To be honest, the price of 600 Wen in the business car is actually a bit inflated, and it is not necessarily that anyone will really be stupid enough to sit on it when it is really implemented, if this price is really taken as the standard, it is estimated that this carriage is at most a decoration, except for the dozens of top wealthy businessmen, no one will go up at all. Vertices are updated the fastest

Li Chengqian and Li Ke all understood this, so they didn't really plan to set the price so high, the price of 100 miles and 15 wen was actually just right, and some businessmen who were not big or small could accept it.

After all, they can't get along with hundreds or thousands of people for dozens of people, so it will be themselves who will suffer in the end, not those businessmen.

Just imagine, those top wealthy businessmen must still be in the minority, and they don't travel at the same time, on average, one or two people a day is already very good.

Then this is equivalent to the fact that the business car from Chang'an to Luoyang is only 1,200 Wen at most, and those ordinary businessmen will choose the ordinary car because of the high price.

And turn your head and look at it again, if the price of the business car is 100 miles and 15 Wen, and the maximum from Chang'an to Luoyang is 100 Wen, then ordinary businessmen will also choose the business car, even if there are more than 10 people on a trip, then you can also carry the price, if there are more people, the income will be more.

So after Li Ke simply showed off this matter to Li Chengqian, he put away his ridiculous smile and said: "Brother, that's all there is to it in terms of passenger transportation, after all, there are not many people in Datang who can spend more than ten dollars to take a train." But in terms of freight, I'm afraid we're really going to get rich. ”

"What? Did the merchants agree to the price you said? Li Chengqian asked in some surprise.

"Yes, and happily." Li Ke was obviously still in an excited mood, pulled the chair under his buttocks, and came to Li Chengqian's side and squeezed his eyebrows and said: "Brother Chen, I have done a business, I know how much consumption will be on the road, when I used the army to transport beef jerky and wool, the average per catty was more than a hundred miles, not to mention those merchants. ”

"It's good that you can calculate it clearly, and you'd better tell your father the next time you go to Luoyang." Li Chengqian looked at the excited and somewhat forgetful Li Ke, and had to remind him.

A penny seems to be a little small, but the weight is huge, the distance from Chang'an to Luoyang is six hundred miles, that is to say, each catty of goods will pay the price of six cents, if the transportation of 10,000 catties is 60 catties, not to mention that the train is not only 10,000 catties, but I am afraid that 100,000 catties are less.

That is to say, there is at least 600 yuan of income from Chang'an to Luoyang or from Luoyang to Chang'an, although some hired workers need to be removed here to load and unload goods, but in any case, it will not cost 10 yuan.

A trip of 600 guan, a round trip is 1,200 guan, and two trains a day and two round trips are 2,400 guan.

Two thousand four hundred guan a day, three hundred and sixty-five days a year, that is close to nine hundred thousand guan.

This is only from Chang'an to Luoyang, and in the future, as the railway is built longer and longer, the distance will become farther and farther .......

Li Ke can't imagine how much income there will be, I'm afraid it's possible to have 10,000 or 100,000 yuan a day.

"Hey, what are you thinking, saliva is flowing out, it's disgusting." Li Chengqian really couldn't stand the distracted performance of Li Ke's dementia, so he had to wake him up.

"Uh......, brother, we're really rich! I'll tell you, I'm ......" Li Ke, who was woken up, was about to say what he thought, but was immediately interrupted by Li Chengqian: "You'd better not dream, an egg's belongings are not reliable, be realistic!" ”

Li Ke didn't understand what an egg's belongings were, and looked at Li Chengqian in confusion.

Regarding Li Ke's curiosity, Li Chengqian cleared his throat and told him a story.

It is said that a long time ago, a poor couple was walking on the way home, and the husband saw a wild egg on the side of the road, and immediately went over to pick it up.

On the way home, the husband held the wild egg in his hand and muttered to his wife, "Wife, we can hatch this egg when we go back, and then we will have a chicken, and when the chicken grows up after half a year, it can lay eggs." Even if we only lay a hundred eggs, then we have a hundred chickens. ”

"And we will raise these 100 chickens for more than half a year, and each one will lay 100 eggs, and we will have 10,000 chickens, and we will have 10,000 chickens ...... wait for two years, and then we will sell the chickens, and then we will have money."

"When we have money, I can build many, many houses, have many children, and I will marry a few beautiful little wives......"

"Bang" The wife who originally listened to it with relish was full of fantasies, but when she heard her husband inadvertently say that she wanted to marry a little wife, she was immediately furious and slapped him on the arm.

The husband, who was daydreaming, was startled by his wife's slap, and his hands trembled, and the wild egg rolled out of his hand and fell to the ground before the couple could react.

……

Li Ke looked at Li Chengqian dumbfounded, and was speechless for a while.

Li Chengqian glared at Li Ke hatefully: "What are you looking at me for?" Isn't it? You just want to get rich, but have you thought about it, is there so much that Chang'an can ship out? It takes more than 100,000 catties of goods to fill the entire train, do you think Chang'an really has so many things to transport to Luoyang? Or maybe there are so many things in Luoyang that are shipped to Chang'an? ”

Li Ke was silent, and suddenly felt that everything was so unreal, and the pain caused by the instant disillusionment of Rijin Doujin's dream made Li Xiaosan almost miserable.

"Okay, you can go back and make statistics on this matter, see how many merchants are willing to use the railway to transport goods, and then calculate by the way how much they transport goods and how many transportation cycles there are, and then you can explain it to your father after you figure it out."

"But, if you do what you say, we don't seem to make much money." Li Ke, who likes to enjoy the pleasure of making money, was woken up by a word and said with a bitter face.

Looking at Li Ke's sad face, Li Chengqian cheered him up and said: "It's not that the Tao can't make much money, the main thing is that the mileage of the railway is too short now, if the railway can be paved with Datang, it won't be such a little money at that time." ”

"When is that going to be?" Li Ke complained like a complaint.

"It's up to you, anyway, you're now in charge, and it's up to you to decide which direction the railway will go next and how it progresses." Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows and said with a wicked smile.
