The price of mutton is still falling day by day.
In the past two days, it can still be sold for two or three cents a pound, and in the next two days, it will only cost one or two cents.
By the beginning of November, the meat and bones will be sold for one pound.
Dou Bian only costs three to five coins.
I heard that this was also the case in previous years.
Many people in the city took advantage of this time to buy mutton and make it into dried meat.
Some families who made a lot last year have not finished eating it this year.
Mutton has always been cheap and food expensive here in Changle County.
Since the cashmere trade has flourished, most of the sheep farmers here only kill sheep in winter, so mutton is especially cheap in winter.
After spring, the price goes up again.
There are some people in the city who are in a tight situation.
I heard that they have not bought fresh meat since the spring of this year.
They have been enduring it since the winter.
Then they often go to the streets to ask about the price of mutton.
The price has not dropped to the lowest level.
When it's cheap, they don't buy much.
Infinitely good literature, all in Jinjiang Literature City Recently, almost every household in this city eats meat.
Those with better conditions will buy good meat to eat, while those with worse conditions will buy worse meat.
Luo Yong and others in the county government also ate meat every day.
They ate it mixed with grain.
As time went by, they felt a little tired of it, so they bought some broken tea cakes from the tea shops and brought them back every day.
They all cooked a big pot in the front yard, and whoever wanted to eat took a ladle to scoop it out.
In front of Mawang's tea shops, most of them had stoves and pottery cauldrons set up to cook hot tea all day long.
People in the city often went to them to ladle tea and eat it for free.
After eating this bowl of tea, I will relieve greasiness and relieve oiliness.
I will feel comfortable in my stomach for the whole day, and my stomach will not feel heavy at all.
The Zhao family came back to Changle County mainly for the tea and liquor.
I also want to buy some bacon and plan to take it back and sell it to merchants in Liangzhou City, mainly those from the Central Plains area.
Zhao Chen has been staying in Changle County during this time.
He went to Dunhuang a while ago and came back these two days.
The Zhao family opened a shop there earlier and the business was doing very well. .
The Zhao family purchased goods from Central Plains merchants in Liangzhou City, then transported them to Dunhuang and sold them to some local Hu merchants.
Then they collected some goods from Dunhuang Hu merchants and transported them to Liangzhou City for sale.
Come here once, the benefits will be huge.
Zhao Chen came to Changle County in person this time.
In addition to purchasing goods, he had another purpose.
The Zhao family received news from merchants from the Central Plains that the sage sent a group of clan members to Changle County to learn the language of the Hu people and understand the situation in the Western Regions, and planned to let them out of the customs in the future.
The Zhao family in Shuozhou, Hedong Road, originally made their fortune by doing business with herdsmen on the grasslands outside the pass.
There were many courageous sons and daughters in the family.
This time, the imperial court planned to extend its hands to those business roads in the Western Regions, and the Zhao family wanted to do the same.
Follow and get a piece of the pie.
Zhao Chen said that they wanted to send the young people at home to Luo Yong to take classes with the noble men, on the one hand to learn, and on the other hand to make friends.
Luo Yong agreed and agreed to let the Zhao family send one or two people over here, but not more.
After all, Luo Yong was still in the exploratory stage, and he might not be able to cope with too many people.
Regarding the matter of opening a college to teach, Luo Yong has basically just built houses and hired teachers.

Tang Jian is mainly responsible for it.
The last time Tang Jian sent the excerpt to Chang'an City, he asked the imperial court to send some young people to Changle County to study the culture of the Western Regions.
The sage was right, and now they are on the way.
As for the person in charge of this matter, who is on the other side?
One of them is Tang Jian, Luo Yong has to sit in the back row.
On the one hand, Tang Jian has recently been visiting and contacting capable people with lofty ideals in Shazhou, Guazhou.
On the other hand, he is also actively contacting Hu businessmen who have settled there, especially those who can write.
Tang Jian is not a simple person.
Even though he has not been doing well in Chang'an City these years, he used to be a person who could represent the country and speak to the Turkic Khans.
The people of the Central Plains may not have much feelings about this matter.
Many people People have never even heard of him, but the men in these frontiers admire him very much, and the barbarians also respect him.
Generally speaking, Tang Jian's recent work has been going relatively smoothly, and there are very few people he can't win over as long as he likes them.
But he also encountered a tough problem.
There was a Hu merchant in Dunhuang who settled in the Tang Dynasty.
He heard that he had led a very famous caravan in the past and traveled all the trade routes in the Western Regions.
He had been to many places and had experienced a lot.
Guang, now that he is older, he has obtained a guest residence for himself in Dunhuang and plans to retire there.
When Tang Jian approached him, he received him politely.
