Chapter 612 Big deal (4)
These people also learned the news that Sitong Express received 1000 taels of freight from the imperial court to transport a large amount of grain and grass to Zhongzhou.Everyone was talking about the Stone Express that turned out to be out of nowhere, and they all speculated who the owner behind the Stone Express was.

There was a gorgeous carriage in the convoy, and the eldest son Zhou Qi was sitting in the carriage, muttering to himself, Four-way Express, this is a new thing.I don't know who came up with this idea, yes, yes.If the palace had such a transportation line that ran through the whole country and extended in all directions, the outcome of the war would be really unpredictable.It is said that the boss of Sitong Express is in the capital, and when he arrives in the capital, he must find a chance to meet and see who it is.

Three days earlier than the time stipulated by the court, the goods arrived at Zhongzhou Wharf.The Zhongzhou garrison sent people to pick up the grain and grass, check the quantity, and count the goods.Sure enough, there was no loss at all, and the seal was not even touched.How much was shipped from the granary of the Ministry of Households is how much it is now.What it was then, is what it is now.This four-way fast luck is very good.

The Zhongzhou garrison signed for the goods, and when the news reached the capital, the whole city was in an uproar. They couldn't believe that Sitong Express had finished the matter.However, many people are skeptical that this order of four-way express must be a loss-making business.No one believed that Stone Express could deliver goods for 1000 taels and still make money.

The vast majority of people who think this way.When the freight bill and the list of goods signed by the Zhongzhou defenders were placed on the emperor's desk, the emperor sighed. "Aiqing, Sitong Express must be making money at a loss."

The elder Han Ge lowered his eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty, this is the account book delivered by Sitong Express. They said they asked the Emperor to have a look at it. They will definitely make the accounts open and property transparent as promised."

"Bring it to me to see."

The account book was delivered, and the emperor opened it and looked carefully.The ledger details the transportation cost of this single shipment.After deducting the cost, what Xiao Mingyu said at the beginning was fulfilled, and he really made a profit of 500 taels.

The emperor burst out laughing immediately, "Great kindness. The Four Links Express is indeed extending in all directions. It is amazing to be able to achieve such an achievement in such a short period of time." The emperor was also rejoicing at the same time. People are trustworthy people, otherwise, if ambitious people are allowed to control Sitong Express, then the country will be in danger, and the court will be in danger.

A complicated light flashed in the emperor's eyes.In a blink of an eye, he laughed again, "Reward, there are many rewards. Come, I will reward Xiao Jiamingyu with 1000 taels of silver, 100 taels of gold, ten bolts of silk, ten bolts of wrought iron, and ten bolts of brocade. I will reward the survivor of the Xiao family, Han's Dongzhu." , and the rest are the same as Xiao Shimingyu."

Old Han Ge frowned, he didn't believe that the emperor didn't know that Xiao Mingyu's mother was the Han family.It makes sense for the emperor to reward Xiao Mingyu, what to reward the Han family.

"The Han family deserves great credit for raising such an intelligent daughter." The emperor looked at Elder Han Ge with complicated eyes, as if he was explaining to Elder Han Ge.

Han Ge immediately lowered his head, hey, the man opposite is the emperor.If it were someone else, the Han family could stand up for Xiao Mingyu, so that no one would know that Sitong Express had something to do with Xiao Mingyu.But for the emperor, any cover-up by the Han family is a joke.I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing for Xiao Mingyu to come up with this heaven-defying Four-way Express, or whether it's good or not.Forget it, forget it, things have come to this point, we can only let nature take its course, we cannot force it.

When the reward was delivered to the Xiao family, Xiao Mingyu was still normal, but Han's face changed drastically, as if something very bad had happened.Xiao Mingyu stood in front of Han calmly, blocking the prying eyes of the palace servants.Accept the emperor's reward and send away the visitors from the palace.The rewards were placed in the hall, and Xiao Mingyu looked at Mrs. Han worriedly, "Mother, are you okay?"

Han frowned, "Ming Yu, mother does not object to your business, what you do is really beneficial to the common people, mother should support you. But next time, can you not make such a big deal?" It’s best not to disturb the emperor in the palace. Since you’re doing business, let’s do it quietly.”

Xiao Mingyu smiled wryly, not knowing how to tell Han.Doing business quietly, of course.It's nothing more than doing some buying and selling business, or opening a shop.A shop with the most lucrative income is only a few thousand taels of silver a year.The income of Reversi Chess Club is high, and after a year, it is only 3 to 10 taels.This is completely incomparable with the soap factory opened by Xiao Mingyu, the four-way express, and the wool textile that will be launched soon.For these businesses, the monthly income is tens of thousands of taels, or even [-] taels.Comparing the two, which one is better and which one is worse, needless to say, anyone with eyes knows it.

If it was simply to open a shop, Xiao Mingyu had already done it when he was in Zhongzhou.The reason why she doesn't want to open a shop is because she looks down on one aspect. On the other hand, it is also the main reason. She is not an aboriginal, she is a time-traveling woman, and she has to do something to prove that she exists in this era.Whether it is good for herself or for the society, if she does something, it will not be in vain for God to let her live a new life.How could Xiao Mingyu satisfy Xiao Mingyu's ambition by opening a small shop.Only by becoming bigger and stronger, and becoming the only one in this world, can Xiao Mingyu truly stretch his ambitions.

These words could not be uttered, Xiao Mingyu could only smile wryly in return.Promise Han, try to be as quiet as possible in the future, and try not to disturb the person in the palace.But Xiao Mingyu felt that his guarantee was a fart.The emperor has begun to pay attention to her, and in the future, as long as she does something, she will not be able to escape the emperor's eyes.I just hope that the emperor will be scruples about gossip at any rate, and rewarding her alone is enough, so don't reward Han Shi again, lest Han Shi be frightened.

Because of the emperor's reward, the voices that originally suspected that Stone Express was losing money and yelling gradually became smaller.As time passed, some well-informed people revealed that the business done by Stone Express not only did not lose money, but also made money.For a while, Sitong Express became the center of discussion again.

With the spread of the news, more and more people know that there is a trading company that provides cargo escort, and the name is Sitong Express.All of their employees are wearing red vests, and the words "Sitong Express" are written on the back of the vests.The reputation of Stone Express has spread, but there are still many people watching.Of course, many people like to try something new.Some people simply want to see how Stone Express delivers and receives the goods, so they send an express even if they have nothing to do.As the reputation spread, more and more people tried to cooperate with Stone Express.Gradually, the employees who had nothing to do before became busy.In the end, it was almost too busy.It never occurred to me that there would be so many people sending things.Obviously there was none before.

The fifth room of the Xiao family also received letters and items delivered by Sitong Express.The letter is from Han Che and Xiao Mingzhen. The two are patrolling the Four-way Express in other places to establish a stronghold.With Han Che around, things went smoothly.As long as you reveal your identity, the local yamen will cooperate in all aspects.Any obstruction, without the need for Sitong Express, the government will directly help solve it.Only now did Xiao Mingyu truly realize how powerful the emperor's words were.As long as the emperor has been supporting Sitong Express, no one can stop the expansion of Sitong Express.
