Chapter 608 As soon as Qin Huaidao said eighty percent, they were all embarrassed, 100 yuan, a dividend of several thousand yuan a year, but they also knew that it was impossible for Qin Huaidao to eat such a big profit alone, otherwise this might be remembered,

In the back, they said that one person had 300 yuan to buy shares, and now they are not short of money, 300 yuan, they can take it out, and after saying yes, they began to eat and drink.

And at this moment, on the side of the palace, Li Shimin also received the news that Qin Huaidao invited those people to dinner in the Qinfu Restaurant.

"This kid, I heard that the freight station is very profitable, is it true?" Li Shimin heard it, looked at Chai Lingwu and asked, Chai Lingwu is on duty today.

"I heard it's true!" Chai Lingwu is not easy to say anything, anyway, now everyone is spreading that Qin Huaidao, this freight station, must make a lot of money.

"By the way, why does his freight station make money?" Li Shimin thought of this, looked at Chai Lingwu and continued to ask,

"His carriage pulls a lot, and the carriage that goes long distances can pull up to 500 catties per car, while Hu Guogong's carriage can pull 4,000 catties per car, but it takes 2 horses, which is also 4 times that of other carriages!" Chai Lingwu introduced it to Li Shimin, and after Li Shimin heard it, he nodded.

"Let's go, there's nothing to do today, let's go out and see his carriage, this kid is not an official now, and he is starting to think about making money, and his ability to make money is not small!" Li Shimin thought for a moment and said to Chai Lingwu,

Soon they left the palace and arrived at the Qinfu freight station, and then they saw many people loading supplies, and after a while, after more than ten cars were full, they set off.

Moreover, Li Shimin saw that there were a large number of goods piled up in the warehouse, all of which were waiting to be loaded, and there were dozens of workers waiting to be loaded.

"Such a big carriage?" Li Shimin looked at those carriages and was very surprised, and they were all 4 wheels, very stable, just load them directly, fill them up, bring the horses over and put them on and go!

"That's good!" Li Shimin saw it, nodded, and saw that there were so many materials that needed to be loaded here, Li Shimin was also very surprised.

"This master, but I need to deliver it, where will I send it?" A little steward came over and asked Li Shimin and the others.

"How much does it cost to send a batch of goods to Huazhou?" Li Shimin thought for a moment and asked.

"How many goods, we collect money according to the box, in addition, we don't accept valuables!" The little steward asked with a smile.

"Well, it's about five or six thousand catties, just some porcelain!" Li Shimin thought for a moment and said.

"Porcelain, porcelain is more expensive, and we are afraid that it will be broken, and how to pretend to be yourself, you need to fill the wheat stalks, otherwise, it will be over in a flash!

In this way, if it is porcelain, it will take three days to go to Huazhou, and each big box will charge you 8 yuan, five or six thousand catties of porcelain, which is a lot, it is estimated that it will cost two or three hundred alleys, and you have to spend two or three dollars! The little steward said to Li Shimin.

"So expensive?" When Li Shimin heard this, he looked at the little steward in shock.

"I said, this master, are we still expensive? You pretend to try it yourself, you pretend it yourself, it's not enough to have 40 carriages, let's not talk about anything else, let's just say that other people's grooms' money, and people's money for eating horses, do you count it enough?

You hire a carriage for 20 yuan a day, but also for food and accommodation, but also for the horse to eat, a carriage, a day at least 20 yuan, these three days a carriage is 120 yuan, 40 carriages, you calculate how much money you need! Porcelain is a thing that can't hold much, mainly to take up space, and you have to be careful to bump it! The little steward immediately said to Li Shimin.

"Oh!" After Li Shimin heard it, he nodded.

"The goods on my side are sent to Jiaozhou, and a total of 70 boxes are needed, can I leave today? I want to arrive in about ten days! At this moment a merchant came and called out to the little steward.

"Today, you have to hurry up, it's noon now, and the carriage on my side will definitely not be able to leave in the evening!" The little steward shouted at once.

"It's been shipped, it's just outside, you can take a look!" The merchant shouted at Qin Huaidao.

"Okay, just outside, outside, we'll load the cart for you, our side, we may need to send out 200 wagons today! It's too much, a little too busy! The little steward ran out immediately and didn't care about Li Shimin.

"Is it such a good business?" Li Shimin stood there and said in surprise.

"Yo, you don't know, there is such a freight station, how convenient it is for us, not to mention saving money, the key is to send it here without care, we can ride back by ourselves, to the place, go to their freight station to pick up the goods, save trouble and money, can the business be bad?"

Next time I deliver goods from Liangzhou to Chang'an, I will also use their convoy, quickly, I heard that the goods sent to Luoyang a few days ago have all arrived, and now they have been rolled out! A businessman next to him collected the documents, put them close to him, and said to Li Shimin.

"So, why don't you make a cargo station?" Li Shimin looked at the merchant curiously and said.

"That's not possible, look at Hu Guogong's carriage, we can't make it, this carriage, some people have secretly studied it, and they can't get it out at all, other carriages, one cart pulls 500 catties, what's the use?

Look at that carriage, this one is loaded, but it is several times larger than the other carriages, it is just one more horse! The merchant pointed to the carriage in the distance and said to Li Shimin.

"Oh, what's so unique about this carriage?" Li Shimin nodded and walked to the side of the carriage.

"That's not it, if the court needs to transport supplies to the front line, it will be fast, and it will save money!" A merchant spoke,

Li Shimin heard it, his heart moved, and he immediately thought of this, he remembered that in the past, when transporting materials, a cart really couldn't pull much, and the consumption in the middle was huge, but now there is this carriage, and the consumption may be reduced a lot, the key is to pull more!

Li Shimin watched the cargo station for a while, and then returned to the palace, and he was also worried about this matter in his heart, and he called Qin Huaidao to come over tomorrow to talk about this matter.

He knew that Qin Huaidao must have been drinking today, and it was estimated that he couldn't talk about things.

Early the next morning, as soon as Qin Huaidao got up, Wang En came over and said that Li Shimin had summoned him, and Qin Huaidao could only go to the Ganlu Palace.

"Erchen has seen his father!" Qin Huaidao arrived at the palace and said to Li Shimin with a smile.

"Well, went for a drink yesterday?" Li Shimin smiled and pressed his hand against Qin Huaidao, motioned for him to sit down and said.

"yes, drink!" Qin Huaidao smiled and nodded.

"Yesterday my father went out and went to see your carriage, which is really good, if our army has such a carriage, it will save a lot of money! And the consumption also has to build a lot! Li Shimin looked at Qin Huaidao with a smile and said.

"Hehe, that's for sure, my carriage, if you transport grain and grass, 4,000 catties at a time, if you mobilize 1,000 wagons to transport, a round trip is 4 million catties of grain, enough food for 10,000 people to eat a year,

If we say that 10,000 such carriages can be mobilized to transport 100,000 people's food for a year, this can greatly save my Datang's consumption, and there is no need to worry about food shortage!

At the same time, the troops on the front line can also carry a large amount of food, for example, a 1,000-strong army, with 50 such carriages, that is, 200,000 catties of food, enough for them to eat for half a year! Qin Huaidao said to Li Shimin very proudly.

"You kid thought of that, huh?" Li Shimin looked at Qin Huaidao with a smile and asked.

"That's for sure, I must have thought of it, even if the output is still not going now, I can make 70 such carriages every day, and my side consumes a lot, and I need a lot of carriages every day, I estimate that it will be about a month, and it will be about the same! When the time comes, we will be able to produce carriages for our Datang army,

In addition, father, I suggest that in the future, our front-line combat troops should be replaced with this kind of carriage and carry it with the army, for example, according to our current establishment, a regiment of 2,000 people, carrying 40 carriages, full of grain,

At the same time, our army also needs to prepare 200 wagons to transport grain from the rear and send it to the front line, and then replenish food for various troops. Qin Huaidao said to Li Shimin.

"Well, okay, that's good, after a month, the military department needs to use your carriage, and my father doesn't want all of you, a month, I need to give 1,000 cars to the military department, okay?" When Li Shimin heard Qin Huaidao say this, he knew that he must have agreed to sell the carriage to the court.

"Okay, no problem!" Qin Huaidao nodded with a smile and said.

"Well, can you make money at this cargo station?" Li Shimin then looked at Qin Huaidao and asked.

"Hehe, didn't the minister over there say that the minister had 1,000 yuan a month, and he still got too much? Then let them see, 1000 yuan a month? Who do you look down upon? My cargo station, if it is full of Datang, the profit will be more than 1,000 yuan a day! Qin Huaidao became even more proud at this time,

When Li Shimin heard it, he wondered if he had heard it wrong, and immediately looked at Qin Huaidao and asked, "How much did you just say?" ”

"1,000 yuan a day!" Qin Huaidao looked at Li Shimin puzzled and said.

"So much?" Li Shimin looked at Qin Huaidao in shock and asked.

"That may be underestimated, yesterday, the income of the cargo station in Chang'an reached 100 yuan, deducting those costs, it is estimated that there is 80 yuan left, and there will be more today, yesterday was not so much more carriage!" Qin Huaidao smiled and said to Li Shimin,

Now there are still a large number of goods at Chang'an Cargo Station, waiting to be loaded and left, and the car production will not win.
