Chapter 157 The man who fought the train
Chapter 157: The person who fights the train
The train is something that Yun Zhao truly possessed after he arrived in the Ming Dynasty.
This is why his emotions have changed so much.
This thing is also the closest thing to his life. With the train, Yun Zhao felt that he seemed to be a big step closer to his world.
He really hoped that the train would bring the Ming Dynasty into a new era.
He must hide this thought and cannot tell anyone that even with the money, Yun Zhao is ready to say nothing.
Men are actually complex animals. At least, no man can be absolutely honest in terms of being honest.
So after returning to Yushan City, Yun Zhao returned to his former appearance.
Now, he can't do much. If a Ming Dynasty with a lot of holes wants to recover completely, it will not be possible for ten years.
Although Xia Wanchun didn't understand where the master was concerned, he still faithfully implemented the order issued by the master, both train freight and bus tickets were reduced by half at the same time.
The direct consequence of this is that the newly built railway began to run day and night, not only that, but the locomotive running on the railway has also doubled.
At this time, Xia Wanchun suddenly discovered that the wired telegram that the master had been working on had finally come into play, at least it played a big role in the formation of the railway.
In particular, it plays a greater role in real-time monitoring of the locomotive position.
With this thing, I don’t worry about accidents when several locomotives are running on the same railway at the same time.
Even if a certain locomotive fails, you can still stop the train behind in advance.
Now he is the magistrate of Lantian County, so he naturally would not pay attention to improving the cable telegram in person. After entrusting the project to Yushan Research Institute, he began to examine the impact of the reduction in railway freight costs on the national economy and people's livelihood.
Especially to monitor places where civil unrest may occur.
A carriage ride for thousands of miles!
This is the largest carriage shop in Lantian County and the oldest carriage shop. They are not only responsible for helping customers transport goods and people, but also accepting business from the escort agency. There are 2,000 carriages in the entire carriage shop, and more than 3,000 people rely on carriage shops for dinner. It is an existence that cannot be ignored in Lantian County.
Lantian County is prosperous in business, so naturally it is impossible that there is only one such carriage shop. If all carriage shops of all sizes are included, the number of people who eat this bite will exceed 10,000.
Then count Chang'an, Yushan and Fenghuang Mountain City, and the number of people is even greater.
Since the railway construction began, Xia Wanchun has been looking for Zhao Wanli, the shopkeeper of Wanli Carriage, and told him in detail the impact of the railway repair on their carriage after it was repaired. He also told Zhao Wanli bluntly that building railways is a national event and it is impossible for them to stop building them for the livelihood of their people.
At that time, Zhao Wanli was very disdainful of the railway. He thought that running on the railway was a very unreliable thing. Merchants would naturally choose a reliable business like their carriage business.
Now, after the train was opened, Zhao Wanli never expected that those merchants who had dealt with him for many years would fall into the arms of the railway immediately and abandon him, his old man, ruthlessly.
After Zhao Wanli, who was dissatisfied, took the train once and saw the locomotive dragging millions of kilograms of goods on the railway at a fast speed, he felt that the situation was hopeless.
As for the current situation, after the carriage is facing the train, there is no chance of winning.
He suddenly remembered that Lantian County Zun once told him about changing careers in the carriage business, and it was too late to regret it at this time.
Zhao Wanli has experienced troubled times. Even in troubled times, the Wanli carriage business is well-known. Except for being robbed several times in Shaohua Mountain, the goods they are responsible for have never been lost.
When Zhao Wanli was in full swing, even the giant bandits such as Li Hongji, Zhang Bingzhong had to give him some face.
It was not that he had thought that his business would be in danger. After Lantian Yun took office, he did not attack him. On the contrary, because of the prosperity of Guanzhong's business, the Wanli Horse Carriage achieved unprecedented expansion.
He also knew that the group of Yun's old thieves robbed his goods were actually those who were old thieves.
After learning this secret, Zhao Wanli hid the secret in his heart, and did not say anything to anyone, and admitted these losses.
He considered all the enemies and believed that the carriage was as stable as Mount Tai, and that this business could be carried out for a long time, but he never expected that the train would defeat him.
The train has been running for more than a month. In the areas of Chang'an, Lantian, Yushan and Fenghuangshan, the horse and carriage shop has not received a decent big business except for receiving a few small orders.
What Zhao Wanli couldn't tolerate the most was that the most profitable passenger carrying business fell to the bottom.
Looking at the corpses sitting under the eaves and looking at him, Zhao Wanli sighed—There is no need for corpses to transport goods by train...
“There is no way out.”
After confirming this reality, Zhao Wanli ordered the accountant in the car shop to pay the wages and dismiss the guys!
He took out the money after emptiing his family's assets. Zhao Wanli has been generous all his life and does not want to be stabbed by others when he is frustrated.
In any case, we must leave a chance for our children and grandchildren to make a comeback.
In Guanzhong, his reputation became so bad that he really lost nothing.
After the coachmen quietly got their wages from the account, they left quickly. They could no longer be the whip of the horse-drawn carriage business. They could still find work to drive carriages for others in Xi'an, Lantian, Yushan and Phoenix Mountain City.
After all, there are so many people on the train that the relatives of some wealthy families are not willing to show up in public.
They can finally find a way to make a living.
The guys were gone, the coachmen were gone, and even the escorts were gone.
Zhao Wanli expected some people to stay. When the accountant handed over the empty cash counter key to him, Zhao Wanli realized that none of the brothers who were loyal to each other was willing to stay.
Only dense carriages and large animals in the horse shed were left in the carriage.
Soon, these things will no longer belong to him, Zhao Wanli, because when he was expanding the carriage business, he raised his debts and the interest rate was very high...
Sitting alone on the threshold, Zhao Wanli shivered, lit a cigarette, and waited for the creditor's arrival in despair.
Zhao Wanli was a man, and he ran away without the money left in the car shop.
Instead, after paying off all the debts, I took my family back to the countryside. At least, there were some food fields at home that no one could take away.
The creditors came at the agreed time, and Zhao Wanli was not in the mood to say something more. He just politely invited others in, and then... he had nothing to do.
The first two said that they heard the train whistle and signaled him to leave. He seemed to have not heard it, and he rushed towards the train with a knife on his back with a plaque on his back.
My little husband, there are thousands of people behind the train and cargo weighing millions of pounds. It can be stopped if you say it.
