Speaking of wooden tracks, the wooden track from Chang'an City to Luoyang has now been replaced by a railway track.
It is not made of fine iron from the inside to the outside, but the wood is wrapped with fine iron sheets.
In the past few months, the saint was making arrangements to send troops to Goguryeo, and the railway track from Chang'an to Luoyang had become extremely busy.
Cars come and go every day, and some of the cars carry very heavy goods, but the rails are strong and there is no damage.
Iron is very expensive in this era.
When the court was building the two railway tracks, it really spent a lot of money.
Now it seems that it is very worthwhile.
Guo Xiaoke on the Hexi side also heard about the railway track, and he felt a little envious.
When the iron mines opened here, he might be able to build the two railway tracks.
Although he doesn't know how long he can be the governor of Hexi Province, he can move his family here and guard an iron mine, which is no better than guarding those acres of fields in the Central Plains.
In order to mine and sell the ore, Guo Duhu has been racking his brains recently.
Road construction is necessary.
There are also documents sent by the court in the past two days.
There is a war in Jiaodong, and they in Hexi should also be more vigilant.
The other small countries were fine.
They were all obsessed with money, and they had no intention of fighting.
They were just afraid of a surprise attack by the Turks.
However, vigilance is vigilance, but it cannot block all business routes.
If he wants to open a mine, he must have some capital.
The financial resources have been blocked.
Where can he get money then.
Fortunately, his eldest son Guo Daizhao is now getting older and can handle things.
He is his right-hand man.
When the time comes, he will be left to him to organize the mining.
He, Guo Xiaoke, is guarding Gaochang City to see if the Turks dare to attack.
It would be best if they dare to come.
Not only to chase them all the way to their home base, but also to at least grab some good horses and coolies to start mining and transportation.
Mines require a lot of horses to be absent from work.
For the iron mine, Guo Xiaoke also spent a lot of money this time.
When he said that he wanted to build roads, everyone in Jiuquan, Zhangye, and Liangzhou cried out for poverty.
Forget it, Jiuquan was not rich to begin with.
The track in front of it had just been laid, and they were indeed a little unable to do what they wanted.
Zhangye and Liangzhou, a place with so much money and water, even called him poor and refused to give him money.
However, even if he was dissatisfied, the governors of the two places were not from low backgrounds.
Although Guo Xiaoke had a higher official position than them, he was from a low background and did not have many connections in the court.
He did not dare to offend these nobles.
Besides, mining was still the most important thing at the moment, so it was best not to cause problems, so Guo Duhu had no choice but to take out a lot of money this time.
It was just in time to collect the autumn tax, and there were a lot of merchants coming and going during this season, so he did have some money on hand.
Before he could warm it up, he threw it at Zhangye and Liangzhou.
Went.
Unlike Luo Yong's disciples who made profits through production and trading, Guo Xiaoke looked forward to fighting whenever he was short of money.
For this reckless general, there was nothing in the world that was more convenient and faster than fighting.
There are many channels for incoming money.
However, his hope was in vain, and it was of no use.
If others did not fight with him, he had to consider international public opinion and could not send troops rashly.

He did not realize that the saint wanted to attack Goguryeo this time, and it was also through the combined efforts of Goguryeo and Baekje.
The reason for attacking Silla.
To build such a long wooden track, a section of which had to go over Yanzhi Mountain, the money and silk Guo Xiaoke had on hand was obviously not enough.
For this purpose, he also raised some money from local gentry and merchants in Hexi.
Not to mention others in Changle County, Luo Erniang alone made a lot of money.
Luo Erniang currently has two workshops, one in Liangzhou and one in Changle.
The construction of this wooden track will be of great benefit to her.
And the money is not in vain.
Anyone who has paid for the road construction this time will have a lot of convenience in walking and transporting goods on this wooden track in the future.
Luo Erniang also hoped that if the wooden track from Liangzhou City to Chang'an City could be built, their goods would be transported to the Central Plains continuously.
When Luo Yong opens another north-south grocery store in Changle County, the goods from the Central Plains will also be transported to Changle County.
Nowadays, although many workshops have been opened in Changle County, compared with Chang'an City, the variety of goods is still too small.
Luo Yong also wrote to Siniang to see if there were any extra staff in her shop, whether they were cooking chefs or shop assistants, as long as they were willing to come to Changle County, they could get promotions and raises.
That's for sure.
After all, Chang'an City is prosperous, and it is much safer than the border areas in Changle County.
Generally, those who were born and raised in Chang'an City do not want to leave even if they are faced with the temptation of promotion and salary increase at this time.
On the other hand, some of the children hired from Xing Er had grown up a lot in the past few years.
Some of them grew up quickly and precociously, almost to the point of being young adults.
Those children of the past have now penetrated into all aspects of groceries in the north and south.
Some work as clerks in the front, some work as warehouse managers in the back, some have learned how to cook, and some go out to buy goods with them.
Relatively speaking, they don't have much nostalgia for Chang'an City.
On the contrary, because they have lived at the bottom of society since childhood, their desire to get ahead is more urgent than ordinary people.
I heard that you can get a promotion and salary increase if you go to the branch in Changle County, and considering that the Hexi branch has developed very rapidly in recent years, they discussed with each other that they should go to Changle County to make a career.
Xing Er is also very supportive of this matter.
As time goes by year by year, those children in the past are getting older.
Xing Er does not look as young as before, and he is less energetic than before. , my temper is much better than a few years ago.
Because he has been adopting orphans in Chang'an City, he has gradually gained some fame throughout Chang'an City over the years.
From time to time, kind-hearted rich people will send him some food and cloth, and some people even wrote a few poems to praise him.
His righteous deed.
There were one or two songs that were really written in a disgusting way, praising Xing Er as if he were a Bodhisattva, and the children who worked in Bei Nan Grocery felt very embarrassed when they heard it.
In the past, when life was difficult, Xing Er often led them to climb over the walls in the middle of the night and steal chickens and pull vegetables from the courtyards of wealthy people.
"It's better not to talk about these unfortunate things.
Wait until he hears you and see if he doesn't make you more anxious."
Xing Er, a person who used to look very tough and relatively shameless, unexpectedly actually really likes to hear people praise him.
He had those few poems written down and posted in the main room, and he would ask for them from time to time.
Ask those children who are just learning to read to read it out and listen to it.
It is very useful and enjoyable.
"What are you afraid of?
I'll be leaving in two days."
"Don't say these are useless, your clothes are all packed."
"I should make two more winter coats."
"Why do you do that?
I only have these two things to wear.
If they are not enough, go to Longyou Road and buy them.
They are cheap over there."

"Don't wear them on the road.
It will be winter soon.
If you don't prepare your own winter clothes, don't try to steal mine to wear them."
"Who wants to steal your shabby clothes?"
"Last time you put your underwear on the fire, did you burn the collar?
Did you take mine to wear?
You have an extra one on weekdays.
Why did you come to get mine at that time?"
"Look at how long-winded you are."
"You are so stingy that you are not willing to buy even one more piece of clothing."
"Hey, stop arguing."
"He just got used to it in the past and can't change it for a while."
"It's been several years."
"I don't think he can change in his lifetime."
"Stop the quarrel, stop the quarrel, what a big deal" "Should I buy some ointment for bruises and wear it?"
As they were about to set off in a few days, each of these young men was preparing their luggage.
After talking about clothes, some people said they were going to buy medicine.
"Hey, Sun Simiao's disciple has been measuring people's blood pressure in the market these days.
Why don't we also go and measure his blood pressure?
If there is anything wrong, we can buy the medicine in advance."
Someone suggested.
"I heard it's a problem only experienced by older people."
"That's not necessarily the case.
I heard someone say in the shop two days ago that there is a young lady in Anyifang who is only fifteen or sixteen years old and not yet married.
When I checked her blood pressure, it was higher than that of her mother-in-law. " “real or fake” "Really, I heard it really" "Tsk, I don't know what the problem is with high blood pressure.
I never heard of it in the early years."
"Since they are Sun Simiao's disciples, they will never bluff anyone."
"And the one who was found to have high blood pressure took their medicine and got an injection.
Sure enough, he got much better."
"Then let's go check it out tomorrow."
"Let's go.
Anyway, I don't have to work for these two days.
I just want to go shopping on the street and buy some delicious food." "" These young people were talking about taking blood pressure.
In the palace, when the saint favored a concubine that night, the concubine told him that he had been feeling dizzy for the past two days.
Could it be that he was getting older?
I also had high blood pressure.
To be honest, the concubine is not yet thirty this year, so she is not too old.
The reason why she said this is to have more common topics with the emperor.
After all, Li Shimin is also forty-six or seventeen this year.
On the second day, the saint indeed ordered the palace servants to invite two disciples of Sun Simiao into the palace to check the concubine's blood pressure, and he also checked the blood pressure himself.
As a result, after this investigation, the concubine was fine, but the emperor was found to have high blood pressure.
"My blood pressure is very high" The old emperor squinted his eyes and looked at the blood pressure measuring device that Sun Simiao and the others had made in their own way, but he couldn't see any clues.
He only felt that there was something red inside the instrument covered with oil paper.
When he measured it for his concubine just now, the height of the thing was only about half of his current height.
He vaguely felt that his problem seemed to be It's serious.

"It is indeed high blood pressure, which is much higher than that of ordinary people."
One of Sun Simiao's disciples replied. "" This ancient wise king had never heard of the disease of high blood pressure before.
When he was found to have high blood pressure, he felt confused for a while, as if he had a terminal illness. gd1806102:
