"Take the track springboard."

"Take the track springboard."

"Boom!"

At the Weishui Wharf in Jingzhao Prefecture, the people carrying the work on the shore shouted and lowered a gangplank with rails to the boat gang like a suspension bridge in a moat.

Immediately followed by the people on the boat, the people on the shore pushed, pushed the carts loaded with goods to the head, resisted, and the people on the boat carried them directly.

Each time, two tracks were built at the same time, but on a ∩-shaped board.

Sent from one direction from the shore to the front, unloaded and turned back to the empty car from the other direction.

This is true when loading, and it is also true when unloading.

No longer sent by people carrying a springboard, slow, and dangerous.

Empty ships, if the ship is small, the board will tilt towards the dock as soon as it is put up, and when the goods are put on the other side first, it will gradually balance.

This weight is not felt at all on large boats, especially flat-bottomed boats.

One by one, there is a team with the largest scale, and there are two words written on the flag that has been raised: Shu Yan

Yang Huanjin stood on the dock, watched the last of the boxes be carried onto the steamer with sails, looked back, and stepped onto the ship.

The box contained exchange coupons of 500,000 denominations, and the money was taken, but Li Yi's face was not seen.

Li Yi did not come to see him off today, but someone accompanied him.

The pigeon breeder, Li Yi got a lot of pigeons, and gradually opened the distance and released them, mainly because he was familiar with the terrain and magnetic environment of the Jingzhao Mansion generation.

Now take out fifty birds, put them in a cage and take them to Shudi, and try to see if they can return to the nest.

"If it is feasible, fly back to raise a raise, and then take some more pigeons to Shudi, and then fly back." The pigeon breeder is talking to Wong Hyun Young.

He knows the purpose of the pigeons, and the old pigeons take the new pigeons and fly back on a long journey.

The pigeon's feet are lined with letterboxes, in which the contents are written in ciphers.

The password is a book printed separately by Li Zhuangzi, and the numbers and even the pinyin combination of the beginning of the word indicate where the book is located.

"One at a time, fifty times." Huang Xianrong is looking forward to it, and when he arrives in Shudi, he will raise another batch of pigeons.

Through land express horse transportation, the communication from Shudi to Chang'an at the critical moment will be countless times faster.

"Not one, at least five, lest you lose your way back, or be caught by birds of prey on the road." The pigeon breeder shook his head slightly.

"How many days does it take to get from Shu to Chang'an?" Huang Xianrong thought about it, felt that it made sense, and asked about speed.

"One day." The pigeon breeder cocks up a finger.

He is confident that the pigeons raised by his team will easily fly back from Shu in one day.

"Quick, really fast. Why don't you bring some pigeons? "Huang Xianrong is not familiar with carrier pigeons at all, he still has problems.

"I didn't lay eggs, and when the eggs were laid, the attempt here was successful, and the hatched pigeons would be passed over by the special post station, and I would raise them there."

The pigeon keeper looked a little sad when he talked about being there.

He has a lot of responsibilities on his shoulders, and he is the best of the pigeon breeders.

When he gets to the place, he needs to teach others to keep pigeons, and then he can come back, his home is in Chang'an.

As if thinking of this question, Huang Xianrong was relieved: "Li Dongzhu will take care of your family, how much money will he give you every month?" ”

"Fifty wields." The pigeon breeder finally smiled, fifty wields, he was the best one.

50,000 yuan a month, 600,000 yuan if there is no leap month in a year, 650,000 yuan if there is a leap month.

In the past, he raised pigeons for others, and he only had 500 yuan a month, which was a hundred times worse.

Huang Xianrong looked at the pigeon breeder next to him who looked very simple, but he didn't expect that the salary was against the sky.

"So you can save up to buy a house." Huang Xianrong congratulated.

"There is a house, the proprietor gives the house, and the house in the south of Chang'an City is specially set aside for a place.

Anyone who keeps a pigeon and whose family lives in a two-story courtyard surrounded by protected people.

Prevent my family members from being caught and used to threaten us, and when there are more pigeons raised in Datang, it will be safe. ”

When the pigeon breeder talks about the house, his smile does not change.

Huang Xianrong realized that he hadn't thought enough about it, and he suddenly asked, "What should you do if you were caught by the enemy and asked to pass on false information?" ”

"I ...... I won't say yes to death. "The pigeon breeder bows his head.

What he actually thought was that he would change to a different kind of paper, the kind of special paper that could not be seen on the surface, and each piece of paper had a number.

The special paper is numbered on a special number, which is different for each pigeon breeder.

Using special paper to deliver the news, Chang'an knew that something had happened.

Will find a way to rescue while using his own line.

You have to work hard to live and wait for the day when you will be saved.

If the line is broken, it will not work, and the rescuer will not be able to find himself if the line is broken.

It's all said to be good, and every aspect is considered.

Of course, he won't tell outsiders and put on a loyal appearance.

"Sailing~~! Bon voyage~! ”

The people on the shore shouted and helped to support the boat, and the people in the steamer stepped on it a few times, adjusted the rudder, and the boat was rushed down the river.

The Salt Gang took four steamers, one of which was tested in the Yangtze River waterway.

In the rapids, the boats have to rely on the slender man, and in other places there are oars and no oars to support the sails.

Therefore, the waterway above the Yangtze River is wider than that of the downstream, and the downstream goes directly downstream, and if the wind is not good, it will go back and forth.

The sailboat you see usually walks diagonally to the left and then to the right, and the people on board keep operating the sails, which is also a hard work.

Just downwind, the sails are full, and the downward ship is down.

The four steamers need to help pull their big boats in the rapids, and if successful, the porter's job will be easier.

The ship was a modified ship with sails on it, so that when the wind was good, it could keep up with the large troops.

"It's easier to change to the new boat of Li Zhuangzi's oars turning flowers underwater."

Huang Xianrong stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the ship in front of him and talking to Yang Huanjin.

Yang Huanjin raised his hand to test the wind: "It won't be released, the underwater oar is a military weapon." ”

"The proprietor Li gave 500,000 exchange coupons, plus the tens of thousands of exchange coupons we received from selling goods in Chang'an, and we will be robbed madly when we return to Shu."

Huang Xianrong did not hope for more advanced oars, and talked about making money with exchange coupons.

Now all the Shu merchants who can get exchange coupons have to bring some back.

Some add one penny for every hundred dollars to exchange for others, and some add one penny for fifty yuan.

People who buy snacks with exchange vouchers, set up stalls and open shops are willing to give a little more.

Shu lacks copper, and the economy of Shu has developed well in history, and the circulating currency is insufficient, so it has to cast iron money.

The ratio of iron money to copper money is too large, and you need to carry a lot to buy something, which is too heavy.

For example, if you buy a piece of something, use copper coins, six catties and four taels, and it is very uncomfortable to carry.

In exchange for iron money, it may be more than sixty catties.

The voucher is convenient, a piece of paper is fluttering, the picture is good-looking, and others can't fake it.

500,000 yuan exchange coupons, according to 50 yuan plus 1 penny, they can go back with 10,000 yuan.

"If you don't add money, go back and tell the people from other big business houses that you don't add money to exchange vouchers, but if something happens in the future, they must help us first."

Yang Huanjin shook his head, exchanging the normal ratio for a chance to help.

At the beginning, the salt merchants in Shu didn't use their own money to help the imperial court transport things, so where did they have the face to ask Li Yi for help?

The return for what you have paid is tax-free.

I earned it all back all at once, and there is more.
