Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

After buying cloth and clothes, Ma Sanlang took two brothers Meng Wu and Meng Qi to buy some candy at a snack shop in the city.

With gifts, Ma Sanlang and the others finally arrived at the station outside the city.

Relying on the two wars with the Uighurs and Tubo, there is now no shortage of horses in Hexi.

The carriage was originally operated by players.

At the beginning, only players had the need to travel to other cities.

So the earliest horse-drawn carriages were only used to transport players between cities.

At the beginning, the carriage was an iron frame without shock absorption. It was not only in danger of falling apart when walking on the rough road, but also often got stuck in the muddy road and could not get out.

At this time, the owner of the car will let all the players get out of the car, and then push the carriage forward.

At the most outrageous time, 60.00% of a section of the road has to be pushed by a carriage. I really don’t know whether to spend money to ride a carriage or spend money to push a carriage.

However, players are constantly upgrading the carriages, and the carriages gradually have shock-absorbing springs.

The roads between cities have also begun to be built more smoothly.

City-to-city travel naturally becomes more convenient.

With the complete stability of Hexi, some shrewd native businessmen also saw business opportunities in the transportation market.

This business opportunity is the transportation demand between the city and various villages near the city.

Before the development of the workshop, this demand did not exist.

At that time before, people rarely left their villages.

It is the norm in the agricultural era that people do not know each other, and there are not many contacts between adjacent villages.

But since the development of industry and commerce, this balance has naturally been broken.

Most of the workshops are still developed around this city. The logistics around the city are convenient, and merchants will also stop in the city, and the products can be sent directly to the city for sale.

In several villages near Zhangye City, workshops developed most rapidly.

It can be said that with the exception of Yiheli, the other high-development villages are all villages close to the city.

No matter what kind of village it is, it needs a lot of workers.

It is obvious that relying on the workers in the village alone cannot meet the demand for employment.

People in some remote villages also began to gather in cities in pursuit of higher wages.

With the people who go out to work, there is naturally a need for round-trip transportation.

It was against this backdrop that the city-to-country carriage emerged.

Merchant players who initially invested in transportation between cities did not realize this business opportunity.

By the time they reacted, all kinds of small carriages had already filled the market.

It's just that even if players want to squeeze into this market, they may not be able to beat the aborigines who are more familiar with the village.

Many of these carriages are obsolete carriages bought from the player's transportation company, and the horses are also poor horses sold at low prices in the market.

But most of the trips home were short trips, and good horses were not much faster than bad ones.

Ma Sanlang found a carriage heading to Yiheli. The village of Meng Wu and Meng Qi was next door to Yiheli, and the three got into the same carriage.

This is a four-person carriage with the handlebars sitting on the roof. There is also an employee of the Wangfu Bank in the same car. He is also traveling to Yiheli for business.

After gathering four people, the handlebar immediately started the carriage and set foot on the road to Yiheli.

The employee of Wangfu Bank is also a local aborigine recruited by the player. He is a scholar in Zhangye City, and his name is Jin Haichao.

Jin Haichao became more enthusiastic when he heard that Ma Sanlang was the son of Ma Lichang.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Ma Sanlang asked: "Brother Jin, why are you going to Yiheli?"

From Ma Sanlang's point of view, the Wangfu Bank's service targets are those rich and big businessmen. Although there are some workshops in Yiheli now, it seems that there is no need to use the Wangfu Bank.

Jin Haichao said with a smile: "Marshal Ma, I am the fourth eldest, so you can call me Jin Silang."

"I went this time because the former Lichang Zhou wrote to our president, wanting to borrow a young crop loan from the Wangfu Bank."

"Young crop loan? Is there no money in the village?"

Jin Haichao said with a smile: "Who said that you have to have no money to borrow money? The interest rate of young crop loans is very low. Nowadays, many villages have signed an agreement with our bank to borrow money to buy seeds, and then just pay back when the harvest comes." .”

Ma Sanlang still doesn't understand. In his opinion, it's impossible to borrow money when he can't eat.

However, after hearing what this Jin Shiro said, the interest rate of the Youth Loan is indeed very low, which can be regarded as a benefit for the people.

Jin Haichao said again: "In addition to the Qingmiao loan, I heard that you are planning to build an oil extraction workshop in Yiheli, so this time I also want to see if Yiheli needs a loan."

Ma Sanlang secretly admires that Yiheli is a remote village, and the people from the Wangfu Bank have worked tirelessly to investigate on the spot.

No wonder Sun Xiaowei said that Wangfu Bank's business is doing very well now.

This service attitude alone is much better than those monks who used to lend money.

Moreover, Wangfu Bank's loan is completely voluntary, and the interest is clearly stated in advance, and the consequences of not repaying the loan are also written into the agreement.

He was really innocent, so he quickly defeated the monks and landlords who lent money.

And behind Qiwangfu Bank is the entire Longyou Governor's Mansion, and those landlords and businessmen dare not jump out to fight against King Jianning. The business of Wangfu Bank is spreading rapidly, and it is recruiting people almost every month.

"Four guest officers, the road ahead is muddy, please get out of the car first!"

