Chapter 517 GDP is created
Yang Reform is thinking deeply and adjusting his plan.

But Wang Chengen was looking at the sky. There were a lot of people outside who wanted to meet. He didn’t know when he would be able to see them all. If it was one wave after another, he might not be able to see them after dark. After thinking about it, he turned and entered the Qianqing Palace. Reported: "Your Majesty, Fu Mingde, Liu Mao, and the craftsmen who made the carriages have all arrived. Do you want to see him?" Since it's too slow to meet each other, let's just meet together. In short, we can't get tired The emperor.

"Well, see you." Yang Reform nodded directly.

Fu Mingde walked in the front, Liu Mao followed behind, and some craftsmen followed tremblingly.When Fu Mingde saluted, these craftsmen immediately knelt down on the ground and stood tall for tens of thousands of years.

"Get up," Yang Reformed.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron." Only then did everyone get up.

Yang Reform looked at these people, Fu Mingde was the most cheerful, standing in front of him, Liu Mao followed closely, and those craftsmen stood far away.

"Fu Mingde, I haven't seen you for a while." Yang Reform was the first to start joking with Fu Mingde.

"Your Majesty missed me, this servant has been looking forward to seeing His Majesty." Fu Mingde said hastily.

"Are these craftsmen from your place? Are they all in charge of making carriages?" Yang Reform asked again.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, that's right." Fu Mingde replied.

"Not bad..." Yang Reform nodded. "...You all come forward, I have something to ask..." Yang Reform said to the craftsmen again.

There were five of those craftsmen, and they stood tremblingly behind Fu Mingde and Liu Mao, some distance away. When they heard the emperor's words, they tremblingly moved their steps forward.

"I have seen the carriages you built, they are very good, and I have ridden them, and I feel good..." Yang Reform tried his best to talk with these frightened craftsmen in a friendly voice.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise..." An old man in the lead said tremblingly, it was a surprise to be able to come here, and they often heard others "bragging" that they had seen the emperor and talked to the emperor. Hearing this, he was salivating, but he didn't expect that he also saw the emperor now, and it was true that the emperor liked to summon craftsmen.

"...Today I called you here, besides your well-made carriages, I also want to ask, can you build a carriage for carrying goods?" Yang Reform asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, a four-wheeled carriage originally carried more loads than a two-wheeled carriage. There is no problem in carrying goods. It can easily carry more than a thousand catties, and even fifteen hundred catties is not a problem. If your Majesty wants to build a heavy load We just need to make the frame poles stronger." The leading craftsman replied immediately.

"Oh, is that so? In other words, if I want to build a large carriage that can hold more than a dozen people, there is no problem?" Yang Reform asked again, talking directly with these craftsmen, the speed of solving the problem is indeed the fastest. of.

"Returning to Your Majesty, there is no problem with this, just make the skeleton thicker, and the shoulder poles should be thicker, so it is not a problem at all to hold more than ten people..." The old craftsman in the head said immediately, discussing with the emperor what he specialized in. He was not so nervous about the matter, and he calmed down quickly, and he could talk freely immediately.

"That's right. Now, I just want to build some carriages that can carry heavy loads. In addition, I also plan to build some large carriages that can accommodate many people. I called you here today for this purpose..." Yang Reform breathed a sigh of relief. There is no technical obstacle, so you can rest assured.

"..." Several craftsmen looked at each other secretly again, wondering why the emperor asked them this.

"By the way, I want to know, what is the cost of the current carriage?" Yang Reform asked again.

Fu Mingde's heart flickered.Those craftsmen looked at each other again, and some secretly glanced at Fu Mingde, the old man in the lead said: "...Reporting to Your Majesty, the cost of a carriage now ranges from 50 taels to 300 taels if the horses are included." There are two [-] taels..."

"... so expensive?" Yang Reform was a little surprised when he heard the price.

Several craftsmen were even more surprised and puzzled, are 50 taels and hundreds of taels expensive?

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this is actually not expensive. This horse takes up one end. This new-style carriage has four wheels, which is two more wheels than a two-wheeled carriage. Besides, this new-style carriage uses steel for a lot of places. , especially the shoulder pole, ordinary people can't make it, they have to go to the cannon factory to order it, so the price is really not expensive..." Fu Mingde quickly explained to the emperor.

