The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

"Let's just say it. If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't tell you. Once you know it, you won't be able to sleep tonight." Li Wenbai glanced at this person, his intestines went to the bottom, he couldn't hide the matter in his heart, and what he said was Such a person.

General Zhao and his wife have been divided into two bureaus for so many years, and they finally came back to the capital, so they must hurry up and do something.

If you disturb other people's married life right now, you will be struck by lightning!

"I'm so happy. With you here, I won't be unable to sleep." With a smile on his face, General Zhao hugged the young man in his arms, bowed his head and kissed the top of the young man's hair, feeling that the young man with him really good.

In fact, Li Wen couldn't understand why the soldiers at the border had been so poor for so many years. Could it be that they all lived on the little food and salaries distributed here in the capital?After the two of them got into bed, Li Wen asked Zhao Xiangyi what was produced at the border and if there was anything special.

I learned from Zhao Xiangyi about the situation at the border. There are actually a lot of goods there, and there are things there that are not here in the capital. They can transport the goods from the border back to the capital and sell them from here. , You can earn a lot of money by changing hands.

In fact, one of the main problems now is the inconvenience of transportation and the difficulty of transportation. However, their roads are already being paved. According to this speed, the roads will be paved to the border in three to five years.

Li Wen said, "When the post office at the border gate is established in the future, the goods can be entrusted to the post office for delivery, and the post office will send it to the capital." At present, their post office follows the road, and the road is paved. Wherever, post offices and post stations are established.

"Actually, have you ever thought about one thing." Li Wen nestled in the man's arms, found a comfortable position to lean against, and continued, "This time, the emperor did not order the disarmament. Some of you must have other ideas, no Those who are willing to obey the arrangement, in fact, these people's congresses can choose to go it alone. If you gather all these people together, you can actually set up a freight team by yourself, which is responsible for the route from the border to the capital. If you develop slowly in the future , you can also run from south to north and from north to south."

Zhao Xiangyi didn't quite understand this, "You mean let them build a caravan?"

"It's not a caravan." Li Wen knew that this person had misunderstood it, so he explained what logistics and freight are. It is not a caravan. To form a caravan is to do business with your own money, and you will be responsible for any losses. Freight is just a caravan. Simply give things to others, without taking the risk of business.

Of course, freight is also risky, that is, if the goods are lost, compensation must be paid to the customer.

"To put it simply, it is dedicated to escorting things, delivering goods to others, sending letters, and other things. For example, those illegal and undeliverable goods will not be transported. We still need to establish a rule and system." In this era. In fact, there are also escort bureaus, but how to say, most of the escort bureaus only accept some valuable items and protect some special people, they do not accept ordinary orders.Escort also has very strict requirements for bodyguards, and not everyone can become a representative.

What he is talking about now is actually more inclined to the logistics of later generations. The reason why some logistics companies of later generations can develop so strong and rapidly is actually the increasing demand for logistics and the convenience of express delivery.If they can make logistics an industry that benefits the people, they don't have to worry about not making money.

"Of course, we can also form our own caravan. But you have to know that not all people are suitable for business, but in comparison, it is much easier to just be responsible for transporting goods." Li Wen did not It is recommended that they form a caravan. Doing business will definitely involve investment and management, which will test the merchant's sensitivity and awareness of commodities and markets.

The transmission of information in this era is not so fast. After you have worked hard to transport a batch of goods to the destination, you find that the selling price does not make up for the cost, then this transaction is a loss.

"However, if we can be sure that this business will be profitable, we can also do it. Like the jade business I mentioned just now, if we transport the jade to the capital and sell it after fine processing, as long as If our finished products are good, we will definitely be able to sell them and make money." Li Wen became more energetic as he talked, and wanted to say a lot of things in his mind with great interest.

Zhao Xiangyi became more sleepy the more he listened, Li Wen found that the eyelids of the man beside him were drooping, and he was so angry.

Li Wen elbowed the man, and said, "Hey, there is one more thing."

"Well, you said."

Zhao Xiangyi leaned on the boy's neck, rubbing his lips against the boy's white and tender skin.Li Wen raised his head, took a bite of the man's chin, and said, "I've made an agreement with you now, if I want you to go to the border in the future, I will go with you."

Zhao Xiangyi opened his eyes and looked at Li Wen. The two looked at each other. There was no sleepiness in the man's eyes. He was pretending just now.

of.

"Don't think that I'll be here in the capital waiting for you to come back. I can't wait." Li Wen reached out to touch the man's face and gave him a little

laugh.

He could understand the Zhao family's concern for the soldiers at the border, but he was worried that this man would inherit his father's legacy and go to the border to guard the country instead of General Zhao.

He had agreed that Zhao Xiangyi would go to the border in the future, and he would go with him. He would never wait for Zhao Xiangyi to come back in the capital. The two of them would not see each other for three to five years.Li Wen really admired the women of the Zhao family. After the men went to the border, they could stay in the capital safely and wait for the men to come back. If it were him, they would have already gone to the border to find someone.

Li Wen didn't have a smile on his face, he just seriously explained the fact, "I'm not a woman." So he won't be like a woman, who has to abide by the door and not step in, and stay at home until the man comes back.

"Well, I know, I didn't regard you as a woman, you have always been the same as me." Zhao Xiangyi put his arms around his boy, kissed him on the face, and said, "We will be together in the future, we won't divided."

"Okay." Li Wen finally let go of his heart, put his arms around the man's waist, and buried his face in the man's chest.

The two talked for a long time at night, it was already late at night, they didn't do anything behind them, they hugged each other and fell asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, the emperor personally rewarded General Zhao Zhuo Zhao as a general, and this time he led the soldiers to attack the enemy, killed the general Hu Jun, and disturbed the general Zhao Si inside the Hu Jun, and his subordinates. A group of soldiers.

This successful attack disrupted Hu Jun's plan to enter Dacheng's palace and relieved Dacheng's crisis.

So this time the meritorious soldiers were all rewarded by the emperor.

For these soldiers, they fight on the battlefield and fight with their lives in order to make meritorious deeds, serve the court and protect the country.In fact, for many people, they don't have such noble feelings. They work hard just to get promoted and get rich rewards.

But no matter whether their feelings are noble or not, not many people can match the courage to go into battle and kill the enemy's commander.

Being able to stand on the golden palace, see the emperor, and get the praise and rewards of the emperor, it is worth telling their children and grandchildren for most of their lives.

Within two days, General Zhao Zhuo Zhao passed the application for the title of the crown prince.

What everyone didn't expect was that General Zhao Zhuo asked for the title of son for the second son.

Obviously, General Zhao Zhuo Zhao still has an eldest son, doesn't he?Why not ask the eldest son to be the crown prince, but the second son to be the crown prince.But when the emperor's second edict comes down, everyone will understand.

The emperor's second imperial decree was to promote Zhao Xiangyi from the original fourth-rank general Mingwei to the third-rank general Jinwu, and at the same time serve as the commander of the Jingwei, and also gave the general's mansion.

At this moment everyone understood, no wonder General Zhao Zhuo asked the second son to be crowned son, the eldest son did not need such a false rank as the son.General Jin Wu, who is in the third rank, also serves as the commander of the Jingwei, which is the real power in his hands.

After the crown prince took the throne, everyone in the capital was guessing where Zhao Xiangyi, the crown prince's companion, would sit. Therefore, when they knew that the emperor had promoted Zhao Xiangyi to be the commander of the Jingwei, the officials in the court did not agree. I don't think there is anything strange.

Everyone in the capital could see that the new emperor trusted and reused the Zhao family, and the Zhao family was about to become different.

After the emperor's two imperial decrees came down, many matchmakers in Beijing went to General Jinwu's mansion every day, but they were all turned away.The General’s Mansion is next to the Liuyuan Mansion. The two houses are adjacent to each other. The gates of the two houses are tightly closed. The matchmakers in the capital haven’t given up on going to the Liuyuan Mansion to match Li Liuyuan, but they can’t even enter the door. don't go.

There are also matchmakers who go to the general's mansion of Zhen Guo instead, and want to match the young prince.

The Wang family sent the second son away on the grounds that the second son was too young and did not intend to make an engagement for the second son so early.These matchmakers had no choice but to continue squatting at General Jinwu's Mansion and Liuyuan Mansion instead.

Right now Li Wenzheng and Zhao Xiangyi are inside his general's residence, and they all know that there are quite a few matchmakers waiting for them outside.His favorite tea and snacks were placed on the table. Li Wen pinched a piece of mung bean cake and put it into his mouth. After swallowing it, he asked, "Did you ask the emperor to give you the house on purpose?"

The house that the emperor bestowed on Zhao Xiangyi was exactly the one that Zhao Xiangyi bought next door to his Liuyuan Mansion, but now it has a different name, and the mansion on the door is General Jinwu's Mansion, so this man can live here aboveboard.

The walls of the courtyards on both sides of them are opened, and they can go to the other side as soon as they open the door.

"Hehe..." Zhao Xiangyi chuckled and asked, "What do you think?"

There is no doubt that this person did it on purpose!Li Wen looked up at the laughing man, and smiled too.In this way, it will be much more convenient for them to meet in the future. At least this man doesn't have to sneak up in the middle of the night to see him, and he has to leave early in the morning. Isn't that not bad?
