Datang romantic little landlord

A draft horse needs about nine to ten copper coins. This time they sold grain and got 420 coins, divided into 350 coins, and there are 950 coins left.Helping the Yinzhou horse shopkeeper to transport porcelain can earn another [-] guan, and a total of [-] guan copper coins can be obtained.

Calculated in this way, if all the money is used to buy draft horses, you can buy about a hundred horses, but you can get more than 20 four-wheeled carriages for transportation first.

The more Li Wangyou thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was feasible, it was a profitable business.

With Chang'an City as the center, merchants in the east and west cities transport goods, and the distance can be transported within a thousand miles.

After earning money, continue to buy horses. It won't be long before Dingzhou Village will take over the transportation business of Chang'an City.At that time, let's eat Wangyou elbow and lose the other, haha, it's so beautiful!

After making an agreement with shopkeeper Ma, Li Wangyou led Niu Wu back to the chariot shop in a hurry the next morning to go to Ma's kiln to load the porcelain.

He found Old Muramasa, pulled him into his room, and narrated what happened just now.

Lao Cunzheng heard that Li Wangyou actually went out for a stroll, so he found a job for the convoy to haul goods back to Chang'an, laughing until the creases on his face wrinkled into chrysanthemums.

When Li Wangyou said that the shipping fee was [-] guan, the old man almost gave himself a heart attack.

"Xiao Lang, don't make trouble, how could you give so much money? Just let us do the delivery?" Lao Cunzheng shook his head, feeling that Li Wangyou was joking with him.

Li Wangyou stared at him with a smile and didn't speak, and the old village who watched was silent, and asked in disbelief: "Really give six hundred guan?"

"That's right, I'm going to pick up the goods tomorrow morning, and I'll give you [-] Guan within five days when I deliver them to the West City of Chang'an City. This is a contract." Li Wangyou took out the shipping contract he signed with the shopkeeper Ma.

Lao Cunzheng took it in a hurry, and after carefully reading it several times, he finally believed that it was not a joke.

"My dear mother, isn't this the best thing in the world? It will be delivered in three days in less than five days!" Lao Cunzheng was excited.

Li Wangyou shook his head: "We can't be so deadpan. What if something special happens on the way? For example, a heavy rain delays the trip. If you miss the time, you will have to pay for it."

"That's right, you can't talk too much, you should be more thoughtful, Xiaolang." Lao Cunzheng nodded repeatedly.

Li Wangyou asked again: "Old villager, what do you think of this matter?"

"How about what?"

"Can you do this cargo business?"

Lao Cunzheng was stunned: "Of course we can do it. This business is simply picking up money. It's a pity that just this time, when we return to Chang'an, the horse will have to be returned to the county government."

Li Wangyou smiled and pointed to the contract on the table: "Isn't this money? Let's buy horses and transport them ourselves, and deliver goods to merchants in the eastern and western cities of Chang'an City. What do you think?"

What he said made the old village stay for a long time. The old man had been facing the loess all his life and his back to the sky. He suddenly heard what Li Wangyou said, and he still hadn't reacted to asking the villagers to pull goods.

But the old man quickly understood what Li Wangyou was thinking, and his beard was about to stand up with excitement.

"Xiao Lang, your idea is good! Haha, with your four-wheeled carriage, Xiao Lang, we can buy a batch of draft horses and start this transportation business. Tsk tsk, this is more profitable than farmers farming. too much!"

"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 the families in the village are in partnership to do business, they will share the money after they make money."

Lao Cunzheng nodded immediately: "I think it's okay, so I will do as you say."

After the two discussed the matter, Lao Cunzheng and Li Wangyou went back to Datongpu, gathered all the farmers, and told everyone what they just talked about.

Now it was the turn of the group of farmers to be dumbfounded. After finally confirming that what Li Wangyou said was true, they all boiled over.

Li Wangyou struck while the iron was hot, and described to everyone the bright future of the "express delivery business" in the future, and then drew a big cake, which made these farmers even more excited, wishing they could go to the business to earn copper money now.

After making a fuss for a long time, everyone unanimously agreed that no matter the money, go back and buy a horse for transportation and express delivery!

That night, many of the more than 70 farmers, including Laocun, suffered from insomnia.Tossing and turning, unable to sleep, I was thinking about the "express delivery business" that Li Wangyou said.

In the early morning of the second day, Li Wangyou was overjoyed as soon as he went out, why a group of old and young men were all wearing panda eyes.

After casually eating breakfast, the crowd drove the carriage and went straight to the entrance of Majiayao outside Yinzhou City.

The horse shopkeeper was already waiting there, and he was a little surprised to see the carriage team arriving.

He thought that Li Wangyou and the others should use horse-drawn carriages to deliver the porcelain to Chang'an City within five days, but he did not expect that only more than 30 vehicles came.

In the mind of the horse shopkeeper, there is no one or two hundred horse-drawn carts that can't transport a thousand shi of grain, let alone his eight or nine hundred dendrobium porcelain.

"Xiao Langjun, why are there only these vehicles? Where are the other carriages?" The shopkeeper hurriedly found Li Wangyou and asked.

Li Wangyou froze for a moment: "No more, that's all, here they are, Shopkeeper Ma, let someone load it."

"What? Just these more than 30 carriages? Xiao Langjun, aren't you joking? How can you handle this?"

Li Wangyou said: "Horse shopkeeper, don't worry, just let someone carry the porcelain. There is no problem at all with twenty hu of porcelain in each carriage."

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

Datang has already figured out a way to prevent damage during transportation when transporting porcelain.

The craftsmen will stack up ten pieces of porcelain according to the variety and specification, and bundle them together.

Then, sprinkle some sand to fill the gaps, and then sow some bean or wheat seeds.

When watered these seeds take root and sprout, intertwine and intertwine, thus firmly binding the bundled porcelain into one piece, forming a solid whole.

In this way, the packed porcelain can be transported to the west through the long silk road through the camel caravan.

At the entrance of Ma's kiln, all the porcelain was packed and ready, and the craftsmen began to load the cars after hearing the order from the shopkeeper Ma.The farmers in Dingzhou Village were busy fixing the porcelain with ropes to prevent bumps on the road, and shook the porcelain off the carriage.

An hour later, more than 30 carriages were all loaded.

"Horse shopkeeper, get in the car, it's getting late, you have to hurry up." Lao Cunzheng greeted.

To transport so much porcelain, the treasurer of the horse must be escorted with the car.He took several servants of the Ma family and boarded these carriages in Dingzhou Village respectively.

Up to this moment, the horse shopkeeper was still beating drums in his heart, fearing that he would be deceived, or that these horses could not pull such a heavy carriage at all.

The old village was yelling, and the whip sounded one after another.

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

In fact, the four-wheeled carriage team does not run fast. Compared with the speed of galloping horses, the carriage team is just four horses trotting forward.

But even so, the traveling speed of the horse-drawn carriage team reached [-] kilometers per hour, roughly equivalent to the speed of bicycles.

Every hour of running, stop to let the horses rest for half an hour. In one day, the carriage team ran two to three hundred miles on the post road in one breath.

Shopkeeper Ma was finally convinced that he could reach Chang'an City in five days.

No, even at this speed, you can enter Chang'an City in at most three days. How can you not frighten the horse shopkeeper who is used to running this post road.

That night when he was resting at the post station, shopkeeper Ma found Li Wangyou.
