Chapter 197: New Car

Zhang Han likes to eat river fish and seafood, summer is the time when these living creatures are the most, coming down from the grassland, Zhang Han said that this summer will never eat beef and mutton again.

When Yang Liu spoke, Zhang Han held his cheeks and looked at it, Yang Liu's figure is very good, her chest is not very big, but her chest and shape are very good-looking, very straight, her waist is very thin, she has the feeling of a slender grip, her legs are also very long, and her legs are also very good...... Zhang Han felt that he wanted to commit a crime.

Yang Liu felt that her heart was beating hard, she felt Zhang Han's gaze, she was bent on what to do with Zhang Han before, but now she was very nervous.

Fortunately, it was broad daylight, people came and went outside the house, Zhang Han had no thoughts, and ate vegetables honestly, the staple food was japonica rice, and the taste of rice was also very fragrant.

At this time, Yang Liu held her cheeks and watched Zhang Han eat, and her face was a feeling of happiness that could not be concealed.

"By the way......" Zhang Han looked at Yang Liu and said with a smile: "I have something to ask you." ”

"Huh?" Yang Liumei looked at Zhang Han, full of doubts.

"That lotus, is there anyone in the picture?" Zhang Han told yesterday's events with a smile, and he said: "She is very bold, but I guess she is someone next to me in the picture, otherwise I wouldn't dare to say that." ”

"Yes." Yang Liu smiled and said something about the lotus flower, and finally said: "I think she fell in love with Liang Xing next to you." ”

"Liang Xing really didn't get married, and he couldn't get high or low." Zhang Han smiled: "This is a good marriage. ”

Yang Liu said: "If you, the proprietor, do things for them, I'm afraid that Liang Xing will be more attentive." ”

Her words reminded Zhang Han that many of his subordinates have not yet started a family, so if they use marriage to get together...... It's a great idea.

During the trip to Liaodong, Zhang Han's deepest feeling was that whether it was the Jurchens, the Mongols, or the generals of Liaodong and Liaoxi, their best alliance was to marry each other, Zhang Han certainly did not have a daughter or granddaughter to marry a powerful subordinate, but it did not prevent him from starting from this point and making use of this matter as much as possible.

Zhang Han couldn't help but kiss Yang Liu's face and said with a smile: "Good virtuous helper." ”

His lips fell, and Zhang Han felt the unique aroma of a girl and the smoothness of her skin.

"Don't talk nonsense, I see you're full."

Yang Liu glared at Zhang Han, put away the dishes and chopsticks, and walked away.

……

Two days later, Zhang Han received news that Sun Jingting was delayed and would not arrive in two days, Li Shenming came directly from Datong, calculated the time, and could arrive at Yanghe Acropolis that day.

Zhang Han is going to see Zheng Guochang, his relationship with Zheng Guochang is very close, much deeper than the ordinary relationship bought with silver, but he doesn't move around for a long time, even if there is a relationship, it is shallow, this time back, Ma Chengen and Zheng Guochang have to meet, since Li Shenming is halfway through, Zhang Han sent someone to rush with light horses first, along the avenue to catch Li Shenming, he rushed to Yanghe Acropolis with the guards, saw Zheng Guochang, and met Li Shenming at the same time.

As soon as he came back, he was about to go out, and Chang was very reluctant to send it all the way to the gate.

Chang Ning's wonderful eyes also stared at Zhang Han, and the girl's mind was already very obvious.

Zhang Han felt a little ashamed, he was first attracted to Chang Ning, and then he was very close to Chang Ning in the dark room, but he made a promise to Yu Niang on the grassland, and he felt like a mess in his heart.

"Cousin, come back early, be careful all the way."

Chang Ning Yin advised, her voice was also very good.

"Sister Ning, don't worry." Zhang Han couldn't help but take a closer look at Chang Ning, and watched a touch of blush gradually appear under the fair and delicate skin on her delicate melon seed face, and then he turned his face away.

Chang Shi saw all this in his eyes, and a knowing smile appeared on his face.

Fortunately, Chang Ning has a confused father, otherwise Chang Ning would have been taken out to live.

Chang Wei is also clamoring to go together, he is still young, and he is not afraid of running back and forth at all.

Everyone waved goodbye, Zhang Han and his party quickly disappeared at the mouth of the alley, and more than a dozen horses became small black spots in everyone's eyes.

……

There are a lot of people coming and going on the official road in summer, many people take advantage of the early cool to hurry, either to do small business, or to go out to catch up with relatives, Zhang Han also looked at the road when he was in a hurry, and after running for less than an hour, he saw a large team of mules and horses hanging the banner of He Yusheng coming from afar.

Yang Qiu pointed ahead and said, "This is the convoy from Wei County. ”

The official road is from south to north, took a detour and walked to this road from east to west, from here it is one of the eleven large official roads in the north that go straight to Zhangjiakou, the surface is floating soil, the bottom is the rammed earth layer, compacted, but the floating soil layer is very thick, the soil is relatively soft, it may be the reason for more rain in summer, many places feel too soft.

Zhang Han looked at it carefully and said to Chang Wei on the side: "This is the convoy of goods, it should be some soil and groceries, maybe mainly fruits and vegetables." ”

In summer, everything grows, there are many fruits and vegetables, and they are also very popular in the market, and the prices are not cheap, and it is not uncommon to transport agricultural products from Tianchengwei and Wei County to the official market to sell.

There are more than 100 kinds of fruits and vegetables for sale in Zhangjiakou, and the Russian envoy Petrin shouted at that time, these old Maozi also live very hard, and the place where they live is still a wild area, and there is a shortage of fruit and vegetable goods.

In the past, the sale of fruits and vegetables could only be sold in Xinpingbao or a few small forts, because of the inconvenience of transportation, these things are not easy to keep for too long even with ice, and it is not surprising that once there is a thunderstorm on the road and is delayed, a car is not surprising.

And Yusheng's mule and horse shop can solve this kind of trouble, there is a branch every dozens of miles, not to mention the strong trucks, there is also sufficient logistics support, each store has a cellar, can store goods in a short time.

"Actually, we came out late." Yang Qiu said again: "There are many convoys at dawn, and there are so many people who rush to the road while it is cool in the morning." ”

The convoy is getting closer, the body is painted black and probably maintained regularly, and the paint of the body gives off a black sheen that looks like a new car.

And Yusheng's team is like this, whether it is just made or used for more than half a year, the body appearance of each car is almost the same, and it is often painted and some small damage is solved.

This is a kind of image project, it is Zhang Han's special instructions, the more strange and wasteful it seems, and Yusheng's image can be greatly improved, sometimes the word of mouth between the people, as a legendary tone, the effect of communication will be much stronger than deliberate advertising.

This is a very good marketing method, at least and Yusheng's mule and horse shops have no rivals in the whole of Shanxi Province, and some of the original mule and horse shops and porter shops have died, and none of them can continue to operate.

There are some differences in the body of the car, some are square, some are low in the front and high in the rear, and some are oval, the wheels are also high in the back, the weight of the load-bearing axle is also heavy in the back, the front wheels are lower, and the groom sits on the steering axle above the front wheels, where there is a position where people can sit.

On both sides of the body walked some people leading horses or mules, a convoy of more than a dozen large carts, to prepare a considerable number of horses or mules to spare, to follow the car with the craftsman who can repair the car, the road can be broken with spare tools and parts to repair.

"Each cart can hold 20 to 35 stones." Zhang Han looked at the cart and said to Chang Wei: "The small car can be loaded with less, and it can be loaded with 30 stones normally, if it is too small, people can hire ordinary cars, and we will have no competitiveness." ”

And Yusheng's cart is mainly loaded with more, the freight is standardized, the service is good, unlike foreign merchants to do business elsewhere, often have to be careful to meet unruly porters, and even halfway porters turned into robbers, killing people and goods. The risk is high, the fee is high, but it is not good not to hire, there is no risk when going out to do business, but if there is a better choice, the businessman is not stupid.

He Yusheng has monopolized 100% of the transportation industry in Datong Xuanfu and Shanxi, but the initial investment is still continuing, the investment is large, the income is small, and the temporary profits are not yet comparable with the account bureau.

However, Zhang Han believes that in the long run, the income of transportation will not be much lower than that of the account bureau.

Not all merchants and goods need to be protected, and such a few fruit or groceries are not worth two thousand silver, and there is no need to hire a dart master at all, unless there are many horse thieves or bandits and bandits, and it is particularly unsafe.

"If it is the goods of the account office, a small flag will be planted, and there will be a sentry out early to sentry, and it will not be just on the road, in the fields, in the surrounding villages, in the woods, will be seen." Yang Qiu said to Zhang Han: "Our account bureau has become more and more experienced, and the big households are becoming more and more assured. ”

"Good." Zhang Han began to greet the coachmen and porters with a smile, and the few people who led the team here were all old people, who recognized Zhang Han, and shouted excitedly when they saw their owners.

In the shouting, all the coachmen and porters ran over, and the deputy shopkeeper of a branch of the escort team also ran, this person was a man in the mule and horse shop, and after the rapid expansion of the manpower, the big man who has been trained for more than half a year can become the deputy shopkeeper or shopkeeper.

"Hello proprietor!"

This young man named Yao Fuxian was not stage frightened, and shouted loudly.

"Okay, you guys keep going." Zhang Han spoke first, and then said, "What about these cars?" ”

"The new cars are getting better and better." Yao Fu said first: "Three or four thousand catties, such an official road is very easy. The largest A-number car, the heaviest 6,000 to 7,000 catties, can only take the official road, the trail does not dare to go, in case it falls or crooked, it is very troublesome. In the past, the car often broke down, but now after walking all the way for three or four hundred miles, it is almost impossible to repair the car, and the villain feels that there is no need to follow the repairer with the team for a short distance of three hundred miles. ”

There were many problems when the four-wheeled carriage was first made, mainly because it was a product of the times, and the four-wheeled carriage technology in Europe had long been mature in the same period, even the old Maozi who was looked down upon by the countries of Western Europe was also good at using the carriage, from the eastern part of Russia to Central Asia, and then to East Asia, the journey was not thousands of miles, those Cossacks and exiled people were the four-wheeled carriages along the way to supply, how could they have any good roads to go, not the same bad roads?

Because there are many problems, I can only ask the master to walk with the car and repair it at any time, Zhang Han can often see the car broken down on the road before he arrives in Liaodong, and Yusheng's car was like a joke in the mouths of many people at that time, and now it is estimated that they can't laugh -

Today, the two chapters are updated together, and there is one more chapter below.
