Chapter 77 Two or three things about the Liu family

Dalong bus transport industry in Yangzhou fire, completely hot, as for what the fire looks like, you can not know who Yangzhou Thorn history is, but you can not know Yangzhou bus, you can not know who the emperor of the Dalong Dynasty is, you can not know Yangzhou bus.

As for why the horse-drawn car is called a bus, many people have asked this question, which is to raise the bar and ignore him.

For those ordinary people who can't afford to buy a carriage or a horse, or even a donkey, they can spend a few pennies to sit in a luxurious carriage, which is a great thing, saving time and trouble, and the most important thing is convenience. The kind that beckons and stops.

As a result, under the guidance of Liu Mingzhi, the bus industry got on the right track little by little, and began to enter the stage of generating income. Dalong Bus is your important partner for home travel, Dalong Bus, your first choice, Dalong Bus, everyone can afford to sit.

What to do with those who ask the beggar, at first glance they are a barricade and ignore him.

Slogans came out in the sound of children running happily, which were hired for money, as for the problem of illegal employment of child labor, it was quite serious, Yangzhou Thorn Shi personally gave a plaque to the Ma family and the Hong family, the first good home, children can earn silver to support their families, which is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people in the eyes of Yangzhou Shen Thorn History, child labor? Child labour is not a problem.

Every morning, noon and afternoon, these children will hold signs and go around Yangzhou City to publicize to the people of Yangzhou City that the first pilot of Dalong Bus is officially opened in Yangzhou.

Big brother, if you can't take the bus, you must be tired and tired when you are sweating, and you can take the bus to take you home safely while resting and chatting.

Uncle, at such an old age, your legs must be inconvenient, right? There are seats in the carriage, so that you can relax and enjoy the service of the official.

Little sister, can't you take the car? What the? Men and women don't kiss, don't want to sit in a carriage with stinky men, women's special carriages, you can swim in Yangzhou City as you like without being peeked at by those stinky men.

XXI ...... In the twenty-sixth year of Xuande, what is the most important, talent is the most important, Hong Tao, the second son of the Hong family, said that he didn't want to be crowded in a carriage with a group of people, and wake up the people in his dreams with a word. Talent is available everywhere, it depends on whether you can find it, come out, Yangzhou taxi, specially prepared for those medium-sized families who have a little money but can't afford to buy a carriage.

Of course, the distinguished guests have to be treated differently, and the eldest brother can't take a taxi? There are pastries, fruits, juices, tea, wine, and cold drinks waiting on it, as well as a maid beating her back and pinching her legs, try it, a big pot.

"Young Master."

"Young Master Liu."

Liu Mingzhi spat out the tea leaves in his mouth, looked at the two people who didn't sleep well at a glance with a happy look on their faces, and their eye circles were not much different from the dumplings in Jinling that had just been lucky by the old man: "How is it, have the bills for the past seven days been calculated?" What are the incomes? ”

"Young master, Lao Ma, I am in charge of Suzhou, Jinling, and Hangzhou..... For long-distance transportation in 12 states, more than 1,700 retail households and more than 230 merchants rented our carriages, and the income from shopping goods totaled 16,000 taels of silver, and the income from the loss of carriages and horses was about 12,000 taels of silver. ”

"Liu Gongzi, Lao Hong, I am in charge of Shaozhou, Jingzhou, Jiangzhou...... In the transportation industry of the 14 prefectures, there are 2,000 retail households, more than 170 merchants, and the total income from shopping on behalf of the goods is more than 18,400 taels of silver, excluding the loss of carriages and horses, and the income from the settlement of wages and wages of coachmen is about 13,000 taels of silver. ”

"Where's the ledger?"

Both of them held a stack of ledgers and put them on the table, Liu Mingzhi carefully looked at it, after all, Yangzhou's transportation industry was his first investment, and he couldn't be sloppy.

Liu Mingzhi has been checking for half an hour, every sum of silver is calculated clearly by addition and subtraction, Ma Biao's accounts are wrong four taels of silver, Hong Ping's accounts are wrong two taels of silver, all within the permissible range, after all, the accounting methods of this era are too backward, and it is natural to sort out such a messy account with a point of error, not everyone is like Liu Mingzhi who graduated from primary school, and the addition and subtraction within ten is not in vain.

"I earned more than 20,000 taels of silver in seven days, it seems that the prospects are not bad?"

"Young master, it's not just good, it's just a lot of money, there are not many people who know it now, like Hangzhou, Suzhou and other places have just popularized the transportation industry, and more people will know in the future, and they will earn more."

"Liu Gongzi, Lao Hong, I have never served anyone in my life in terms of making money, and now I am really committed to Liu Gongzi, Lao Hong has been beating the drum in his heart before, whether Yangzhou's transportation industry can really be accepted by the people, these are only long-distance transportation, we have not yet accounted for the income of buses and taxis in Yangzhou City, and it must not be too little."

"Hmm! The bus is to make a reputation, and it is the long-distance transportation industry that makes money, after all, the limitations of Yangzhou City are very obvious, and the population is still too low. ”

"Liu Gongzi is right, Lao Hong's vision is too low, and he always only cares about staring at his own one-third of an acre, or Liu Gongzi has a long-term view."

"Uncle Ma, the head of the Hong family, I just took a look at the expenses, the expenditure of horses is too small, a thousand horses only spend a total of 7,000 taels of silver, this is not good, the most important thing for the transportation industry to be strong is the horses, only the physical strength of the horses can keep up, the transportation industry can last, don't care about the consumption of thousands of taels of silver, the money will be earned back? We are businessmen, and businessmen want to make money flow, and only know how to make money, isn't that Pixiu? ”

"Yes, yes, we will definitely take good care of the horses in the future, they are my ancestors of Lao Hong, I can't treat them badly."

