Chapter 184: Private Camp

After Ye Tao and Tan Weixin got married, the guard forces they belonged to were originally one, plus their entourage, documents, assistants, and the financial management group that they would never leave wherever they went. Now there are a small number of "scholars" in the inner palace who have been following Ye Tao. The entire team of their return to Danyang exceeded 1,500, which is considered a large team. Not to mention that there are top-notch experts like Liu Yong, Guan Huan and Bi Xiaoqing in this team.

There are several first-class experts, as well as "Qingxin Sword" Gu Xi, Zhou Rui, and Wu Ping'an... The escort power of the two of them is not weaker than those around Tan Xiaopei. But Tan Xiaopei seemed to think that such power was not enough. As they marched, they instructed the Ministry of War to arrange garrisons from all over the country, and the city defense forces followed them all the way. And along the way, they encountered transport teams in the same direction, and often greeted them and followed them.

These transportation teams are naturally indispensable, FedEx, the most first-class logistics company in this era, but another unique logistics company has added a team of carriages and horses. The name of this new logistics company is "Dunhao Tiandi Express". Basically, this is a logistics company composed of people from Yunzhou, especially young people from the Yunzhou tribe. Originally, they had no idea about this. Hundreds of young people from Yunzhou tribes entered Dongping mainly to ensure the transportation of salt needed in Yunzhou. Then, when some familiar merchants asked them to transport some light things, some of them remembered FedEx... They could actually make money by transporting things and people. Then, with the strong assistance of Tan Weixin and Ye Tao, this carriage with red and bright yellow as the iconic colors began to operate.

The style of DHT Express is completely different from that of FedEx. Although the FedEx network is not spread across the country, it covers at least most of the Dongping area. They are already very familiar with point-to-point transportation, and have an effective way to manage logistics to reduce costs, increase the delivery speed of items, and improve the comfort of passengers' itinerary. But DHT Express is not the case. They only focus on one route, starting from Yicheng, to Danyang, then through Dongjiaji to Thunder Cliff, and then to Ningyuan City. Only around the above nodes are they responsible for delivering goods to households. The passenger transport business is limited to places passing through this road. However.

An unintentional act by those tribal youths made the impression of DHT Express in the minds of those merchants doing business in Yunzhou. It was a merchant's wife who sent some local local products to her husband, so that her husband could have a good festival in a foreign land... a small festival unique to the local area. When DHT Express delivered the east and west to Ningyuan City, she found that the merchant had gone west to Dalun Mountain to go to a market in Beiliao. So several tribal youths exchanged horses but did not change people, and one person and four horses rotated, and finally delivered the east and west the day before the festival. At that time, their location was even in the control area of ​​Beiliao.

The intimate service from DHL Express, which is far away from the service area, is widely circulated in those small and medium-sized business groups, and their business volume has also risen sharply. There is one advantage that FedEx cannot compare with them. That is horses... FedEx is all purchased. Although with the merger of Yunzhou into Dongping, the purchase cost of horses has dropped significantly, compared to those young tribes who returned to the runner wolf once, they could lead several horses. They are not on the same level at all. You must know that those who were sent to Dongping to do things are not poor households in the tribes in Yunzhou. Some of them have horse herds, or even

There are several rich people in the tribe. DHT Express is just a pastime for them to ensure the salt supply in Yunzhou... When DHT Express is carrying out passenger transport, it often tempts passengers on the bus to ride horses to speed up, and those who don't know how to do it are still responsible for the church. This move has become a unique advantage of DHT Express's passenger transport business, attracting a large number of young passengers. Some people even learn riding with these guys who are born on horseback. They ran back and forth in several passenger transport sections. When they get familiar with the young tribes, they can even buy horses at a relatively cheap price.

Under this competitive pressure, without the instigation of Ye Tao and Tan Weixin, FedEx spontaneously shouted the service slogan of "Mission must be achieved" and grasped the delivery rate and delivery speed of the package. This incident was so funny that it was so funny when it reached Ye Tao and Tan Weixin's ears. They hid in the room for almost a day but didn't come out. However, in this era, there is a lack of advertising media and advertising awareness. It seems that there will be no classic print advertisements like putting DHL's packages in FedEx's boxes.

