Chapter 55: Applause

Gu Xi and Gu Jin are two people, one is more powerful, and the other is higher and more powerful. The two of them are in the middle of the court, one look, one smile, they are all cautious.

Li Sangrou's express delivery shop, although it was opened with the strong support of two people, but both of them should not have any expression.

It doesn't matter if Pan Dingbang.

Li Sangrou wanted to open a courier shop, he felt that he was the first to know, and the pole at the door of the Shunfeng Express was his suggestion, and then he stared at the craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry, and looked straight at what was made overnight and erected again.

He felt that he had a very unusual relationship with Shunfeng Express, but also had a great responsibility.

As soon as the Shunfeng Express was opened, Pan Dingbang first wrote more than a dozen letters in one breath and handed them out, and then from the Ministry of Industry, up to Xue Shangshu, down to the lowest-level small bookstore, including the gatehouse, walked over and over again and asked and said:

You know the newly opened Shunfeng Express Shop, right? The price is fair and the delivery is fast, where is your home? Home is from the north, so you must have friends and relatives in those four states, right? Hurry up and write a letter! Write a few more letters, it's only 200 big money, how cheap!

The Ministry of Industry said that after a circle, Pan Dingbang shook into the military department next door, from Shangshu to the old man in the porter, and asked again and again.

At the end of this day, all the yamen that Pan Dingbang could think of, except for the middle book under the door, he didn't dare to go, and the rest were all walked around by him and said it again.

The officials in the imperial city are all smart and sensitive.

Before and after the Spring Festival, the letter begging the official to deliver the letter to the family through the post post was heard, and several ministers nodded their heads, but when they went to the prince, they were rejected.

Such a trivial matter, several ministers nodded, but the prince rejected it, it has never been, the prince is a generous person, and he has never cared about this little money.

Later, the few excerpts that pleaded for permission were all dismissed.

Now, out of the house downwind express.

Isn't this courier a post post, but a post post is a military affair! Someone actually opened on the edge of the imperial city in a grand manner!

The Imperial City, and even the entire Yamen of Jianle City, under the calm appearance, were instigated by the military affairs behind Shunfeng Express and the propaganda that Pan Dingbang said when he saw people, and stirred up the undercurrent.

Almost all the yamen were secretly talking about how deep the water was behind the Shunfeng Express, and loudly discussing the notice of the Shunfeng Express.

Almost everyone has calculated for Shunfeng Express, how much they have to lose two hundred big dollars for a letter. And, from Jianle City to Huaiyang Mansion, it will arrive the next day, which is almost the same as the urgent foot delivery of the imperial court, but the urgent foot delivery of the imperial court requires a few ministers to nod their heads!

It only takes five days to get to Wuwei Mansion for 1,500 miles! Just five hundred dollars!

How many miles do you have to run a day, how many people and how many horses do you have to raise? How much does it cost?

How much did this letter lose?

In addition to the enthusiastic calculation of these things, the other yamen other than the Ministry of War and the Privy Council, from top to bottom, stretched their necks one by one, waiting to see the reaction of the Ministry of War and the Privy Council.

This Shunfeng Express is doing a post business, which is obvious!

In addition to eating melons and watching the excitement, I was also a little nervous, and even looked forward to it, I don't know if anything big will happen.

The Ministry of War is a little angry when it talks about Shangshu.

The post is under the control of their military department and the Privy Council, but the Privy Council is in charge of supervising the quality of their military department's post management, and occasionally issues a charter or something.

The downwind express that suddenly appeared was clearly doing the post office, and if there was anything to do about it, it would definitely fall on their military headquarters.

The Privy Council, not only is it not responsible, but it may even have to be impeached.

Moreover, Pan Qi came to the door and talked about them, so he couldn't pretend not to know!

But this tube, how to manage?

That Shunfeng Express can make Pan Qigongzi work so hard to pull people everywhere to send letters, and besides, this Qigongzi has been tossing all day, Pan Xiang has not said a word, behind this, there must be someone standing!

Recently, he has been patronizing the change of guard of the army, and closely following the prince of the world, staring at the new replacement of military rations and the establishment of new granaries, and occasionally has a little leisure, and he has to listen to the big event of changing the household department, the official department and the Ministry of Rites for the official of the book, and he doesn't know anything about this downwind express!

Now it's definitely not appropriate to inquire around, people's shops have opened, and he still doesn't know anything, if this spreads, a loss of investigation will definitely not be able to run, to put it seriously, it is enough to be a corpse vegetarian meal.

Tan Shangshu had a headache for a quarter of an hour or two, and decided to go to the Privy Council and ask Privy Pang directly: What should he do.

The matter of this post has always been the Privy Council to make a charter, and their military department is responsible for the implementation, and now this is a good wind, but it has never happened, and the new book has never mentioned what to do if there is a merchant doing the post business.

Something that has never happened before, then the Privy Council must get a one-way out first!

Tan Shangshu made up his mind, went out of the military department, and went straight to the Privy Council to find Pang Shumi.

Pang Shumi listened to Tan Shangshu's words and laughed, "The prince called me over early in the morning, saying that he was afraid that you would come over in a while."

Shunfeng Express this matter, the prince said that he knew, and the uncle also knew, and the prince said that this was what the uncle meant.

First, let the officials have a suitable place to deliver letters, and second, you also know that the matter of our post post is uneven, and the idlers are raised during the peaceful years, and the waste is raised, and it is very easy to delay if there is something wrong.

The prince said that the uncle had long wanted to see if there was any other way.

The prince said, this matter, just try it first, it's not good to make a big splash, let you and me, take care of one or two, don't care about anything, just watch it first. ”

Tan Shangshu breathed a sigh of relief, "Since it is the uncle's meaning, then this burden must be something we can afford." So what are you going to think about this? Tan Shangshu leaned forward and asked in a low voice.

"In the Shunfeng Express Shop, there are dozens of couriers and grooms in use, all of which were picked by Fourth Master Wen, why do we need to look at them?

Do you have any private messages to send to those four states? If you have it, just write a few letters, and it's quite cheap to be serious. Pang Shumi also leaned over.

"Isn't it just cheap, it only takes five days to go to Wuwei Mansion! It's a rush to deliver! It's only 500 big money, it's just a free gift!

This is in a hurry, let's calculate the price every year, not to mention the gold medal hand, it is the wooden card, the cheapest, and you have to smash sixteen taels of silver into a hundred miles.

How much silver does a letter have to be pasted with this downwind express?

I have to write a few more letters, and I always feel that this is not a long time to be delivered downwind, and this price is too cheap.

You have to take advantage of this bargain quickly, otherwise, after this village, there will be no store in a blink of an eye. Tan Shangshu stood up as he spoke.

"Anyway, looking at the prince like that, he is very determined.

I am looking forward to being able to do it for a long time, to Huaiyang Mansion the next day, to Wuwei Mansion for five days, how convenient! The pet privy councillor then stood up and sent Tan Shangshu to the door of the Privy Council.

……………………

On the day of the opening of Shunfeng Express, Yongping Marquis Shen He returned to the mansion, and the long follower reported it.

Yongping Hou frowned when he heard this, looked at his son Shen Mingshu and said, "What is he going to do?" Nearly one million taels of silver was paid to the beggar head that year? ”

"Look at this." Shen Mingshu handed the notice posted by Shunfeng Express to Yongping Hou.

Yongping Hou took it, swept it with a few glances, and his brows tightened, "Go to Wuwei Mansion for five days, five hundred dollars, this is nonsense!" What the hell is he going to do? ”

"Or, let me talk to the second master? Let the second master ask? Shen Mingshu suggested.

"No, you don't." Yongping Hou pondered for a moment, "This is a very small matter, there is no need to disturb the second master with such a trivial matter, let's take a look first." ”

"Well, I think so too, such a trivial matter as the post post is not worth mentioning." Shen Mingshu bowed and smiled.

……………………

Li Sangrou rushed back to Jianle City overnight, and when she dismounted at the door of her shop, it was not yet dawn, but the lights in the shop were bright.

Li Sangrou led the horse and stepped into the door of the shop, and the two tents with red eyes saw her as if she was seeing a savior.

"The big shopkeeper is back!"

Li Sangrou stared at the four large cabinets that were stuffed to the brim, as well as the piles of cloth bags on the ground, and the letters piled up on the long case, biting the tip of her tongue, she finally couldn't help it, and didn't blurt out why there were so many!

According to her plan, in the first few days of opening, there will be three or two kittens.

But in front of you, how can there be so much? The officials and scholars who built Lecheng, the heart of this letter, are all suffocated like this?

"There are too many big shopkeepers!

Yesterday, since you left, this letter came, the beginning was fine, and when it came time for lunch, it was terrible! This queue has turned a corner!

Lao Zhang and I, yesterday afternoon, couldn't raise our heads just to receive the letter, and I really couldn't care about anything else, until it was dark, and we still received the letter!

Finally closed the door, I began to deal with Lao Zhang, sorted out overnight, and there are so many, you look at the big shopkeeper, what can I do? ”

Lao Huang was about to cry.

"When?" Li Sangrou glanced at the dripping in the corner of the shop.

There was still an hour and a half before the rider's departure time she had set.

"You hurry up and go to Prince Rui's mansion, go to the west gate, and find Ruyi, the little guy next to Prince Rui's son, and when you see Ruyi, you will say my words, and ask him to pick five or six smart and neat guys, come over and help for a long time, and tell him, very anxious, the sooner the better.

Just go! Li Sangrou ordered Lao Zhang.

Lao Huang is a few years older, and he has a lame leg, and he has to run errands.

"Good, good!" Lao Zhang's eyes were round when he heard this, and he ran out with a series of sounds, and he ran out with his legs.

