Crossing Wu Dalang starts from selling cakes

Chapter 304 Profit of the station!Two more!

The post station, which is equivalent to the modern post office, was mainly used to receive and deliver military news in the Song Dynasty.

And Wu Zhi is going to ask the people of the Ministry of War to create a new model of post stations across the country.

Just like today's courier.

In other words, as long as it is transformed by Wu Zhi, the post station can not only convey military information, but also consign goods.

In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient, so this aspect was relatively scarce. Wu Zhi wanted to establish a model to commercialize it.

In this way, the profits brought to the treasury every year are very objective.

The inn belongs to the Ministry of War, precisely because of the need to develop new things, and also the reason why Wu Zhi wanted to promote Li Gefei. He needs his own people, and those who are promoted must naturally be loyal to him.

Li Gefei was a small official, so he would be grateful to him for being promoted like this. In addition, Li Qingzhao was his younger sister, so Li Gefei was a very good candidate.

Only in this way can he follow him with all his heart.

The kindness is too great.

Of course, building a brand new station also requires money, and many details must be handled well.

Wu Zhi called Li Gefei, Shangshu of the Ministry of War today, took out some blueprints and his own model, and told Li Gefei to let him do it.

If this matter is handled well and benefits are generated, that is a great achievement.

Moreover, the frequent contact between Wu Zhi and Li Gefei is to tell everyone that Li Gefei is his King Yan's man, so don't blame him for being rude to anyone who dares to move.

Li Gefei was also dumbfounded when he heard the thoughts: "King Yan, is this really possible?"

This is a relatively complicated project. Freight post stations will be established all over the country in the Song Dynasty, and the model of charging fees will connect the surrounding boundaries. This will not only facilitate the people of the Song Dynasty, but also allocate various materials to make the economy of the Song Dynasty more developed.

Just want to build it up, this kind of pattern thinking is very important, he listened to what Wu Zhi said, at first he listened to it in a cloud, and finally he understood it, and he sighed that Wu Zhi's brain didn't know how to think, Can come up with such subtle patterns of detail.

Don't underestimate a station model, which is also very complicated.People who can't figure it out can't do it at all.

The management, as well as how to deliver the goods, get through the lines, accept orders, collect fees, and a series of tedious details require brains.

Wu Zhi smiled and said, "Of course!"

Wu Zhi is a modern person, but it is a pity that there is no computer, no online sales model, and the transportation is inconvenient. Otherwise, it would be crazy to make such a model in ancient times.

Even so, it can be very profitable.

Most of the post stations in the Northern Song Dynasty were used for the transmission of military information and the delivery of envelopes, and many of them were not open to the outside world.

What Wu Zhi has to do is to reform this model.

Wu Zhi also quickly reported this idea to Song Huizong. Song Huizong heard that the post station could make money after being connected, so he agreed without thinking about it.

I also feel that Wu Zhi's whimsical ideas may be another way to make money for the country.

After listening to Wu Zhi's many ideas, Song Huizong became more and more excited. Song Huizong actually likes money. If the treasury can have more income, which official would not like it.

If you have money, you will feel safe.

In the future, when wars are fought and the world is governed, what disasters occur? The salaries of the officials in the court and the soldiers' salaries, food and drink, which one does not cost money?Naturally, the more the better, anyway, Wu Zhi made a lot of money for Da Song, so he can do whatever he wants.

Song Huizong is very straightforward. If you have achieved results before, he will believe you. Even though the post station model is not so easy for the ancients, Song Huizong agrees with all of them. If you are short of money, you can also transfer it from the treasury. .

Because of what Wu Zhi did, Song Huizong agreed.Even if he hesitated, most of Song Huizong would still support it after Wu Zhi's explanation.

As a result, Wuzhi's balloon air force, naval ships, and land stations are all fully researched and implemented at the same time.

As the months go by.

Wuzhi's hot air balloon has achieved preliminary results after this period of research.

The ball material of the hot air balloon has been manufactured, and the ignition device is relatively rough, but it can still be used, but the time is not long, and Wu Zhi needs to be further strengthened.

In addition, hot air balloons need to burn dye, which is not a problem for Wu Zhi.

At this moment, a black thing was ignited and rose up, but it staggered and fell down soon.

This thing is a little smaller than modern balloons, and it can only hold three people. This is just the result of the initial experiment.

But it also made the craftsmen on the scene exclaimed again and again.

"It really can fly!"

"Is this too stupid?"

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that such a magical thing could fly!"

The craftsmen looked at Wu Zhi with reverent eyes.

These are all made by Wu Zhi.

Wu Zhi smiled and said: "Everyone is working hard. After a period of research, it is estimated that the finished product will come out. Once it passes the test, it can be mass-produced. By then, I will have an air force in Song Dynasty!"

"My lord is really a fantastic idea, and it really succeeded. It's really admirable!"

"King Yan is too powerful!"

"There is King Yan in the Great Song Dynasty, so it's hard not to be strong!"

Many craftsmen also learned a lot and opened their eyes.

In addition to these, Wu Zhi's ship is now being built in all aspects, but the ship is more complicated.

There are a lot of things that need to be made. There is a large site in the Commercial Department. There are wooden boards piled up everywhere on the ground. Some workers are cutting wood, painting, making molds, etc., and how to put the ammunition and cannons in the boat just right Hekou and so on all require fine craftsman spirit.

Fortunately, Wu Zhi gave the drawings, and with his guidance, many difficult places can be solved.

Wu Zhi's mind is like a computer, knowing all the details of the operation.

Because he has mastered the technology, it is not so difficult, it is only a matter of time.

The post stations handed over to Li Gefei have also begun to adopt a new model across the country.

First of all, they bought a batch of good horses that can travel hundreds of miles a day, not to mention thousands of miles a day, as well as various new delivery trucks and waterway ships, all of which were put into use.

At the beginning of the establishment, many delivery routes were planned.

As a result, the nearby merchants were curious, and some tried it out, and found that the delivery was safe and fast. Although the delivery fee is relatively expensive, this new post station is a channel dedicated to delivery, and the faster the time, the more money can be made. Therefore, no matter where there is a post station, the surrounding businessmen have started to adopt this new method, and it has also promoted the development of local economy and trade.

In a short period of time, some results have been achieved, and each place can generate tens of thousands of taels of silver.

The territory of the Song Dynasty is not small, and dozens of places can be established, and tens of thousands of taels can be generated every month.

If it is fully deployed and matured, it will be tens of millions per year. What kind of concept is this?
How much is the treasury of the Song Dynasty every year?
If a post station can earn so much money, is the Song Dynasty treasury still short of money?

After the benefits were generated, he went to court the next day, and Wu Zhi was going to report the results to Song Huizong.

Since Wu Zhi has engaged in three things in a row recently and consumed several million taels of silver, Cai Jing and others are attacking Wu Zhi frantically.

Many courtiers were very dissatisfied with Wu Zhi's chaos and spending so much money. Seeing the war in the Jin Kingdom and Liao Kingdom spread, the Song Dynasty wanted to save money to prepare for the war, but Wu Zhi was spending crazily during this period. Cai Jing and others wanted to jump up and blame him. Wu Zhi.
