Luo Yong was worried about the safety and living conditions of the herdsmen outside the city, but the herdsmen themselves didn't think there was any problem.
As for danger, it is much more dangerous on the grassland and Gobi than here.
Except for the slight inconvenience of fetching water, everything else is quite good.
Many people are reluctant to leave after selling their sheep, so they stay here.
Most of the herdsmen's lives are not as sophisticated as those of the Han people.
At this time, many herdsmen have money on hand after selling their sheep, which they can spend more easily, so many hawkers carry their burdens and go to them to do business.
Many people in the city said that the herdsmen did not work every day, but were too lazy to even cook.
Many families bought cooking cakes directly from vendors from Jinchang for their meals, and it was like that every day. eat.
Changle County has a small population and many workshops.
Many people work in the workshops.
There are not that many local vendors.
However, many people from the Dunhuang Jinchang area come to them to do business.
Especially Jinchang, because it is close, the city there is larger, the population is large, but there are not so many places to make money, so now many people from Jinchang come to Changle County to make money.
Most of the Jinchang people who sell cooking cakes are familiar with each other.
This autumn, when the white flowers were harvested in Changle County, many families, old and young, went to the fields together, and they were so busy all day long that they could not even eat.
No time to cook.
At that time, some people from Jinchang came to sell cooking pancakes for a penny.
They were made of thick flour and filled with canned mutton and some seasonal vegetables.
At that time, Changle County had a good time.
There is a batch of canned mutton on clearance, and the price is very low.
It's winter now, so they no longer use canned mutton.
Instead, they use fresh mutton as stuffing, add some onions, garlic, dried beans, etc., and mix some sauces sold in Changle County.
They cost three for a penny.
It is very tasty and delicious.
Some herdsmen outside the city like it very much and want to eat it every day.
Some herdsmen also said that they felt that Jinchang people were more hard-working and more able to endure hardship than Changle people.
Changle people were confused.
These nomads who were tired even entering the workshop had the nerve to talk to them about hard work and hard work.
Luo Yong sometimes walks on the street and often encounters those piles of people.
He doesn't know where they come from, but they are just talking to each other.
They mainly try to suppress each other and praise themselves.
Sometimes they shout loudly, but Generally, as long as Luo Yong doesn't take action, they won't care.
Recently, several people from Gaochang announced in the city that there was an eminent monk who had returned from Tianzhu and was preaching in their Gaochang area.
They also praised the eminent monk to the point where he was famous in the sky and on the earth.
Many people just thought that they were bragging.
Not seriously.
Someone told Luo Yong this, but they didn't believe it.
They just said that those people in Gaochang talked about it all day long, praising their place in Gaochang as being like a Buddhist holy land.
Luo Yong said that what the eminent monk said was mostly true, and he also said that if the eminent monk passed through Changle County some time ago, he should treat them with courtesy.
The eminent monk they are talking about here is Master Xuanzang.
Counting the time, he should indeed be back from India at this time.
In the original history, this year when he returned to Gaochang from India all the way, he planned to fulfill the promise he made to Qu Wentai and repay him for his kindness to him in the past.
However, by that time, the Gaochang Kingdom had been destroyed, and Qu Wentai Also already dead.
Today, the Gaochang Kingdom still no longer exists, but fortunately Gaochang is still the same Gaochang.
The Qu family is still there, and Qu Wentai is still alive.

I heard that he has been planting pumpkins, chanting sutras and meditating over the years, and his body has also improved.
Quite tough.
Recalling the battle that nearly took place between the Tang Dynasty and Gaochang, Luo Yong couldn't help but think of the young man named Chen Ji.
He wondered how he was doing now.
At that time, Luo Yong cut out a sentence from a book in his own space and asked Chen Ji to hand it over to a Gaochang monk, pretending to be a revelation from the Buddha, making the Gaochang royal family at that time aware of the seriousness of the situation.
Qu Wentai His son Qu Zhisheng rushed to Chang'an City at the last moment and decided to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, thus averting the disaster.
