Chapter 221: The whole territory of Yizhou will be reached the next day

With the cooperation of the officials of the Yizhou Post Station, the material support of the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce, and the continuous delivery of horses from the Youzhou Branch, the construction and expansion of the Yizhou Post Station was very fast.

Yizhou is a county.

Liu Ba is discussing with Chen, the head of the branch of Jianwei County, on the second floor of the branch how to carry out the construction and expansion of the post station in Jianwei County.

"Lord Liu, Lord Hou of Hanzhong has already begun to mobilize materials to Jianwei County before spring ploughing, and the production base of Jianwei County is also in full production. There is now a large amount of red brick and cement stored in the club's warehouse. ”

Shopkeeper Chen is reporting to Liu Ba on the preparation of materials for the county.

Before Liu Ba came to Jianwei County, he knew that Lin Chuan had already mobilized a large number of red bricks and cement from the production base in Hanzhong for the construction of the new post station and the expansion of the old post station.

"Shopkeeper Chen, you are doing a good job, so how is the recruitment of craftsmen?"

After learning about the preparation of materials, Liu Ba began to ask about the craftsman of Chen's shopkeeper.

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Chen hurriedly said:

"Please rest assured, Lord Liu has recruited a large number of craftsmen, if you find that there are not enough people in the process of construction, Lord Liu can inform you at any time, and you will soon find all the manpower for Lord Liu!"

Liu Ba was even more satisfied when he heard this, and said to the shopkeeper Chen with a smile:

"It's hard to be in charge, it seems that the construction of the post station in Jianwei County will be completed by the end of this year."

After hearing Liu Ba's praise, Shopkeeper Chen said very happily:

"Lord Liu has won the award, and the people of Yizhou heard that the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce was going to recruit craftsmen, so they all rushed to sign up, and I kept the most experienced and strongest craftsmen."

The actual situation is indeed as Chen said, when Lin Chuan hired the people of Hanzhong to build a cement straight road, the people involved in the road construction were treated very well.

Not only will two free meals be provided, but after the project is completed, there will be the privilege of purchasing goods from the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce with silver and reserve price.

In all subsequent projects, Lin Chuan recruited craftsmen based on this standard, and the same was true for all Hanzhong branches.

Liu Ba was also very happy to hear what the shopkeeper Chen said, and he always remembered what Lin Chuan had said to himself about the purpose of the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce:

Take it from the people, use it for the people!

Under the constraints of Liu Ba, the local chapters have indeed done this, and the key county branches are no exception.

After the shopkeeper Chen and Liu Ba discussed the preparations, the two came to a leveled land together.

This level of land is where a new post station will be built.

Liu Ba was very careful when choosing the address to build a new post station, and all the new post stations should be next to the main road in each county, and it was also the widest main road.

The original post station of thirty miles has now been changed to a post station of fifteen li, and the number of post stations in Yizhou will double after the construction of the new post station is completed.

"Shopkeeper Chen, tomorrow we will arrange the craftsmen to the selected post station address, start the construction of the new post station, and strive to complete the construction before winter!"

Liu Ba and Shopkeeper Chen looked at the location of several new post stations in succession, and after finding that there was no change from the original location, Liu Ba instructed Shopkeeper Chen.

"Okay, Lord Liu, this branch will notify all the craftsmen in the future."

Then Liu Ba and Chen returned to the Jianwei County branch again, Liu Ba came to the inn on the third floor of the branch to rest, and Chen arranged for his men to inform the craftsmen to start work tomorrow.

The next morning, all the craftsmen came to the Jianwei County Branch.

Shopkeeper Chen had already arranged a carriage full of cement and red bricks, and then distributed the tools to each craftsman.

"Fellow villagers in Yizhou, everyone works hard, and the remuneration that I said before will not be less!"

Before the craftsmen went to their respective construction sites, the shopkeeper Chen said to the craftsmen again.

After hearing the words of the shopkeeper Chen, everyone laughed:

"I am very relieved about the work of the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce!"

"Yes, if it weren't for the work of the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce, I would definitely not come!"

"Shopkeeper Chen, don't worry, we know it!"

Shopkeeper Chen listened to everyone's assurances, and he was also smiling happily.

After all, this time it was a task ordered by King Wei and the Marquis of Hanzhong, and Lord Liu personally supervised it, so Shopkeeper Chen didn't want to make the slightest mistake in this matter.

After the craftsmen arrived at their respective construction sites, they began to build the post station non-stop.

All of a sudden, a group of craftsmen working hard to build a post station could be seen on the entire main road of Jianwei County.

Liu Ba was not idle after the craftsmen started work.

In addition to going to various construction sites every day to check the progress, it is to go to the original post station to see the progress of the expansion.

The expansion of the existing post station was relatively easy, and Liu Ba returned to the county after checking that it was correct.

"Lord Xing, now that the construction of the new post station and the expansion of the old post station have started simultaneously, I wonder how the post guards on Lord Xing's side have arranged?"

Liu Ba came to the mansion of the official surnamed Xing, who was in charge of the Jianwei County Post Station, and asked about the progress of the post guard's arrangement.

"Hahaha, I'm about to report to Lord Liu, the post guard has been arranged, and when the new post station is completed, it can be taken over directly, and it will be ready for operation immediately!"

Liu Ba nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and left with a smile.

In the autumn of the nineteenth year of Jian'an.

Under the careful supervision of Liu Ba and the full cooperation of everyone, a total of 128 post stations were built in Yizhou, and all the original post stations were expanded.

Today's Yizhou post station is significantly different from the post stations in other states and counties of Great Wei.

First of all, in terms of scale, the scale of Yizhou post station is twice as large as that of other states and counties in Great Wei.

The second is that the number of horses and carriages at the Yizhou Post Station has also doubled.

The existing post station and the new post station, the extra part of the cost, are borne by the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce.

And Yizhou Post Station is equivalent to an independent transportation department, when the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce is not in use, it can also undertake the transportation business of some other commercial banks.

This is also an arrangement made by Lin Chuan in order to avoid the officials in the Yizhou Post Station from working more but without oil and water.

As long as the practice of Yizhou Post Station is successful, Lin Chuan can replicate countless Yizhou Post Stations in the entire Great Wei in a short period of time, so Lin Chuan does not feel sorry for this early investment.

Before this winter comes, it is the time to test the results of Yizhou Station.

According to the plan after Lin Chuan and Liu Ba repeatedly discussed, the current Yizhou Post Station can already do it, and within Yizhou, no matter the number of goods, it can be transported from one county to another within one day!
