Great Tang Idyll - Chapter 1208

[Chapter 833 It’s a shame when the night falls]

Zhang Xiaobao didn’t know what to say for a while, so he nodded and waited beside him. His target person was right in front of him, so he couldn’t run to the front by himself.

The person who had spoken before picked up a few more shovels of soil, clapped his hands and stopped, he was no longer alive, wiped his sweat, and said to Zhang Xiaobao who was waiting: “Our team is only responsible for the seventy-mile road from Yizhou City to the front. , is usually a one-day journey for caravans, and we repair this part of the road. After repairing, others are not allowed to set up stalls on the roadside.

We have a stall at 30 miles and 70 miles away, specializing in sales. Give things to people who come and go. Usually, pedestrians get tired after walking 30 miles, drink some tea, eat something, and that’s what we earn.”

Zhang Xiaobao understands when he mentioned his words, they are not special runners. The team that went to the far distance for business, but the ‘sitting ground households’ who set up stalls nearby.

There is something wrong with the seventy-mile road they manage, and they want to fix it so that people who come and go can easily walk.

Just like the small pavilion in Sanshui County, people walking on the road are tired or thirsty and hungry, so they go to the pavilion to spend money to buy things. Of course, if there is no money, they can only eat for nothing. Sanshui County does not allow people to starve to death. there.

I just don’t know if the team in front of me has this kind of consideration.

“If the person who came back from the other side loses money because of the business and has no money, why don’t you care about the food?” Zhang Xiaobao asked casually after thinking about it.

“Come on!” The man replied happily: “No one is in trouble. The person who can’t afford to buy food for a while today may be the person who made a fortune to form a caravan tomorrow. It’s just a meal, with a heart of pity. Who doesn’t? Not to mention people, even if a dog is very hungry, people will give some leftovers or something when they see it.

Don’t be unreasonable when doing business, otherwise the government will find out and the punishment will be severe, so everything we sell is It’s not bad. Throw away the bad ones, and there are ordinary medicines in the stall, which can relieve people’s worries. In exchange for one’s lifetime achievements, this transaction is worthwhile.”

Zhang Xiaobao listened with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

He believes that as long as the leader of the team maintains this idea, the world will be created in the future, unless the political situation changes, but it is absolutely impossible within a few decades. .

Suddenly, Zhang Xiaobao thought of another question: “What would you do if other people set up stalls too?”

“It’s very simple, others want to set up stalls, we directly pull into the team, and maintain this section of the road together. Then we sell things together, but we sell things together. You can’t repeat it.” Someone in the other team just came over and said casually when they heard Zhang Xiaobao’s question.

“What if he doesn’t join your team?” Zhang Xiaobao asked again.

“Then he can’t sell things either. People who often go this way know it. Our Fan family caravan is in charge of the current section. We have been working hard, going back and forth every three days to deliver things.

They know that, we maintain A good road is for setting up stalls. Once they buy other people’s things, our business is not easy to do, we may not continue to set up stalls in this section, and the road will naturally not be repaired. A single person who sells things can’t afford it. The organized team may not be more serious than us in building roads.

Therefore, even if someone sells things cheaper, people who travel frequently will not buy them. If you take advantage of the moment, you will break the road in the future. When you continue to move forward, you will Know how good the section of the road we manage.”

Later people spoke confidently.

There happened to be a small team of three mules and seven people coming from the opposite side. Hearing this, one person proved: “It is true, the head of Fan has maintained a section of the road well, especially the big river and two roads that need to be crossed ahead. There is a small river, as long as the bamboo ropes are obviously worn, the Fan family will be replaced.

If it rains and the water rises and the small bridge is difficult to pass, the Fan family will set up tents on both sides of the bank to provide us with a place to rest and shelter from the rain, and then Boil a pot of ginger soup and give it to everyone for free when they get there, so how can we be embarrassed to buy other people’s things?”

“Yes, it’s been two years. We’ve taken the road of Fanjiaxiu the most comfortable way. Their two booths are not just to put out the stalls, but to build a large row of wooden houses. If you are tired, you can go in and sleep. It’s only a penny at a time, and if you rent their quilt, it’s three cents.

