Chapter 520 Public Transportation
Chapter 520 Public Transport Industry
The emperor's complaint made Liu Mao understand what was going on, it turned out that it was still about disaster relief. (.dkAnkan please remember me) (**:.book028 hand hit)
Indeed, as the emperor said, there are indeed some ordinary people, not to the point of exhaustion, belonging to the kind of situation wandering on the edge of the exhaustion of mountains and rivers, for example, the original family of six people, if they are all nested at home, relying on the harvest of the family, the family is not full, all of them are hungry, but if they are asked to immigrate, they are unwilling, after all, it has not reached the point of exhaustion, after all, immigration is a very difficult thing, uprooted, many people will not take this road until the last resort, this kind of people who are hovering on the verge of bankruptcy, There are really a lot, if one person in the family is divided, only five people live by the original harvest, this day will be better, although it is a natural disaster to reduce production, but it can barely survive, so, there is no need for a family to immigrate, that extra person, naturally can not be abandoned, if you can find a job in the state or county or big city, it is far stronger than immigration, how can you say that you can go back home a year, the family can also reunite, to meet, there is also a place to find, if there is a future in the future, buy a field and buy a property, It's also something that can't be said, or in a few years, the natural disaster will be less serious, and you can go back, which makes you even less want to emigrate.
"Your Majesty's meaning, the minister understands, Your Majesty wants to transport the people who can't support the family to Dacheng through the post delivery, right? It is better to do business or work than to starve at home...... Alas...... this is a difficult road! β¦β¦ Alas, ......, if the people of the world know Your Majesty's hard work, they should cry bitterly, ...... Your Majesty's heart is really a good ......, and Your Majesty is ...... virtuous" Liu Mao made up the emperor's meaning in his own brain, and sighed convincingly.
"Liu Qingjia understands what I mean, and is not afraid to tell Liu Qingjia the truth, recently reported from all over the world, this spring is quite early, so, this year must be a drought year, from the current situation reported up, the scope of the drought is quite wide, several northern provinces are affected, in addition to Shaanxi and Shanxi may be quite serious, many places are the kind of drought, but not to the point of serious or no harvest, that is to say, the reduction of production is inevitable, but there is not as bad as last year's Shaanxi harvest, This year's natural disaster situation is afraid that several places in Shaanxi and Shanxi will not be able to harvest, which is suitable for large migration, while Henan, Shandong, Shuntianfu and other places are reduced production, that is to say, there is a harvest, but it cannot feed the original so many people, and the affected population is quite scattered, and it's not close to people......"
ββ¦β¦ Therefore, I came up with this idea, and with the advantage of the post delivery all over the world, I will use horse-drawn carriages to connect these disaster-stricken states and counties in the north, so that those who have lost production due to the drought, have difficulty surviving, and are unwilling to emigrate, and want to go to the city to do a business or work, can be regarded as a way to live, which can be regarded as the right medicine for the situation of this year's drought......," Yang Gai explained again.
"The minister has been taught...... His Majesty thinks and thinks, the number of ministers is really high, etc., and the minister admires ......" After the emperor said this, Liu Mao suddenly realized, no wonder the emperor was in such a hurry to build a carriage, it turned out that there was such a saying, he was in the matter, and also somewhat understood some of the situation in this regard, indeed as the emperor said, if the early spring, warm spring situation to judge this year's drought, when the emperor said, some places may be out of harvest, more is the kind of drought, but not the end of the harvest, It belongs to the place where the production is reduced, these places, the place is large, but the population affected by the disaster is not much, and it is particularly scattered, if it is according to the previous way of millions of immigrants to the disaster, it is obviously not worth it, the cost is too high, the emperor came up with this method, but it is really the right medicine, the emperor said so, Liu Mao immediately understood why the emperor was in such a hurry to build a carriage, and also equipped the postal post with a carriage, but also to connect the states and counties of the world.
