Chapter 1207: A Ray of Sunshine Under Pressure
Thanks to the book friends: the leader of 'Shui, Ruohan' gave a reward, the twenty-sixth leader, thank you!
…
The Mansion of the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies was in full swing. After several days of quarreling like in a vegetable market, an agreement was finally reached, and everyone smiled, feeling relieved.
The same is true for Meng Ying. As the person who presides over the "dividing fat", he has been coordinating the interests of all parties, and he is physically and mentally exhausted. Now he just wants to go home and have a good rest for a few days, and sit in the study and read a book.
Turning around and looking at those guys who looked satisfied, Meng Ying frowned and said, "Go back, this matter cannot be discussed outside."
A group of warriors!
Meng Ying shook her head, she really wanted to throw these guys into martial arts and remake them.
After everyone had left, a confidant dared to ask: "Master Hou, without the participation of the British government and others, we will finish allocating the students. Will they..."
There were several piles of snow in the yard, and there was still no green on the ground. Meng Ying said in a trance, "The British Duke and An Yuanhou refused to come here to discuss matters, just to show His Majesty. They want to enjoy their wealth and wealth, and this Duke But sitting in this seat is helpless.”
"If the names cannot be confirmed before the start of martial arts, all forces will take the opportunity to recruit people. Who dares to reject so many people? Who dares to offend so many people? It's difficult!"
The confidant also agreed: "Master Hou, only stunned youths like Xing and Bo Na can offend all civil and military officials at the same time."
Meng Ying smiled wryly and said, "He's not stupefied, that's all, that's all. Compared to him, I'm really a dog."
"Go, talk to Jin Zhong."
Jin Zhong didn't come to the meeting either, but just watched with cold eyes.
When they arrived at Jin Zhong's house, they learned that Jin Zhong had gone to the big market outside the city. Not only did he go, but many officials and common people also went there.
Meng Ying thought nothing to do, so she went out of the city to the big market.
Today's big market is really crowded, and the only thing missing is the din of gongs and drums.
The entourage looked at the crowd in front of them, but Meng Ying squeezed in without hesitation.
Amidst the yelling and cursing, the commoners fell silent when they saw Meng Ying's brocade robe, and silently squeezed out a passage for him to pass through.
In peaceful times, no common people would dare to compete with officials, even if they were just watching the excitement.
Meng Ying nodded slightly, walked to the front, and then the smile on her face froze.
The big market is in rows, with wide streets in the middle.
These streets are paved with stone slabs to allow traffic to pass.
The stone road is good, at least in rainy days there will be no potholes and nowhere to go.
But now the stone road is beyond recognition, with sleepers and rails laid in the middle, and several carriages are running briskly on it.
Meng Ying looked to the left, the railway track should lead directly to the warehouse. And the right side, extending from the middle of the street, should have penetrated the big market.
Several carriages drove outside a shop, and a few clerks came out of it. They took out a pulley rack and easily unloaded the goods on the carts onto the small carts.
The threshold is removed, and the small cart directly pulls the goods in, and the whole process of transporting goods is over.
"It's amazing! I used to come here to carry goods. First, I went to the warehouse to load the goods, and then followed the carriage to this side, and carried them in one by one. Now I don't need people, hey! Where will this strength go in the future? make it go?"
"Go to the pier! The pier needs to... Tsk tsk! If the pier also uses this, there will be less hard work in the future."
"Besides, this carriage has pulled a lot more than before, and the horse is also relaxed..."
"..."
Meng Ying also went to Jubaoshanwei that day, and saw the rail carriage. At that time, he thought that this thing would not be put into use for at least a few years, who knows...
"Ask, who bought this thing?"
According to Fang Xing's virtue, if he wanted something from him for free, he would pluck the feathers from the iron cock.
A young man shrank to the side, and said respectfully: "My lord, it is said that the household department bought it, and then each family will share it."
Tracks, carriages, pulley blocks, carts...
This was premeditated!
Is Xia Yuanji crazy?
Xia Yuanji is not crazy,
He was yelling in the big market ahead.
"It's fine if you don't pay, then his carriage won't even try to get on the track."
If you don't go up, you won't go up! Can't my wagon pull the load without the tracks?
But this is a batch market, and a large number of goods come in and out every day. If other people's efficiency is higher than yours, and the cost is less than yours, why do you compete?
The key is that those pushcarts and pulley blocks are all matched, and you can make them yourself, but where can you find a master.
"The pulley block has been carefully calculated. How many pulleys are used for the amount of goods, and they are clearly marked on it. It is really convenient! My lord, the younger ones will be paid."
"With this set of tools, the store saves a lot of labor, which is a good deal!"
From the warehouse to the store, this set of things is like an assembly line, fast and convenient.
When these businesses are in good business, they have to pull dozens of trucks a day. Now with this set of things, there are up to ten carts a day, and the horses are not tired.
Meng Ying had already walked to the side, listening to several businessmen beside them discussing how to use the carriage to transport the goods, so as to save the cost of the driver and the carriage.
"Let's raise some carriages together!"
A businessman said: "Everyone pays together and collects money according to the number of shipments, so that no one loses, how about it?"
"good idea!"
Businessmen are creatures that pursue profit maximization. As long as they can save costs, let alone science, they are willing to pursue anything.
This is moistening things silently!
Xia Yuanji worked very hard today, dealing with these merchants in person as the Minister of the Household Department.
"Find these things yourself, as long as you don't violate the law, no one will interfere!"
Xia Yuanji was very kind, and made a group of businessmen who rarely deal with high-ranking officials very excited, one by one stepped forward to make friends.
And Jin Zhong was also there, but the old guy was not interested in listening to Xia Yuanji's outfit comparison, so he directly grabbed a carriage and went to test it himself.
It was very easy, Jin Zhong drove the carriage over from the warehouse with a little rustiness, and the original coachman ran along the railroad track with sweat on his face, fearing that the old man made a mistake and his family would be in trouble.
The carriage was driving all the way, and the speed was getting faster and faster. Xia Yuanji was casually parrying the merchants' flattery, when he saw the carriage rushing towards him, he jumped off the rails.
This old guy is going crazy!
The owner of the carriage was by Xia Yuanji's side. He watched the carriage go faster and faster in fear, when he suddenly heard a rattling sound.
The carriage slowed down slowly, and finally stopped not far from Xia Yuanji.
"Hahahaha! Good stuff! Master Xia, give me a carriage like this. Also, the Ministry of War manages a lot of warehouses, can you lay this kind of rails?"
Xia Yuanji shook his head, and said angrily: "The Ministry of Industry has taken over this matter, and Xing Hebo came up with this set. It's gone, that's all for the whole Daming."
Jin Zhong felt a little regretful when he heard this, and when he got off the car and saw Meng Ying, he said, "Marquis Baoding is busy with state affairs? He really is a role model for my generation."
Seeing the people in front of her turn their heads, Meng Ying forced a smile and said, "There are no state affairs, it's just to discuss some small matters."
Xia Yuanji said with a smile: "The Marquis of Baoding is also interested in this carriage?"
Meng Ying's smile became more and more farfetched, "No, Meng is just here to buy some things."
As soon as Fang Xing was kicked out of martial arts, no matter how thick-skinned Meng Ying was, she couldn't flatter these things.
Xia Yuanji ignored him, chatted with those merchants for a few words, then said that he had something to do back home, and left with Jin Zhong.
Why are they here?
Those who celebrate Chinese New Year are not resting at home, come out to stand for Fang Xing!
Moreover, the Ministry of Household Affairs would actually invest in paving the way for the big market, Xia Yuanji can be called Fang Xing's best friend!
Meng Ying was a little gloomy, he walked towards the outside slowly, the attendant behind him led the horse, trying to remind him that that was not the direction to go home, but Meng Ying stopped, bowed her head and walked towards a fence.
The fence was newly built, but in the cracks in the corner, Meng Ying saw a little green.
There is still snow on the side, but this green is like a ray of sunshine piercing the dark clouds, which is particularly dazzling...
