Gao Yicheng himself said that he had retired from the army and his legs were a bit lame. The officers from his hometown felt sorry for him and arranged this job for him.
When Qin Yao and others were camping near the post station, Xin Yi Cheng also lent them the kitchen. He was a very enthusiastic person.
Before leaving Zhulin Station, Qin Yao completed a small deal with the new postmaster.
The convoy will still use this road in the future, so she hopes that the convoy members can have a safe place to stay.
So we reached a verbal agreement with Xinyi Cheng. From now on, every time the convoy arrives at the post station, if there are no officials living in the hall, the convoy people can rest here for a night, or borrow a kitchen and get hot water or something, which is convenient. .
Qin Yao is willing to pay a monthly fee of 100 Wen and hand it over to Yi Cheng privately.
Yi Cheng's monthly salary is actually not high, it is only two or three coins, plus some benefits from the local government, and his own small rights.
“Don't worry, you don't need to drink. As long as I'm here, no one dares to force you to drink. We won't drink if we don't want to.” Qin Yao said with a confident smile.
The opening was very harmonious. Jiang Wen asked about the production progress halfway through and was relieved to learn that the July delivery volume could be delivered as scheduled.
Earlier, all the coachmen were together, so it was difficult for him to tell. Now only his family was left, dragging Liu Fei who wanted to go out to find Qin Yao.
With this successful case, Qin Yao later talked about two more such places to stay, but he was not as easy to talk to as Gao Cheng. They were all old-timers, and they looked down on this little one hundred cents. They asked for two hundred cents a month. You are not allowed to live in an empty house, but you are only allowed to rent an open space for parking.
Before entering Dengyun Tower, Qin Yao motioned to the two of them to show off their momentum, raise their heads and chests, and stop being timid.
Speaking of this, Qin Yao suddenly remembered that Shunzi should be brought with her. Liu Bai and Liu Fei could mingle with the boys in the countryside, but when it came to formal occasions, their mouths seemed to be sewn shut.
Liu Fei shook his head, "Sixteen...isn't too small."
Liu Bai understood a little bit, rubbed the back of his head in annoyance, and said a little embarrassedly: "It's all my fault, the second brother, who has been settling accounts in front of me all day long. All I can think about is how to save money for these things."
Although I have traveled to the county town before and dealt with many people, can those small traders and the famous Fulong Trading Company be the same thing?
Tonight was a private round for both parties. Jiang Wen did not call anyone else. He only called Shopkeeper Fang, a lumber merchant whom they knew well. Tomorrow the convoy was going to the warehouse to load timber, so Liu Bai and Liu Fei could meet Shopkeeper Fang in advance. Discuss it.
Qin Yao signaled Liu Fei to arrest him, "I have already asked the waiter to feed the horse, so you don't need to worry about it."
Seeing the worries of the two of them, Qin Yao comforted them: "Don't panic, although Fulong Trading Company has a great reputation, our Liujia Village will have a great reputation in the future. We are all civilians. Don't take your status too low." ”
Hence, if you want to do something convenient for the fleet, as long as it does not affect the normal operation of the post house, Yi Cheng is willing to give it more or less.
Jiang Wen had seen Qin Yao's temper before. When he saw her coming, he asked if he wanted to drink two drinks. Qin Yao said no, so he gave her an ice drink instead.
Qin Yao had just accepted Jiang Wen's dinner invitation and was busy going out. She asked her two brothers to follow her and asked questions as she walked out:
“What is the first rule of the fleet code?”
On the first night after arriving in Fucheng, Liu Bai didn't bother to see the bustle and bustle of Fucheng. He hurriedly came to Qin Yao to tell Qin Yao about the half a tael of silver.
Liu Ji is particularly strong in this regard - he can even tell lies when he sees ghosts!
When they heard that they were going to see a big client, the two brothers panicked.
That is to say, this prosperous country has not yet developed the insurance industry, otherwise everyone in it would have to take out an accident insurance every year.
We are all people who have to support their families, who would dislike having more money in their hands?
But this is already good. With the protection of the government station, there will be less trouble along the way.
Liu Bai paused for a moment. It turned out that he was really bad at reading. He could barely memorize it during the training. It had only been four days since he had reviewed it, so his memory was a little blurry.
“Actually, there is no need to find a post house. The convoy is full of big men, so we can just make do with it.”
Qin Yao slapped his arm funny, "What are you talking about? Who told you to drink? How old are you? Are you over eighteen?"
Qin Yao was not good at educating her eldest brother, so she caught Liu Fei in front of him. The young man was so frightened that he swallowed hard, "Third sister-in-law, you said how much you want to drink, I will give it to you!"
Qin Yao looked at Liu Bai: "Safety comes first. They are all people with families. Follow us out. If we can't all go back together, how can I explain to their families?"
The two brothers' hearts suddenly dropped.
Liu Bai felt a pang in his heart when he saw that Qin Yao had given away half a tael of silver without writing any note. He also told him, the captain, to remember to continue doing this next time he came.
Liu Fei is still young and has a better brain, so he replied: "The first rule of the motorcade is to put road safety first, otherwise your loved ones will regret it!"
Liu Fei gave his eldest brother a funny look, and walked a few steps quickly to catch up with Qin Yao. While looking at the colorful lanterns in front of him, he asked curiously: "Sister-in-law, where are you taking us?" "Go." Meet our big client, Jiang Wen, the second shopkeeper of Fulong Trading Company, who works with us on bookcases. He is treating us to dinner today. I will take you over to meet him. From now on, I will leave all the dealings with Fulong Trading Company to you and my eldest brother. , I won't come next time.”
“We are cooperating for mutual benefit, not for him to give us alms. Equality is very important, not only for us, but also for the business. No one wants the partner they cooperate with to show lack of confidence.”
With the post house, at least everyone in the convoy can have a safe place to rest.
Take your time, who doesn't do this the first time?
The two of them did as they were told, but looking at the brightly dressed, chatting and laughing guests around them, their eyes were still a little empty.
Besides, it was also a verbal agreement, so no one would be caught off guard, so Yi Cheng readily agreed.
“Why don't you let me go with you? I just remembered that I have to go back to feed the horses!” Liu Bai said nervously.
In the future, I will see more and more, and I will know what these beautiful things are like. Once I understand, I will naturally feel confident.
This ancient time is no better than modern times. There are no service areas with various facilities on the road, and the villages and towns are far apart. Sometimes, after walking for a whole day, there is no place to borrow water on the road.
However, Qin Yao had calculated before that the convoy always transported wood back and came empty, which was a bit of a waste of transportation capacity. Just when Jiang Wen asked about the delivery, she also had an idea to tell him.
“Second shopkeeper, do you have a vacant warehouse at the dock?”
As soon as Qin Yao asked this, Jiang Wen realized her intention and asked tentatively: "Ms. Qin, do you want to put the finished book boxes in the warehouse first?"