Tang Jian asked him to teach the gentry students, but he refused, saying that he was of low status and had little knowledge, and did not dare to appear in front of the gentry prince. rash.
Later, Tang Jian went to Dunhuang several times, met many people, and had many contacts with this Hu merchant, but this man still refused to let go.
In this era without maps and the Internet, all the experience and knowledge of this Hu Shang are priceless.
They are all gained by him step by step.
Those who have never followed his footsteps and have been to many places are It is impossible to understand those things.
It is human nature that he does not want to teach these knowledge to those noble men whom he has never met before.
After all, he also has his own children, his own hometown and compatriots.
Tang Jian failed to convince this person several times, but he was unwilling to give up, so he told Luo Yong about it.
Luo Yong had stayed in Changle County for such a long time, and drank and joked with the Hu merchants who came and went all day long.
He had heard about the Hu merchant that Tang Jian was talking about in the past.
The desert is now desert, but his legend is still circulating among the oases in the desert.
Many leaders of large caravans will visit him after arriving in Dunhuang.
Tang Jian wanted this person to tell the noble men about his experiences in various countries in the Western Regions, and Luo Yong thought it was the best.
For this matter, Luo Yong also went to Dunhuang.
This time he went with Tang Jian.
The Hu Shang still entertained them warmly, but he only mentioned the teaching, but he still didn't say anything. answer.
Infinitely good literature, all in Jinjiang Literature City "It's not urgent."
After being rejected many times by the other party, Tang Jian didn't show any anger or dissatisfaction at all.
He smiled like a friendly person: "Those boys haven't arrived in Changle County yet, so it's too early to mention this matter.
The two of us are here today for another matter."
"I don't know why."
This old Hu Shang also spoke Chinese quite well and his etiquette was also in place.
"I think I must have heard something.
Recently, I was in Changle County and often had wine with businessmen from various countries.
I also heard a lot of things and gained a lot of knowledge.
I even drew a rough map, but I don't know any mistakes or omissions.
"Sir, please take a look at me."

Luo Yong said, taking out a scroll from his sleeve and handing it to the other party.
The man's face seemed to be moved, but he didn't say anything.
He took the scroll, opened it and looked at it.
I didn't have any expectations at first.
After all, a young man like Luo Yong, who had never really been to the Western Regions, just drank and laughed with the merchants and heard hearsay.
He drew a random map and praised the many mountains and rivers in the Western Regions.
I can't tell the difference between this mountain and that mountain, and the map I drew is probably like a child's play house.
After a quick glance, he was shocked to realize that it was not as he expected.
Although the map was roughly drawn, he actually drew the locations of the mountains and rivers in the Western Region correctly.
There are also places where land and sea meet, deserts and grasslands, and snowy mountains.
Upon closer inspection, many places can match the pictures in his memory.
In addition, there are many places that he has never even been to.
After the Great Eating, there is still such a vast world, and the prairie in the north is actually as wide as "I don't know where this map comes from."
Hu Shang put down the map in his hand, but did not believe that Luo Yong had drawn it himself.
People who have never been to the Western Regions and have no relevant knowledge often end up being wrong when trying to draw a map of the Western Regions.
However, the map that Ishiro Saburo took out this time first shows the map of the Western Regions.
The author has an extraordinary macro-cognition of this continent, which is not something ordinary people can achieve.
"The origin of this map cannot be explained to me."
Luo Yong smiled, stepped forward to put the map away, rolled it up carefully, and put it into his sleeve.
Hu Shang's eyes seemed to be glued to the map, and he could not pull it off.
Until Luo Yong put it away, he couldn't help but stare at Luo Yong's sleeves.
"I guess it must have come from the Central Plains Palace."
Hu Shang had also heard about Pei Ju's map of the Western Regions.
If this is true, then the emperor of the Central Plains may have paid great attention to what Tang Jian and the others are going to do in Changle County.
"I don't know what I think of this plan," Tang Jian asked again at this time.
"It's not like ordinary people."
Hu Shang said.
"Haha, this is just a simple map.
We are going to do this this time, so we naturally have a lot of preparations.
Please think carefully about teaching."
Tang Jian advised again at this time.
Infinitely good literature, all in Jinjiang Literature City "Of course."
Hu Shang said solemnly.
They have even brought out such good things, how can they not think about it carefully?
This is not only a matter of status and reputation.
What Luo Sanlang showed him this time was exactly what he longed for most in his heart.
About this There are many unknown places on the continent that he has yet to set foot on.
As long as he can find more answers and learn about a wider world, he will not hesitate to lose his life.
He is already in such a dying age, what is he afraid of?
He dares to venture into the dragon's den and the tiger's den.
Not to mention it's just teaching.
Being able to solve the confusion in his heart while he was alive was probably the last gift God gave him before his life came to an end.