Yang reformed a big flicker, and when he saw Liu Mao talking with a convincing and serious look, he knew that he was almost fooled. Then, for the rest, it's time to do your own thing. ,
"It's good that Liu Qing's family can understand, this is also what I said, the reason why the counties of the world are connected by postal carriages, the larger the city, the more people who can accommodate trading and working to survive, this is also the reason why I said that from the township to the county, to the state, to the prefecture, to the provincial capital, to the capital, the postal carriage, in addition to the mail letters, goods, can also be slightly carried to transport the victims, although it can not be large-scale immigration, but it is better for a long time, suitable for today's scattered disaster relief situation...... Now, just as the official road and postal carriages are weaving another big net for the world on land to help the immigrants, I vow not to give up any of my people, but to keep my oath and find a way for them to survive......
"Woo...... The minister understands, the minister understands His Majesty's hard work, His Majesty tells the minister what to do, and the minister listens to His Majesty's ......" Liu Mao gave the emperor a bold word, and made him cry, while crying, he was also happy in his heart, the emperor set his head of the post station too high, almost on par with Xu Ge Lao, which couldn't help but make people ecstatic! Of course, on the surface, those who should cry still cry.
"Then Liu Qing's family takes a look, this equips the world post with a carriage, and it needs to be connected to the county and county, how many carriages do you need?" Yang asked amusedly.
Liu Mao was angry, only felt that his fingers and toes were not enough, but he didn't dare to show his cowardice in front of the emperor, so he could only calculate hard, the world is so big, who knows how many carriages it will match?
"In the simplest way, just connect the two counties without thinking too much......," Yang Gengai reminded as he looked at Liu Mao, who was anxious and sweating profusely.
ββ¦β¦ Back to Your Majesty, there are more than 1,000 counties in the world, when there are more than 1,000 carriages...... "This time, Liu Mao was sober, and he was reminded by the emperor and immediately calculated it."
ββ¦β¦ More than 300 state capitals, when more than 300 carriages are added, if you count the two capitals and thirteen provinces, border passes, etc., you need to add more, estimate, 400 taels is almost the same, together is 1,400 cars...... "Liu Mao quickly calculated.
Yang Gai nodded with a smile, this guy is not stupid yet.
"Well, if a carriage comes, a carriage goes, it has to be doubled, how much?" Yang Gengai reminded again.
"Back to Your Majesty, it should be two thousand eight hundred ......cars," Liu Mao replied immediately.
"Yes, some state capitals are thoroughfares, and there are even more carriages, and there should be four or five thousand postal carriages...... Yang added.
"Back to Your Majesty, yes, yes, yes......" Liu Mao sweated in shock, this carriage is too much.
"In addition, from the Qing family's point of view, how should this carriage be charged?" Yang asked again.
"Cashier? This ......, back to Your Majesty...... This ...... "Liu Mao has no other way than to sweat."
"The Qing family's post, don't you collect money? Didn't the Qing family say that the business between Beijing and Nanjing was easy to do? Yang asked with a smile.
"Ahh Your Majesty, this ...... "This is also a deal?" This doesn't count, who told those officials that their grades are not enough, and there is nothing major to use seven hundred miles to expedit, then of course he has to collect money.
"I'm saying that this postal carriage, even if it is used for disaster relief, it is impossible to prepare a post carriage system for them at such a high cost for disaster relief, if it is only to transport the victims, how many people can be transported in this year? With such a cost, I might as well use the Great Migration to help me, wouldn't it be better than your postal carriage? Yang Gengai said with a smile.
"This, yes, Your Majesty is right." Liu Mao was stunned by the emperor before, and he wanted to compete with Xu Guangqi, but now he found that he couldn't compare at all, and he began to sweat.
"So, this system, in fact, my idea is the same as the principle of the postal object, in addition to transporting the victims, more, we have to rely on transporting ordinary people to collect some money as a subsidy, otherwise, for the sake of a few scattered victims, I will spend so much, and allocate so many carriages and personnel, isn't it a waste?" Yang Gengai said with a smile.
"Your Majesty is right, reasonable." Liu Mao realized that it turned out that this was also a fee-based business, and it was the same as his mailing object, that is, he changed the mailed object from an object to a person.
"It's good that you understand, postal post, you can't just expect me to blindly subsidize the silver, but you have to find a way to smooth out some of the deficits by yourself, what I mean, do you understand?" Yang asked with a smile. Now this Liu Mao is starting to be depressed.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister understands that this mail carriage, in addition to the mail objects, but also the mail person, in addition to the convenience of the victims, but also to transport ordinary people, otherwise, this mail carriage will not be able to continue, and the disaster victims will not be able to come out, contrary to His Majesty's original intention......" Liu Mao immediately found a set of excuses for himself, and also understood what the emperor meant, that is, to make this mail delivery a deal. As for transporting the victims, that's just incidental. ,
"The Qing family is smart, and I can't help it, the natural disaster is too widespread, and I have to spend less money, so I have to ...... like this" Yang Gai smiled and said, this guy is very sensible.
"Do you know how much it costs to hire a carriage?" Yang asked again.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister knows some, hire a carriage, if you go out of the city, the time is counted as a day, less than one or two hundred wen, more than three or four hundred wen, and some cost one or two silver, it depends on the car, and the coachman is scored...... "Liu Mao was forced by the emperor, and he didn't have time to think about it at all, what to say.
"Oh, one or two hundred a day! That is to say, if a postal carriage can transport ten people at a time, and each person is evenly divided, it only costs one or twenty cents? How far can that carriage go in a day? What is the typical distance between two towns? Yang asked again.
"Back to Your Majesty, it is not a problem for the carriage to go 100 miles a day, but the people on this carriage can't stand it, so they generally have to rest after walking 50 or 60 miles, that is, walking two post stations a day, if it is His Majesty's four-wheeled carriage, it is steady, go faster, and the road is good, it is no problem to walk 150 or 60 miles a day...... Liu Mao hurriedly replied, this is his strength, as an official in charge of post delivery, this is naturally difficult for him.
Yang Reform listened, think it's not bad, if the carriage can fit fifteen people, then the price can be further reduced, if the road is not too far, such as between Jingshi and Tongzhou, I am afraid that as long as three or four Wen can be done, this kind of price, should be competitive, if it is public transportation in the city, I am afraid that as long as a penny can be opened.
"Yes, is this a deal worth it?" Yang Gai said.
Liu Mao looked at the emperor inexplicably.
"Are there many people coming and going between Jingshi and Tongzhou?" Yang asked Gengai.
ββ¦β¦ Back to Your Majesty, this, probably a lot......" Liu Mao thought for a while and replied, Tongzhou is the end of the Grand Canal, and people and things passing through the Grand Canal have to get off the boat in Tongzhou.
"Oh, the Qing family can send someone to squat between Jingshi and Tongzhou for a few days, count how many people there are every day from Jingshi to Tongzhou, write them down, and then estimate how many people are willing to be carriages,......" Yang Reform taught this guy.
"This ......, I don't know what Your Majesty means by this?" Liu Mao asked puzzled.
"Hehehe......" Yang Reform laughed for a while, this guy is still asking this.
"What I said just now, the Qing family obviously didn't listen to it!" Yang Reform pretended to be angry.
"Ahh Panic! Liu Mao was scared half to death, and he didn't listen to the emperor's words, which is quite a serious matter.
"I just said that the world's postal routes, it is impossible to make money on every one, it is good to have a few money-making routes, to make money on the lines to raise those that do not make money, so that the world's postal routes can be smooth, I want a reliable postal system all over the world, the Qing family himself just said, this is between Beijing and Nanjing to make money, so what about the northwest? Do you make money too? Don't you want it if you don't make money? Naturally, it is from these money-making lines to share profits to support those who don't make money, this, the Qing family still doesn't understand? Yang Reform said.
