Chapter 62: Wealthy, Wealthy, Wealthy
After two or three days, early in the morning, Li Sangrou took two tabloids, shook off the news newspaper first, and at first glance, he saw a line of headlines in big characters: Three folds on the Yushi Terrace, impeachment of the military department for dereliction of duty, and Shunfeng Express plotted against him.
Li Sangrou whistled happily, she had been waiting for this excerpt for a month or two.
She originally thought that when her courier was rolled out, it would be ten days and eight days, and there should be a bullet break, but who knew that she would wait for a month or two, and she was wondering, she finally came.
Li Sangrouzai carefully read the article, then finished flipping through the tabloids, closed it and was stunned for a while.
This fold was just handed over yesterday, and at this time, Pan Dingbang knows at most that such an excerpt has been handed over, well, I'll talk to him tomorrow.
……………………
These several excerpts of the impeachment of the Ministry of War and Shunfeng Express were sent by the emperor to the King of Qin and several ministers to deal with, and they failed to make it to the court of the emperor.
When the court discussion ended, Gu Jin went directly to Zhongshu Province, outside Wu Xiang's hut, and then discussed the matter, and soon discussed the excerpt.
"Pang Shumi, let's talk about it first." Wu Xiang looked at Pang Shumi.
Because it was the Ministry of War that broke the bullet and impeached it, it was not good for the Ministry of War to talk about Shangshu, so I had to talk about this matter.
Pang Shumi looked at Gu Jin.
"This is the best thing in the world, let's talk about it." Gu Jin motioned to Gu Xi, who was sitting on the chair with the Malaysian Golden Dao.
"The Imperial Post Office, discussing every year, worrying every year, the eldest brother can't sleep at night because of this post station.
I've been keeping an eye out to see if there's anything I can do to solve this dilemma.
The current rider groom in this Shunfeng Express shop was personally selected by Zhihe, and they were all military households who had retired from the army.
To say that Shunfeng Express is plotting against ......"
Gu Xi dragged his voice.
"Don't bother with that." Wu Xiang simply answered: "In order to attract attention, Yushitai often uses such sensational words, which is a convention. ”
"Well, Shunfeng Express delivered letters to Wuwei Mansion and other four states, and to this day, it has been two and a half months, I don't know if you have used this Shunfeng Express to deliver letters, compared with our postal station, how is it?" Gu Xi looked around at everyone and asked.
"The cost of downwind delivery?" Pan Xiang looked at Gu Xi and asked.
"Li Da's shopkeeper's own capital, I just keep an eye on it, so as not to have any bad intentions." Gu Xi replied simply.
"The matter of Shunfeng Express, since it came out in August, I have been asked to watch, and it has been very safe.
Downwind Express does not say the price, fast is extremely fast, I think this is a good thing, just. Wu Xiang's tone changed, "The post post has always been a military business, although there is no explicit prohibition, but there has never been a private business like this.
Now that it is delivered with the wind, I heard that it is quite profitable, and there must be other businesses that want to follow up, do this business, share this cup of soup, Xu or not, there must be an explanation first, and then it is good to discuss. ”
Wu Xiang looked at Gu Jin.
"I think it's okay to let them in, it's not a good thing for a family to be dominant." Gu Jin's statement was straightforward and clear.
"That's what I mean, too." Pan Xiang nodded.
Du Xiang and Pang Shumi nodded.
This is obvious, either Shunfeng Express will be seized, or other businesses will have to be licensed.
The opening of Shunfeng Express is indeed a breeze for the empire's post post, which is beneficial and harmless, and it is not appropriate to seize it, so it can only be allowed to other merchants.
"Then let's discuss, this permission, how to allow it.
The first one, the silver that the court spends on the post road every year, is hundreds of thousands, and this road cannot be used for them in vain. Wu Xiang saw that everyone agreed and continued.
"You must have the money to buy the road!" Gu Xi simply expressed his position directly.
Miss Li had already set aside this money.
Wu Xiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "First, how much should I pay; Second, after all, the post post is a military affair, and it cannot be left entirely to them, and there must be a charter to limit it, so as not to be detrimental to the country; Thirdly, I mean, it is not advisable to let them do whatever they want, if there are too many courier companies, and the post road is too crowded, I am afraid that they will miss the main military affairs.
These, or let the Privy Council and the Ministry of War draw up a charter first? ”
Wu Xiang looked at Gu Jin.
Gu Jin smiled and nodded, "That's what I mean." As for how much money should be paid for road maintenance, take the account of the two months of Shunfeng Express to Pang Shumi for a look, not too little, not too much, but to make them profitable. ”
Gu Jin looked at Gu Xi and said.
"Good!" Gu Xi readily agreed.
……………………
The next afternoon, Li Sangrou carried the pear meat strips and entered the Ministry of Industry.
Pan Dingbang watched Li Sangrou spread out the pack of pear strips and flicked it with his fingers, "I don't like to eat this." ”
"It's not for food. When I came back here, I drank tea dry, and I had to bring some food myself. ”
Li Sangrou said as she poured a cup of tea, sat down, and took a pear stick.
"Say yes, I'll bring some refreshments tomorrow, what do you like to eat? Is this a pear? Pan Dingbang stretched out his head to look at it, and reached out to pick up one.
"I like to eat everything, pear strips and ginkgo chestnuts in autumn, French ginger sour jujube cake in winter, dried peaches and dried apricots and plum dew in spring, and Hongling chicken head ice and snow cold water lychee paste in summer, eat everything." Li Sangrou said quickly.
"Oh, I'm really good at eating!" Pan Dingbang gave Li Sangrou a thumbs up.
"Average." Li Sangrou took another pear strip, "I'm looking for it today, I have something serious." ”
Pan Dingbang chuckled, "Then it was all unserious to look for me in the past?" ”
Before he finished his sentence, Pan Dingbang couldn't laugh at himself.
Li Sangrou's mouth pursed into eight figures, and she glanced at Pan Dingbang with the corner of her eyes, with a look of disdain, "Who do you dare to be indecent with?" ”
"Well, look, it's a joke. Serious business. Pan Dingbang stopped laughing, sighed a few times, and bit the pear strip to signal Li Sangrou.
"I've been impeached, have you heard?" Li Sangrou furrowed her eyebrows.
"Of course I heard! As soon as I handed it in, I knew it. That fold is not impeachment, and it is not an official body, and the word impeachment cannot be used on the body, so it has nothing to do with it. Pan Dingbang waved his hand.
"Why doesn't it have anything to do with me? I read the excerpt, it said that Shunfeng Express was plotting against him, and this was going to kill his head! Li Sangrou leaned forward with a serious face.
"What's wrong? What a!
I was also shocked when I saw this fold that day, and when I went back that day, I thought about what excuse I could find and ask my third brother.
My third brother is not in the Hanlin Academy, or he is in charge of delivering folds back and forth, he must know about this. My third brother is a smart man, and he has seen too many excerpts, and he knows the severity at a glance.
This time, my third brother was refreshed, and he said it as soon as I asked.
My third brother said: This is nothing. There must be someone who is blushing to make money, and has found a few excerpts in the imperial history, not to impeach anyone, but to make this business a post post military affairs, and openly make it clear, so that the court can make it clear.
This money has to be earned, and everyone earns it together.
My third brother said it mildly, and that's what it meant.
When I heard it, what was going on?
Isn't it that someone wants to come and grab business, and you can be afraid of people robbing business! ”
Pan Dingbang patted the armrest of the chair, full of confidence.
"I'm still a little scared." Li Sangrou breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back into the back of the chair. "In the past two months, I have earned a little, just a little, at the beginning, I set this price too low, and the profit is very thin.
When it comes to sending letters, I also know that sending a thousand letters in a trip, a hundred letters, and ten letters are all one trip, and there is no difference in this money, but sending a thousand letters in one trip and sending ten letters in one trip is a big difference.
Now, the whole world is my family, and the business is all here, if there are one or two, three or five, the letter is just like that, it is impossible to send it all to me, no matter what, I must always divide some out, as long as I divide a little out, I will lose. Li Sangrou sighed.
"And what about the tabloid business? I heard that those riders brought two pack horses! Pan Dingbang glared.
"I can do the tabloid business, but others can't? It's as reasonable as this letter, I do it as a family, make money, and a few families have a point, how can there be any money? Li Sangrou glanced at Pan Dingbang with a look of disdain.
"Also, I didn't expect this. So what to do? I couldn't speak in front of my father, and I couldn't speak in front of my third brother.
Why don't you go find the prince of the world? He has a lot of power, let him tell the uncle, the uncle has more power, just do it, this business is allowed to be done by one family! At the end, Pan Dingbang slapped the table with a happy face.
"Huh!" Li Sangrou said loudly twice, "Do you think, do I have such a big face in front of the world?" That uncle, can you agree to such a statement? changed Daddy, can Daddy agree? ”
"My dad definitely can't agree, really, so what should I do?" Pan Dingbang was worried.
"Don't be afraid! If I don't make money, others will make money? They don't make money either! Do you want to lose it to everyone?
My capital is small, and they don't have to pay the big black horses, but they can't do it, so I quit all the riders and let them run to deliver letters, what should they do? Can it be the same? Hmph, you have to boil them to death! Li Sangrou said with a wrong tooth.
