The Night Watchman of Another World: I know a lot of things

"Brother Yang Qing, this business relationship may be different from what you think.

Think about it, the circulation of goods between cities is not that easy.

In today's world, evil spirits are everywhere at night.

If it's in a town, it's better because there will be night watchmen to clear it out every night so nothing will accumulate. Even if there are evil spirits, there will be some limit.

But the world outside the city walls is completely different. No one knows how many evil spirits are left in that darkness.

They may even evolve into a group of evil beasts led by a high-level evil spirit if they survive long enough.

In this situation, staying in the wilderness without any protection is simply seeking death, don't you think? "

Yang Qing nodded when he heard this. He had heard Xing Hu talk about the harsh environment outside the city.

“So, we all hope to set out early in the morning and arrive in the evening, and we must reach a place to stay before dark.

For example, Baisha Prefecture is more than 300 miles away from us. If we ride a horse, we can set out in the morning and arrive in the evening if we are fast.

However, the amount of materials that can be transported by horseback alone is limited. Under normal circumstances, it is no more than a hundred pounds. But although it is safe, the efficiency is too low.

But if we rely on horse-drawn carriages and human escort, it will take at least two to three days to travel the three hundred miles.

During this time, we will have to spend at least one or two nights in the wilderness.”

Yang Qing sat up straight when he heard that. He could imagine how difficult it was for ordinary people to stay overnight in the wilderness.

"Then how do you survive a night like this?"

"bunker!"

"bunker?"

“Well, to put it simply, it means building an underground fortress in a suitable location that can supply supplies and provide a place to rest.

Of course, the prerequisite is that the place must be safe enough, that is, it must be well concealed, solid, large in area, and heavily guarded.

I remember that my Xu family built more than a dozen such bunkers. There were hundreds of thugs and servants stationed in the bunkers on a daily basis. The cost of maintaining and supplying these bunkers every month was a huge expense.

However, although the expenses of this bunker are high, the profits are also high.

The golden body talismans from Sanyan Temple in Yongzhou Prefecture only cost 40 taels each, but when they were transported to Baisha Prefecture, each one cost 100 taels.

Then they would exchange their weapons for fine steel swords from Baisha Prefecture and transport them to the Miao village in western Hunan, where they would be equipped with their specialty cinnabar ore and herbs.

Then we will go back to Yongzhou Prefecture. This trip will definitely bring us seven or eight times the profit.”

"That's really a profit, so why has it become like this now?"

"Hehe, human nature is always scarier than evil spirits. How could there be no one who wouldn't be jealous of such a way of making money?

Back then, my grandfather had a very good relationship with the abbot of Sanyan Temple in Yongzhou Prefecture, and his family had also cultivated a considerable force, so no one dared to touch our Xu family.

But ever since my grandfather passed away, we had less contact with the Sanyan Temple, and then my Xu family began to encounter all kinds of misfortunes.

First, during several important transportation trips of my Xu family, the caravans were attacked. Not only did our family suffer heavy losses in terms of military force, but all the goods we were transporting were also lost.

Then the bunkers scattered outside began to be taken down one by one by unknown forces, and for a while they were unable to focus on one thing while neglecting another.

After suffering several heavy losses in succession, my Xu family began to decline rapidly, and it has continued to decline until now."

Xu Caikun sighed and continued.

"This also led to the decline of my Xu family. Now we only have a bunker in the direction of Baishafu, and we can only sell agricultural and sideline products.

Now, the right to speak on trade routes between cities is controlled by various aristocratic families or gangs.

Forces like the Yan family in the south of the city, the Lin family in the north of the city, and the Yingfeng Gang behind the Doujin Casino are all forces that control many resource routes.

And the Haisha Gang also controls more than half of the fishing boats in Hengzhou Prefecture.

Now most of the foreign materials in our entire Hengzhou Prefecture are transported in by these forces.