"And yes."

"Young Master, you command."

"There will be off-seasons and peak seasons in the transportation industry, and there is no source of business in the off-season, so you can also think about doing some business."

Liu Mingzhi raised the tangerine in his hand: "The orange is born in the south for the orange, and the north is the orange, this thing is in demand in Zhongzhou, Ganliang Northwest and other places, and it is not impossible to do it appropriately, and the beef and mutton and leather goods in the north are also in demand in the south of the Yangtze River, and they can also be done." The Great Dragon Dynasty does not allow cattle to be slaughtered, the grassland can, and it can be transported over when it's cold. ”

"Yes, the old horse will pay attention."

Liu Mingzhi stretched his waist: "In this case, the affairs of Yangzhou will be handed over to you, young master, I am going back to Jinling, I really haven't found out, young master, I am still a family lover." ”

"Young master, you might as well spend more time in Yangzhou, I have been busy with the business of the transportation industry these days and haven't had much fun, so I can stay longer."

"Yes, Brother Ma Xian is right, Lao Hong hasn't fulfilled the friendship of the landlord yet, so let's stay longer."

...........

"Zhi'er, eat more lamb kidneys, make up for it, I've been suffering in Yangzhou these days, you see you've lost weight." Mrs. Liu couldn't hide a smile on her face, and she sandwiched the dishes for Liu Mingzhi.

Liu Mingli pouted and looked at Mrs. Liu: "Mother, you are eccentric, I also want to eat lamb kidneys, you can't give it all to the eldest brother." ”

Little Lori also pouted and looked at the vegetables in the bowl. A look of unhappiness: "Mother, I also want to eat meat, Xuan'er also wants to eat meat, my mother doesn't hurt Xuan'er." ”

"What kind of lamb kidneys do the little kids eat, eat your food."

Liu Mingzhi found that his breath was full of mutton smell, and he wanted to vomit out when he saw the lamb kidney, but from the time he sat down to the dinner table, he didn't carry a bowl of rice, and all he ate was lamb kidney.

Liu Mingzhi glanced at the lamb kidneys in the bowl with disgust: "Mother, I really can't eat anymore, I'll choke to death if I eat again, I've eaten a few bowls of lamb kidneys." ”

"Huh? Choked? Hurry up and drink a bowl of soft-shelled turtle soup, my mother told you, this is the wild soft-shelled turtle brought up by the next person from the river, I heard that it has lived for more than 20 years, and it has been stewed overnight. ”

"Mother, my sister and I also want to drink soft-shelled turtle soup."

"What kind of soft-shelled turtle soup do you drink, and eat your vegetables?"

It's a big supplement again, Liu Mingzhi touched his face, is it really thin? No, I eat and drink a lot in Yangzhou, how can I lose weight? If she didn't drink the soft-shelled turtle soup in front of her, Mrs. Liu's face immediately became sad: "My son can't help my mother, you have never been picky about the food that my mother served you before, my life is so bitter." ”

Liu Mingzhi immediately changed his face: "Don't, don't, don't, my son drinks, my son drinks it immediately, isn't it just soft-shelled turtle soup?" As long as it is Niangsheng, even if it is ginseng soup, the son will drink it without frowning. ”

Mrs. Liu pursed her lips and nodded: "My son is still the most filial, and I also drink ginseng soup, this is what Zhi'er said personally, but I can't regret it!" ”

Click, the spoon in Liu Mingzhi's hand fell into the bowl, a bad premonition suddenly rose, Mrs. Liu smiled like a flower from the table behind her brought a small soup can and gently placed it on the table: "Fifty-year-old ginseng, this is my mother's heart, I have to drink it dry." ”

"Five........ Ten years, I have no illness or disaster, do I use ginseng soup for 50 years? ”

"It's a big deal."

Not to mention the big supplement, this can make up for the rhythm of death: "Mother, I'm really full, can I not drink it?" ”

"Mother, my second brother and I also want to drink ginseng soup." Little Lori looked at the soup can on the table, showing a wistful look, she had never drunk such a thing as ginseng soup.

Liu Mingli leaned into Little Lori's ear and muttered, "Little sister, ginseng soup is a medicine, it's very bitter, we can't drink it." ”

Little Lori flashed a trace of fear in her eyes, and hurriedly shook her head with Mrs. Liu: "Mother, Xuan'er eats vegetables, Xuan'er doesn't drink ginseng soup." ”

"My son can't help my mother, my wings have hardened after only a few days of going out, and I don't listen to my mother's words, why am I so miserable, master, where are you, I'm a woman, ..........."

"Drink, drink, drink right away."

Putting the porridge bowl on the table heavily, Liu Mingzhi burped: "Mother, I'm full, I'll go back to the study first." ”

Mrs. Liu blinked her eyes a few times: "My son is the most well-behaved, I will drink it tomorrow, and my mother will stew it for you." ”

Liu Mingzhi, who had just gone out, was so confused that he almost knelt on the ground, and he was still drinking, which was really fatal.

After Liu Mingzhi left, Mrs. Liu sneakily walked behind the screen, Liu Zhian was holding an account book to look through, and when she saw Mrs. Liu coming in, she immediately put down the account book: "Madam, have you drunk everything?" ”

"I've drunk them all, how many big bowls have I drunk, master, Zhi'er's body won't be damaged, it's ginseng soup and soft-shelled turtle soup, can you afford it?"

"Hey, sir, I'm from here, you just wait to hug your grandson."

This dad is a pit son.
