Bi Gou also eats noodles, and with an absent-hearted appearance, he can't understand how the post station can support itself.

In other words, he can put a bowl of noodles on the other party's face, Li Yi said that he is not considering the feasibility, but how to operate it.

When he finished eating a bowl of noodles with soup, he still didn't come up with it.

Li Yi accompanied Bi Gou out to take a walk outside to digest food.

"Xiao Yi, tell me where the money comes from?" Bi Gou gave up thinking about himself.

"Now there is, the people let the post guards help bring letters and goods, give money, of course, they are all rich and noble.

Let's start the business, the official post and the folk post operate at the same time, and the convenience post is paid to serve the people, and the boiling water is free.

The people don't stay, they bring their own dry food and pickles, drink boiled water for free, and the post station can't make money......"

Li Yi talked about his logistics and inn at that time, the hotel was good, there was free water in the hall, and there was no bad one, unless it was accommodation.

The post station took the initiative to take it, anyway, it had to boil water for the guests.

If it is a people's stay, the same price, safe in the post station, even if it is to live in a chase shop, one dollar to live for one night, not much.

Merchants need a post station more, find a place to rest, and help watch the goods, so they can ask for more money.

Bi Gou understood and shook his head: "It's not proper, the people have a lot of letters and things to bring, and they can't earn them back." ”

"Yes, the people don't have so many relatives outside." Li Yi smiled and agreed.

Then the smile did not change: "But we can let people use the post station to deliver goods." Look, you know, cantaloupe, right? Can't eat? ”

"It's rotten when it gets there." Bi Gou's face was ugly, thinking that Li Yi was ridiculing him.

"The express delivery that walks three hundred miles, no, the post station, from picking it down to delivering it to you, it can be eaten.

If I am in the local area, I will send someone to Chang'an to ask who wants to buy, pay the money, make up a certain amount, and send it to the post station. ”

Li Yi gave a simple example, cantaloupe can be stored for a period of time, ten days and half a month.

"It's expensive." Bi Gou didn't want to spend that money.

"The local cantaloupe is not worth much in the local area, as long as there is one melon in the local area, not two melons can make an extra money, and the rest is all travel expenses.

You pay ten yuan for one melon, and twenty-five yuan for two melons, and you still don't want to eat it?

I set up a trading house in Hami and a trading house in Chang'an.

Chang'an Commercial Bank is responsible for asking others what they want to buy, not necessarily cantaloupe in the Hami area, but also something from other places.

There are also commercial houses elsewhere, so I got together a group of them, took the money and passed the news to the past, and the local post station sent ......"

Li Yi explained that the time required is different, and the price is naturally different.

If you want to eat Lingnan lychees, as long as you spend money on them, you can run 1,500 miles a day, and you will be delivered to them before they rot.

Ten miles and one post, you throw money and run for you with fast horses.

Replace it with something that can be kept for a long time, and the travel fee is cheaper.

Select something and send it to you at a rate of one hundred and fifty miles a day, and it will be delivered within a month.

For Li Yi at that time, no one bought this speed, what about you when you sell large machinery?

In Datang, from Lingnan to Chang'an, within a month, it is incredibly fast.

The key is that there are many things that Chang'an does not have, and if a merchant transports them in large quantities, he cannot travel 150 miles a day.

The more Bi Gou listened, the brighter his eyes became: "In this way, you don't have to be in Chang'an, between the other two places, you can also operate like this." ”

"Yes! When the post station is in earnings, you can also receive taxes, and the post station has more money to help repair the road.

Those who lost their land and became fugitives were renaturalized, helped at the post station, or picked up goods from the post station and distributed them to the local village households. ”

Li Yizai is talking about express delivery services, he does not have planes, cars, and trains, so he can only take the route of the post station.

"I'll think about it later." Bi Gou walked away in a daze.

Li Yi tilted his head, he didn't care if Bi Conception didn't make sense, this matter had to be done.

Ten miles and a post, increase jobs, improve the speed of logistics, and earn money to build roads.

The flow of goods from all over the country has accelerated, and what should have rotted in the ground has become money.

This is how economic development is achieved little by little.

In the past, people who delivered parcels through the postal service never urged, because it was useless, and it was normal for a package to be delivered for a month or two.

If Datang Shili Yiyi can be established now, its small logistics speed will be the postal speed of Li Yi in the eighties at that time.

The key is that it can be expedited, such as sending a letter, and being willing to give money, then it will be faster.

"Benefiting the people in peacetime, benefiting the army in wartime." Li Yi muttered.

……

Bi Gou has returned to the political hall, and his state is still not very good.

Song Jing and Su Ying are used to it, every time Bi Gou says to go to Li Yi to ask about something, they come back like this.

"How's it going? But can the people of Datang have free hot water? Song Jing smiled, he didn't believe it.

Sure enough, Bi Gou shook his head: "Dream, but after a year or two, if you want to eat Lingnan lychees, I can let you eat them until they are not rotten." ”

"I still think it's easier to drink free hot water." Song Jing thinks it's easier to drink water than to eat lychees.

Eating Lingnan lychee, how can the horse run? Someone prepared a horse on the way?

"The nearest post stations are all twenty miles and one post, and where the road is not good, there is even one post in thirty-four miles, unless you are ten miles and one ......."

Su Ying echoed Song Jing and said, stopping as he spoke.

Bi Gou nodded there, and stretched out a thumbs up, which means that you are very powerful, yes, ten miles and one post.

"It's still impossible, it takes too much money, Datang's financial income has increased, but it can't afford to support those post stations anyway."

Su Ying himself once again denied that a post station should arrange people, as well as horses and fields for planting alfalfa grass.

How can you say that you can add it, why don't you say that it is five miles and one post?

"This is ......," Bi Gou said Li Yi's words in his words.

Including the integration of government and private stations, commercial banks in various places to inquire about the situation, profit distribution, charging mode.

After listening to what he said, Song Jing and the others were silent.

The idea is too bold, it's really okay to think about it yourself, and people with a little money are willing to spend more money to eat things that they couldn't eat before.

For example, oysters, dried shrimp, and sea rice in winter sold well in Chang'an, and it is said that the Song king got a high profit.

If the profits of King Song are depressed, I believe that the people will eat more.

Are greenhouse vegetables expensive? The people will still buy it, because they have money, and they are willing to spend it on food.

There are also sea cabbages, which are also not cheap, and they are all bought and sold by the King of Song.

If the price of dried sea cabbage bought directly from the sea was lower than the price sold by the Song King in Chang'an City, they guaranteed to buy it from the post station.

What season is coming, what is the production of what place, the trading house in Chang'an sent someone to ask.

If others want to buy it, they will get the money first, and then they will be delivered in batches.

The short shelf life is expensive, and the long shelf life is relatively cheap.

"In this way, the money is spent on the road, the one who sells earns less, and the one who buys is more paying for the journey."

Song Jing sensed a problem in the transaction.

"Yes." Su Ying agreed, spending money is wronged.
