The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 130 Tit for Tat ([-])

At the beginning of Mao, many people were still asleep.However, a courtyard in Xiawazi was already busy.

Ning'er and Nan'er were already fully dressed, and they were directing a group of people, leading horses, leading horses, and harnessing carts.

Brand-new carriages were lined up. This was the carriage that Jia Min asked Feng Ziying to draw from the long-distance carriage project in Tongzhou.

These carriages are quite different from other carriages.They are all canopy.On the hood and body of the car, the words "Ronguofu Bus" are also printed in large characters.

On the left and right sides of the car body, a piece of paper was pasted, with the words "free for three days, please experience" in eight characters.

Each car is equipped with two people, one is the car owner who drives the car, and the other is the driver who pays the fee.Although there is no charge these days, people have to be matched, and what is needed is this scene and style.

The car bosses all wear uniform clothes, and the drivers also wear uniform clothes, but the colors and styles are different.

After tidying up, Ning'er and Nan'er had a few conversations, and then they got on their horses and went first, followed by the carriages behind.After a short distance, he got on the pipeline and headed for the city.

Now, the house behind them is the stop of Rongguofu bus.After cruising around the city during the day, I will return here to stay at night. I will depart from here tomorrow morning and repeat today's process.

From this moment on, Rongguo Mansion's bus and horse-drawn carriage project officially started.

At the gate of the city, Ning'er and Nan'er met Feng Ziying, Chen Yejun, and Wei Ruolan who were already waiting here, and there was another person, although he didn't expect to appear here, but he was also an acquaintance, that is, Wucheng Bingmasi The deputy commander was Qiu Liang.

After talking for a few words, the carriage continued to drive towards the city, while Ning'er and Nan'er rode horses to post advertisements in the streets and alleys.

The content of the advertisement was naturally the news that Rongguo Mansion bus carriages were officially launched.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the carriages separated and headed to their respective routes.The route has been surveyed in advance in the past few days. The owner and the driver have also received a short training from Jia Min in the past few days. They know what they should do.

In fact, even if you don't know what to do, it doesn't matter, but you always have to look good.

Feng Ziying and others drove towards Chongwenmen together.Their mission today is to wait there for the arrival of the Admiral of the Nine Gates and the Governor of Shuntian Prefecture.

At this time, Chongwenmen was known as the place where the world's goods were collected and distributed.The goods of the Grand Canal are disembarked in Tongzhou, transported here by land, and then scattered to various places from here.

Here is also the starting station of No. 1 bus carriage.

In front of a house at the intersection, Feng Ziying and others got off their horses and entered the house.

They bought this house as a business station for long-distance carriages here.It has already been packed.

After a few people sat down, a guy came up to make tea, and then chatted.

"This errand, after all, fell on Brother Min's head. As soon as I heard that the imperial decree was issued, I knew that this matter must belong to Brother Min, and it is indeed the case now."

Qiu Liang was not only a little emotional.

"There is really no one in Jia's mansion who can take on this heavy responsibility. Fortunately, brother Min didn't leave. If he had left, Jia's mansion would have been caught blind by now."

Now Chen Yejun is almost full of admiration for Jia Min.

"It's just that this errand is not so easy to handle. I've heard many people say that this business, no matter how you do it, will lose money. Of course I know Brother Min's ability, but this one I'm afraid he's going to miscalculate. Even if he has the ability, it's just a little less compensation."

Qiu Liang and Niu Jizong also had contacts, and they were no strangers to the matter of buses and carriages.

"Aren't we also worried about Brother Min? However, I also believe that Brother Min naturally has a solution."

Feng Ziying is very confident.

Although Jia Min hasn't told him his detailed thoughts yet, he believes that Jia Min will find a way.

"Brother Min certainly has a way, but I'm afraid we won't be able to pass today's test. The admiral of the Nine Gates and Shuntian Fuyin are not easy to get along with."

Qiu Liang was still worried.

"Since Brother Min made such an arrangement, he must have been prepared. I saw him like that yesterday, and he was confident. Since Brother Min is not worried, if we worry about it, it will be a bit redundant."

As we talked, it gradually came to Chenshi.I saw a group of people coming here from a distance.

Gradually walked in, and it turned out to be the Admiral of the Nine Gates and the Governor of Shuntian, followed by a team of followers such as the master.

Feng Ziying and others went out of the house to meet them.

"Where's your carriage?"

Fu Yin asked Feng Ziying unceremoniously.

"Reporting to my lord, the carriages are all online. From today onwards, free rewards will be offered for three consecutive days."

Feng Ziying replied neither humble nor overbearing.

His father was General Shenwei, and he himself was a nobleman, so he was not afraid of the questioning of Shuntian Fu Yin.Just answering according to Jia Min's explanation.

"What line is it on? The official has sent someone to check it a long time ago. There is only one carriage on one line, and there are only six carriages in total. This is called resuming operations?"

"Jia Min will handle this matter, and I'm just here to help. I don't know the details."

"Since you don't know, ask Jia Min to answer."

"Jia Min is no longer here."

"If it's not here, where is it?"

The admiral of the Nine Gates, Liu Changfeng, already had an ugly expression on his face, so he interrupted directly.

He was quite happy to hear Shuntian Fu Yin tell him yesterday that the bus and carriages resumed operation today.Therefore, even though it was the Mid-Autumn Festival today, he still came out in person, intending to check it out, and report to the emperor when the holidays are over and he goes to court again.

Unexpectedly, the so-called resumption of operations turned out to be like this.

There is only one carriage on a route.Adding up the six lines, there are only six sets.It turned out that the scale of Niu Jizong's operation was 20 horse-drawn carriages for a line, a total of 120 carriages. Now only six carriages are on the line, which is less than [-]% of the original and only half of the original.

This is obviously a fool's errand, perfunctory.

How can he deal with the emperor?
"Jia Min said that if your lord wants to find him, he will wait for you at Jia's mansion."

"You mean, tell me to go there to meet him?"

The muscles at the corners of Liu Changfeng's mouth were already trembling.

"I'm just passing on a message. Jia Min said that if your lord is dissatisfied with the resumption of operations, you can go to him to see the imperial decree."

Now, Liu Changfeng stopped talking.

In normal times, he would not condescend to go to Jia's mansion to meet Jia Min.If Jia Min is disobedient, the worst thing is to have him detained.

Although Jia's mansion is also a noble family, Liu Changfeng is not afraid.

However, now that Jia Min has brought out the imperial decree, it is difficult for him to force it.Now that Feng Ziying has told the imperial decree to Jia Min in front of everyone, if he asks Jia Min to come here again, it will be the imperial decree to come here to see him.

If no one understands this matter, or if no one pursues it, it is not a big deal.However, if someone intends to make a fuss about this matter, or asks a censor who dislikes him to follow him, he can also be charged with disrespect.

The reason why the job of the bus and carriage fell to Jia's house was the result of his accounting with Luo Hanlin.Of course, he is clear about the emperor's decree.

However, the imperial decree was directly issued to the Rongguo Mansion, and he had never seen it with his own eyes.Now that the Jia Mansion has taken over this task, the meaning of the imperial decree is naturally clear.

However, since Jia Min is so confident, did the emperor make a new order?
Liu Changfeng began to waver.

"Since the sacred order is Rongguo Mansion, I will go there. Let's go to Rongguo Mansion!"

When Liu Changfeng went to see Jia Min, he had no choice but to find a way out for himself.Since he was going to browse the imperial decree, he didn't lose any face.

Everyone rode on horses, and there were entourages leading the way in front of them. They soon arrived at Rongguo Mansion, entered directly through the east gate, and arrived at the East Flower Hall, where Jia Min was already waiting.

"Jia Min, since you have accepted the imperial decree, why don't you do your job properly and fool the emperor's job like this?"

As soon as they met, Liu Changfeng was all over his face, and a big hat was easily buckled off.

"Master Liu, why are you so angry?"

Jia Min asked calmly, with an innocent look on his face.

This trickster, at this time, he is still pretending to be stupid.

Shuntian Fu Yin said in his heart.

However, since Mr. Liu rushed up by himself, he couldn't say anything more, so he was happy to watch the fun from the sidelines.

He has always been at odds with Liu Changfeng on weekdays, and he is happy to see Liu Changfeng make a fool of himself today.

"Jia Min, don't pretend to be stupid with me. I have seen many people, and I can't rub the sand in my eyes. If you make an agreement today, we still have something to discuss. If you don't agree, hehe, don't Blame me for being rude."

"Lord Liu, what is your purpose in coming here? Why did you come and threaten me as soon as we met? Is this your way of being an official? Is this how you do things for the emperor?"

Jia Min suddenly shouted loudly.

Ok?What's going on, this style of painting is wrong.A kid, actually came here to reprimand a senior member of the second rank?
What's happening here?When did the world become like this?
"you……?"

How could Liu Changfeng have thought that such a situation would happen.For many years, no one dared to talk to him like this.

He even choked for a moment, unable to speak.

However, even if he could speak at this time, Jia Min would not give him a chance.Now, Jia Min is going to seize the right to speak.

"Although I am young, I am also on a mission. You despise me so much, do you mean to despise the emperor?"

Oh, this big hat is not too small.

"Liu Changfeng, the admiral of the Nine Gates, and Yin Xiutong of the Shuntian Mansion. Why don't you kneel down for this decree?"

Scratching the ground, Jia Min took out the imperial decree from his bosom.
