Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1607 Benefits
The news in Luochuan County quickly spread in Chang'an City.

The merchants in Chang'an City were shocked when they heard this.

"What, that batch of goods was robbed?"

"That's right. Not long after I left Longxi, I was robbed by a group of thieves, but you don't have to worry too much. Later, the people at the post station teamed up with the local government officials and took the goods back."

"I heard that the post station escorts the goods, and the government is on call. As long as someone hijacks the goods, the government officials will take action. This kind of guarantee is not what we usually have when transporting goods."

"Who says no, with the retaliation of the local government, there will definitely not be any problems with the transportation of this cargo."

"It seems that it is much safer to hand over the goods to the post station to escort them than to escort them ourselves. Moreover, if they lose it, they will still be compensated. If we lose it ourselves, we will pay for it all."

"In this way, let the post station escort the transportation, but Baili is with us."

"That's right, that's right. I'll ask the people from the post station to escort the next shipment."

"I also asked the post station to escort."

"........."

The merchants were only worried about safety issues before, but when they found that the safety problems were easy to solve, they naturally took trouble and handed over the goods to the post.

Since then, although there have been incidents where the government was indifferent to the goods being robbed, everyone is still willing to hand over the goods to the post station for escort.

Because the post station gave them compensation at the original price, and the government offices that stood by at that time were all dismissed, the officials were dismissed, and the government servants stopped paying their salaries for one year.

When the news spread, the officials in those places didn't dare to be righteous about this kind of thing.

They make mistakes on weekdays, and they have never seen such harsh punishments. It is really not worthwhile to lose the officials just because they did not make a move. Some people from the post station escorted the darts and there was a problem. They should send someone to solve it quickly. .

Cold winter, cold winter, the weather in Chang'an City is abnormally cold.

At this time, the reform of the post station is close to completion.

In the early court that day, Qin Tian told Li Shimin and other officials about the reform of the post station.

After he said this, many people in the court could not help but praise him.

"Grandpa Qin is amazing. First, he trained carrier pigeons to deliver letters, which improved the efficiency of letter exchanges. Then he cut off some people who didn't need to deliver letters, so that the organization of the entire post station became more streamlined."

"That's right, that's right, the most important thing is not to let those who were cut off lose their jobs, but to open up a dart betting business, so that they have something to do and can make money."

"I've heard that the business of guarding darts at this post station has already generated profits. All along, the post station has not generated any profit. It only serves our Tang court. My Tang court invests a lot of money into it every year. , Now it’s all right, not only has the efficiency been improved, the cost has not been increased, and even profits have appeared, this situation is really wonderful, wonderful.”

"........."

For Qin Tian's means, these people in the court sincerely admire them. There is no way, no matter who is entrusted to them, they are not sure that they can do well. Qin Tian not only did it well, but also did it very well. good.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Li Shimin was also very satisfied. He originally thought that Qin Tian could solve the problem of the post station without increasing investment. He never thought that Qin Tian not only solved it, but also made the post station profitable.

This inn is profitable, but it reduces the cost of the imperial court.

"Qin Aiqing did a good job. Since then, the news of my Tang Dynasty has no longer been lingering, it is all thanks to Qin Aiqing..."

When the morning retreated, snowflakes fell again in Chang'an City. The snowflakes were not very big, but the weather in Chang'an City was bone-chillingly cold.

As soon as Qin Tian left the hall, Cheng Yaojin and the others surrounded him.

"You boy, you are really good at it. No one was optimistic about you before. Now, you are an eye-opener."

"Hahaha, yes, you have a brain, you just added a business, and all the problems were solved."

"Let's go, foster father is happy today, go drink."

In such a cold day, Qin Tian originally wanted to go back to the house quickly and enjoy the warm kang in the house, but Qin Shubao asked for a drink, and it was difficult for him to refuse.

And at this time, Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong and the others have already pulled him on. As for Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin, they are as excited as fools, even happier than Qin Tian himself.

Seeing this situation, Qin Tian had no way to refuse, so he could only nod his head and agree.

After everyone agreed, they went directly to the inn in Dongshi, and then ordered some people to serve some food and wine.

A group of people drinking and joking, in this cold winter, it is the best way to kill time.

And such moments are the most relaxing, no intrigue, just drinking and bragging, how many times in a person's life can this happen?

A thousand cups of wine are rare for a bosom friend, and Qin Tian and these people are not bosom friends, but they can be regarded as lifelong friends, so naturally he drank a little more, and the time was a little longer.

By the time they left the inn to go back, it was already before dusk.

At this time, the snow in Chang'an City was still falling, and it kept falling like goose feathers flying in the sky.

There were not many pedestrians on the entire Chang'an City Avenue. A gust of wind blew, and the cold people shivered.

The snow in Chang'an City was already very thick, and it creaked when walking on it. Qin Tian looked at the white snow in front of him, and suddenly sighed.

"In such weather, I'm afraid the main road will freeze to death."

After muttering something to himself, Qin Tian bid farewell to the others and walked towards the house. On the way, he only hoped that the heavy snow would stop as soon as possible.

Although it is true that auspicious snow heralds a good year, if there is too much snow, it will become a disaster.

Here in Chang'an City, it has been several years since there has been such a heavy snowfall. In just half a day, the snow has already reached the calf.

Gee.

When Qin Tian returned to his residence, Li Shimin was standing on the tallest building at the Imperial Palace of Chang'an City, looking at this beautiful scroll.

It's just that, although the scroll is beautiful and white enough to make people's hearts rippling, Li Shimin at this time has no interest in admiring it, and there is a trace of worry on his face.

"Chang'an City has not seen such heavy snowfall for a long time."

As the Son of Heaven, what he cares about in his heart is naturally the people.

It's just that in this cold winter, he can eat enough and wear warmth, but can the people of Chang'an City also eat enough and wear warmth? How are they doing in such a cold day?

Li Shimin's eyes deepened a lot, and he finally went back when it was getting late.
