Around the end of the year, fewer and fewer people came to Changle County to sell sheep, and the canning and bacon workshops in the city also became idle.
For a time, these two workshops laid off many employees.
After working hard for these days, each of these people also earned some money.
In addition, it is difficult to find any jobs in the city now, so many people went home one after another to sharpen their needles, and they could earn as much as they wanted.
If you are with your family, your life will be more leisurely and comfortable.
There were also those who refused to go back, either carrying goods with others on the platform, or going to the cement workshop.
I heard that Magistrate Luo wanted to build a canal in their Changle County, which required a lot of cement, so the cement workshop needed manpower all year round.
If we talk about those caravans working as porters, now few people are willing to go there in the area around Changle County.
Going out is not only difficult but also dangerous.
In the past, some people went out to work as porters with others, but in the end they didn't.
Those who can come back, dead or alive, and where they are is not entirely dependent on others' words, and they cannot be found anyway.
"Although our Changle County is a small border town, in a remote and remote area, the porters here are now a little more expensive than elsewhere."
Some local people will also feel a sense of pride in this.
"It's a lot more expensive than the one in Jinchang."
“It’s more expensive than Dunhuang.”
"That can't be done" "Why not?
There are many porters in Dunhuang, and many families make a living from porters."
"I heard that some people went to the outside of the customs with others.
When Aye's son went out, he never came back.
The family's wife, children, and children were without the backbone of the family.
It was easy for the baby below to grow up.
When it got older, he also worked as a porter."
"I heard that there are also people who make a fortune."
"How many can there be?"
"" For the people of this era, survival is not easy, and they have seen too many bleak situations.
However, things have gotten better in recent years.
After all, there are not many wars.
Those people outside can sit and chat, but everyone in the government is under great pressure at this time.
The county has made so many canned muttons this year.
How to sell them in time, in the eyes of some officials, is almost impossible. things to do.
Let’s talk about how many canned mutton the canning workshop produced this year.
When the city wall was expanded last time, the wasteland that was brought in by many circles is now except for a few workshops and a small area of low-rent housing.
The rest are warehouses, and all the items in the warehouses are canned mutton. and bacon.
Those warehouses are huge in scale, and everyone is surprised when they go in for the first time.
They still can’t put it down.
I heard that in Changle County, even the prison was cleaned by the guards.
They carried cans in and packed them one by one.
The cans could fall and stack up to the roof, let alone those warehouses.
Luo Yong has been thinking about this issue all day recently.
Luo Erniang saw that he had to worry about it again, so she couldn't help but say a few words.
"You know better than to ask Si Niang not to take the county master too seriously from the beginning, but why do you forget about it when it comes to you?"
Although she said this, she didn't know in her heart that being a county magistrate and being a county head were two different things.
When Luo Yong became the head of the county, he shouldered responsibilities.
Although he seemed to be He is a smart person, but he never knows how to use his strength.
Luo Erniang has been doing business with people over the years and has met many different kinds of people.

However, it is precisely because she has met so many people that she feels that her brother's character is even more rare.
These complaints are nothing more than words of distress.
When this large amount of Eucommia gum was shipped to Changle County, if it was sold directly, the local market would be limited, and you might encounter some problems if you want to export it.
After all, the court restricted the export of Eucommia gum.
Although this Two years is not as harsh as before, but it is still a bit sensitive.
Coupled with the fact that the local mutton in Changle County is cheap and labor is not expensive, Luo Yong naturally thought of making canned mutton.
Doing so would not only bring profits to a large extent, but also provide many jobs and solve the surrounding problems.
It is difficult for herdsmen to sell mutton.
All in all, Luo Yong just chose a path that is relatively more beneficial to everyone.
If he had any idea of the sales of this batch of canned mutton, he didn't.
Even if he lived two lives, he was still just an ordinary person.
"At this moment, everyone is not short of oil and water.
In three to two months, when the price of mutton is high, people will eat vegetables, grains, dried meat, etc.
Then we will sell these cans."
The location of Changle County is really not good.
From Liangzhou and other places in the east to various countries in the Western Regions in the west, mutton is not a rare thing within a radius of thousands of miles.
"In my opinion, you can't make much money."
Er Niang was not very optimistic about their canned mutton business.
"Even if you earn less, you still make money."
Luo Yong does not regret his decision to make canned mutton.
After all, before the government makes money, he hopes that the local people can earn some money and every household can save something.
In this way, Many people will not die easily because of some natural disasters and man-made disasters.
"But, how long will it take before the canal can be repaired?"
Erniang sighed.
"Take your time.
Anyway, I don't want to go back to Chang'an City for a while."
Luo Yong smiled and said helplessly.
Last time, because of the incident involving Prince Gong Li Boyi, the relatives of the emperor in Chang'an City were very resistant to him.
Even if the emperor wanted to call him back, he would probably have to wait until the impact of this incident gradually faded away.
People in this era have a strong sense of clan, and even a person with a high status cannot not consider the feelings of his family members at all.
Luo Yong thought about it for the past few days and finally came to an idea.
If these canned muttons are sold this year and they don't have enough money to repair the canals, then they will work for another year next year.
If they still can't make enough money next year, then Continue the work the year after tomorrow.
"It's good if you can think like this."
Er Niang felt relieved after hearing what he said.
She was afraid that Luo Yong would think too much and hurt his body.
"I heard that someone from Yiwu went to the cashmere workshop to inspect the goods yesterday," Luo Yong asked her.
"I just looked at it."
Erniang said nonchalantly.
"I didn't buy it" Luo Yong asked.
"After picking for a long time, I only bought a few items."
Erniang shook her head.
"Someone will buy it after all."
Luo Yong said with a smile.
In places to the west and north of Changle County, most local people wear felt and linen.

Felt is made of wool, which is easier to obtain and cheaper than linen.
Therefore, most people in these places are interested in Woolen products are not of great interest and the market is limited.
However, after all, the cashmere sweaters produced by Luo Erniang and her cashmere workshop are exquisite and rich in color.
Over the past few years, they have accumulated more and more styles, and some foreigners outside the customs also prefer them.
"After spring begins, I will transport a batch of goods to Liangzhou."
After a while, Erniang said again.
"The warehouse over there is out of stock," Luo Yong asked her.
"Soon."
Erniang said: "I heard that Liangzhou City has been much more lively and prosperous than before in the past two years.
Hu merchants from all over the country and merchants from the Central Plains are buying and selling goods there.
Especially in the past two years, Baidiehua has appeared in Hexi, and there are merchants from the Central Plains.
Many people came over, but many of them were buying properties in the Liangzhou area and did not go past Yanzhi Mountain."
At that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established four counties in Hexi, from east to west, namely Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, and Dunhuang.
Wuwei County was the area around Liangzhou in the early Tang Dynasty.
Liangzhou used to be Ganzhou, and the state capital of Ganzhou was It's Zhangye.
There is Yanzhi Mountain between Liangzhou and Ganzhou.
Before the Sui Dynasty, most Hu merchants were unwilling to cross Yanzhi Mountain.
At that time, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty entertained envoys and merchants from various countries in the Western Regions at Yanzhi Mountain.
With the promise of many benefits, these Hu merchants were gradually attracted to the Central Plains.
The weather on Yanzhi Mountain is bad and changeable.
When Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty passed through Yanzhi Mountain that year, he encountered snow in June at Biandukou.
Most of the soldiers and entourage were frozen to death, and even Emperor Yang's sister was frozen to death.
Die there.
Nowadays, because of the convenience of the two cement roads, the prosperity of cashmere trade, and the emergence of white flowers in Hexi, many wealthy merchants from the Central Plains have come to Hexi.
Liangzhou City to the east of Yanzhi Mountain is the same.
There is a bustling scene, but in the west of Yanzhi Mountain, it is much deserted.
"I heard that the cement road on Longyou Road is about to be opened," Luo Yong said.
When he was chatting with some merchants from the east these days, they all said that the cement road in Hexi was almost completed, and now only a few sections of the road were not paved.
"It's coming soon."
Er Niang also said, "It should be repaired by the beginning of spring."
This side of the Hexi Corridor has a smaller population than the Central Plains.
When walking on the post road, you often see vast tracts of wilderness as far as the eye can see.
With few manpower and resources, harsh natural conditions, and untimely supply of money and silk from the court, one can imagine how difficult it was for Ding Chaoyi to pave this road.
"Finally the paving is almost done."
Luo Yong also breathed a sigh of relief for him.
"No."
Er Niang also sighed.
“The travel date has been decided” "About Qingming Festival."
Er Niang and the others are still cooperating with the Zhao family to transport goods this time.
The Zhao family has a business in Dunhuang and often has goods exchanges.
The porters needed to transport the goods this time were recruited by the Zhao family from Dunhuang.
They first transported a batch of cashmere products from Changle County to Liangzhou City, and then transported a batch of goods from the Zhao family firm from Liangzhou City.
Return to Dunhuang.
In this way, the Zhao family not only transported their own goods, but also earned a freight fee from Luo Erniang.
As for the money their family earned from selling goods in Dunhuang, most of them bought properties there, and a few Exchange it for gold and silver and take it back to Liangzhou to maintain the business.

"How to calculate the foot money?"
Luo Yong asked again smoothly.
"Thirty percent of the goods."
Er Niang replied.
