"Luoyi Daily News?" Is this the arrival report from Luoyang?
Zhao Xi accidentally glanced at the header and realized that it was not the arrival report from Bianliang.
As if he had discovered something, Zhao Xi began to look through all the reports collected by the Imperial City Division these days.
"The official family...~the official family..."
Wang Zhongzheng thought something had gone wrong again and shouted timidly.
"By the way, Zhongzheng, among the newspapers collected in recent days, apart from Bianliang, which other state capitals are there?"
"Going back to the official home, the farthest ones are Chengdu Prefecture, Guangzhou, Quanzhou, and the nearest ones include Jingzhao Prefecture, Qinzhou Prefecture, etc. Almost all the dynasties have arrived in Shangzhou, or the state capitals where Cuju competitions are held have arrived.
newspaper industry.”
Wang Zhongzheng thought that the officials needed these things again, so he took out a small book from his sleeve, and he remembered which prefectures had received the reimbursements.
Ever since he was in the old guard camp, he had listened to the officials: a good memory is not as good as a bad writing. His thoughts are becoming more and more careful...
"Xuan Cao, the second lieutenant Gao...forget it, go back to the inner garden and call Zhao Qin for me."
Zhao Xi originally wanted to learn about the situation from the two captains Cao Gao, but then he remembered that he still had such a spokesperson...
Wang Zhongzheng was holding a stack of ceremonial gifts... Fortunately, the officials only randomly selected a few copies, otherwise the entire honor guard would have to be reported.
The summons from the official family had already been sent to Zhao Qin by the internal eunuch, and Zhao Qin was waiting in her own Zimingxuan...~ She was still of no rank after all, but because she was the spokesperson of the Neiyuan, she had a separate palace
.
Compared to the original three sisters, she was the luckiest and was not imprisoned by the entire palace wall.
Zhao Qin also understood where all this came from and was absolutely loyal to the official family.
"I have seen the official family...~"
"Xiaoqin, let me ask you, do you know these?"
Zhao Xi pointed to the arrival report in Wang Zhongzheng's arms... Only then did Wang Zhongzheng put the arrival report on the desk.
"Going back to the official home, all the prefectures, counties and counties in the country have started to report wherever there is a Cuju competition. Because the leader of the Cuju competition is the Lao Liu family, the entire Cuju competition in the country, the Lao Liu family has participated.
The same goes for arrival."
"Let's not talk about this for now. I want to know about the issue of the delivery of reports from the country to the various state capitals. For example, how did Bianliang's "Cuju Express" and "Shi Lun" reach other state capitals?"
"The official family...the official family...this is all paid for by the trading company..."
Zhao Qin thought that this matter had touched some taboo among the officials, so he hesitated, and his voice was so low that he could hardly hear it.
"What are you thinking about? I'll just ask you how you passed it on!"
Zhao Qin then raised his head and looked at Guan Jia... It didn't look like he was angry. Then he sorted out his thoughts and said: "Guan Jia, the earliest "Cuju Express" was in Gyeonggi Province and Jingdong, and Jingxi Road was in particularly high demand.
The trading company couldn't carry the goods on its own, so it reached an agreement with rail transportation. The trading company paid some money and used the passenger and freight carriages that traveled by rail to help the trading company bring the goods back to the two places."
"Later, due to the reduced cost of delivery, the demand became larger and larger, to the point where a rail carriage was needed almost every day, so the trading company signed a contract with the rail company. We did not use the imperial rail car in vain..."
"Well, you continue..."
"Later on, when the state capitals of the country had Cuju teams and there were Cuju competitions, the original buying stalls selectively opened competitions in other state capitals, which resulted in Bianliang also needing to understand other events.
Cuju competition in the state capital.”
"Later on, the Cuju Association planned to organize a national Cuju competition, which resulted in the need for Cuju-related shipments to be transported across the country. In the end, the trading company coordinated with the track party to ensure that the rail carriages could add an extra carriage at any time for the delivery of arrivals.
…”
After all, Zhao Qin was considered the leader among the merchants of the Song Dynasty. Although he was a little afraid of the officials, he could speak smoothly.
"Xiaoqin, how much does the trading company spend on shipping every year?"
"That's a lot! Not only the rail carriages, but also the Caoyun Yamen Trading Company has a contract. The trading company purchased Gongfangcheng's printing technology and equipment, and most of the reduced costs were subsidized for transportation."
"In the official family, slaves always listen to the official's words and do not bully others in business discussions. Not to mention our family, even the sixth family also obeys. The two Taiwei also said that money must be made together, and the country cannot be filled.
The six of us will have a good time."
"The two Taiwei also said that all the new properties of the dynasty belong to the official family, but the official family still gives these properties to the court that should be given to the court, and to the ministers and workers who should be sent to them. This is what a sage king is.
model..."
These two sentences sounded good, and Zhao Xi also listened to them.
At this time, Zhao Qin didn't look like a big shot in the business world. She acted like a little woman, as if she was acting coquettishly with her family.
"Zhongzheng, go and call the queen, I will stay here tonight..."
The official's words made Zhao Qin completely forget about business affairs. He was so excited that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet. He was so busy that he had to wait for the official to rest...~
Zhao Xi really didn’t do that...
"Xiaoqin, what I'm saying is that if, if we let a trading company contract the country's post office...contracting means paying some fees to the court every year, completing the necessary functions of the court, operating independently, and being responsible for its own profits and losses. Can the trading company support the entire post office?
Delivery system? Of course, it refers to the post stations set up in non-state capitals, and refers to those with foot delivery and horse delivery."
Zhao Qin was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment. She thought the officials were testing her, but it didn't look like it.
She must have thought about this before. There were many post stations in the country, and because of the emergence of tracks, most of them were idle. But the inns insisted on maintaining their official functions. Not only were the post horses idle, but the facilities at the inn were also being wasted.
.
Because the track laying is limited, it is impossible to penetrate all the counties and counties of the country. And when their trading company delivers the goods to the counties and counties, they rely entirely on foot power. Sometimes they take ox carts and donkey carts, which is very late.
After coming up with this idea, Zhao Qin also sent people to investigate the exchange of private letters and the transportation of small items. These could not be borrowed from the rail network, let alone the court's inn, and most of them were entrusted to merchants.
She felt that there were unlimited business opportunities here, so she mentioned it to the trading company, but the two lieutenants said that the matter was too big and they were worried that it would not be easy to pass in court.
At this time, the officials proposed...~
"The official family, that contracted the inn, how does it count if the official can use the inn for free with his official certificate?"
From hearing this, Zhao Xi knew that Zhao Qin had considered this matter.
"It can be converted into the court's contracting fee... ~ You should plan this matter carefully. If it can be successful, it can be regarded as resolving part of the expenses for the court, and at the same time, a separate transportation network can be established, which can be extended to the transportation network of the villages and towns of the country."
Judging from this meaning, there should be no need to explain business opportunities and prospects for the trading company. It seems that the merchants have considered this kind of thing, at least Zhao Qin has considered it.
Things have their own inevitable development... This is the truth.
With football, there are guilds, with Cuju Express, with postal services, with events, with gambling, and then with the needs of the logistics industry.
Maybe interests are the accelerator of society.
While the whole court was paying attention to this private political discussion, Zhao Xi thought of solving the problem of supporting the imperial court from the arrival report... Is this not doing his job properly?
