Chapter 0563 Nanxiang News(2/2)
"yes."
"Have all the students in the school learned such etiquette?"
"Back to the elder, yes."
Zhuge Liang had a thoughtful look on his face when he heard this.
The Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty met the county magistrate of Nanxiang during a private visit incognito. Naturally, he couldn't keep it a secret. Zhang Xingyi was also happy to hand over the Prime Minister and his entourage to Luo Meng.
Compared to Luo Meng, who has a holiday, Huo Yi is much busier these days.
After being held accountable by the palace, although the main responsibility did not lie with him, he was required to make up for the mistakes that Jiang Bin had made.
The Yuexun side is pressing hard. Not only must the Purple Lightning Swords make up for the previous gap, but they must also create at least 500 more swords before the end of the year.
This will cost you your life.
The craftsmanship of this purple electric sword is extremely complicated. Although there is no shortage of fine iron nowadays, it is extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive for craftsmen to hammer it out bit by bit.
Moreover, each hand must be inspected to pass the inspection, and no more mistakes can be made before it can be sent to Yuexi.
Time is so tight, where can I find rest?
Seeing that it was starting to get late, Huo Yiyu carefully inspected the newly made purple electric swords one by one today, and made sure that there were no problems. Then he ordered the people below, "Go and notify Dongfeng Express."
Call the steward and ask them to come and receive the sword tomorrow."
Today's Dongfeng Express is no better than before. The shortage of horses has been greatly alleviated after the normalization of Yuexun's pastures. Although it still cannot meet the requirements of Feng Yong's network of outlets, the transportation capacity is higher than that of Dahan.
Definitely ranked first.
Dongfeng Express now has five main transportation lines.
The biggest one is naturally from Hanzhong to Jincheng.
As Hanzhong becomes more prosperous, the connection with Jincheng becomes closer, and Dongfeng Express not only makes this connection closer, but also more convenient and faster.
Except for woolen cloth, which is a must-luck item every month, it would be too time-consuming and labor-intensive if each family had to send their own people to collect the scattered items between Jincheng and Hanzhong.
But it’s different with Dongfeng Express.
The Xinghan Hui is mainly composed of children of powerful people. With their connections, most families are willing to sell them a favor at first.
Unexpectedly, after two or three times, everyone discovered, hey, this Dongfeng Express is quite convenient?
So the business started to spread.
It is not a smooth road from Hanzhong to Jincheng. On the contrary, there are many mountains and rivers to pass through.
There are many mountain people in many places who, when they pick up their farm tools, work on the land, and when they put down their farm tools and pick up weapons, they become part-time bandits.
Even if the government sends troops to encircle and suppress people, and they are forced to panic and throw their weapons into the mountains, how can you tell who is the thief and who is the citizen?
In some places, this kind of work has been done for several generations. It is considered an ancestral craft. It has rich experience and courage. Take last year as an example, the rioters in Wuthering Mountain Forest in Guanghan County even dared to rob supplies for the Northern Expedition. Do ordinary people dare to do this?
That must be the courage to be led by an experienced person.
Therefore, when ordinary people encounter this kind of thing, they just hope to survive, but they are afraid that they may not even be able to save their lives.
Traveling long distances in ancient times was not easy!
But Dongfeng Express is an anomaly. Not only does it travel in groups, but its escorts are also extraordinary.
Members of the militia who used to engage in shady business, tribes sent by various families, veterans who have experienced battles, and the weapons in their hands are the latest to be eliminated from the army. How can ordinary bandits have the courage to touch such a team?
?
The transportation is guaranteed, and since we have a big business, if anything is lost, we will be responsible for compensation.
It’s convenient and guaranteed. As long as you can afford it, who wouldn’t want to trust it for peace of mind?
A little adds up to a lot, and this business may seem like a piecemeal thing, but in fact, when it comes down to it, the money and money is really huge.
From Jincheng to Yongan is the second transportation line.
This line was pioneered by Xu You and Xu Xun, two nominal cousins.
Although the amount of jaggery and sugar cane harvested from Soochow this year is less than half of what was originally expected, the source has not been cut off.
The Xu family has been in business for more than two years, and now they have finally received substantial returns.
Just the distribution of brown sugar is much more than others.
Not to mention that with the re-alliance between Dahan and Soochow, the transactions between the two have become more active, and various material exchanges have also increased.
It's unlikely to make a huge profit, but if the water keeps flowing, as long as you don't seek death and eat for two or three generations, there's still no problem.
The Xu family has taken advantage of this, and even the brothers in the Xinghan Society are envied by many people - but they have no way to contact Jiaozhou!
As for the last three transportation lines, they all lead to Nanzhong.
The first half of them is the road from Jincheng to Bodao - including land and water routes.
Then it separates from the Bo Road, one goes to Yuexun, one takes the Nanyi Road to Wei County, and the other takes the Xiyi Road to Pingyi County.
These three items are currently at a loss, or in other words, they are simply serving the people of the Xinghan Association and are not thinking about making money for the time being.
The manor in Nanzhong is expected to produce output next year. As long as the output of Nanzhong can be shipped out by then, it will not be a loss, but a big profit.
To transport things from Hanzhong to Yuexun, Dongfeng Express is the best choice. The question is who pays.
The Yuexun Prefect's Mansion privately customized new weapons. Although it received permission from the court, the Han Dynasty's arsenal did not care about this, so the Yuexun Prefect's Mansion had to pay for it itself.
Feng Yong didn't care about this. Yuexun Prefect's Mansion asked Dongfeng Express to transport things. Is this called left-handed and right-handed? What's wrong?
Hanzhongye should hurry up and make Laozi's sword as required, which is the right thing to do.
"How are the weapons? Are there any that are unqualified?"
A man with a bare upper body, unkempt beard, and a tired look on his face, his body glistening with sweat, walked over and asked.
"No."
Huo Yi shook his head, and held the handle of one of the knives with both hands. He picked it up and shook it vigorously. He saw that the blade of the knife began to fluctuate from side to side in an amplitude visible to the naked eye, which made people feel frightened.
Then he turned the handle of the knife over and saw that there was an inscription on the handle: Zidian 212, Han Zhongye Huo Yijian, Jiang Bin, made on Tuesday.
Huo Yi put down the knife, then looked at Jiang Bin. Seeing that the former young master Pian Pian had turned into a complete craftsman, he couldn't help but sigh, "Even if you are held accountable by the superiors, you won't be like this, so why bother?
"
Jiang Bin shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It's a mistake if you make a mistake. If you evade responsibility because of a mistake, you are adding mistakes on top of each other. After accountability, I can resign as Prime Minister, but I'm afraid I will have to resign because of the mistake on Tuesday.
I will be punished for my mistakes.”
"For me to lose the position of Prime Minister is to lose face at best, but if I am relegated to a lowly position on Tuesday, it will be a disaster that will affect my whole family. It is my fault that I have caused so many people, so how can I do it?"
