Chapter 520 Public Transportation Industry

The emperor's complaints made Liu Mao understand what was going on. It turned out that it was related to disaster relief.

As the emperor said, there are indeed some ordinary people who have not yet reached the end of their lives, which is a situation where they wander on the edge of the end of their lives. For example, if the six people in the family stay at home and rely on the harvest at home, the whole family will not be full and they will all go hungry. But if they ask them to immigrate, they are unwilling to give up. After all, they have not reached the end of their lives. Immigration is a very difficult thing after all. Many people will not take this path unless they have to leave their hometowns. There are really many such families who are on the verge of bankruptcy. If one person is separated from the family, there are only five.

People live on the original harvest, and life will be easier. Although it is a natural disaster and a natural disaster, they can barely survive. In this way, there is no need for all to immigrate. The extra person naturally cannot be abandoned. If you can find a job in a prefecture, county or big city, it is much better than immigrants. How can you go home again a year, and the family can reunite and meet, and there is a place to find it. If you have a promising future, buying land and buying property is unsure. In other words, after a few years, the natural disaster will not be so serious and you can still live. You can go back, which makes you even less want to immigrate.

"Your Majesty's meaning, I understand that Your Majesty wants to transport the unsupported people in your family to the city through post delivery? It's better to do a business or work than to go hungry at home... Alas... This road is really difficult!... Alas... If the people of the world know your Majesty's painstaking efforts, they will cry bitterly... Your Majesty's heart is really good... Your Majesty's great virtue..." Liu Mao himself made up for the emperor's meaning and sighed convincingly.

"It's good that the Liu Qing family understands what I mean, and they are not afraid to tell the truth to the Liu Qing family. Recently, the reports from various places have begun to start very early, so this year will definitely be a drought year. Judging from the current situation, the range of this drought has been greatly affected, and several northern provinces are affected. Except for Shaanxi and Shanxi, it may be quite serious, many places have droughts, but they have not reached the point of severe or unsevere harvest. In other words, production cuts are inevitable, but they are not as unsuccessful as last year, and now the huge migration of millions is like that of Shaanxi.

The way of removing all the people in one place is not suitable for this year's drought situation. This year's natural disaster situation is probably that several places in Shaanxi and Shanxi are out of stock, suitable for large-scale immigration. However, Henan, Shandong, Shuntianfu and other places have reduced production, which means that there are harvests but cannot support so many people, and the population affected is quite scattered. If immigration officials are sent to immigrate, it would be a waste. Moreover, many people are just wandering on the verge of hunger and bankruptcy and may not be willing to immigrate. If forced immigration is not allowed, it is unkind..."

"... Therefore, I came up with this idea. With the advantage of post delivery throughout the world, I used a carriage to connect all the disaster-stricken prefectures and counties in the north, so that those who reduce production due to drought, who are difficult to survive, are unwilling to immigrate, and want to go to the city to do a business or worker to have a way out. This is also the right medicine for the drought this year..." Yang Jing explained again.

"I have been taught... What Your Majesty thinks is really great, I admire it..." After the emperor said this, Liu Mao suddenly realized that no wonder the emperor was so anxious to build a carriage. It turns out that he was the minister and also knew a little about this situation. As the emperor said, if we judge the drought this year based on the early spring and the warm spring, it should be what the emperor said, and some places may be out of harvest, but more of the drought.

, but it never ceased to collect, which was a place where production cuts were reduced. These places were large, but the population was not large enough to be affected, and they were particularly scattered. If you use the previous method of migrants to provide disaster relief, it would be obvious that it would not be worth it. The cost was too high. The solution the emperor came up with was really the right medicine. After the emperor said this, Liu Mao immediately understood why the emperor was so anxious to build a carriage, and even equipped a carriage for post office delivery, and also connected all prefectures and counties in the world.

Yang Jingyidatong's deception, seeing Liu Mao speaking with convincing and seriousness, he knew that he had been deceiving it. Then, the rest should be done.

"It's good that Liu Qing's family can understand it. This is what I said. The reason why the whole world is connected by postal carriages. The bigger the city, the more people will be able to live in business and work. This is also the reason why I said that from towns and counties to counties, to prefectures, to provincial capitals, to capitals, to capitals, to postal carriages. In addition to postal carriages, you can also transport disaster victims with mail. Although you cannot immigrate on a large scale, it will be better for a long time. It is suitable for the current dispersed disaster relief situation... Large immigration and major disaster relief rely on the world's waterways to connect them together to weave a large network for disaster relief. Now, it is time to weave another big network for the world on land with postal carriages to help immigrate. I vow not to give up any of my people, keep their oaths and seek a way out for them..." Yang Jing said happily.

"Woo... I understand. I understand Your Majesty's painstaking efforts. Your Majesty will tell me what to do. I will listen to Your Majesty..." Liu Mao gave the emperor a bold statement and made him cry. While crying, he was also happy in his heart. The emperor had too high accustomed to the office staff, almost as close as Mr. Xu, which made people ecstatic! Of course, on the surface, those who should cry were still crying.

"Then Liu Qing's family, let's take a look. How many carriages are needed to equip the world postal service? " Yang Jingwei asked with amusing.

Liu Mao was so angry that he felt that his fingers and toes were not enough, but he didn't dare to show his timidity in front of the emperor. He could only bite the bullet and count. The world is so big, who knows how many carriages to be equipped with?

"Just the simplest calculation, just connect the two counties, don't think too much..." Yang Jing reminded Liu Mao, who was anxious and sweating profusely.

"...... Go back to Your Majesty, there should be more than a thousand carriages in the world..." This time, Liu Mao was awake and got reminded by the emperor and immediately calculated.

"... More than 300 prefectures should add more than 300 carriages. If you include the two capitals, thirteen provinces, borders, etc., you need to add some extras. It is estimated that four hundred taels are almost the same, and together there are only 1,400 cars..." Liu Mao quickly made it out.

Yang Jing nodded with a smile. This guy is not stupid yet.

"Well, if a carriage comes and a carriage goes, it will have to double it again, how much is it?" Yang Jie reminded again.

"Your Majesty, there should be two thousand and eight hundred vehicles..." Liu Mao replied immediately.

"Yes, some prefectures are thoroughfares, and there are more horse-drawn carriages. There should be four or five thousand postal carriages..." Yang Jing added.

"Reply to Your Majesty, yes, yes..." Liu Mao was sweating in shock. There were too many carriages.

"In addition, from the perspective of your family, how should you charge this carriage?" Yang Jingwei asked again.

"Cash check? This..., go back to Your Majesty... This..." Liu Mao had no other way except sweating.

"Don't you charge money for the Qing family's post delivery? Didn't the Qing family say that the transactions between Beijing and Nanjing are easy to do?" Yang Jing asked with a smile.

"Ah! Your Majesty, this..." This is also considered a transaction? This doesn't count. Who said that those officials are not of sufficient rank and have no major issues to use 700 miles to speed up, so of course he has to collect money.

"I mean, even if this postal carriage is used for disaster relief, it is impossible to prepare a postal carriage system for them in order to provide disaster relief. If it is just to transport disaster victims, how many people can it transport in the past year? Such a cost, I would rather use large immigrants to provide relief. Wouldn't it be better than your postal carriage?" Yang Jingxiong said with a smile.

"This is, Your Majesty is right." Liu Mao was stunned by the emperor before, and wanted to be on par with Xu Guangqi. Now he realized that he could not match him at all and started sweating.

"So, in fact, my idea is the same as the mail item. In addition to transporting disaster victims, more people have to rely on transporting ordinary people to collect some money as subsidies. Otherwise, for the sake of the scattered disaster victims, I will spend so much money. Isn't it a waste to allocate so many carriages and personnel?" Yang Jingxiong said with a smile.

"Your Majesty is right, right." Liu Mao then realized that this was also a paid transaction, and it was the same as his postal items, which was to turn the postal items from objects into humans.

"Just understand. Postal delivery, you can't just rely on me to subsidize the money. You have to find a way to eliminate some deficits by yourself. Do you understand what I mean?" Yang Jing asked with a smile. Now Liu Mao was beginning to be depressed.

"Reply to Your Majesty, I understand that in addition to mailing items, this mail carriage also has to deliver people. In addition to convenient for the victims, it also has to transport ordinary people. Otherwise, the mail carriage will not be handled, and the victims will not be able to come out, which is contrary to Your Majesty's original intention..." Liu Mao immediately found a set of rhetoric for himself and understood the emperor's meaning, that is, to turn the mail into a business. As for transporting the victims, it is just a by-pass.

"The Qing family is smart, and I have no choice. The natural disasters affect the area too wide and have to spend less money, so I have to do this..." Yang Jing smiled and said, "This guy is very sensible."

"The Qing family knows how much it costs to hire a carriage?" Yang Jingwei asked again.

"Your Majesty, I know some. If you hire a carriage, if you leave the city, the time is calculated in a day. The amount is one or two hundred cents, the amount is three or four hundred cents, and some of them cost one or two taels of silver. It depends on the carriage, and the coachman is also worth the score..." Liu Mao, under the pressure of the emperor, had no time to think too much, and he would say anything.

"Oh, one or two hundred cents a day! That is to say, if a postal carriage can transport ten people at a time, each person will spread it equally, and it only costs 10 or twenty cents? How far can that carriage go in a day? What is the general distance between two towns?" Yang Jie asked again.

"When you go back to Your Majesty, it is not a problem to walk a hundred or sixty miles a day. However, the people on this car can't stand it, so you usually have to rest after walking fifty or sixty miles, that is, you can walk two post stations every day. If it is Your Majesty's four-wheeled post carriage, it is safer and faster, and the road is better, it is no problem to walk a hundred or sixty miles a day..." Liu Mao hurriedly replied that this was his strength, and as an official in charge of post delivery, this naturally would not defeat him.

After hearing this, Yang Jie felt that it was not bad. If the carriage could hold fifteen people, the price could be further reduced. If the journey was not too far, for example, between the capital and Tongzhou, I was afraid that it could be done in just three or four cents. This price should be competitive. If it was public transportation in the city, I was afraid that it could be opened for just one cent.

"Yes, is this deal worth doing?" Yang Jingwei said.

Liu Mao looked at the emperor for no reason.

"Are there many people coming and going between the capital and Tongzhou?" Yang Jie asked.

"...... Go to Your Majesty, there are probably a lot of this..." Liu Mao thought for a while and replied that Tongzhou is the end of the Grand Canal, and all the people and things passing by the Grand Canal have to disembark in Tongzhou.

"Oh, the Qing family can send people to the capital and Tongzhou for some days, count how many people there are from the capital to Tongzhou every day, remember them all, and then estimate how many people are willing to make carriages,..." Yang Jing taught this guy.

"This..., I wonder what Your Majesty meant?" Liu Mao asked in confusion.

"Hahaha..." Yang Jing smiled for a while, and this guy is still asking about this now.

"Your family obviously didn't listen to what I said just now!" Yang Jing pretended to be angry.

"Ah! I'm afraid!" Liu Mao was scared to death and did not listen to the emperor's words. This was a very serious matter.

"I just said that every post road in the world cannot make money. It would be good to make money with a few lines. Only by making money can the non-profit routes be used to support those lines that are not profitable. In this way, the post road in the world can be smooth. What I want is a reliable postal system throughout the world. The Qing family himself said just now, what about the money-making between Beijing and Nanjing, so what about the northwest? Do you also make money? If you don't make money, don't you want it? Of course, you share the profits from these lines that make money to support those who don't make money. The Qing family still doesn't understand this?" Yang Jing said again.

"Ah!... I understand. Does Your Majesty mean to use transportation transactions to raise posts all over the world?..." After the emperor's guidance, Liu Mao immediately understood, that is, he must understand even if he doesn't understand.

"Yes, the Qing family is very enlightened. This is also the second point I want to say. In addition to the postal carriages connected between prefectures and counties, I plan to build a public carriage with four-wheeled carriages as a means of transportation..." Yang Jingwei said.

"...Ah! Public carriage? In the city?..." Liu Mao was shocked. What is this?

"It's like in this capital, some people want to go from the east to the west of the city. If they walk, they will have to walk for a long time. It will take too long. If they hire a carriage, it will cost too much money. Not everyone can afford a carriage, right? This public carriage has a place to use. With a very small amount of money, such as a penny, you can ride this public carriage from the east to the west of the city. I think this will definitely be very attractive, and this business will be easy to do..." Yang Jingwei said.

"Ah! I'm afraid, I'm afraid that I'll ruin your Majesty's business..." Liu Mao finally understood why the emperor asked him to come. He heard that he was doing business and immediately refused. How humble the officials are doing business? This is different from the postman, and that is the officials who are asking for him.

"What's so hard to understand? Do you know how much money I have to invest in the post office every year? Is this carriage that is urgently needed for disaster relief? Do I still have to pay attention to those postmen who transport disaster victims? The Qing family has been counting on me for paying money? I have never thought of sharing my worries? If this public carriage can make some money, I will be easier, and it will not be too difficult to provide disaster relief. I know that this matter is indeed a bit difficult... However, since the Qing family is unwilling to share my worries, I will not force it and find someone else to do it..." Yang Jing pretended to be angry.

"Go back to Your Majesty, I am willing to share your worries, I am willing to, I hope Your Majesty will be kind..." Liu Mao was shocked and sweated. What was he doing? Rejecting the emperor? He was afraid that he would not be able to act like this imperial party. He was kicked to that place to cool off in a blink of an eye. He didn't want to see the current scenery. Just do it. Isn't that related to disaster relief? The emperor also said that he wanted to use the money he earned to subsidize the gap in "disaster relief" and he also saved the people from the fire and fire. In this way, he was also willing to do his reputation for the people...

"Okay, as long as you want, I won't say much about other things. The Qing family can plan slowly and take it step by step. However, there are two things that the Qing family must do immediately. First, the public carriage from the capital to Tongzhou must be passed immediately. Let's try it out if the business is good, and then add it. Second, the public carriage in the capital must also be opened immediately. This Liulizhai is a must-visit place for all people in the world to enter Beijing.

Fang, the public carriage should be centered on Liulizhai. I think the business will definitely be very good. Just like that, the Qing family immediately started to do these two things, sum up their experiences while doing them, and formed a system. If you find a way, you immediately start to open up new routes and make more money. As for others, you just say that the world's post is a major event to save the victims... For the victims of the world, what is the point of suffering some grievance?" Yang Jing said half-forced and half-deception again.

"Reply to Your Majesty, I understand..." Liu Mao felt uncomfortable, and he knew that he had no capital to refuse. He didn't want to do it, and he wanted to do it. Now who doesn't want to rely on the God Party? He just hopes that "disaster relief" can cover up more ugly things.

"Okay! Then, when you arrive in Tongzhou, you should first ask how much money you need to go to Tongzhou now. Relying on the load capacity of the new carriage, it should be very advantageous. As for the transportation in the city, it will be set at one cent, one cent, and it will take from the east of the city to the west of the city..." Yang Jie said again.

"Reply to Your Majesty, I understand..." Liu Mao agreed, but he was muttering in his heart, "A penny? How can you make money? Why don't you lose money yet?"
