When Wei Xi walked back to the house slowly, Wei San and Xiao Ba had already taken care of their dust.Seeing Wei Xi coming in, he hurriedly greeted him.Wei Xi waved his hand at the two of them, sat down and took a sip of tea from the teacup handed over by Xiao Qi, "Tell me about the two of you, what is the reaction of the people in Qingyun Prefecture about Dayong Express?"
”Wei San and Xiao Ba glanced at each other when they heard this, and Wei San stepped forward and arched his hand, "Miss Huisan, now all counties and towns in Qingyun Prefecture have posted notices to open Dayong Express in Qingyun Prefecture, and their subordinates have visited several places, and the people now know what this Dayong Express is, but they are still holding a wait-and-see attitude." ”Wei Xi nodded, not surprised.It takes a process for anyone to accept anything new.Only when people truly appreciate the convenience and advantages will people choose it."
All the bases in Qingyun Prefecture have already been opened?"
This time it was Xiaoba who took a step forward, "Miss Hui, the six counties under the jurisdiction of Qingdu and Qingyun Prefecture have all opened their doors to welcome guests, but so far there are only a few important towns in the town that have been opened, and other towns have also left people under them, and they will be opened step by step." ”"Where's the manpower?""
According to your orders, except for the stronghold where Qingdu is located, people have been sent to manage it, and the rest of the places have appointed local people, and they have all signed employment contracts."
Wei Xi thought about it and didn't have anything to ask, "You two go and rest." ”When Wei San and Xiao Ba retired, Xiao Qi came over and added a cup of tea, a little worried, "Miss, what if the people still want to use the original way of sending letters and things, and don't trust our Dayong Express?"
”She knows how much energy her young lady has spent on this Dayong Express, if it doesn't work, Miss's planning for more than a month has been in vain, and so many manpower and material resources have been put in, and a large amount of silver has also been lost, and she may not even be able to hear a sound.Wei Xi is the old god, "Don't worry, they will definitely accept it." ”Xiao Qi: "It's time for her young lady's daily self-confidence again.Backed by Shangjing, Qingyun Prefecture is the smallest of the many state capitals in Dayong, and the only state that has no county but only a county.Barely at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are very few people who dare to make trouble in the state, and the position of the governor of Qingyun Prefecture is often called the place where officials retire.Most of the officials who can be the governor of Qingyun Prefecture are approaching the age of Zhishi, and they have no intention of climbing up again, and it is not bad to be able to retire from the position of governor of a state.This is also one of the purposes for Weixi to choose Qingyun Prefecture as the first pilot.The state is small, from the officials to the people, and they are not violent and radical people, and the people's lives are plain, and they are interested in trying new things when they meet them.After Wei Xi learned about Qingyun Prefecture, he felt that this should be the place that received the fastest acceptance of Dayong Express.The truth went even better than Wei Xi expected.Qingyun Prefecture, Shanghe County, Shuangqiao Town.Shuangqiao Town is rich in lychees, so it is also called Lychee Town.May and June are the seasons for lychees to go on the market, but the Hu family, a large local lychee farmer, is worried.As we all know, lychee is the most difficult type of fruit to store.After more than a day of picking, the flesh will change color and the taste will change with it.When you eat it in your mouth, the sooner and fresher the better.Lychee is expensive because it has to be stored in ice to maintain its umami flavor.The Hu family is now facing a dilemma.His family has hundreds of acres of lychee orchards, and the harvest of almost this year lies in this short period of May and June.As early as mid-April, orders from Qingdu arrived at Hu's house.As soon as the lychees were ripe, the Hu family hired nearly 100 people to pick them in the lychee orchard, and half of the order was picked on the same day.But when he was about to transport it to Qingdu, something went wrong.More than a dozen cart pullers vomited and diarrhea, and it seemed that they could not even get out of the stable.The eldest son of the Hu family immediately came out of his mouth in a hurry, and said hatefully to his worried father: "This is definitely done by the Huang family, our horses are all fine this morning, how can this day pass." ”And the Huang family didn't grab the order this time, which is the most likely to stumble on their family.After all, the Huang family also has hundreds of acres of lychee orchards, and so far they have only sold some to the surrounding villages and towns, and have not found a big order.It's not just red-eyed.The person who happened to treat the horses came in, "Master Hu, your horse should have been mixed with croton in the feed."
This horse has been unusable for nearly seven days, I'm afraid it won't be used" and when the others left, Hu Cheng, the patriarch of the Hu family, slammed his fist on the table.In seven days, all the lychees that were picked should be rotten.Even with ice, it barely lasted more than four days.The object of suspicion in his heart is the same as his son, but now there is no evidence, and it is not the time to settle accounts with the Huang family.The top priority is to find a dozen more horses that can be used and transport the lychees away first.The second son of the Hu family ran back sweating, and when he entered the house, he shouted aggrievedly, "Dad, big brother." ”When Hu Cheng saw him like this, his heart suddenly sank, "How is it?"
”"The horses of several carriage and horse shops in the town were rented by the Huang family, and my son went around the town and only found three horses, all of which were old horses."
There's no need to guess now.Nine times out of ten, the Huang family did it.The goal is to make it impossible for them to do this business.If their family can't do this business, won't it be cheap for the Huang family.Hu Cheng will be furious, "What a Huang family!"
”Just when the gloomy clouds became three fathers and sons, the youngest son of the Hu family came home from drinking, and slapped his head after knowing the problems at home."
Dad, my son has an idea."
Hu Cheng glanced at his youngest son, who could only drink and joke, and he didn't look down at it at all, "You will reach out to your mother to ask for money, what can you do?"
”The youngest son of the Hu family scratched his head embarrassedly, "My son had a drink with friends a few days ago, and I heard that some time ago we opened a Dayong Express in our town, which is responsible for sending letters and things, why don't we try it there?"
”Hu Cheng: "I don't know if it's reliable?"
These lychees in our family are worth nearly 1,000 taels of silver, and if there is any mistake in the middle, our family's harvest this year will be halved. ”This is also the reason why their family has more than a dozen horses, even if they only use horses in May and June.It's just that I'm afraid that someone will have an accident."
It should be reliable," the youngest son of the Hu family nodded, in fact, he himself was not sure, "But I heard that the Dayong Express has been posted by the government, and the government has helped to publicize it, so it won't harm us if you think about it." ”The second son of the Hu family is usually a bold man, and seeing that his father and eldest brother were still hesitating, he immediately said: "Dad, why don't we go over to the Dayong Express to have a look."
After all, there is almost no other way now, you can't smash all those lychees in your hands. ”"Let's go, let's see."
The father and son found the front of the store with the words Dayong Express.Hu Cheng looked at the first customer in the store, and he wanted to retreat again.Hu Lao Er still settled down and walked in with his feet raised.As soon as he entered, a young man dressed in a short shirt came out from behind the counter, and his eyes lit up when he saw Hu Laoer.After waiting for so many days, there are finally guests.Hu Lao Er was a little hairy by him, and he calmed down, "Dare to ask your store if you can help send items." ”"Yes, yes," facing the first guest who had finally arrived, the young man was simply enthusiastic, "Guest officer, what are you going to send?"
”"Send a batch of lychees."
Outside the store, seeing that the second son had been entertained, Hu Cheng took a deep breath and took the eldest son and the younger son in.Eventually, the four of them were invited to a private room next to them.The boy was holding a pen and a brand new notebook."
Come, I'll register the information about you and the items you want to send."
Hu Cheng: "We haven't prepared to send it yet." ”The young man patted his head, "I'm sorry, I'm a little excited to finally come to your first guest." ”"That's right, our Dayong Express, the current head office is in Shangjing, our Qingyunzhou, is the first branch to open.Avenue Qingdu, down to various counties, and then to our town, all have branches of our Dayong Express.Now that you have come to us, rest assured.As long as it is entrusted to us to send, it is guaranteed that there will be no accidents, and if there is an accident, we will also compensate. ”"Reparations?"
Hu Cheng sensitively grasped the last word, "How to compensate?"
”The young man smiled from beginning to end, "For example, the lychee you are going to send, I also know this lychee, and it is best to deliver it as soon as possible."
Then if we do not deliver the lychee within the time specified by you, or accidentally overturn in the process of sending it, and the lychee is scattered, we will compensate you for the original price. ”Saying this, the eyes of the Hu family father and son lit up.Hu Laosan asked: "But what you say is good now, if there is a real accident, what should you do if you pay the bill?"
”"So if the guest officer really wants to entrust us Dayong Express to send lychees, we will sign a contract later, if we don't fulfill the compensation in the contract, you can use this contract to sue us."
The young man saw that the Hu family's father and son had loosened their faces, and added another fire, "You see that we have just opened, and you are our first order, unless our store doesn't want to open without word of mouth, we can't do this debt-based thing, right?"
”Hu Cheng nodded slowly.That's true.You can't ruin the whole store for his business.This can only be done by people with a lot of brains."
Then, let's register.""
Okay, first tell me your name and address, where to send it, who to send it to, what to send, how many catties, and when it will arrive."
After registering the information, the boy closed the notebook, and he didn't know where he fished out an abacus from somewhere, and put it on the table with a snap, "Okay, let's talk about how much we should charge you for the delivery fee now." ”
