Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 341; Another good plan

"It will feel like this."

Fang Qiao nodded cooperatively.

"Yes, over time, other people's homes have them, but yours doesn't. Customers find it inconvenient, so will they think that since it's troublesome, they'll find another place to eat?"

“It’s not like I have to eat here.”

"As people's acceptance increases, a habit will be formed, and they will think about convenience and inconvenience in everything."

"Besides, if you want to buy some heavier goods, some of the better ones in the stores will help deliver them, but some won't."

"It takes a lot of effort to get it yourself, and it costs money to do errands. Over time, these merchants who don't help deliver will naturally lag behind those who are willing to deliver."

"The business will also be affected, and the loss is not just the few pennies for running errands."

Those who can buy a lot of goods in a shop are those who are not short of money. A single purchase will definitely make a lot of money for the merchant.

If you lose a customer just because you don't deliver it to your door, or if you push the customer to the enemy because of such a thing, who can bear it?
But it’s not appropriate to recruit people specifically to be responsible for delivering goods. After all, the prices of long-term workers are different. If you can deliver goods every day, that’s fine, but who can guarantee that big customers will come to buy things every day?
In this way, it will be more convenient and more cost-effective to find errands. You don't have to worry about hiring permanent workers, and you can better serve some big customers and retain them.

Emperor Zhaowu and the other three were all shrewd people. After hearing so much, they immediately understood what Huo Junyao meant.

This is to directly make running errands a habit and form a brand new industry. Once you get used to it, those who don't have it will slowly be eliminated.

Naturally, we had to find them to cooperate.

"Awesome, the princess is really awesome, I admire you."

Fang Qiao really didn't expect that Huo Junyao was so smart and could think of such a thing.

"If the court wants to do this, it can actually add a service, which is also very profitable."

"Oh? What service?"

Emperor Zhaowu had already seen how the service station could make money, and he was indeed very satisfied with it. Now that he heard that it could still make money, he was even more happy.

Making money for the court, isn’t that just making money for him?

"I remember that the imperial court had inns in various places, right? It costs a lot of money to maintain the inns every year."

Fang Qiao nodded quickly and said, "It's true. Although it's not much every year, I keep going out but can't go back. There is really no way. Does the princess have any good ideas?"

"Of course, I have learned about this inn before. Many places are only used once or twice a year. Most of the time, they are idle. However, the manpower and livestock in the inn need to be maintained by the court."

Several people nodded again. This is indeed the case. In many places, if there is no big event, the busy post station will not be used all year round. However, the official servants and livestock of the post station must be prepared. What if they are needed?
This is an expense every year, although it is not much, but it is like this every year. If there is no way, it is impossible. If there is a way, then naturally you want to change it.

"Then why not take advantage of it?"

"Let's just talk about sending letters home. Many people want to send letters to other places. It's troublesome to go back and forth, isn't it?"

"Then why not let the inn take over errands like delivering letters?"

"I remember that the livestock at the inn include mules and horses. Horses naturally serve the court, but those mules, why can't they serve the people?"

"I believe many people are willing to charge one or two cents for a letter. After all, it is a court post, and credibility is on display there."

"Not only delivering letters, we can also help with the goods of some small businessmen. You can also charge service fees for those mules to transport. Moreover, this is the flag of the imperial court. Among the bandits and bandits traveling from various places, how many of them dare to pay attention to the imperial court? From the inn?”

"This security is enough to make many businessmen flock to it, right?" The imperial court usually seems to have a beautiful presence, but the bandits and bandits in various places do not dare to rob the things escorted by the imperial court.

After all, this thing is a serious crime of decapitation. What does a businessman care about most, isn't it that his goods can arrive safely?

With the escort of the imperial court, this security can make them feel at ease. Even if they pay a little more for transportation, I believe there will be merchants willing.

At this time, Emperor Zhaowu was excited again. He quickly understood what Huo Junyao meant. He turned to look at Fang Qiao and asked, "What do you think, Mr. Fang?"

"Very good, but it requires detailed planning. I will think about it and come up with a plan after I get back."

"Ah."

Emperor Zhaowu nodded with satisfaction.

Then he looked at Huo Junyao and said, "Girl, you have helped the court again, what do you want?"

"Forget it. I'm still developing the land you gave me earlier. I don't know how long it will take to get it out. Why don't you, Your Majesty, make a note of it first? Will you give it to me when I think of something I want in the future?"

"Okay, then I will write it down for you first and reward it later."

Emperor Zhaowu was very satisfied with this trip and had lunch at the Hot Spring Villa before leaving. During this period, Fang Qiao asked many details about the service station and inn that Huo Junyao was willing to provide.

Huo Junyao also told him one by one that this was the method Huo Junyao used at those express delivery stations in his previous life, and I have to say it was quite easy to use.

Emperor Zhaowu and others left quickly.

"Jingzhi, you gave birth to a good daughter."

On the way back to the city, the smile on Emperor Zhaowu's face never broke. Especially when he looked at the people coming and going outside with hopeful smiles on their faces, he felt extremely satisfied.

What is prosperity? That is to let people live a good life and have hope.

On today's trip, he saw this hope. Although he couldn't complete it in one fell swoop, it could help accomplish a lot.

Especially the idea of ​​drawing a piece of land to serve as roots for these people is even better.

The Yu Dynasty had a vast territory, and even the lowest parts were still wasteland. If every one of them, not to mention all of them, were developed, even if they developed 10,000 acres, they would be able to increase a lot of food that year.

It would be great if these beggars who were originally helpless and precarious could have food and shelter and generate income for the court.

"The emperor has rewarded you."

Huo Jingzhi was extremely proud at this time. His daughter was really amazing.

"Prime Minister Fang, you must make a detailed and solid plan for today's affairs after you go back. This is related to the future of our Yu Dynasty."

"As ordered."

Fang Qiao himself is also full of energy.

The court meeting ended two days later. Fang Qiao had already compiled a detailed plan and presented it directly at the court meeting.

The ministers were shocked, and Meng Xuancheng was so excited that he repeatedly clapped his hands and applauded.

However, some people applauded, and some objected. Those pedantic scholars jumped out again, saying how could the imperial court do such a lowly thing as a merchant?
There was also the Imperial Inn, which was a top priority and was actually used for business purposes. Many bachelors even pointed at Fang Qiao and cursed him, saying that he had ulterior motives.
