In the eighth year of Chongzhen, April 20.

Nanzhili, Yangzhou Mansion, on a main road leading to Harbour City.

A logistics caravan with thirty-eight four-wheeled carriages was heading eastward at a pace that was neither fast nor slow.

Directly in front of the caravan, a sturdy man rode on a white horse, holding a bamboo pole in his hand and a banner with the words "Tiancheng Logistics" written on it, which was quite eye-catching.

This man is Li Zicheng, no, Li Yecheng.

The logistics caravan behind him belongs to the "Tiancheng Logistics and Transportation Team" that he and his brothers co-founded, which has been established for more than half a year, with only eight four-wheeled carriages at the beginning, and then increased to eighteen, twenty-eight and now thirty-eight - three expansions in a relatively short period of time, from a small logistics transportation team to a medium-sized transportation team, with the strength to transport up to 2,000 stone materials at a time.

Since its establishment, it has run more than 20 orders, as short as three or five days, as long as half a month, and the transportation distance ranges from dozens of miles to hundreds of miles, but it has not made any money.

The main reason is that those old brothers spend too much money, live in high-end inns at every turn, order good wine and meat at every turn, and can't eat half a point, and other expenses are also lavish, plus the logistics caravan has expanded many times, so they can't save money.

You can only eat the old books left over from before.

However, the old book is limited, and they all went back to find the more than 20 locations on the treasure map, some of which are still there, and some have been dug up, and after all of them are sold, they get a total of more than 97,000 silver dollars in cash.

It was replaced by 38 rubber-tired four-wheeled carriages (2,000 silver dollars per vehicle).

I bought another 100 healthy horses (100 silver dollars per horse).

I also bought a good-looking and fashionable outfit for the old brothers.

In addition, in the past half a year, I have not been wronged for a day of high-consumption life.

And then...... The money is spent.

There was almost no money left in the cash on his body, and everyone was very surprised, except for Li Zicheng, who was in charge of the accounts.

At this time, Li Zicheng called all the old brothers together and said to them in a serious tone: "Brothers, the floating wealth in hand has been spent, we should take care of it, it is time to go to business, and if we go down so big, we will taste the taste of hunger."

"Business?"

Liu Zongmin immediately became excited: "Big brother, I have set my sights on a big household in Bozhou, and its defense can only be described as extremely loose, a mansion covering an area of dozens of acres, there are few gatekeepers, the courtyard wall is very low, and the head of the household is very stingy, which has aroused the hatred of countless people in the local area.

Gao Yigong also said: "The last time I passed by Guide Mansion, I also noticed a big official, who had just resigned from the capital and returned to his hometown, there were more than 200 carriages transporting property, I don't know how much money he was greedy for, if we can take down this corrupt official, big brother, we may not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of our lives."

Liu Fangliang said: "That's right, big brother, there has been no chaos in the Central Plains for two years, and so many fat sheep have popped up all of a sudden, which shows that the common people are living a miserable life, and they urgently need someone to administer justice for them, and someone needs to take them to do great things, and if we don't do this kind of thing, who dares to do it?" We don't take the lead, who leads? This logistics or something, it's just a waste of life, let's sell the transport team quickly, this is not a proper business!"

Hear these words from them.

Li Zicheng was so depressed that he was about to vomit blood.

It's the other way around.

What he wanted to say was that these old brothers had all reversed, and none of them understood his good intentions.

"If you talk about rebellion, do you have the ability to break into the king (Gao Yingxiang)? King Chuang is planted in the hands of the court, how can you think that you will be more powerful than King Chuang, and finally take away the Ming Dynasty, how sure do you have to succeed?" Li Zicheng asked with a dark face.

"Big brother, how dare I think so far, I just want to get more money."

"That's right, I don't have the certainty of sitting on the country, but the certainty of getting a lot of money is not only there, but it's also great!"

"It's a big deal that when the imperial court begins to encircle and suppress, bury all the treasures, scatter everywhere to hide from the limelight, and when the limelight passes, the money that is enough to eat for a lifetime will belong to us."

Liu Zongmin and others are smart.

The thief's nature will not change, the thief's nature will not change.

Li Zicheng felt very helpless, although what these old brothers said was right, and what they said was very reasonable, but can this thief be a thief for a lifetime?

It's luck not to get caught once or twice.

Three times five times is strength.

But more than a dozen times dozens of times to get off the rails, there will always be a time to miss, this is called often walking by the river, how can there be no wet shoes.

No one can guarantee that their luck will always be good, and their strength will always be strong.

That's really a path that can't go on forever.

Li Zicheng had to patiently do their ideological work and said, "Since ancient times, have you ever seen a person who has gone astray and gone down the wrong path, and in the end can have a good end? Can you be a thief for a lifetime? What happens when we can't lift the knife? What happens when we have children? Shall they follow our old path? Although it is hard to run logistics and deliver goods, it can be done for a long time, and you can do it with a solid heart, and you don't have to be afraid every day, and you can feed your wife and children without fighting with a knife, which is the real right thing."

"Look at that Xu Jiazhuang, did they develop it by stealing and robbing? Do they need to hide their heads and not show their true colors? Do they need to worry that their children will not inherit wealth? No, Xujiazhuang has come to this point in a dignified manner, we don't learn from Xujiazhuang, but from the king who has been Ling Chi, how unwise it is."

