"Haha, you guys are indeed here!"

When Wang Gongchen arrived at the intersection, he saw Xu Ping, Zhao Xu and others sitting on the side of the road, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted.

Seeing that he was sweating profusely, Xu Ping hurriedly asked the owner to bring a bowl of tea, let Wang Gongchen drink it, and sit down and take a breath.

After Wang Gongchen stopped, Xu Ping asked him: "I haven't sent anyone to your place yet, how did you know I'm here?"

Wang Gongzhe smiled and said, "You are all in the transportation service, which is the top priority of our country's army. When we were still in Caizhou, we spread all over our place. I calculated that it was time for you to come to Ruzhou. Today I went to Zhoucheng to pick up the goods, and I specially followed us."

The time to stay in each place is limited, and the itinerary can be calculated. It is not surprising that Wang Gongchen just happened to catch up.

Seeing Wang Gongchen's people leading him straight to the Sansi Shop, Xu Pingqi said, "What goods are you picking up? So many people have come."

"At this time, the main thing is to buy cars. There are fewer people and more land for field management, and there are more places to use cars. There are not many goods available in small places in Ruzhou at a time, so they can only order them and transport them in batches."

Because there is no waterway between him and Henan Prefecture, the vehicles in Ruzhou were transported by land, and the transportation capacity was greatly reduced. Xu Ping once saw a team of Sansipuzi transport vehicles on the road. The rear trucks were all mounted on the front trucks, one after another, and a cow could pull many cars. At that time, I found it very novel, but I didn't expect that the transporters could come up with this method, which was very efficient.

But even in this way, it can only transport dozens of vehicles at a time, which is far from meeting the demand for a state. Wang Gongchen's management of land management is even more powerful, and he needs almost as much as he wants, just like a bottomless pit. Anyway, the transportation company owes him money and food, and the car money is deducted from the debts owed, almost like a free pickup, so don't do it in vain.

The Ru River flows through Ruzhou and belongs to the Huaihe River system. Although it is not navigable with Henan Prefecture in the Yellow River system, it has ships to Xuzhou, Caizhou and Chenzhou in the downstream, and is connected to the Bian River, making water transportation very convenient. Therefore, Sansipuzi, the goods transported from Luoyang to the lower reaches of the Huaihe River, are also transported to Ruzhou and then down the Ru River. In this sense, Ruzhou is an important dock for water and land transportation, and has an extraordinary status in the Sansipuzi system.

After talking for a while, Zhao Xu said, "It's rare that Wang Tiju also went to the city today and just came together. I'll be a host tonight and will not return until I get drunk tonight!"

Xu Ping smiled and shook his head: "According to the regulations, the transshipment officer should not enter the city. I have made an exception to go to the state yamen today. I will go to your host again, but I can't explain it again. Before I return to Xijing, someone will probably submit a memorial to me. Forget it, I will be grateful for Xiping's feelings, so I will be spared from the banquet. Let's start working hard tomorrow. I really have to have a banquet, and I will talk about it when this inspection is over."

Because Zhao Xu was his own in the same year, Xu Ping had just entered the city and sat in the state yard and had to go back to the inn when it was dark. He couldn't even spend the night in the city, so how could he dare to drink Zhao Xu's wine? There were still several officials on the West Jing Road who didn't like Xu Ping.

Wang Gongchen took a tea and took a break in the summer. After hearing this, he said, "What's the difficulty? The camp and field affairs are located in Zhaoluo Town on the side of the Ru River. It's not far from the city of Zhou. You all go there to visit, I'll be the host!"

Zhao Xu smiled and said, "June is also worthy of being an owner. Speaking of which, you are much richer than our prefectures and counties."

The land management is not only rich, but also has high financial freedom, and it does not cost much money like the prefectures and counties, which is incomparable to local governments.

Xu Ping was in charge of the land of the road. Wang Gongchen was a subordinate of his position, but he was not as good as in the prefectures and counties. Not to mention drinking, no one could say anything if he lived there for a while.

Now it was decided that when Wang Gongchen's subordinates went to Sansi Shop to raise the car, a few of them would go to Zhaoluo Town together. Xu Ping took a look at the situation of the camping and field, especially the cotton. It was the critical time to bloom.

Zhao Xu sent someone back to the state yamen, Xu Ping sent someone back to the inn, and with Wang Gongchen, he left the state city.

Walking along the Ru River is not a big road, there are no pedestrians, and the scenery is full of fields. There are small boats passing by in the Ru River next to it, some carrying Sansipu’s cargo to Chenzhou and Caizhou downstream. However, most of the ships still carry coal, and the ships are very well drafted and move forward slowly.

Under the rule of Ruzhou, there was a low mountain between the two counties of Longxing and Xiangcheng, with high-quality coal mines. This is the largest coal mine in the Central Plains region and an important high-quality coal production in China in Xu Ping's previous life, Pingdingshan Coal Sea. At this time, the coal here had begun to be developed, especially after Xu Ping returned to the Central Plains from Yongzhou, the pace of development suddenly accelerated. The coal was mined from here, along the Ru River, and all the way to Beiwu Town in Xuzhou. There is the largest iron ore in the Central Plains, and the newly built steel center is located there. The coal mine and the iron ore are connected by a Ru River, becoming the largest iron smelting center in the world.

Without steam power, coal and steel can't become the core of industry if they are combined. At this time, this area is not prosperous. But steel is an important material, and industry, agriculture and even military use are widely used, which is still very important. However, whether it is iron or coal mines, the main force is the official business, and the local government thinks it is a burden and doesn't care much about it.

It was the hot summer in June. The fragrance of fruits and melons and fruits on both sides of the road were blowing, and the cool breeze was blowing from the Ru River, and birds were singing on the trees. From time to time, a few hares were startled and they ran around in panic.

I was exhausted and exhausted all the way out of the patrol. It was rare to have such a leisurely time today. Xu Ping rode on his horse, watching the scenery and relaxing. I don’t know how much time I have not appreciated the scenery of this world anymore, and I always feel that there is a whip rushing me on my back, so I can’t feel relaxed.

After traveling to several states in the past few months, seeing the changes he brought to Jingxi Road, Xu Ping was full of hope for the future, and his heavy mood finally relaxed a little. The biggest change was transportation. There were more boats running on the river and more cars and horses on the road. Sansipu drove to every state and larger counties, and was expanding to smaller counties. The channels for doing business have been built, and what he lacks now is the goods sold on the Internet. After all, social development will still fall into the development of productivity. Now there is only a breakthrough, and everything he does will show explosive power.
