Chapter 1207 A ray of sunshine under the squeeze

Thanks to the book friend: "Shui Ruohan" leader for the reward, the 26th leader, thank you!

The Governor's Office of the Five Army was in full swing. After several days of quarrel like a vegetable market, we finally reached an agreement. Everyone smiled and felt relieved.

Meng Ying is the same. As the person who presided over the "dividing fat", he has been coordinating the interests of all parties and is exhausted. Now he just wants to go home and have a good rest for a few days and sit in the study to read books.

Turning back to look at the guys with satisfaction, Meng Ying frowned and said, "Go back, this matter is beyond discussion."

A group of warriors!

Meng Ying shook her head, really wanting to throw these guys into martial arts and recreate them.

After everyone left, a confidant dared to ask: "Marty, there is no involvement of the British Duke and others in this matter. Let's allocate the quota of students. Will they..."

There were a few piles of snow in the yard, and there was still no green on the ground. Meng Ying said in a daze: "The British Duke and An Yuanhou refused to come here to discuss matters, just to show His Majesty. They wanted to enjoy wealth, but I sat in this seat and had no choice."

"If we cannot set the quota before the start of martial arts, all forces will take the opportunity to install people. Who dares to reject so many people? Who dares to offend so many people? It's difficult!"

The confidant also agreed: "Marty, only Xing and Bona will offend all civil and military officials at the same time."

Meng Ying smiled bitterly and said, "He is not a fool, just like that, right? Compared with him, I am indeed a slut."

"Let's go and talk to Jin Zhong."

Jin Zhong didn't come to attend the meeting, just watched coldly.

When I arrived at Jin Zhong's house, I learned that Jin Zhong had gone to the big market outside the city. Not only did he go, but many officials and people went.

Meng Ying thought that there was nothing wrong, so she left the city and went to the big market.

Today's big market is so crowded that it's just a matter of gongs and drums.

The follower looked at the crowd in front of him with a little embarrassed, but Meng Ying squeezed in without hesitation.

Amid the screams and scolding, the people were silent when they saw Meng Ying's brocade robe, silently squeezed out a passage to let him pass.

In peaceful times, no people dare to compete with officials, even if they are just watching the fun.

Meng Ying nodded slightly, walked to the front, and then the smile on her face frozen.

The big markets are rows, with wide streets in the middle.

In order to ensure the passage of vehicles, these streets were paved with stone slabs.

The stone road is good, at least it will not be bumpy and there will be no place to put on the ground when it rains.

But the stone road is now beyond recognition, with sleepers and rails in the middle, and several carriages are galloping lightly on it.

Meng Ying looked to the left and saw that the railway tracks should have directly led to the warehouse. On the right, extending from the middle of the street, it should have penetrated the big market.

Several carriages drove to the outside of a shop, and a few guys came out. They took out a pulley rack and easily unloaded the cart on the cart.

The threshold is unloaded, the cart directly pulls the goods in, and the entire shipping process is over.

"So amazing! I've come here to carry goods before. First I went to the warehouse to load goods, then followed the carriage to here, and took goods in one by one. Now I don't have anyone anymore, hey! Where can I use this strength in the future?"

"Go to the dock! The dock will have to... tsk! If the dock uses this, there will be less effort in the future."

"And this carriage has been pulled a lot more than before, and the horse has been relaxed..."

“…”

Meng Ying also followed Jubaoshanwei that day and saw the track carriage. At that time, he was thinking that this thing would not be able to be put into use within at least a few years. Who knows...

"I'll ask, who bought this thing?"

According to Fang Xing's virtue, if you want to ask for his things for free, it is to pluck his hair from the iron rooster.

A young man shrank to the side and said respectfully: "Sir, it is said that it was bought by the Ministry of Revenue, and then the companies will share the distribution."

Tracks, carriages, pulley sets, carts...

This was planned for a long time!

Is Xia Yuanji crazy?

Xia Yuanji was not crazy, he was shouting in the big market ahead.

"It's okay if you don't pay, then his carriage won't be on the track."

If you don’t get on, you won’t get on! Can’t my carriage be transported without the track?

But this is a wholesale market, where a large number of goods come in and out every day. If other people's efficiency is higher than you and consume less than you, why should you compete?

The key is that the carts and pulley sets are all matching, and it’s okay to build them yourself, but where can I find a master?

"That pulley set has been carefully calculated. The pulley set is marked clearly on it. It is really convenient! Adults, the younger ones give you money."

"With this set of things, the store saves a lot of labor, which is cost-effective!"

From warehouses to shops, this set of things is like assembly lines, fast and convenient.

When these businesses have good business, they have to pull dozens of trucks of goods a day. Now with this set of things, there are up to ten trucks a day, and the horses are not tired.

Meng Ying had already walked to the side and listened to several merchants around him discussing the use of carriages to transport goods together, which would save the cost of coachman and carriages.

"Let's raise some carriages together!"

A businessman said: "Everyone pays money together and collects money according to the number of times the goods are shipped. In this way, no one will lose money. How about it?"

"Good idea!"

Businessmen are creatures that pursue profit maximization. As long as they can save costs, they are willing to pursue science, no matter what science they learn.

This is the silence of moistening things!

Xia Yuanji worked very hard today, and personally dealing with these merchants as the Minister of Revenue.

"You can do these things yourself, as long as you don't violate the law, no one will interfere!"

Xia Yuanji was very kind, which made the businessmen who were rarely dealing with high-ranking officials excited and went forward one by one to get close.

Jin Zhong was there, but the old guy was not interested in listening to Xia Yuanji's outfit competition, so he snatched a carriage and went to test it himself.

It was very relaxed. Jin Zhong was a little unfamiliar and drove the carriage from the warehouse. The original coachman ran along the tracks with a sweat on his face, for fear that the old man would make a mistake and that his family would be in trouble.

The carriage was driving along the way, and the speed was getting faster and faster. Xia Yuanji was casually perfunctorily using the flattery of the merchants. When he saw the carriage rushing over, he quickly jumped off the tracks.

This old guy is going crazy!

The owner of the carriage was next to Xia Yuanji. He watched the carriage rushing faster and faster, and suddenly heard a gala sound.

The carriage slowly slowed down and finally stopped not far from Xia Yuanji.

"Hahahaha! Good thing! Lord Xia, give me a carriage like this. Also, the Ministry of War has many warehouses in charge. Can I lay such rails?"

Xia Yuanji shook his head and said angrily: "This matter was taken over by the Ministry of Works. This was done by Xing and Bo. It's gone, and there is only one thing in the Ming Dynasty."

Jin Zhong felt a little regretful when he heard this. After getting off the car, he saw Meng Ying and said, "Hara Baoding has finished his state affairs? It turns out that he is a role model for us."

When Meng Ying saw the people in front of him turn around, she forced a smile and said, "There is no state affairs, it's just a discussion of some small matters."

Xia Yuanji smiled and said, "Horse Baoding is also interested in this carriage?"

Meng Ying's smile became more and more far-fetched, "No, Meng is just here to buy some things."

Just as he drove Fang Xing out of martial arts, Meng Ying could not flatter these things no matter how shameless she was.

Xia Yuanji ignored him and chatted with the merchants for a few words, then said that there was something wrong with him when he went home and left with Jin Zhong.

Why did they come?

During the Chinese New Year, I don’t rest at home and come out to stand up for the rest of the day!

Moreover, the Ministry of Revenue will actually invest to pave the track for the big market, and Xia Yuanji can be regarded as Fang Xing’s best friend!

Meng Ying was a little depressed. He slowly walked outside. The follower behind him was holding a horse, trying to remind him that it was not the direction to go home, but Meng Ying stopped and lowered her head toward a wall.

The fence was newly built not long ago, but Meng Ying saw a little green in the cracks in the corners of the wall.
