869 Commenced operation
Liu Yuan said with a smile: "Let them form a patrol team to inspect, specifically to catch those who want to use our Changluo Expressway without spending money, the younger generation has begun to print a batch of special riding tickets, which have anti-counterfeiting secret marks, only their own people can know the road, and will also change the ticket sample from time to time, their job is to see suspicious people on the highway, they will randomly check their passes, to see if they are the regular entrance to enter, the work is easy." ”
"In addition, we will also erect warning signs and formulate regulations on Changluo Expressway, if they are caught, their mounts and rides will be confiscated, and if there are goods, half of them will be confiscated, and other fines will be added, and half of the confiscated goods and fines will be given to law enforcement personnel, which will be regarded as dividends."
This dividend is really a lot, if you meet a rich owner, it is estimated that a sum is enough.
Cui Jing was a little strange and said: "Virtuous son-in-law, this kind of thing is just a hand-to-hand skill, and many people can do it, but you want to find a child of a family?" ”
"It's very simple, when ordinary people see officials or big people, they either become submissive one by one and dare not start, or they have no sense of proportion and make bad things, but the children of the family have this look and courage, which saves a lot of trouble."
It turned out that this was the case, Cui Jing and Cheng Old Demon King nodded and expressed understanding.
Liu Yuan continued: "Okay, father-in-law, Uncle Cheng, you can send people to the headquarters of Changluo Expressway as soon as possible, I will personally train them, teach them some ticket inspection skills and some precautions, according to the agreement just now, a family of up to six people, first come first first train, time waits for no one, at the latest June 1st will be officially opened." ”
"Good. I old Cheng Zhilu said. ”
"Fortunately, the Cui family organized them to travel together, I heard that they have arrived in Puzhou, the personnel are not a problem, I will send them to you then." Cui Jing said with a smile.
Liu Yuan said happily: "That's great, the work of Changluo Expressway is like this for the time being, we are charging fees, and we are slowly building it, these days are all training, as long as those tickets are printed once they are printed." We'll be able to collect the cash right away. ”
When Cheng Lao Demon King and Cui Jing heard this, their eyes began to glow
Over the next few days, Liu Yuan focused on training the people he had recruited to understand what he was doing this for. Teach them what they should and should not do, how to deal with emergencies, and so on. Arguably. The work is done very meticulously.
On the first day of June, early in the morning, the entrance of Changluo Expressway was already crowded, after several months of fermentation and publicity, it finally came to the official opening day, and many people wanted to come and see it. Look at the legendary high speed, and how fast it is.
Everyone was in the queue, although they didn't see anyone selling tickets, but in a conspicuous place at its entrance. There is a huge wooden sign erected, and a line on it reads the words Douda: Changluo Expressway Management Regulations:
1. Pedestrians are not allowed to go on Changluo Expressway,
2. After entering the highway, you can not stay on the road, if you need to repair, you can go to the rest area, and the offender will be fined 200 yuan.
3. Left up and right down, can not drive in the opposite direction, violators will be fined 300 Wen,
Fourth, pay attention to cleanliness, the feces of its mounts, it is best to be able to load it by itself, and dispose of it by itself, and those who bring feces will return five cents to the exit.
5. Please keep your charging voucher for random inspection at any time
10. The uniform price of each carriage on the highway is 100 Wen, and the single ride only costs 50 Wen, and each horse is charged an additional 5 Wen cleaning fee.
Note: In addition to fare evasion, other fines will not be implemented for the time being, and after a half-month transition period, they will be officially implemented from June 15.
"What, it's only a hundred?" A businessman-like man in the crowd said in surprise: "Don't you say that it costs 500 Wen, or even more?" ”
"Yes, I've heard someone say they want a tael of silver."
"One hundred Wen, in the reverse house of the official road, even if you live in the worst room, you have to pay this price."
"It's cheap, it's too cheap, those people still want to spread rumors"
"Don't you know? The investment in this highway is a joint venture built by General Yangwei Liu Yuan and several important ministers of the DPRK and China, a conscience project, a hundred wen, it is really as good as the newspaper said, then this hundred wen, it is really worth it. ”
Some people also questioned: "This hundred wen is not expensive, but the cleaning fee of five wen is a bit puzzling." ”
Someone immediately retorted: "If the road is full of, like the official road, would you be happy?" People didn't mean to take you, didn't you see what it said, you can use the horse's feces to go to the exit and return the five cents, in the end, you just need to tie a cloth bag behind the horse's buttocks. ”
"Makes sense, too."
