At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the population was quite sparse, mainly because too many people died in the previous dynasty and during the previous dynasty changes.
After Emperor Gaozu established the Tang Dynasty in the early years, because the world was relatively peaceful, naturally, the country ushered in a birth peak.
The children born in those years were basically in their teens now.
In many families, children over the age of ten are already a relatively important labor force in the family.
If the adults in the family cannot support them, they may even have to shoulder the important task of raising a family.
The surname of this pair of pears sellers is Shen, who is from Pingyi County.
The old man went to the battlefield in his early years and suffered a lot of suffering.
Now his body is basically in a state of dilapidation.
His son and daughter-in-law are not strong people.
After paying taxes this year, there is not much food left.
I happened to hear someone say that there are many merchants here in Lishi County.
Someone had shipped pears here before and sold them at a good price, so the two of them also brought this cart.
Pears come here.
Shen Weng originally had two sons.
The eldest son went to the battlefield and never came back.
In order to keep his younger son alive, the old man was so cruel that he personally broke one of his younger son's legs just to keep him from going to the battlefield.
In those years, many people evaded military conscription and labor in this way.
Everyone called the disabled hands and feet that saved them from the labor force.
In fact, even now, there are still people who use this method to avoid taxes and corvees that are too onerous for them, because disabled people do not have to pay rent, that is, they are not required to pay household taxes.
This situation occurs all over the country.
It's not just them here either.
Luo Yong had just seen the two grandsons for the first time.
He didn't know much about them.
He just felt that the figure of the old man in the corner looked too desolate, and in the eyes of the young man, there were too many things that did not belong to this The heaviness that a person of his age should have.
"Do you have any pear saplings to sell?"
Seeing that his pears were good, Luo Yong naturally came up with the idea of purchasing pear saplings.
Most of the five hectares of land he just acquired were on slopes, so it would be suitable to plant some fruit trees. of.
"There are also saplings, but you want to buy them."
When the young man heard that Luo Yong wanted to buy pear saplings, there was a bit of joy on his face.
"I want to buy it."
Luo Yong rubbed his cheek and said, "It's too cold here.
Let's go to Qinji Soup Cake Shop and talk slowly.
I want all these pears." "" When Luo Yong called them to go to the soup cake shop, the old man who had been huddled in the corner raised his head and looked over, revealing a pair of wary, cloudy eyes from under his broken hat.
In his early years, he had been on the battlefield and visited many places.
He had seen all kinds of hell on earth, so he was very defensive against people.
If it had been different before when he was outside and someone suddenly asked him to go to a soup cake shop to eat, he would definitely not go.
Don't ask someone to cook the soup cake when he didn't eat it.
This is not an exaggeration.
When times are bad, there is no food everywhere, and cannibalism also happens.
Some people will become addicted after eating it.
Such people, in today's peaceful environment, are also A very dangerous existence.
"I am Luo Sanlang of Xipo Village.
You can trust me, old man."
That look in Luo Yong's eyes was also very familiar to him.
Only people who have seen the darkness in this world would be so wary of others.

"Oh, it's Luo Sanlang."
The old man nodded, his face a little dazed, as if he finally realized that this was no longer the war-torn era.
They had obviously been to Qinji Soup Cake Shop before, and it had a serious recipe. , business is quite prosperous.
The three of them went to the Qinji Soup Cake Shop.
When Qin Wuniang saw Luo Yong driving a donkey cart, she quickly asked her nephew to drive the donkey cart to the barn in the backyard, while she led Luo Yong three times.
People went to a low table on the Kang in the store.
Nowadays, most of the shops in Lishi County are equipped with earthen Kangs.
At Qinji Soup Cake Shop, there are two rows of large Kangs at the entrance, one on the left and one on the right.
Several small tables are placed on the heads of the Kangs.
There are several straw mats next to the tables.
"What do you guys want to eat?"
Qin Wuniang greeted warmly.
"Would fried noodles with mutton soup be okay?"
Luo Yong took off his shoes and got on the kang, sat cross-legged, and asked the grandfather and grandson opposite him.
"Yeah."
The young man was a little cautious, but the old man was calm, but he didn't like to talk to others.
"Okay."
Qin Wuniang went to the back to prepare food for the three of them.
There were three or four other tables of customers in the store.
Most people in Lishi County knew Luo Sanlang, so they greeted him one after another.
Luo Yong also smiled and greeted everyone.
"Sanlang, have you heard?"
A middle-aged uncle on the table next to him came closer.
"What's the matter?"
Luo Yong asked him.
"I heard people say that there are also Yan'erfei people on Henan Road."
The man said worriedly.
Ever since the Hengs and his son started Yanerfei's business, their Lishi County has become much more lively than before, and there are many businessmen from other places coming and going.
If this limelight is taken away by the gang from Henan Province in the future, then they will Isn't this place going back to its original deserted appearance?
After seeing the bustle, when I think of the old scene again, I suddenly feel very depressed.
"But what about the Qian brothers?"
Shandong Province in the 21st century also belongs to Henan Province at this time, but many local people still refer to themselves as Qilu.
"I don't know."
He only heard what he heard and didn't know the details: "It's just that since the canal was opened in the previous dynasty, there has been a waterway from Henan Road to Chang'an City.
I heard that the terrain there is flat, and it's not like a flat river.
We have so many mountains and hills here, and the transportation is much more developed.”
"They do what they do and are not afraid."
This kind of thing was originally expected.
For a person who grew up in the 21st century, competition is simply too common.
At this time, the mutton soup happened to be served.
Luo Yong picked up the stoneware bowl and carefully blew some hot soup on the side of the bowl to cool down.
He slowly drank it into his mouth, swallowed it, and suddenly felt that the pores on his body were about to open.
Sure enough, , this cold day, I just want to drink mutton soup.
"Why aren't you afraid?"
The young man opposite Luo Yong asked at this time.

"Although his side has convenient transportation, in terms of distance, our side is closer to Chang'an City."
Luo Yong took another sip of hot soup and said, "I guess the Yanerfei they gave birth to is , I will probably go to the Jiangnan area more in the future.”
"Sanlang's words make sense."
Several people in the store echoed their words at this time.
They were also concerned and confused.
When Luo Yong said this, it made sense to think about it.
With such a big pot of rice, even if you hold it tightly in your arms, I can't finish it myself.
"The Jiangnan area is also rich.
It's a pity that they took away those businesses."
One of the older people said with regret at this time.
"It's not a pity, it's all a matter of time."
Luo Yong said with a smile: "Besides, even if everyone in the world comes to our Lishi County to buy Yan'erfei, we can't build that many cars.
Let them do whatever they want.
Go ahead."
"It makes sense."
"Worry about what those people do."
"Eat, eat, eat."
Everyone echoed again.
"What if someone building this car appears in Pingyi, Dinghu and other places someday?"
At this time, the boy opposite asked again.
This time the question was actually quite sharp.
As a Pingyi County He dares to ask such a question here, and he is not afraid that others will think that he is provoking.
"This business is like the water in the pool.
You can't stop it by blocking it.
No matter how tight the blockage is, the water in the pool will dry up one day.
You can only dig the pool bigger, store more water, and then fill it with water.
The water source must be properly dredged.
If one water source is not enough, find several more.
Moreover, the water that flows out will not be able to flow back again.
If you come and go frequently, you will not have to worry about the pool water drying up. " Luo Yong had a good impression of this young man, so he said a few more words.
What he has to do now is to revitalize the economy of Lishi County.
Only when the economy is good can the lives of the local people be good.
These local people Among them, Luo Yong and his family were naturally included.
He didn't say this to anyone, but he did it all the time, almost instinctively.
After hearing such words, the young man from the Shen family suddenly felt enlightened.
He looked at Luo Sanlang opposite him.
He was obviously about the same age as himself.
How could he understand such a profound truth?
In contrast, he felt I am very ignorant.
Luo Sanlang: Don't compare with me, I'm cheating.
Just when Luo Sanlang and others were eating noodles and drinking soup at Qinji Soup Cake Shop, they talked about the mountains.
In Chang'an City, the wool felt mats brought by Luo Yong's disciples had already been sold out.
The people behind them didn't buy any, so they all started to inquire about where these things were produced, and then they took them out of Lishi County.
Such a place.
The earlier Yanerfei was also produced in Lishi County, and this time the wool felt mat was also produced in Lishi County.

What, you said those wool socks were also produced there?
So what kind of place is Lishi County, and how can it produce so many novel things?
Then someone who had been to Lishi County came forward and said that in Lishi County, you can buy a peony mat like this for only 100 cents, and a pair of plush socks for only 100 cents.
One hundred pennies, if the color is more expensive, it won't exceed one hundred and fifty pennies.
Did you know that the fermented bean curd sold by Ma's Trading Company recently only costs five cents a jar?
In addition, they also have a particularly delicious red date chicken cake, which is even more delicious than the pastries from Mifangzhai.
It is fluffy, soft, sweet and fragrant.
The taste is amazing.
The best thing is that it is such a delicious piece.
Cake, it only costs one penny Mi Fang Zhai: The author has something to say: Mi Fangzhai: Why do you always use me as a negative example?
By the way, I found that updating at seven o'clock doesn't seem to suit me, and it also inhibits the enthusiasm for the second update to a certain extent.
Maybe we should not fix the time in the future, or come and check it out around nine o'clock in the evening.
OK, usually you should be able to see the updated gd1806102 at that time:
