At this moment in Changle County, Wu You, Wu Gao and others followed the team of tea merchants and had arrived in the county.
Tian Chonghu still stayed in Liangzhou.
Luo Yong had written to him earlier, asking him to wait for him in Liangzhou City first, and after a while, he asked him to follow him back to Chang'an City.
Luo Yong is still busy with the water canal here, while his disciples are preparing for the opening of the new North and South Grocery Store.
Luo Yong chose the address of the store for them early in the morning.
It was in a residential area near the main street in the city.
Several shops on the street were used as residences, and the land was exchanged with several families.
The houses were knocked down and the vegetable plots were flattened. , and a big house was built on it.
Considering that Changle County is mainly a place where caravans come and go, most of the people who come here to buy goods are wholesalers, so this shop is very large and spacious everywhere.
There is a large open space around the shop for the convenience of customers.
They are used to park camels, horses and vehicles.
This shop is also in the form of a courtyard, with a shop in the front and a living area and warehouse in the back.
The shop in the front has two floors, while the rest of the shop has only one floor.
When building this new store, Erniang lent them a lot of money so that it could use the most advanced reinforced concrete technology.
In the front store, the floor between the wholesale shopping area on the first floor and the food and leisure area on the second floor is a reinforced concrete floor.
To go to the snack food area upstairs, you don't need to enter the shop downstairs.
You can go up directly from the stairs outside.
Most of the houses in Changle County only have one floor.
Standing on the second floor of this shop, you can have a panoramic view of the surrounding residential areas and the streets not far away, which is quite a bit like climbing up and looking far.
These things are basically done by Luo Yong's disciples.
Luo Yong rarely interferes.
He has been very busy recently because of the canal.
In the storybook of Xuelingqu, this channel was dug out by the Snow Spirit Beast's paw.
However, in the real world, people have to spend countless money, effort, and even blood, sweat and lives for such a channel.
At the beginning of spring, rocks rolled down the slope, injuring several civilians at the construction site.
The injured had been transported to the city for treatment.
Fortunately, everyone evacuated in time and no one died.
After this incident, no one dared to take it lightly.
Later, the weather got warmer, and during the spring plowing season, many people from farmers went home to farm.
Luo Yong and the others recruited many people from surrounding towns to supplement the work.
There were some thorny people among these newcomers, and they made a lot of noise.
The young man named Xia Yan who followed Du Gou from Laizhou to Changle earlier has been helping Du Gou with the canal construction for more than half a year.
He almost got into a fight with Xia Yan and others.
After Luo Yong heard about this, he arranged for Bai Qi and others to go there.
It took a lot of effort to get the project progress back on track.
A few days later, Luo Yong talked about this matter with Tang Jian, but Tang Jian said: "This little thing can cause you such a headache, why don't the Chang'an County Magistrate just stop doing it."
"Then how can I give up?"
Luo Yong said with a smile.
Luo Yong, the current magistrate of Changle County, is ranked from the seventh rank to the upper level, while the rank of the Chang'an County Magistrate is the upper level of the sixth rank.
At this moment, he has crossed the following levels: lower than the seventh rank, upper rank of the seventh rank, lower than the sixth rank.
From the sixth grade, four grades, it is equivalent to saying that he has been promoted to five levels in a row, and he is still a capital official.
For a poor boy from a humble background, this is not an opportunity that comes often.
According to the news from Chang'an City, the emperor seems to be planning to take Luo Yong back to fight against those nobles.
But according to what Tang Jian said, the emperor had begun to make plans for his son with these eight achievements.
The new prince is still young, but the old emperor's health is getting worse every year.

The nobles are powerful, the court is civil and military, and there are many old ministers and powerful officials.
Not to mention the new prince, sometimes even the old emperor himself feels struggling.
Under such circumstances, the emperor wanted to entrust his eldest son Sun Wuji, but he was worried that his eldest son would be arbitrarily powerful and tyrannical in the future, leaving his son with no real power.
After all, no matter how close his brother-in-law was, he would not be as close as his own son.
So he asked Luo Yong to go back this time, not only to give Luo Yong a chance to be promoted to the court, but also to check and balance.
Although Luo Yong has a tough temper, he doesn't look like someone who harbors evil intentions.
His youngest son has a good temper and should be able to tolerate Luo Yong.
Luo Yong came to see Tang Jian whenever he had free time, just to listen to him talk more about Chang'an City.
Speaking of which, of the 108 squares in Chang'an City, only the fifty-four squares to the west of Zhuque Street are really under the jurisdiction of Chang'an County Magistrate, and the fifty-four squares to the east are under the jurisdiction of Wannian County.
When Luo Yong was working as a teaching assistant at Imperial College in Chang'an City, most of the places where he lived and walked were to the west of Chang'an City, that is, within the jurisdiction of Chang'an County.
Wannian County to the east is mainly a living area for the rich.
Ordinary people rarely go there if they have nothing to do.
Even the Dong Market over there, not many people go there.
The prices of everything sold in that market are generally relatively high.
It’s so high that ordinary people can’t afford it.
The magistrates of these two counties also have completely different working conditions.
The magistrate of Chang'an is very busy, but the magistrate of Wannian is very leisurely.
Generally, even if there is any friction between family members, they will not go to the county magistrate to complain. reason.
However, according to Tang Jian, the county magistrates of Wannian County are usually held by senior and highly respected people.
Ordinary people cannot be the magistrates.
Generally, young people who want to be promoted will not go to that position.
After all, they cannot accomplish much.
Achievements come.
If you want to be promoted, you still have to be the Chang'an County Magistrate, but this position has been a trap for countless people throughout the ages.
Many people in this position not only fail to get promoted, but also end up with a reputation of incompetence.
Just like the Luo family, they have tricked two Chang'an County Magistrates.
With such a dark history, Luo Yong will go back to be the Chang'an County Magistrate this time.
No matter how miserable he is in the future, he probably won't Some people sympathized with him.
But even so, Luo Yong never had the idea of retreating.
The so-called wealth and honor are obtained through danger.
Now that he has entered the officialdom, there is no reason why he should not go higher.
The higher the status, the greater the energy, and the more things he can do.
After leaving Changle Academy, Luo Yong went to the hospital.
Most of the people injured in the accident earlier had recovered and returned home.
Only two people were still living in the hospital.
Both of them were farmers in Changle County.
One had his leg bone broken by a stone, and the other was swept by a broken tree, scratching his skin and flesh.
Later, he became ill with pus and high fever.
When Luo Yong passed by, the two men were sitting on the street in front of the hospital enjoying the cool air.
Several workers from the city came to chat with them.
A few people were talking when they saw Luo Yong coming and greeted him quickly.
Now everyone in the city knew that their county magistrate Luo would be transferred soon and would go back to Chang'an City to be the county magistrate.
Although I am reluctant to give up, I am still proud of it.
Luo Yong saw rice wine and dried tofu placed on a bench among them, and said: "This dried tofu is just for hair.
The injured should eat less."

"I'm just greedy and can't stop myself."
One of the injured chuckled and said a little embarrassedly.
Regarding dietary taboos, the medical officer in the medical clinic also warned them on weekdays.
They were greedy today and secretly ate some, but unexpectedly they were caught by the county magistrate.
"How's your appetite?"
Luo asked with a smile.
As long as you have a good appetite and can eat, it's usually not a serious problem.
"It's fine."
The two of them stayed in this medical center to recuperate, and ate with the people in this medical center.
In addition, they also had a few cents of nutritional expenses every day.
They would eat today.
I used the money to buy rice wine and dried tofu.
"Don't drink too much wine."
"Hey, hey."
"The county magistrate needs to sit down for a while."
"I'm not going to sit down anymore.
I'm going to take a look at the new shop."
"Well done, magistrate."
"good."
After Luo Yong left, these people sat down and continued talking.
"Magistrate Luo comes here often."
"I have to come over every now and then."
"He is also very busy.
He usually just comes over to have a look and then leaves soon."
"Earlier, the medical center here was short of some medicinal materials.
Magistrate Luo asked someone from Zhao's Trading Company to buy them from Liangzhou City."
"Tsk, that price must not be cheap."
"The price is very expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it."
"I heard from the medical officer here that a few years ago when the Luo County Magistrate first took office, there were only a few medicinal materials in this medical center.
They have been purchased one after another over the years."
"Not to mention anything else over the years, I don't know how much money I have spent just buying these medicinal materials." "" Speaking of the situation when Luo Yong first took office, these people were also sighing.
While they were talking here, a policeman who had just been following Luo Yong turned back, brought over two paper bags, and shared one bag with the two wounded people, saying that the county magistrate asked him to send it.
"What is this?"
It smells very sweet.
"It's crickets.
It's a kind of cake.
It will be sold at the North and South groceries later.
I'm trying to make a batch today."
The officer said.
The name of this cake, Cricket, is a little weird.
Although they were a little confused, they didn't ask any more questions.
After the officer left, they opened the paper bag and took a closer look.
They were cakes the size of copper coins.
They were yellow-orange in color and smelled very sweet.
They shared a few pieces of food, and then the two wounded men put the things away and refused to share any more.

The bag of cakes was not too heavy, so they both put it away separately.
Occasionally, when they were greedy, they would take it out and eat a piece or two, not wanting to eat more.
After a few days like this, the wife of the young man whose skin was bruised by the broken wood came to visit him.
They were only in their twenties, but they had been married for seven or eight years and had two sons and one daughter.
This woman has a rather strong physique.
She has been tanned red from working in the fields all year round.
If you look closely at her face and facial features, you can see that she is still somewhat beautiful.
The two met in the hospital, and her husband took out the bag of cakes to eat with her.
The woman liked this kind of cake very much.
While saying that she was in good health and didn't need to eat these cakes, she couldn't help but take one piece after another from the paper bag.
"Just eat.
I'm almost in good health now.
I have food and drink in this hospital, and I don't need these few cakes."
The wounded man sat aside and watched her eating with a smile.
The woman was very happy to see that her husband was now in good health.
The cake in her mouth was also extremely sweet.
This was the most delicious cake she had ever eaten in her life.
That night, in a small village not far from Changle County, a mother and her son were secretly eating alone in the house.
"Why do you have cakes?"
The little girl of three or four years old was sleeping in a daze when her brother pushed her awake and told her to eat cakes.
He thought she was dreaming.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Sure enough, there were cakes, which made the little girl very happy.
"Shhh" the woman signaled her to whisper softly: "You asked me to bring it back to you.
You just eat it quietly and don't go out and talk too much."
"Hmm" She doesn't talk too much.
Last time, her aunt secretly boiled eggs for her sister and refused to give them to her.
This bag of cakes was originally not much.
Aye and I had eaten some in the city these days, and their mother also ate some today.
Now we brought them back and distributed them to the three children.
Each of them only had a few.
Just blocks.
The children were like little mice, holding cakes in their hands, nibbling small bites, and snickering from time to time, looking very happy.
"Mom, what kind of cake is this?
It's so delicious."
"You guys said this cake seems to be called cricket."
"Cricket" "Auntie, these crickets are so delicious" gd1806102:
