Only a sufficient exchange of goods can make the common people rich. There is nothing wrong with this sentence that relies on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to draft the water, but the mountain goods are worthless in the mountains, and the aquatic products naturally cannot be sold at a good price by the water.

Only when the mountain goods reach the plains and the aquatic products reach the dry land, can their value be doubled. And to do this, transportation has become the most critical.

Although there are many conveniences to being a nobleman, the transportation industry is really an industry that requires a large number of people, otherwise there would be no famous salt gang and cao gang in history.

A large number of people means the expansion of their own power. If it is placed in the future generations, even if it controls tens of thousands of people, the government will not take it to heart, because no matter how many people there are, it is not enough for the government to fire machine guns for a while.

But in ancient times, this was very dangerous, not to mention tens of thousands of people, even if there were only a few hundred people, and if it was placed in the land of Gyeonggi, it would also cause the imperial court to be jealous.

Because there is no advanced weapon bullet pressure, as long as there are enough people, even with bare hands, it is enough to set off a catastrophe. As long as you think about it, the changes in the Xuanwu Gate of the former Tang Dynasty can be seen that even if there are only a few hundred people, as long as they are properly planned, it is enough to change the dynasty.

Especially Wen Qihang, a noble who was born as a general, if he rashly recruited a large number of people, even if Zhao Laoer's temperament was good, he would blacklist Wen Qihang, and disaster might come at any time.

Only those who were born in businessmen and have a certain official background will not arouse the jealousy of the imperial court. This is the biggest reason why Wen Qihang chose the Four Seas Dart Company.

"As my father expected, Wen Jue really pointed us out another business route." Return to the flat four seas of the dart line and report the results to the flat five lakes.

Ping Wuhu smiled slightly: "But the business road to Luzhong?" ”

"Father is like a god." Ping Sihai nodded in response.

"When your grandfather was here, we used to run the trade road to Luzhong, but because of the expropriation of the former Jin Dynasty and the increasingly serious banditry, we had to give it up.

However, since Wen Jue broke the bandits in Luzhong, for more than a year, the remaining bandit forces have also been eliminated by officials at all levels one by one, and they have been regarded as the sincerity of surrendering to the new dynasty.

Now that the bandits have been eliminated and the trade route is about to open, there will inevitably be an explosive growth in the exchange of goods. It's just that my father is worried about the attitude of the imperial court after the reopening of this trade route........

Although paying taxes is an inevitable thing, I am afraid that the imperial court will do its best to catch fish, and the newly opened business road will not be able to bear the excessively high taxes. Ping Wuhu carefully analyzed. His intention is also to teach Ping Sihai to observe the overall situation.

Ping Sihai pondered: "What my father is worried about is that it is still difficult to implement the imperial decrees, and the business road to Luzhong has to pass through several states and counties along the way, and their taxes are collected separately........ And if we invest a huge amount of money in advance, it is inevitable that there will be a risk of credit.

Once faced with this situation, we are afraid that we will be overturned. ”

One must build on a firm foundation! If the merchant feels that he can't make money by taking a trip to Luzhong, he will definitely give up this newly opened business route, once the merchant gives up, they do these dart lines for freight, where there are still goods to be escorted.

If the Four Seas Dart Line has not seen the dawn on the premise of laying out this trade road in advance, then it is really going to drink the northwest wind.

"Yes! The stakes are just too great. Ping Wuhu sighed.

"Fourth brother, didn't that guy Wen Qihang say that he was going to hand over his medicine business to us?" Ping Shiyuan, who had been listening to the discussion between the two, reminded in a low voice.

"Buying and selling medicines?" Ping Wuhu wondered.

"Yes, father." Ping Shiyuan nodded in confirmation.

"What did Wen Jue say about this pharmaceutical deal?" Heigoko looked at Hei-Shikaido.

“........ Wen Jue had said that this medicine business was a deal, but the child didn't think that relying on Wen Fu alone would be able to feed all the manpower of our dart shop. Ping Sihai helplessly glanced at Ping Shiyuan, who was looking down at his feet. Sure enough, the woman was extroverted, although she shouted that guy and that guy, but it was still to explain to the bastard.

