After this meeting, Luo Yong met Guo An several times.
Sometimes it was Luo Yong, Qiao Junlin, and several young people like Guo An who met, and sometimes some of Guo's elders.
They had some detailed discussions on the cooperation between the two parties to open a needle workshop in Taiyuan Prefecture, and finally decided roughly that Luo Yong's disciples would provide the technology and equipment, and others would provide the artificial site and specific operations, and finally the money and silk from selling the needles would be used.
Then the account was divided according to 46%, Luo Yong's disciples got 40%, and Guo's family got 60%.
Many places in the east of Hedong can produce iron.
Opening a needle workshop in Taiyuan Prefecture not only allows local materials to be obtained, but it is also very convenient to sell the final needles to Chang'an, Luoyang and other places, because it can travel by water, and goods can be transported downstream.
The area around Taiyuan Prefecture was called Bingzhou in ancient times.
Bingzhou originally produced ironware and had a group of skilled craftsmen.
Du Fu, who was also born in the Tang Dynasty, once wrote in a poem: "How can I get the quick scissors of Bingzhou to cut half of the water of Wusong River."
Explain.
Bingzhou's scissors should have been quite famous at that time.
Earlier, Heng's Car Making Shop and Yin's Wheel Shop both went to Taiyuan Prefecture to find blacksmiths in order to make some iron parts.
There is no airtight wall in the world.
Luo Yong was going to open a needle workshop with the Guo family in Taiyuan Mansion.
The news quickly spread among some well-informed big families in Chang'an City.
Not only that, Luo Yong's disciples have recently been asking around with the portraits of the two thieves who died in the Luo family's house.
I don't know how they made the portraits, but they look very similar to the real people.
I heard that they also made engravings.
They now have as many portraits as they want, and distribute them to the public at will.
They also say that if anyone knows these two people, they will go to the North and South Grocery.
Even if they only know a little bit about them, the North and South Grocery will prepare a generous portion.
A generous thank you gift.
"Looking for someone, looking for someone" "Who knows these two people?"
"North and South groceries are looking for someone" "Thank you for providing information."
On this day, several young men were walking on the street, and unexpectedly, a portrait was thrust into the hands of one of the half-grown children.
"Tsk, bad luck."
After all, it was a portrait of a dead person.
One of the young men in gorgeous clothes threw it to the slave beside him.
The slave did not dislike it.
He folded it a few times and put it into his arms.
This paper If you have painted a dead person, you cannot use it to stick to the wall or window.
If you cut it out, it can still be used as a toilet, but it can be wiped much cleaner than a toilet.
"That coffin board is really crazy when it goes crazy.
There are so many portraits printed by their North and South grocery store in the past few days that they can almost fill up Chang'an City."
Another man looked at his hands.
The portrait said with a smile.
"Just fill it in, whether he can find these two people or not, they have nothing to do with us."
The man just said.
"Although these two people have nothing to do with us, the Acupuncture Shop on Hedong Road is closely related to us."
Another person next to him said.
"What does it matter?
You and I are neither women nor do we make clothes."
"This statement is absurd."
"Do you still remember the time when Luo Sanlang was making papyrus in Hedong?"
"What was the price of paper in Chang'an City a few years ago?
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
How much is the price of paper now?"
"The needle making this time is somewhat different from paper making.
The Taiyuan Guo family will soon prosper with this trend."
"I don't think so.
Even if they earn a little money, so what?
It's just a small family." "" A few people talked and entered a guest house.
After sitting down, they ordered wine and food and continued talking about the previous topic.
"Although the Guo family is a bit dilapidated right now, I heard that there are quite a few talented people in their family.
Now with the help of Luo Sanlang, they can accomplish something."
"Unlike some families, it doesn't matter if they are powerful right now.
If there are no talented people in the family, they will fall sooner or later."
"You are talking about the Qi family."
"Who else can be in his family?
Although the Qi family has two high-ranking officials, there is no successor.
The situation is so good that there is no one to take over.
It is really a joke to get someone like that to become the magistrate of Chang'an County. ” It is said that the Qi family and the Luo family do not have much hatred, but when someone in the court impeached Luo Yong, the Qi family also got involved, unlike the Wu family, and Wu Yu Shi was also fired because of Luo Yong's affair.
In such a situation, when Magistrate Qi encountered the case of Luo Siniang, whether it was from the perspective of being an official or from the perspective of family relations, he just handled it according to the law, but he did not live up to expectations.
When the Luo family tried to show off their prestige, it seemed that he didn't take Luo Yong seriously.
It's better now.
The saint is also dissatisfied with him.
He even wonders if the Qi family is also involved in what happened this time.
The two big brothers of their family must be uncomfortable at this time.
In addition, Luo Yong is back now, and with the coffin board's attitude of protecting the calf, this matter must not be let go lightly this time.
The position of Chang'an County Magistrate is not easy to sit in, and it is easy to get into trouble and get unlucky, but if you do well and win the favor of the saints and big shots in the court, your future career will be bright.
But not everyone has this opportunity.
There are only so many official positions in the court, and those important positions are all occupied.
Once a vacancy becomes vacant, the major families will inevitably have to fight for it. .
The last time the position of Chang'an County Magistrate was taken away by the Qi family, however, the Qi County Magistrate was unlucky.
Seeing that he had been sitting on the position of County Magistrate for more than two years, he would be replaced this time.
Man, but he insists on making such a fool of himself, and now he is in trouble, and he will be roasted on the fire.
These young men were quite gloating when talking about this incident, and they were all waiting to see how Luo Coffin Board would deal with him.
However, before Luo Yong could take any action, Aunt Luo, who was in the south of the Yangtze River, started fighting with the Qi family.
This time something like that happened to Siniang in Chang'an City.
When Aunt Luo heard the news, she was about to pack her bags and go back.
Then a day later, news came from Chang'an City that it was the saint who took Siniang under his wing.
The adopted daughter of Princess Pingyang became the princess.
Aunt Luo was a little undecided now.
Since Siniang was fine, it seemed useless to rush her back this time.
If Luo Yong was not in Chang'an City, even if she knew who wanted to harm their Luo family, Aunt Luo was a little The small businessman was afraid that she couldn't do anything to those people, but such a big thing happened this time.
Based on her understanding of Luo Yong, he would definitely go back.
Aunt Luo wrote a letter to her sister's restaurant in Chang'an City, asking the stewards in the shop to take care of Siniang and the others, and to pay attention to their own safety.
What's more, when Luo Yongruo returns to Chang'an City, he tells them to obey Luo Yong's instructions in everything.
Even if they sell off the entire sister's restaurant in Chang'an City, there is no need to be stingy.
If they want to come to Jiangnan by then, they will all come.
Jiangnan is developing, and if they don't want to come, Aunt Luo will arrange for them to go to the north and south to get groceries.

Aunt Luo told the stewards not to worry about their future, but to just help Luo Yong get over the current situation.
If the Luo family did not survive, Auntie's restaurant would not be able to survive.
As long as the Luo family still existed, they would have somewhere to go. .
After arranging things in Chang'an City, Aunt Luo rolled up her sleeves and started working with others.
The main reason why she decided to stay in Jiangnan this time was for this matter.
It’s a long story.
In the past two years, the technology of making cans has been continuously popularized.
Although it has not reached the level where ordinary people can do it, basically everyone in the aristocratic families in Chang'an City has obtained the prescription.
As a result, many large families set up orchards in Jiangnan, Huainan and other places, just to make a batch of canned food every year and transport them to Chang'an, Luoyang and other places for family consumption.
In addition to daily food, there are also gifts and gifts, and they can be taken at various banquets.
Come out and share with your guests.
It can be said that if there is any big family in the south these days that does not have an orchard and cannot make cans, then they are very out.
They don’t have much face when they go out to interact with others, and it doesn’t bother them when others show off to each other.
If things continue like this, they will have to be excluded from the circle.
In this environment, the Qi family also bought orchards in the south, one of which was in Wuxian County, Suzhou.
The person who can be arranged to run the orchard in the south will definitely not be an elite member of the family.
The Qi family who was sent to Wuxian County was not very good either.
He was very lustful.
In just over a year after arriving in Wuxian County, he had already got several concubines for himself.
He also treated the concubines very badly and beat them randomly when he got angry.
One of his concubines had worked as a day laborer in Ajie's restaurant for more than a month before he took her as a concubine.
At that time, Aunt Luo and the others were busy making canned food.
The shop was short of manpower, and the neighbors were busy.
He helped them introduce some women and girls to work as part-time workers, and the concubine of the Qi family was one of them.
This woman was very good at her job, but Aunt Luo also noticed that after two or three months, Ajie Restaurant needed to recruit one or two more permanent workers because its business was getting better and better.
At this time, Aunt Luo remembered her. , but unexpectedly, her distant relative who was engaged in raw silk trading on the streets of Wuxian County told Aunt Luo that she had been sold by Ye Niang to the Qi family as a concubine.
The couple from the raw silk shop are also kind-hearted.
When they talk about the girl from a distant relative of theirs, they are full of sadness.
They say that such a good girl, why don't they help her find a family where she can live a down-to-earth life?
The money given by the Qi family forced her to become a concubine.
He also said that the husband of the Qi family was not a good person.
He had only arrived in Wuxian County for a short time and already had several concubines for himself.
I heard that he was beaten and scolded very casually on weekdays.
When Aunt Luo heard about this, she felt very sad, but she had seen this kind of thing too many times.
Among the stewards of her sister's restaurant, there were also people who were born in concubines.
Aunt Luo cherished their talents and cherished their talents.
Money bought them out of their husband's family, and most of these people are relatively capable.
However, this relative of the raw silk shop is just a little girl who is not very enlightened.
There are too many people and things like this in the world.
How can Aunt Luo handle it?
Besides, she doesn’t want to have anything to do with the husband of the Qi family.
What kind of involvement, so in the end it was just a matter of hardening one's heart and pretending that one had never heard of it.
Who would have thought that the aunt didn't want to get involved with the Qi family, but the Qi family actually bullied her Luo family.
These big family trees have deep roots and cannot be easily shaken, but with Aunt Luo's strength, it will not be too difficult to chop off a branch.
This family has bullied the Luo family, how can they still swallow their anger?

So Aunt Luo tried her best to contact the distant relative of the raw silk shop owner, and told her that she wanted to do something.
If she was willing to help, Aunt Luo would take her away from the man named Qi, no matter how much money and effort it cost.
Get it out around you.
The woman named Yan'er agreed without thinking at that time.
With tears in her eyes, she begged Aunt Luo to buy her out and not let her be beaten to death by the husband of the Qi family.
Then that night, Yan'er annoyed Qi Silang and was beaten severely.
At night, she escaped from the Qi family's house with injuries all over her body and fled to Aunt Luo's sister's restaurant.
Aunt Luo took her in and invited a doctor to come over.
When the neighbors heard about it, some came to visit, and they all said that the Qi family was nothing.
Since so many people knew about this, Qi Silang naturally soon knew that Yan'er was with Aunt Luo.
Qi Silang asked his servants to look for Yan'er and take her back, but Yan'er refused to go back.
Aunt Luo said that she was injured, so why not raise her here for two days first, and then take her back?
She sent it back.
The servants were of low status, and since Aunt Luo said so, they had no choice but to go back and recover.
How could Qi Silang be willing to leave Yan'er outside in disgrace, living in Ajie's restaurant with all her injuries, with neighbors looking at her?
He didn't know how much gossip he would have to hear.
So that afternoon, Qi Silang went to his sister's restaurant in person to look for the person and asked Aunt Luo to hand him over.
Although Aunt Luo still stopped her, Yan'er was Qi Si's concubine after all, so she had no choice but to step aside.
However, Yan'er refused.
She didn't have enough shoes to wear, so she ran barefoot to the river behind the shop: "If you ask me to go back to your house and live in a life where pigs and dogs are no better than you, why don't you let me jump into the river and die?"
Forget it” "You jump!
If you have the ability, jump down now and die completely.
But if you still have breath, let's see how I deal with you then."
Yan'er was making such a fuss in front of the public.
Qi Si became angry with embarrassment and jumped in front of everyone.
The face was fierce.
Yan'er was also very fierce, and immediately jumped into the water with a "plop".
After entering the water, she didn't even struggle, and just sank straight down like a stone.
When Aunt Luo saw this, her heart was in her throat.
She just asked Yan'er to pretend to jump into the river, but she never thought that this silly woman would actually jump.
Dang even was very panicked and wished he could jump down and fish her out, but she didn't know how to swim.
Fortunately, the neighbors were very enthusiastic.
At that time, several people jumped down and fished Yan'er out within a short time.
Fortunately, she didn't fall into the water for long.
After she was fished out, she spit out some water and her breath was still there.
Aunt Luo hurriedly called for the doctor and took Yan'er to the shop to settle her.
At this time, Qi Si also said that he would take Yan'er back, but Aunt Luo and the elders of Wu County refused.
So, Yan'er stayed at her sister's restaurant.
She was already injured, but she jumped into the river again in the cold winter and was very sick for some time.
Aunt Luo felt guilty and invited the best doctor in Wu County to nurse Yan'er back to health and take good care of her every day.
However, Qi Si refused to give up and often asked his family members to come and harass him.
As time went by, not only everyone in Wuxian County knew about this, but also people in other places in Suzhou knew that there was Qi Silang in Wuxian County.
So He was the husband of the Qi family in Henan Province.
He was rich, ruthless, lustful and violent.
He spent money to buy women from poor families as concubines, but treated them like livestock.

After this, the Qi family's reputation in Suzhou was very bad.
Aunt Luo is ready for a long-term struggle.
Anyway, since Aunt Luo is here in Wu County, there is no place for the Qi family.
Unexpectedly, Qi Silang was really unsatisfactory.
He was scolded a few times in the street by the local elders in Wu County who disdained his behavior.
He couldn't stand it anymore.
He didn't ask what the family wanted, so he secretly sent them to the Qi family.
The orchard in Wuxian County was sold, and I packed my bags and prepared to go home.
Before leaving Wuxian County, Qi Silang made another stupid move.
He went to Sister's Restaurant to find someone for the last time, but Yan'er still refused to go with him, and Aunt Luo also said she would not let Yan'er go with him.
So Qi Silang said, since you want to protect her, then buy her with money.
As long as you can get five hundred taels of silver, I will give her to you.
Five hundred taels of silver is really a lot of money in this era.
Here in Wu County, ordinary people only spend dozens of pennies a month, and most of them are not copper coins, but raw silk grains instead.
At this time, it was not like there was so much foreign silver flowing into the Central Plains later.
Silver was very rare and the price of silver was very high.
For any merchant on Wuxian Street, five hundred taels was a huge sum of money.
However, Aunt Luo agreed.
She first went to the Chang'an merchants who had come to Jiangnan with her, and then to the Lishi merchants who collected tea in the Jiangnan area.
She scraped together 500 taels, and gave it to Qi Silang in exchange for Yan'er's freedom.
If these five hundred taels of silver were smashed, the Qi family's reputation in Jiangnan would be smashed to the ground and never be picked up again.
On both sides of the later canal, there has been a story that has always been circulated.
It tells the story of Aunt Luo who was generous and generous.
In order to save a poor woman who had worked as a day laborer in her shop from the tyrannical Qi Silang, she did not hesitate to spend 500 taels of silver.
So much.
In fact, if Qi Silang didn't ask for the five hundred taels and insisted on asking Aunt Luo for someone else, it would be very difficult for Aunt Luo.
In order to fulfill the promise between her and Yan'er, if she is forced to stay, it will inevitably be true.
This matter will even become a handle for the other party in the future struggle between the Luo family and the Qi family.
However, if it is useless, it is useless.
This Qi Silang proudly returned to his hometown with 500 taels of silver.
I wonder if his family will break his legs.
When Qi Silang's motorcade passed through Wuxian Street for the last time, Aunt Luo stood at the door of Ajie's restaurant, raising her hand to lightly dust the dust on her sleeves.
There wasn't much expression on her face, but her gaze was quite sharp.
The dog magistrate named Qi dared to ruin the reputation of the fourth mother of her family and detained an innocent woman in jail for two days.
She wanted to ask the Qi family to see if the woman named Luo was really that easy to handle.
