Chapter 336

In the early morning of July 1, Yuanping 13, the Han Empire

The sun has not yet risen, the sky is dark, and the stars are still hanging high one by one. In the manor at the foot of Longqi Mountain in the south of emperor capital, four carriages with horse lamps have been driving out of the gate of the manor.

"Xiao Wu, be careful on your way. You must deliver your things to the receiving and dispatching point in the city on time. You can't delay the shopkeeper's business, okay?" Xu Enda left Longqi Mountain in four carriages and went to the official road. After a while, the four carriages separated, one towards the west gate, one towards the east gate, and two together. They should enter from the south gate at the same time, and they should not separate until they enter the city.

The carriages waiting to enter the imperial capital early in the morning lined up at the gates of each city. Most of those carriages were coal, firewood, rami and vegetable delivery. A city like the imperial capital became a giant beast swallowing all kinds of living materials every day when people opened their eyes. All kinds of materials needed by millions of people in the imperial capital, It is a huge value. As soon as the city gate is opened every day, all kinds of materials will be sent to the imperial capital. The livelihood of countless people is tied to the goods pulled by carriages and ox carts.

From 5:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m., Mao is in the shape of opening the door, and it also means the sunrise of the sun. At this time, rabbits go out of their nest and run out to eat the grass with dew. Therefore, as soon as Mao arrives, all the city gates of the imperial capital will open the city gate so that the cars and horses lining up outside the city can enter the city.

A few days ago, the assassination of an important official of the imperial court in the imperial capital made the city ban in the imperial capital very harsh. But these days, the heat of the matter slowly passed. All the punishment and arrest sergeants in the imperial capital worked hard for many days, and they didn't get one bird hair, so everyone was tired slowly. The city ban also slowly returned to its former appearance. The vehicles entering the city, And they entered their own cities without being made difficult.

Xu Enda, who was driving the car, didn't notice that shortly after their cars and horses entered the city, a group of carriages also came to the city gate. The carriages also pulled coal, but the coal pulled by the carriage was different from that on other carriages. When they saw the coal pulled by the carriages, a group of sergeants guarding the city gate surrounded them.

"What are you pulling in this car?" A small flag officer curiously poked with the iron fork of the coal truck, "why is this thing round and there are holes in it..."

"Junye, this is coal, lotus root section coal..." a steward of the car got out of the car and explained to the sergeant at the gate of the city.

"How does coal look like this?"

"This is processed with coal. With a special small stove, it is better to burn, use and save money than ordinary coal!"

"Really?" The small flag officer said, directly smashed one of the lotus root knot coals with the iron fork in his hand, and then twisted the cinders inside with his hand. After seeing that there was no problem, he waved his hand, "go over..."

"Thank you, thank you!" The steward waved his hand and a string of carriages pulled carts of lotus root knot coal into the city, leaving a group of sergeants at the gate of the city.

"Brother Niu, this is really strange. I didn't expect that a piece of coal can make so many patterns. I just looked at the lotus root knot coal on the car. I thought it was a batch of black tiles ordered by a big family in the city. I didn't expect it to be burned?" A sergeant guarding the gate came up to the small flag officer and said.

The small flag officer just looked away from the convoy carrying lotus root knot coal and touched his chin. He was thinking that if the lotus root knot coal is really cheap and easy to burn, he can try it this winter, otherwise his family will spend a lot of money for heating and burning coal every winter

Xu Enda's carriage turned East and West, directly came to a street a few miles away from the Nancheng gate, and stopped in front of a closed door shop. Xu Enda immediately got out of the car, took out the key, opened the door lock of a shop on the street, and then all the people moved the newspapers in the car to the shop.

This matter had just been done. After a while, four or five children aged 11 or 12 came to the shop, looked at the piles of newspapers stacked in the shop and listened to Xu Enda's instructions.

"Do you understand what I told you before? Each of you will take 40 of the six copper coins of this newspaper and sell them in the restaurants, teahouses and streets on the side of Nancheng. After selling them, you will return the money for selling the newspaper, and then get the back newspaper. Remember, you can't give the newspaper paper to people until you give money. You can't let people return the newspaper after reading a copper coin, Do you know? "

"I see!" Several teenagers nodded.

"Shout, I'll listen..."

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers. The Han empire times is fresh. If you want to know what's happening in the imperial capital, come and buy it quickly..."

"No, no, the voice is too low. It should be louder. Your family should shout like this when doing business. Where will people come? That's to attract flies..."

Several teenagers were not used to it at the beginning. They couldn't let go one by one, but slowly, they also found a feeling. The voices were getting louder and louder, and they could be heard within tens of meters around.

Seeing that the teenagers were almost there, Xu Enda asked them to wear special red newspaper vest, took the newspaper and went out one by one. These newspaper selling children were introduced by friends or relatives Xu Enda and Hu Haihe, as well as the insurance company. They heard that they had money to earn, at least 20 copper coins a day and a lunch. They didn't work hard, and half of the children were capable. Many people with children in their families couldn't help but feel excited and sent their children to have a try, It's not easy to say that the emperor's capital is big, but it's not easy for half of the children to find a job that can make money Just this morning, as soon as many old and young men in the imperial capital took to the streets or sat in teahouses and restaurants, they found that on the street, even in restaurants and teahouses, there were several more teenagers in red waistcoats shouting, "sell newspapers, sell newspapers, the Great Han empire times has just come out.