Ruyi brought seven or eight small people, and came over so quickly that Li Sangrou was extremely envious of Gu Xi for the first time, with such a useful manpower around him, or a large group of people, it was really enviable and jealous.

Li Sangrou said to Ruyi how to divide it simply and clearly.

There are enough people, Li Sangrou simply dismantled the already packed ones, seven or eight small houses, one guarding a large pile of letters, divided into four piles according to four states, each pile and a small house according to the prefecture and county, and then separated according to the city and outside the city, filled in the details, bandaged and bagged, and pressed with lacquer.

It was only half an hour smaller, and they were neatly packed and piled up according to the state capital and county, just waiting for the riders to come over and set off.

"I'm sorry to disturb you and the son." Li Sangrou breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Ruyi.

"The little ones don't dare to bother.

The prince wants to go to court early, and he gets up very early every day.

When the girl's words arrived, the prince had already gotten up and was washing, and when he heard that the girl was going to use someone here, he told the little one to pick someone over immediately.

The prince also instructed the little one to stay here today and listen to the girl's orders. Ruyi replied with a smile.

"Just keep two or three people, and you can't use more than that." Li Sangrou hesitated and said with a smile.

How many letters can there be today, she has no score at all, if it is the same as yesterday, Lao Zhang and Lao Huang will definitely not be able to take care of it.

Besides, the two of them haven't slept all night, they are both in their fifties and sixty, and today is a day, I am afraid that I will have no energy, and someone has to watch it, otherwise, it will be too troublesome if something goes wrong.

"Then let the four of them stay, and if they can't be busy, the girl can just send them to find the little ones." Ruyi was not polite, ordered the four little guys, and said goodbye to Li Sangrou.

Before the riders arrived, a middle-aged steward about forty years old came in, greeted Li Sangrou, and introduced himself as the steward of Prince Rui's palace, and came to listen to the call at the behest of the prince.

Li Sangrou unceremoniously confessed to the steward, hurriedly ate breakfast, and rushed to Huaiyang Mansion with the riders.

Among the letters just sorted out, the most went to Chenzhou, this amount, compared with only seven letters yesterday, it was like an abyss in the sky, she had to look at it with the past, there was only one person in Huaiyang City, and she only arranged one person in other counties and counties, all of them were brand new novices, and suddenly such a large amount fell down, she definitely couldn't look at it.

When I arrived outside Huaiyang City that day, it was more than half an hour earlier than the day before.

Nie Pozi had been waiting for a long time, and when she heard the sound of hurried horses' hooves, she hurriedly greeted her, and before she could greet Li Sangrou, she saw the rider behind her, and the pack horse that followed closely behind the rider, and her eyes widened suddenly.

And the one who carried it right away was all faith?

How much does this have to be?

"Lao Hong!" Li Sangrou ignored the stunned Nie Pozi, raised her voice to call out the horseman Lao Hong, and together with the rider, unloaded the mail bag from the pack horse.

Li Sangrou sat on the bench at the door of the shop, watching the rider slowly hand over the three or four bags of letters in Huaiyang City with Nie Pozi.

Nie Pozi first handed over yesterday's seven receipts to the rider, and then carried a heart, carefully counted the new arrival letter twice, drew a charge, the rider put away the receipt booklet, etc., went into the house to drink tea, Nie Pozi looked at three or four bags of letters, and turned around sadly.

There were only seven letters yesterday, she didn't expect that there would be so many today, these three or four bags, although not too big, but thirty or forty catties are still available, it is okay to carry them outside the house, if you want to carry them back to Huaiyang City, she will definitely not be able to carry them!

"Big shopkeeper, look at ......" Nie Pozi turned around, accompanied by a smile on her face, and asked Li Sangrou for help.

Li Sangrou shook her head, "You figure it out yourself." It's the first time we've done this business, and if you encounter this today, you won't know what difficulties you'll encounter tomorrow, so you have to be able to deal with it yourself. ”

"Yes." Nie Pozi gritted her teeth, looked left and right, and went straight to the blacksmith shop four or five houses apart, and after a while, Nie Pozi pushed a half-old wheelbarrow back, piled three or four bags of letters on the wheelbarrow, pushed them up, and went to Huaiyang City with wind on the soles of her feet.

There are a total of 364 letters in this car, one letter is five big dollars, ten letters are fifty dollars, one hundred letters are five hundred dollars, and two hundred letters are a hanging money!

On this day, one and a half hangs with a fraction!

Nie Pozi ran away excitedly, but her thoughts were very clear.

These three hundred and sixty-four letters, at the latest, must be delivered to each house before dark tomorrow, and when they are delivered, they must be returned home, and the number of receipts must be sorted out, she can't be busy alone!

She and her daughter-in-law ...... No, the daughter-in-law has to take care of the child, a milk doll at home, a sick child, and she can't do without people.

Call my son back! I don't want most of my salary for half a month! It's only three or four hundred dollars......
