The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 390 Another Partnership
The sunlight poured into the private room on the second floor through the window lattice. Liu Dongjia, wearing a dark blue gown, was sitting at a round table drinking tea.

Hearing the noise at the door, he looked up and saw a little girl in a lilac dress walking in.

"Miss Pomegranate!" A hint of joy flashed in Liu Dongjia's eyes.

Shi Liulian walked into the private room and bowed, "Mr. Liu!"

Only then did he sit down opposite.

Liu Dongjia picked up the teapot and personally poured a cup of tea for Shi Liu. He looked at Shi Liu and said, "How is everything on this trip?"

"All good." Shi Liu smiled meaningfully: "How about Mr. Liu? Is everything okay?"

Liu Dongjia chuckled and said, "Everything should be put in its place. As you instructed, your goods have been put in your house in the north of the city. It is better to check them in time."

Shi Liu nodded, then picked up the teacup and said to Liu Dongjia: "Cheers to Liu Dongjia, thank you for your hard work."

"You've worked hard too." Liu Dongjia raised his glass.

Without saying much else, Liu Dongjia only talked about the recent search for rebels in Bingzhou. "We have taken down many strongholds, big and small, and Bingzhou is relatively safe now. But in Cangzhou, the imperial court has searched several times but still couldn't find the rebel leader Li Yan. They only caught some useless minions, and no one knows where Li Yan is hiding—"

"But now, even if they want to start a rebellion, it won't be that easy. After all, recruiting soldiers and buying food and fodder all require money."

As he spoke, Liu Dongjia glanced at Shi Liu and said, "I came here today because the Fifth Young Master told me something. If the rebel doesn't find the treasure, he will definitely go after you. It's not safe around you, so he wants to send a few people to you, one to protect you, and the other to catch him in a trap."

As long as those rebels find the pomegranates, we will catch them one by one. This is also a good way to catch them.

Just like that, the pomegranate is just a bait.

Shi Liu didn't care about this. It was certain that the rebels were targeting her, and she was afraid that they would be desperate and kill her. It would be the best if the Fifth Young Master sent a few experts to her side.

Therefore, Shi Liu nodded without hesitation, "That's great. I'd like to trouble Mr. Liu to thank the Fifth Young Master for me."

Liu Dongjia nodded and said, "Call me Uncle Liu! We are so familiar with each other now, and we will have a long-term relationship in the future. Calling me Liu Dongjia is too formal!"

After this division of the treasure, their relationship has become even closer, and there is really no need to be so formal with each other.

Shi Liu smiled, "Uncle Liu!"

Liu Dongjia also laughed, and then said: "These people are highly skilled in martial arts, so it is better for them to hide in the dark to protect you. If they are exposed in the open, they may alert the enemy. Just keep in mind that if there is any problem, they will show up."

Shi Liu nodded and immediately talked about the business she had arranged to have with Mr. Liu today.

"During this trip to Yunzhou, I met a man. His family has been running an escort agency for three generations. Previously, it was also a very famous escort agency, but by his generation, it gradually became less famous. This time, Ma Chun also helped me a lot. I promised him that I would help him find a better way out and expand this escort agency so that it will be famous all over the world one day. That's why he brought a few trusted escort masters back with me."

Liu Dongjia listened and thought about the famous escort agencies in Yunzhou. He had also heard of them. "Your surname is Ma, is it the Weifeng Escort Agency?" "Yes! Uncle Liu also knows about this Weifeng Escort Agency?"

"I've heard of it! The first person to open this Weifeng Escort Agency should be Ma Chun's grandfather. He was also a well-known honest man in the martial arts world. He was a capable man. Any escort entrusted to him would be flawless. It's a pity that he died too early."

Liu Dongjia paused and said, "You want to help Ma Chun? How do you plan to help?"

Somehow, he was not surprised at all about Shi Liu's words that one day the Wei Feng Escort Agency would be famous all over the world and known to everyone. He just felt that this was something Shi Liu could do.

Shi Liu then said, "According to my plan, I intend to merge the functions of the escort agency and the post station to open an express post station."

"Express post station?" Liu Dongjia stroked his not-so-long beard, a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes, "The post station you are talking about should not be the post station we know, right?"

Shi Liu nodded, "Uncle Liu, the post stations we have always known are places for the government to deliver official documents and military intelligence, as well as for the boarding and lodging of officials, as well as for changing horses. The wealthy families have their own fleets to deliver letters and gifts, or they hire escort agencies, but the common people cannot afford to hire escort agencies to deliver letters and gifts, so they either ask acquaintances, or spend some money to ask the officials of the post station to deliver them, which is so troublesome, and letters and gifts are often lost when they are delivered, which is not safe.

Nowadays, our Dajin's trade is prosperous, and there is a lot of demand for cargo delivery. For example, the Liu family has its own special fleet, but most merchants still don't have these, not to mention letter delivery, which is even more imperfect.

The express post station I envisioned, in terms of model, on the one hand, is based on the escort agency, whether it is receiving or escorting escorts, etc. The second aspect is the post station model, for the delivery of goods and letters, etc., different reasonable prices can be set according to the weight of the goods and the distance of delivery, and a certain fee can be charged to the sender.

In terms of manpower, on the one hand, a safe, reliable, stable and fast fleet is formed, and on the other hand, waiters and deliverymen are recruited. The fleet is responsible for delivering the items sent by the guests to the stations set up on the main roads in the city, and then the waiters at the stations will sort them out. Finally, the deliverymen below will be responsible for delivering the goods and letters accurately to the recipients.

As for the establishment of stations, a main station can be set up in each state, and then branch stations can be set up in the provincial capitals and county towns below for operation. Goods between states can be sent to the main station first, and then the main station will distribute them to the provincial capitals and counties below according to the addresses. The same applies to the goods sent by post.

This is the blueprint I drew, Uncle Liu can take a look at it."

As he spoke, Shi Liu took out a roll of drawings, which clearly depicted the layout and operation procedures of the express station, making it easy to understand at a glance.

Liu Dongjia looked at the drawings carefully, and admiration gradually appeared in his eyes. He knew that anything done by Shi Liu would be eye-catching.

Before he even started, he could already foresee that if this express station could grow to a certain scale, it would definitely benefit the people and be profitable in the future.

"This is a great idea, but the initial investment is probably a huge sum of money and it takes a lot of effort."

Shi Liu took a deep breath, looked at Mr. Liu, and said with a smile: "Uncle Liu is right. I can't do such a large investment alone, so I came to you with the blueprints and plans. We have cooperated so many times, Uncle Liu, do you mind if we form a partnership again?"

Hearing this, Liu Dongjia glanced at Shi Liu, and both of them knew what was in his eyes.

No matter how much you invest in the early stage, you can get pomegranates easily now, so there is no pressure at all.

The key is not to take it out casually.

But no matter what, the fact that Shi Liu thought of his uncle and was willing to work with him again was good for him.

Therefore, Mr. Liu said cheerfully: "It's my honor!"
