Passing through the station

No matter how Mr. Zhang was dealt with by Mr. Cao, Ruan Bai felt that he would never see Mr. Zhang again in the posthouse until the capital squad returned.

It takes time to select the auxiliary army, and there are no retired soldiers at present. Ruan Bai took advantage of the last spare time to deal with the final details.He already had a rough plan, and just waited for Mr. Cao to fall into place... No, it was support.

Chu Hao received a letter from Xijing that day, to be exact, it was his father's reply.There was an envelope inside the envelope, and the one inside was specifically stated to be for Ruan Bai to read.

Unlike the normal correspondence between father and son, King Pingxi's letter to Ruan Bai seemed to be chatting, which was a lot of chatter and familiarity.

There was a thunderstorm in the afternoon, Chu Hao came back to have lunch, and logically did not return to the barracks, moved a recliner and put it under the eaves, and used it as a cushion by himself, and then invited Ruan Bai to lie on the "mat".

Uncle Ruan listened to Chu Hao read the letter to him, and smiled while listening: "Your father is really interesting."

Chu Hao couldn't see it, so he raised his hand and scratched Ruan Bai's waist. Seeing the man bowing into a shrimp in an instant, he hummed twice: "Is it happy to have an extra foster father?" Kind of unreliable, "What do you mean my brother is his son?"

He always felt that it was not good for things to continue like this.It's not that he can't see Ruan Bai's popularity, it's just that Ruan Bai was originally his brother, but not long ago, he suddenly had a foster brother; now that no one has seen him, he suddenly has a foster father... It can be predicted that he Mother will definitely be a foster mother.At that time, his brother can only stand aside.

"That's right, who wouldn't be happy if you have multiple backers? After all, your father is more powerful than you." Ruan Bai always spoke frankly, and he didn't mind Chu Hao being stabbed in the heart by a small knife.

Can Chu Hao argue that he is better than his father?Don't say that the son doesn't talk about the father's fault, it's the fact... His father, who is weak, is also much better than him.

The letter Ruan Bai wrote to King Pingxi through Chu Hao earlier contained various private express services.General Cao stationed a Shunyang Pass, and many retired soldiers needed to solve their livelihoods. King Pingxi, as the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, needed to arrange even more people.

"Father means to get out of... the post office first, and let the matter of the bank be put on hold for a while."

"Hmm." What Ruan Bai said earlier that he wanted King Pingxi to help him was nothing more than getting the postal system out.Although he wrote letters for others several times before, the delivery method of letters is still the traditional way of bringing back letters from fellow villagers.He really wanted to get an EMS in Dazhou, but don't look at the little money he has on hand now, if he really wanted to do it himself, the money wouldn't be enough to make a splash.

Besides, this is not a matter of throwing two dollars.These days, population movement is strictly controlled.In addition to the large-scale disasters like the previous military disaster in Shunyang, which caused a large number of ordinary people to be displaced, ordinary people could not go far without the guidance issued by the government.Now it is said that the world is peaceful, but there are still many things about occupying mountains and becoming kings.Traveling far away, safety cannot be guaranteed.

What Ruan Bai wants to use here is the matter of retired soldiers.To be honest, soldiers who can live to retire are not small in themselves. Even if there is a little injury, the post office still needs counters and logistics personnel.He can't toss about a state agency, so why can't he set up a public institution?

According to Ruan Bai's vision, the setting of the post office is modeled on a post station.Of course, post stations are generally set up outside the city, but post offices can be set up in towns, and one to several points can be set up according to the size of the town, and village-to-village links can be opened, and online shopping can be delivered to home... Well, the last point is what he wants more up.

But village-to-village access is totally feasible.

"Why can't we open the bank business for the time being? It's so troublesome for people to send money back now." Especially now that the common currency of the people is metal, can the cost of sending a small note back home and a bag of money be the same? ?

Ruan Bai's idea of ​​the post office was written under the watchful eyes of Chu Hao, and Chu Hao certainly understood the greatness of Ruan Bai's plan.And according to his understanding of Ruan Bai, if the post office can really be built, not to mention the benefits of writing it now, there must be some unspeakable content in it.But now let Ruan Bai know why.

Chu Hao could only break down the truth and said: "If the post office can open the bank business, according to your plan, it is indeed very good. However, you yourself also mentioned the problem of anti-counterfeiting. People deposit money in the post office, and the post office issues Deposit slips, people can go to the post office to withdraw their debts with the deposit slips. How can this deposit slip be guaranteed to be genuine? As far as I know, not to mention those who specialize in counterfeiting, some disciples of some calligraphy and painting masters now have many copies Even the master himself may not be able to distinguish the calligraphy and painting that came out."

Ruan Bai curled his lips: "One mountain is still higher, the road is one foot tall and the devil is one foot high!"

Chu Hao pinched his face amusedly: "Also, what you didn't write is that the establishment of so many post offices will speed up the transmission of information everywhere. And the post offices are only... well, semi-official. One more channel to transmit information , It is bound to make the information known only to the imperial court known to others. This is what the imperial court does not want to see.

