Later, under the persuasion of officials of the Ministry of Finance, Li Wenyuan once again set aside one of the carriages that transported Wuwei County's specialties to Dunhuang County and put them in the ranks of transporting goods for the people.

As a result, the number of special products transported to Dunhuang County has also decreased. After the supply was reduced, although there was not much fluctuation in the number of local products given to the people, the prices of various local products of high quality to those high-ranking officials and nobles were almost doubled. But even if the price of this kind of thing doubles, it is still cheap for dignitaries. So it didn't cause any market volatility. Moreover, because it can transport more goods sent by the people, this part of the income makes the economic benefits of this steam locomotive far more than double that of the previous one. Moreover, as the materials needed to transport the army for war began to gradually fill the logistics warehouse, the steam locomotives that came out of Dunhuang County every day were no longer fully loaded. Often, when all kinds of military supplies are combined, only about half of the carriages can be filled.

In addition to carrying all kinds of things consigned by the people, Li Wenyuan hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to open the business of transporting all kinds of things consigned by the people, and directly called this business express delivery; Moreover, the steam locomotive transportation business was officially opened. When this steam locomotive came out of Dunhuang County, the front half of the carriage was filled with all kinds of military supplies, and the last three carriages were used to load various express shipments consigned by the people. Both sections were guarded by elite soldiers with loaded guns, and the middle compartments were built with bunk beds in the simplest way. After all, this is a one-day and one-night trip, and no one can guarantee that you will be able to sit there all the time without getting tired, after all, there is an old saying that it is better to stand than to be upside down.

After this steam locomotive was opened for transportation, the most happy were the merchants who had been running around. They no longer need to hire a large number of porters and cattle and horses to transport livestock, as they did in the past. I only need to talk to the people in Wuwei County one day in advance: When and when will I take this steam locomotive to Wuwei County, and you can prepare horses and vehicles for me there. When the steam locomotive arrives in Wuwei County, the goods you carry with you can be directly consigned, and then placed among the things transported by the people. Anyway, there are special soldiers to take care of them, and these businessmen are not afraid of losing the goods, not to mention that even if the goods are lost, there is still ten times the compensation promised by Li Wenyuan, isn't it? Anyway, it's definitely not going to be a loss.

Later, some smart people discovered the business opportunity. It was a large number of cattle and horses and vehicles that were purchased from the private sector, and then a shop was set up next to the logistics center. It is here to rent these cattle and horses to those merchants, so that they do not have to go to great lengths to contact others, but only need to get off the car and come here to rent a car, the need for horses and vehicles when the time is free for others to help them send the carriage to the place where they get off, and these people will also assist them to load the goods, until he wants to get to the place, after helping them unload the goods, and then collect the rent, they will drive the carriage back to the rental office.

Because the main transportation area is in the vicinity of Wuwei County, it is said that on average, a horse-drawn carriage and the corresponding accompanying porters can run the rental business twice a day, that is, they can run two round trips. So at the beginning, when there were no competitive opponents, this company was the first to open and was specially used to rent out cows, horses and vehicles, and they also made a lot of money. Even after earning the money, he also opened a branch in Dunhuang County, and by the way, he once again expanded the business of renting cars abroad. This time they are no longer limited to renting goods to merchants, no matter who they are, once they need to use the car, but they don't have it in their own hands, they no longer need to accompany the smiling face as in the past, and go around to find relatives and friends to borrow, but directly pay the deposit, and pay some additional rent when they are used, or they can directly have someone to drive the vehicle to the place he wants to go and do what he wants to do. When the time comes, after the account is settled, the person who drives the car will give him a voucher, and with this voucher, he can go to any branch to refund the deposit previously paid.

Under his rule, Li Wenyuan will not care about the various new employment opportunities brought about by the emergence of steam locomotives, as well as the various money-making occupations that have emerged from the people. As long as you don't break the law, don't evade taxes, and don't evade taxes, then how to toss is your own business, and the government won't care about profits and losses.

The rhythm of life in the Western Regions has been going on for a while since Xue Ju and Li Wenyuan fell out. But in the last few days, the steam locomotive suddenly announced that it would stop undertaking various business from the private sector for seven days. In the course of seven days, the train was no longer loaded with all kinds of arms and all kinds of couriers consigned by merchants and civilians. Every time this steam locomotive from Dunhuang County was full of heavily armed soldiers. In order to be able to increase the carrying capacity as much as possible, these soldiers only have a position to sit on their knees in the carriage. But fortunately, these soldiers were also from poor families before they became soldiers, so they didn't complain too much about this cramped and crowded environment.

The reason why so many soldiers had to be transferred was entirely because Li Wenyuan had received the news that Xue Ju and Li Yuan were ready to have a further discussion on the issue of cooperation between the two sides. Because this news means that when he meets Xue Jubing in the future, he may suddenly kill a Li Yuan's army in a position that he doesn't know. If Xue Ju's own army is considered alone, then those troops that are now stationed on the border between the two countries will be sufficient. But if you take into account the army under Li Yuan, then there is a big gap. Because he didn't know the specific extent of what the two sides had discussed, Li Wenyuan had no choice but to do his best to transport as many soldiers as possible in the shortest possible time. I thought that no matter what, I would fill in the gap for the time being.