Li Zicheng shook his head again and again.

"Big brother, what you said makes sense, but I'm not the material for business, what should I do?" Liu Zongmin said with a distressed face.

"If you don't have a business mind, you will work harder, and I will do it in terms of management, and I will invigorate our transport fleet and find a way to make a lot of money." Lee became a self-enlightened man.

"Big brother, I support you!"

At this time, Tian Jianxiu said: "Brothers, the eldest brother has worked hard, after all, it is for our good, it is better to give the eldest brother a chance, follow the eldest brother to work hard for a year, if you can make money, continue to work, if you are tired and tired and have no money to earn, then how to live chic, what do you think?"

Gao Yigong nodded: "Yes, I think I can."

The other brothers also said that they were willing to work with the eldest brother for a year without complaints, but if they didn't work, they had to listen to them.

"Okay, one year at a time, I'll convince you!"

Li Zicheng nodded and accepted the one-year appointment.

……

After the minds of all the caravans are unified.

Li Zicheng began to rack his brains, wanting to run the logistics caravan well and improve the profitability of the transportation team.

How can you be highly profitable?

There are three ways: to deliver high-value goods, to take orders over long distances, and to run orders in dangerous and volatile areas.

If you go to a far away and very turbulent area, and transport high-value goods, and meet all three, wouldn't you make a lot of money with one order?

And there is such a list, but if there is no caravan with a certain strength, I am afraid that they will not dare to take this kind of order, but Li Zicheng has the guts!

Soon.

Li Zicheng took his Tiancheng logistics transportation team to Hunan Road, which was more than 2,000 miles away, and shipped 2,000 stones of manganese ore from Tanzhou, and then took more than 2,000 miles by water and land, and it took nearly two months before and after, and finally transported this batch of manganese ore to Yangzhou Prefecture and was about to be sent to the final destination Haigang City.

Because there are many bandits in Hunan, and there are many water bandits in the rivers and lakes.

Along the way, Li Zicheng and the others repelled more than 30 bandits and bandits, killing more than 50 people, and only a few of them were slightly injured.

encountered seven or eight checkpoints set up by the government, but after pulling out the saber and reporting the name of Xujiazhuang, there was no checkpoint to dare to stop, saving a lot of customs clearance costs.

April 20th, afternoon.

Under the warm sunset, the incomparably magnificent and modern harbor city appeared in front of Li Zicheng and others.

left an indelible impression on their minds, and they were all dumbfounded.

"Is this our mortal city? Everywhere it was glowing, like a pile of gold and silver treasures, nay, cleaner and more beautiful than gold and silver treasures." Liu Zongmin sighed.

"The Xu family manors I saw earlier are already very big and beautiful, all of them are fat and oily, I didn't expect the real Xu family village to be like this." A high level of merit.

"The rich people and fat sheep in here are hard to count, but unfortunately there is no million army in hand, if you can capture it, you will not have to worry about food and clothing for ten or a hundred lifetimes." Liu Fangliang said with arrogant thoughts.

"Don't think about it, not to mention a million army, it's useless to have an army of three million, it's not a fat sheep living here, it's a strong dragon, you can easily destroy us, stop dreaming." Liu Zongmin, who has always liked to talk about fat sheep, is extremely sober at the moment.

Gao Yigong nodded: "If Xujiazhuang is not strong, it is impossible for us to draw a knife to scare it, and those officials will obediently let it go, which shows that Xujiazhuang is strong, so that those officials who are regarded by the people as tigers and wolves are afraid."

Li Zicheng said solemnly: "It is not necessarily okay to go against the imperial court, if you go against Xu Jiazhuang, you will definitely die, you are all honest, and when you enter the harbor city, no one can act recklessly, otherwise something happens, I can't protect you."

"Yes, big brother."

……

The next day.

It took a lot of work.

Enter Harbour City.

Successfully delivered all the 2,000 manganese ore, and Li Zicheng got the reward for this mission: 12,000 silver dollars.

After deducting all aspects of expenses and costs, the net profit is about 8,000 silver dollars.

Divided by the 134 members of the caravan, the per capita income of this trip was nearly sixty silver dollars.

If this kind of task is run five times a year, then each person can earn about 300 silver dollars.

Even if the other 121 members have fewer points, and their 13 old brothers have more points, it is estimated that it will be a thousand silver dollars a year.

But for this number, Liu Zongmin, Gao Yigong and other caravan members couldn't help but pout, feeling disdainful, they had worked hard for a year to earn so much, and there was really no future for doing the right thing.

Li Zicheng said in a deep voice: "Now we are still small, the profit is not big, if we continue to increase investment, take out loans to buy more four-wheeled carriages, and make the scale to 100, 300, 500 or even 1,000 vehicles, we will make a lot of money, just our thirteen old brothers, each of us can earn at least 10,000 silver dollars per year, you believe me, three years, no, within two years, I will definitely lead you to achieve this goal!"

Liu Zongmin and the others were silent, or shook their heads slightly, they were not particularly optimistic.

Li Zicheng went to Tianxiatong Bank on the same day, and asked for a loan of 100,000 silver dollars to buy 50 tires-tired four-wheeled carriages.
