Chapter 63: The atmosphere is different

Gu Tiancheng only brought a deposit for two medium-sized cargo ships when he went out this time. After more than ten days of hard work, he not only received more than a dozen brothers, supported two cargo ships back, but also took two full truckloads of cargo transportation by the way.

This kind of thing is unprecedented in Muliang Town, and even in the vicinity of Yishui County, and it should have been surprised and discussed for a long time.

However, compared with the letter bureau that has already started the delivery business, although the empty gloves of the white wolf have two boats enough, compared with ordinary people, the letter bureau has more impact on their lives.

If you have relatives and friends in other places, the traffic is so slow and inconvenient in this era, and it is really difficult for you to carry a letter and bring something with you.

Nowadays, it is much simpler to have a letter bureau.

I heard that it doesn't take a lot of money to deliver it, and if you send letters and things to relatives and friends in other places, you don't have to ask which acquaintances will pass by, and you have to trouble people to take the trouble to carry them.

What's more, delivery is about employing people. Most of the things carried by the letter bureau are small items, and there is no need for any technology to deliver them, just deliver them properly.

Originally, there was a difficulty in this errand, and the person who delivered the letter needed to know the words, at least the streets and people's names.

All of a sudden, the postman seems to be a high-end and atmospheric business, and it should be very capable of persuading people to quit, but the big guys don't know where to hear it, and there are easy ways to recognize words, and some people have already recognized all the words in the streets and alleys of Muliang Town.

This is not some kind of rumor, people have real evidence.

Gu Tiancheng's brothers, whether they are old or young, as long as they have the heart and want to read and write, all the words of the street names in Muliang Town, those rude foot-picking men and rough boys, actually know it.

Some people who have gone to school are very unconvinced, and they take out a few words alone to take the school exam, and as a result, people can read them.

That's a bit of a slap in the face......

Reading and literacy, how high-end, sacred, and difficult things are...... That's it? In this way, no one taught, and a group of people who mixed the docks and the market learned it?

The gentleman of the school and the people who have a better family background and send their children to the school are going crazy, is there any reason for this?

I know more, and it is said that the people in Gu Tiancheng's family are literate, and they have secret skills.

Those who are interested in the courier, as well as those who yearn for literacy, begin to dig out their minds to figure out how to get the secret technique, and there are also those who secretly find connections to buy the secret technique.

As a result, Liu Qiyuan, who was in charge of this matter, did not hide his secrets at all, as long as an acquaintance asked, he would tell him. Their literacy is not a secret skill, but a piece of paper with the names of streets and alleys written on them, and they can remember them by looking at them more and recognizing them more.

It's just that the ink and paper of others are not given for free, two pennies for a piece of paper, and you can buy a full set for ten pennies.

Unified price, looking for Liu Qiyuan and gangsters to buy, all at this price.

There are really a lot of people who are willing to spend this money, and the effect is also leveraged.

As long as you take a little effort and read it according to the prompts for a few days, you will really recognize the words on the paper.

In just a few days, the people of Muliang Town have consciously raised their level of cultural knowledge, and even among the markets, there are fewer people who defecate and quarrel with foul language.

Lian Qiaozhen and Kang Hao came back a few days late.

To go to Yishui County, you must pass through the wharf of Muliang Town. After the two of them got off the boat and walked for a short time, they noticed that the atmosphere around them seemed to be a little different.

In just a short way, I have seen three or two people holding paper together, reading the words on it with care, and discussing different contents on different papers with each other.

When the two first arrived in Tongzhou, they had a very unpleasant quarrel because of their disagreement. Although there were a few days of buffering and mutual concessions, there was still some discomfort.

But in the face of such a strange situation, the two looked at each other in unison. The flashing in the eyes of the two is also very uniform and inexplicable.

It's only been a few days since they left, what happened to the people in Muliang Town?

When he saw the same situation the third time, Kang Hao didn't even have the heart to greet the carriage that had already arrived in front of him, so he stepped up.

These are three half-sized children who have nothing to do with reading and literacy, and their snot has not been wiped off, so they gather together and gather around a big rock.

There were two pieces of paper on the stone very carefully, and there were words on the paper, but Kang Hao didn't recognize them.

But the three boys were very skillful and pointed to the handwriting on their side:

"Look at me, it's written at No. 16, Row 3, Qingyan Lane, Zhongta Street."

"Yes, yes, these are the words, mine is Shangta Street, these two words are Tower and Street, the same word."

Not to be outdone, the other boy pointed to another place and said, "There are alleys, rows and numbers, and numbers, which are repeated in many places, and they are read and written the same." ”

The three of them cheered together: "Yes, yes, in this way, we really know how to read." ”

Kang Hao was dumbfounded, the words written on those pieces of paper ...... He didn't know anyone who was on an errand in the Yamen, how did these people and these children learn?

Just when Kang Hao couldn't come back to his senses, two other people also stopped behind the three boys.

One of the old men opened his mouth and asked the three and a half children gently: "The paper in the hands of the three little brothers, can you give the old man a look?" ”

Kang Hao looked at it, and his face instantly stiffened.

He knew this old man, a celebrity in Yanpu Town, an official of the former dynasty, and Qin Rui, the head of the Qin family.

The three boys looked back in unison, and saw an old man in a robe, with a kind face, and a well-worn turban, which looked like a person of status.

The older one of the leaders picked up his piece of paper, handed it over, and reminded: "Be careful, this is bought for two pennies, it's expensive." ”

"Yes, old decay must be careful." The old man smiled and nodded, took the paper and quickly swept it, turned his head and asked a young man beside him, "Do you recognize this trace?" ”

The young man had already looked at the old man's hand, heard the old man's question, and looked at the other one spread on the stone, and said with certainty: "It should be the handwriting of the eldest brother." ”

The old man was noncommittal, and when he returned the paper to the half-sized child, he asked, "How do you write different contents on the paper you recognize, and do you have other contents?" ”

"Yes," the younger one replied, "there are five in total, and they are all the names of the streets and alleys of our Muliang Town." If you buy them all, it will cost five cents. The three of us talked about grinding at home, so we scraped together four articles and bought two. ”

"Oh," the old man agreed, and discussed, "I'll give the three little brothers ten wen, you go and buy all five of them, how about giving me these two?" ”

"Really?" The three boys almost jumped up.

The old man nodded at a small guy behind him, who stepped forward, counted out ten copper plates from his money bag, and handed them to the boy who was stunned by the good things that fell from heaven.

The old man put away the two pieces of paper, Zheng overlapped them, nodded at Kang Hao, and left with his son and the little servant.

Kang Hao, who came back to his senses, hurriedly grabbed the older boy, handed out a copper plate, and asked, "What are the names of streets and alleys written on these pieces of paper for?" Why are you spending money on this? ”

"You don't know?" The boy was astonished.

"I don't know, I went out on an errand for more than ten days, and it didn't seem to be like this at that time." Kang Hao said.

"That's it, no wonder......" The three boys explained in a chatter, not only Kang Hao understood, but even Qiao Zhen, who was not far from them, also heard it clearly.
