Hong Ping's expression was complicated: "Liu Gongzi refers to the dart?" But this is the business of the dart board, and besides, what kind of dart game can use fifteen hundred good horses to bet darts? ”

"It's not a dart, it's used to pull goods, people and animals, and the like."

"Young master, you can't, pulling goods is what the old horse does, our Liujia Horse Farm is a thousand good horses, I don't know how much effort it took to cultivate, how can it be used to pull a cart for delivery?"

"I ask you, what do ordinary people do when they go out? What to do if you go to a distant land? ”

Ma Biao hesitated twice and said: "Most of the words near are walking, and the words from afar are also walking." ”

Aren't you fucking bullshit.

Hong Ping also echoed: "Brother Ma is right, ordinary people travel on two legs when they go out, they can't afford to buy horses and other livestock, and cattle are even more reluctant, which is more expensive than people." ”

"I ask you, how long does it take to walk from the south to the north of the city on foot?"

"Half an hour or half an hour less."

"Where's the carriage? How long will it take? ”

"About two quarters of an hour will do."

"Where is the carriage rushing?"

"In less than a quarter of an hour, you can walk from the south of the city to the north of the city."

"Uncle Ma, it will take me a day and two nights to reach Yangzhou by carriage from Jinling, if I walk anywhere? How long does it take to walk? ”

Ma Biao muttered for a while: "Young master, it will take about seven days." ”

"If the footman carries the goods?"

"It takes ten days and half a month to arrive, and you have to be a young and strong young man."

Liu Mingzhi clapped his hands: "Isn't this enough?" Isn't business coming? And it's big business. ”

"Young master, the old horse is confused, and I still don't know."

"Young Master Liu, what does this you just asked have to do with business?"

Liu Mingzhi sighed, the limitations, this is the limitations: "If you are a foot trader, doing business from Yangzhou to Suzhou, you can only walk on the right path for ten days and a half for five taels of silver, sleep in the open air, sleep overnight, and work hard for the whole hard money." There is an opportunity for you to travel from Yangzhou to Suzhou in just three days, and you can earn five taels of silver, but you have to spend one or two silver to take the car, so you can only earn four taels of silver, but you can run three or four times in ten days, and then you can earn more than a dozen taels of silver, which one do you choose? ”

"Of course, I chose to earn a dozen taels of silver, and no one is a fool."

"So how can you run three or four times from Yangzhou to Suzhou in ten days?"

Hong Ping thought for a while with a look of surprise: "Riding in a carriage, you can't run three or four times when you are tired of walking, you can only ride a horse or take a carriage." ”

"The carriage is full of people now, how many people can be made in one carriage?"

"Now it's okay to sit seven or eight people."

"Then make the carriage bigger, longer and wider, try to seat as many people as possible, one horse does not move, then two horses to pull it, from the south of the city to the north of the city to walk for half an hour, spend five cents and a quarter of an hour to arrive, the common people can't afford to buy horses and can't afford to sit on a five-cent car?"

"From the south of the city to the north of the city, ten people are pulled in a car, and half an hour is fifty wen?"

"The merchant has been gone for a longer time, and the goods are smaller and add a penny, and the goods are larger and add three pennies, which is silver again."

"Young master, how much silver do you get this day?"

"This depends on the flow of people, for example, a rich kid wants to eat a fruit, Yangzhou does not have Jinling, he has to work hard to let people go to Jinling to buy, how much silver does it cost, the rich lady wants to use Suzhou's rouge gouache, to buy a trip and have to spend silver, hey, business is here again, they buy a trip to spend ten taels of silver, we only charge five taels of silver, and free delivery, Yangzhou to Jinling delivery of the driver can buy fruit from Suzhou a few more steps, Jinling to buy rouge, on the contrary, Jinling wants something, we can also bring over, This is called daigou. ”

Hong Ping's eyes were already in the shape of copper coins, and he was obviously attracted by Liu Mingzhi's blueprint: "What does Liu Gongzi mean, let's use these more than 1,000 good horses for transportation?" ”

"That's right, short-distance buses, medium- and long-distance buses, ultra-long-distance freight. I can't do it if I don't want to. Fifteen hundred horses, five hundred horses at a time, take turns to rest, Suzhou, Yangzhou, Hangzhou, Jinling, Shaozhou, Yongzhou.......... There are more than 30 states in the south of the Yangtze River, as long as you give money to go as far as you want, you don't have to worry about the horse's hoof damage, as long as you spend some money to prepare good forage for the horses, isn't this all silver for nothing? ”

Ma Biao was still a little hesitant: "Young master, if you use a good horse-drawn cart to deliver goods, the old horse still feels ..........."

"Uncle Ma, I don't want these good horse-drawn carts that have spent countless efforts to deliver goods in Bingzhou, isn't there no way? You can't sell it, they eat and drink at the horse farm every day and let the horse master herd it, isn't there still no way? Making the best use of things is the way to go. ”

"Brother Ma, Fang Cai Hong has roughly calculated, just like Fang Cai Liu Gongzi said, this year's profit is about 500,000 silver, which is a big income."

Ma Biao was also shocked and said: "500,000? If the young master wants to account for seventy percent, isn't that more than thirty thousand silver in a Chinese New Year's Eve? ”

"Young Master Liu, you give out the horses, and the Hong family comes out of the carriage and coachman, isn't it a little ............. to divide the accounts of the three sevens" Hong Ping was shocked by the profits that Liu Mingzhi said, and the three seven accounts were naturally a little unwilling.

"My Liu family wants to make a car from wood is very simple, it just takes a little time, your Hong family wants horses, only my Liu family has it, I have the mentality of not bothering the two masters, the Hong family is content and happy."

Only then did Hong Ping react, secretly scolding himself for his own interests, he was the one who asked for help, and when he talked about business with the Liu family, his status had to be equal.

"Young Master Liu, Hong is disrespectful, say goodbye first, and Hong will immediately go to prepare timber and build a large number of carriages."

"Master Hong, don't send it if you go slowly."

After Ma Biao sent away Hong Ping's father and son, he looked at Liu Mingzhi unwillingly: "Young master, my Liu family can do this transportation business by myself, as the young master said, my Liu family wants to make some wood is just a small matter, why let Li Sancheng give it to the Hong family?" More than 100,000 taels of silver, isn't the young master .............?"

Liu Mingzhi raised his eyebrows: "Too sloppy? ”

Although Ma Biao didn't speak, his expression was clearly like this.

"Uncle Ma, if this matter is handled by the old man, what will he do?"

"Even if the Liu family will not be ruined, it will break its muscles and bones, and there will definitely be no cooperation with my Liu family, and it will give more than 100,000 taels of silver a year."

Liu Mingzhi's tone was cold: "Jiangnan Liu, Northwest Cloud, the old man is too ruthless, it is not okay to try to be a big family, Jiangnan Willow is a big move, the status of businessmen is low, sooner or later something will happen, the Liu family needs allies, allies from all over the world, the money is inexhaustible, so you should accumulate some yin virtue for the old man." ”

Ma Biao subconsciously looked at the back hall of the front hall, lowered his brows and stopped speaking.
