A group of wealthy businessmen originally traveled for the purpose of curiosity, but after verifying that the train could indeed arrive in Luoyang in three hours, everyone's minds were lively. Vertices are updated the fastest

"Ahem!" Li Ke saw the rich businessmen talking to each other one by one, and felt a little unhappy in his heart, and coughed before saying: "If you want to discuss, this king will give you time in a while, even if there is anything you are not satisfied with, I will let you mention it, but now, ...... You'd better hear what this king says. ”

The voice of these words was not loud, but it was like a thunderbolt in the ears of rich businessmen, making them realize that although the person in front of them was not famous, he was also a prince in the end, and his other abilities might be worse, but he still had the ability to kill them and ruin their families.

Thinking of this, the rich businessmen's faces changed, and they all sat up straight, looking at Li Ke intently, just like students in the school who were listening to Mr. explain the problem.

Li Ke saw that everyone was seated, and smiled faintly: "I believe that you should be most concerned about the price of freight, right?" ”

No one below spoke, and they didn't dare to speak, and with Li Ke's slightly displeased warning just now, these guys had recovered from their excitement and understood the gap in their status with the person in front of them.

"Every pound of goods, every hundred miles, a penny." Li Ke stretched out a finger and compared it back and forth, and after a while, asked, "Do you think this price is reasonable?" ”

"Reasonable, very reasonable." A group of people nodded continuously.

In their opinion, the price could not be more reasonable.

After all, if they are to transport these things themselves, it is an incredible thing if they can control the freight at 100 miles and 5 Wen, and if they can control it at 100 miles and 3 Wen, they are almost a genius businessman, as for one article...... That's unthinkable.

In fact, if you think about it, we can know that in ancient times, there were no large-scale means of transportation, and horse-drawn carriages or ox-carts were already the top equipment.

How much can a carriage carry? About 500 catties are already up to the sky.

After all, the vehicle is not smooth after the road, many times it is still necessary to go uphill, and the goods are loaded with more horses and cannot be pulled, and there will be a phenomenon of small horses and carts.

And the horse pulls five hundred pounds of things, you can't expect it to be able to run like flying? Moreover, the horses that pull the cart are all horses, and they do not have the physical strength and speed of real war horses.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, the maximum travel of the carriage is about fifty miles a day, plus the driver who drives the carriage and the two men who load the cart, that is to say, it takes two people, a horse and a car to transport 500 catties of things.

Every day, fifty miles and one rest, people and horses eat two meals, plus the cost of accommodation is fifty or sixty yuan.

Isn't it cheap? Even if you travel 100 miles in two days, it is only 100 yuan, which is far from reaching the high price of 100 miles and a penny.

But let's not forget that the horse needs money to buy, and every place where the goods are transported has to pay tolls. What's more, ancient times are not like modern times, the road is peaceful, in the era of the Tang Dynasty, even if the local governance is good, there will be some robbers, and there is no one who can send away the eight hundred yuan? Or when you encounter some ruthless, it is not impossible to even get rid of all the goods with people.

Add these things together and calculate it, how much does it cost to transport 500 catties of things for 100 miles? I'm afraid that five texts are not enough.

So those rich merchants were almost stunned when they heard the freight cost of one penny per catty/hundred miles, and rubbed their ears in disbelief and asked, "Your Highness, Your Highness is not joking, is he?" Is it really a penny a penny? ”

Li Ke looked at those shocked businessmen and seemed to think it was funny, the corners of his mouth unconsciously pulled an arc, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, you heard this right." ”

After receiving the confirmation, the rich businessmen exploded again, and a buzzing discussion instantly sounded among the more than forty people.

However, this time these guys were very measured, they just discussed for a moment and then closed their mouths, got up from their seats in unison, and bowed to Li Ke: "Your Highness is kind, we are grateful." ”

"You don't have to wait like this, this price is not set by this king, but by my royal brother His Royal Highness King Qin, if you want to thank you, you should also thank him." Li Ke received dozens of good guy cards in an instant, and while he was happy, he did not forget to advertise for Li Chengqian and break into his reputation.

The rich businessmen are all very shrewd, and they know the elegance when they hear the songs, and after listening to Li Ke's words, they immediately made a sycophant, and while praising Li Chengqian, they also did not forget to praise His Majesty Li Er.

After all, the current Datang is under the leadership of His Majesty Li Er, even if Lao Li is not involved in this matter, he cannot ignore his merits.

……

The merchant's test ride and test drive were a great success, and after Li Ke obtained countless good person cards, he came to the Qin Wangfu again with two escorts.

"Huh? Why are you here again? Didn't you say you were going to Luoyang today? How did you come back so quickly? Looking at the excited Li Ke, Li Chengqian asked in surprise.

"Isn't this coming back?" Li Ke quickly stepped into Li Chengqian's study, grabbed the cup on the table, and no matter whose it was, he raised his head and poured it into his mouth.

Li Chengqian looked at Li Ke speechlessly, and when he finished drinking, he asked helplessly: "Didn't you go to your father's place to see?" Didn't go ask for a good deal? Just running back and forth so stupidly? ”

"Huh?" was mentioned by Li Chengqian, Li Ke thought about why he always felt that he had forgotten something during the day, and now it seems that he ...... It's embarrassing.

"Don't, you can run again tomorrow, now talk about today's results." Li Chengqian also has no way to take Li Ke, this kid is good at everything, but he can't walk when he sees money.

Of course, you can understand this as Li Ke enjoying the pleasure of making money.

"Brother, speaking of results...... We've made a lot of money this time. You don't believe how much I'll sell you for the Green Car fare. Seeing Li Chengqian asking about the harvest, Li Ke immediately came to his senses, and said with his eyebrows fluttering.

"How much?" Li Chengqian asked quietly.

"A mile and a penny! The ticket price from Chang'an to Luoyang is 600 Wen per person! Li Ke showed a smug smile and raised his eyebrows.

"Holy, are you crazy? Six hundred texts? Li Chengqian's initial price was 100 Wen, but it increased six times in a blink of an eye, which made him a little unacceptable, and felt that this Datang seemed to have too many wrongs.

"Six hundred wen is not set by me, it is set by those businessmen themselves, these guys are more ruthless than one by one in order to show off their wealth!" Li Ke smiled more and more proudly, and in one word, he couldn't see his eyes.