"Oh, that's right!" Yang Reform fell into deep thought. Only those rich can afford this price!Even if I subsidize it, I am afraid that the effect will be difficult to achieve the effect I want. I also plan to manufacture 10 taels of carriages every year. Your own plans are in conflict.

"Then how much steel do you need to use to build a carriage now?" Yang Reform asked again.

"Return to Your Majesty, the less is about two or three hundred catties, and the more is over a thousand catties." The old craftsman replied again. [The numbers are estimates, don't take them seriously. 】

"Two or three hundred catties? Thousands of catties?" Yang Reform calculated again. An average of 10 catties of iron and 10 horse-drawn carriages, only 1 tons of steel. This is obviously not enough, no, how about 1 taels?[-] tons?But isn't this [-] taels too much?Thirty to fifty thousand vehicles is probably the limit. If you count the iron used for cannons, muskets, etc., it is still possible to get more than [-] tons of steel every year. Thinking of this, Yang Reform was quite discouraged, and it was only more than [-] tons Compared with the hundreds of millions of tons of steel in later generations, it is not worth mentioning!

"...You said just now that this horse still occupies a head. How much is the price of the horse?" Yang Reform asked a little irritably, not knowing what to do.

"Returning to Your Majesty, for the horses that pull the cart, the middle horse and the dismounted horse are enough. The middle horse is [-] taels of silver, and the dismounted horse is [-] taels of silver. If you leave this aside, the carriage can be cheaper..." The old man replied again.

Yang Reform felt a little irritated, and his assumptions were based on assumptions, but the actual situation was very different from what he had expected. The carriages were as high as 50 taels each, and each one used only three to five hundred catties of iron. The dream of expanding production and giving birth to the steel industry may not come true.

Frustrated!Yang Reform felt that the carriage shouldn't be so expensive, and the horse still has room to maneuver. Otherwise, he would have given birth to the machinery manufacturing industry and the iron and steel metallurgy industry, but it would be blown.

"The carriage, aside from the horses, is the cheapest one, how much is it?" Yang Reform asked seriously, the price of the carriage is too high, it doesn't match his idea of ​​promoting carriages, so it must be suppressed down.

"...Return to Your Majesty, if you pick up cheap ones,... I wonder what Your Majesty will use them for?..." The old man is obviously a master. Although he was pressed by the emperor, he remained calm. After all, this is his specialty.

"The carts used by ordinary people in the fields are the cheapest and cheapest, but they must be durable, and they must be four-wheeled..." Yang Reform added that the cost of this carriage far exceeded his expectations, and he was really disappointed.

"Returning to Your Majesty, if it is built according to the simplest four-wheeled carriage, each carriage uses only a hundred catties of iron, but only one or two taels of silver. If other boards, materials, ropes, nails, wages, etc. are included, it is not considered a horse. , about five or six taels of silver is almost the same..." The old craftsman calculated seriously.

"Six taels of silver is enough?" Yang Reform asked in surprise. This is really a world of difference from the previous 50 taels.

"Returning to Your Majesty, it's almost done. This is for goods in the countryside, and less iron is used, and more wood is used instead of shock absorbers such as poles. Therefore, I saved two taels of silver, otherwise, I would have to add two taels more." Two, if you include horses and a carriage, it will cost at least twelve or thirty taels of silver." The old craftsman answered seriously. [The cost of the carriage was estimated, but no relevant information could be found. 】

"The price of the horse has taken up so much..." Yang Reform was overjoyed, who said there was no hope?A carriage of more than ten taels of silver should be acceptable to ordinary people. If the price of the horse is lowered, the price can be reduced to less than ten taels. If the shoulder pole is also compressed, a farm carriage costs about eight or nine taels Money is enough. If you subsidize another 5 to [-] percent, the price of one or two horse-drawn carriages will go to five or six. In this way, a carriage weighs one or two hundred catties, and [-] carriages are [-] tons, which is not bad. If you get [-] taels of carriages, you can also increase the consumption of steel to [-] tons a year. The above, together with other steel consumption, has a good look, and this industrialization has also started.