In the blink of an eye, several years have passed.
Last year, Aunt Luo also mentioned Chen Ji in a letter she wrote to Luo Yong, saying that this person was very useful.
By the way, two years ago, Chen Ji, Aunt Luo and others went to Jiangnan to open up markets, because Chen Ji was able to read and write, had martial arts skills, and knew how to deal with people, plus Auntie trusted his people.
Gradually, he became a core member of Ajie Restaurant.
Now that Aunt Luo returned to Chang'an City, he still stayed in Jiangnan.
He didn't care about the shop.
Instead, he was entrusted by Aunt Luo to go to Luan County with several children from Wu County who were also employees of Auntie's restaurant and opened a restaurant.
Fishball canning workshop.
When the aunt and others first arrived in Wuxian County, they were not used to the local food.
Every meal was filled with fresh seafood from the river, which made them very depressed.
As time went by, I gradually got used to it and realized the benefits of seafood.
Fish balls made from fresh sea fish are also better than river fish.
In order to supply this kind of fish balls to various inland branches, Aunt Luo decided to open a fish ball canning workshop on the beach, and left Chen Ji in charge of this matter.
The location of Luang County was the Ningbo area in later generations.
Mingzhou was established during the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty.
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, it was just a county and was under the jurisdiction of Yuezhou.
Because the fishery in Luang County is rich, the price of fish is slightly lower than that in Suzhou, and it is very convenient to travel by boat, so they bought a piece of land along the coast of Luang County, purchased marine fish from surrounding fishing villages, and set up a workshop to make fish balls.
It was not easy to open this workshop in the early days.
It required a steady stream of capital investment.
The folk customs in the surrounding fishing villages were relatively strong and not very friendly to immigrants like them.
If Luo Erniang hadn't had a good reputation in Jiangnan, this workshop would have been I'm afraid it will be difficult to gain a foothold locally.
At the beginning of this spring, Chen Ji received a bundle of sweet potato vines from his second mother and him.
He planted them on a slope outside the workshop and often cut the vines and gave them to local fishermen.
The relationship between the two parties improved a lot.
They don't have much fertile farmland in this area.
It's either mountains or the sea, so they can't grow any crops.
The sweet potatoes are pretty good, and they can survive just by planting them in a piece of land on the hillside.
This autumn, many families harvested sweet potatoes, so they became very friendly to Chen Ji and others.
Many places in this era were still very isolated.
They were often wary and hostile to outsiders.
There were even many barbaric behaviors and thoughts.
Murders and looting were often heard.
This is not the case in Luan County, and after the locals truly accepted Chen Ji and others, they regarded them as their own and were often very protective when facing outsiders.
In this era and this background, many foreign businessmen often have to pay a high price to go to a new place to operate and develop, but once they establish a foothold, it is difficult for others to shake them.
When Chen Ji and others came here to look at the land, they found out that the owner of this slope land was currently living in Ruan County, so they looked for it.
I originally thought that the other party would offer a high price, but unexpectedly, the landowner not only refused to pay a high price, but also said that if the Luo family wanted to open a workshop there, they could give the land to them for free.
"I heard about Laizhou because Na Du Langjun opened a canning workshop there in the early years.
In the past two years, their canned fish from Laizhou has been continuously shipped to Luoyang, Chang'an and other places."
"When it comes to fishery products, Yuezhou is not inferior to Laizhou, and our Luan County is even more blessed by nature.

I know that your master's Luo family is full of capable people.
You want to set up a workshop here, and I am also happy. , it’s just a wasteland, just use it.”
Chen Ji and the others originally had their eyes on several places on the coastline between the north and south of Suzhou, but they had not yet decided which one to choose.
At this time, after hearing what the squire said, I felt more inclined to the place of Luan County.
Later, after some further understanding and examination, I finally settled on this place.
Chen Ji was not a short-sighted person who loved petty gains, so he had no reason to ask for other people's land in vain.
