Protect Our Patriarch

Chapter 35: Open up transportation lines

  ...

   "Shouzhe, where did you get five to sixty thousand tons of grain?" Gongsun Qiang took a deep breath, almost incredulously said.

   The Shanyang Gongsun clan is also considered strong, sitting on 10,000 to 20,000 acres of fertile land. But even so, the grain output in one season can't reach five or sixty thousand quintals! What's more, the aristocratic family's fertile land must be distributed to the tenant farmers, and the tax is paid per mu each year. In addition, there are also consumptions such as grain reserve and insecticide powder.

   It can be seen from this, what an astronomical number of grains of five to six million tons. Even if it is normal, it is extremely difficult to get so much food at once, not to mention the current situation in this world.

   "I bought it from Qian's firm through a friend's relationship." Wang Shouzhe said, "Uncle, it should not be too late. Now I will set off to [Ju Cai Zhuang] first, and the carriage will follow."

   Gongsun’s carriage was specially reinforced because it had to transport minerals. The horses used to pull the carts are also the heavy-duty Northland heavy-duty horses with strong physique and full endurance. Each carriage uses four to five horses and can easily pull thousands of catties.

  Bought through friends?

   Gongsun Qiang's eyelids twitched. Where did this kind of friend come from, can you give me a dozen? With envy and jealousy and a little unbelief, he took the lead to follow Wang Shouzhe to 【Ju Cai Zhuang】.

  Ju Cai Zhuang is one of the Qian's industries, which is specially used to stock various bulk goods. Many bulk goods can easily be transported to the Changning Weicheng with tens of thousands, tens of thousands of tens of thousands, and so on.

   As for the fear of being attacked and robbed, that's a joke.

   Let's not say that the armed forces in the Jucai Zhuang are good, just say that the Longzuo giant Qian's brand is placed there, and no one dared to have any evil thoughts.

   Seeking through the door of Jucai Village, Qian Xue'an, the chief executive of the money, came out with a black face and looked like he didn't give Wang Shouzhe a good face.

   Then, he made a handover on behalf of Qian, and the two parties rewrote a contract. Qian "repurchased" the contract of Michongsan from Wang Shouzhe.

   The price is very reasonable, 10,000 dry gold in cash and 60,000 quintals of aged grain in stock. After repurchasing the original 5,000 bags of Exterminator, Qian's can sell at least 15,000 to 20,000 dry gold, and naturally he will not lose money.

   Regarding these "shameful" things, the shopkeeper of Qian's Changning branch didn't even want to show up. Everything was entrusted to Qian Xue'an. The shopkeeper, who had never shown up, had obviously thought about it a long time ago, and put the blame for all mistakes on Qian Xue'an, the principal of Qian.

   Therefore, when Qian Xuean assisted Wang Shouzhe with the procedures, his face was already "sullen" to the point of dripping water, and he didn't want to say a word to Wang Shouzhe from beginning to end.

   After everything was done, Wang Shouzhe threw a large stack of gold tickets and a guide of 60,000 quintals of grain, and left angrily.

   With such fake and real acting skills, Wang Shouzhe was also stunned. I felt in my heart that once Qian Xuean was successfully promoted to the Lingtai Realm, he would be a great man in the future.

   After finishing the procedures, Wang Shouzhe found Gongsun Qiang who was waiting outside: "Uncle, the procedures for receiving 60,000 dan Chen grains have been completed. When your people come, let's start shipping grains."

   Gongsun Qiang's body was shocked, and he was dumbfounded. Really, he actually "bought" a full 60,000 pallets of food. This big nephew is really incredible.

   Soon, Gongsun Qiang's twenty horse-drawn carriage convoy slowly drove in, and at the same time 80 sturdy mine slaves were brought along.

  In the granary piled up like a mountain, the old grains are all packed in rice bags, and one bag of rice is exactly one hundred catties. But the mine slaves easily picked up three or four bags and started loading the truck.

   "Uncle, how much can one car hold?" Wang Shouzhe has lived for two lifetimes and has never seen such a large amount of food. Although he had already predicted it in his heart, the volume and quantity still far exceeded his imagination.

"Pretend, even if you pretend, load up to a hundred pallets. Our carriages are all specially reinforced. The heavy horses in the Northland are not suitable for vegetarians." Gongsun Qiang has also begun to have red eyes. He has lived a lifetime, naturally. I have never seen so many grains piled together.