"Well, yes, can this five or six taels be any cheaper?" Yang Reform was a little happy again, and said.

A few old men looked at the emperor in bewilderment and wonder. Isn't it said that the emperor is quite generous?Why are you still asking if it’s cheap or not?

"...Returning to Your Majesty, this is already the cheapest. This is still the roughest and simplest carriage without shock absorption. It is used when pulling some heavy goods in the countryside. If it is a little better, it is made. No way..." The old craftsman replied seriously.

"Oh, that's right! Then why did you just say that the carriage is as little as 50 taels?" Yang Reform asked again, and he was taken aback just now. When did the price of goods in the Ming Dynasty become so high?When did silver depreciate like this?

"Return to Your Majesty, this..." The old craftsman hesitated to speak, looking at Fu Mingde, it was not his business.

Fu Mingde was a little flustered, and quickly replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, this price was set by the servant, and now the carriages are all luxuriously built, so naturally they cannot lose the reputation of new-style carriages, so the servant set the price at More than 50 taels..."

"Oh, no wonder..." Yang Reform heaved a sigh of relief.

"...I have a question for you. If the price of this carriage drops to five taels of silver, what will happen? How can the carriage be sold more?" Yang Reform asked Fu Mingde.

"...Back to Your Majesty, do you dare to ask Your Majesty what you mean by a new-style carriage?..." Fu Mingde finally started to sweat. The emperor's question was too tricky. The horse-drawn carriage, how does this make money?

"Well, yes." Yang Reform affirmed.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I feel that if it is really that cheap, many people will buy it..., especially those small rich people in the village, they will probably buy it. The new four-wheeled carriage is stronger than the previous two-wheeled carriage. Not a lot, and there are a lot of things to load. You can load a thousand catties casually. If you don’t use a pole, you can load a two thousand catty servants. If you look at it this way, there are a lot of people who buy it..." Fu Mingde picked it up as much as possible. said.

"Oh, that's right! What do you think of Liu Qing's family?" Yang Reform turned his head and asked Liu Mao who had been standing by the side. This guy had been standing there inexplicably, obviously not clear why he was asked to come today. so.

"...Back, back to Your Majesty, I think it may be a lot..." Liu Mao replied in surprise. The emperor suddenly asked him, which shocked him a lot. He didn't know how much this carriage could hold, let alone He was really confused about the new-style carriage and asked about the villagers.

"Oh! By the way, how many of you? What do you think?" Yang Reform asked the old craftsmen again.

"...Returning to Your Majesty, Cao Min thinks that this new carriage can hold goods, and the carriage is spacious, and does not weigh on horses. It should sell well. Cao Min thinks that, except for the fields, maybe those wharves can use their carts. The most important thing is that it is big, it can hold a lot of goods, and it is durable..." Another craftsman finally found an opportunity to say a few words to the emperor. Previously, it was the old man in front who spoke.

"Well, it makes sense..." Yang Reform turned his gaze to another old craftsman.

"...Returning to Your Majesty, Cao Min thinks that perhaps it is useful to pull coal, and those people only want to be strong and durable..." The old craftsman came up with another idea.

"...Returning to Your Majesty, Cao Min thinks that maybe those wineries can be used. Seeing that they transport wine, they all use wine jars. A carriage can't hold a few, and they don't dare to pile them up high for fear of breaking them. Cao Min thinks , if they can use big wooden barrels to hold wine, and use our carriage, one cart will block at least ten of them..." Another craftsman used his brain to think of a way.

winery?By carriage?Yang Reform was surprised when he remembered that this old craftsman's idea was not bad. Didn't he just want to make wine and start a wine business?It really couldn't be more suitable to use this new type of carriage to transport wine.

"Well, that's a good idea, buddy. Remember, they will be rewarded when they go back later. Each will be rewarded with fifty silver coins, and this one who is talking about transporting wine will be rewarded with an additional hundred silver coins..." Yang Reform was interested. Yes, giving this old craftsman a reminder would be somewhat rewarding.

what!Everyone exclaimed for a while, just a few words have reached the emperor's heart?Just rewarded with silver?
"Go on, let's go on..." Yang Reform became interested and began to encourage these people to find a way. If you can use a new-style four-wheeled carriage with wooden barrels to transport wine, why can't you use a new-style carriage with wooden barrels to transport petroleum products?Perhaps, this is a magic weapon to open up the sales of petroleum products.

"Your Majesty, this servant thinks that this new-style carriage can replace today's chariots. Today's new-style four-wheeled carriages are not only loaded more, the carriages are spacious, large, and stable. If Your Majesty replaces all these with new-style carriages, then we It was much easier for the Ming Dynasty to fight against the Eastern captives, and, Your Majesty, the cart is big, so it can carry a lot of food! This army is less likely to be short of food..." Seeing that the emperor was very interested, Fu Mingde also offered it immediately My own idea, that is, the needs of the army, the chariot battalion, and now he is supplying the new army, the Beijing camp, and the frontier army with firearms. Naturally, I have to focus on this. As for whether it is a sale or no use , this is not his problem, he is responsible for the construction of the military bureau, and it is his credit to make it, as for getting the emperor to pay for it, it is none of his business.

"Okay!" Yang Reform got excited and shouted "Okay, the wisdom of the crowd is indeed infinite. The more people there are, the more ideas they come up with. Although some are not good enough, there are also excellent ideas. This rich man Mingde's idea is quite good. If the cart camp is replaced by the current four-wheeled carriage, the demand for this carriage will increase a lot. Now his new army has tens of thousands of people. According to the calculation of ten people and one carriage, There must be thousands of carriages before this chariot battalion can be considered completely mules and horses.Yes, Yang Reform made another note.Then it occurred to me that there were 200 million officers and soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, equipped with one carriage for every [-] households, there must be [-] carriages, very good, this can be distributed as welfare or other things, what?Spending too much money is bleeding yourself?Bloodletting is bloodletting, as long as it can promote the development of the machinery manufacturing industry, some bloodletting is also worthwhile.

Yang Reform quickly recorded this again.

This year they will be assigned to the level of [-] households, and next year they will be assigned to the General Banner. The General Banner is also an official after all. Yang Reform made another note to create GDP! ...

"Big companion, make a note, I will give Fu Mingde [-] silver coins later..." Yang Reform shouted loudly, this "prize contest" is becoming more and more standard.

Seeing the emperor's great interest, the people in this room began to come up with ideas one after another.Even Liu Mao, a bureaucrat with a Jinshi background, couldn't help it. He was too interested in "advising" the emperor for nothing but the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I feel that it may be possible to equip all the officials in the world with new-style carriages, and all the officials in the world will be grateful. In this way, it is a great fortune for all the officials in the world..." Liu Mao gave the emperor an idea in this way, since the emperor had money to distribute to the officers and soldiers , Then why can't the officials want it?This is not for nothing, if you want it, you will be famous, and officials all over the world have to get a share of your own favor. It's none of his business, that's the emperor's problem.

"Uh!..." This time, it was Yang Reform's turn to be dumbfounded, to allocate cars to the officials?What is this?Is time and space disordered?Create GDP?In order to create GDP... Yang Reform only thought for a while, gritted his teeth, and did it, wouldn't it be bleeding?Now that I am a rich man, it doesn't matter if I let some blood out. How many officials are there in this world?Is there five thousand?Ten thousand?Isn't it [-] carriages?Isn't that [-] vehicles...

Yang Reform made another note.

"That's a good idea, buddy, remember to watch the reward, two hundred..." Yang Reform gritted his teeth, and he gave the reward. For the sake of GDP, for the steel industry, and for heavy industry, just do stupid things.

call!Everyone was shocked again!What's wrong with the emperor?are you crazy?Is it possible to equip officials all over the world with horse-drawn carriages?

Liu Mao was even more stupid. He was just talking casually. He didn't expect the emperor to believe it and rewarded him with money. What does this mean? Could it be that he really said that the emperor would equip all the bureaucrats in the world with carriages?Think about the thousands of counties in the world, hundreds of state capitals, two capitals and thirteen provinces, all the officials are equipped with horse-drawn carriages?Crazy, the emperor is crazy...