"Ahh β¦β¦ The minister understood, did Your Majesty mean to use the trade of transportation to raise the post delivery all over the world? ...... "As soon as the emperor enlightened him, Liu Mao immediately understood, that is, if he doesn't understand, he must understand."
"Yes, the Qing family is very conscious, this is also the second point I want to say, in addition to the state and county should be connected by postal carriages, in this city, I plan to build a kind of public ......carriage with four-wheeled carriages as a means of transportation," Yang Gai said.
ββ¦β¦ Yes! A public carriage? Town? ......" Liu Mao was stunned, what is this?
"It's like in this capital, if someone wants to go from the east of the city to the west of the city, if they walk, they must have to walk for a long time, it will take too long to delay, and if they hire a carriage, it will cost too much money, and not everyone can afford to buy a carriage, right? This public carriage will also have a place to use, with a very small amount of money, such as a penny, you can ride this public carriage from the east to the west of the city, I think, this will definitely be very attractive, this business, will also be easy to do......" Yang Gai said.
"Ahh This, the minister was frightened, enlightened His Majesty, the minister did not know how to do business, and was afraid of ruining His Majesty's affairs...... "Liu Mao finally understood why the emperor called him here, and when he heard that it was a business, he immediately resigned, how lowly is this official doing business? This is not the same as the post delivery, it is those who are officials begging for themselves.
"What's so hard to understand? Do you know how much money I have to put into the post every year? I can't buy this much-needed carriage for disaster relief? Do I still have to take care of the food of the postmen who transported the victims? The Qing family has been counting on me to produce the silver? Never thought of worrying about me? If this public carriage can make some money, and I can make it easier, disaster relief will not be too difficult, I know that this matter is indeed difficult for some strong people to ......, but since the Qing family is not willing to share my worries, then I will not force it, find someone else to do it......" Yang Gai said angrily. ,
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is willing to share his worries for His Majesty, the minister is willing, I hope Your Majesty will be gracious......" Liu Mao was shocked and sweated, what are you doing? Reject the Emperor? I'm afraid that the emperor can't be it, and in a blink of an eye, the emperor kicked it to that place to rest and cool off, but don't want to see the current scenery again, just do it, isn't that still related to disaster relief? The emperor also said that he would use the money he earned to subsidize the gap in "disaster relief", and he was also saving the people from fire and water, so that he could be regarded as a person who did not hesitate to lose his reputation......
"Okay, it's good if you're willing, I won't say much about the others, the Qing family can plan slowly and step by step, but there are two things, the Qing family must do it immediately, first, the public carriage from Jingshi to Tongzhou must pass immediately, first get him a dozen or so big carriages to try, if the business is good, add more; Second, the public carriage in the Beijing division must also be opened immediately, this Liulizhai is a place where people from all over the world must go to Beijing, and the public carriage should be centered on Liulizhai, I think, this business will definitely be very good. That's it, the Qing family immediately began to do these two things, while doing to sum up experience, and form a system, if you find a way, immediately start to open up new routes, make more money, as for others say you, you say, the world post is a major event to save the victims...... For the victims of disasters in the world, what is it to be wronged? Yang Reform said in a half-forced, half-foolish way.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister understands......" Liu Mao didn't feel good in his heart, and he also knew that he had no capital to refuse, he didn't do it himself, and there were a lot of people who wanted to do it, who didn't want to rely on the God Party now? I just hope that what kind of "disaster relief" can cover up the ugliness.
"Good! The public carriage to Tongzhou, you first ask, how much money does it cost to go to Tongzhou now, relying on the carrying capacity of the new carriage, it should be very advantageous, as for the transportation in the city, it is tentatively set at one penny, one penny, including from the east of the city to the west of the city...... "Yang Reform said again.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister understands......" Liu Mao agreed, but he was muttering in his heart, a penny? How can this make money? Not to die yet? ROοΌ ~οΌ