If the establishment of DHL Express is also regarded as private capital to enter the traditional state-run business site, then the original site of the station provides accommodation and other services for travelers seems to be heading in another direction.

Du Fengchi wanted to "contract" the inn-type business of the station belonging to Yunzhou Road and Bridge Corporation at a considerable price, but failed, but gave himself a new identity: the manager of the Road and Bridge Corporation of Yunzhou Jingluofu. He finally obtained the qualification to operate this business, but it was entirely invested by Dongping Neifu, and he was fully responsible for the management responsibilities. He only explained the business situation to the person in charge of the Inner Government. After a one-year buffer period, 20% of the net profit of the station accommodation business in the entire Yunzhou every year belongs to Du Fengchi.

Du Fengchi enjoys complete human rights and financial management rights in the entire business, while the fees incurred by the messengers and officials at the stations of the Dongping court were calculated at 60% of the standard price. Naturally, the travel expense system of officials and messengers also changed accordingly, and it began to refer to the travel expense standard grading system that Ye Tao had originally implemented and improved in the Canal Governor's Office. Naturally, this change is only implemented in Yunzhou for the time being. Whether it will be used in the entire Dongping area in the future depends on the performance of this system in Yunzhou.

State-owned private enterprises... I don't know how Tan Xiaopei came up with this trick, and this happened completely when Tan Weixin was away without giving any instructions. Ye Tao mentioned to Tan Weixin that he had suggested that Du Fengchi try to run a chain inn, and even provided two names for Du Fengchi to refer to: "Home Inn" and "Jinjiang Inn"... However, when Tan Weixin received a letter from her father asking if she could use the investment from the Nei Mansion and let Du Fengchi manage and then distribute dividends from it, everyone was silent. It turned out that when there were various conditions and environments, people's wisdom and imagination were stimulated.

Du Fengchi finally decided to use the name "Home Inn" and rebuilt several stations with the largest passenger flow along the busiest roads in Yunzhou. In this time and space, there is no problem of using existing buildings to renovate and renovate the styles to make the style consistent. Du Fengchi has a simpler solution: to build a completely identical house and yard. In this time and space, there are not many rooms with a few or fewer room numbers, and all rooms in the same location, whether in Ningyuan, Thunder Cliff or Dongjiaji, have exactly the same numbers--

And, the exact same room layout. In fact, the entire Home Inn chain began to make a profit before the second year. Partly because Ye Tao has turned Luqiao into a powerful publicity agency, attracting business travelers and tourists from all over the country to travel to Yunzhou, and also because Du Fengchi, a young man who has been in charge of this type of business since childhood, but has a superb skill in cost management. The agreement between Du Fengchi and the inner government has not changed... This means that in the first year, the inner government made a lot of money in vain.

Of course, private business that seems to be more critical is not a big deal in Dongping. Dongping, a country known for its strong army and sharp ordnance, has tried to hand over the design and manufacturing of a large number of ordnances to private workshops since early on. It has come to this world far earlier than Ye Tao and Tan Weixin. The original and incomplete bidding system ensures the rapid development of Dongping in the technical field. Although there will be problems with the flow of some ordnances, in general, it is more beneficial than disadvantages for Dongping.

When Dongping's manufacturing, business and even service industries began to flourish and developed in various conventional or irregular ways, Dongping did not reduce its ambitions because of its prosperity and wealth. Instead, it became more and more ambitious because of its sharper weapons, stronger and lighter armor, more sufficient war horses and more strict training. Tan Xiaopei was no longer satisfied with unifying the world in a tragic way. He needed to plan, layout, accumulate strength, and make the entire war and subsequent peace as natural as possible... In this process, he needed to constantly examine his ideas about the country, the entire court, politics and military itself. In this inspection, he realized the power of Tan Weixin and Ye Tao, their role, and wanted to know what kind of power they had when they joined forces...
