Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 484: Side job of newspaper delivery person
"Your Highness, in all states and counties, whether it is the common people, merchants, gentry or dignitaries, they rarely go out on weekdays.

Even if they go out, the farthest they can reach is only half a day, or even just an hour, or two hours.

As for going further, it’s a long journey.

But traveling far away is extremely difficult!

More than half of the people will never travel far once in their lives. For the remaining gentry and powerful people, it would be great if they can travel once a year! "

"Your Highness, although these gentry and dignitaries are the richest people in the Ming Dynasty.

However, they do not travel far once a year, and it is difficult for them to enjoy objects in cities hundreds or even thousands of miles away from them.

Therefore, they can't stop thinking about luxurious objects in the distance, or their classmates and friends, or relatives who are far away! "

"For this, they only need to know what objects are in which city in the distance, or if they are delivering letters to their distant relatives, they can hand them over to the person who sends the reports.

And the senders whom I report to belong to, take objects or money from their hands, and sign the documents...

Wait until it is delivered to the person who wants to receive it, and then sign a receipt!
Or buy them...

In this way, when the sender returns to the original place, the receipt will be handed over to the person who originally paid..."

"Your Highness, the reputation of my newspaper has spread all over the world, and with the support of Your Highness, all the scholars, merchants, gentry and dignitaries in the entire Ming Dynasty will trust me!"

"At that time, there will be no need for my hotel carrier to look for customers, they will just come to you..."

Zhu Gaochi's face was full of excitement, and he had thought it through in an instant.

"If we follow what the teacher said, the people we recruit to send Dibao will definitely make a lot of money for Dibao."

"Your Highness is wise!"

Guo An praised him and then said again.

"However, there is something that I have to tell His Highness!"

"Teacher, please speak!"

Zhu Gaochi said quickly, and now he was filled with excitement.

Guo An said sternly: "Your Highness, at this rate, there will be several people sending reports of my residence in every state and county in the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, a supervisor must be established. "

Zhu Gaochi looked solemn and nodded slowly.

"What the teacher said is true!"

Guo An added: "In addition, when transporting letters and goods to those merchants and gentry, it is necessary to write down their names and addresses, and to rewrite the serial numbers for each state capital, so that I can report the delivery person to the parcel without knowing it. With the information, you can know where to ship...

Your Highness, at this rate, Bao Di will control the situation of all the gentry, merchants, and scholars in the entire Ming Dynasty. Even the situation of each village will be secretly controlled by my Bao Di! "

"That's how it is?"

Zhu Gaochi suddenly realized something and his eyes widened.

"Teacher, if that's the case, wouldn't it mean that I have control over the responsibilities of the Household Department and the Jin Yiwei?"

"Ok!"

Guo An nodded slowly and then said: "However, your highness, please rest assured that my residence report only controls the names and addresses of the common people, merchants, gentry and dignitaries of the Ming Dynasty, and ignores the rest.

Even, in order to maintain the fairness and privacy of my residence, my residence needs to prohibit people from Jin Yiwei from getting involved! "

Zhu Gaochi thought for a while and then said: "My father should agree to this!"

"That's good!"

Guo An nodded with some relief.

As for Zhu Gaochi, he began to think deeply at this moment.

He finally understood why Guo An formally built the residence and then had to let him, the Ming prince, or his father, take charge of it.

Public opinion, intelligence, and even military power...

Thinking about it, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but feel shocked in his heart.

same.

Zhu Gaochi left Dinghaihou and returned to the palace. After telling Zhu Di about his side job as a newspaper deliveryman, Zhu Di was also shocked.

"We always thought that when we were in Beiping Mansion, your teacher was already considered a great talent.

Unexpectedly, after arriving in the capital, Guo Qing had been secretly planning this matter after asking Ma He and others to lead the fleet to sea! "Knowing astronomy from the top, geography from the bottom, managing the latitude and latitude of the sky, governing the country and ensuring peace, cultivating one's moral integrity and managing the family... How many strategies for governing the country are there in Marquis Dinghai's mind that we don't know about?" "

"Chi'er, in the past when you had nothing to do, you would often go to Dinghaihou to meet your teacher.

Your teacher has always kept a low profile. When we are in Beiping Mansion, we can always follow your teacher and urge him.

And since we ascended the throne, we have no extra time to urge your teacher!

And Guo Qing seems to have been trying his best to protect your position as the prince. As long as you ask, he will definitely tell you everything..."

"..."

Zhu Gaochi's eyes flashed with gratitude, and he quickly responded, "I obey your order!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly.

"As for the report to the residence, just listen to Marquis Dinghai. If you can't find a courier to transport the report and goods, you can go to the Duke of Wei's mansion and find some old soldiers!"

"Thank you, Father!"

Zhu Gaochi was delighted.

"Once the newspaper office grows stronger, the dispatchers under the management of the newspaper office will also be an intelligence network all over the Ming Dynasty. They can monitor the gentry, officials and dignitaries in all states and counties in the Ming Dynasty for me, the Ming Dynasty Emperor..."

As he spoke, Zhu Di stared at Zhu Gaochi closely, "Chi'er, you must pay attention to these delivery people!"

"Yes, Dad!"

Zhu Gaochi was even more excited.

He didn't expect that after reporting to his father, the reporter would have another responsibility, which was intelligence.

In this way, the Bao Di would actually be the greatest power controlled by him, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty!
Even the matter of reporting to the residence and the cabinet he leads are equally important.

……

"A veteran who can drive a carriage and be used as a courier to deliver newspapers and goods? Do you still need to be able to read, read, and do arithmetic?"

In the Duke's Palace of Wei, brothers Xu Huizu, Xu Zengshou and other brothers couldn't help but look surprised after hearing Zhu Gaochi's words.

Immediately, he smiled bitterly and said: "Your Highness, do you know that you may not be able to find ten such old soldiers in a guard?"

"Uncles, I know!"

Zhu Gaochi nodded helplessly and continued: "This kind of veteran is very important to me.

This matter was also ordered by my father...

However, if you can’t find them, I can look for employment from various states and counties in the Ming Dynasty. For each such person, I will give you at least two taels of treasure money every month, or even more..."

"Two taels of treasure money?"

After hearing this, the expressions of Xu Huizu and Xu Zengshou could not help but change slightly.

Then, he said directly.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, we will definitely find a few more veterans like this for Your Highness!"

"I wonder how many your Highness needs?"

Zhu Gaochi said slowly: "According to estimates, each county in the Ming Dynasty now needs two, each state needs three, and each prefecture needs four..."

"hiss……"

Xu Huizu, Xu Zengshou and others couldn't help but take a cold breath and looked at Zhu Gaochi in surprise.

"So, wouldn't it be necessary to have thousands of such people?"

"Exactly!"

Zhu Gaochi nodded helplessly.

Yesterday, after doing the math, he was even more helpless and surprised.

There are enough people to form a guard station!
Xu Huizu and Xu Zengshou looked hard and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, please rest assured, we will definitely find such an old soldier for Your Highness!"

"Thank you uncles for your help!"

After leaving the Duke of Wei's mansion, Zhu Gaochi went to the mansion where Bao's residence was located.
