The Snow Spirit Canal currently under construction in Changle County is already famous even before it is completed due to the popularity of the storybook Snow Spirit Beast.
Du Gou was not mentioned in the script, but everyone in Chang'an City who should know by now also knows that Du Gou presided over the construction of this canal, although Luo Yong was also behind it.
Most people in Chang'an also know that Du Gou has now become a disciple of Luo Yong.
Regarding his approach, many nobles in Chang'an City said it was difficult to accept it.
After all, Du Gou was from a noble family.
Although Na Luo Yong was talented, he was not a highly respected and knowledgeable person, so why should he be his disciple?
People of this era value family background, knowledge, and virtue far more than talent.
Luo Yong had talents, so the sage called him an official to make the best use of things and people to make full use of their talents.
Since he has exerted his talents and brought benefits to the court and the people, it is reasonable to give him an official position and wealth.
But the eldest son of Du Ruhui actually wanted to respect him as his teacher.
In the eyes of many people, this was very unreasonable.
"This time Luo Yong returns from Longxi, I think he will be much more prosperous than before."
On this day, several gentlemen were having a banquet at a wine shop in Qujiang Pond.
The pavilions and pavilions were sparkling, and the autumn wind was blowing on their faces.
They were very comfortable, leisurely and elegant.
During the dinner, someone mentioned Luo Yong.
"Of course, the coffin board is no longer the same as it was a few years ago."
Someone answered.
"I know that the Bai family has always been on good terms with Luo Yong.
The Zheng family in Xingyang got the news from him last time and benefited from buying the iron ore in advance.
Now their attitude is very clear.
They are obviously from their side.
I didn't expect it. , The Gu family has actually expressed its stance now."
Ling Yilangjun said.
Earlier, the Gu family suddenly jumped out and took part in the Guozixue.
Their actions were very significant, and they immediately formed a relationship with several officials from the Guozixue family.
If the Gu family stepped out to intervene in this matter purely because they couldn't stand the way those people in Guozixue behaved, then they would definitely not believe it.
At this juncture, seeing that Luo Yong was about to return to Beijing, the Gu family was clearly showing their goodwill.
After all, Hou Lin and Luo Yong were both from Lishi County.
They had lived in the same courtyard earlier.
Hou Lin's nephew Qiao Junlin and Luo Yong were very close.
A few years ago, Luo Yong was kicked out of Chang'an.
When Le County became the county magistrate, Qiao Junlin went with him.
"Tsk, it's probably because I saw Mrs.
Zheng that I got some benefits."
"The benefits are not small."
"Brothers, I don't know what you mean."
"My brother asked my nephew yesterday whether he was familiar with Na Luoyong when he was studying at Taixue."
“But we are familiar with each other” "My nephew replied, why are you so familiar with that coffin board?"
"Ha ha ha ha" "Children know very well."
"Now, not only the Bai family and the Zheng family, the Luo family has also had close ties with the families in Hedong in recent years.
Businesses of all sizes follow the Luo family's siblings.
There are also many ladies from the family in Chang'an City who have invested in Ajie's restaurant. money."
"Don't underestimate those women, they care about their money more than their eyes."
"Now that coffin board is really something."

"We can no longer treat him as the country boy he once was."
"It only takes a few years."
"It was in the ninth year of Zhenguan that I first heard about Luo Yong's deeds in Lishi County.
Now it is the nineteenth year of Zhenguan.
Counting the time, a full ten years have passed."
"A few years ago, when he went to Changle County to take up his post, it was probably around this time in autumn, but it was the thirteenth year of Zhenguan."
"No, I left Beijing in the autumn of the twelfth year of Zhenguan and arrived in Changle County in the first month of the thirteenth year."
"So he was there for almost seven years."
"Exactly."
At this point, everyone was silent.
With the talents Luo Yong showed in Chang'an City, such a young talent would not have stayed in the borderland of Changle County for seven years if he had a better background.
"Seven years" "It's time to come back."
The gentlemen in Chang'an City were quite emotional when they mentioned that Luo Yong had been in Longxi for seven years.
Luo Yong himself didn't think there was anything wrong.
He was indeed a little angry when he was first taken out of Chang'an City.
It will be fine when he can stay in Changle County with peace of mind.
He has lived a happy life these years.
Tasty.
On the contrary, Chen Jiao felt that he had been wronged.
He should have been able to apply for transfer two years earlier, but because of Luo Yong, he stayed here for so long.
Chen Jiao wanted to leave early.
As soon as the news from Chang'an City came, he couldn't wait to order his family and servants to start packing their bags.
When Ding Min, Bai Yimao and his party arrived in Jinchang City, he hurriedly handed over the work.
Then he flicked his sleeves and left first without waiting for Luo Yong.
The handover was done in a sloppy manner, and Ding Min was the governor for the first time, so he was very worried.
Fortunately, the fiscal deficit in Guazhou is not very serious, and there are not many empty households.
When he first took office, Luo Yong showed his support for him.
It seems that the wealthy local merchants are also convinced by him as the new governor.
After all, he made great contributions to the road construction of Longyou Road, and the locals People will definitely still miss him.
Here in Changle County, the new county magistrate Bai Yimao came to take office, so it was naturally time for Luo Yong to step down.
Luo Yong and Bai Yimao were familiar with each other.
Bai Yimao once went to Xipo Village to learn arithmetic with Luo Yong.
The Bai Luo family has also become very close over the years.
In this case, the relationship between the two of them is The handover work was naturally done very carefully.
"The canning and sauce-making workshops are under the management of the government, and they earn a lot every year.
With this money and silk income, various expenses can be funded."
"Not to mention anything else in Changle County, just the wages and benefits of the officials and servants cost a lot every month.
The wages of servants in Changle County are higher than elsewhere.
If it is not absolutely necessary, you should not ask for it.
If their wages are reduced, people will be afraid that they will disperse once their wages are reduced."
"After excluding those expenses, there will definitely be some surplus.
You can save some when the time comes and expand the city wall to the open space to the north.
This is the sketch I drew earlier.
Please keep it for reference."
“In the construction of new urban areas, drainage ditches and biogas pipelines must be laid out early in the morning.”

