Chapter 242: The Post Station
Chapter 242 Post Station
Andy Gabriel was overjoyed when he heard Wan Qianyang's words,
"Really? My benefactor, are you really the Savior sent by God to save me? After listening to Wan Qiyang's words, Andy's eyes lit up, because he couldn't find a translator, which meant that this investigation to open up new business opportunities would fail, and it would also bring huge losses to the company. But now that he has the help of Wan Qiyang Gongzi, now he can be said to have come back to life, not only did Wan Qian save their lives the most, but also saved his life, what an incredible thing! In his heart, he had put Wan Qiyang in an absolutely very important position.
"I am, it's just fireworks of different colors, Mr. Andy, don't be obsessed with brother, brother is just a legend! Hahaha, Mr. Andy, what do you think of the poems I wrote? Wan Qiyang casually said two famous sayings from later generations, just joking.
"Wow! Sir, it's amazing, I didn't expect you to be able to write poetry. You are really very knowledgeable, I wonder how this country can teach such a good talent as you! Andy was very puzzled, looking at the conservative and uncivilized social environment everywhere, but there were such high-energy and high-moral talents.
"Andy, why don't I just call you Andy in the future? I actually have an English name too, my name is sniper, and you'll know what that means later! Wan Qiyang also bought a pass, but since he said that his English name is sniper, Andy also wrote it down.
As a military fan, I have a deep love for the sniper profession, especially those special forces, who are full of treasures. Wan Qiyang also has such a positioning for himself, and he also needs to hit with one blow to do things, and strive not to miss.
"It's really great, Mr. called me Andy after that, I think it's kinder, we're good friends now, aren't we, mrsniper!" Andy then said that he would write back to the company now and ask the company to deliver the agricultural products, but after Andy said this, he did not leave, but looked a little helpless.
"Oh!" Wan Qiyang also reacted, "It turns out that Mr. Andy is inconvenient, so let's do it, Andy, you write the letter first, and I will send someone to send it to the post office for you, how about it?" Please wait a moment and let the guy find me a goose feather. ”
Wan Qiyang called the guy and asked the guy to ask the kitchen, but there were only chicken feathers and no goose feathers, and there was only a general, and foreigners would definitely not use a brush, Wan Qiyang thought of this idea, and it would be much more convenient to use chicken feathers instead of pens to write.
After the letter was written, Wan Qiyang sent it to the post office, in fact, the post office in this era is also called the post post and also called the letter bureau, from the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty began to appear the letter bureau, to the Qing Dynasty has been very developed, there are about thousands of business and people in the country, the early Republic of China was replaced by the modern post. In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, a civil postal agency called "Maxiang Covenant" appeared in the southwest region. At that time, many people from other provinces emigrated to Sichuan Province, which is vast and sparsely populated, and the land is fertile, especially in Xiaogan, Hubei Province, where the most people are the most, although they settle in Sichuan, they still miss their relatives in their hometowns, so they hold regular meetings every year, and elect representatives, return to their hometowns to visit relatives, and also help fellow villagers to carry letters and packages. As a result, people simply set up a trading house called "Maxiang Covenant", which was responsible for delivering parcels and letters for people, and concurrently transporting goods. In the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, a professional civil postal agency appeared in the people-Minxin Bureau. The emergence of the Minxin Bureau is the inevitable result of the increasing development of non-governmental trade and non-governmental exchanges. The Minxin Bureau first appeared in the famous port city of Ningbo. It has developed industry and commerce, and is an important town for land and water transportation, and many local people go out to do business and become officials. At that time, people in Ningbo and Shaoxing were all over the country, and the correspondence between them was very frequent, but it was very inconvenient for the trustee to be transferred, and it took a long time for a letter to reach the recipient. In this context, the Civil Information Bureau was born. Due to the needs of the situation, the Civil Information Bureau has developed rapidly. Soon, many domestic and people's letter bureaus were established in various parts of the country, especially in large cities and some coastal ports. These bureaus generally have a certain jurisdiction, and long-distance mail often requires the cooperation of several civil letter bureaus in order to deliver the mail to its destination. At that time, the Civil Information Bureau had a wide range of operations, not only to deliver letters, parcels, but also to exchange money, and even to consign some large items.
Andy left the quill pen after writing the letter, he said that it was for the two Italians, of course, Wan Qiyang was prepared for him, so he didn't say anything, and then waited for a reply here in Zhenjiang, as long as the letter was delivered, not only should there be a letter back, but also should be sent by their people to send someone to send it at the same time There should also be those agricultural products, so Wan Qiyang thinks that this must wait, if the ones he wants can be sent back to Sichuan in their entirety, then he can go directly to Nanchang, Jiangxi, By the way, he ran Jingdezhen again to put Andy's business on the right track, and then he was ready to go to England with Andy, because Wan Qiyang was preparing to start storing his own capital in Britain and advance the British Industrial Revolution, if it was under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention the Industrial Revolution, it would be difficult to smelt real iron. Especially some secret agencies have not been abolished until Wei Zhongxian's death, if they are accused of rebellion, it will be the most unfortunate thing. Wan Qiyang can't gamble, so he would rather go to other countries to develop by himself, and then bring his cross-era products, including weapons, and then grab back everything that belongs to him.
Wan Qianyang and also gave Andy some pocket money, but this kind of attitude, so that Andy, the British gentleman, deeply felt how good Mr. Wan Qianyang's character is, Andy is also a low-level struggle, now in the middle social class, he pays great attention to his own behavior, try to maintain a gentlemanly demeanor, and he in trouble to help him in the dire situation, but believe in his promise, and has been giving him help, in life, is selfless to help him at work, Andy Gabriel has reached 100% trust in Wan Qiyang, imagine that he has nothing now, and in this case he can pay a huge amount of money to save him, isn't such a person trustworthy? Therefore, in the letter, he wrote to the company's branch in Ningbo, and solemnly indicated that the agricultural products on the sea ships still staying in Ningbo port would be loaded separately, and they would be shipped directly from Ningbo, then through Hangzhou, and then transported from the lower reaches of the Yangtze River to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River through the canal, and finally arrived in Sichuan.
It was completely in accordance with Wan Qianyang's previous instructions, and at the same time, Wan Qiyang also made detailed arrangements, according to the purpose and function of the trip, they were written in letters one by one, and sent them to Cheng Daren, who was still on the way to take office as governor of Sichuan at this time, according to this speed, the letter should arrive no later than Cheng Daren A few days, of course, Wan Qianyang has two preparations. The first is that there is a reminder in the letter, and the second is that several of Song Changqing's brothers were sent to follow the ship, and when they arrive at the destination, they can join Zhao Long and their brothers, so even if he is not there, he doesn't have to worry about this year's sowing, because Wan Qiyang has already introduced and explained the details of how to cultivate if sowing, and other details are not Wan Qiyang's worries.
Wan Qiyang carefully calculated the time when he left Beijing City, it was about twenty-one and twelve days, and then compared the time when Cheng Daren left Beijing City, and finally he could only have an approximate time to calculate how much time they still had to go to Sichuan, so Wan Qiyang only needed to confirm the location and time, otherwise, according to the current traffic and communication conditions, if he wanted to strictly implement his plan, how could the efficiency be improved to the level he wanted to achieve?
So Wan Qianyang thought of starting an industrial revolution for himself, so that he could bring light and convenience to himself, and then there would be no Edison and Watt. I don't know if the unit names of some formulas have to be changed.
