Chapter 248: Logistics


In mid-July, Wang Dang and others came to Chang'an City with a caravan to transport goods.

They set out from Liangzhou City and did not pass through Lishi County, but took the old road to the south directly.

The road here is also being resurfaced.

After walking for less than seven or eight days from Liangzhou City, we arrived at the section of road that was being repaired.

After that section, there was a spacious cement road.

It was estimated that Soon, this cement road will lead directly to Liangzhou City.

Merchants coming from the Western Regions have always taken this road in the past.

There is a post station every few dozen miles along the way.

There are also many privately run inns for travelers around the post station.

Basically, you can buy everything you want, including food.

Accommodation is no problem.

Before arriving in Chang'an City, Wang Dang and others first ate fried field snails next to a post station.

They all felt honored when they heard that this way of eating fried field snails was created by Lishi Luo Sanlang.

Wang Dang and others came to Chang'an City this time, firstly because a familiar caravan invited them to go with them, and secondly, they happened to have a batch of goods to be transported to Chang'an City.

The owner of the goods was Luo Erniang, and the goods were mainly cashmere sweaters. trousers and suet soap.

After entering the city and saying goodbye to the caravan that was traveling with them, Wang Dang and his party went directly to Fenglefang to transport the goods to the north and south.

A disciple of Luo Yong received them and arranged for people to go to Taiyuan.

Xuexue went to send a message to Luo Yong.

When the class was over at Taixue, Luo Yong came here.

"But after dinner, I see that none of you are awake yet."

As soon as Luo Yong entered the backyard of the grocery store, he saw a group of men sitting in the yard in confusion, yawning, and said with a smile.

"I ate some when I first arrived in the morning.

I slept until this point.

Let's go out for a meal together."

After a business came down, Wang Dang couldn't help but reward his brothers.

They planned to go out tonight.

Eat something good.

How could Luo Yong ask him to invite him?

He took the person to a familiar wine shop and let the shopkeeper bear all the expenses for food and drinks.

This restaurant can be considered a mid-to-high-end restaurant in Chang'an City.

The entertainment life in Chang'an City is not comparable to other places.

Just the few large ice cubes stacked in the hall can make these men from poor families look at each other.

Dazed for a moment.

"Just find an ordinary small shop, why spend so much money."

Wang Dang's current income is not bad, but after all, they have earned hard money.

In such an occasion, if they are asked to spend their own money, they would still be a little reluctant.

"I'm also very happy that you can come to Chang'an City.

My sister is alone in Liangzhou City.

I can't take care of her on such a long journey.

I have to rely on you to take care of me on weekdays."

Luo Yong picked up the wine glass and said After taking a sip, he bowed his hands to Wang Dang and others.

When Wang Dang and the others heard this, they all laughed: "She doesn't need our care now."

"That's wrong."

Luo Yongyan said: "Although she has made some achievements in cashmere trading, she is still a prostitute.

If there is no one to help her, she is afraid that some bad people will have evil thoughts."

"That's right, somewhere like Liangzhou City, I heard that some evildoers who are wanted by the imperial court are fleeing there."

"There's no need to worry, Sanlang.

We all know that your sister is close to the Zhao family in Shuozhou.

The Zhao family now has quite a reputation in Liangzhou City.

With so many people in their family, how can ordinary people dare to provoke them."

The group ate and drank, and then talked about the purpose of their trip to Chang'an City.

Wang Dang and others came here not only to help Luo Erniang transport goods, but they also planned to sell some goods from here.

"What goods are you planning to sell to Liangzhou City this time?"

Luo Yong asked them.

"I just want to sell some cloth."

Wang Dang said: "Recently, the price of cloth in Liangzhou and other places has been high.

Some tribes on the grassland have even refused to trade non-cloth and copper coins.

In the past, many merchants used beans, wheat, corn and other grains.

If you trade cashmere with them, not many of them are willing to harvest food now.”

This is not surprising.

The population on the grassland is actually not large.

After obtaining enough food to ensure sufficient food, they will definitely ask the merchants to use cloth and copper coins that are more durable and can be traded with circulation. .

Copper coins in the Tang Dynasty were simply made with conscience.

One copper coin weighed one penny.

Even if it was not used as a coin, but just as a piece of copper, it was still worth that much, so there was no need to worry about depreciation.

Cloth is not only durable in storage and can be circulated, but it is also an indispensable necessity in people's daily lives.

After the prairie people are full, they will naturally begin to pursue the quality of life.

The demand for cloth is only the first stage.

It is not easy to produce cloth and other materials.

Although Liangzhou City has local production, it cannot be compared with the Central Plains and the South.

In this era, the production of cloth is as important as the production of food.

People call the farmland passed down from their ancestors mulberry fields.

This shows how important mulberry farming and silkworm rearing are to ordinary farmers.

Therefore, even though textile technology in this era was relatively backward, Luo Yong's space contained some relevant information, but he had no intention of taking it out for the moment.

After the advent of the spinning Jenny, the inventor suffered collective revenge attacks from craftsmen.

Because of the emergence of this spinning machine, many people's jobs were ruined.

Looking at the current era, most of the people responsible for spinning and weaving are women.

The so-called men farm and women weave.

While women depend on men for survival, they are also an indispensable labor force in many families.

Therefore, they are also indispensable in many families.

Have status in your own family.

In addition to ordinary farmers, there are also many weavers and silkworm farmers nowadays.

They do not produce food and rely entirely on the textile industry to support their families.

