Chapter 949 The stepmother of the gloomy villain (19)
When it was almost Chinese New Year, Huo Jingzhou discovered that there seemed to be many more unfamiliar servants in the mansion, who must have entered the mansion recently.
In a princely house like theirs, most of the people who are employed are the children of those families.
Of course, having children in such a family will also create a force that can compete with the main family.
It's not that there are no servants like this who buy half-heartedly, it's just that there aren't so many of them.
In confusion, when Huo Jingzhou went to greet Shi Jiang, he asked casually, and then he learned that Shi Jiang had sent the former servants of the mansion to work in various state capitals!
"Mother, does our family have so much property?"
Huo Jingzhou looked confused. Although he knew that the Jinghaihou Mansion had many businesses outside, it was not to the extent that so many state capitals had open stores.
And now, mother actually sent so many servants from the family to those state capitals?
"Have you forgotten that we had tea shops in many state capitals before?"
Shi Jiang picked up the tea at hand, took a slow sip, and then said.
"Here, don't those tea shops say that after two years, the management rights will be sold to the shopkeepers?"
Huo Jingzhou was a little confused. Could it be that his mother had other ideas?
But the biggest reason why their tea shop was able to open in so many prefectures in just a few months was because my mother promised to give priority to purchase the right to operate the shop after two years.
If we go back on our word, I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among the people below.
"Of course we don't ask them to take over those tea shops, but we ask them to buy a private house there as a base, and then buy a carriage to travel to the nearest state capital and town."
Hearing what his mother said, Huo Jingzhou was a little confused. Why did he do these things?
"Let's put it this way, now those state capitals are all opening tea shops, and our house specializes in supplying those bamboo cups and straws. But if we send them there, we will incur a fee on the way. It is a waste of time and money.
.So, I plan to set up a stronghold in the state capital where these tea shops are located. With the capital as the center point, it will radiate out to the surrounding state capitals.
Go there. Then set up transfer stations in important state capitals, so that the goods only need to be sent to the nearest transfer station in the state capital there, and then distributed from the transfer station, which can save time and effort. Moreover, waiting for such transfer stations and various
After the delivery stations are established, we can not only deliver our bamboo cups and straws, but also deliver letters or other items."
Huo Jingzhou was shocked when he heard his mother say this, and then quickly replied.
"Is it just like those escort agencies in the capital?"
Shi Jiang nodded and then said.
"It's similar, except that most of these escort agencies deliver goods with important security, and they are basically one-way routes. As long as I can operate it reasonably, there will be a steady stream. The main price will not be
It’s very expensive, and ordinary people can afford it.”
Shi Jiang said with confidence.
She wants to establish a postal system in the Daxi Dynasty. The speed may be a bit slow, but it can reach all parts of the country.
At the beginning, you may not make much money, but later on, the people of the Daxi Dynasty will know the benefits of this.
Although Huo Jingzhou didn't know what kind of express his mother was talking about, and what it would be like in the end.
After all, there are some escort agencies in the capital, but most of them don't make much money. The main reason is naturally because there are not that many valuable things to be escorted by someone.
As for ordinary things, if there are servants in the family, they will send servants to deliver them.
Ordinary people who don't have servants at home will not ask for escorts from escort agencies. At most, they just happen to meet someone they know and go to the place where they need to be escorted, and then ask someone to take them there.
But where do so many such coincidences come from?
It wasn't until Huo Jingzhou grew up that he took over the property of the Marquis of Jinghai Mansion after he turned sixteen, including the Luluda Express opened by Shi Jiang.
Only then did we suddenly realize how huge the benefits of this express delivery service are.
Accumulating sand makes a tower, accumulating a little makes a lot.
Huo Jingzhou discovered that there was no place in Daxi Dynasty that could not be reached by this road. Moreover, the people in some places who had turned into bandits because they were too poor became Lu Luda's employees under Lu Luda's recruitment.
As long as you are willing to work peacefully in Luluda for twenty years, after twenty years, even if you no longer continue to work in Luluda, Luluda will pay a monthly pension to these old employees to protect these
Old employees don’t have to worry about not making enough money or food to eat in their old age.
Of course, if you have worked in Luluda for twenty years and still want to continue working, then every five years, as long as you retire after reaching the age limit, you will receive a little more pension than the pension you received in twenty years.
This treatment makes all employees of Luluda closely united, especially those employees who joined Luluda when they were fifteen or sixteen years old. Even if they have been working for twenty years, they are still only in their thirties.
How can you, in your prime, be willing to just retire and get a pension?
Most of them choose to continue working, and the monthly salary they receive is much more than their pension!
Anyway, if they continue to sign contracts and work, when they can’t do anything anymore, they will get more pensions, so why not?
When Huo Jingzhou was sixteen years old, the King of Jin finally convinced his mother-in-law to marry Shen Bijun.
However, he also lost the capital to compete with his brothers for the crown prince and became an idle king.
Originally, the King of Jin was engaged in business from the time he was in the palace to when he came out to open a mansion.
In the past few years, due to the obstruction of his mother and concubine, his relationship with Shen Bijun has been bumpy, making him addicted to love and unable to extricate himself.
Although Shen Biru restrained her diet in the later period and stopped eating the food laced with medicine sent by Shen Bijun, she did not continue to bulge like a balloon, but her figure was still plump.
Therefore, Mrs. Shen found a family for her early and made an engagement.
When Huo Jingzhou was eighteen years old, Shen Biru got married.
However, Shen Bijun, who originally got her wish to marry the King of Jin, had a serious quarrel with the King of Jin.
Shen Bijun didn't understand why when she married Queen Jin, King Jin was no longer the prince?
Moreover, even the Prince Jinghai, who went crazy for his sister, is now so handsome that he has become a well-known and sought-after young man in the capital.
However, Huo Jingzhou did not get married early, but went out to travel around the country. It was not until he was twenty years old that he came back with a woman and respectfully bowed to Shi Jiang.
It means that the woman he brought back is the one he will spend his whole life with.
The old lady in the mansion died a few years ago.
Now in the Marquis of Jinghai Mansion, although all the general affairs have been handed over to Huo Jingzhou, Shi Jiang is still in charge of the middle affairs of the manor.
Now that his stepson has sent people to his door, Shi Jiang doesn't have any objections.
She quickly helped Huo Jingzhou hold a lively and grand wedding. The next day, when Huo Jingzhou took his newlywed wife to greet Shi Jiang, he only received a letter from Qixiayuan.
The letter said that Huo Jingzhou had been living freely and happily in the past few years, and now it was her turn!
