After returning to Changle County, Luo Yong first put the work of repairing the city wall on the agenda, and then started purchasing grain.
It stands to reason that in the current peaceful and prosperous times, when the national treasury is full of granaries, the food and grass required for the war should not be allocated to neighboring cities like them.
However, just in case, it is better to make preparations as early as possible, so as to be prepared.
In addition, Luo Yong has been shutting himself up in a small room in the office area in front of the county government every night recently.
He does nothing else but look for information from his space.
Regarding this war between Tang Dynasty and Gaochang, Luo Yong didn't know much about it before, and now he is just scratching his head, hoping to find some useful information.
After many days of searching, Luo Yong finally found some useful information.
It was not specifically about the war between Tang Dynasty and Gaochang, but in an article evaluating Hou Junji.
A piece about this war.
Infinitely good literature, all in Jinjiang Literature City As expected by Tang Jian, the general who led the Tang army in the battle against Gaochang was indeed Hou Junji.
According to this information, after Hou Junji defeated the Gaochang Kingdom, he not only embezzled the national treasure of the Gaochang Kingdom, bullied the princesses of the Gaochang Kingdom, secretly distributed and confiscated innocent people, and even allowed the soldiers to stealing property Stealing property, an army that has lost restraint, facing a weak country that has just been defeated by them, what they will do is not just stealing property.
This passage only said that they stole property, and even praised Hou Junji's military exploits.
Hou Junji's military exploits can be said to be The current Tang Dynasty was at a time when its troops and horses were strong.
Many generals and soldiers were battle-hardened.
The court was rich in talents and had sufficient food and grass.
Under such circumstances, the court sent several times as many soldiers as Gaochang and the Turkic army. , let Hou Junji lead the troops to attack Gaochang State, a Buddhist country.
Even if this military exploit is not for nothing, the difficulty will not be too great.
People like Li Jing and Xu Shiji in the court cannot be defeated by anyone.
Luo Yong closed the book.
Somehow, he suddenly thought of Tang Xuanzang again, and vaguely remembered that Tang Xuanzang had some connection with Gaochang Kingdom.
Tang Xuanzang and Sun Simiao are both legendary figures who existed in this era.
Luo Yong had read some information about them earlier.
When Tang Xuanzang returned from the Western Regions, the Gaochang Kingdom had long been destroyed, but he still often mentioned to others the courtesy he had received in the Gaochang Kingdom.
Recently, many people in Changle County have noticed that Magistrate Luo rarely drinks and laughs with others during this period.
He walks around in a hurry all day long and looks solemn.
So some people speculated that the city wall in Changle County was not being built smoothly, or that Shangguan had some difficulties for him.
In mid-December, news suddenly came from Chang'an City that the imperial court was going to use troops against Gaochang State.
Immediately, the people in the county were in an uproar.
A few days later, more and more people signed up to build the city wall, and some wealthy households in the city also sent their families to go.
Although they are using troops externally, their Changle County is, after all, a small border town, close to the western end of the Hexi Corridor.
They heard that the Gaochang Kingdom has some conflicts with the Turks.
If the Turks counterattack, they will temporarily capture one or two cities on the border.
It's not a rare thing.
There are always wars on the border, so this kind of thing has happened before.
Infinitely good literature, all in Jinjiang Literature City I don’t know how the people in Chang’an City view this war.
Here in Changle County, everyone is very solemn.
Many wealthy households in the city are repairing their courtyard walls, and some squires who originally lived outside the city have recently begun repairing their houses in the city, as if they plan to move to the city.
Changle's people are in danger, and their food supplies are in danger.
The price even increased three times a day.
At the county government, although the taxes for the year had just been collected after the autumn, Luo Yong had previously refunded some taxes that were not levied on households, and provided subsidies to some poor households in the county.
After this back and forth, the rice, grain, cloth and silk in the warehouse It has been spent to a great extent.
If there were no disasters or wars, relying on the remaining grain, as well as the liquor workshop, tofu workshop, cement workshop, and bacon workshop, the operating income of these workshops would be enough for the government to spend, and even support some large-scale enterprises.
Engineering construction, but with this war, many things become unpredictable.
In Changle County, the tea business of Mawang's family has almost disappeared recently.
Luo Yong's liquor and bacon are also hard to sell.

The price of cashmere has also dropped sharply.
On the contrary, the price of mutton is high.
There are a lot of people selling mutton in the city these days.
There are obviously fewer people than usual.
When many people came to Luo Erniang's cashmere workshop to sell cashmere, they said they didn't want gold, silver or cloth, but only food.
The steward at the cashmere workshop asked them to come back later.
Someone had already gone to Zhangye and other places to purchase grain, and it would be delivered in less than a month.
The people who went to Zhangye and other places to buy grain were none other than Ma Wang Zhao Chen.
In fact, they could have left Changle County before the war started and went to Liangzhou to avoid the limelight, but they all chose to stay in Changle County and advance and retreat together with Luo Yong.
This time they went to Zhangye and other places.
Purchasing grain is to prepare for the future.
Lishi merchants such as Ma Wang have considerable financial resources, and the Zhao family has always been brave.
With people like them staying in the local area, the people of Changle will feel a lot more at ease.
Luo Yong also felt comforted in his heart.
When he interacted with people like Ma Wang Zhao Chen, he never had any relationship as brothers and sisters.
He always focused on cooperation.
However, after this cooperation for a long time, there will naturally be problems between people.
In terms of friendship, if merchants such as Ma Wang or the Zhao family encountered some disaster in the future, Luo Yong would not stand idly by and watch, even if it had nothing to do with his interests.
Right now, the biggest problem facing Luo Yong is still lack of money.
Liquor and bacon are no longer easy to sell.
The money he earns every day from the tofu and cement workshops alone is far from enough to pay the workers who build the city walls.
Now he still has some savings in his hands, which can barely support him.
Some time, but what about after all the money on hand is spent?
Luo Yong was frowning all day long.
When Tang Jian saw him, he asked him why he was worried about something, so Luo Yong told him.
After hearing this, Doctor Tang became speechless.
Each of these noble men had their own manors when they were born.
From childhood to adulthood, they only cared about spending money and never had to worry about making money.
Infinitely good literature, all in Jinjiang Literature City When it comes to making money, Luo Yong originally didn't count on him.
I originally thought that with these workshops in Changle County, I would not have to worry about expenses.
Who would have thought that such a day would come, otherwise the war would affect the economy.
Thousands of miles away in the west, many places were also fighting at this time.
After Muhammad unified the Arabian Peninsula, he gradually began to expand externally.
Walking on such a land is naturally full of dangers.
With the help of the piece of parchment given to them by Hassan, Apu and the others managed to save themselves from danger several times.
This group of people had a very difficult journey.
The two teenagers from Apu's tribe were always trembling with fear at the beginning.
One of the teenagers was sick when they were in the desert, and Apu fed him a piece of roe.
Using the pills given to him and letting him eat enough food and water every day, the teenager survived tenaciously.
They passed through many large and small countries along the way, and people in some towns were very friendly to them.
One time they rescued a young man who was attacked by a wild beast on the road.
The man took them to the city where he lived.
The people in the city regarded Apu and others as heroes and invited them to live in the city. settle down.
Apu declined, telling the people in a broken local language that he could not stay here because his master was waiting for him to return.
When people asked who his master was, Apu said it was Lishi Luo Sanlang.

These people didn't understand the Han people's names, so they thought Apu's master's name was Li Shi Luo Sanlang.
In the imagination of these people, the man named Rishi Rasaburo should be a stronger and braver warrior than these black people.
They also encountered countless dangers along the way, some from nature and some from humans.
They once shivered in the cold rainy night, and were once chased by people for several days.
These difficulties and dangers also tempered their will, making them stronger and more steady, and giving them the courage to face the long and unknown road.
I originally thought that the area controlled by the cannibals would be the biggest difficulty along the way, but I didn't expect that this section of the road would be surprisingly easy.
Just a few days before the trip, Luo used the parchment he got from a big food merchant named Hassan.
Apu and the others did not understand the words on this parchment, but they could roughly understand some of the cannibal's languages.
From the other party's words and reactions, they could roughly guess what was on this parchment.
It says that Apu and the others are the domestic slaves of the big businessman Hassan.
They are loyal to the country of food and support Allah Muhammad.
They are the most loyal slaves.
In order to better serve their master, they decided to go back to their own country. hometown, bringing their relatives to the Big Food Country to serve their master together.
Some of the big cannibals were very moved after reading this parchment, and some people even gave them food and pointed them in the direction.
There were also some big cannibals who looked a little doubtful, but it was probably because Hassan was a well-known person and they had all heard of it, so they were not particularly embarrassed and let him go after some questioning.
There was also a particularly vicious general who threatened them not to escape, otherwise he would lead his army and kill their entire tribe.
Apu didn't know what kind of agreement Luo Yong had reached with Hassan to get such a piece of parchment, but it was definitely not just the small discounts given during the trade of tea and liquor.
The author has something to say: Luo Yong: "It doesn't mean that you are there for everything."
Tang Jian: "Then don't ask me how to make money.
If you ask me how to spend money, I can tell you about it for three days and three nights."
