Chapter 124

Express business is definitely promising in the era of low transportation capacity in Datang.

Li Qieyou felt that if he pulled up a carriage transport team, he would definitely make a lot of money. The only pity was that there were no horses.

Now, the horses of the four wheeled carriage team in Dingzhou village belong to the county government of Chang'an County. The village only belongs to borrowing and must be returned after returning to Chang'an.

It takes about nine to ten copper coins to pull a horse. This time they sold grain for 420, 70 and 350. Help shopkeeper Yinzhou Ma transport porcelain and earn 600 Guan, a total of 950 Guan copper coins.

In this way, if the money is used to buy horses, you can buy about 100 horses, but you can get up more than 20 four-wheel carriages for transportation first.

The more Li forgets worry, the more he thinks about it, the more feasible it is. It's a profitable business.

With Chang'an City as the center, merchants in the East and West cities can transport goods within a distance of 1000 Li.

After making money, continue to buy horses. It won't be long before the transportation industry of Chang'an city can be contracted by Dingzhou village. At that time, let's eat worry free elbows and lose one. Ha ha, it's beautiful!

It was agreed with shopkeeper Ma that he would go to the kiln mouth of Ma's house to ship porcelain the next morning. Li forgets worry and leads Niu Wu back to chemadian in a hurry.

He found the old village, took him to his room and described what had just happened.

When Lao Cun Zheng heard that Li forgot you had gone out for a stroll, he found a job for the team to pull goods back to Chang'an. He smiled so much that the wrinkles on his face were wrinkled into chrysanthemums.

The old man almost didn't scare himself out of his heart disease when Li forgetful said that the freight was 600 Guan.

"Xiao Lang, don't make trouble. How can you give so much money? Let's get the goods?" the old village shook his head and felt that Li forgetful was joking with him.

Li forgot to worry, smiled and stared at him without talking. Seeing that the old village was silent, he couldn't believe it and asked, "really give 600 Guan?"

"That's right. I'll pull the goods early tomorrow morning, and I'll give 600 Guan to the west city of Chang'an in five days. This is the contract." Li forget you took out the freight contract he signed with shopkeeper ma.

The old village is taking over quickly. After watching it carefully for several times, he finally believes that this is not a joke.

"My mother, isn't this pie falling all over the world? It can be delivered in less than five days and three days!" the old village was excited.

Li forgot to worry and shook his head: "we can't talk so hard. What if we encounter special conditions during the journey? For example, what's the rainstorm that delays the trip? If we miss the time, we'll lose money."

"That's right. You can't be too full. Xiao Lang, you are considerate." the old village is nodding again and again.

Li forgot to worry and asked, "old village, what do you think of this?"

"How about what?"

"Can you do the business of transporting goods?"

The old village was stunned: "naturally, this business is like picking up money. Unfortunately, this time, when you return to Chang'an, the horse will have to be returned to the county government."

Li Qieyou smiled and pointed to the contract on the table: "isn't this money? Let's buy horses and transport them ourselves and pull goods for merchants in the East and West cities of Chang'an city. What do you think?"

His words made the old village stay for a long time. The old man faced the Loess and turned his back to the sky all his life. He suddenly listened to Li forgetful worry and asked the villagers to pull goods.

But the old man soon understood Li's idea, and his excited beard was about to curl up.

"Xiao Lang, you have a good way! Ha ha, with Xiao Lang's four wheeled carriage, we can buy a batch of horses and start the transportation business. Tut Tut, it's much more profitable than the farm men!"

"That's it. I think the more than 300 copper coins will not be divided at all. All of them will be used to buy horses. Even if all families in the village do business together and earn money, they will be divided again."

The old village is nodding at once: "I think it's OK, just do as you say."

The two men discussed the matter. Old village Zheng and Li forget worry returned to Datong shop, gathered all the farmers and told the people what they had just talked about.

Now it's the turn of the group of farmers to be silly. It's not easy to make sure that Li forgetful's words are true. They are all boiling.

Li Qieyou struck while the iron was hot, described the bright prospect of "express business" in the future, and drew a big cake, which made these farmers more excited. He wished he could run the business and make copper money now.

For a long time, everyone agreed not to pay money. Go back to buy horse racing transportation dry express!

That night, many of the more than 70 farmers, including the old village, lost sleep. Tossing and turning, I couldn't sleep. I was thinking about the "express business" mentioned by Li forgetful.

The next morning, Li forgot to worry and was happy as soon as he went out. How come a group of old and young men all wore panda eyes.

After a casual breakfast, they drove the carriage and went straight to Majiayao outside Yinzhou city.

Shopkeeper Ma was already waiting. He was a little surprised to see that the carriage team arrived.

He thought that they should transport goods by carriage, so that they could send porcelain to Chang'an City in five days, but he didn't expect that only more than 30 vehicles came.

When shopkeeper Ma wanted to come, no one or two hundred carriages could not transport a thousand grains, let alone his eight or nine hundred pieces of porcelain.

"Little Lang, why are there only these vehicles? What about the other carriages?" shopkeeper Ma quickly found Li forgetful and asked.

Li forgot to worry and said, "no, that's all. Here you are, shopkeeper ma. Let people load the goods."

"What? Just these more than thirty carriages? Aren't you kidding, young man? How can you fit them?"

Li forgot to worry and said, "shopkeeper Ma, don't worry. Just let people carry porcelain. There's no problem with 20 pieces of porcelain in each carriage."

When things came to an end, shopkeeper Ma didn't have time to think about it. He simply asked the craftsmen at the kiln mouth to carry out the porcelain and start loading.

Datang has long figured out a set of measures to prevent damage during transportation.

Craftsmen will stack and bind ten pieces of porcelain according to varieties and specifications.

Then, sprinkle some sand to fill the gap, and then sow some beans or wheat seeds.

Watering, these seeds take root and germinate, interlace and wind together, so as to firmly form a piece of porcelain bound together and form a solid whole.

In this way, the packaged porcelain can be transported to the west through the camel team and the long silk road.

At the mouth of Majiayao, the porcelain has already been packed and ready. At the command of shopkeeper Ma, the craftsmen began to load. The farmers in Dingzhou village were busy fixing with ropes to prevent bumps on the road and shake the porcelain off the carriage.

An hour later, more than 30 carriages were loaded.

"Shopkeeper Ma, get on the bus. It's getting late. We have to hurry." the old village is greeting.

When transporting so much porcelain, shopkeeper Ma naturally escorts it with the car. He took several horse servants and boarded the carriages in Dingzhou village.

Until this time, the horse owner's heart was still beating drums for fear that he would be deceived, or these horses could not pull such a heavy carriage at all.

The old village was shouting, and the horse whip rang out one after another.

When the four-wheel carriage started slowly and trotted onto the road to Chang'an, the expression on the horse shopkeeper's face was wonderful... He was really frightened.