"There is still a lot of coal over there.
I sold most of it earlier, but now there is still a lot left."
“And this liquor workshop” "And the income from the wooden track" There is still the final finishing work left in the construction of the canal, and Luo Yong is not involved.
In the past few days, he has taken Bai Yimao around Changle County.
After watching it for several days, Bai Yimao was also a little shocked.
When other people became local officials, most of the things they took over were messes.
The only difference was the degree of bad debts.
What he took over was simply a money-making machine.
This Changle County may not look big, but it can actually earn so much money every year.
Such a large amount of income cannot be spent at ordinary times.
Then you can spend it however you want.
This life is too nourishing, right?
However, Luo Yong said to him: "There are many places to spend money, and you still need to be careful with your budget."
"Besides building the new district in the north of the city, is there anything else that needs to be spent on?"
Bai Yimao wondered.
Luo Yong had even repaired the canals for him.
In his opinion, Changle County didn't lack anything at all.
"You come with me."
Luo Yong said to him.
Bai Yimao followed Luo Yong across the street and into the workshop area, and then they went to the needle workshop first.
This needle workshop is an industry under the name of Luo Yong's disciples.
In recent years, there have been many needle workshops in the Central Plains.
Central Plains merchants do not come here to buy needles.
In addition to operating the local market, this needle workshop mainly sells to those merchants from the Western Regions.
"I heard that some needle workshops in the Central Plains make very fine needles.
Each workshop has its own strengths.
The advantage of this needle workshop in Changle County is its fast speed and large output."
As Luo Yong spoke, he took Bai Yimao to a drawing workshop.
There were several tall, dark machines placed in this workshop.
At this time, these machines were running loudly.
I could see a line of black wire between the machine and the machine.
The iron wire was stretched long and thin, as if it was very easy.
Behind the equipment, several young men were wielding shovels to shovel coal into an iron stove-like place.
The structure above the stove seemed to be boiling hot water, and it was boiling.
White smoke.
These instruments only need to burn charcoal to operate and do not require human or animal power.
The craftsmen only need to watch and adjust to ensure the quality of drawing.
"People are not allowed to come in this place because they don't want people to learn these things."
"However, this batch of wire drawing machines were also made earlier.
Later, the new equipment made by Hengzhi had some technical improvements.
If you have more money in the future, you can merge these old equipment and build them again. " "Why can this coal make the equipment work?"
Bai Yimao was curious about the working principle of these equipment.
"There is not only wind power in this world.
On weekdays, if you look at the boiling water in the pot, there is also a force between the steam and steam, let's call it heat.
If this heat is used properly, it can also help production."

Luo Yong roughly Explained some thermal energy to Bai Yimao.
"Besides this wire drawing machine, could there be other ways to use it?"
Bai Yimao intuitively felt that what he saw in front of him was not everything.
Luo Yong seemed to be hiding a big move behind.
"In addition to this wire drawing machine, there are also needle cutting machines and rough grinding machines.
I originally planned to make a punching machine, but unfortunately the accuracy was never achieved."
Luo Yong said, and took Bai Yimao out of the workshop.
"There is also a treasure that I would not be willing to show to ordinary people."
"What is it" Luo Yong took Bai Yimao to the machine shop this time.
There was a less conspicuous house in the backyard of the machine shop.
Luo Yong took out the key from his body and opened the door, and asked someone to guard the door.
Bai Yimao followed Luo Yong in.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw a track paved on the ground.
Looking around, it turned out that this house, which looked ordinary from the outside, actually occupied an entire row of houses.
The track was laid from one end to the other.
It was not an ordinary wooden track, but a railroad track.
"It's this treasure."
Luo Yong patted an object that looked like a car on the railway track and said to Bai Yimao: "Since the heat can make wire drawing machines and other things, it can naturally drive vehicles on the track.
This one locomotive can drag several cargo carriages.
Unfortunately, the weight is too heavy and ordinary wooden tracks cannot bear it.
It needs to be Get the rails.”
Bai Yimao was already stunned by what he saw in front of him and Luo Yong's words.
Yes, the heat is not as erratic as the wind, nor is it like water that can only be used along the river.
This heat is obtained by burning coal, so as long as they carry the coal to the car and burn it on the car, there will be a steady stream of energy.
Continuously creating heat, then this power can be carried around "Can you hear what I'm saying?"
Luo Yong was talking over there and found that Bai Yimao was distracted.
"Ah" Bai Yimao looked shocked and confused.
"I said, your family asked you to come to Changle County.
Naturally, they hope that you can make some political achievements.
However, it is not easy for you to take over my position as Changle County Magistrate and make another breakthrough.
During this period of time, I After thinking about it, only this baby can help you," Luo Yong said.
"Then what should I do?"
Bai Yimao's mind was still blank at this time.
"You'd better replace the wooden tracks around Changle County with railroad tracks during your term of office, and then promote this kind of fire-burning vehicle locally and call it a train."
"We need to lay railroad tracks."
Bai Yimao was surprised: "How much money will it cost?"
"Save some money and save more, and you should still be able to save it."
In order to repay the kindness of the Bai family, Luo Yong was worried this time, even thinking about where to spend the money.
In this way, Bai Yimao, who had just arrived, had not had time to rejoice that he was about to take over this large money machine in Changle County for two days when he was shrouded in a shadow called Railroad. gd1806102:
