Chapter 393: Unsatisfactory


It is now the spring plowing season, and the government here is quite busy at this time of year.

In addition to the usual work of urging farmers to teach mulberry trees, there will also be some poor farmers borrowing seeds, farm tools, and cattle from the government.

This is also Customary.

Not everyone in Changle County is hard-working and honest, there are also those who are scoundrels, and there are also those who are not engaged in production.

Every year when spring plowing, summer harvesting and autumn harvesting come, the officials in the county will have a headache.

According to some local officials, they have been doing well in the past few years, that is to say, the coffin board of their Luo County magistrate can hold it down, and every household is living a decent life these days.

These people I was also afraid of being caught and put in the county jail.

I was only given a bowl of water and two flour cakes every day.

I was locked up for ten or twenty days and I was starved to death.

In some villages and towns far away from Changle County, there is still a saying that there was a fight between a monk and a Taoist priest in Changle County earlier, and Luo Coffin Board sent someone to kill them without saying a word.

He was arrested and held in prison for half a month.

He also said that the Taoist priest's magic was so powerful that even the big shots in Jinchang City had invited him to his home to perform rituals.

He also said that the monk was of such high origin that he usually made friends with the scholars in Dunhuang and Jinchang.

He is a noble man and so on.

That was when he was imprisoned and given only a bowl of water and two cakes every day, and no care at all.

He was released after half a month, and he was so hungry that his face turned yellow.

It is said that a year ago, Luo Yong went to a town to promote the cultivation of white folded flowers.

A big landowner in the town invited him to dinner.

During the dinner, someone mentioned this matter and asked Luo Yong if he had really arrested the monk and Taoist priest.

Luo Yong said: "No, when my people passed by, they all ran away."

The landowner really respected and loved their coffin board, the county magistrate, but he was afraid that he would offend the important people by being aggressive, so he advised: "If this kind of thing happens in the future, you should just pretend that you don't know about it.

Those people's It’s not an easy journey.”

Luo Yong didn't take it seriously: "What can we do?

Without rules, there would be nothing."

The landlord was silent, thinking about it, if this coffin board didn't have this kind of character, how could he have brought himself from Chang'an City to their borderland in Changle County.

But even if the God of Wealth has a bad temper and doesn't know how to adapt, then he is still the God of Wealth.

Those Chang'an people don't want to be the best, they often make people happy before it's too late.

Ever since Da Luo used to be used, their life has been getting better and better day by day.

Not to mention the very bright biogas lamps that are new in Changle County this time, and the cashmere and facial tissue workshops of the magistrate's sister's family in Luo County.

I don't know how much money the women in the county have made.

When the white flowers were harvested in autumn last year, many people from Dunhuang and Jinchang came to Changle County to compete for supplies.

As a result, a few months later, I heard that the price of ordinary white folded cloth shipped to Chang'an City had dropped a lot compared to last year.

If the profit was not high enough after being transported thousands of miles, it would not be a good deal.

The situation in Liangzhou is relatively better.

It is closer to Chang'an City, and there are many big families building cloth mills in Liangzhou, and the technology is more advanced.

Dunhuang is better in terms of geographical location and technical level.

Not dominant.

In their area, only Naluo Erniang's facial scarf workshop has the most momentum.

Earlier, when the first batch of goods went to Chang'an City, they actually made money.

Later, many large and small workshops nearby chose to sell their own inventory.

Sell ​​them the white folded flowers, and as long as the price is negotiated, they will deliver the goods.

Nowadays, in every village and town under the jurisdiction of Changle County, there are women working in the hijab workshops.

The hijabs have patterns on them.

At the beginning, they had to memorize the drawings, but it cost these women their lives.

Fortunately, as long as you learn a pattern, you can keep knitting.

Although the pattern is difficult, a face towel is only that big after all.

As long as you really put your mind into it, few people can't learn it.

I heard that there are some smart women in the workshop who can learn new tricks quickly.

Their wages are also high, because there are subsidies for making new tricks, but not for old ones.

No matter how much you earn or how little you earn, you still make money.

Even the stupidest woman who can only earn a few dozen cents a month will have to be much tougher than before when speaking at home.

These women work in the workshops during the day, and can go out to stroll on the streets at night.

Those who have more money can buy some hair powder and the like.

Since the biogas lamps were lit in Changle County, many people from the surrounding areas came to see what happened, which made the nights in Changle County more and more lively.

Many vendors from the Dunhuang and Jinchang areas also come here to set up night markets.

There are also a lot of Yiwu and Jinchang people doing business here.

All kinds of miscellaneous beards are common, and there are even some Kunlun people who have just started to learn how to do business. .

Because Changle County is located in a remote area, most of the local and surrounding areas are not wealthy, which makes the prices here relatively low, and the things in the night market are very cheap.

There are also some defective products in Luo Erniang's cashmere workshop and facial tissue workshop from time to time.

In the past, most of these defective products were consumed internally and sold to employees in their own workshops.

Recently, they have also taken some goods to the night market at low prices.

The sales attracted many people rushing to buy them.

Such a brightly colored face towel, with only a slight mistake in the pattern, was sold for three cents a piece.

As long as a slightly affluent family in this city would be willing to buy it for a girl at home.

There are also those cashmere products.

As long as the price is cheap, there is no such thing as too much.

Everyone in the family, old and young, must wear them.

The cashmere sweater pants are light and warm.

Wearing them under a coat in winter is much better than wearing them in several layers before.

Coarse clothes are even warmer.

Changle County is very lively at night, and bulk goods often come in and out during the day, including white flowers, cashmere, iron, coal, wood, grain, etc.

Recently, there is also a kind of thorium stone that is used to make biogas lamps. , often transported from Yiwu in truckloads.

Most of what was shipped out were various finished products, such as canned mutton, wooden rail carriages, threshing machines, swallows, needles, sauces, liquor, tea, cashmere products, face towels, etc.

Nowadays, in this area to the west of Longyou Road, whenever Changle County is mentioned, everyone will say that it is a very lively small town, and the people in the city are quite wealthy.

In this barren, isolated and sparsely populated era, a lively and prosperous life is what many people yearn for.

As a result, people of all colors continued to flow to Changle County.

These people were both consumers and laborers, and some brought funds.

In the days after the biogas lamps were put into use, Changle County was obviously much more lively than before, and it was becoming more and more lively.

With the gradual opening of several subsequent biogas pools, biogas lamps were also lit in the workshop area, and then they began to be popularized in residential areas.

A lamp only costs three cents per month for gas, which is cheaper than using an oil lamp. , the people in the city are all unwilling to do so.

In the current stage of large-scale promotion, there is no need to charge an account opening fee, and a biogas lamp will be given as a gift.

Logically speaking, a vigorous promotion like this would definitely cost a lot of money, but the Changle County Government did not suffer any loss.

The reason is that their government holds a lot of land.

Since the promotion of biogas lamps, land prices in the county have skyrocketed, and there are many buyers.

After selling several pieces of land, the Changle County government has money.

Luo Yong asked people to keep accounts carefully, and every income and expenditure must be calculated clearly.

If there is any extra money, it must be saved for the purpose of repairing canals.

After resting for half a month, Du Gou and Xia Yan began to go out to survey the terrain.

Together with the officials who had been responsible for this work in the past, once they left the city, they were often not allowed to return for several days.

Since the introduction of biogas lamps in Changle County, people from surrounding places have come to inquire, as well as those looking for cooperation.

They probably want Luo Yong to arrange some manpower to repair biogas pools and deploy biogas in their places. lamp.

Changle County is about to develop now, but Luo Yongyong is unwilling to do so.

He reasoned that the biogas lamp technology is not yet mature, and he will wait for his side to study it, and then promote it to surrounding areas when the technology is mature.

Guo Xiaoke also wanted this biogas lamp technology, but this time Luo Yong didn't buy his account at all, and Tang Jian ignored him.

So he went to Chen Jiao and asked him how he became a Shangguan and how he continued to work.

The officials under him can't control them any more.

Chen Jiao was very depressed, thinking that you, the immediate boss of Longyou Dao and Anxi Protectorate, could not press the coffin board, so now you are here to make me uncomfortable.

In fact, Chen Jiao wanted to leave early in the morning, but the transfer order refused to come down, so he asked his tribesmen and friends to help inquire.

The people in the Ministry of Officials said that Na Luo Yong was a bit of a thorn, but he also had some abilities.

The saint cherished his talents just because he wanted him to shine in Longxi and didn't want to cause any more trouble.

No, look at Chen Jiao got along very well with him, and he had no intention of replacing them for the time being.

Chen Jiao: Who gets along so well with that coffin board?

On this side, Guo Xiaoke couldn't suppress Luo Yong, so he wrote a document and went to Chang'an City to complain.

The emperor was not satisfied with Guo Xiaoke's achievements in Gaochang in the past two years.

The reason why he originally asked Guo Xiaoke to be the Anxi Protector was mainly to let him go to the border to fight.

As a result, Guo Xiaoke had been gone for so long, and the battle was a If he didn't fight, he would just call people to the mountains to dig for ore all day long.

This can't be entirely blamed on Guo Xiaoke.

For things like war, you have to be famous.

The current Longxi area of ​​the Tang Dynasty is extremely friendly with the small countries in the west.

Businessmen come and go every day to buy and sell goods.

Earlier, they The few small countries we are targeting are now busy with development and are not causing trouble at all.

There is also the Yanqi Kingdom, which was quite powerful before.

Now they have also sent envoys to Chang'an to express their determination to draw a clear line with the Turks and show their great respect and admiration for the Central Plains Dynasty.

That's it.

You still have the nerve to send troops to fight him?

The emperor recently couldn't help but start to reflect on whether he was right or wrong when he asked Luo Yong to go to Changle County.

A few days later, Luo Yong's paperwork also arrived.

Along with the paperwork, there was a box of lanterns, lampshades, and biogas lamps.

There is no biogas here in Chang'an City, so the biogas lanterns were sent here to show them that those lanterns and lampshades are useful.

When a candle is lit in the lantern, the burning of the candle will also generate heat, causing the thorium oxide-coated mesh inside the lantern to emit strong light.

The lampshade is placed on the holder of the oil lamp.

"That's not bad."

The emperor said, "Let me find some thorium stones and make more lanterns and lampshades for use in the palace."

"Here."

Some people watched the emperor's performance in the past few days and couldn't help but secretly speculate in their hearts.

"The saint doesn't seem to like the lanterns and lampshades sent from Changle County very much."

When facing their own clansmen and personal friends, they will also communicate and discuss this matter.

"Probably not what I love in my heart."

Someone said.

As an ambitious emperor, he naturally wanted to expand his territory and expand his ambitions.

Although the things Luo Yong did were good, they were not what he wanted.

This is like when he wanted to eat canned lychees one day, but the palace attendant said that there were no canned lychees, and brought him a bowl of canned oranges.

Although the taste was not bad, it was not to his liking.

The document that was sent along with this box of lantern shades stated the identification and usage of thorium oxide.

Luo Yong also said in this document that the lampshades of the lanterns they are making now are not bright enough.

He heard that there is a method of burning colored glaze in the Western Regions.

If that colored glaze can be used as lampshades, then the lamps made in the future will definitely be very bright.

It was bright, so he planned to organize a team to go to the Western Regions to find a way to make colored glaze.

The emperor thought for a moment and concluded that it was correct.

It had been some time since Changle Academy had been established.

It was almost time for the young people in the academy to go to the Western Regions. gd1806102:
