Chapter 187: Obstruction


The next day, when the Ma brothers left, they didn't take anything else with them, but each of them carried a piece of pajamas back.

The goose down pajamas are so soft and comfortable that I don't even want to take them off after putting them on.

Such a pajamas are worth a lot of money.

Not to mention the lot of goose down, the silk cloth alone will be used up.

There are three layers inside and outside, and the two layers inside are of inferior quality that Luo Yong bought elsewhere.

The outermost layer of fabrics is made of silk cloth given by the emperor.

At this time, a piece of silk cloth was about one foot eight wide and four feet long, that is, forty feet.

This pajama was so wide and big that the three layers inside and outside combined used up more than one piece of silk cloth.

With so many pieces, ordinary people would definitely not be able to afford them.

However, if there was a market for this kind of pajamas, people would be able to make some money for their families just by selling goose down every year.

It is said that after the Ma brothers returned home, they did not talk much to other elders in the family.

They only had a few words with their own mother-in-law, and soon they set off for Chang'an City.

It was not easy for the two brothers.

After working hard in Shannan for more than half a year this year, they finally returned to their hometown in Lishi to spend the winter.

However, they were invited by Luo Yong and they were about to go to Chang'an City again.

Not wanting to ride any more, the two of them went out together in a large carriage.

The road from Lishi County to Chang'an City was passable.

The two brothers sat in the car, wrapped in the pajamas they got from Luo Yong, and dozed all the way to Chang'an City.

When they got to the area near Tongguan, they met police officers and civilian workers who were building roads.

That section of the road went slowly.

After that section, there was a spacious and flat cement road in front of them.

The carriages walking on it didn't even know there was anything there.

How peaceful and light.

I heard that the official in charge of cattle and horses told the emperor recently that the cement road was too hard and was not conducive to the hooves of cattle and horseshoes.

Even if the horseshoes were shoed, the joints with the horse's legs would be hindered.

The emperor asked the ministers for their suggestions in the court, and then one minister stood up and said very rudely, nothing in this world can be perfect, and building a cement road obviously has more advantages than disadvantages.

Such advantages If the country and the people still need to look forward and backward, then from now on they can just eat and sleep without doing anything else.

So just like that, this cement road was built with great fanfare.

As for whether horses' hooves will be injured due to this cement road, we have to wait for time to verify.

Even if there is a problem, it can only be solved slowly in the future.

For now, everyone feels that it is very smooth and comfortable to drive on this concrete road with an ox cart and a horse.

Because the road is smooth, the oxen and horses pulling the cart can also save a lot of effort.

After getting on the cement road, the Ma brothers felt that their carriage was running much faster than before, and the carriage was not shaking much.

The journey suddenly became much easier.

It felt like they had arrived in Chang'an City in just a few days.

There are now cement roads everywhere in Chang'an City.

Even in this rainy and snowy weather, the roads are not muddy.

Due to the cold weather, Ma's Trading Company did not have many customers today.

After the two brothers arrived, their father quickly came over from the warehouse to talk to them.

The two brothers told their father the purpose of their visit, and then told their father everything about Luo Yong's proposal and the room he had arranged when he invited them to Luo's house. .

After hearing this, Father Ma picked up another piece of pajamas worn by his eldest son or his youngest son and looked at them.

Although the pajamas had been worn out these days and were dusty and wrinkled, they were generally OK.

See an appearance.

After looking at it inside and out, he put it on himself, wrapped it up, sat cross-legged on the kang with his neck curled up, and sighed: "Luo Sanlang, what a wonderful idea."

"Aye, I've been wearing this pajamas for half a month and haven't washed it yet."

Ma Jiu looked at his pajamas and suddenly felt something was wrong, so he said quickly.

His father waved his hand and did not answer his words at all: "You two brothers, start collecting goose down in the next few days."

"Here."

Masilang cupped his hands and said, "I'm going to wash up first."

"Go on, go on."

Dad Ma waved his hand and told him to go quickly.

"Aye" Ma Jiu called his father again.

"You go too, have a quick wash, have a rest tonight, and start preparing for the guest house tomorrow."

Father Ma said.

"" Ma Jiulang glanced at his father's pajamas again, touched his nose, and left reluctantly.

The two brothers went to wash up and rest.

Father Ma sat alone in the room and thought for a long time.

Then he went out in a carriage and wandered around Chang'an City.

This time, since this guest house can attract the Luo Sanlang family's food shop to move in, and the Ma family's management, it should not lose money no matter what.

Since it can make money, then he will naturally not hesitate to spend more.

Put down some capital and make the stall bigger.

It is the winter of the 10th year of Zhenguan.

According to the calculation of the AD, it is 636 AD.

In this year, Chang'an City should not have an inch of land, but at this time, the world is probably very peaceful.

The victory of foreign wars , and it has brought strong confidence to the people of this country.

This confidence is reflected in the economy, which is a prosperous scene.

Because they are very confident in the market, transactions are naturally prosperous, and the real estate market is also rising.

Under this situation, if you want to find a suitable location in Chang'an City to open a guest house, you don't have to worry about the loss of principal.

The Ma family has been operating in Chang'an City for so many years, but they have also established some relationships.

There are many people in their relationship network who are also merchants in Chang'an City.

Some time ago, Mr.

Ma heard someone say that the Luji Winery in Guangdefang was interested in changing hands because the Lu family was from the Qinling Mountains.

Recently, he heard that the Saint was vigorously promoting the planting of Duzhong trees in the Qinling Mountains.

Many local wealthy households were I took this opportunity to go back to my hometown to develop, so the Lu family Several of the most capable people were transferred back, leaving a group of incompetent people here.

In less than a year, a good wine shop was half-operated.

The Lu family wanted to sell the wine shop.

Just because the price offered was too high, no one took it over yet.

Speaking of which, this year, the capital outflow in Chang'an City has been relatively serious.

Many people have gone back to their hometowns to plant trees, and many merchants have gone to the border areas to start cashmere trading.

However, when those people have earned enough money, they will have to return to Chang'an City to spend money sooner or later.

According to Father Yima, it is not a bad idea to take over the Luji Winery now.

The carriage circled around Chang'an City, and Father Ma finally decided to go to Luji Winery.

When he got there, he took off the dusty down robe he was wearing, and even though he was shaking from the cold, After taking a slow breath, he got out of the car and went to discuss business with Nalu's family.

As soon as he entered, he stayed there for more than two hours.

When he came out again, the matter of Ma's Trading Company taking over Lu Ji Winery was basically settled.

The next day, when the Ma Feiyang brothers woke up, their father had already asked someone to buy cement.

It seems that Mr.

Ma is going to spend a lot of money this time.

Not only does he take over the Luji Winery, but he also plans to renovate it.

He will change the original one-story building into a two-story building and build several fire walls.

Heating on the second floor is guaranteed to a certain extent.

With the popularity of the fire kang, the fire wall is now relatively common in Chang'an City.

It first appeared in the imperial palace, and later some high-ranking officials and relatives of the emperor rushed to imitate it.

Up to now, the people in Chang'an basically know about the fire wall, but it is not easy to build the wall, and it will increase the consumption of firewood, so ordinary people do not do this at home.

Handing over the house, demolishing the house, and building the house, Ma's Trading Company moved really quickly this time.

Many people didn't even realize what was going on.

How could Ma's Trading Company be willing to spend so much money to take over the Lu family's wine shop?

Most of the house had already been built.

Many people in Chang'an City are a little confused.

With the financial resources of Ma's Trading Company, it will definitely be difficult to eat the Luji Wine Restaurant.

The Ma family did not mainly sell goods in the past, so why did they destroy it this time?

Spend a lot of money to start a wine shop However, there is also news that Yanma is going to cooperate with Lishi Luo Sanlang this time.

I don’t know if the person who released this news has an informant in the Ma family, or if it is just a blind cat meeting a dead mouse and guessing.

After all, Ma family and Naluo Sanlang are both from Lishi, so it is easy for people to mislead them.

Think of one place.

The Ma Feiyang brothers are mainly focusing on the acquisition of goose down these days.

They want to run a guest house in Chang'an City.

They plan to imitate the layout of the house Luo Sanlang showed them, but they do not need to start from Lishi.

The county will transport goose down and purchase it directly from the areas around Chang'an City.

It was expected that since Luo Sanlang could show the room to the two of them that day, he should not be afraid of them learning from it.

As long as the business here can be done, Luo Sanlang would naturally not have to worry about selling the goose down he had hoarded before, but no matter what After all, a thank you gift should always be given.

When Luo Yong received the letter sent from the inn by someone from the Ma family, his mood was a little complicated.

I just talked to my sister a few days ago about opening a food shop in Chang'an City.

How come it happened so quickly?

The Ma family was very sincere and said that they would prepare a shop for them along the street from their living room.

The rent would be free of charge in the first year.

From the second year on, the rent would be based on the average rent in the Guangdefang area.

Charge a certain amount of rent.

The location of the shop they bought this time is next to the West Market and next to the south gate of Guangde Square.

It is considered a very good location.

Luo Yong knows that in such a good location, the rent must be higher than that in the street next to it.

It is slightly more expensive, and the Ma family only charges them the same fee as elsewhere, which is already a considerable discount.

As for the first year's rent that is waived, it should be Luo Yong's creative fee.

Luo Yong told Aunt Luo about this matter.

Although Aunt Luo felt a little uneasy, her attitude was still very clear.

This time, she decided to run this store in Chang'an City herself.

Lin Wulang was listening and was very happy.

He also wanted to visit Chang'an City, and with Nama's family taking care of them, it shouldn't be too difficult for them there.

As a result, that night, the two of them returned to the Lin family to talk about the matter with Lin's father and Lin's mother, but they were strongly obstructed by the two elders of the Lin family.

In the opinion of the two elders of the Lin family, the couple of them working with Luo Sanlang at the Xu family guesthouse are temporary and they can come back whenever they want.

After all, it is so close to home, and they are still real farmers now, but once they go After running that restaurant in Chang'an City, can they still be considered farmers in the future?

Look at those people in Wangdang, and then look at the previous situation of the Xu family.

After being separated from their identity as farmers and losing their fields, how will their future lives be guaranteed, and where will their descendants take root?

Even Father Lin, who always seemed to be easy to talk to, showed a tough attitude this time.

If it doesn't work, it won't work.
