31. Prince interprets dreams
The crowds of people, the empty alleys, and the crowds are not enough to describe the liveliness at the entrance of the Yangzhou Mansion today. Up to the officials and nobles, down to the common people, from the crane-haired old people, to the small drooping children, it's so lively!
The reason why so many people can come is that the adult in the Yangzhou Mansion loves the people like a son. Maybe he really loves the people like a son, but Zhu Houzhao dared to say that the people who came to the bowl of life-saving porridge accounted for eight or nine out of ten. After all, who would dare to wipe the face of Emperor Taizu. It can be said that this method is very attractive to people. As long as there are people, there will be a deal. Even if only 1 in 10 people on this flooded street are willing to give it a try, then the business is done.
"Everyone, be quiet, be quiet!"
"Next, I would like to invite our Lord Ma Wensheng and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to tell us all about His Majesty's holy will this time!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, this time this time this official and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Zhu Houzhao came to bring you good news!" Ma Wensheng stepped forward and said, "Wusun, you tell everyone about it!" ”
"Fellow villagers, this palace and Lord Ma are here today to bring your majesty's blessings." Zhu Houzhao said, "A few months ago, my father met Emperor Taizu in a dream! ”
As soon as they heard Emperor Taizu, everyone's hearts and breath suddenly rose, don't ask why, dreams are like this. Although it is mysterious and mysterious, those who believe it are true, nine times out of ten.
"My father asked Emperor Taizu in a dream how to make the people's lives better and better. But Emperor Taizu kept shaking his head, saying that he was too old and had bad ears to hear clearly. "Zhu Hou made it up in a good way," Father is often in a hurry, and it just so happened that at this time, Emperor Taizu handed his father an envelope. Then my father had just taken the letter, but suddenly found that he had woken up. Then, on the morning of the next day, a minister asked for a few days off. Why did the minister take a leave of absence? Naturally, I received a letter from home that was half a month late, and I was saddened by the death of my housemother. ”
"And then, my father wondered. In yesterday's dream, Emperor Taizu wanted to ask for advice but couldn't speak, but today a letter came from home. Isn't this letter and family letter, guess what? Zhu Houzhao said without hurry, "Father, it's the same as everyone thinks, there must be something strange in this!" ”
"So, Your Majesty called the people of Qin Tianjian and asked them to see if Emperor Taizu had any instructions!" Zhu Houzhao said, "Then Your Majesty told the people of the Qin Heavenly Prison about the things in the dream, and after the divination of the people of the Qin Heavenly Prison. It is said that Emperor Taizu means a post station! What is the post station, it is a place for official documents, grain and grass escort! ”
"Therefore, Your Majesty has decided that this station is ready to be opened to the people! The people sent a letter from home to send their thoughts from afar, but either it was too late to know what happened, or the book was gone without a word, or even lost on the way! Of course, Your Majesty has great ambitions and lofty aspirations. I also know that it is not easy for businessmen to exchange goods over the years. Although this dart game is convenient for the transportation of merchants, the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, the fear of being robbed! ”
"Do any of you in this room do you have any business? I think you're in business! Zhu Houzhao pointed to a man who was covered in silk and satin, and the shoes under his feet were of high quality material but were somewhat seriously worn.
"Back to Your Highness, I am doing fur trading here!" That's humane.
"Look, I'm not right. The fur business is a big deal, what are you short of money? The dart board was robbed, what you lack is the money that the dart board accompanies you? I don't think so, but your credibility with the other customer is what you value most, right? Zhu Houzhao said.
"That's right. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise! The merchant said.
"I have been waiting for three days and two ends, and I can't wait for the goods. Finally, a month later, you wrote him another letter saying that he had been robbed, wouldn't it delay someone's business and ruin your own reputation? I'm not here to target darts or teeth! His Majesty is ready to let the post station also serve the people, and the water can carry the boat and capsize the boat. If you hand over your goods to the post station. The inn will give you a receipt, one for each of you. Then where the goods are today, where they are tomorrow, when they will go here, when they will arrive at the destination, who they will hand over to, and who will pick up your goods, it is clear at a glance and recorded in the book. If you encounter any natural or man-made disasters, as long as there is a problem in any link in the middle, you will be prompted to respond immediately. ”
"And the court will give you some silver taels as compensation, not only for the transportation of goods, but also for your letters or letters between friends. Not a person sent somewhere. Instead, the person in charge of our Yangzhou City will send it to the nearest city post, and the personnel of the other city post will quickly send it to the next place, and so on. And every time your goods or letters go to a place, someone will record them, and then feedback to the previous city station, your letters or goods have arrived there. This also allows you to get your goods to their destination in the shortest possible time, and also allows you to know where your goods are in the shortest possible time. ”
Do you think you would be more satisfied with this approach? Just take the receipt you received from the time you shipped your goods and you can check it. And what you send will be identified by the post station and you, and there will be no situation where the goods are missing a few pieces at the destination! If it is less, check it step by step, find the link where the problem occurs, and severely punish the relevant personnel. And you'll be compensated too. Zhu Hou looked after the man who was in the fur business.
"Okay, if that's the case, then I, Xu, will go to the post station for every batch of goods!" Xu Ling said.
"Of course, Your Majesty is now piloting in Yangzhou. During the pilot period, the transportation of goods and correspondence was half price, which means that it was cheaper than elsewhere. Of course, after the nationwide popularization, the price will be cheaper. Of course, I know that there are also darts or tooth walkers who come here. Of course, Your Majesty is aware of your difficulties. So, now is another opportunity for you to eat the imperial grain. And this post station transport food is not a fixed salary, more work and more reward! And you also belong to the public family, of course, you can't just join a tooth shop, the court still has to review, and only those who pass the examination can join. Zhu Houzhao said.
"Your Highness, why do you say that you still have to audit, doesn't it increase the difficulty?" Zhu Houzhao, who was following Liu Jin, reminded in a low voice.
"What do you know, if you don't screen layer by layer, wouldn't all cows, ghosts, snakes and gods be able to come in and fish in troubled waters, and don't you want the law and face of the court? What a fool! Zhu Houzhao knocked Liu Jin's head.