"You see, from the entrance, the road is straight and flat, and there are flowers and plants on both sides, which is really beautiful."
"Yes, yes, I wanted to say it just now."
Everyone was talking in front of the entrance, and many people were waiting for the auspicious time, and as soon as the auspicious time arrived, the Changluo Expressway officially began to operate.
Not long after, suddenly walked out of a person holding a gong, holding a gong in his hand and striking it vigorously, attracting everyone's attention, he opened his throat and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, you are welcome to choose Changluo Expressway, as long as you have experienced, you will definitely feel that it is worth it, and there is still a quarter of an hour, the auspicious time will arrive, because it is the first day of operation, the first 100 can be discounted at half price, and the first 300 can get a copy of the latest Chang'an newspaper for free, first come, first served, outdated and not waiting." ”
There is a discount for the toll fee of 100 Wen?
As soon as the voice of the subordinate fell, the crowd of horses and horses was in a commotion, one by one either driving horses or riding cars, just a moment of gonggong, and suddenly a long queue of several hundred meters was formed, and some officials also helped to help manage the order.
Not long after, some people wearing uniform uniforms, the clothes uniformly printed with the words "Changluo Expressway" walked towards themselves, at a glance they knew that they were the staff of Changluo Expressway, those uniforms, at a glance, made people feel very professional, there was a sense of trust.
Zhu Changgui was a businessman, engaged in silk trading, had a branch in Luozhou, and often had to shuttle between the two places, in his words, a few horse-drawn carriages a year, although he was well managed, and made a lot of money. Long-term pampering, his stomach is like his waist bag, more and more bulging, the bad road conditions of the official road, let him miserable, now when he heard that it is more convenient and more comfortable to open and fall Changluo Expressway, he came to cheer for the first time.
"Guest officer, yours is a carriage, you need to pay 100 wen, and there are four behind you. Is it your personal guard? The uniformed staff member asked politely, and didn't give him a roll of the eye just because he was a businessman.
These people are all working for generals, national princes, and captains, these are all masters. didn't expect to be so polite, but it made Zhu Changgui feel flattered.
"Yes. Be. They are all my personal guards, and the money and silver are counted together. ”
"It's good, the carriage is 100 wen, the four horses are 200 wen, and each horse is charged 5 wen cleaning fee, which adds up to 325 wen. However, for your first 100 customers, the toll fee can be halved for only 175 cents, forgot to mention. The cleaning fee is not discounted, may I have a question? ”
It's only more than 100 yuan, and on weekdays, Zhu Changgui just orders a better dish, and it's not just this little money, Wen Yan took out two coins of broken silver and asked, "Is it okay to fight for pieces?" ”
"Of course you can, gold, silver and copper coins are fine."
Zhu Changgui handed the broken silver in his hand to the clerk and said boldly: "There is no need to look for the two coins of silver here." ”
For other guys, he smiled and thanked the reward early in the morning, but the clerk said with a smile: "Objectively, according to the regulations, we can't collect any rewards from guests, but thank you for your kindness, if you think these copper coins are inconvenient to carry, there is a donation box next to it, put the money in it, every once in a while, we will open it together with the master of the Great Compassion Temple, take out the money in it, and use it for saving lives and helping the wounded." ”
Yo, this staff, the quality is quite good, thoughtful service, not greedy or angry, always with a smile on his face, at a glance it gives people a warm and ambiguous feeling, Zhu Changgui thinks, this money is too well spent, there are a lot of queues behind, and I don't dare to slack off when I hear it, in addition to the twenty-five Wen for change, I also took out a five-tael silver ingot and threw it into the donation box, which is considered to be doing something good and accumulating some yin virtue.
As soon as Zhu Changgui led people through the checkpoint, he came out in front of him, and there was a straight and flat road, he waved his big hand, and the coachman flicked his whip, and soon, the carriage ran forward, the road was very flat, and Zhu Changgui, who was sitting on the leather cushion, felt very comfortable, and this more than 100 Wen was too well spent.
By the way, the quality of these staff is really good, and after I go back, I have to train my men well, but it's too far away
Zhu Changgui is just one of the many people who choose Changluo Expressway, and he is still one of the lucky ones, because he is in the front of the queue and has a knotted deduction, however, because a hundred is really not much, and the service is so thoughtful, the Changluo Expressway has so many advantages, and it has become extremely generous to pay money one by one.