Under such circumstances, Luo Yongwan would not dare to touch the textile industry easily.

Silk cloth is expensive, so it should be more expensive.

Purely handmade things are hard to come by, so it is normal for them to be more expensive.

The common fabrics nowadays are far more than just silk, silk and linen.

The market is full of various fabrics, especially in Chang'an City.

Many fabrics used in later generations have never been heard of.

I think I also know that the 80% achievement has been lost.

Although this kind of thing is inevitable in the development of the times, it is still very regrettable to think about it.

If we talk about linen, it is mainly produced in the Central Plains.

If we talk about silk, it has to be produced in the Jiangnan area.

Wang Dang and others mainly wanted to sell some silk fabrics this time, so Luo Yong decided to help them find the Wang family.

The Lishi Wang family also has a shop in Chang'an City, and the main products they sell are silk cloths they sell from the south, as well as various canned fruits.

Wang Jinhuai found the source of eucommia gum in the south this year, so he no longer gets eucommia gum from Luo Yong.

However, because of his previous agreement with Luo Yong, when the batch of canned yellow peaches came out at the beginning of this summer, he still asked Luo Yong to give him eucommia gum.

Sent a batch.

Luo Yong didn't sell any of that batch of canned yellow peaches.

Except for keeping some for his own consumption, the rest were sent to Liangzhou City.

Chang'an City also produces peaches, and Aunt Luo also makes canned peach meat every year.

Although it is not as sweet and delicious as the canned yellow peaches sent by Wang Jinhuai, they are still peaches, unlike Liangzhou City, which does not even produce peaches at all.

Two days later, Luo Yong took a rest and a group of them went to the Wang family's shop.

As a result, the Wang family was in trouble again this time.

What happened was that Wang Jinhuai recently sent a batch of canned yellow peaches from the south to Chang'an.

As a result, the batch of canned food was seized by the porters before entering the city.

They said that the heat was unbearable and the journey was difficult, so he asked the Wang family for help.

They process the money, otherwise they open those cans outside the city and eat them.

On the one hand, the Wang family felt that the amount proposed by the other party was too high.

On the other hand, they did not want to compromise at this juncture to avoid being threatened by these porters in the future.

They refused to agree, so the two sides were in a stalemate.

"Where did you hire the porter?

How come you have such bad rules?"

Wang Dang and others also delivered goods to others.

When they heard this, they all frowned.

"Hi, he's the porter hired from the local area over there."

The elder of the Wang family waved his hand, not knowing what to say for the moment, but with a look of helplessness on his face.

To be honest, the atmosphere in the South in this era was still relatively barbaric and fierce, and Tang laws and etiquette were not very feasible in many southern areas.

You said they are not afraid of suing the officials.

There is a strong spirit in these people that dares to fight with the government at any time.

Ordinary officials do not dare to provoke them.

If anything happens, no one can afford it.

"Why do you hire porters from the south?"

It is well known that southerners in this era are difficult to deal with.

"A batch of goods just arrived from the front, and all the available people there have been used up.

Huaijin has been building a new school in the south for the past six months, providing care for the old and young, and getting along well with the locals.

I should use the people there once.

It's okay, I never thought something would go wrong in the end," the Wang family said.

Luo Yong was speechless after hearing this.

Wang Huaijin was treated like this by them after he reached this level.

These people really didn't have any conscience.

However, the reason why this happened is probably because someone deliberately instigated it.

It was such a hot day, the transportation was so hard, and everyone wanted to make more money.

If someone instigated it, it would be easier.

Succeed.

The so-called Canglin knows etiquette in real terms.

After several dynasties, the Central Plains region has been much ahead of some wild places in the south in terms of economic development and cultural accumulation.

At this time, many Central Plains people looked down on the Southern Barbarians.

On the one hand, it was due to their own deep sense of superiority.

On the other hand, it was often because some Southerners had done something that made them feel ashamed.

Luo Yong, Wang Dang and others went to the outside of the city with the Wang family.

They used soft and hard tactics and appropriate compromises to get the batch of cans back without making much noise.

If there is trouble in Chang'an City, no matter who is right or wrong, everyone will suffer in the end.

After working hard all day, when he returned to Fenglefang shop, Luo Yong said to Wang Dang and others: "Based on today's friendship, if you want to sell some silk cloth to the Wang family in the future, there should be no problem." ” "It's just that in my opinion, no matter whether you sell silk or cashmere, after you sell one item of goods, you only earn the money for that one item of silk, and there is no other accumulation."

"In addition to money and silk, what else should I save?"

A young man from Dinghu asked puzzledly, and others also looked at Luo Yong.

Luo Yong said to them: "If you go out under a banner and specialize in delivering goods to others, you will not only receive large goods from merchants, but also bulk goods from private parties.

With the actions of you people, you will definitely become famous in a few years.

There is no need to travel all over the world.

We only need to set up a shop at a certain distance to receive and deliver goods.

The people in each shop can only take care of their own piece of territory.

Wouldn't it be much easier?"

After today's incident with the Wang family, Luo Yong couldn't help but miss the convenient logistics conditions in later generations.

From Wang Huaijin and the others to Chang'an City, if there was one logistics company, where could such a thing happen today?

It would be better if there were several logistics companies competing in a healthy manner at the same time.

At this time, there is not even a professional logistics company in the whole country.

If Wang Dang and others take action at this time, they will indeed have a lot to do.

The author has something to say: Last night I had a vague desire to fall off the chain, but I kicked myself back. gd1806102:
