Section 607 Buying and selling at a loss [asking for a monthly pass]

When Li Jing and Qin Qiong led a group of bandits to discuss how to make a big deal on Wa Island, Li Yuanxing did not return to Chang'an immediately, but went to the edge of the Jing River again.

Coincidentally, Cui Junsu actually took Gao Baiyang and a few businessmen to prepare to cross the Jinghe Bridge.

At this time, the bridge is closed, and it can only be from north to south, not from south to north.

The width of the bridge is not as wide as the road, which is something that cannot be helped.

Even though Li Chun is a master of bridge repair, it is impossible for him to build a bridge with a width of 30 zhang with stones and a very small amount of cement, so the Jinghe Bridge is also a bottleneck on Li Yuanxing's straight road.

But even if it is a bottleneck, it also adds a huge amount of capacity.

Jinghe Bridge specially arranged an official, as well as a few officials.

The rank of this official is Liuwai, as for which of the nine grades of Liuwai Li Yuanxing does not matter, the rank of Liuwai under the normal nine grades is too low, and the guards beside Li Yuanxing are all captains from the nine grades.

But it was such a small official, but he blocked the carriage and horse of the Hubu Shangshu.

Li Yuanxing watched this scene from afar, and he was really grateful.

Privilege is not used here, a court member who abides by his duty makes Li Yuanxing sincerely respect.

"Cui Shangshu!" Li Yuanxing personally walked to Cui Junsu's carriage.

"His Royal Highness King Qin is well!"

Cui Junsu stepped out of the carriage after giving a salute, and his eyes were still looking at the continuous convoy.

If Cui Junsu wants to cross the bridge, it will affect at least 500 to 1,000 cars to cross the bridge, and according to the Jinghe Bridge steward, every half an hour the south to the north will be allowed to pass for a quarter of an hour. And this release is just to free up a lane, so that the cars from the south to the north line up in a long line to cross the bridge in a single row.

"10,000 horse-drawn carriages, 50,000 rickshaws, can Your Highness tell me, what is this transporting?"

"Vegetables, dishes for the people of Chang'an to spend the winter. It can't be said that the slaves in Yaozhou have food to eat every day in winter, but the people of Chang'an don't, and I, the king of Qin, will be scolded! Li Yuanxing replied with a smile.

The carriage's capacity is enhanced by solid rubber wheels and oil-filled bearings.

One of the biggest improvements is that the original single-axle two-wheel. Changed to a four-wheeled twin axle. The horses are no longer strained.

The horse is just a pulling force, and the load capacity is four tons according to the new Datang system, and according to the modern calculation method, it is almost about two tons and seven.

And bigger. Two horses. Even four-horse's. But it can be pulled up to seven tons of Tang to sixteen tons.

It's just that such a big carriage only temporarily transports large steel objects to Yaozhou.

On the road from Yaozhou to Chang'an, the most is a single horse and four wheels. In fact, it was loaded with three tons of goods, plus another hundred catties of water, as well as dozens of catties of forage, as well as a one-horse four-wheeled carriage of refined bean cakes.

Then there is a board car with a maximum load of 500 pounds per person, and a belt-driven tricycle is used.

This tricycle alone has made countless eyes hot, who has seen a car made of stainless steel and a steel chain in Datang. Although it looks simple, a year ago, this tricycle dared to ask for three or four hundred yuan in Chang'an City.

He packed three hundred and fifty pounds, plus his own dry food and water.

At speeds of about 15 kilometers per hour, these tricycle riders are in a team of 100 people, and the team is equipped with a repair vehicle equipped with a large number of parts and tools, which specializes in emergency repair of tricycles.

I set off before dawn, and I arrived in Jingyang at noon.

"Five steps, carriages five paces apart." Someone shouted on the bridge.

Very rhythmic, very orderly, lined up quickly through the Jinghe Stone Bridge.

Cui Junsu turned his head sideways and asked Li Yuanxing:

"Your Highness, 60,000 tons of cargo. is six million catties, such a huge amount, His Royal Highness has let Chang'an have fresh vegetables all winter. ”

"It's just the first batch, three times a month. To the south of Mingdemen in Chang'an City, Qinwangzhuang is supplied, and Yaozhou is supplied north of Mingdemen. Li Yuanxing said, signaling the guards to call a carriage over, the coachman first shouted to the leader, and the whole team of ten carriages did not dare to occupy the road and stopped in the open space next to the bridge.

This open space is a place to prepare to queue up across the bridge, or to wait.

According to Li Yuanxing's request, keep to the right, after the carriage stopped, but there was no way to squeeze through the continuous queue, and when they were anxious, Li Yuanxing and Cui Junsu quickly walked through the continuous convoy to the place where they stopped.

"Your Highness, the small one is from the eighteenth square of the sixth district in the east of Yaozhou. This team is all people from the same workshop, and our task this time is to transport the goods to Chang'an, and then follow the dispatch of the chief official of the Chang'an Yaozhou Office to pull some goods back to Yaozhou. The team leader said respectfully in front of Li Yuanxing.

Li Yuanxing smiled and nodded, even if it was a salute.

The tarpaulin was opened, and the white radish under the car was filled with cabbage on top. Because the proportion of white radish is large, the volume of cabbage is large. Just a small amount of radish will make the car overweight, and the same weight of cabbage will be too high.

"What a dish of good water!" The water Cui Junsu said is fresh.

"Cabbage is easy to preserve, it can be piled up in the snow for a winter, and if it is frozen outside, it can also be fed to pigs and chickens. One pound and one penny, but this king doesn't know if the people of Chang'an can accept it, and considers whether the price will be reduced to three catties and two pennies. But the porters worked hard to pull over, running these two hundred miles, how to add two hundred dollars of foot strength, go out before dawn, and run two hundred miles in one go, it is really hard. ”

Porters are coolies, and many porters are very satisfied with a day's hard work, that is, thirty dollars.

But these cabbages can be calculated in a different way, 300 catties of goods are pulled to Chang'an, and the car dealer collects 200 Wen, which is not much at all, because it used to take three or five days. And it takes at least four people, and even with a horse-drawn carriage, two people are needed.

"Your Highness, the porter on the iron chariot ran this time, and it was a hundred yuan. His Royal Highness is sympathetic to the people, and he earns a hundred yuan with his strength on this day, but it is not low. Many unskilled slaves have broken their heads for the sake of this porter's chance. ”

Li Yuanxing smiled and nodded:

"Coupled with the distribution of various cities in Chang'an, the consumption of vegetables. I'm afraid the price of two catties and three wen can be controlled, this radish is a big supplement, and it is really delicious to stew it with bone broth. ”

Cui Junsu is the head of the household, how can he not know the price of the dish.

Let's just say that this cabbage has a few similarities with the cabbage, but it doesn't seem to be.

There are this thing in spring and autumn, who hears that it can be eaten in winter, even if it is fresh in winter, a hundred pounds, even if he Cui Junsu may not be able to eat it, some dried vegetables are already very luxurious.

One pound and one penny, how much money do you have to lose King Qin.

"Ignore the foreign businessmen first, and give priority to the people of Chang'an. Not to mention anything else, each person has ten catties of vegetables per month, and this king can still afford it. Let the people eat fresh vegetables in winter, and it is good to have a good year. A few days ago, Cui Changshi asked the king, how to spend this year's celebration, the king wants to come and go, even if the celebration is gorgeous, it is not as good as the people to have a good winter and a good year! The people's music is the music of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Cui Junsu gave a long salute without saying a word, and after getting up, he nodded silently, and he saluted again. Without saying a word, he turned back to his carriage and waited for the moment of release from south to north.

In the city of Chang'an, the Guanghua Gate of the north and west enters the city.

Tens of thousands of people gathered outside the city gate, which surprised Li Yuanxing.

Because he was going to sell vegetables, he didn't say it in the Chang'an Daily, and he originally asked Yaozhou to pull the vegetables over, because Li Chunfeng speculated that it would snow in the next few days.

I don't know why the people of Chang'an knew the news.

Recently, there are officials in each square of Chang'an who lead people to hold up signs and write the names of their respective shops.

The first team stopped the car, and the team leader walked to the sign of Changle Fang, looked at the sign, and then looked at the note in his hand.

"Changle Fang, dare to ask how to go to Changle Fang. We are responsible for delivering goods to Changle Fang. ”

Hearing the words of the team leader, the Fang official hurriedly stepped up to meet him, and then shouted at the people behind him: "Changle Fang! ”

In a word, hundreds of people ran over at the moment, and they tied the front of the tricycle with ropes, in groups of two. It's not leading the way, they're helping to pull the cart.

Standing on the wall of the palace, Li Er looked at this scene with a telescope and smiled: "Gorou has done this good deed, and he should let the people know." I personally wrote the article on the celebration of the second year of Zhenguan, and the front page of Datang News tomorrow. According to Goro, the celebration of the Tang Dynasty is to celebrate with the people, and the people have fresh vegetables every day, have a good winter, and have a good year! ”

"Holy Lord, His Royal Highness King Qin's original intention should be to let the people thank the royal family!" Jing Zhao Yin Dugu Xiude stood beside Li Er and said softly.

"No!" Li Er shook his head heavily:

"One winter, Gorou prepared 30 million catties of fresh vegetables. How much Gorou pays, this reputation is Gorou's. This is a royal matter, not a royal matter. Go ahead, don't have a mess, anyone who dares to grab vegetables, heavy responsibility. If you are not the people of Chang'an, you can also get some fresh vegetables for the people of my Tang Dynasty, and the rest of the people can get some fresh vegetables, I don't know, you don't know? ”

"Command!" Jing Zhaoyin was a big official, and he was also an official position of the third grade in the early Tang Dynasty, but the middle Tang Dynasty mentioned the second grade.

And this Jing Zhaoyin is not only a big official, but also a close confidant of Li Er.

What's more, he has a prominent status.

There are two big people who are his aunt and grandmother, and one is Dugu Jialuo, Yang Guang's mother.

The other is Li Yuan's mother, the fourth sister of Yang Guang's mother, Dugu Jialan.

Dugu Xiude is also a ruthless person, Wang Shichong was spared death by Li Yuan, but he personally led people to intercept and kill on the road and avenged his father.

In Li Yuan's era, he didn't particularly reuse, and after the change of Li Erxuanwumen, he sat on Jing Zhaoyin's seat.

As he was talking, a forbidden soldier rushed over, whispered a few words in front of Grandpa Gao, and retreated to the side.

Father-in-law Gao walked a few steps quickly and came to Li Er: "Holy Lord, the price of the dish has been set." Two pounds of cabbage, one pound of radish! ”

Ha! Li Er couldn't laugh anymore, staring at Dugu Xiude: "What was the price of fresh vegetables last year?" (To be continued......)