Also, the size of a party's population is related to the performance appraisal of local officials.If the post office has the function of a bank, the first to benefit will be the merchants.Not only will existing businessmen benefit, but the number of private businessmen will also increase.Now the imperial court suppresses business. "

"Tsk, trouble." Ruan Bai stretched out his hand and took a plate of fruit on the side, hugged it in his arms, and fed Chu Hao one, but he didn't eat it himself, and asked, "Why is the court suppressing business?"

"Businessmen don't engage in production, but only rely on reselling goods in the two places to make profits. If there is no restraint, everyone will become a merchant. If things go on like this, no one will cultivate the farmland... The country will be overthrown in a moment."

"Huh?" Ruan Bai was stunned by Chu Hao's argument, "Is it so serious to be a businessman?" Are you kidding me?Besides, people like Chu Hao and the others didn't have a few businessmen under their command?But they regard businessmen as moths, and they have to feed on moths.It's just...

"shameless."

Chu Hao held the rude Ruan Ergou in his arms, "taught" him hard, and taught him all the way from the reclining chair to the bed.

His rough palms lingered on the boy's slippery back.It wasn't obvious when he was wearing clothes. The boy's figure was still thin and thin, but the body exposed by taking off his clothes can be called a well-proportioned body now.Ruan Bai's skeleton is obviously smaller, even with a little flesh hidden, he is thinner than the average person.What's more, apart from being a little lazy during the Chinese New Year, Ruan Bai has never neglected to exercise himself.Now that I am thin and thin, I have strength in my body.With such a slender waist, the strength of the punch is not small at all.

"Hiss!" Chu Hao gasped after being pinched, and stretched out his sore arm, which was obviously red, "By tomorrow it will be blue!"

Ruan Bai didn't even bother to look at it.This guy loves to take him to the bed more and more, and his movements are surpassed every time, but this guy has a very hard mouth, and he is extremely insistent on the issue of his status.It is said that the mother-in-law is more difficult to deal with.

"Master Chu, Master Cao told you to come over!" Xu Liu's voice came from outside.

Chu Hao tightened Ruan Bai in his arms, with regret on his face, and shouted to the outside world: "Got it!" He quickly put on his clothes, and before leaving, he looked at Ruan Bai who was not responding at all on the bed, and suddenly felt upset, " Second brother has nothing to say to brother?"

Ruan Bai was puzzled: "What did you say?"

"Say you don't want me to go, and want my brother to accompany you."

Ruan Bai stared at Chu Hao's serious face, and suddenly sat up from the bed, Xia Tian's thin quilt slipped off his body, revealing the youthful upper body.He also turned sideways, stretched out his hand to hook Chu Hao's neck, raised his head slightly, and leaned into his ear: "Xiaobai doesn't want you to go. Brother Hao, stay with me~"

Chu Hao really gasped this time!Normally, when Ruan Bai called him brother Hao, he could hardly control himself.This is what it looks like now... From his point of view, Ruan Bai's place is also looming...

Chu Hao walked away holding his nose.

Ruan Bai wins!The brat dared to fight him, did he really think he was young?Do you really think brother is so easy to be?

It's not too late now, Ruan Bai got up and moved around, thinking of the businessman Chu Hao mentioned just now... Could it be that the current businessman is just doing buying and selling?

But through his actual life in the past few months, he found that there is no shortage of food and drinks, and some utensils are also bought and sold. These are processed products... So, in fact, the current manufacturing industry is not a part of business?When Chu Hao came back, he had to ask carefully.

The rain outside has not stopped yet, Ruan Bai intends to visit the original desolate post, which will soon be converted into a market, although some public facilities have been built, but there has been a lot of rain in the past few days, I don’t know if there will be water leakage or something .

Stepping on the wooden clogs with bare feet, before he could step out, he heard Xu Liu's voice again: "My lord, Steward Cao has brought many people here, and they are waiting at the market now."

The bazaar refers to the original barren post, of course.The corner of Ruan Bai's mouth said, "I'll be there right away." He sent back and forth letters to Xijing, counting the days, Master Cao's auxiliary army should indeed have arrived.

There are not many places belonging to Yi Cheng in the post station.Although it sounds like it's his territory, it can't really be used to entertain guests.So Ruan Bai reserved a special place in the market.The house that was originally planned to be bulldozed will now be used.

When Ruan Bai arrived, Ye Dong and others were already helping to entertain Steward Cao and his party.

Steward Cao saw Ruan Bai approaching, and quickly stood up: "Second Lord Ruan, the villain brought everyone here. This is the first batch, a total of eighty auxiliary troops, and ten retired."

Ruan Bai smiled and said: "It's a rainy day, quickly change out of the wet clothes, why are you standing there? Ye Dong, hurry up and help the brothers arrange the rooms. The place here is a little smaller, so we can stay here for a few days."