But as long as someone has slept in their quilt once, they will take off the outside cover and wash it. The

body is soft and warm.

And as long as you have eaten at their stall once, they will remember the taste you like, and the people at each of their stalls can speak at least more than ten dialects.”

Zhang Xiaobao’s The target Liu Feng also followed suit.

Zhang Xiaobao listened and felt that this was not an ordinary businessman who set up a stall on Seventy Mile Road, but the Oriental Hotel in Thailand at that time.

Is there such a catering and accommodation industry in Datang?

Yes, Zhang Xiaobao is very sure, because it is his own restaurant, and he can remember every customer.

But the problem is that everyone who can enter their own restaurant for dinner needs to register, and it is impossible to check and register in a chain. It is still not at that level, unless it is a special customer who is treated like that.

Now this Fan family’s booth can actually remember people, which means that the other party has a person with excellent memory. It is not worthwhile to spend such a mind on two booths. It should have better development instead of focusing on energy. Wasted in situations where passing guests don’t need you to remember.

Sighing secretly, Zhang Xiaobao felt sorry for the Fan family when he admired them.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaobao said kindly: “The Fan family should actually make the business bigger, such as taking on the road of 500 miles, and then all the business of these 500 miles is the responsibility of the Fan family and has to pay taxes. The

Fan family not only It only deals in food, drink and lodging, but also in repairing cars and providing finished clothes. It also undertakes the emergency delivery service for the 500-mile road section, and even invites the hospital to send people to station in a certain place, and the Fan family provides rooms and services. eat and live.”

Zhang Xiaobao said to the person who had eaten his buns, he believed that if the Fan family really did that well, the people under him would naturally tell the person in charge of things that were beneficial to the Fan family.

But his voice just fell.

The person who came to speak after the Fan family sighed helplessly and said, “I am the current owner of the Fan family. I have considered what you said, and now there are aspects of car repairs, but my family has no money.

I imagined that. It is 300 li, which requires a lot of money. I went to the bank to ask. They said that the maximum loan for my family is 15,000. It sounds like a lot, but the cost of building roads and houses is definitely more than 15,000. I plan

to

run the seventy miles well first, and then gradually move forward when I have more money. In fact, I also thought about finding someone to work with. They couldn’t meet my requirements, so they didn’t succeed.”

Zhang Xiaobao nodded .

First, I didn’t expect that the person working with him was actually the head of the Fan family.

A businessman who puts down his body and works with his subordinates.

A businessman who is customer-oriented and provides the best service, a businessman who has a dream and is serious about starting from bit by bit, should not waste time on the accumulation of original capital.

Well, let yourself follow along, let go of your identity, and no longer see all the problems from the overall economic situation of Datang, start from a little bit, and help him meet his capital needs first.

Zhang Xiaobao thought so, but felt that he should ask more clearly, so he said: “Why can’t they meet your requirements?”

“Because they think my requirements are unreasonable. They call me stupid.” The head of the Fan family said: “I The request is. First, build a bathing pool in every place where there is a rest, free for guests to use.” The

Fan family raised a finger, which meant that he had other requirements.

Zhang Xiaobao didn’t answer either and continued to listen.

“The second one. No matter whether the guest is sick or not, we will arrange for someone to check it, and at the same time prepare a change of clothes of various sizes, so that the lodging people can wear clean clothes the next day, free of charge.

The third is to recruit idlers from people along the way to work at my place.

At the same time, they bought local prey at a high price and brought game with them.

Fourth, there must be at least two women in each place who can take care of children, because there are women in some teams and they give birth on the way, so think about them.

The

head of the Fan family said three more things, and then heaved a sigh of relief: “What I said, they think it is useless, and if they do it, it will increase the cost.

But I have always felt that doing business is also a human being. You earn what you should earn, and you must pay for what you should pay. Only when you treat your guests well will guests be willing to spend money at your place.

”

Zhang Xiaobao decided to help the other party. He knew that many inns in this era can provide services like home away from home, but he has never heard of the other party’s detailed services without spending money.

