Chapter 216: There are many people going to Songtao
For the convenience of work, Su Baiya still lives in the company most of the time.
The night of returning to the company had fallen, and when she got out of the carriage, Uncle Ge greeted her and handed her a letter, which was sent from Songtao, so it must be Pu Wu.
The content of the letter is that the shop is almost ready, and it only needs to send the guys and goods over to officially open for business, and at the same time invite Su Baiya to the house for a gathering.
Because of the farce a few days ago, there was still a little estrangement between the Pu family and the Pu family, and Su Baiya felt that she still responded to this invitation to go to Songtao to ease the relationship between the two families.
At the same time, she is not only visiting the Pu family, but also has her own things to do on this trip.
Because several shops in Songtao opened, a large number of goods needed to be prepared, so they could only find a caravan to transport them.
Without further ado, as soon as the sky dawned the next day, Su Baiya went to Qulan Town to find a few caravans that could transport goods.
As soon as she heard that she was going to Songtao, she didn't ask how many goods she was transporting, and the starting price was ten taels of silver, according to a rough estimate, it would take a few hundred taels of silver to load all the goods, which was too cost-effective.
In the end, Su Baiya simply returned to the village and instructed the people of the Propaganda Department to spread the news that the company was going to rent an ox cart.
An ox cart plus a person who drove the cart paid ten cents a day, and at the same time, the dry food company on the road came out, and finally used a few days of ox carts to settle the expenses for a few days.
The cost of ten wen a day seems not to be high, but Su Baiya took the carriage for five days last time to reach Songtao, the pace of the ox cart is slow, it is estimated that it will take about a month to go back and forth, plus the unloading and other hours.
At the same time, he also managed the food of one person, and calculated that the income was at least more than half a tael of silver.
When it came to the next ring, there were many people with ox carts waiting outside the company.
They asked the people around the Propaganda Department to ask: "Is Mr. Su really going to transport goods to Songtao this time?" ”
The person from the Propaganda Department explained: "Of course, can Mr. Su's own words be fake? If you want to go, you can register first. ”
"I'm going to go, but can I bring two more people, but don't worry, we are responsible for the food of the other two people, and we won't cause trouble to the company?"
"We didn't mean anything else, we just wanted to take our family out and see."
The villagers asked expectantly.
"I don't know about this, I have to ask Mr. Su to know" The people from the Propaganda Department can't pay attention to it.
At this time, Su Baiya walked out and said with a smile: "There is no problem, but I can say ugly things in front, if something happens along the way, such as getting lost or something, don't trouble me." ”
The villagers smiled when they saw Su Baiya's promise: "Don't worry, Mr. Su, we will take care of ourselves, and we will definitely not delay Mr. Su's affairs." ”
In fact, the villagers of the two villages are now growing fruits, mushrooms and rice, and many people are working in the company, so they can't afford to earn half a tael of silver.
What the villagers value is to be able to follow Su Baiya to Songtao, enter the city to see the world, and there is money to be made, so why not?
In the end, no one asked about the salary, everything was what they needed to bring, and an ox cart could carry a few people at most.
Now that the rice has just been planted in the field, there are not many things to deal with, and some people even ask if they can follow the company's convoy without pulling goods or wages!
I took this trip as a tour.
Su Baiya thought that the villagers were willing to follow her out of the house, which also believed her, so she agreed one by one.
Because there were a lot of goods to be transported, Su Baiya instructed the villagers to drive the ox cart to the company and instructed the men to load the cart overnight.
Su Baiya didn't go to rest, and when she watched the guys stacking the goods on the ox cart, she suddenly realized that she would definitely develop the trade to all parts of the country in the future, and she would inevitably need to transport goods frequently.
It is not convenient or difficult to manage the villagers' ox carts every time, so when you are free, you can set up a freight department or something to be responsible for distributing goods to each branch.
In the early stage, the freight department does not need to be too big, it is probably enough to have ten ox carts, and then expand the freight department according to the needs of buying and selling in the future.
Because there were a lot of goods to be loaded, not only masks, flowers, and flower tea, but also rice and rice that had been husked, it took a whole day to load all the goods onto the ox cart.
Of course, the sales of the mask are exclusive, but the sales of flowers require people with certain experience, so Su Baiya chose to cooperate with the Pu family, and Pu Wu came out of the team, and the final sales were three or seven points, and Su Baiya's side was seven.
Rice and rice Su Baiya's current plan is to take a look at the situation first, and if the sales are smooth, it will be exclusive, otherwise it will give up a certain profit to cooperate with Songtao's grain store.
Because Su Li complained a lot, she didn't go far away, and she didn't even go out of Qinghuai County.
So Su Baiya brought Su Li with him this time, because there were too many people who set off this time, and a large number of goods were escorted, Su Baiya counted half of the people in the security department among the candidates to go to Songtao
For the sake of insurance, Su Baiya also borrowed a twenty-letter family from Ruan Ruiyi, who was actually a thug of Fuyun Building, and many people were familiar with Ruan Er and others.
The night before departure, Su Baiya gathered all the villagers who were escorting the ox cart and the villagers who wanted to follow them to Songtao for a "tour".
The team was somewhat large, with a total of forty-eight ox carts carrying goods, and twelve ox carts that followed along.
Su Baiya first said some precautions, as well as the disclaimer clause.
Probably this trip is voluntary, once something happens on the road, don't come to the company's trouble.
Of course, Su Baiya will not be so ruthless, if there is really something that can be helped, she still has to help, but she has to say ugly things and have less trouble in front.
In the end, the fifty taels of ox carts were divided into ten groups, and the people who happened to guard the department and the Ruan family's family added up to twenty people, and the two were in charge of one group.
If there is anything in the group, notify the person in charge and relay it to her if necessary.
The next day, the official departure began.
Fifty ox carts, more than 100 people walking on the road are very eye-catching, Su Baiya is the first time to travel with so many people, and her heart is a little bottomless, so she is on the official road all the way.
Because of the large number of people, it must be unrealistic to stay overnight or stay in a guest house, and the plan is to find a leeward or spacious open space to stop and rest wherever it gets dark along the way.
According to the location on the map, the first day of walking about 60 miles, has been walking at this pace, it will take about 10 days to reach Songtao, but it is also in the plan.