Of course, if you want to make a little money by transporting some goods, no one will care as long as it does not affect the market environment. "

When Xu Caikun said these things to Yang Qing, he originally had no intention of telling Yang Qing how to make money.

He did not think that Yang Qing had the ability to pursue a career in transportation. He just wanted to tell Yang Qing about the way their Xu family made money.

After all, this road requires too many conditions, including manpower, goods, routes, bunkers, etc.

The investment in these things is not small. Although the profits are extremely high, if a mistake is made, the losses will also be quite large.

However, Yang Qing took Xu Caikun's words to heart, especially the fact that the profit could at least double in one go, which was much faster than making money by robbery.

With his own flying skill on the grass, combined with the gliding speed of Soul Soldier Zishen's ice skates, I believe it should be faster than the speed of a horse.

Even if you practice more on your own, your speed should be able to increase a lot.

In this way, if I take the goods with me and set out from Hengzhou Prefecture in the morning, I should be able to reach Baisha Prefecture in the afternoon. As long as there is someone to pick me up there and I can drop the goods off and rush back in time, I should be able to appear in Hengzhou Prefecture in the evening.

Isn’t this logistics? It seems like something that can be done, Yang Qing touched his chin and thought to himself.

You know, even in the world before he traveled through time, logistics was an extremely profitable business.

To achieve this, several prerequisites must be met.

The first one is the selection of goods and the supply channels.

As long as you choose the right goods, it doesn't seem too difficult to earn a few hundred or even a thousand taels in a day.

I should be able to ask this little fat guy in front of me for help in the future. I believe that with the connections in this guy's family, he should be able to help me.

The second thing is to find someone in Baisha Prefecture or other provincial capitals who can accept your goods, which is more troublesome.

After all, Xu Caikun also said that there are regulations on which forces transport which goods. If you rush in rashly, you will definitely be blocked by the corresponding forces.

However, this involves issues of interests and force. As long as you are willing to think about it, there will always be a solution.

There is also the issue of carrying items. With Yang Qing's current physical strength, carrying a hundred or eighty kilograms of things will not affect his speed at all.

But objects all have volume. If you rely solely on your back or shoulders, there will always be a limit to what you can carry.

The best way is to ask someone if there are any props that can help you carry your belongings.

It would be best if it was like a storage ring or storage bag in novels, which could carry a lot of supplies but still leave you empty-handed, which is extremely convenient.

The last one is the issue of identity. Yang Qing is just a night watchman at the moment, which strictly speaking is a semi-slave status.

Although the Hengzhou government showed mercy and did not require the night watchman to have a tattoo on his face as a mark, his household registration showed him as a member of the armed forces.

Under normal circumstances, his military service status would prevent him from obtaining a pass or other credentials, and without a pass, he could not enter any other city.

Now Yang Qing can leave Hengzhou Prefecture, but he does not have the identity to enter other towns.

But among the above four problems, the one that Yang Qing was best able to solve was the identity issue.

As long as you can pass the trial of the Night Watch and change your job to become a Night Watchman, you will naturally get rid of this semi-slave status.

Even after successfully changing jobs, you can directly apply to the Night Patrol Department for a transfer outside the city, which will make it more convenient for you to move around.

"Take your time, there's no rush for this!"

Yang Qing let out a long sigh.

Although I have found a way to make money, everything is still missing some opportunities. Some things require waiting, and some require chance.

After talking with Xu Caikun for a while, Yang Qing said goodbye and left.

The clerk in charge was killed before. Although many passers-by saw him chasing the murderer, he still needed to inform Wang Hu in advance. At least the procedures at the government office had to be followed.

-------------------------------------

That night, the night was dark.

The Doujin gambling house seems to be deserted tonight.

Although there are still many gamblers, there are far fewer thugs in the casino than usual.

In a dark room of the gambling house, the boss of Doujin Casino, nine monks and about a dozen high-level thugs gathered together.

With such a large lineup, it seems that the action is about to begin.
