"Invest in the car. You have to invest according to the number of stops you take. Don't invest too little. If you don't invest enough, you won't be able to earn money. In the future, there won't be any cars for you."
A 'driver' of a car was at the station of Chang 'an Fang, urging everyone to get on the car and put in money.
There were two horses and three carriages, which could accommodate thirty people at a time.
It was easier for two horses to pull than a cart loaded with goods on level ground, and they hated parking.
Every time he asked to stop, it would be very tiring to start again. It was best to keep jogging like this.
The adults tossed out their small-denomination exchange coupons. Some gave one coin, while the most they gave was one coin.
The coachman looked back and saw that a few children refused to get off the carriage.
"You still want to walk around? The next stop is your house again. Aren't you getting off? "The driver was very unhappy.
His heart ached for the horse. Since the child did not cost any money, he sat there the whole time.
They sat at one stop after another without any destination. They had already gone around in a big circle, but they still didn't get off.
The route he was in charge of took him an hour to complete one lap, and he had to change horses every two laps.
The horse that was replaced took the opportunity to rest. It ran for six hours a day and ate four meals a day. There was an extra meal in the evening.
Of course, if he kept urging the horse to run, the horse would keep running until it collapsed.
It was different from a donkey. A donkey had a temper. When it was tired, it would stop running.
Therefore, between a horse and a donkey, one had to be killed to ensure that the donkey would be killed.
The adults who got on the car followed the advice
"You guys can go down now. You're off today. No homework?"
"Let's go home and help the adults with some work. It's no use sitting around in the car."
"Listen to me. Let's go to the next stop. Don't delay the bus from making money."
The children didn't want to go down, but since everyone said so, they could only nod. They did have homework, and they had to help out at home.
Isn't this a holiday? Let's have a day off and experience the carriage. It doesn't cost any money anyway.
The carriage ran to the next stop, and the children smiled and waved.
When they reached another stop, they saw a carriage passing by on the opposite track.
Basically, it was two stations apart. The bigger stations had two stations and the smaller stations had one station.
There were quite a number of people who went out every day. Some of them even worked in other workshops before returning home for lunch.
Otherwise, they would need to bring food or buy food.
Spending a few cents to eat at home was both economical and heartwarming.
Usually, they would take a clay pot, and when they returned home, they would first go to the place where free soup was distributed to fill it with soup.
Bringing the soup home would save money, but there were no free salted vegetables in the city.
The soup was paid for by the imperial court. The number of pots in each workshop varied according to the size of the workshop.
Some had six pots, while others had ten pots.
On the surface, it looked like the imperial court was at a disadvantage, but in reality, it saved the commoners the time it took to boil the soup. The consumption of coal was also reduced.
There were temples and monasteries, and the soup came from the temples and monasteries. The soup in the temples was usually made with vegetable oil, and the soup was made with plumeria.
If there was no frangipani, the commoners would rather go to other shops to get soup.
There were more than 800,000 people in Chang 'an. Even Li Yi couldn't provide free soup every day.
The people of the Tang dynasty should know that they were from the Tang dynasty.
There were free salted vegetables in the county outside, but they were not allowed to take them away. They could only eat them on the spot.
The carriages were running. When the pedestrians saw that the carriages were coming, they stood behind a line drawn on the ground and were not allowed to cut in front of them.
The adults had to take good care of the children. Don't suddenly rush out. The driver had to brake the carriage urgently, which would harm the horses.
It would also harm the wheels. There was a brake device on the carriages. It was a lever placed on the side. When the lever was pressed down, the wooden stick in front of the wheel rose and pressed against the wheel.
The two carriages at the back were connected to each other. When the front carriage stopped, the force of the back carriage was applied to the front carriage through the connection.
Therefore, the driver would slow down at the intersection. Otherwise, it would be too late to brake. The horses ran on their own and didn't want to hit people, but they couldn't control it.
The carriages were running around in Chang 'an, and the number of people walking decreased significantly.
It would take three stops to carry 20 pounds of goods. It was better to get on the carriage and spend three cents.
It would be very tiring to carry the goods and delay the work.
There was also the distance of 20 miles from the east to the west, and from the west to the east. Needless to say, how long would it take to walk by oneself?
They might as well spend some money and get on the carriage.
There were also people carrying poles from the south of the city. They went to the city gate and waited for a carriage to arrive. They carried the poles and paid extra money for the poles. Soon, they arrived at the east or west market.
At the moment, the track in the south of the city was also being repaired. It extended to the place where the officials lived, including the warehouse area.
The commoners were working and resting. They couldn't help, so they could only look forward to it.
After the track was laid, they directly got on the carriage after entering the city.
In the south of the city, there was another place that was one kilometer long and one kilometer wide that was being renovated.
The captives were responsible for the work. They laid the foundation and then built a two-story building. There was also a large square area.
Looking at the foundation, it could actually be built with four stories. The second story could be added at any time.
The commoners didn't know what to do with it. They wondered where else would come and live.
Two days later, everything in the south of the city was finished.
The women living in the settlement area in front of the Li Family Zhuangzi just finished the work that Li Yi had arranged for them.
They changed into new uniforms and arrived at their positions on the track that extended from the south of the city.
The Li Family Zhuangzi began to move goods from the warehouse in the south of the city. All kinds of goods that could be found in the east and west markets were delivered.
The difference was that they didn't sell people or large livestock.
The two-story building was for snacks, clothing, restaurants, teahouses, and so on.
After a day of loading, the women set off again the next morning. At the same time, the newspapers were distributed.
"Selling newspapers. There's a Li Family Zhuangzi Shopping Market in the south of the city. You can go there to buy things."
"Selling newspapers. The Li Family Zhuangzi provides a free carriage. It departs from various places every morning."
"The Li Family Zhuangzi's carriage is sent out every 15 minutes. It goes directly to the Shopping Market in the south of the city. You can't get off on the way.
On the return journey, you can buy goods with a receipt. You can get off at any time after you hand in the receipt. "
"There are empty shops and stalls for rent in the Shopping Market in the south of the city. They are sold once a month and the price is low. The shops can be sold once a day and the price is slightly higher than the monthly rental. "
The newspaper boys began to advertise that there was another big market in Chang 'an besides the east and west markets.
The key was that there was no need to pay for the carriage to this market. When you came back, you only needed to buy one thing and it was free.
However, the receipt was only used once a day. There was a date on it and it couldn't be used the next day.
By the way, the market was for rent and not for sale.
Hearing the news, the commoners felt that it was interesting. They could directly take a free carriage and come back after they bought some things.
The people in the east and west markets couldn't stay calm. There was a new market there? Would it take away the customers?
… …
"Renting stalls and shops will cost a lot of money, Bi Goo." Song Jing reminded Bi Goo in the Political Affairs Hall.
Bi Goo replied with a sigh. There was no other way. They had agreed that there would be tax exemption for two years.
There was still one and a half years left. How much tax would they earn?
"It's okay. It's only two years." Su Yi comforted him.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Bi Goo was not happy.
