth shop follows the trend and hoards a few carriages, which can provide a lot of money. ”

Peng Zhijun never eats alone, which is also an important reason why he can make the dental store in Xishi the first dental store in Chang'ancheng.

In particular, the nature of the dental industry determines that it needs to deal with all kinds of people, and at this time, word of mouth is very important.

Peng Zhiyun, who doesn't eat alone, can find partners in various squares in Chang'an City.

"Then I'll rest assured, and I'll go to the various carriage shops tomorrow and try to buy all the carriages."

……

Chang'an City is home to nearly one million people and is growing.

Every day, the city consumes a lot of food and other supplies.

This provides a naturally huge market for the surrounding states and counties.

Carriages of all kinds of goods were transported to this ancient city from morning to night.

In particular, the Chu Wangfu began to build a workshop city, and the demand for various materials reached a level that made the merchants in Chang'an City excited.

Green bricks, cement, sand, wood, ......

In addition to steel and some cement, Li Kuan arranged for Wang Fugui to buy most of the materials from the market.

Such a large purchase volume has almost swept away the inventory of various workshops in Chang'an.

After the merchants in the nearby states and counties heard the news, they immediately sent their goods over to sell.

Of course, due to the problems of transportation and cost, it is mainly some businessmen along the cement road from Chang'an to Liangzhou who have really benefited.

The opening of the cement road has stimulated the skyrocketing sales of horse-drawn carriages.

The beginning of the large-scale land leveling and construction of the workshop town stimulated the demand for horse-drawn carriages.

Twenty miles away from Chang'an City, but if you want to buy anything, it is inconvenient without a carriage.

Since Wang Fugui asked everyone to send the materials to the designated place in the workshop city, the merchants who wanted to do business in the workshop city had to quickly purchase a few more carriages.

Even if the price of carriages in Chang'an City has doubled compared to last year, they are willing to spend money to buy them.

I can't afford to make a little money, I can't make a lot of money.

……

Chu Wangfu carriage workshop.

After several months of rectification, as the first workshop in the workshop city to achieve production, today finally ushered in the first carriage off the assembly line.

said that it was offline, and naturally it was necessary to mention the assembly line specially set up by Li Kuan.

In the past, whether it was to make a carriage or other utensils.

Often, it is a craftsman who is in charge of a carriage and makes it good from start to finish.

At most, special things like axles and wheels are made by specialized craftsmen.

However, in the carriage workshop of the Chu Palace, Li Kuan changed the norm, requiring each craftsman to make only one part, which was moved to a designated station by a special person, and installed in a specific location by the craftsman in charge of assembly.

To put it bluntly, this is a relatively primitive assembly line.

"Lord Wang, it takes a quarter of an hour to make a carriage, or this kind of complicated four-wheeled carriage, it is really too unexpected."

Seeing one carriage after another being pulled out of the workshop, Dai Quan let out a sound of surprise.

Prior to this, when Li Kuan asked the carriage workshop to produce at least fifty carriages a day, Dai Quan still felt that it was impossible.

It is not possible to achieve this level unless thousands of craftsmen are hired to work around the clock.

Who knows, His Royal Highness the King of Chu only made a few suggestions, and the more than 100 craftsmen in the carriage workshop were able to produce 50 four-wheeled carriages per day.

It's amazing.

The prince asked for so many styles of carriages before, and he was worried that it would be difficult to manage, but now it seems that this is not a matter at all.

……

Five-in-one. After several rounds of twists and turns, Wuheju finally slowly sat firmly in the position of the second restaurant in Chang'an City.

Relying on the inertia of some old customers, business is not bad.

Wei Siren and Deng Feng were in the private room today to taste the latest dishes of Wuheju.

As the largest timber supplier of the Wei family's carriage workshop, Deng Feng was also invited many times to make an appointment with Wei Siren.

Recently, the sales of the carriage shop in the south of the city have been booming, and Wei Siren is in a good mood, otherwise he might not be willing to come out to have dinner with a businessman today.

Although, in a way, he is a businessman himself.

"Lang Jun, this carriage has now become a hot commodity in Chang'an City, and it is said that the price has risen by nearly one percent in the past few days, which is really gratifying."

If the carriage sells well, the sales of its own timber will also increase.

Deng Feng, who was injured by the construction of Daming Palace, finally relieved himself.

"Rejoice and rejoice!"

Wei Siren was very proud in his heart, and at the beginning of the year, he insisted on continuously expanding the scale of the carriage workshop.

Today, the company employs more than 1,000 craftsmen in its workshop, and its size has increased several times.

If it weren't for the fact that the price of horse-drawn carriages was still rising recently, those tooth shops who followed the trend and stockpiled goods made a lot of money, and Wei Siren detained half of the carriages and did not sell them to the outside world, and the daily sales would definitely be able to set a new record.

"I heard that the imperial court is considering building a cement road from Chang'an to Luoyang in the future, so the demand for horse-drawn carriages will become more."

Deng Feng seemed to see countless copper coins rushing towards him.

Whether Wei Siren took the made carriage to the market and sold it, or sold it after the price rose after hoarding, it would not affect Deng Feng's timber sales.

"Well, it is said that His Royal Highness the King of Chu has already mentioned to His Majesty that it is not only necessary to build a cement road from Chang'an to Luoyang, but also to build Luoyang to Jinyang and Luoyang to Dengzhou."

As a disciple of Wei's, Wei Siren is naturally much better informed than Deng Feng.

You must know that in the Daming Palace, Wei Guifei, whose status is second only to Empress Changsun, is his cousin.

Wei Guifei was able to sit firmly in the second-in-command position in the harem, naturally because she could get all kinds of support from the Wei family at any time.

The head of the palace is indispensable to maintain her position and give some rewards to all kinds of people from time to time.

Therefore, except for a few concubines who are very favored by the emperor, other concubines who have heads and faces in the palace have the support of their mother's family behind them.

Correspondingly, they will also give various rewards.

"Lang Jun, if that's the case, then I'm really not in a hurry to sell the carriage recently, you can wait for the news of the road construction to be announced, and then sell it, at that time, the price is estimated to be one or two percent."

Deng Feng is also an old man who has been in business for many years, and he also has his own set of judgment methods for the rise and fall of the price of some goods.

"I know that. For this reason, I also bought a new piece of land next to the carriage workshop to store the newly made carriage. ”

Wei Siren didn't feel that there was anything wrong with hoarding Juqi like this, in his opinion, as long as this carriage workshop was in the hands of other nobles, they would make the same choice as themselves.

……

Lao Hansan is a native of Chang'an County, and his ancestors and grandchildren have lived in Chang'an City for generations.

Although it is not a big rich and expensive, it is much better than the average person to live a small life.

The ancestor of the Lao family was the groom of the noble family, and by the time of Lao Hansan's generation, he had already come out to work alone.

When he was young, Lao Hansan drove his own carriage and took on some transportation work from merchants or neighbors every day to earn some freight.

The horse is a colt, and the car is an old car, but Lao Hansan can earn seven or eight hundred yuan a month, and when he is lucky, he can have consistent money.

That's higher than most ordinary people.

Just like the farmers in the countryside who bought their own small trucks in later generations, running around every day for transportation, their income in a year must be several times stronger than farming.

"Drive!"

Pulling a cart of gravel, Lao Hansan gently tapped the horse's belly with a horsewhip, and drove the carriage towards the direction of the workshop city.

In Chang'an City, there are still many coachmen like Lao Hansan.

After all, as the largest city on the entire planet, Chang'an City still has a very strong demand for cargo transportation.

The colt struggled to pull the gravel forward.

Although walking on the cement pavement, it is much easier to walk than the previous stone road, or even the yellow mud road.

However, Lao Hansan did not dare to load too much gravel, not only for fear that the horse would not move, but also for fear that his own carriage would not be able to bear it.

After so many years as a coachman, the maximum load that the three pairs of carriages can bear, as well as the weight that the horses can pull, have their own scales in mind.

In the workshop city, the land leveling is not all started at the same time, but one of the areas is leveled first.

To be more specific, the land around the carriage workshop of the Chu Wangfu was leveled first.

Therefore, most of the horse-drawn carriages walking on the cement road are heading to the same place.

"Lao Laosan, you don't rest for a day, I can see you every day."

"Hehe, aren't you about the same, you get up earlier than me every day, go back later than me, at least pull a carload more than me."

Lao Hansan is worthy of being an old coachman in Chang'an City, and many coachmen on the road are familiar with him.

"I finally came across a day when I had work every day, if I didn't work hard, how long would I wait?"

The cement road is wide enough, and there is no problem at all for the two carriages to go hand in hand, so Niu Zhu, the coachman next to him, simply drove the carriage side by side with Lao Hansan.

Driving all day long is also quite boring, and being able to have someone to talk to will not sit sleepy.

"It's also said, if you transport one more truckload of goods, you can earn dozens of dollars more, who wants to miss it?"

Lao Hansan also did not deny Niu Zhu's explanation.

In fact, he himself thinks so.

"Hey, it's a pity that it's this carriage, and the things it loads each time are very limited, otherwise, the cement road is so smooth, you can pull more goods, and the horses won't feel tired."

Niu Zhu looked back at the goods in his carriage and couldn't help but sigh.

"Are you content, just such a carriage, except for the horse material consumed every day, you can't earn a hundred cents? That's more than I used to earn in days. ”

Although Lao Hansan also wants to be a little more lucky, he is actually quite satisfied with the current situation.

Compared to his neighbors, his life is already very good.

The money earned by the Venerable Master for two days, or even three or four days.

"That's what I said, but who would be afraid of having a lot of money, don't you say?"

Niu Zhu and Lao Hansan chatted all the way, but soon came to the warehouse in the workshop city, where various materials were stored.

There is already an endless stream of horse-drawn carriages coming and going, and it is a busy scene.

Suddenly, several strange carriages came from the concrete road to the warehouse, which immediately attracted the attention of Lao Hansan and Niu Zhu.
