A number of ministers of civil and military affairs stood up one after another to express their approval.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it with a smile, if it were other emperors, I am afraid that he would be suspicious of the Taisun Party, but Zhu Yuanzhang hoped that everyone would support the Taisun Party.

"Okay, eldest grandson, tell me more about how this post station should work."

Zhu Xiongying nodded and said, "It's not difficult. ”

"Take Ying Tianfu as an example, suppose that the first day of each month is the day when the people's letters and items are mailed!"

"Then we can divide the area into southeast, northwest, and northwest, and the post station will be divided into southeast, northwest, and letter delivery."

"For example, facing south, there is a post station in Suzhou Prefecture, and the post station is divided into southeast, northwest, and northwest."

"A post station only needs to pass the letter to the next post station in different categories, and then continue to pass it outside from the next post station."

"From the point into a network, then the national post station network can be built soon."

"In addition, there will be several post guards at each post station to supervise each other, and it also avoids people from filling their pockets with mixed eyes, and when the letter arrives at the destination, let the local people come to claim it, and the person who receives the letter can receive the letter with money, or the person who delivers the letter, pay when the letter is sent."

"In this way, the whole context is built."

"As for whether the money is in the tax department or the post station, this household department still needs to calculate carefully."

The people present are all important ministers of the court, and they are not fools, on the contrary, they are all extremely smart.

Zhu Xiongying's words are not obscure, most of them are easy to understand, and if you say it just now, these people will be able to understand it.

In fact, what Zhu Xiongying is talking about is the very developed logistics system in later generations.

After listening to this, everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up.

Zhan Hui said: "His Royal Highness Taisun's words are really feasible, but the minister still has a question, how does the court collect money?" ”

With this question, everyone instantly looked at Zhu Xiongying.

The previous issues are all the issues they care about, but the most concerned is the problem of money!

Now that the court is short of money, everyone understands it clearly!

His Royal Highness Taisun is also a master who can use money extremely well.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang was holding a porcelain cup, drinking tea while looking at Zhu Xiongying.

Zhu Xiongying thought for a while: "If you borrow it, I won't talk about it, I will mainly talk about how to collect postal freight." ”

As he spoke, Zhu Xiongying took out a piece of paper with the word 'post' written on it.

Everyone looked at Zhu Xiongying with some curiosity, and they didn't know what he was going to do at this time.

In later generations, the express delivery industry replaced the dart bureau, which indeed began in the late Ming Dynasty, and in the late Ming Dynasty, there were special court postmen, who were porters who delivered letters.

However, it is private, and there are very few government-run ones.

Zhu Xiongying took the postage paper and said to everyone: "This voucher is lonely and will call him stamps, sending stamps, we can classify them, each stamp sets mileage, according to the length of the mileage, the price is not necessarily too high." ”

"Well, three or five cents, the upper limit is no more than ten cents!"

Zhao Mian frowned a little: "So little? Is it enough for the cost of post labor, mules and horses, and the cost of the post station? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhao Mian and was very satisfied, you Zhao Mian is too little, can the people still be too expensive? is so close to the people, it is good for the people, this is good!

Zhu Xiongying smiled casually: "Zhao Aiqing is just considering that the price of a letter is low, so does Zhao Aiqing know how big the base of Ying Tianfu is?" Not to mention anything else, when it comes to the spring and autumn season, the number of letters sent in a day should be counted in 100,000, so how much is it converted into a day? A few thousand taels of silver, right? What about a month? Thirty thousand taels, right? ”

"Daming is a big place, what about so many state capitals? How much does it cost in a month? Three and a half million taels is less, right? ”

A series of rhetorical questions directly made everyone's cheeks begin to stiffen with shock!

Hiss!

Hearing this, everyone present gasped violently.

A group of people looked at Zhu Xiongying dumbfounded, wanting to speak and stopping, not knowing what to say at all, except for shock, or shock!

This seemingly inconspicuous small business, which can even be said to be an absolute profiteering, can make so much money?

The most important thing is that the imperial court is still a move to benefit the people!

His Royal Highness, how did this brain grow?

Can you even think of this?

The expressions of a group of civil and military ministers froze, and they were silent for a long time, digesting, absorbing, and calming down the shocking mood!

……

After the morning meeting, Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy, and his face was full of red.

When I eat at noon, I can't help but have two drinks.

"Eldest grandson, the open post station you said is for the people to use, it is really a policy to benefit the people, we like it very much!"

Zhu Xiongying smiled and asked, "Grandpa, do you think this matter is considered a commercial act?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang wrinkled his eyebrows and pondered, and after a while, he shook his head with a serious expression: "No, at most it can be regarded as sophistication." ”

"Look at today's ordinary people, if they ask people to bring letters to other places, they will give them some bacon, eggs and other gifts, and now they are just a few pennies to the imperial court!"

"Where is this business? Where is there a child in a different place who doesn't miss his father? It's just to help them get what they want. ”

This is not what Zhu Yuanzhang and he see this way, but the people of the world, and even dignitaries, they all think so.

What kind of business is this? This is everyone's favorite people's sophistication, when there was a war in the past, it was necessary to ask the people of ten miles and eight towns to bring a letter home to report safety.

How difficult is it in this day and age to bring letters back to a foreign land?

Who is not grateful for being able to carry letters to others? Even if it is an enemy army, when they see these porters with letters, they will not kill them easily, which is a move that loses the hearts of the people.

It can be seen that if this policy is achieved, how grateful will the people be to him Zhu Yuanzhang, the imperial court, and the emperor's grandson who led all this?

Why is Zhu Yuanzhang so happy? In addition to money, Zhu Yuanzhang has more profound and more other things to consider!

"Grandpa!" Zhu Xiongying said with a smile, "As long as this policy is implemented, as long as the people send things in the future, they will think of you!" ”

Thousands of wears, but sycophants don't wear.

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth.

The old man was happy, and Zhu Xiongying was also happy.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and smiled, and suddenly looked at Zhu Xiongying and sighed lightly.

"Grandpa, what's wrong?"

Zhu Xiongying was stunned, why was the old man suddenly unhappy?

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiongying and said slowly: "Big grandson, it's hard for you!" ”

Zhu Xiongying was a little confused.

Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "Actually, we have seen your recital today, and the last time you fainted from exhaustion, it was just to write this, right?" ”

Zhu Xiongying: "......"

He was indeed writing this when he fainted, but it was because he was too focused to notice that the body was overloaded.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiongying's eyes full of pity, and said, "Eldest grandson, do you know how important you are to us?" ”

"Grandpa really doesn't know how to live without you, so ......"

Zhu Yuanzhang rarely showed his weak side: "So, just beg you, grandfather, you must take good care of your body in the future, okay?" ”

"Grandpa can't live without you, Daming can't live without you!"
