From then on, Guanya Bureau's cargo transportation was divided into two types: "passenger transportation" and "freight transportation."
Even if you don't want to take the ride, as long as there is space, you can still pay the same amount.
After paying the money, you will receive a dental badge, use it to get on the bus and stay at the inn.
Both the Guanya Bureau and the inn recognize the sign but not the person.
If you don’t want to be squeezed into the same car with others, you can also rent a car.
Someone made an estimate.
According to this year's statistics, the number of people who have been elected is about one thousand.
Even if only half of it was transported through the Guanya Bureau, there would be 500 people, and with the hotel tips, thousands of taels of snowflake silver would be paid into the account.
And everyone knows that if you decide to take the exam, unless your family is very rich and can send servants and carriages to follow you, it is safest, most worry-free, and saves money to go with the official dental bureau.
Especially for those who have to cross the mountains from the southwest and southeast, no matter how many people are traveling together, they will all die the same death if they encounter robbers.
Therefore, the number of people who are asked to be transported by the Bureau of Civil and Dental Affairs must be far more than 50%.
For the Guanya Bureau, it is just a matter of convenience.
To put it bluntly, it is the difference between transporting dead and living animals, and the difference between using a cart and a horse-drawn carriage.
There are still the same number of escorts, just a few more horses and drivers.
Each Guanya post station can also earn a sum of money for food, accommodation and letters from each person, and they are all willing to take on this job.
As long as the science and technology continues, this business can be done every three years, which is simply a cornucopia of money trees.
In fact, when Zhu Bai was inspecting the Guanya Bureau, he had already ordered the Guanya Bureau in various places to build or buy small buildings next to Yuanyi Station and turn them into inns and separate courtyards.
It's just that the new inn is built according to the specifications of ordinary inns, without walls like city walls and small buildings like bunkers.
Then two guards were transferred from the Guanya Bureau Post Station to patrol every night, and others were hired to cook and clean there.
The station manager is under unified management.
The first-level official bureau has already begun to prepare the large carriage, and the post station is also sorting out and cleaning all the rooms and preparing food and vegetables.
No one thought there was such a business opportunity, but unfortunately it is of no use now that they know about it.
After all, no one has the ability to open branches all over the Ming Dynasty in just a few months, with inns along the way, and a transportation network that extends in all directions. It can use official roads and canals.
Therefore, no matter who it is, they can only watch Zhu Bai making money.
When Lao Zhu heard Erhu report this matter, he laughed so hard that he slapped his thigh: "What a great man we are. There are so many ways to make money that you can't think of. You really have tried everything. No money will fall into other people's pockets."
"
It's just that Zhu Bai's method of "freight" and "passenger transport" reminded some people why there is no need to work so hard on horseback. You can just take the carriage of Guanya Bureau.
Anyway, there are Guanya Bureau Stations all over the place.
If you don't have a carriage yourself and want to rent a carriage and driver, you will spend more money than paying the fare to the government office.
Especially for the elderly, young, women and children traveling, Guanya Bureau's "passenger" carriages are really a safe, efficient, convenient and hygienic choice.
Not only the common people think it is good, but many officials also think it is good.
After all, the salary given by Lao Zhu is small, so save it if you can.
If you just give money according to the price on the official board, it doesn't matter.
Guanya Bureau will deliver the goods as ordinary customers.
There are some people who want to take a ride but don’t want to pay.
I don’t know how many people the various government agencies have to turn away in a day.
Today, someone from the Shanxi Chief Secretary's first-level official bureau came. He was wearing a third-grade official uniform, and he seemed a bit arrogant.
The boss behind the Guan Ya Bureau is Lao Zhu, and the actual operator is King Xiang, so he is used to seeing first- and second-class officials, so the people in the Guan Ya Bureau are not timid at all.
The man came in and said, "I'll let you have teeth."
After all, the tooth chief of the Guan Ya Bureau is the one who opens the door for business, and he has no airs. He hurriedly came over and saluted: "Hello, sir, I am the tooth chief of the Guan Ya Bureau. Is there anything I can do for you?"
This is the standard way of greeting that Zhubo has trained them to do.
The man frowned: "Do you know who I am?"
Ya Chang looked at the man and answered honestly: "I don't know."
I don't know who you are. But you are the first one to call yourself "Master Hou" as soon as you come in.
You are a third-grade petty official, what are you doing?
The man was a little angry and said: "I am the Marquis of Ji'an, Lu Zhongheng. I have made great contributions to the capture of the bandits. I have been recalled by the emperor to receive a reward from heaven."
Does this have anything to do with our official dental bureau?
Ya Chang replied patiently: "Oh, I see. What can I do for you?"
Lu Zhongheng said: "I want to commandeer your carriage to respond to the sky."
Ya Chang didn't understand and asked: "Rent?"
Lu Zhongheng blushed: "Requisition, requisition means not to pay, but to use it directly."
Chief Ya shook his head: "I'm sorry. The carriages of the Guan Ya Bureau can only be requisitioned by the emperor's decree."
The implication is, who are you? You dare to commandeer the official carriage.
Lu Zhongheng understood and became more and more angry.
He didn't dare to attack the people in the Guanya Bureau. He gritted his teeth and took a whip and whipped it at the officials who were about to get on the carriage: "Who do you think you are? You dare to snatch the carriage from me. I am in the mountains to arrest you."
Bandits, I have been risking my life to protect you unscrupulous people. What’s wrong with riding in a carriage?! Shouldn’t it be?!”
Everyone screamed and ran away to avoid it.
Ya Chang was afraid that he would hurt the examinee, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, Mr. Lu, please take this carriage away."
These people all have meritorious status. If they are injured here, the officialdom will not be able to escape their involvement.
Moreover, Zhu Bai also said not to have any impulse with the court official, but to endure it beforehand and report it to him.
Only then did Lu Zhongheng stop his hand, and pointed the riding crop at the fangs fiercely: "How good would it be if you got to know each other earlier? If you don't drink a toast, you will be punished with a drink."
He asked the guard to hitch the horse, and then the guard drove the cart. He got on it and drove away.
The guests said: "Why are you doing this? You took the money and gave our car to others."
"That's right, they even hurt us."
Ya Chang said hurriedly: "Everyone, please be patient. I will call for a new car right now."
The car that Chief Ya called was newly customized and planned to be upgraded to a first-class seat in the future. It was much more comfortable than the simple carriage just now, but it still charged the previous price.
Naturally, these nobles didn't have any objections, so they got in the car and left.
Lu Zhongheng proudly arrived at Yingtian in a free car, then stopped the carriage in front of the Guanya General Administration Bureau, took the horse and drove away.
He met a man on the way. The man came over, grabbed his wrist, and whispered: "Master Hu Weiyong asked me to tell Mr. Lu that you are in danger."
Lu Zhongheng was confused and was about to ask more questions.
The man had already gone away in a flash.
The more Lu Zhongheng thought about it, the more wrong he became, so he asked someone to inquire, only to find out that the people who had been threatened by him with his whip that day had also jointly filed a lawsuit against Lao Zhu, saying that he was "taking advantage of the common people, running rampant in the countryside, without the king's laws, and unscrupulously."