Yang Reform was excited to record these ideas, but he didn't look at the surprised eyes of these people.

"Why, don't you talk about it?" Yang Reform buried himself in the memory for a while, and when no one spoke, he noticed the faces of these people, all of them were not good-looking.

Yang Reform came to his senses, he was too involved.

"Let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about something else, Fu Mingde." Yang Reform quickly changed the topic.

"Your Majesty, the servant is here." Fu Mingde quickly agreed.

"I've seen that new-style carriage, that steering frame, how did you come up with it?" Yang Reform hurriedly found an excuse to change the subject, there is still something to say, otherwise, just drive them away, it won't be like this Awkward.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I have brought people along and consulted Tang Keqing, that's why the thing that turned around was created so quickly..." Seeing the emperor asking about this thing, the complacent expression on Fu Mingde's face immediately appeared Come out, this is his proud move, thinking back then, the emperor wanted to build a four-wheeled carriage, and it had to be comfortable. It is convenient, and the second is that it is more bumpy than the second wheel, and it cannot be manufactured at all.In a hurry, Fu Mingde searched around, and suddenly found out that Xiyang had a four-wheeled carriage, so he quickly found Tang Ruowang and asked Tang Ruowang for advice, so the four-wheeled carriage was quickly built. Yes, there are also bogies and shock absorbers.That's why there is such a comfortable four-wheeled carriage now, otherwise, I would still be blind.

"Tang Keqing? Who is it?" Yang Reform didn't react for a while.

"Your Majesty, it's Tang Ruowang, Keqing Tang." Wang Chengen quickly reminded him.

"Uh! It's him! No wonder..." Hearing the advice of a foreigner like Tang Ruowang, Yang Reform was not surprised why the four-wheeled carriage was built so quickly, no wonder.

"..." Fu Mingde looked even more beaming.

"You've done a good job on this, buddy, remember to reward Fu Mingde with another [-] silver coins, and Tang Ruowang with another [-] silver coins..." Yang Reform said without hesitation.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang Chengen quickly agreed.

"...That is to say, there is no problem with your carriage-making technology now?" Yang Reform was in a good mood. It seems that the Ke Qing he recruited still has two brushes. The craftsmen thoroughly understood and solved the problem of the four-wheeled carriage.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, if your Majesty wants your servant to make any kind of carriage, this servant can build any kind of carriage. This servant thinks that you should build a [-]-jin carriage for your majesty to show your majesty's prestige..." Fu Mingde began to give the emperor another Flattering.

"Let's not talk about this for now, but I just remembered. I heard before that there is a kind of car that runs on rails in Xiyang. I wonder if you can make it?" Seeing that his R&D team is so good, Yang Reform immediately upgraded the R&D Target.

"?" Fu Mingde and several craftsmen didn't understand.

"It's the kind of wheel that doesn't touch the ground... Uh, how should I put it, it just runs on the track..." Yang Reform explained.

Seeing that the explanation was not enough, Yang Reform drew two lines on the paper with a pen, and then randomly drew a four-wheeled carriage on it.

"Look, it's roughly like this... The wheels of the carriage run on these two tracks, and the horse can drive the carriage, so it can run faster, and the carriage can also hold more..." Since Yang Reform has given himself " Bloodletting", then don't care about putting more, let's get on the track carriage.

Wang Chengen took the emperor's "design drawing" and handed it to Fu Mingde. Fu Mingde read it, with question marks all over his head, and then handed it to the craftsmen, who seemed to be paying attention.

After a while, some craftsmen understood the meaning of the emperor.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the grass people understand that it is not difficult to build this kind of track, as long as there is hard wood and the roadbed is firmly tamped..." A craftsman may have understood a little bit, and hurriedly said to the emperor, just now because of Some people said that the emperor was happy and rewarded a lot of silver coins.

"Oh, I heard that there are such tracks in the west. These two rails placed on the ground are made of iron. The wheels of the carriage are also made of iron. The rails are placed on a solid roadbed. I heard that , can pull a lot of goods, I heard that it is also made of wood, I am very curious about these, I don't know who can make it..." Yang Reform guided again.

"Ah!" Everyone was shocked again!Put iron on the ground, what kind of prodigal is this!There is probably nowhere to spend the money.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, this servant will definitely be able to do it." Fu Mingde immediately agreed, serving the emperor well is their highest purpose. As for whether they can do it or not, that's another matter, since the emperor said it well , that is roughly a reasonable thing, according to what the emperor said, it will cost some money at most.

Everyone looked at Fu Mingde in surprise.

"Okay, Fu Mingde, if you succeed in this matter, I will give you credit for it. You can ask Tang Keqing and those barbarians more about this matter. They may know about it." Yang Reform said loudly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En. This servant has written it down. If you don't understand, please ask Tang Keqing." Fu Mingde was quite happy, and thanked him immediately.

When everyone heard it, it turned out that it was a barbarian's thing. Maybe they hadn't heard of it, but maybe there was, and they were a little relieved.

"Fu Mingde, I have one more order. After returning home, build four-wheeled carriages in ten grades from five taels of silver to 100 taels of silver, and then one grade of 200 taels. There are eleven grades of carriages in total. It needs to be built, and then build the many carriages just mentioned, or heavy-duty, or troop carriers, or other, etc., the carriage yard needs to trial-manufacture carriages with various functions, I am useful, in addition, what I just said The kind of rail carriage that we are using also needs to be trial-manufactured, and we have to hurry up, I may have a lot of orders, and I am ready to expand the factory..." Yang Reform did not intend to be wordy, so he ordered it directly, and now he has everything. What are you afraid of, what should you do?

"Your maidservant takes the order." Fu Mingde accepted the order immediately.

"By the way, the treatment for craftsmen should be slightly better, and the treatment should be on par with Liulizhai, understand? Without good craftsmen, you can't make good things, you know? These craftsmen are also my people, and they should be treated. Pay attention, understand? Don't ruin my reputation..." Yang Reform said again.

"Return to Your Majesty, this servant has made a note, and must do as His Majesty ordered." Fu Mingde immediately agreed, Fu Mingde didn't need to be reminded of this point, but he had a wink. Liulizhai is the boss, so he considers himself the second. , the treatment is indeed on par with Liulizhai, only a little worse. From Fu Mingde's point of view, this is a serious political issue.

……

After sending away Fu Mingde and those craftsmen, Yang Reform was very active. After those people came up with an idea, the "production" of this carriage has risen sharply. It seems that it will be no problem to get tens of thousands of taels of carriage this year. After all, the output of steel can be increased by tens of thousands of tons. This five-year plan is only going to look good. Although it may be that you bleed, but the blood is worth it. What's more, although you bleed, you won't If you pay a penny, you will print all the paper notes and use the paper notes to create GDP...

Yang Reform feels good when he thinks that the GDP will soar because of the paper notes he printed.

Liu Mao looked at the proud emperor, feeling a little creepy. The emperor's thinking was completely different from his, or even their thinking. Who taught the emperor this?Two emperor teachers?Perhaps it is possible, Xu Guangqi is good at Western learning, so it is not surprising that there is an emperor who understands Western learning, but Liu Mao thinks that this emperor is obviously a god and a man who teaches again, otherwise, why is this thinking so unusual.

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty were all stingy guys. If the emperor assigned cars to officials all over the world, then the current emperor could be regarded as the unique emperor of the Ming Dynasty. But think about the Zhu family making some weird emperors. It felt like nothing, everything was as expected.

"Liu Qing's family, I have kept you here because I have something important to discuss with you." Yang Reform said,
"Your majesty is terrified, but I am ashamed and dare not be..." Liu Mao hurriedly humbled.

"How is the separation of Liu Qing's house going?" Yang Reform asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the separation of the posts and inns in the world is almost done now, and the north is basically complete. However, some places in the south are far away, so I guess it will take some time..." Liu Mao quickly replied.

"Oh, that's right, are the postmen in the station still emotionally stable?" Yang Reform asked again, Li Zicheng was responsible for the unstable mood of the postmen.

"Back to Your Majesty, thanks to His Majesty, today's postmen are very grateful for His Majesty's care, and they all say that Your Majesty is good, and they can do things with peace of mind..." Liu Mao immediately replied. After the post was separated, the passing officials ate and drank , A large part of it has to be paid by the local officials, and the life of the postmen in the posthouse is easier. In addition, the emperor has increased the salary.

"Oh, that's good. Is there any money in the postal service?" Yang Reform asked again.

"Uh..., back to Your Majesty, there are some prospects for this matter, but the benefits are not very big, and some routes with a lot of people are okay, and many remote couriers are also difficult to make a profit..." Liu Mao saw the emperor Ask about this matter, tell each other quickly.

"Well, I think, it's probably like this. It's impossible for all the lines to make money. It would be nice to have a few lines that make money. The postal system, in addition to the imperial court having to spend enough money, the postal itself has to find a way! Some make money, some don’t, the places and routes that make money have to share some profits with the places that don’t make money, what the imperial court wants is a reliable and timely postal system, this point, Liu Qing’s family must not remember.” Yang Reform said .

"Return to Your Majesty, I understand His Majesty's painstaking efforts, and will follow His Majesty's instructions. Nowadays, postal delivery between Beijing and Nanjing is still very profitable..." Liu Mao began to reminisce about the happy time when he earned thousands of taels of silver every day. When the emperor was fighting with the salt merchants, the expedited seven or eight miles between Beijing and Nanjing did not cost money, but it made him a lot of money, and many officials could not reach the expedited seven hundred miles Standard, it’s not a big deal, if you want to expedite it by [-] miles, you will have to pay money, so, during those days, he had a very good time.

"Well, I brought you here today and let you listen to the conversation between me and those craftsmen, just to tell you that the postal system will have a better day..." Yang Reform said with a smile.

"I beg your Majesty to show you..." Liu Mao became excited, not knowing what the emperor said about a good day.

"I'm going to build a batch of postal carriages for the postal system..." Yang Reform said with a smile.

"Post carriage?..." Liu Mao was very surprised. Could it be that the emperor not only provided carriages for the officers and soldiers, but also prepared carriages for postmen?Did the emperor really have too much money and nowhere to spend it?Sprinkle money all over the sky?

"That's right, postal carriages. After thinking about it, I have to support the postal industry..." Yang Reform looked at Liu Mao who was quite surprised, and smiled.

"...I don't know what kind of match your Majesty is?" Liu Mao asked, suppressing the surprise in his heart.

"There are postal carriages connecting each county, which can transport people from one county to another. People and things can go from county to state, to the government, to the provincial capital, to the capital, this is one of them..." Yang Reform explained with a smile.

"Ah!" Liu Mao was taken aback!All states and counties in the world must have horse-drawn carriages for postal delivery, and they must also be able to transport people. This..., the emperor is too crazy.

"...Your Majesty, this..., minister..., it is really hard to understand..." Liu Mao was so shocked that he couldn't understand what the emperor meant.

"Nothing else, it's just a transport of victims. Today's disaster, I emigrate on a large scale, but some ordinary people who have property are unwilling to travel long distances and migrate thousands of miles to immigrate. They may seek refuge with relatives and friends, or sell their family's property. They have to go to the city to find a living, but suffer from the difficult journey, and there are even Xiaoxiao who beat them up on the journey, making them discouraged. If I continue to force them to immigrate, it is really unreasonable, and there are many ministers I wrote a briefing to my superiors about this matter. I thought of this and felt that my relief strategy is really useful! Therefore, I thought hard about the countermeasures and finally came up with a good way, which is to use the postal courier to spread all over the country. Taking advantage of the advantages of the prefectures and counties in the world, we can establish a courier system that can transport people. In this way, this group of people who are unwilling to immigrate, have some capital, want to seek refuge with relatives and friends, and want to do business in the city have a way of life. It is a good government, not to mention, the immigrants are going to Daliuqiu now. After hearing this, many disaster victims are even more unwilling to go. They would rather starve to death at home. Every time someone mentions this in the memorial, I can hardly sleep or eat! Can the Qing family understand my painstaking efforts?" Yang Reform said with a look of emotion.

"Woooo..., woooo..., Your Majesty, I can understand your Majesty's painstaking efforts. Your Majesty really broke his heart for the sake of the people of the world!
