The people of Qin were unaware of Lin Tian's actions.
Even the soldiers in the army did not know the purpose of express delivery.
It was not until Lin Tian's express delivery system was established and implemented that the common people, to their surprise, discovered the existence of express delivery in Qin.
When they saw that express delivery allowed them to write letters to their families, many were astonished.
"What? We can write letters to our families, and someone will deliver them for us? Is this true or not??"
"It must be true! This wasn't created by just anyone, but by His Highness the Crown Prince. Is there anything His Highness the Crown Prince creates that would be false??"
"No wonder they needed to recruit so many people before to do some kind of work; it was to deliver letters for us!!"
The common people were also aware of the previous recruitment of express delivery personnel.
Many of their relatives had even participated in it and become express couriers.
Therefore, many had a strong sense of trust in the existence of express delivery.
They also believed that express delivery could deliver their letters to their families.
However, believing it did not mean they would immediately send letters.
Many people adopted a wait-and-see attitude regarding sending letters.
They were unsure if they needed to send letters.
Thus, after half a day of operation, no one had come to write a letter yet.
It was not until an old woman appeared.
"I, I want to write a letter to my son. My son has been away from home for many years and I haven't heard from him at all!!"
"Certainly. Do you know where your son is and what his name is??"
"I know, I know!! However, I am illiterate and cannot write. Can you, can you write it for me??"
"Absolutely. However, there is a fee for us to write on your behalf. Generally, for letters within five hundred characters, it is one copper coin!!"
"Here, I'll pay. I'm willing to pay!!"
Upon hearing the price, the old woman did not hesitate and immediately asked someone at the express delivery station to write for her.
Afterward, she dictated her trust in her son, asking if he was well, when he would return home, and other questions.
Then, under the gaze of everyone, the old woman's letter was sealed and prepared to be sent to her son's location.
This situation immediately caused everyone to discuss among themselves.
"Is this sending a letter? It seems very simple!!"
"Indeed, it is very simple, and someone can help write it. This saves us a lot of effort!!"
"This is good, this method of writing letters is good. With someone to help write, our letters will surely reach our families quickly!!"
"This process is too simple. I want to write a letter, I want to write a letter too!!"
The method of sending letters at this time, compared to later times, was still more complicated and time-consuming.
However, compared to the longing in the hearts of the common people, this small amount of time consumed was nothing.
Therefore, after one person took the lead, many commoners followed suit, writing letters to their families with whom they had not been in contact for a long time.
This act of writing letters made many people's hearts feel alive; they felt they could connect with those who had forgotten them.
This was undoubtedly a great benefit to the common people.
In fact, it was not only the common people but also the soldiers in the army.
Many soldiers had not contacted their families for a long time.
Even if they were in the army and could have someone carry their letters, those letters either never arrived or took half a year to arrive.
Therefore, many of them missed their families dearly but could do nothing about it.
But now it was different. The soldiers in the army unexpectedly received letters from home, which was a tremendous surprise for them.
"What? A letter? There's a letter for me? Where would I get a letter??"
"We are in the army now. How could anyone write to us in the army? This is impossible, isn't it??"
"Is there a mistake? Is it a letter I sent out that has been returned? How could anyone write to me??"
Many soldiers found it incredible that someone had written to them.
They had never imagined that one day the outside world would actively write letters to them.
Therefore, when they heard the word "letter," their first reaction was that it was a letter they had not sent out that had been returned.
As a result, many of them were extremely disappointed.
In their hearts, they still hoped more to be able to contact their families.
However, at this moment, some people noticed something was wrong.
These people who noticed something was wrong were those who had not written letters to their families.
They were illiterate and had not written to their families, so in such circumstances, there should be no letters for them.
But inexplicably, the people in the military camp said they had letters for them, which made many of them feel bewildered.
It was not until they saw the letters that they all felt a sense of sudden realization.
"This... this is a letter from my father! This is a letter from my father!!"
"Quick, keep reading it to me, help me keep reading to see what my father said to me??"
Upon learning that it was a letter from their family, these soldiers were all immensely excited.
Some of them were even in tears.
Every festival brought a greater longing for loved ones. They had not been home for a long time, and naturally, they missed their families dearly.
Therefore, as they listened to others read the letters from their families, they wept as they listened.
As for the other soldiers, they quickly reacted.
They thought that it might not be a returned letter, but a letter from their families.
Upon thinking of this, these soldiers were all incredibly excited.
"Give me a letter, quickly give me a letter!!"
"Let me see, let me see what my family said to me!!"
"I miss my mother. My mother must miss me too. Quickly help me read it to see what my mother said to me!!"
They had not been home for a long time. Now, upon receiving letters, they felt as if they could smell the scent of their hometown.
Because of this, each of them was incredibly excited.
Under their excitement, all their letters were distributed.
One by one, they were all letters written by their families.
They not only spoke of their longing for them but also of the benefits of express delivery.
At the same time, they told them to be sure to write back.
Because their families also missed them dearly.
Such letters directly warmed all the soldiers in the army.
