After Gu Tiancheng and his brothers signaled, Laqin sat down with Ru and explained: "It's not just the delivery business, there is also a festival gift from the Liao family to Jiangrong County on the ship. Not only do we have to help people deliver things to the Liao family's old house in Jiangrong County, but they also have the grain they have laid this year to transport back to Tongzhou, and the return trip must also be arranged. ”

Moreover, he also wanted to take this opportunity to take advantage of the Liao family's momentum to register the branch of the letter bureau of Pingzhou Mansion in the government office. Next, it is enough to send people in Pingzhou, and things will be much simpler.

Qin Xiangru stopped speaking in an instant, he understood this truth.

"Then when will Brother Gu come back?" Qin Xiangru asked.

It's the Mid-Autumn Festival. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, August 20 is the day he gets married. Gu Tiancheng is his best friend, and on such an important day for him, he doesn't want Gu Tiancheng to be absent.

Qin Xiangru had mentioned this matter before, of course Gu Tiancheng remembered it, and said with a smile at the moment: "Don't worry, Jingwen, I have to drink your favorite wine." ”

"That's fine, it's a word." Qin nodded to Ru, he believed in Gu Tiancheng's promise.

"It's a deal."

…………

Steward Zhang's food and lodging were arranged by Liu Qiyuan, and yesterday he hired a rather elaborate carriage to invite Steward Zhang to the county. After a good reception, the inn was arranged.

On the second day, it was still Liu Qiyuan, who went to the inn early to take care of Steward Zhang's early risen.

After breakfast, pondering that the affairs of the cargo ship were almost arranged, he still hired a carriage and respectfully invited Steward Zhang to go to the dock.

At this time, all the goods of the No. 1 ship had been shipped. The delivery packages and goods belonging to the ship delivered by Chengyun were also checked by Yuan Dongchu again and handed over to the receiver.

Yishui County has parcels that are picked up and also transported by this boat.

A brother carried two bundled together, large square burdens, and walked on the ship, and when he stepped onto the deck, he turned to look at the dock with some trepidation.

He has already delivered two packages, but it is the first time to take the letter bureau's own ship, and he has a different kind of steadfastness and comfort in his heart.

After Steward Zhang got out of the car, he had to greet everyone again.

Gu Tiancheng gave him an additional introduction to Qin Xiangru, who he hadn't seen yesterday.

Steward Zhang and Qin Xiangru greeted each other.

After only two or three sentences of entertainment, Steward Zhang saw Qin Xiangru's generous temperament.

Listening to Gu Tiancheng's introduction, this honest young man is the eldest son of the Qin family in Yanpu Town. Steward Zhang greeted him again, and when he called it "rude", he was a little more optimistic about Gu Tiancheng's future in his heart.

He is optimistic about this, not because the eldest son of the Qin family is also a member of Chengyun.

If it was ten years ago, Qin Rui, the head of the Qin family, could also be regarded as a figure in Tongzhou.

But compared to ordinary people, and in front of a family like the Liao family, it is really nothing.

Not to mention now, the head of the Qin family is just a five-rank Beijing official of the previous dynasty. And the old man of the Liao family is the chief assistant of the court.

He was surprised that Gu Tiancheng's subordinates were all elite.

Liu Sanhu, the gangster in Tongzhou before, followed Gu Tiancheng for a few days, and his spirit was still sharp, but there were rules in his words and deeds.

Pan Zaishui, who stayed in Tongzhou, was young but thoughtful.

Not to mention Liu Qiyuan, who received him all the way, he spoke and acted extremely sophisticated. In terms of thoughtfulness and sophistication, he is not inferior to the chief steward of his family.

And now the eldest son of the Qin family, aside from his family background, has this generosity and sincerity, if he is well appointed, he can work diligently, he can't say, he will also be a good helper in the future.

What's more, such people are very reliable.

It is not easy to find people in this world who are capable and willing to be used by others. But there are even fewer people who can really be trusted and reliable.

is such a person, but Gu Tiancheng has several subordinates, and they seem to be like an arm command, and they are very useful.

The Liao family has been around for a hundred years, and the natural governance of the family is rigorous, and Steward Zhang is not a high-flying person.

At this time, I had more knowledge of Gu Tiancheng and the others, and I didn't dare to neglect any of them at the moment, so I really greeted everyone politely before boarding the ship.

After getting on the boat, I look at the other rivers, which are fixed boats, fixed boat bosses, and boatmen. When Gu Tiancheng's ship arrived in Muliang Town, not only did the ship change, but most of the shipwrights who delivered the ship to Chengyun were also replaced.

Gu Tiancheng has a lot of subordinates, and there is even a rotation system, and he is sighing at the moment.

Liu Qiyuan left with Gu Tiancheng, and all the affairs of Muliang Town were handed over to Yuan Changhe and Yuan Dongchu.

Yuan Changhe is the owner of the river operation, and he has the expertise of an intermediary, so he operates the two cargo ships left in Muliang Town very reasonably.

In addition to the rest time, the freight business is going on without interruption, and the business is booming.

Yuan Dongchu was mainly busy with the affairs of the letter bureau, and the most difficult work in the letter bureau was, of course, training employees and taking out illiteracy.

In the past ten days since Gu Tiancheng and Yuan Dongchu left, Liu Qiyuan gave full play to his advantages of extensive travel, and had already set up a branch of the letter bureau in five relatively prosperous counties in Shangxiahe.

said that it was a branch for the establishment of the Information Bureau, but in fact, it was only registered in the county and county offices, and the brothers who were not dragged down by their families were arranged to stay in the five county seats.

The left-behind people waited at the dock every day, and the packages delivered by their own families followed.

When the package arrives at the recipient, the courier will return the receipt according to the number of packages received.

In the early stage of starting a business, the wages given to you are really not much, and you can only ensure simple food and housing.

The rest is the blank check promised: when the situation of the letter bureau is opened, these five people will be the treasurer of the branch of the county letter bureau.

Someone is waiting at the delivery location, and the delivery efficiency of the county bureau is much better. Even if you take another ship, it will be convenient and will not be delayed.

As long as the boat stops and the delivery person disembarks, he can find the nearest person with his branch at the pier. The parcel is simply handed over, and you can board the ship and continue on your way.

On the return trip, meet again twice, hand over the receipt and the packages that may be received, and return to the Muliang Town branch.

With such a good start, the next step is to just copy the practice and the cycle continues.

What matters now is the level of education of the employees.

There are few packages, and everyone can rely on memory to do all the above things.

However, if there are too many parcels, and there will be purchasing agents in the future, if you still sort out and hand over from memory, the delivery business will be chaotic.

At that point, the chance of error will increase exponentially. Not to mention making money, I'm afraid that I will lose all my belongings.

Yuan Dongchu took Xiaoman and others to continue to improve the operation strategy of more and more packages. At the same time, he also sped up the literacy work for the dock brothers.

Of course, literacy cards are needed, and this mechanical method of quickly grasping the names of places and people cannot be abandoned.

In addition, it is the real literacy and writing.

As the delivery business unfolds, more and more parcels are in urgent need of detailed records.

Just recognizing the street and the name of the person, and making a verbal handover and ticking the box is not enough immediately.

If you use the reading methods of this era to study, Yuan Dongchu thinks that he does not have so much energy, and he will not be able to achieve good results.