The handlebars stopped the carriage, and the four of them had no choice but to get out of the carriage.

Stop and go along the way, and get off the car when you encounter such a muddy road.

Sometimes even passengers are required to help push the cart.

After the four people got out of the carriage, they still couldn't drive the carriage, so they had to beg the four people again with a shy face.

"Four gentlemen, please help me and push the car."

Ma Sanlang also had no choice but to help push the carriage out of the muddy area, and the carriage was finally able to continue to set off.

After getting into the car, Jin Haichao took out a notebook and said to the handlebar:
"This is Zhang's house, right?"

"Yes, yes, this is Zhang's house."

"Why is the road in this house so bad?"

The handlebar type often walks this road and knows all the villages very well.

He immediately said: "The main reason is that Zhang's family is poor. There is no property in this place. The previous village chief has been here for a week, and he really can't bear the hardships. I heard that it will take a while for the new village chief to take office. There is no money to build roads." .”

The handlebar said again: "Your Majesty must have heard the slogan that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads, right? If a place wants to be rich, it must repair the roads. If this thing cannot be transported, it will not make a fortune."

"In a well-developed village, the road in front of the village is easy to walk."

Jin Haichao recorded it in his notebook.

Ma Sanlang asked suspiciously: "Silang, why are you writing this?"

Jin Haichao said with a smile: "This family is poor now. If the new chief wants to develop after he takes office, he must borrow money from the Wangfu Bank. I will record it first and come back later to see if there is any business."

Ma Sanlang gave a thumbs up, as expected he still wanted to study!

This Jin Shilang, a scholar, is different from ordinary people, so it's no wonder that he can become an employee of Wangfu Bank.

Thinking of this, Ma Sanlang became more determined to let his little nephew study in the city.

If the little nephew is really a material for reading, then the life of the sister-in-law will be better in the future.

After walking out of Zhang's house, the road finally became flat, and Yiheli was ahead.

Jin Haichao said: "Your roads in Yiheli are well repaired, so it's no wonder that Yiheli is the best-developed village outside Zhangye City."

Hearing Jin Haichao's praise of Yiheli, Ma Sanlang straightened his back.

Both Meng Wu and Meng Qi looked at Ma Sanlang enviously.

"Guest officers, we've arrived in Yiheli!" The handle bar shouted, reining in the reins, the horse stopped slowly, and the carriage came to a stop.

Ma Sanlang immediately jumped out of the carriage with his luggage, and he has not returned home since he joined the army to fight against the Tibetans.

After coming back this time, Yiheli has changed.

The originally narrow village entrance was compacted into flat land, and stone slabs were paved at the entrance to the village.

But at the entrance of the village, Ma Sanlang smelled a pungent smell.

I only saw that the village was full of traffic, and there were trucks coming in and out non-stop, which was quite lively.

Meng Wu and Meng Qi said goodbye to him, they were going to walk home on foot, and Jin Haichao was about to walk into Yiheli with Ma Sanlang.

There was a vaguely pungent smell in the air, Ma Sanlang covered his nose and said:

"Why is it so stinky?"

Jin Haichao said: "This should be the smell from the composting workshop, right?"

Sure enough, looking at the fertilizer pulled by the truck, Ma Sanlang suddenly realized that it was the smell of compost fermentation.

It's just that the people in Yihe seem to have gotten used to this taste. When they saw Ma Sanlang in a handsome military uniform, they greeted him warmly.

Several boys in the village even followed Ma Sanlang directly, taking him as an idol and learning how Ma Sanlang walked.

Ma Sanlang also took out the small gifts he had prepared and distributed them to the villagers in the property.

Just like this, he walked all the way to the old house, but he was suddenly stunned.

I don't know how my grandpa is doing?How are the sister-in-law and nephew?And isn't that eccentric little sister cute?
At this moment, a young girl rushed out of the room.

"Third brother! You are finally back!"

Ma Sanlang quickly put his hand against his younger sister who was about to throw herself into his arms, and said loudly, "Wanniang! You're already old enough, how dare you be so reckless!"

Ma Sanlang's younger sister, Wanniang, noticed that there was an outsider present, and she quickly put on a dignified look, and greeted Jin Haichao who was beside Ma Sanlang.

Jin Haichao quickly returned the gift, and Wanniang didn't dare to be presumptuous when she saw outsiders, so she went into the house with the gift brought back by Ma Sanlang.

After entering the house, Ma Sanlang asked: "Is Grandpa at home?"

"Grandpa is still in the village office. Grandpa has been busy recently. I really don't know how Zhou Lichang could arrange so many things in an orderly manner."

"Where are sister-in-law and Hao'er?"

"Hao'er hasn't finished school yet, and my sister-in-law has found a job in the garment workshop of Widow Wang's house, and she hasn't finished work yet!"

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and there is a reunion family in Yihe.

At this time, in the Longyou Dudu Mansion in Shazhou City, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the festive atmosphere among the players is getting stronger day by day.

Longyou is temporarily stable. This Mid-Autumn Festival, the players are gearing up and want to create an event to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

But soon the player received a bad news-the Mid-Autumn Festival in the Tang Dynasty will not be a holiday!