  With the power of the Sunyang family, it is enough to store 20,000 quintals of grain all year round, enough for thousands of strong laborers to eat for a year. The tenant farmers and miners and slaves of the Shanyang Gongsun clan, together with family members and so on, still have a population of at most thousands.

   hundreds of dan? That's tens of thousands of catties...

   Wang Shouzhe was a little surprised, this is indeed a fantasy world, not only the ordinary manpower is much more powerful, even the power of this heavy horse in the north is so powerful. Moreover, this is not a spirit beast-level war horse, otherwise it is even more powerful.

   Those mine slaves are obviously also used to heavy work. Every four people are assigned a carriage, but the carriage is installed after six or seven trips back and forth. One by one, the special carts for mines were overloaded and filled with grain.

   But even so, it's no more than two thousand dan.

  According to this pattern, can't you pull thirty times? Come on, take it slowly, anyway, I didn't expect to ship this batch of grain in a short time.

Fortunately, at this time, Qian Xuean appeared again. He still said with a cold face: "Our Qian's firm focuses on goodwill and will never embarrass customers. You can rent our heavy-duty carriage, including the coachman. The Twenty Big Bronze Day includes the rations for the coachman and the heavy-duty horse, and you are responsible for loading and unloading."

   Obviously, Qian Xuean took the risk and came to assist.

   But the grand uncle on the side, Sun Qiang, almost spit out old blood. Although the price given by the other party was reasonable, it also weakened his hard work, right?

   Originally, Gongsun Qiang wanted to use this help, cheeky, let the nephew even give him some food.

   "So there will be a laborer." Wang Shouzhe said happily, "Then rent another thirty carriages."

  The number of carriages owned by Qian's firm far exceeds that of Gongsun's, and their business is all over Longzuo. Of course, the carriage of carriages is extremely high, which is not inferior to Gongsun's carriage.

   When the fifty carriages were fully loaded, they drove out of Jucai Village.

   Jucai Village is only ten miles away from Changning Ferry. Under normal circumstances, a carriage can arrive within an hour. However, there are many people at Changning Ferry, and Wang Shouzhe doesn't want to fantasize for the time being to avoid outlandish.

   After the carriage passed the three forks, it walked on the road to Shanyang, and after another two or three miles, it turned in the direction of Anjiang and reached a dense forest. From here, the carriage can no longer go in. However, within the dense forest, it only takes more than a hundred steps to walk, and it is a vertical cliff of five to six feet high. Under the cliff, there is a natural bay of twenty to thirty feet wide.

   At this time, the sixth uncle Wang Dinghai had already received a letter from his home, leading the fleet to wait here, and set up the slanting temporary plank road. Those boats include fishing boats and ferry boats. In short, I brought all the boats that can be used at home.

   Although such transportation is laborious, it is very concealed.

From the carriage to the dense forest to the cliff and the boat, UU reading www.uukanshu.com takes about two hundred and fifty steps. Wang Shouzhe asked the mine slaves and the generals to stand in position, three steps and one person, relayed. Way to transport food.

   When everyone adapted to it, they discovered the advantages of this simple human transportation line, which was stable and orderly, and gradually improved in efficiency. The speed of loading can reach a burden between one or two breaths in the end, and it saves the time and energy of running back and forth very much.

   In just over an hour, he magically finished loading and unloading all the grain of fifty carriages. Afterwards, the horse team returned to Jucaizhuang to get another batch. Wang Shouzhe followed the fleet and crossed Anjiang all the way to [Fenggu Gate].

   There are more people at Fenggu Farm, with a full 200 tenant farmers, and it’s easy to pull out one hundred and fifty strong labors. Using the same method, the rice grains were transported through Fenggu Gate and temporarily stored in Fenggu Farm.

   There are not enough boats on the inland river, there are only five or six ships, and they have to be transported slowly on this last line.

  The successful opening of the transportation line caused Wang Shouzhe to relax, but at the same time he was strongly dissatisfied with his own transportation line.

   First of all, it is over-reliant on public ferry crossings and lack of private concealed small docks.

   The second is the inconvenience of the Anjiang River to the inland river. Because the water levels on both sides are not consistent, the single gate cannot be opened for a long time at will, otherwise it will cause waterlogging. In this regard, it is necessary to find a way to build a ship lock that can be used by ships.

  Furthermore, the family has obvious shortcomings in ship transportation and carriage transportation. Perhaps with the current scale of the Wang family, this shortcoming is not very obvious, but as the family continues to grow and expand, this shortcoming will severely hinder the development of the family.

   It seems that the establishment of a perfect transportation channel of its own is also an urgent matter.