Although he said that any one of his own home In buying and selling, when someone needs help, and that person has no chance to find a place to help the yamen, his own family will help. But there is the biggest difference. This is not the idea of a businessman, but I and Juanjuan are transforming Datang, and they have a strong personal will. In their eyes, there are no guests, only the people of Datang.

It is epoch-making for the head of the Fan family to think about it like this, even better than his younger brother. The sisters have done better. We have

to think of a way. Since the road is built, the state should provide some of the money as a subsidy, and then the bank will provide more credit loans, so there will be no problem.

Zhang Xiaobao has a decision in his heart, mouth I didn’t say it. If he told the head of the Fan family, he needed to show his identity, otherwise why would people believe you? But there is Liu Feng, the target of this time, next to him.

So Zhang Xiaobao still smiled at the Fan family .

The owner of the family said: “Fan Dong’s family thinks really well, I don’t see people very accurately, but this time I have confidence that you will succeed.

”

“Brother Ji Yan, I will write a note to my brother. If we don’t catch up when my brother arrives at the front, my brother will go to the stall to drink tea, and I will invite him.”

”

The owner of the Fan family was talking, and he really found a pen and paper to write a letter that he wanted to provide something for free, and handed it over to Zhang Xiaobao.

Zhang Xiaobao, who took over the receipt, didn’t know if he had a chance to enjoy this free treatment. Now he was thinking about how to continue to follow Liu Feng, whether to rush to the front first, or to find an excuse to stop.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Xiaobao said, “Thank you so much, how far will the road repair be done?”

“It’s all right now, Brother Liu, thank you for your help, why don’t we go together, I still have drinks prepared there, and the weather is good today. “The head of the Fan family looked at the road that was crushed by Shi Yanzi and said.

At the same time, Liu Feng was invited over for a drink.

Zhang Xiaobao knew that this was a polite remark. If Liu Feng went, it would be difficult for him to refuse. If he didn’t go, he wouldn’t go.

An idea came to his mind, Zhang Xiaobao looked surprised and said to Liu Feng: “So this brother Liu is not a member of the team, he is really a good person, Brother Liu. It’s better than this, I have nothing to do now, yo yo Dada. Would you like to accompany Brother Liu to browse and watch along the road?” When

Liu Feng heard Zhang Xiaobao’s words, he immediately became embarrassed and hesitated.

He said, “I suddenly remembered that I have something to do. I have to hurry. Sorry.

”

So Liu Feng got on his horse and urged him to run far away, not too slow.

Zhang Xiaobao smiled and ran forward as well, a little slower than Liu Feng, but faster than the Fan family’s team.

After leaving Zhang Xiaobao, he began to regret it. Before he came out this morning, he thought that Liu Feng would run out for dozens of miles.

Then he turned into a fork in the road, but it was obvious now that it was noon and passed two stalls of the Fan family.

Because Liu Feng didn’t slow down, it was impossible for him to stop and drink free tea.

If you continue to run forward, you will not be able to go back today.

However, Zhang Xiaobao was not worried that he would not have a place to stay at night. There were many people behind him, keeping a certain distance and stopping when he needed to rest. Naturally, someone set up the tent.

Wait for the future.

Liu Feng finally stopped, Zhang Xiaobao just breathed a sigh of relief, and found that people stopped not to go somewhere, but the horse needed a rest.

Looking down at his horse, Zhang Xiaobao also stopped a few miles away from Liu Feng, found a place with water to lead the horse over, and watched the horse eat grass and drink water.

After resting for a while, Zhang Xiaobao mounted the horse again and followed behind Liu Feng.

When the sun turned into a salty duck egg yolk and fell on the top of the mountain in the west, Zhang Xiaobao finally met another stall on the road that was set up by others. He bought delicious food for three times more expensive than usual. I also followed to eat some forage, and speed up when I got on the horse again, for fear of losing myself.

Otherwise, at night, Shuiyun will not be able to help.

When the stars twinkled in the sky, Zhang Xiaobao’s heart suddenly became uneasy, so he urged the horse to run quickly, out of the road for six or seven miles, when he met a group of people walking forward, the team was lit with torches.

Zhang Xiaobao stopped to ask, but the other party said that he did not see any other horses passing by.

“Okay, you are amazing, the timing is really good, when the night comes, I’m too close, you can hear the sound of horse’s hooves, I’m far away, I can’t hear your hooves, where did you get off the road? ?”

Zhang Xiaobao muttered angrily, and turned the horse back to see if there were any traces left. If he just went back like this, Wang Juan would not be happy for half a month?

If you take action yourself, you can also lose people, and if you say it, it can be recorded in the annals of history.

“Where did you go? Does it have a horse’s hoof print anyway? The horse is so heavy, and there is another person sitting on it, all fours on the ground, it is impossible to disappear directly.”

Zhang Xiaobao, who had lost his tracking target, continued to mutter, and took out the flashlight at the same time. , looking at the road photos when we came, I hope to see an obvious trace of horseshoes.

Walking back a few miles, Zhang Xiaobao met someone from his own family.

“Little son, we are here, you plan to…” The family members asked when they saw Zhang Xiaobao.

“I’m going to look for the horse’s hoof print. Liu Feng doesn’t know where he got off. I saw clouds circling just before it got dark. After dark, I ran out for about 20 miles, and the approximate range is here. ”

Zhang Xiaobao said helplessly to the people who came over.

Everyone understands that the young master is lost, so let’s help find it, take out the flashlights one by one, divide a few groups of people to speed up, and then follow Duan’er to start looking for the obvious horseshoe prints to the left and right, and to keep new ones. The kind below.

After more than an hour, at the moment Zhang Xiaobao was looking forward to, someone reported: “Little Master, I found it, just three miles ahead, go down the left side of the road, there are traces of horses stepping on the grass there.”

“Okay. , come with me, and I have to ask the Institute of the Ministry of Industry to think about night vision equipment as soon as possible.” Zhang Xiaobao greeted and rushed to the place.

Let others set up tents to rest here temporarily, and a few others went back to report and tell the family, Zhang Xiaobao followed the traces with ten people.

He could have gone by himself, but for fear of encountering beasts, he didn’t want to play with wolves, bears or something.

After walking forward for about a quarter of an hour, there were traces of horseshoes on the grass in front of me all the time. If you continue to move forward, you will reach the mountain. Follow the traces up the mountain, and after a while, you will see a horse tied to a tree in front of you.

The light of the flashlight did not directly shine on the eyes of the horse, for fear that the horse would be startled and strangle himself in the process of breaking free from the rope. Instead, the light was pointed at the ground. The horse saw the light and opened his eyes very curiously and looked over here. Come.

Unlike a well-trained hungry war horse, this horse does not show vigilance and irritability. It is a horse for rent. For it, no matter who it encounters, as long as it does not hurt it, as long as it does not hurt it. It feels very normal, not to mention that there are eleven others of the same kind.

“Actually got off the horse and left. UU reading www.sonicmtl.com left two people to watch the horse. The rest of the people chased after me. Don’t put the horse with his horse and sort out the nearby traces.”

Zhang Xiaobao commanded, He followed the traces left by Liu Feng with the remaining eight people. This time Zhang Xiaobao was not afraid. He was far away before, but now he entered the mountain and hid the flashlight in his sleeve to prevent the light from spreading. Liu Fengliu He could find any trace of it.

He was arrested early in the past two times, and he spent money after that to learn the various terrain tracking methods of the special forces of other countries. After all, he was a professional.

Going forward again, a river appeared. Zhang Xiaobao observed the traces of sand and stones by the river, and determined that Liu Feng crossed the river and followed.

While walking, Zhang Xiaobao admired Liu Feng. He was so daring. He ran into the woods by himself. What if he encountered a beast?

Does he also carry snake repellent and deworming medicine with him?

It belongs to the behavior of asking for money and not life.

“Little Young Master, this person is a talented person who trains and trains.” A person said to Zhang Xiaobao.

“What I’m thinking about now is where he got the money.” Zhang Xiaobao said.
