Chapter 526 Opening

Sun Yuanhua looked at the interior of the carriage in a daze. The space for more than ten people is indeed quite large, and ordinary two-wheeled carriages cannot compare with this.

"It is indeed this kind of carriage. Master Sun is right. Once this kind of carriage is allocated to the post station, it will benefit our court. Your majesty's scheme is really not small!" Liu Mao also agreed with a smile, and now he has become In order to become a "confidant" who did great things for the emperor, the emperor used money to give him "political achievements".

"Amazing, amazing!" Sun Yuanhua looked in admiration. This kind of carriage weighed much more than the original two-wheeled carriage. If the carriages were changed all over the world, how much benefit would the world gain?All of them create greatness while moistening things silently.

"It's really powerful, it's really powerful..." Liu Mao became deaf again after hearing Sun Chengzong's words. The emperor's affairs are indeed courageous, but now he is in a dilemma. He still doesn't know how to open up for the emperor's work. , that face, I can't get rid of it all the time, and I'm hesitating between whether to show up in person.

"Oh, it looks like Mr. Liu has something to hide? I don't know if you can tell me, maybe I can help you." Seeing Liu Mao's expression of something to hide, Sun Yuanhua hurriedly asked.

"Hey, it's not a difficult task....Hey, let's just tell the truth. I really can't bear the shame. Your Majesty has repeatedly told me to do it myself. This...ah..." Liu Mao didn't want to talk to others at first. Speaking of his own embarrassment, Sun Yuanhua is different. Sun Yuanhua is Xu Guangqi's disciple, a person who has entered the emperor's eyes, a celebrity in the emperor's eyes, an imperial party, and an imperial party that is more "core" than him I told others that Liu Mao is still afraid of bad things and being laughed at by others, but this Sun Yuanhua is different. Now these carriages are made for him, but the steel used to make the carriages is where Sun Yuanhua came from. That is to say, in fact , They are people on the "one line", and it is perfect to tell him this problem and ask him to think of a solution.Immediately, Liu Mao spoke out all the difficulties he encountered.

"Oh, that's it!" Sun Yuanhua heard it and understood. This Liu Mao had a thin skin and couldn't bear it, and second, he had no experience in dealing with ordinary people and low-level people. After thinking about it for a while, Sun Yuanhua He has an idea. Today he is very happy and excited. He always wants to find something to vent his joy and excitement. Seeing that Liu Mao is in trouble for this matter, he doesn't mind going crazy and helping Liu Mao by the way.

"Hey..." Liu Mao sighed straight away. He had pumped himself up dozens of times, and every time he was full of breath, but when he really had to face those "low" people he looked down upon, the puffed up The energy disappeared, so repeated and hesitant, until today, his business has not opened yet.

"Hehehe, Mr. Liu, I am not talking about you. Since His Majesty has given you instructions on this matter, you have to do it according to His Majesty's instructions. This is the top priority!" Sun Yuanhua listened to Liu Mao's introduction, first hehe He laughed a few times, and then began to give Liu Mao some advice.

"That's, that's..." It's not that Liu Mao doesn't know what he's going to do, and he also knows what he should do, but every time it comes to a critical moment, he retreats, and he has formed a habit after repeated repetitions. I couldn't pull back my face even more, anxious and restless.

"...Hehe, I have experience in this matter, and there are many things I don't understand in steelmaking in Tianjin, and I have to consult those craftsmen from time to time, but I have never considered the issue of shame. Come, let's take a look at this... ..." After Sun Yuanhua finished speaking, he stretched out his hand for Liu Mao to see, in order to enlighten Liu Mao.

Sun Yuanhua's hands were covered with calluses and blisters. Obviously, Sun Yuanhua had done a lot to make cannons and steel. These hands are enough to explain the problem.

"Master Sun's hand... Alas, it can be seen that Master Sun often does it by himself! I admire, admire!" Liu Mao looked at Sun Yuanhua's hand and was stunned. No one would believe this hand. An official's hand, with calluses on it, is no different from a craftsman doing heavy work.Liu Mao looked at Sun Yuanhua, and immediately felt admiration. It seems that Sun Yuanhua did not rely entirely on Mr. Xu Ge!He is also a person with his own abilities. Compared with generals, he wants to be the emperor's confidant. If he wants to hide and hide, he may not be able to get into the emperor's eyes!
"Hey... Actually, Mr. Liu, there is no need to be afraid of losing face. We are doing this for the welfare of the people of the world. We are pleading for the lives of the people and for the safety of the people. Naturally, we should be fearless, even if it really hurts us. For the sake of the face, we should face up to the difficulties. I hang out with those craftsmen every day in Tianjin. I think those craftsmen are very kind and good. I will leave this matter to me to find a way. Master Liu listened to me. ..." Sun Yuanhua continued to explain,

"This, that is..." Liu Mao was having a fierce conflict in his heart. Sun Yuanhua's hands and words touched him a lot, and also made him more courageous.

"Well, I don't know how Mr. Liu is going to Tongzhou now. Your lord is not used to dealing with ordinary people like this. Stay here and say a few words for your lord. Sure enough, this business will start..." Sun Yuanhua is also enthusiastic Seeing that Liu Mao, who was about to "partner" with him to work for the emperor, was a little "afraid of being ugly", so he began to make arrangements for Liu Mao.He is familiar with Sun Yuan and has experience in dealing with ordinary people.

"This..." Liu Mao's face turned red, and he was even more embarrassed. The emperor repeatedly told him to do it himself, but he didn't dare to let others do it for him. It's only been a few days since the business has not opened, and he hoped that Sun Yuanhua would help him. I want to do it myself.

"My lord, don't hesitate, just tell me how long it will take from the capital to Tongzhou, and how much it will cost, I will stay here and shout for you..." Sun Yuanhua has been dealing with craftsmen for a long time, and he also has an old-fashioned heart, and he yelled carelessly. Dao, it looks like I have wrapped it for you, and I want to find a way to vent my inner feelings. Shouting loudly on the street is undoubtedly a good way to vent my inner joy. Dare to do...

"Here... to Tongzhou, Xiaguan has also run several times. It is a distance of forty miles to Luhe Station in Tongzhou. If it is the carriage of our two horses, it will be half an hour fast. If it is a little slower One point, it will take another quarter or two to arrive, the price, I really haven't figured out how much to charge, His Majesty wants to spread the business as soon as possible, but he can't lose money, this..." Liu Mao was a little embarrassed, and he planned to ask Sun Yuanhua to help him start, so he told his achievements in the past few days, that is, he tested how long it would take the capital to get to Tongzhou.

"That's it! Luhe Station, forty miles, that is to say, a trip every half an hour. If you change horses and continue running, there is no problem in running two or three round trips a day. If you run three or four round trips, I'm afraid I can run away, you alone charge him twenty cents, that's terrible!..." Sun Yuanhua began to settle accounts with Liu Mao.

"Uh, that's right, after running for a while, you have to rest for a while, otherwise, people can't stand it, and neither can horses..." Liu Mao quickly reminded.

"Oh, that's it! If you rent a carriage for a trip to Tongzhou, at least you have to pay four or five hundred Wen. You count as one person, four horses, and two round trips a day, that is, four times. I think Come on! One person will receive [-] Wen, and each trip will cost [-] Wen. If you run four times a day, two round trips, you will have [-] Wen. You need four horses for two trips a day. In rotation, there are three more horses than others. Each horse costs [-] yuan, and there are still [-] yuan. Besides the cost of one horse, there are still [-] yuan. You don’t need money for this carriage. , Give the groom another one hundred cash, at least three hundred cash, oh, it’s terrible, it’s terrible..." Sun Yuanhua concluded that this is a very profitable business after a calculation.

"This..." Liu Mao was even more embarrassed. Sun Yuanhua's account was really good. Apart from saving face, he was not sure whether the price was too high or too low.

"I see that the roof of your car can actually hold some things, not to mention the heavy ones, but the light ones. If you charge him a few pennies, you can charge forty or fifty pennies for a trip. , four trips a day, you can get another [-] wen, so you can get [-] wen a day, which is a lot..." Sun Yuanhua began to calculate carefully for Liu Mao, looking at the roof of the car while doing the calculation, so as not to lose a little space .

"... Horses don't cost more than [-] Wen a day, and coachmen don't need [-] Wen a day..." Liu Mao said with some embarrassment.

"Then it's not over, you can call it fifteen yuan, no, you can call it ten yuan, as for whether it is a loss or a profit, we will talk about it later, otherwise, it will be impossible to figure out why in the whole life, listen to me It's..." Sun Yuanhua said carelessly, and now he was more and more thinking about shouting on the street.

"Well, what Master Sun said makes sense." Liu Mao said, and Liu Mao rallied again and was ready to start the carriage business. As for whether Shi Wen lost money or made money, he was not sure.

"Okay! It's fine if you have an adult's words, let's see..." Sun Yuanhua is a person with strong hands-on ability, seeing that Liu Mao has already agreed.He started to act immediately, which was very different from Liu Mao, who dared not do anything after thinking about it for a few days.

……

On the big square of Liulizhai.

A young man in the clothes of a scholar, who seemed to be traveling, opened his voice and shouted: "Go to Tongzhou Le, go to Tongzhou Luhe Yile, ten renminbi a person, ten renminbi a person! Made in Ouchi!" Great carriage, sure, fast and cheap..."

"...Go to Tongzhou, go to Tongzhou Luhe Station, ten Wenqian, ten Wenqian per person..."

"...Tongzhou Luhe Station, ten coins..."

Sun Yuanhua opened his voice and shouted vigorously, he didn't care about his face, at this moment, knowing the emperor's overall plan, he just wanted to roar loudly to vent his inner excitement.Liu Mao was sweating profusely there, this Sun Yuanhua is really courageous!don't want to.

However, although it was called for a long time, no one came to take the car, but it attracted a lot of people to watch.

"Sun, shopkeeper Sun, I'm afraid it's not acceptable to call like that!" Liu Mao was very ashamed, seeing that Sun Yuanhua had been calling for a long time, but no one wanted to sit down, so he quickly reminded Sun Yuanhua.

Sun Yuanhua saw that many people surrounded him, but no one took a car, but he was not discouraged.

Sun Yuanhua called several attendants and gave instructions one by one. After listening, the attendants nodded.

After a while, a follower found a pen and paper for Sun Yuanhua, and Sun Yuanhua began to write on the ground, writing out big characters one by one.

There were literate people in the crowd who read it unconsciously.

"Advertise widely... Today there is a four-wheeled carriage going to Luhe Station in Tongzhou, ten coins per person, if you wish, hurry up, it can carry people and goods, you can listen to it..."

After Sun Yuanhua wrote a sheet, he asked someone to post it immediately.After writing two pieces, Liu Mao was also embarrassed, and blushed and followed Sun Yuanhua to write. Sun Yuanhua was not afraid of him, and he was hypocritical, which is really wrong.

So, the two wrote the "advertisement" in the open air. Sun Yuanhua wrote with enthusiasm and passion, while Liu Mao tried his best to keep his head down and his face flushed.

After writing for a while, another follower found some gongs for Sun Yuanhua.

Sun Yuanhua was even more interested. He took the gong, knocked on it, and shouted vigorously: "Today, there is a four-wheeled carriage going to Tongzhou Luhe Station, ten coins per person. If you wish, hurry up, it can carry goods and people... "

Hearing Sun Yuanhua shouting while beating the gong, Liu Mao was even more ashamed, so he could only lower his head even lower and pretended not to see it. This unknowingly loosened.

Sun Yuanhua seemed to have found something fun, and he peddled loudly in the square outside Liulizhai without embarrassment at all, attracting countless people to watch, so Liu Mao could only try his best to write "advertise it widely".

"Shopkeeper Liu, please come and call a few times, your voice is so hoarse..." Sun Yuanhua suddenly stuffed a gong into Liu Mao's hand, holding a gong in one hand and a clapper in the other.

"Kuu..." Liu Mao was led by Sun Yuanhua, and he knocked on the gong in embarrassment.

"...the big carriage to Tongzhou..." Sun Yuanhua shouted with Liu Mao beating the gong.

The onlookers were pointing and pointing, watching two lunatics hawking, but no one dared to cause trouble, they just suppressed their laughter, knowing that it is not easy for someone to hawk loudly outside this Liulizhai. After watching for a long time, one of the old men smiled and said, "Young students, young people, I heard from the little old man... Where are you doing business like this? If you are going to Tongzhou, of course you should go to Guangqumen, or Dongfang The convenient door is also fine, or the Yongding Gate is also fine, most of the people who go to Tongzhou go there, you call here, but here are some who don’t go to Tongzhou, isn’t it for nothing?” the old man kindly reminded.

"Thank you, old man..." Upon hearing this, Sun Yuanhua really made sense, and immediately thanked him.However, Sun Yuanhua did not intend to move.

After a while, the crowd was separated.A few people come in.

Those people were wearing uniform clothes, with the words "Liuli Zhai" written on the left chest. When the people watching in this square saw these people, they immediately separated. This is the territory of Liuli Zhai. , A group of people are ready to watch a good show.

"Dare to ask, but the carriage to Tongzhou?" asked a leader.

"Exactly, the four-wheeled carriage will be sent to Luhe Station in Tongzhou. It costs ten renminbi per person. You can carry people and goods, and it will arrive in half an hour..." Sun Yuanhua said earnestly there, holding a gong Look, as if this is a fun thing.

"Okay, my shopkeeper said that he just wanted to send a group of guys to Tongzhou to catch the boat, and there happened to be something wrong with the carriage. If it really only costs ten yuan per person, my shopkeeper is willing to try it, so as not to miss the boat... ..." said the leader.

"No problem, just come, you can come as many as you want, and there are seats included, and you will be sent to Tongzhou in half an hour..." Sun Yuanhua stopped beating the gong, and said there with a smile, he is happy today, and by This thing is crazy.

"Then I'm sorry, I'll go back to the shopkeeper next time." The lead guy said.

"You're welcome, you're welcome..." Sun Yuanhua laughed.

Those guys went back.

The crowd of onlookers also began to disperse, which is nothing to watch, the two lunatics really got the business, and it was from Liulizhai.

"Master Sun, this..." Seeing that the crowd of onlookers had dispersed, Liu Mao stopped knocking and asked Sun Yuanhua.

"It's nothing, I just asked Liulizhai for a favor, hehehe, otherwise, depending on the two of us calling here, when will it be able to open? No, with their help, this business will finally open... ..." Sun Yuanhua said with a smile.

"That is, thanks to Mrs. Sun's help, otherwise, the official will definitely miss what His Majesty explained." Liu Mao sighed and said, being surrounded by people, Sun Yuanhua yelled for a while, beating gongs and drums, His face has finally crossed that hurdle, and he no longer has any timidity.

"Hehe, you're welcome, Mr. Liu, now we are doing business for His Majesty, and we should support each other..." Sun Yuanhua said with a smile, seeing that Liu Mao's face is calm now, and he is no longer timid. Sun Yuanhua knows that he knocked today. Playing gongs and drums for a long time was not in vain. After today's trouble, this guy is afraid that he will never talk about face again. Today, I have lost all his "face".

……

After a while, many people came out of Liulizhai, boarded Liu Mao's carriage, and headed for Tongzhou. Sun Yuanhua also took a carriage and waved goodbye to Liu Mao. Liu Mao's first gift in a carriage The business has finally opened.

Everyone dispersed, but Liu Mao had some experience. When doing this errand, you really shouldn't be afraid of things, let alone be timid. If you have a thick skin, you should show your courage like Sun Yuanhua. If you are doing a job for the emperor, the emperor will naturally give it to you. Support yourself, what are you afraid of?Previously, I was afraid to act because of the timidity and self-ashamedness in my heart. Now that I have crossed that hurdle, I am not afraid of anything.

Liu Mao looked at the pens and papers on the ground, realized something, found his record book, and wrote down: Post notices everywhere and spread the word.

After Liu Mao finished writing, he looked at the gong that Sun Yuanhua threw there, and realized something, and wrote in his notebook: "Beat the gong and drum, and tell them along the street..."

After Liu Mao finished writing, he thought about it again, and wrote down the business situation today, how many people he sent, and how many papers he received in total, and recorded them in detail one by one.

After Liu Mao finished writing, he thought of something again. The business in Tongzhou has opened, so the public carriage in the capital should also open. Tomorrow, I will go to the carriage yard to ask for a carriage.In addition to posting a notice to go to Tongzhou, he had to post a notice for a penny to make a carriage. I couldn't be timid anymore.

After Liu Mao recorded everything, he closed the notebook with satisfaction, not paying any attention to the strange eyes of passers-by. Now his courage and shamelessness have been completely knocked out by Sun Yuanhua.Is there anything more embarrassing than beating gongs and drums and shouting for deals?