"That's reassuring." Ping Wuhu said with a smile.

"Huh?" Ping Sihai was surprised.

Ping Wuhu said with a smile: "You don't know, Wen Jue has opened a new pharmacy called Derentang, which aims to see a doctor for free and sell medicine at a low price. For this alone, there are more than 400,000 people in Beijing, and the daily consumption of medicinal materials will not be less than 3,000 catties. That is to say, according to the current capacity of our dart industry, we need to transport medicinal materials from Luzhong to Beijing every day to meet their needs.

Moreover, in this pharmacy, almost all the nobles with heads and faces in the capital are involved, which means that as long as you are in the name of transporting medicinal materials for Derentang, the local governments at all levels will never dare to reach out to them to ask for taxes. ”

"So, do you really need three thousand men?" Ping Sihai was surprised.

When Wen Qihang said this number, he thought that Wen Qihang was just exaggerating. Now it seems that this is entirely possible!

Medicinal materials are not like other goods, because they are basically herbs, and if it is three thousand catties of stone, it is a matter of ox carts. But medicinal materials, it is different, some medicinal materials are afraid of moisture, some medicinal materials are afraid of pressure, some medicinal materials are still limited time, the key is that it is small, but it occupies a large area, the same ox cart, if it is replaced with medicinal materials, at most it will be loaded with a few hundred catties.

Three thousand catties really need more than a dozen ox carts, but some medicinal materials still need to be fresh, must be transported by fast horses, so there must be targeted into fast and slow escort modes. The number of people needed for this will be doubled.

"This is just a family, a kind of goods, a huge Beijing division, no matter what the taxes of the government along the way, there will always be goods that can make money, of course, there are naturally those who do not have to pay taxes because of their privileges."

"Isn't 3,000 men enough?" Ping Sihai frowned.

Ping Wuhu shook his head and said: "Don't want to dictate this trade route, the imperial court will not allow it." ”

"Yes, father." After Ping Sihai responded, he said angrily: "It's just that Wenjue said that if we want to take over his medical business, we must let the sixth sister be a maid for him!" ”

"Oh, that's why you're so resistant?" Ping Wuhu smiled bitterly.

"He's really deceiving people too much, and this is taking advantage of people's danger. The fact that we have come to this point is not all due to him. Ping Sihai said angrily.

"Well, yes, so we can't agree to his request." Ping Wuhu nodded.

"Is what my father said true?" Ping Sihai said with great joy.

Ping Shiyuan hurriedly waved her hand and said, "........ It's okay, father, the child won't suffer, please focus on the overall situation. ”

"........" Ping Wuhuhu glanced at Ping Shiyuan playfully, but when he saw that Ping Shiyuan's pretty face was covered with redness, he couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "It's all for my father's negligence!" In order to revitalize the dart line, the father doesn't have much time to care about your family affairs, and in a blink of an eye, the girls have grown up. It's time to find a husband.

The female is not staying, and this stay is not good! ”

"Father........" Ping Shiyuan blushed and shook Ping Wuhu's arm and didn't follow the way.

"Haha, don't be shy, men should marry women when they are married, this is human." Ping Wuhu laughed and said, "Is there a young man you like?" Just tell the Father, and the Father will fulfill you! ”

"Children don't want to get married, they have to accompany their father and fourth brother for the rest of their lives." Ping Shiyuan bowed her head.

"Oh, I don't want to marry, but I'm willing to be a maid for others! This is really ........," Ping Wuhu smacked his lips.

"Father........" Ping Shiyuan said with a blushing face.

"Your father and I are not old stubborn, as long as you can be happy, happy, not suffer, whatever you do, my father will support you. It's just a girl, there is something that my father must tell you, there are some bad guys in this world who are very sought-after, so when it's time to shoot, take action, this is the demeanor of our children in the rivers and lakes.

Don't miss it and regret it! ”