Pan Dingbang glared at Li Sangrou, for a moment, laughed, and slapped the table while laughing, "Yes, yes, yes!" Survive them! Hahahaha, this method is good! Survive them! ”
Li Sangrou no longer mentioned the matter of the excerpt, talked to Pan Dingbang, saw that it was not early, and got up to say goodbye.
Pan Dingbang sent her to the door and patted his head, "By the way, there is something, I don't know if I can ......" Pan Dingbang looked at Li Sangrou and rubbed his fingers.
"Borrow money?" Li Sangrou looked at Pan Dingbang's fingers that kept rubbing.
"What money to borrow! Although I don't have much money a month, I don't need to borrow money.
It's Eleven Lang's business, I don't know if I can ......" Pan Dingbang rubbed his fingers again, he couldn't think of what to say.
"Eleven Lang wants to borrow money?" Li Sangrou said she understood.
"It's not!" Pan Dingbang laughed out loud, "It's not money!" Looking at this business, my eyes are full of money.
I'll tell you about this first, that is, in the middle of last month, I went to the ghost market on East Cross Street with Shiyi Lang, and met a young lady named Zhuyun, and Shiyi Lang took a fancy to it at a glance.
He is such a person, at a glance, you can take a fancy to him!
Since he fell in love, I accompanied him, all the way to Zhuyun's house, her house is not far from the ghost market, in the small sweet water lane, the first trip, drank tea for a long time, said it very well, it can be done, but it is too late, I and Eleven Lang, are going to be on an errand, not too late. ”
Li Sangrou pouted, it couldn't be too late, not because of the errand, but because there was a Hedong lion at home.
"After two days, I accompanied Shiyi Lang to go again, Zhuyun is good, soft and lovely, what do she believe, Shiyi Lang really likes it, but now, half a month later, just can't succeed.
But this can't be blamed on Zhu Yun, Zhu Yun's mother is really hateful.
Zhu Yun secretly cried with Shiyi Lang many times, saying that her mother tortured her every day, begging Shiyi Lang to redeem her and reward her with the deed.
That's good, isn't it?
But her mother is really hateful, she bites to death, five thousand taels, and she can't lose a lot of money. ”
"Five thousand taels is not much, just give it to her." Li Sangrou waved her hand extremely irresponsibly.
"Quite a few! Five thousand taels! Eleven Lang doesn't have this silver, and neither do I! Pan Dingbang leaned at Li Sangrou dissatisfied.
"Is that still borrowing?" Li Sangrou asked again.
"It's not! If you don't borrow money, you can't pay it back, and besides, if you let your family know that we are borrowing money outside, then there will be no way to live!
Not borrowing money! It's like, look, that, can you think of a way? It's the big boss, the helper, the ...... of the mixed rivers and lakes" Pan Dingbang rubbed his fingers again.
"Oh! Say it early! Okay, I'll go take a look first, it's called Zhuyun, right? Look at what the hell is going on with her mother. Li Sangrou waved her hand and readily agreed.
"Alas! What a righteousness! Just in Little Sweet Water Lane, the third house, the lantern hanging on the door is painted with a clump of ink bamboo, which is very elegant. Pan Dingbang smiled.
"I know, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I'll go and see." Li Sangrou waved at Pan Dingbang and went out.
……………………
The courier shop, the will came out quickly.
That will is very long, starting from the Yellow Emperor, first demonstrated the long history of the family letter, and then cited the evidence, listed a few believers who made great things, explaining that the letter has been a long time, and finally got down to business.
Li Sangrou let out a long breath when she saw the goodness, and the nonsense was finally finished.
There are only a few lines in the back, and to sum up, the total number has to be in Jianle City; If you want to run to which state and which road to take, you must first report to the military department; In order to avoid encroaching too much on the post road, no more than three courier shops are allowed to travel to and from each state. In addition, every 300 li, you have to pay 100 taels of silver every month for the damage to the post road.
Li Sangrou carefully read the next few lines of Congshan Mo Dayan twice, and let out a long sigh.
"What did you say?" The black horse squatting on Li Sangrou's right stretched out his head and looked at it for a long time, but he didn't understand.
"We are now ordered to send a letter, and from next month, we will pay silver to the military department, every three hundred li, one hundred taels of silver a month." Li Sangrou's tone was pleasant.
This road money is very suitable, no more, no less, exactly what she expected.
"Dachang, let's go to the military department now, say it's a downwind express shop, and go to report the route, which is the four states we are doing now." Li Sangrou instructed Dachang.
"Okay." Dachang stood up and went to Donghua Gate.
