The Dalong bus transportation industry is very popular in Yangzhou. It is completely popular. As for how popular it is, you don’t have to know who the governor of Yangzhou is, but you don’t have to know about Yangzhou buses. You don’t have to know who the emperor of the Dalong Dynasty is. Who, you can’t help but know Yangzhou buses.
As for why a horse-drawn carriage is called a bus, many people have asked this question. This is just to make excuses and ignore him.
For those ordinary people who cannot afford a carriage, horse, or even a donkey, being able to spend a few pennies to ride in a luxurious carriage is a great thing. It saves time and trouble, and most importantly Yes, it’s convenient. Can’t you take a car? The kind that stops at the drop of a hat.
So the bus business got on the right track little by little under the guidance of Liu Mingzhi, and began to enter the stage of generating revenue. Dalong Bus is your important companion for home travel. Dalong Bus is your first choice. Dalong Bus is affordable for everyone.
Those who ask beggars what to do will look like they are gangsters and ignore them.
Slogans were heard amidst the sounds of children running happily. They were all hired with money. As for the problem of illegal child labor, it was quite serious. The governor of Yangzhou personally gave a plaque to each of the Ma family and the Hong family. , the first good family, the children can earn money to support the family. In the eyes of Yangzhou Governor Shen, this is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. Child labor? Child labor is not a problem.
Every morning, noon and afternoon, these children will go around Yangzhou City holding slogans to publicize to the people of Yangzhou City that the first pilot project of Dalong Bus is officially open in Yangzhou.
Brother, I can't take the bus. You must be tired and exhausted from the sweat on your head. Taking the bus can take you home safely while resting and chatting.
Uncle, you are so old, your legs and feet must be inconvenient. Can you take a car? There are seats on the carriage, allowing you to relax and enjoy the service of the official.
Little sister, can’t you take the bus? What? Men and women are not allowed to be intimate, and you don't want to ride in a carriage with a stinky man. A ladies-only carriage allows you to travel around Yangzhou City as you like without being peeked at by those stinky men.
The twenty-first century... In the twenty-sixth year of Xuande's reign, what is most important, talent is the most important. Hong Tao, the second son of the Hong family, said that he did not want to be crowded in a carriage with a group of people, and he woke up the man in his dream. Talents are everywhere, it just depends on whether you can find them, come out, Yangzhou Taxi is specially prepared for those middle-class families who have a little money but can't afford a horse-drawn carriage.
Of course distinguished guests must be treated differently. Can't my brother take a taxi? There are pastries, fruits and juices, tea, wine and cold drinks served on it, and there are also maids beating their backs and pinching their legs. Try it, a big pot.
"Master."
"Master Liu."
Liu Mingzhi spat out the tea leaves in his mouth and looked at the two people with joyful expressions and panda eyes that had not slept well. The circles under his eyes were almost the same as those of the dumplings who had just been lucky to Jinling by the old man: "How about the bill accounting for these seven days?" Have you come out yet? Is that all the income?"
"Master, Lao Ma, I am responsible for long-distance transportation in Suzhou, Jinling, Hangzhou... and other twelve states. There are more than 1,700 retail investors and more than 230 merchants who rent our carriages, and the income from purchasing goods is The total income will be sixteen thousand taels of silver, and the loss of carriages and horses will be about twelve thousand taels of silver."
"Mr. Liu, Lao Hong, I am responsible for the transportation industry in 14 states including Shaozhou, Jingzhou, Jiangzhou, etc., including 2,000 retail investors and more than 170 merchants. The total income from purchasing goods is The amount of silver is more than 18,400 taels. Excluding the wear and tear of the carriage and horses, the driver's wages and other income are about more than 13,000 taels of silver."
"Where is the ledger?"
Both of them put a stack of account books on the table. Liu Mingzhi looked through it carefully. After all, Yangzhou transportation industry was his first investment and he couldn't be careless.
Liu Mingzhi kept checking for half an hour. Every amount of money was calculated clearly using addition and subtraction. Ma Biao's account was wrong by four taels of silver, and Hong Ping's account was wrong by two taels of silver. All of them were allowed. Within the scope, after all, the accounting methods of this era are too backward, and it is natural to make mistakes when sorting out such messy accounts. Not everyone graduated from elementary school like Liu Mingzhi, and addition and subtraction within ten is not for nothing. of.
"I earned more than 20,000 taels of silver in seven days. Doesn't it look like the future is pretty good?"
"Master, it's not just good. I've made a lot of money. Not many people know about it now. Places like Hangzhou and Suzhou have just popularized the transportation industry. In the future, if more people know about it, they will make more money."
"Mr. Liu, Lao Hong, I have never obeyed anyone in my life when it comes to making money. Now I really admire Mr. Liu. Previously, Lao Hong had been wondering whether Yangzhou's transportation industry can really be accepted by the people. These are just questions. We have not yet calculated the revenue from long-distance transportation, buses and taxis in Yangzhou City, and it will probably not be too small."
"Well! Buses are just to build a reputation. In terms of making money, it is still a long-distance transportation industry. After all, the limitations of Yangzhou City are very obvious, and the population is still too low."
"Young Master Liu is right. Lao Hong's vision is too low. He always only focuses on his own one-third of an acre of land. Young Master Liu is the one who takes a long-term view."
"Uncle Ma, Head of the Hong Family, I just looked at the expenses. The expenses on horses are too little. A thousand horses only paid a total of 7,000 taels of silver. This is not good. The most important thing for the prosperity of the transportation industry is horses. , only if the physical strength of the horses can keep up can the transportation industry last. Don't worry about the consumption of thousands of taels of silver. Will you make back the money after spending it? We are businessmen, and businessmen must let the money flow and only make money. , isn’t that Pixiu?”
