An auction, everyone was happy, everyone got what they wanted.

The imperial court easily received nearly two million yuan, which was undoubtedly a relief for the imperial court, which had always been financially tight. And because of this, a new type of carriage was opened up, and the new carriage that was made out of the prison was expensive, but its use was honestly limited, and ordinary people could not use it except in the army. Now that such a new way out has been found, a large number of orders will inevitably be obtained. And once the pilot in Wuyi is successful, it will inevitably be vigorously promoted to the outside world.

Now Wuyi is the weather vane of the entire north, and after a thing becomes popular in Wuyi, it will not be long before it will be popular throughout the north and even the world.

If all the cities in the north, and even between cities, use this kind of carriage, such a huge market is enough to make the prison boss Tu Hu wake up in his sleep with a smile.

Moreover, it can be regarded as good governance for ordinary people.

The price of such urban public transportation is set by the imperial court, which is clearly explained in the bidding announcement, and if you want to increase the price, you must first report to the imperial court for approval.

The four companies that won the bid really wanted to use this to achieve the purpose of making money, but only one of them was Tongda Car Dealership, and the rest were all playing their own small abacus.

Boxing Commercial Bank took this opportunity to seize the top spot and became famous all over the world in one fell swoop. The headline on the front page of Datang Weekly, the sky-high price of 600,000 yuan shows their commercial strength. Even though they were a trading company with Khitans as the main body, they also entered the mainstream society of Wuyi in one fell swoop.

Now everyone knows that if they reach this commercial ship, the money will be very bright.

All of a sudden, in Wuyi, the people of Boxing Trading Company became fragrant and sweet, and the banquet invitations continued.

The Liu family in Hedong and the Chen family in Hezhong can be regarded as taking this opportunity to return to everyone's sight, at least, they can appear openly in Wuyi. Just because Li Ze entertained them with a grand banquet after they won the bid, and the news appeared in the Datang Weekly, which made them feel that the hundreds of thousands of dollars were worth it.

They succeeded in making it clear to the guys who had previously shunned them that Lee was not a bad friend to them, and that it was incredibly important for their return. If you want everyone to re-accept them, Lee Sang's attitude is crucial.

What's more, no matter how well the bus lines they photographed end up operating, they're always worth some money. Even if you don't make money, you have to keep doing it.

Tongda Commercial Bank really wanted to do this thing well, so after winning the bid, when several other companies were still calling friends, Qi Heng and the others were already in a hurry to order ten such carriages from the general as a prisoner.

The prison will be in stock.

Qi Heng and the others ran out of money.

Of course, they also succeeded in applying to the superintendent for credit for the money, and they did not ask for interest. The new second boss seems to have hands and eyes, which makes Qi Heng happy and worried. The good news is that there seems to be someone on the top of the new major shareholder, which greatly makes up for their previous shortcomings, although Tang Ji is also an upstart in the officialdom, but he is far away in the Western Regions, so he can't influence here. The worry is that if the major shareholder is too strong, he is afraid that his group of people will not be able to maintain their position in Tongda, and then there is a possibility of losing Tongda. But now, I can only take one step at a time.

The West Line of the Outer City was officially opened on the third day after winning the bid. Get on the bus for two pennies, and you can sit from beginning to end. Of course, the west line of the outer city is in the whole Wuyi City, which belongs to the middle and low-income people concentrated in the place, the carriage here is still not a small difference from the carriage running the inner city, in addition to the main components of a lot, the interior furnishings are very different. Basically, it is a hard board sitting, a carriage and the like, three large benches go to the end, and thirty people can be stuffed in at one time, of course, if you squeeze it, forty people can also sit down.

Tongda did something that Li Ze also admired, that is, they actually opened a special car for female passengers, which was painted pink, and men were not allowed to get on this train.

You must know that although the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty is open, there are still many inconveniences for men and women to sit together in a carriage like this, and if this problem is not solved, women will never go into such a carriage.

What Li Ze didn't know was that it wasn't that Qi Heng and the others had any thoughts of serving women, but that they felt that they had paid a huge price, and they had to think of ways to earn the money back. After a day of running, they found that not a single woman got into such a car, and everyone was still measuring the street with their feet, and after thinking about it, they understood. This, of course, is intolerable for them.

After all, in the current Tang Dynasty, even in a place like Wuyi, there are many women who work outside, do things and even become officials, and there is a female scholar in the imperial court, where is a female general to set an example, and women are not ashamed to come out to do things. And on the western route of the outer city ring, there are more women who come out to do things, not much less than men, if these people can't make money, it is equivalent to half of the money, how can this work? Newcastle

So, there is this pink public carriage specially opened for women, although pink is a little cheesy, but for these former big and rough people, it is already remarkable to do this.

With such an example of Tongda in front, the three lines that have been opened one after another have naturally had to follow suit and set up a special women's bus carriage.

The grade of the buses on the horse-drawn bus line around the inner city is completely different.

On top of a carriage, only twenty people can be seated, and each seat is independent, and it is all upholstered, with backrests, armrests, and under the seat, there is a box that can be pulled out for everyone to put some of their personal belongings. The floor underfoot is polished and the interior of the car is carefully decorated. Even the exterior of the carriage was made in a very different way from the carriages that ran out of the city, and there were many things that were useless at all, but they were not very useful.

Naturally, such carriages are also much more expensive than those in the outer cities.

The fare for such a carriage is also much more expensive, ten cents per trip, which is five times that of the outer city.

After Li Ze took his wife and children on a personal ride and ran around the inner city, it became fashionable to travel around the inner city of Wuyi in such a carriage.

The current inner city of Wuyi has long since lost its original appearance, and on this route, you can see all the imperial court yamen, including the emperor's palace under construction. It is the mansion of Li Xiang's family, and you can also run around it to have a good view.

As the political and cultural center of the entire Northland, it will soon become a fashion for people from other places to visit the inner city of Wuyi in such a carriage.

I'm afraid Li Ze didn't expect that the opening of such a bus and horse-drawn carriage would destroy the great development of the tourism industry.

A new yamen was born. The Department of Public Transport Management, temporarily under the management of the Ministry of Industry. This is the result of Guo Fengxiao's persistent struggle against the household Shangshu Xia He. But any business that can make money, and the money is estimated to be very broad, Xia He wants to keep it in the hands of the household.

But Guo Fengxiao believes that this time the idea of the public carriage was first put forward by the Ministry of Industry, and it involves transportation, not only Wuyi, but also the whole world, like the income of this piece, should be given priority to the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Industry will coordinate the operation, improve transportation, build roads, and run more such lines.

In the end, Guo Fengxiao won Li Ze's support and grabbed the right to manage.

And this also made many officials in Wuyi look at Guo Fengxiao with admiration, you know, it is not possible for anyone to snatch this business from the calculating iron abacus, the iron hen Xia He Xia Shangshu. It's not like no one has done this before, and it's all ended in failure. And this time, Guo Fengxiao won the final victory by relying on a national transportation improvement plan that was hundreds of pages thick.

After serving in Texas for many years, and turning Texas City from nothing to the current industrial center of the entire north, Guo Fengxiao's work habits and experience in not fighting unprepared battles allowed him to successfully take the lead.

After reading Guo Fengxiao's plan, Xia He had nothing to say. Because the household department is still blank on this road.

Chen Wenliang, the secretary of the secretary and supervisor, entered Li Ze's office with a few official documents, he was the secretary of the secretary and supervisor who specialized in dealing with the Ministry of Works. According to the work process of the secretary and supervisor, these official documents submitted by the Ministry of Industry were first screened by him, and then sent to Gongsun Changming for review, and Gongsun Changming decided that those that needed to be sent to Li Ze for approval, and those secretaries and supervisors could directly approve them. Then he presented these things that needed to be played to Li Ze.

In Li Ze's image, this Chen Wenliang used to always have two dark circles under his eyes, and he always thought that he was born like this, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.

"Wen Liang didn't encounter any happy event? During this time, the spirit is very unusual! Li Ze asked with a smile.

"Li Xiang, this public carriage has been opened, and the lower official is happy in his heart!" Chen Wenliang said happily: "Now, every day, Xia Guan can finally sleep well." ”

"Ah, why is that?" Li Ze asked in surprise: "You have been wearing two dark circles under your eyes before, could it be because you haven't slept well?" ”

"Xiaguan lives in the outer city!" Chen Wenliang explained with a smile: "And because Xiaguan's family was poor and the burden was heavy, the house he bought was still on the edge of the outer city. Don't hide it from Li Xiang, the family can't even afford to raise a horse. ”