In the end, they completed the land transaction at a relatively reasonable price under the witness of several other prestigious local squires. .
This slope is not very close to the nearby villages, but it is not far either.
It takes less than a quarter of an hour to walk from the nearest village to the fish ball workshop.
Chen Ji and others built the fish ball canning workshop on this gentle slope, with mountains behind and the sea in front.
They built a fishing port on the seaside.
At first, only nearby villagers came to the fishing village to sell fish.
Now there are more fishing boats coming and going.
When there are many, there can be twenty or thirty fishing boats entering the port a day.
At the beginning, the workshop could only make dozens of canned fish balls a day.
Now it basically makes hundreds of cans every day.
Sometimes too much fish is purchased, and the workers in the workshop are overwhelmed.
They will increase the labor price, attracting villagers from surrounding villages to come and work as temporary workers for a few days.
At this time, they often do not choose people very much, and they are willing to hire even the elderly and children who do not usually accept them.
Most of the children in the neighborhood who are over seven or eight years old have experience working in this fish ball workshop, killing fish, washing fish, scraping fish meat, setting fires, sorting and filling jars, etc.
They can get started at any time, and everyone is a skilled worker.
Working in this fish ball canning workshop, you can earn several pennies a day.
There is a grocery store in their workshop, which has oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, grains, cloth, everything, as well as some cakes, maltose and other snacks, which are suitable for ordinary children.
After earning money, they exchanged it for food.
The canned fish balls made in their workshop were mainly supplied to the branches of Ajie Restaurant in Jiangnan in the early days.
After the spring of this year, they will also be supplied to the branches in Bianzhou and Luoyang.
This summer, a batch of goods shipped to Chang'an was sent from their side.
The goods were mainly supplied to a branch in Tongguan and two shops in Chang'an City.
Because the DPRK and China were dispatching troops, this batch of goods did not go smoothly on the road, and it was more than a month later than expected.
Over in Chang'an City, the shop stewards were well prepared.
After the arrival of this batch of goods, a new store and an old store in the city soon put this kind of fish balls on the shelves at the same time.
These fish balls are quite expensive.
Ordinary meat balls and fish balls cost only two cents per skewer, while these fish balls cost two cents each.
The shop has already made custom-made bamboo skewers for skewering fish balls, which are more delicate than ordinary bamboo skewers.
There are also carved patterns between the handle and the fish balls.
Using this bamboo skewer to skewer five fish balls costs ten cents.
There is also a longer bamboo skewer that can skewer ten pellets, which is a full 20 cents, which ordinary people cannot afford.
These days, ordinary people work for others, and their wages are only a few cents a day.
At this time, if someone is walking on the street with two long strings of fish balls, twenty coins in his left hand, twenty coins in his right hand, and a total of forty coins in his hand, he will look very rich and wealthy.
However, there are also some people who look down upon them, thinking they are too vulgar and embarrassing.
Those who are fine will send their family servants to carry a food box, put a celadon soup bowl in it, and go to the shop to buy five or ten fish balls.
If this is the case, the shop assistant will go with him again.
They made one or two spoonfuls of soup, which was cooked with the original soup from the can and some water and seasonings.
It tasted very delicious.
Take this bowl of fish balls back, put it on a small red clay stove and cook it for a while, sprinkle some pepper, and add a small spoonful of rice vinegar.

Some bold and generous people looked down upon this way of eating, and laughed at them for being poor.
The city of Chang'an was very lively all year round.
Even eating fish balls would take a long time to make noises.
The noise was not enough, and they even wrote poems to ridicule each other.
Among them, those who were active at the forefront were the students from the academies.
These young people were narrow-minded and creative.
They wrote many ridiculous and funny poems about eating fish balls, which were widely praised among the people.
Many elders saw them making such a fuss and felt that it was a bit outrageous.
On this day, a minister who was busy with everything in the court heard someone talking about this matter, and said to others: "Since Assistant Professor Naluo left, these students in Chang'an City have become more and more leisurely." gd1806102:
