With the manpower, Hong Tao doesn't care about the work of building roads, this thing can't be in a hurry. But there is one thing that must be on the agenda, because without it, the road still cannot function at its fullest.

This thing was originally in the Song Dynasty, and it was done well, but Hong Tao was not satisfied. He wanted to improve and improve to cope with the more convenient transportation in the future, that is, the delivery of letters, or the post station.

Post stations have existed since ancient times, and are generally called post posts, post stations, and museum posts. In the Northern Song Dynasty, the post station was refined and divided into two kinds of institutions. One is called the pavilion, which is specially responsible for receiving officials and tolerances, and is undertaken by the private sector and managed by the government, a bit like the provincial and municipal overseas offices in later generations.

The other is called the delivery shop, which is responsible for the transmission of official documents, which is managed by the army, most of which are box servants, and there will also be forbidden troops in the main links. Moreover, the delivery shop is not limited to roads with post stations, and many roads without post stations will also have delivery shops.

This is very evident in Yongxing Military Road, Qinfeng Road and Xihe Road. Due to the need to transmit the military reports in front and the orders in the rear in a timely manner, there will be handshops on even the most rugged roads, and sometimes they will become part of the walled fort.

The post stations are usually managed by the local government, but the delivery shops are under the direct jurisdiction of the central government. Its immediate superiors are the Commander's Department and the Privy Council, and are usually run by the Lifter Horse Shop along the way.

At the state level, there will also be a patrol and subordinate envoy to manage the post station and delivery work of a state or a prefecture.

Generally speaking, the Northern Song Dynasty still attaches great importance to the communication system, and no matter how short of horses there is, it will not lose the delivery shop, in addition to the best war horses, the quality of the horses is also very good. In order to ensure the timely delivery of documents, the imperial court also set up a law specifically for the delivery shop, with rewards, punishments and crimes, which is very fine.

But no matter how much attention is paid to it, post stations and delivery shops are only for the government, and the people cannot use them at all. The emperor's gold medal is delivered by the delivery shop, which is equivalent to the military line of later generations.

What if ordinary people want to send a letter or bring something to their relatives and friends in a distant country? There is really no special agency or business group responsible for this matter, so they can only entrust people or caravans to transfer on their behalf, which not only has no time and safety guarantees, but also has a particularly poor efficiency.

Of course, the ancients did not have much range of activities, and most people could not walk out of the area within a radius of 100 miles in their lifetime.

However, the postal system is very important for business activities, with which it can shorten transaction times and increase transaction opportunities. Hong Tao did not hesitate to spend money to build roads, in order to promote commercial circulation. Since the purpose is the same, why not build the mail system, which is a good thing that complements each other.

Can I get the emperor's permission to run my own delivery shop? The answer doesn't need to be asked, it definitely can't. In this way, it is equivalent to weakening the power of the Privy Council and the Ministry of War, and the delivery shop bears a lot of responsibility.

Hong Tao definitely didn't plan to carry it, so he didn't want to get a delivery shop at all, but planned to establish a private postal system, which was specifically responsible for transmitting information and piggybacking on some small items to merchants and people, and did not interfere in the affairs of the Northern Song Dynasty military.

This system is completely undertaken by the people, so there is no need to report to the imperial court, and he has the right to approve the affairs of Huangzhou, or he does not need the approval of the government at all, and he is also very skilled in selling dog meat on the head of a sheep.

What to use as a sheep's head, Hong Tao pondered for several days and finally thought of a very suitable and necessary industry, that is, the dart game!

The Song Dynasty definitely didn't have this kind of industry, when Fu Ji first went to the border to sell goods, he could only find veterans as bodyguards through personal connections, if there was a dart bureau, why did he spend so much effort.

Why there is no Hong Tao is not clear, and there is no need to be clear, because Wang Hao said that as long as there is really a dart game open, he must be the first to try.

Spending some money is nothing, as long as the goods can be delivered to the destination safely and in a timely manner, it is much easier than hiring someone to take care of food and drink and suffer from a trip, and the cost is not necessarily high.

"The loss of goods can also be compensated! The villain dared to ask, is this dart game run by adults? Can the villain also get a part of it......"

When he heard that not only the goods and letters were delivered, but also the losses could be compensated after they were lost, Wang Hao's little eyes began to roll, and he quickly thought of a possibility.

Dare to say such a big thing, there seems to be no other possibility except Lord Shuaisi, and then he thought of a possibility, why not make a fortune with Lord Shuaiji? Doing business with Lord Shuaiji, I don't think I've heard of losing money.

"Must ...... No! "Sometimes there are disadvantages to chatting with smart people, but it's not easy to fool, Hong Tao denied Wang Hao's speculation in a straight voice.

"The villain understands...... The villain understands...... That can be done by the villain? "But sometimes, it's very comfortable to talk to smart people. The drum didn't need a heavy hammer, Wang Hao immediately read a certain possibility from Hong Tao's tone and expression, and tested it in time.

"Your Wang family originally took the waterway, and there is no need to change careers to transport goods and deliver letters. Wang Guan has a convoy between Weiqiao Town and Huangzhou and Liangzhou, which is indeed convenient......" Hong Tao touched his chin thoughtfully, but unfortunately he didn't have a beard to pull, and he couldn't think about it thoughtfully.

"Adults may wish to make a charter first, and villains will agree to it one by one. The Wang family will naturally not forget the grace of the adults, and the dart game will be based on the heads of the adults and horses......"

In fact, Wang Hao doesn't need to have a beard to understand the meaning of this action, this is to talk about conditions. In fact, he hopes to talk about the conditions the most, the things given for free are often not valuable, and the more harsh the conditions, the more valuable they are.

But what are the conditions of Lord Shuaiji? This cannot be asked directly, and it is possible that you will not get a clear answer if you ask. There are some things that cannot be said if you are capable, especially when talking about conditions with officials, and you have to grasp the proportions yourself.

It is recognized that Shuaiji is not short of money. Lord Shuai Si is not short of power, even if he lacks himself, he can't give it. So what's missing? The answer is imminent, there is a lack of people! Someone who can be driven!

"Hey, hey, hey, my uncle is really shrewd. In that case, the official will talk about the charter, but as long as the official opens his mouth, this matter cannot be repented, should he think about it again? ”

Hong Tao thought about it again, and the only person who is suitable for opening a dart game is Wang Hao. He is particularly civilian, and his family business is far away from the center of the imperial court, so he is not very affected by the forces within the imperial court.

He also had to cooperate, refining bile copper and producing gas lamps had become his family's biggest sideline, and they would have to build ships and go to sea together in the future, and the grain from Huangzhou was transported through his family's sea boats, and his nephew was still so closely connected with him.

In any way, the Wang family can't cut a clean slate with himself, in other words, his Wang family has been tied to a rope with himself, and he has both glory and loss.

He is also very shrewd, can draw inferences from one another, and has the ability to lead the way, so as not to say that he will have to take care of the business of the dart game in the future.

The biggest advantage is his identity, businessman. For a dart board to do business, the first customers must and can only be merchants. For his own interests, he didn't have to fool around to advertise the dart game everywhere along the way, as well as his old customers and friends.

But it's not just about making money, it's about the postal system. On the surface, it is an organization that provides services to businesses and people, but at heart it is an intelligence gathering and communication network.

I can't always be stupid and nest in the northwest as a watchdog, or a vicious dog that my grandmother doesn't love and my uncle doesn't love, the whole court is full of enemies, and someone comes to ponder and murder in three days.

In this case, it is necessary to establish a set of forces that are unknown to the people, and even the emperor has to hide from them. While using it as your own eyeliner, you can explore the situation in various places in case you need it.

But this set of things can't completely hide the actual manager of the dart bureau, if Wang Hao wants to do this, he must know that there is such a group of people around him. I don't know what this group of people are doing, but I have to have a score in my heart.
