Colleagues who were still waiting and watching saw that Liu Yiming was planning to spend all their money to buy a rickshaw. Naturally, they were not willing to be outdone. They were extremely stingy in front of the prince and tightened their purse strings. This was definitely not a wise move.
As long as the prince is eyeing the money in your pocket, no matter how hard you cover it, the factory guards who are like wolves and tigers will not be able to stop it from being snatched from your hands and presented to the prince, so it is more appropriate to pay for peace.
Everyone still doesn’t know much about the rickshaw market. The reason for buying a rickshaw is because of the aura of a certain prince. Whether you can make money after buying so many rickshaws is anyone’s guess, but let’s divide the shares first.
"Each vehicle has a serial number, which facilitates spot checks by the factory guards. It also prevents private imitation. If someone dares to imitate a rickshaw without permission, you can report it to the factory guard if you find out. After verification, you can also be arrested. 10% of the gold and silver seized by the reporter. In order to encourage you to run the rickshaws carefully, from now to the end of the year, the monthly tax paid by each rickshaw is fixed, which is three taels of silver. If you make more, you will receive it. If you own it as an individual, you no longer need to pay taxes. On the contrary, you will need more subsidies and less subsidies."
Ten thousand rickshaws can contribute 3,000 taels of silver per month. For eight months from May to the end of the year, they can generate 24,000 taels of silver in taxes and fees.
If it could be promoted nationwide, the rickshaw business alone would be able to contribute at least half a million taels of tax revenue a year.
Including buses, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development can increase revenue by one million taels from transportation alone. Maybe it is not a dream, because the southern regions are richer and rickshaws will be used more efficiently.
By temporarily fixing taxes and fees, we can stimulate the subjective initiative of each boss to the greatest extent, and encourage everyone to encourage rickshaw pullers to work hard.
The factory guard can order some agents who are usually responsible for snooping around the periphery to pull the rickshaws, so that they can know the income of the rickshaws very well.
If the taxi company can really make a lot of money every day, it won't be too late to raise the employee fee next year. This year, we must give these guys a little sweetness first.
"After the curfew is lifted, the city gates to the outside world will be closed after You hour, but people in the city will not be prohibited from going out for shopping. Therefore, rickshaws can operate around the clock, and they can receive guests as long as they signal for help. The business qualifications granted to you by this palace are only The first and second steps will examine your business capabilities. Merchants who buy and sell by force, ask for prices in disguise, or even threaten or beat passengers will be warned and punished. Those with the worst influence will be cleared out of the market. , deprived of business qualifications, and if involved in homicide, you can be jailed and interrogated. Merchants with excellent service will also be given certain rewards. How to make a decision is all in your mind. "
The prince's words made some leaders sneer at him. Isn't the prince's behavior a blatant act of buying and selling by force?
But no one dared to question it publicly. Once he said it, the whole family would be taken to Shandong to mine.
The prince's forced buying and selling was nominally for his own good, and he had to thank the Holy Grace, otherwise he would be acting ungratefully.
A certain prince is still secretly proud of himself, "What is that you are doing?"
You are all scum in front of me!
This is what I call the Supreme Sulfur Hooligan!
I asked you to eat thousands of taels of Shuanghuanglian, but you don’t dare to show a bitter look on your face!
For the commercial prosperity of the capital, you scumbags must also make your due contributions.
Even Sister Lou is working hard to dedicate her body and mind to asking you to contribute some money. This palace has already done its utmost to be benevolent and righteous.
Anyone who dares to say "no" will be killed and buried by factory guards!
After that, they will collect money from your family members as a matter of course!
Liu Yiming's mind was very active. When he heard the news from the prince that he could open business at night, he immediately realized that if he hired two people to pull a truck and divided the work into day and night, wouldn't one truck earn three or four taels of silver a month? Already?
According to this calculation, I am afraid that I will be able to recover my capital in about half a year. Before the end of the year, I might even start to make a net profit. If this is the case, this rickshaw is really a good business.
The fifteen thousand taels of silver he invested would be doubled in two or three years. Just thinking about it made Liu Yiming so excited that his heartbeat began to accelerate.
If you work hard, you will definitely be able to keep your so-called "business qualifications." If you can seize the opportunity to eat up other people's rickshaw shares and enlarge your own plate, that would be great.
But the others were not stupid. When the prince said that the business could be opened at night, they all thought of the same thing as Liu Yiming. Even if they were trying to sell iron, they should buy as many rickshaws as possible.
