The daughter of the splendid good fortune is respected

Chapter 610 Big deal (2)
Those recruited in Zhongzhou were sent directly to Lingnan.Feng Changgen has already laid down his foundation in Lingnan, but the relationship there is complicated. It is beneficial to use local people, but he also needs to guard against the backlash of local people.The person Xiao Mingyu sent just happened to solve Feng Changgen's difficulties.At the same time, a trading company named Sitong Express was quietly established.This business company is registered in the Yamen, and all the formalities have been completed.It is the existence of the delivery of letters and goods belonging to the people besides the imperial court station.

Of course, the establishment of this Sitong Express is also due to the support of the Han family.Without the mediation of the Han family, which fundamentally changed the method of the ancestors, Xiao Mingyu's four-way express would not be possible.What's more, in order to make this career bigger, Xiao Mingyu also attracted many people to join in.This time, the shares of Stone Express include Xiao Mingyu, Cheng Geer, Xiao Mingzhen, the Han family, King Fu, Minister of Rites, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and even the emperor.The complexity of shareholding composition is simply unprecedented.But his safety is also unprecedented.In the whole country, even overseas, Xiao Mingyu believes that in a few years, Stone Express will become a giant, and all escort agencies will have to work for her.

Looking at this business, the profit is also thin, and all he earns is a little freight money, but Xiao Mingyu is confident that in a few years, his profit will shock everyone and make everyone look at him with admiration.

In order to show that the role of Stone Express is not only to pay taxes for the court and make money for the emperor, Xiao Mingyu took advantage of the end of the war to recruit a large number of retired and disabled soldiers and let them become employees of Stone Express.As long as you do it for 20 years, you will get a generous pension.If there is a casualty at work, Stone Express will give a generous pension and help the deceased employee raise their children until they grow up.

This is a favorable condition that has never been seen in the entire country.In an instant, the biggest problem for the court and the emperor was solved, how to arrange for disabled veterans.These soldiers have military exploits, and when they retire, the imperial court will give them a sum of money for retirement as usual.The amount was not large, and it couldn't support the large number of people. Once calculated, the imperial court would have to pay millions of taels to completely send these people away.

But now the imperial court does not need to spend a penny, and all this burden is thrown to the newly established Stone Express.

Stone Express wants to solve the employment of these people and also solve the problem of silver. Even if he is a giant in the future, he is still extremely weak at the moment.Xiao Mingyu came up with an idea to pay in installments.The retired silver taels of all veterans and disabled soldiers shall be paid in two years.At the same time, they can also receive a salary from Sitong Express every month.That is to say, within two years, they can receive two silver coins every month.

This approach has been the response of most people.Xiao Mingyu also left a name with the emperor because of this move.

Han Ge said directly to Xiao Mingyu, "Although you are a woman, although you have never gone to the battlefield to kill, but you have achieved this achievement, which is more important than those generals who went to the battlefield. Such a great achievement, no reward is not enough to convince people. The old man fought hard for you with the emperor, four-way express transportation, tax exemption for five years. As long as there are four-way express transportation, the government will open the door for convenience. However, you have to restrain those people. Those who have retired from the army are irritable, and if there is a big trouble, maybe the emperor will take back his previous promise, and even the four-way express will be banned."

Xiao Mingyu solemnly thanked him. With the support of the government office, it is already a certainty that the four-way express will be expanded.As for how to restrain those Qiu Ba, Xiao Mingyu had already thought of a very good way, that is to fine money, heavy fines.It doesn't matter if you make some small mistakes in your work.But if you fight, gather crowds to gamble, and make trouble with local people, especially if you go to the yamen, you will definitely be punished severely.

All recruited personnel must participate in unified training to learn how to deliver goods, how to provide considerate service, and how to spread the reputation of Sitong Express as quickly as possible.At the same time, Xiao Mingyu also unified the clothing, each with a red vest.I originally wanted to use a yellow vest, it looks eye-catching.It's just that yellow is a color exclusively used by the royal family. Although the control is not as strict as when the country was founded, Xiao Mingyu still doesn't want to challenge the rules of this world.Everyone is doing business to make money, why take the initiative to let people have the opportunity to criticize Sitong Express, themselves and the backers behind them.

The red vest, with the four characters of Sitong Express engraved on the back, and the local contact address.In short, do everything possible to publicize the reputation of Stone Express.

After the short-term training, the employees in Beijing took the lead in starting work.

The first business that Stone Express did was to help the imperial court transport grain to Zhongzhou and other counties that needed disaster relief.As for the consumption on the road, it is all borne by Stone Express.But the imperial court had to pay enough for the freight.Because it was the first business order, Xiao Mingyu specially approved that he could take the order first, wait for the goods to be delivered to the place, sign for receipt, and then find someone to collect the shipping fee.For this business, Xiao Mingyu issued a waybill fee of 1000 taels.

The shipping bill for 1000 taels was placed on the emperor's desk. The emperor frowned and asked, "With 1000 taels, can we send so much grain to Zhongzhou without loss?"

Old Han Ge was silent, he was also suspicious.

The emperor said again, "As far as I know, if the Ministry of Households sends people to deliver food, the freight plus the consumption on the road will cost at least a few thousand taels. Why can the four-way express delivery be delivered for 1000 taels? Could it be that what you did was Losing business."

Mr. Han Ge was silent for a moment, and then said, "Sitong Express, the emperor also invested money. And I said at the beginning that this year's bonus and account books will be sent at the end of the year. I think it should not lose money. And Sitong Express, if you want To help the imperial court settle important matters, the amount of silver needed is not a small amount. If it is a loss-making business, then there is no need for the four-way express to continue. But why only charge a mere 1000 taels, I can’t figure it out. When you are far away, you need a large number of people, so how can 1000 taels be enough?" Shaking his head, like the emperor, he was equally puzzled.

The emperor frowned, "If that's the case, then I'll see how Sitong quickly uses the 1000 taels to transport the imperial court's grain to Zhongzhou."

In Xiao Mingyu's study room, discussions about the 1000 taels were also going on.The person who discussed with Xiao Mingyu was Xiao Mingzhen, "Mingyu, this business has lost money. At least 2000 taels is enough."

Xiao Mingyu said with a smile, "If you charge 2000 taels, who will ask us to deliver things with Sitong Express in the future. Don't worry, you won't lose money if you charge 1000 taels, at least you can earn 500 taels."

Xiao Mingzhen was shocked, "How is that possible? It's a long way to Zhongzhou, and 500 taels is not enough to consume. Mingyu, don't coax me."

Xiao Mingyu smiled, "How can I coax third brother. Please look at third brother."
