Chapter 277: Livelihood (1)
After Liu Min and Zhang Jing finalized the business strategy for their livelihood in Yishu Garden, they decided to tie ten carriages first; The carriage is full of colorful sheds for sightseeing and tourism.
At the same time as preparing ten carriages, another 50 sets of sliding rods were made; Each pair of slides is equipped with 3 carrying hands, and a total of 150 people are hired.
The carriage sliding rod is fused together and is called "carriage sliding pole line", and it is ready to develop tourism and tourism in Bianliang City.
The idea of "carriage sliding pole travel" was first proposed by Liu Min, who conceived it based on his own perception of traveling to Mount Emei in later generations and riding a horse-drawn carriage in London, England.
Liu Min's idea matured after the observation and supplementation of Zhang Jing and Huoshui Buffalo in the tourist attractions of Bianliang.
The boss of the "carriage sliding pole line" is played by the fire buffalo, and the deputies are Wang Yang and Zhao Ji, while Grandpa Huo, Jing Huijing, Wang Zhou, and Gong Huangxing temporarily manage the land in Heze Garden; Gong Mei was asking around about the preparation of a silversmith shop, and several women, including Hongyun, Luxing, Lanmei, Bai Xue, Qiaojie, and Qiaomei, were familiar with nursing and medical skills, and planned to open a pharmacy in the city.
Several parties are in full swing in the process of raising business, and the business raising work of Huoshui Buffalo, Wang Yang, and Zhao Ji is even faster.
Yang Cuihua's responsibility is to manage the entire finance of Yishu Garden, and Zhang Jing, as an outsider of Yishu Garden, is naturally in charge of the overall situation; Keep going around checking on progress.
Zhang Jing originally wanted to unload the burden of managing the overall situation to Liu Min, but Liu Min refused; After Liu Min rejected Zhang Jing, he locked himself in his room and read several history books; Relive the skills you learned at Xuanji Cave.
After half a month of weather preparation, the business progress of Yishu Garden is very smooth; The fire buffalo deliberately brought the tethered carriage back to Yishu Garden for everyone to watch, saying that the "carriage sliding pole line" would open soon.
Liu Min saw that the three heads of the fire buffalo, Wang Yang, and Zhao Ji were in a hurry to open; After thinking about it, he said: "The carriage and pole line we formed is the first in Bianjing City, and a grand opening ceremony should be held to publicize and attract more tourists!" ”
Liu Min frowned as he spoke, and said thoughtfully: "Since it is the first time to open the world, then the official has to come forward, and it is best to invite Yin Zhao Tingmei of Kaifeng Mansion to participate in the ribbon-cutting at the opening ceremony!" ”
Liu Min's proposal was tantamount to thunder echoing in the 500-acre Yishu Garden, and Zhang Jing, Huo Buffalo, Wang Yang, and Zhao Ji were all dumbfounded.
Zhang Jing stared at Liu Min for a long time before he said a word: "Sister Fairy, aren't you daydreaming?" In order to make a living, we ordinary people make carriages and slide poles to earn money to make a living, and we have to invite when we open; Kaifeng Mansion Yin Zhao Tingmei came to cut the ribbon! ”
Zhang Jing paused as he spoke: "Kaifeng Mansion Yin Zhao Tingmei is the emperor's younger brother and future emperor, and people will come over to cut the ribbon for us!" ”
Liu Min couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Zhang Jing say the sentence "Yin Zhao Tingmei of Kaifeng Mansion is the emperor's younger brother and future emperor"; He laughed and said: "Brother Zhang has seen it, Yin Zhao Tingmei of Kaifeng Mansion is the younger brother of the current emperor Zhao Tingmei, yes!" ”
After a pause, he said in a voice: "To put it bluntly, Kaifeng Mansion Yin is the prince, which is Emperor Taizong inheriting the will of Emperor Taizu; When Grandpa Tai was the emperor, wasn't Taizong the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion? Grandpa Tai ascended to heaven, and Grandpa Tai became the emperor as a matter of course! ”
The reason why Liu Min said this and did not expose the conspiracy of the "candlelight axe shadow" Zhao Guangyi to seize the throne was that she wanted to temporarily maintain the dignity of the royal clan and put gold on the face of Zhao Heng, the king of Xiang.
After Liu Min finished the above words, he summed up quite insightfully: "After we came to Bianliang from Shudi, we witnessed the prosperity of the city of Beijing, and the Daxiangguo Temple, a trading place with ten thousand surnames, stood out from the crowd; But do you know where the prosperity of the Bianliang market comes from? It's not Kaifeng Mansion yet! ”
After a pause, he swallowed his throat and said: "Kaifeng Mansion is the general manager of the market of Bianjing City and even the real Great Song Kingdom, the responsibility of Kaifeng Mansion Yin is the security and economic prosperity of the capital, and Zhao Tingmei is the Kaifeng Mansion Yin; Racking his brains to promote the development of Bianliang's economy, we invite him and he will definitely come back! ”
Liu Min said like this, Zhang Jing, Huo Buffalo, Wang Yang, Zhao Ji and a group of people still seemed to listen to the book of heaven and did not believe that the opening of the carriage and horse sliding pole could invite Kaifeng Mansion Yin.
Seeing everyone's suspicions, Liu Min couldn't help laughing out loud, and said, "It seems that a few brothers don't believe that Kaifeng Mansion Yin will come back to participate in our opening ceremony, but if you let Xiangwang Zhao Heng invite; Fourth prince, can he come? Everyone must understand that Zhao Tingmei is the uncle of Zhao Heng, the king of Xiang! ”
As soon as Liu Min said this, Zhang Jing suddenly became excited; I saw him kicking his feet on the ground and laughing, and said: "It turns out that the fairy sister is confident, how can the villain forget the relationship between King Xiang?" If King Xiang comes forward to invite his uncle, there is no eighty percent chance of winning! ”
Zhang Jing said and stretched out his thumb and shook his praise Liu Min and said: "Sister Immortal is really Zhang Liang is alive, Zhuge is reborn; Learn to be rich in five cars, only eight buckets high; Then we are waiting for your good news! ”
"It's better sooner rather than later!" Liu Min said excitedly: "Brother Zhang and Brother Buffalo should hurry up the preparations, and Minzi will rush to King Xiang to see him immediately; Then determine the opening time of the carriage and horse sliding pole line! ”
As soon as Grandpa Huo heard that Liu Min was going to return to Xiangwang's Mansion, he couldn't wait to say: "Granddaughter, you can't do it if you want a moth to fight the lamp!" We finally escaped from the wolf's den, and the posture when we escaped is unforgettable! ”
Grandpa Huo stretched his neck and swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Now Bianliang City is full of examples of capturing us; You didn't go to Xiangwang's Mansion to fall into the net! ”
Liu Min looked at Huo Renfu and smiled, and said: "Grandpa, don't be bitten by a snake for three years and be afraid of the well rope, the list in the city is posted everywhere, but the above simulates the portraits of grandpa, my mother, and Sister Jing; Liu Min, Hongyun, and Zhang Qi were masked when they fought with the officers and soldiers, and none of them remembered our faces, so there was no simulation on the list; So it's safe for Toshiko to go into the city to find King Xiang! ”
When Huo Renfu saw Liu Min say this, he stopped bothering; Liu Min and Hongyun put on makeup and wanted to go to Xiangwang's Mansion, but when they were about to leave, Yang Cuihua rushed over, saying that she had never been to Xiangwang's Mansion and wanted to go with Liu Min and Hongyun to have a look.
As soon as Liu Min thought of Yang Cuihua's generous and righteous financial management, he agreed to her request.
The three women dressed as men, Zhang Jing suddenly said: "Huojiazhuang rushed to Bianliang City for seventy or eighty miles, and the carriage we tied was resting in Yishu Garden; Sister Fairy might as well go by carriage! ”
"It's better this way!" Liu Min clapped his hands and said, "It's faster to take the carriage to act, then it's so decided!" ”
A carriage quickly stopped in front of Liu Min and the others, driven by a fire buffalo; Zhang Jing said that he went to let the fire buffalo stay.
The fire buffalo glanced at Zhang Jing and said, "Little Brother Zhang is now an outsider, how can such a big family business in Yishu Yuan leave the outside!" ”
The fire buffalo said that he had already carried the whip in his hand, looked at Zhang Jing and said: "Zhang Yuanwai should stay in Yishu Garden to take care of the family business, and the buffalo will send Minzi's little sister to Xiangwang's mansion!" ”
As he spoke, the fire buffalo raised his arms and whipped his whip, and the three horses began to move forward with vigorous steps.
Liu Min sat in the carriage with great interest and stared at the three majestic horses, and couldn't help but say, "Brother Buffalo, tell me why a car should be equipped with three horses?" ”
The fire buffalo is another whip, but this whip is not whipped on the horse, but explodes in the air; The three horses heard the whip of the fire buffalo and the speed was even faster.
Seeing the three horses running, the fire buffalo answered Liu Min's question with interest: "Minzi Xiaomei just asked why a car tied three horses?" That's because the strength of a horse can only pull three or four people, and after running for half a day, they will be out of breath; If there are many people, you won't be able to hold it up for a long time! ”
He cleared his throat and raised his voice: "The vehicles we make are all wooden hub wheels, and the body is heavier; If each car carries 10 tourists, it must be pulled by three horses to complete the entire tour! ”
Liu Min was stunned, thinking that the fire buffalo looked confused, but it was really gratifying to be able to calculate such an account, so he praised the fire buffalo sister.
The fire buffalo grinned and said, "Minzi's little sister has won the prize, but the buffalo has really calculated an account, that is, after our carriage shop officially opened; Pulling a person to visit for half a day can collect 200 copper coins, and pulling 10 people is two taels of silver; 20 people can get four taels of silver for two trips a day, so ten cars are 40 taels a day; 1200 taels a month; After shaving the labor cost of carriages and horses, ten carriages earn 600 taels of silver a month! That's not even counting the money you make with 50 pairs of rods! ”
As soon as the fire buffalo settles the accounts, Liu Min knows that the tourism industry makes a lot of profits; It's just that during the Taiping Rejuvenation of the Northern Song Dynasty, people did not have a sense of tourism, and once the carriage and pole line of Yishu Garden opened; It will definitely make those of them who came to Bianliang from Shu make a lot of money.
The carriage traveled for more than an hour and came to Wansheng Gate in the west of the city; The access control requires Liu Min and the four of them to show a "certificate", which is also a road guide.
Lu Yin is the ID card of the common people when they migrate and move, and it matures during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty.
In the fourteenth year of Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty promulgated - "The style of the yellow book is in the world, so that the people of the world occupy the title with their own name." ”
In view of the social turmoil at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, in order to keep the people from chaotic; The management of the household registration system is very strict, and different occupations must be classified as different registrations.
For example, civilian, military, and medical registration...... It is approved every ten years, and according to birth, old age, sickness and death, the household registration is rebuilt.
However, "foreign nationality" is allowed, such as separation, marriage, adoption, etc.; You can change your current citizenship and set up another one.
But there is a kind of nationality - "military nationality" is a hereditary inheritance system that cannot be changed unless the emperor gives permission.
The military and political regulations promulgated after the Xuande Dynasty clearly stated that if these three conditions were met, the "military status" could also be changed.
The three conditions are: Shan Ding, with the name of the student, must pass the examination of the Hanlin Academy; These three conditions must be met at the same time before the military status can be removed, which shows the bottom of the military status of the Ming Dynasty.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the management of household registration was extremely strict, and it was almost impossible to see unemployed vagrants wandering outside; The people are content with their place of origin and cannot be easily changed.
However, any system is close to the beginning and negligent to the end; In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, what "parasiding" and "traveling" also made this kind of "people's peace" management sway.
Image-wise, it's like you're from another place, and you think it's good to go to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou; willfully bought a house and moved to the household registration to become a naturalized citizen, or a rebellious and unruly wanderer in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, this mountain and this water made him wet; Build a thatched hut in the wilderness and drink the wind and howl for the moon...... This is called "Yuyu".