The prince said that there was only a share of 10,000 vehicles, so that must be that much. At least there will be no more in the short term. Since each person can purchase up to 1,000 vehicles, there are only ten people who can get the big share.
In fact, after Liu Yiming, only two people were willing to pay for a thousand rickshaws, while the others only bought three to five hundred, and some only bought the minimum share of one hundred, which was just a sign of meaning.
"Your Highness, Cao Min is still willing to subscribe!"
After hearing from the prince that they could open business at night to solicit customers, some of the leaders regretted that the rickshaws they had bought were too few, which was equivalent to throwing away a lot of money.
"It's late. The first batch of subscriptions totals 6,700 vehicles, and the difference is 3,300 vehicles. When the year-end evaluation is held, high-quality merchants will be qualified to share the difference. If you want to obtain relevant qualifications, Then run this rickshaw carefully. Each company should set up a 'taxi company', and you can name the name in front of it. For example, manure dealers have become agricultural fertilizer companies, such as Toyota Fertilizer Company, Honda Fertilizer Company, and Nissan Fertilizer Company. You and so on. You can draw inferences from one instance and come up with a good name that is easy to say and listen to, at least two characters, and no more than three characters."
This is the second sweetness. Anyone who has tasted the first sweetness will naturally be interested in the second sweetness.
If you buy less now, you will be slapped on the thigh later. If you yourself can't live with the money, then you can't blame me.
The opportunity has been given to you a long time ago, and no one is forcing you to sell less. The money is right in front of you, so you are still cautious.
That rickshaw is actually equivalent to a chicken that can lay silver eggs. As long as it is fed in time, it can continuously lay silver eggs.
If you can't even see it, it can only mean that your brains are not working well and your IQ is not as good as that of some chamberlains and maids.
Compared to manure companies, taxi companies are a rising star. Unexpectedly, those at the forefront of the Ming Dynasty were actually a group of manure bosses...
They are a group of merchants who enjoy complete tax-free treatment in the Ming Dynasty. They will naturally work much harder to build public toilets, and the progress of the project has not been affected by the mutiny in Beijing.
The first batch of public toilets built on Category 1 streets have been completed as scheduled, and some people even wanted to ask the prince to cut them!
This frightened a certain prince so much that he felt so disgusted that he wanted to use the time-traveling mythical beast Grass Nima to kick the shitheads into the toilet for a nice swim.
The shitheads also have enough reasons, because these public toilets are an edict issued by the prince. Without the prince's permission, no one dares to go out to pay respects, and all the young and old men have to hold it in...
In the end, Yaoji had no choice but to order that firecrackers could be set off to celebrate the day the public toilets were put into use. He would not go to inspect the toilets himself, but would just send a eunuch to accompany the relevant personnel from the Ministry of Works to inspect them.
Then the common people will not have to hold back their faces until they are flushed, and their stomachs will be in a state of overwhelming discomfort. This project can greatly alleviate the health problems in the capital after summer.
He used his own biological and chemical weapons to conquer his own capital. Looking at the past dynasties, it seems that only the dumper has done it. He is indeed a generation of Hades!
Although the capital city where urine was everywhere was not the source of the plague, the flies and mosquitoes that followed were definitely the couriers for the spread of the plague, which played a role in fueling the flames.
If the toilet problem is not solved now, in less than three years, everyone will have to consider the issue of burial in advance. You must know that the plague army captured the capital before the hundreds of thousands of people sent by Courier Brother Li.
The official ability of Yin Houdongzeng of Shuntian Prefecture can still be determined, but judging from the matter of sprinkling lime, he worked very hard.
On his way to inspect the chariot factory, a certain prince could see from a distance officials and clerks splashing lime powder along the street, and he could also hear someone beating gongs to remind people to pay attention to home hygiene.
At present, the nooks and crannies may still be as dirty as before, but the first and second category streets can definitely be said to have a completely new look, and the situation of making you feel like vomiting when you go out will no longer be seen.
Cleaning up the streets and building public toilets is only the first step to improve the environment of the capital. The next step is to use rickshaws, buses, and official vehicles to reduce private cars and horses.
Rickshaws will not be driven wherever you go. They are better than flatterers by a small margin. Buses and government vehicles, because they attract a lot of passengers, can reduce the possibility of more private cars and horses on the road.
Once there are fewer livestock on the road, there will naturally be less natural excrement. Most people will go to public toilets, so the sanitary situation will be much better than before.
As long as feces can be significantly reduced artificially, domestic garbage can be cleaned up in time, and a large amount of lime powder is sprinkled, the hygiene of the main streets can be maintained above the bottom line.
At least there is no environment for large numbers of mosquitoes to breed. With the establishment of medical departments and hospitals, patients with signs of an epidemic will be treated promptly. The possibility of a major epidemic in the capital has been rapidly reduced.
The rickshaw is one of them. While binding the big and small bosses, it can also make a certain contribution to the environment and taxation of the capital. It can be said to kill three birds with one stone.
Yaoji considered contracting bus lines to these guys, but considering the large number of disabled soldiers, this idea was abandoned.
In order to kill the Jingying camp, both the Yongwei camp and the Qin army suffered a lot of casualties. Even if many moderately and severely disabled soldiers recovered, they would not be able to return to their ranks.
A certain prince has announced that he will arrange employment for those who can work normally. At this time, he must fulfill his promise, otherwise he will break his promise and get rich.
Except for a very small number of officers, most of the disabled soldiers were illiterate and could not even read a few Chinese characters. Therefore, they could not be assigned civilian jobs at all and had to do manual labor.
They couldn't do overly heavy tasks, such as mining, and the court didn't have the spare money to pay them free wages. After thinking about it, it was more suitable for these people to work on public transportation.
There is no problem in driving the bus, and there is no ambiguity in collecting money. If you encounter a bad guy, one disabled veteran can fight two. They are the best choice for bus drivers. If the vehicle is big enough, you can also add conductors.
A certain prince didn't expect the bus company to make much money from the tickets every year, as long as it could roughly pay the driver's salary.
Similar to the operation model of "Jingshi Daily", the biggest source of revenue for buses is the billboards on the bus body and platform. This is the way to make money every day.
Ten bus lines were opened in the early stage, and ten horse-drawn carriages were arranged for operation on each line. Each vehicle's monthly billboard income was twelve thousand taels, which amounted to a huge income of twelve thousand taels for the whole year. Adding in the station advertising, the total amount will be even greater. many.
If the "Jingshi Daily" is also sold in the car, there will be no problem in earning 20,000 taels a year. If the number of routes and vehicles doubled, the total revenue will also double, so buses will also be the focus of Shuntian Prefecture and even the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development.
Compared with buses, although rickshaws are more expensive, they are open around the clock. Buses will get off work after midnight, and rickshaws dominate the world at night.
For ordinary people, how they choose to travel can be decided based on the copper coins in their pockets, while the rich can just stand on the roadside and wave, or even buy a rickshaw as their own vehicle. .
To distinguish them, the taxi version is always green, while other rickshaws used as private cars are brown.
Originally, a certain prince wanted to paint his private car red or even customize it, but once there was a funeral in the royal family, everyone's private car would not be able to travel.
After blue fades, it is easy to be confused with green. Yellow is the color used by the royal family. Orange is similar to yellow. White is a taboo color. Black is too solemn. Brown is a furniture color and can be easily accepted by others.
The first-generation buses used iron carriages with several windows cut out, which could be blocked by wooden boards on rainy days. The exteriors were painted green, just like taxis, so that people could easily identify them. If the carriages were made of wood, they would probably be regarded as prison buses... …
During wartime, these buses can also be requisitioned and used as self-loading vehicles for transporting grain, grass and ordnance. Moreover, the driver is a former soldier and can carry out orders well.
As long as the imperial court orders it, hundreds of additional baggage trucks can be produced at once, which can completely supply tens of thousands of combat troops. Apart from the slow travel speed, there are almost no shortcomings.
At any time, only by ensuring logistical supplies can the frontline troops maintain sufficient morale. If they are half full every day, they are not far from losing the battle, not to mention that some troops themselves are the worst in war.
All a certain prince can do is to raise as much money as possible, recruit more men and horses, and transport more grain and grass. As for whether he can win the battle, he completely depends on the generals on the front line.
Compared with those who dumped the blame, the current treatment of Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers has been greatly improved, and the probability of unjust, false, and wrongful convictions involving major generals has been reduced to a minimum. This can only be said to be unable to hold back the Donglu and suppress the rogue bandits. The death of heaven is clear.
"Your Highness, Hong Chengchou sent someone to deliver a box!"
"Oh? Bring it up!"
"Slave... don't dare..."
There is a seal on the box, and no one else has the right to open it.