"Yes, yes, we will definitely take good care of the horses in the future. They are my ancestors, Lao Hong, and I cannot treat them badly."
"There's more."
"Master, please give me your orders."
"There are off-seasons and peak seasons in the transportation industry. During the off-season, there is no source of business. You can also think of doing some business yourself."
Liu Mingzhi held up the tangerine in his hand: "Oranges grown in the south are called tangerines, and those grown in the north are called tangerines. These are in hot demand in Zhongzhou, northwest Ganliang and other places. It is not impossible to get some appropriately. Beef, mutton and leather goods from the north Ah, the goods are also in short supply in Jiangnan, so you can get some. The Dalong Dynasty does not allow the slaughter of cattle, but the grasslands do. If the weather gets cold, you can transport some."
"Yes, Lao Ma will pay attention."
Liu Mingzhi stretched himself: "In that case, I'll leave the affairs of Yangzhou to you. Master, I'm going back to Jinling. I really didn't realize that, Master, I am still a family-loving person."
"Master, you might as well spend more time in Yangzhou. I have been busy with the transportation business and haven't had much fun these days. You can stay a little longer."
"Yes, Brother Ma Xian is right. Lao Hong has not yet fulfilled his friendship as a landlord, so he should stay a little longer."

"Zhi'er, eat more mutton kidneys. It's a great supplement. You've been having a hard time in Yangzhou these days. Look at you, you've lost weight." Mrs. Liu held the dish for Liu Mingzhi with a smile that couldn't be concealed.
Liu Mingli pouted and looked at Mrs. Liu: "Mother, you are partial, I also want to eat the lamb kidneys, you can't give them all to my elder brother."
The little Loli also pouted and looked at the vegetables in the bowl. She looked unhappy: "Mom, I also want to eat meat, and Xuan'er also wants to eat meat. Mother doesn't love Xuan'er anymore."
"You little brat can eat whatever lamb kidneys you want. I'll eat your food."
Liu Mingzhi found that his breath smelled of mutton, and he wanted to vomit when he saw the mutton kidneys. From the time he sat down at the dining table, he didn't even have a bowl of rice, and all he ate was mutton kidneys.
Liu Mingzhi glanced at the mutton kidneys in the bowl with disgust: "Mom, I really can't eat any more. I'll choke to death if I eat anymore. I've already eaten several bowls of mutton kidneys."
"Ah? Are you choking? Hurry up and drink a bowl of turtle soup. Mom tells you, this is a wild turtle brought from the river by servants. I heard it has lived for more than 20 years. It has been stewed on low fire all night. It is a great supplement. Yes, come and drink a bowl. If it’s not enough, I’ll give you another bowl.”
"Mom, my sister and I also want to drink turtle soup."
"You little brat, why should you drink turtle soup? Eat your vegetables."
After taking another tonic, Liu Mingzhi touched his face. Was he really losing weight? No way, there is a lot of food and drink in Yangzhou, how can I lose weight? Not wanting to drink the turtle soup in front of her, Mrs. Liu's face immediately turned miserable: "My son has grown up because of my mother. You were never picky about the food my mother served you in the past. My life is so miserable."
Liu Mingzhi immediately changed his face: "No, no, no, my son will drink it, my son will drink it immediately, isn't it just turtle soup? As long as it's what my mother gave me, even if it's ginseng soup, my son will drink it without even frowning."
Mrs. Liu pursed her lips and nodded: "My son is the most filial. He also drinks ginseng soup. This is what Zhi'er said personally. Don't regret it!"
Snap, the spoon in Liu Mingzhi's hand fell into the bowl, and a bad premonition suddenly arose. Mrs. Liu brought a small soup can from the table behind her with a smile and placed it gently on the table: "Fifty Old wild ginseng, this is my mother’s wish, drink it all.”
"Five...ten years, I've been free from illness and disaster. Do I need to drink ginseng soup for fifty years?"
"It's a great supplement."
It’s not just a big supplement, it’s a rhythm that can kill people: “Mom, I’m really full, can I not drink?”
"Mom, my second brother and I also want to drink ginseng soup." Little Loli looked at the soup can on the table eagerly, showing a longing expression. She had never drank anything like ginseng soup.
Liu Mingli leaned close to the little Loli's ear and whispered: "Little sister, ginseng soup is medicine. It is very bitter. We can't drink it."
Little Loli flashed a look of fear and hurriedly shook her head at Mrs. Liu: "Mother, Xuan'er eats vegetables, but Xuan'er doesn't drink ginseng soup."
"My son is older than his mother. He has only been out for a few days and his wings are stiff. He doesn't listen to his mother anymore. Why am I so miserable? Master, where are you? I am a woman... ..”
"Drink, drink, drink now."
Putting the porridge bowl heavily on the table, Liu Mingzhi burped: "Mother, I'm full. I'm going back to the study first."
Mrs. Liu blinked her eyes a few times: "My son is the best behaved. I will continue drinking tomorrow and my mother will stew it for you."
Liu Mingzhi, who had just walked out of the door, had his steps messed up and almost fell to his knees on the ground. He was still drinking. It was really fatal.
After Liu Mingzhi left, Mrs. Liu sneaked behind the screen. Liu Zhi'an was holding a ledger and flipping through it. When he saw Mrs. Liu coming in, he immediately put down the ledger: "Madam, have you all drank?"
"I drank them all. How many large bowls did I drink? Sir, Zhi'er's body won't be damaged, right? It's both ginseng soup and turtle soup. Can you handle it?"
"Hey, sir, I'm here, just wait and have your grandson."
This father cheats his son all the time.
