The governor of Yizhou is a member of the original Yiwu royal family.
He is said to be a governor, and he is almost like a king here in Yizhou.
When King Yiwu came to surrender when Li Shimin ascended the throne, the Li Tang Dynasty treated him favorably, allowing him to retain privileges to a considerable extent.
The main interference and management of Yizhou by the imperial court was to select those who were close to the Tang Dynasty.
A member of the Yiwu royal family of the dynasty, he was named the governor.
The governor of the state must obey the imperial orders and go to Chang'an City regularly to appeal for office.
However, Longxi is too far away from Chang'an City.
The sage does not require them to go to Beijing every year.
For example, Chen Jiao, the governor of Guazhou, has not been there for two or three years now.
Having entered the capital, let alone a place like Yizhou, the journey is longer and the situation is more special.
I heard that the Tang Dynasty was currently building a road in Longxi, all the way from Liangzhou to Dunhuang.
From Liangzhou City, there were two cement roads leading to the Central Plains.
One went south to Chang'an, and the other passed through the Guannai Road and passed Mengmen Pass.
Then it goes south from Hedong Road to Chang'an and is connected to several waterways in the Central Plains.
Governor Yiwu and his family were also very excited.
If they could build a cement road from Yiwu to connect the two cement roads stretching for tens of thousands of miles, it would be really exciting to think about the grand exchanges of merchants in the future.
People are fascinated.
Infinitely good literature, all in Jinjiang Literature City It's a pity that they don't have the technology to make cement.
Secondly, the investment in road construction is too high.
The road from Yiwu City to the Changle Jinchang area is quite long, and it is mostly on the deserted slopes of the Gobi.
It is not easy to supply supplies.
If we want to build a concrete road about a mile wide in such a place, I really don’t know how much manpower and material resources it will take.
At this time, Luo Liangliang came to persuade them to build the road and hurry up before the Gaochang people.
If those merchants thought this road was easy to travel, they would definitely visit here every year in the future.
The governor of Yiwu complained to Luo Yong: "Why don't I want to build a road?
It's just that there are few people in Yiwu, the land is sparse, and there is not much financial resources.
How can I build such a long cement road?"
"How can the governor hesitate at such a critical juncture?"
Luo Yongyou said: "When the road to Gaochang is built, the merchants will spread word of mouth and say that this road is easier to travel.
Who will come to Yiwu in the future?"
But the governor of Yiwu said: "I also know this truth, but I, Yiwu, have no money or food, so I really don't have the ability."
Luo Yong sighed and said: "Although it costs a lot to build this road, it is worth the effort.
It is related to the prosperity and decline of your Yiwu realm."
The governor of Yiwu also sighed, and said: "I wonder if Sanlang can help me talk to the saint about this matter.
If I can't get help from the court, it will be really difficult for me, Yiwu, to build this road in such a remote place with my own efforts. " It turned out that these Yiwu people had this idea.
They heard that Luo Yong was favored by the emperor.
Although he came from an ordinary peasant family, he became an official early and was quite famous in Chang'an City.
Even Prince Gong was attracted by him.
Exiled.
So they wanted Luo Yong to help speak in front of the emperor and let the Central Plains Dynasty spend money and effort to build this road.
Didn't the imperial court always want to strengthen the control and management of Yizhou?
They were resistant to other things. , but regarding road construction, considering the convenience and economic benefits this road will bring to Yiwu, they can still accept it.
""Luo Yong smiled and glanced at the Yiwu governor, wondering what good things this young man had in mind.
As far as Izhou is concerned, they don't pay much tax all year round.
Now it's better.

When it comes time to build roads, they want the court to help.
Where does the court's money and food come from?
It's not paid by the people in other places.
Taxes.
This plan they made is, to put it bluntly, they want to take advantage of the people in other places.
This is so unkind.
Luo Yong smiled and said to the governor of Yizhou: "I heard that the saint wanted to build a road in Longxi earlier, and there was already a lot of controversy in the court.
This year, I heard that there is some unrest over Xue Yantuo, and maybe there will be another With the war going on, it’s probably very difficult to get the court to help build roads in this situation.” "" The governor of Yizhou stopped talking.
He had also heard the news about Xue Yantuo earlier.
It was a long way there and the news was not delivered in time.
He didn’t know what the situation was like there now and whether there was a fight or not.
As Luo Yong said, right now It is really impossible to expect the imperial court to help them build roads under such circumstances.
"I wonder why Saburo came here this time?"
After a while, the governor of Yizhou asked Luo Yong again.
"Young Master also knows that the water and grass in our Changle County are not fertile and the land is barren.
Planting grain often yields poor results.
Planting those white folded flowers is suitable, but in this case, food will become a problem.
I heard that Yizhou is very capable of producing food.
Come and see what happens."
Luo Yong cupped his hands to the governor of Nayi Prefecture and said.
When the governor of Yizhou heard that Luo Yong wanted to transport grain from them, it seemed that there was still something to be done with the road construction, so he felt a little happy again, and he was not as humble as before and said he was poor.
Not to mention that there are few people and the land is thin: "To tell you the truth, I can produce some grain in Yizhou, but the location is not good.
There is no village or shop in the area.
Even if I have a few grains, I can't sell them at a good price."
"Of course it's much better than Changle."
Luo Yong also said the same.
"I wonder if Sanlang can solve the urgent need of Yizhou regarding road construction?"
asked the governor of Yizhou.
I heard that the Luo family is also very rich, especially Luo Erniang, who was famously wealthy in Liangzhou City in the past.
Now she still has a batch of orbs in her hand.
Some people have bought goods from Luo in the past.
Er Niang got a few from him, which were really rare things.
Now those beads are hidden in a box in his bedroom, and he takes them out to play with from time to time.
"When it comes to money and food, I can't help you much."
Luo Yong said with a smile: "There is a disciple named Hengzhi under me.
He tinkered with a rare thing some time ago.
After I saw it, I felt that if I gave this thing to you Yiwu, it might be of some use."
The governor of Yizhou raised his eyebrows and asked: "What is it?"
Luo Yong turned his head and glanced at Qiao Junlin, and then Qiao Junlin took off the baggage on his back, took out a flat wooden box from the baggage, put the box on the table, and opened it smoothly: "Please take a look."
The governor of Yizhou leaned his neck forward slightly, lowered his eyes briefly, and then couldn't look away anymore.
He couldn't help but get closer and take a closer look.
I saw two tracks paved with two thin wooden strips inside the wooden box.
There was also a carriage on the track.
The two wheels of the carriage were placed on the track.
I stretched out my hand and pushed it gently.

Just slid out on the track, very smooth and light "What Sanlang means is that he wants me to build a road like this," the governor of Yizhou looked up at Luo Yong and asked.
"Exactly."
Luo Yong smiled and replied: "Building that concrete road really requires a lot of effort and requires too much money and food.
If we just build one such road, I think with Yiwu's financial resources, there should be no problem. " In fact, Yiwu is quite wealthy, has a large oasis, and is located on the commercial road.
Although it is a state of the Tang Dynasty, due to its political uniqueness, it has not paid many taxes throughout the year.
This is For more than ten years, I have never heard of any natural or man-made disasters here.
The family of Governor Yiwu must be extremely rich, how could they have no money.
"If this road is built, I wonder if it will really be useful."
If it were like this, just setting up a wooden rail would not be a huge waste of money.
They have a large forest in Illinois, so just cut down some trees and use it.
"Hearing is false and seeing is true.
Is there anything wrong with observing the things in this box?"
Luo Yong said to him.
"It looks really good."
The governor of Yizhou was really excited at this time.
The carriage moved on the wooden rails and was so light.
If it was hitched to a fast horse, it would run very fast.
How fast and very smooth.
"If the wooden rails can be covered with a layer of iron sheet, the effect will be even better."
Luo Yong said.
"Iron Skin" Na Yizhou Governor heard this and was very surprised: "How can you leave such a valuable thing in the wild?
What will you do if someone takes it away?"
Luo Yong: "" Indeed, the price of iron is still too expensive at this time, and it is unrealistic to build railway tracks at this time, so he thought of wooden tracks.
It is said that in the seventeenth century, some coal mining areas in England were distributed with wooden tracks.
The wooden tracks, which were as dense as spider webs, were not gradually replaced by railway tracks until the mining and smelting industry became more and more developed.
After this conversation, the governor of Yizhou and his family received Luo Yong very warmly and treated them like distinguished guests.
They not only provided them with luxurious and comfortable residences, but also arranged for servants and maids to serve them.
When Luo Yong has nothing to do, he likes to wander on the streets of Yiwu.
He often chats with local merchants for most of the day or even the whole day.
Because he is a kind-hearted, well-informed and generous man, and he is the magistrate of Changle County, and he has connections in Chang'an City, so most of the local merchants in Yiwu are willing to do business with him.
Luo Yong asked When they inquire about information, they often get twice the result with half the effort.
Infinitely good literature, all in Jinjiang Literature City A few days later, Luo Yong and others returned to Changle County, and soon Yizhou sent a group of officials and craftsmen to Changle County with money to learn the laying of wooden tracks and wooden rail cars. of built.
As for the learning method, it is very simple, that is, start laying tracks in an open space outside Changle County and lay them all the way to Jinchang, and accumulate experience by discovering and solving problems in practice.
Infinitely good literature, all in Jinjiang Literature City
When laying wooden tracks, there will also be some places where cement is needed.
Adding cement can greatly increase the laying speed.
Luo Yong was also very generous this time and directly gave them the recipe for burning yellow cement that he had on hand.
Burning cement is similar to making tofu, and you earn hard money.
When the cotton planting industry in Changle County develops, there will probably be very few people willing to work in cement workshops to earn money.
At the moment, paving the road is more important.
If the rail transportation to Yizhou is opened, then not only the food problem in Changle County will be greatly alleviated, but the energy problem will also be solved.
The intensive and frequent exchanges between merchants will inevitably drive economic development, and then there will be no need to worry about not making money.
