Of course, Yuan Changhe knew that he was blessed, very blessed. was snorted by the girl, didn't feel embarrassed at all, and still reminded with a smile: "Don't you shout that you have something to say in the morning?" I've got time now, what's the matter, let's talk about it. ”

"Hmm." Yuan Dongchu did have something to say.

Gu Tiancheng was surprised: "Is there really something?" Is it about river transport? Or is it a letter bureau? ”

"Letter Bureau," Yuan Dongchu said, "the river transport can only come and go normally now, just do it step by step, and don't fight for a while." ”

The information bureau is an emerging industry, and it is necessary to spread out the network on both sides of the river as soon as possible to occupy the largest market share.

And now is the autumn season, which should be the golden time for the delivery industry. From now until the end of the year, the mansions have the most etiquette.

As long as you build up your credibility and help the rich give you a list of gifts, I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it and make a lot of money.

If the business is booming and your own ship is not enough, it is suitable to rent a boat.

Gu Tiancheng continued to be surprised: "Is there still a solar term in the letter bureau? ”

"That's it." Yuan Dongchu said it as a matter of course, and he and Gu Tiancheng found another place to sit down.

She explained: "Seeing that it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, we used to sell wild vegetables, and I heard from the descendants of rich families that mansions similar to them have the habit of giving gifts. When it comes to big festivals, all relatives, friends, classmates and bosses who are close to the main family will try their best to send some gifts. In this regard, our Chengyun delivery is very advantageous. ”

Yuan Changhe was stunned: "During the New Year's Festival, don't everyone give more filial piety to their parents?" If siblings live close to each other, they will move around more on weekdays and exchange courtesies. Like our Yanpu Town and Tongzhou Mansion are so far away, who would spend money to entrust people, and explore the mountains and seas to bring things to friends and relatives? ”

Gu Tiancheng knew something, but he still scratched his head: "It is common for friends to pay a visit at the end of the year, with gifts and return gifts." As for the carriage and horses walking far away, it was the business of the rich and powerful, and they had their own servants...... I'm not very good at that. ”

When they buy boats, aren't they in the river transport business?

Of course, the letter bureau is also very good, Chengyun delivery is done all over the river, not only can you make money by delivery, but also can take care of each other with the rudder in the future.

It can be said that the letter bureau is another business project of the river transport rudder.

But to help deliver gifts to other places or something, but also to catch the Mid-Autumn Festival and many subsequent festivals, this ...... Is it really needed?

Yuan Dongchu wouldn't laugh at their lack of knowledge.

In ancient times, it would be good to be able to fill their stomachs. There are also etiquettes that must be taken, just like parents, which must be offered for filial piety. Even if you tighten your belt and deduct your own rations, you have to give this part too.

As for brothers, sisters, relatives and friends, they all come and go, and they all do what they can.

Similar to which family has a child, send a few eggs and a packet of brown sugar. People also have a return gift, and a few red eggs are also considered to be reciprocated.

When you meet good relatives and friends and neighbors for a happy event, at most you will give a ruler, or a few strings of money, even if you have all the gifts.

Correspondingly, the so-called eating table is not so particular. It is all served in a large bowl of dishes, and the staple food is paired with a few small dishes, which is also a grand event for the poor people.

Usually in this case, it is the adults who grit their teeth and feel pain, and the children are happy and happy.

Do you want to send gifts to distant places during the holidays? …… I'm sorry, we poor people don't fix those vain things.

In ancient times, information and transportation were extremely underdeveloped, and in some places it took a month or two to travel by land. Everyone can't even eat enough, and they are crazy to do this kind of thing.

Wealthy families have the habit of giving gifts, but they all arrange for their own stewards and subordinates to be transported by carts and horses, and rush from one place to another.

Some people have a lot of valuable things, and for safety, they may hire two dart masters from the dart board.

But this is not understandable to the general public who are struggling on the poverty line.

Facing the confused gazes of the two big men, Yuan Dongchu explained: "This kind of thing is a thing that only big families can do in the past. What we are fighting for now is some people whose families are not wealthy, and it is a bit difficult to deal with these, but they also envy this way of contact. ”

"Oh," Gu Tiancheng heard a little doorway, "Let those who can't afford to send a lot of subordinates and really want to go through this kind of doorway, follow the path of our letter bureau, right?" ”

"Yes," Yuan Dongchu said, "there is another reason, seeing that autumn is on, many people who work, settle down, and do business outside will be willing to report safety to their families and relatives." Letters do not carry much weight, and the delivery cost is low, I believe that many people are willing to try the delivery method of the letter office. If you try it well, you can give us Chengyun delivery and make a name for yourself. ”

Gu Tiancheng nodded again and again: "That's right, that's the reason." ”

He can continue to diverge his thinking: "Even if the rich family and the mansion of the official lord, if you transport a few carts of Boxing gifts, the manpower, carriages and horses, and expenses along the way are also a lot of expenses. Who wants to spend money on it? Use our letter bureau to send a steward and a few subordinates to point out where we can send him and save the old nose silver. ”

Yuan Dongchu nodded again and again, she also meant the same.

The rich and powerful do the same business, not only adding a layer of talismans to themselves, not only from the exploitation of local ruffians and officials, but also to earn more silver, and there are many benefits.

Yuan Changhe sat on the side, looking at this for a while, and looking at that for a while, which was an eye-opener.

He's really old, and he can't keep up with young people's ideas.

"What money have you saved?" Liu Qiyuan saw that the atmosphere here was normal, so he decisively ran over and sat next to Gu Tiancheng to ask questions.

Gu Tiancheng glanced at him, looked around again, and said: "It's really not a matter for us to be like this, it is equivalent to discussing important matters in an open place where people come and go, and being casually heard of as confidential." ”

Liu Qiyuan looked embarrassed when he was said, and said angrily: "Can you be a little particular about what you say, am I a casual person?" ”

Gu Tiancheng's answer was more perfunctory and casual, "Didn't I suddenly remember it and just talk about things." How can we have so much heart. ”

"Don't bother with you!" Everyone said so, and Liu Qiyuan, as his own person, lost his temper.

Yuan Changhe played the role of He Mud, "This is really a matter, it should be considered." I'm going to find a house and prepare to move, Qiyuan, you can also help inquire if there is a suitable one. When we are looking for a house, we should be closer to the pier and find a small courtyard with a larger hall house, and we can use the hall house nearby for daily discussions. ”

"It's for the best." Tiancheng agreed, "And Jingwen's side, he will have a happy event next month, and his marriage will definitely be in the Qin family in Yanpu Town." But Master Qin promised to buy him a small courtyard with two rooms in Muliang Town. I'll ask him again if you two can live next door and take care of the street next door. ”

After talking about the relocation of Yuan and Qin's families, he asked Yuan Dongchu again: "The receipt of this delivery should be returned to Tongzhou as soon as possible, so let's start making preparations." Muliang Town and Yishui County, hand it over to Xiaoman, let him bring a few boys, spread the news that we are going to Tongzhou, there are people with letters and items, this can contact us......"
