Chapter 884 The So-Called Details Are Already in Mind
Li Longji and his son finished eating a skewer, and Queen Wang asked someone to bring up other food, because the little guy couldn't eat so many fried skewers.
Li Longji simply took Li Yi into the water and put a floating tray on it.
"I heard from the news from the Political Affairs Hall that they have summoned many officials to discuss the details of the post station delivery you mentioned, and to increase the number of post stations."
Li Longji thought about the details and said to Li Yi.
"Post stations should be set up where there are people, and then the main road. It is better to take the main road and go around, rather than go to a place where there is no road, because the road cannot be repaired."
Li Yi was very afraid that someone with a weak brain would also build a post station in the deep mountains and old forests.
There is no one, and building a post station is to show that the Tang Dynasty is rich?
Whoever thinks so will be arranged to be the head of the post station, because the environment there is quiet.
"Do you want to arrange it all the way to the village?" Li Longji found that there was no detail in the Political Affairs Hall, only to the county, and it turned out to be to the county.
"It depends on how far the village is. If it is too far from the town, we will arrange it in the town, and the letters and parcels will be delivered by postmen.
It depends on the actual situation. We cannot urge the postmen to walk on dangerous roads, and we must speed up. In special weather, it is okay to be late.
The more such places are, the higher the income of the postmen should be, and it is best to select people from the village."
Li Yi felt uncomfortable when he talked about this. He admired the postmen of China Post the most.
Some villages are too remote, and other logistics and express delivery companies will not deliver them, so they are asked to pick them up in the town.
And if you go by post, the postmen will deliver them to the place.
At first, everything could be delivered, but later, packages that were too large would not be delivered to remote areas, but if it was a letter, it had to be delivered.
Of course, he admired it, but he did not use the post when he mailed the parcel because it was slow.
The Datang Post Station in Li Yi's mind should be like this. As long as you are still Datang and there are still people alive there, they will deliver it to you, and it will take a little longer.
"Oh." Li Longji said that he understood, and based on what Yidi said, the Zhengshitang thought to lean back.
"Brother Yi, they said that we should assign someone to manage the charging, and arrange for inspections to prevent the price from being set privately."
Li Longji continued to talk about the details, which were studied by the Political Affairs Hall.
Li Yi laughed: "Haha! Third brother, I printed some stamps, and the post station can sell stamps.
The distance and weight of the things, the stamps are as much as possible.
In this way, there is no need for supervision, and it is not possible without stamps.
Letters are relatively light, so you can save a lot and send them together, and the price will naturally be cheaper. There are one cent, two cents, three cents, four cents, five cents, six cents, seven cents, eight cents..."
"Do you have it now? Show me." Li Longji felt that the time he spent waiting for the Political Affairs Hall to study the details was a sheer waste.
"Yes, I put it in my pocket, ready to show it to Lao Bi whenever I meet him."
Li Yi said and winked at Ye Pao Qingsong next to him.
Qingsong got up and went to get Li Yi's clothes in his swimsuit.
After the clothes were brought over, Li Yi wiped his hands on the clothes and reached into his pocket.
Li Longji also wiped his hands on Li Yi's clothes and prepared to receive them.
Li Yi took out a stack of small stamps: "From one cent to one cent, there are ten kinds, from one to ten.
From one cent to one hundred cents, there are nine kinds, one, two, five, eight, ten, twenty, fifty, eighty, one hundred.
After that, there are two hundred cents, three hundred cents... one string. Above one string is ten strings.
For the time being, these are all, and they can be adjusted according to the actual situation in the future, and they can be changed at any time.
Printing one by one, the cost is low, and there is a little profit for one cent, but it is too little and can be ignored.
When mailing, there is no one cent, at least four cents, one cent, two cents, and three cents are used to make up the number."
Li Yi showed the stamps to Li Longji. The low-denomination pictures were not very complicated, but the coloring was the same as the exchange voucher.
The high-denomination ones are complicated to prevent others from counterfeiting.
If you want to forge less than ten cents, go ahead and make a profit.
Li Longji looked at the stamps: "From where to where, the weight of the letter and the weight of the parcel are all specified, and then the corresponding stamps are affixed? Do we need to stamp it?"
Li Yi gave a thumbs up: "Third brother is wise."
"Does this need to be affixed with glue? It is convenient, what are the small teeth around it for?" Li Longji found the edge of the stamp.
"The holes are made to facilitate the tearing of large stamps. As for the glue, it can be applied later, with a little water, even saliva."
Li Yi operated according to the stamps he had at that time, with joint holes and glue on the back.
Some people at that time didn't know and had to buy glue to affix it. In fact, a little water can be used.
Some people knew this situation and still bought glue. What is it for? Apply it on the surface of the stamp.
After stamping it, mail it, and use an eraser to erase the stamp, and it can be used again.
My former pen pal did this to save money and took advantage of the country.
Li Yi did the same thing. Now thinking about it, it is not that he feels that he is compared with the country, but he will smile. It is a memory of youth.
Li Longji didn't know Li Yi's memory, and he approved of this design.
"When the time comes, the post stations in various places will sell stamps, and the people will buy stamps, and no one will be able to get involved. It's a good idea.
The stamps are directly given to the localities, and the localities give the money to the court after selling them. If they want stamps again, they have to return the money to the localities.
Or the local post stations pay for the stamps, and return the unsold ones. The money is then sent back in the form of stamps of the same type according to the local demand for stamps?"
Li Longji thought about how to sell stamps. Low-value stamps should be easier to sell, but stamps with a face value of over 100 coins and xian are unlikely to sell well.
He knew why there were xian stamps, even 10 xian stamps.
It takes three or four days to send things from Qiongzhou to Yizhou or Chang'an in Shu.
This will start the post station's good horse sprint service for each of you, relaying from station to station, running 1,500 miles a day, or even more.
If the money is too little, it will not be sent to you, and too much power will be mobilized. This should be used for emergency military information by the court.
Li Longji thought about it and suddenly became stunned. After a moment, he looked at the stamps carefully again.
"Brother Yi, you use folk things to help the court pass messages, and when you solve the people's livelihood problems, you also help the court pass messages faster."
Li Longji thought so, Brother Yi was really...
"Third brother, I am improving a system, not targeting a single aspect. Of course, all aspects of the system actually benefit."
Li Yi felt that his third brother thought too much. The speed of information transmission of the army is of course important, but the overall express logistics of the Tang Dynasty is the most important.
The current Tang Dynasty can fight anyone, and it doesn't matter if the news is a few days late.
Because local officials will look for opportunities to dispatch, and the generals will not obey the orders of the king when they are away.
For example, according to historical records, the Sulu tribe is getting stronger and stronger. It is the general of the left Yulin appointed by the Tang Dynasty, and it is given salary and military supplies every year.
Then he became stronger and wanted to fight the Tang Dynasty. The local officials said I want to fight him, and Li Longji said no.
After a while, the local officials said that he colluded with Tubo and Dashi to fight us, and we have already sent troops.
It's already said that it's no good, and you're fighting them again. As for whether you really colluded with Tubo and Dashi, is it still important?