Changluo high-speed staff with a piece of beautifully printed pass, in exchange for a piece of copper coins, pieces of broken silver, this hundred dozens of Wen does not seem much, but the decimal is afraid of the long count, slowly accumulated, it is very considerable, a person is a hundred, ten people is one tael, a hundred people is ten taels, a thousand people is one hundred taels, in Chang'an City outside the entrance waiting for the high belt of people, not to mention two or three thousand people, ten entrances at the same time work, the speed is not slow.
The people who paid the toll were very happy, because they would slowly find that the money was spent very well, fast and good, and they didn't have to suffer the "knife" along the way, and they ran on the road for the first time in such good conditions, not afraid of blockage, no bumps and no dust, and there were many beautiful scenery along the way, which was really worth it.
Tourists are happy, and in a temporary bamboo house next to the entrance and exit of Changluo Expressway, Liu Yuan, Cui Jing, Changsun Wuji, Cheng Lao Demon King, etc., gather around to eat and drink and have fun, from time to time pick up a glass of wine and walk to the window, watching the guests pay money on the road, the heart is like drinking honey as sweet, this feeling of sitting and collecting cash, it is really wonderful, especially to see that the basket is full of copper coins and broken silver, need to be carried away for a new basket, that feeling, it is really wonderful.
"Yes, yes, although the investment is huge, but the income is still very considerable, especially after the completion, it almost does not cost much, drought and flood to ensure income, day and night, regardless of sunny days and rainy days, rare, rare" Li Jing couldn't help but praise again: "Liu Yuan, you are indeed a genius." ”
Old Demon King Cheng touched Liu Yuan's head, and said with a smile: "You kid, how does this brain grow, so smart, I really want to open it and see what is the difference between your brain and other people's." ”
Liu Yuan said with a wry smile: "Don't, Uncle Cheng, the little nephew also carries a head on two shoulders, nothing special, I hung up as soon as I opened it, in fact, it is no different, but I think a little more than don't like it." After speaking, Liu Yuan smiled again and said: "However, seeing that the response is good now, the little nephew is also relieved, if he doesn't do well, the little nephew will really become a sinner." ”
Obviously, this is just Liu Yuan's modest words, in the later generations, I have never heard of anyone investing in highways to lose money, unless it is those non-profit, strategically needed highways, not to mention that Liu Yuan suddenly picked the most prosperous official road in Datang, collected enough information early, and also prepared the budget and backup expenses, from the beginning of the construction of Changluo Expressway, one of Liu Yuan's hands has reached into a big gold mountain.
Qin Qiong said with a smile: "That's it, you have done well enough, no one knows what will happen in the next moment, who dares to guarantee that you will only make money and not lose money in trading?" Even if you really lose, Qin will never make fun of you. ”
Liu Yuan hurriedly thanked: "Yes, General Xie Qin." ”
"Ah, a hundred people" Niu Jinda, who was standing at the window, suddenly shouted loudly: "You see, it's only about two quarters of an hour, and the No. 1 pass has already passed a hundred people, a pass has a hundred people, and there are ten entrances here, so it's a thousand people, and one person has a hundred Wen, so it's a mouthful, isn't it a hundred taels into a pocket?" This speed is too fast, you see, the queue ready to get on the high-speed team, can not see the end, there are people coming behind, we Changluo Expressway, starting point in Chang'an, ending in Luozhou, the middle of the two entrances and exits, are located near Puzhou, if each entrance is so good business, then we can count the silver a day to count the hand cramps. ”
Speaking of the back, Niu Jinda's eyes were a little hot.
This is not to blame him, because he is not good at communication and management, the house is quite a little tight, otherwise, he will not be willing to give up half of the share, this is a loss to grandma's family.
Everyone nodded thoughtfully, this Changluo Expressway is simply a money shaker, right.
The eldest grandson Wuji nodded and said: "It's not bad, relying on the most prosperous section of Datang, as long as you work together, you will definitely succeed." ”
Liu Yuan said happily: "Uncles, the little nephew booked a table in Zuixian Building, and we will taste it slowly for a while, while waiting for the people of Changluo Expressway to send the accounts, we can immediately share the performance of Changluo Expressway." (To be continued......)
