When Luo Yong came back this time, he no longer lived in the Bai Mansion, but in the Huihe County Lord's Mansion that the saint had given to Siniang earlier.
Si Niang Wu Lang and others are packing up and moving in a few days.
The county government's mansion is in Anyefang, on the north side of Zhuque Street, which is considered a relatively good location.
Walking north from here, passing through Fenglefang, Tonghuafang, and Shanhefang, you can reach the Suzaku Gate of Miyagi City.
For officials who often need to get up early to attend court, it is more convenient to live nearby.
As the magistrate of Chang'an County, Luo Yong didn't have to go to court very often.
He usually only went to the main court and not to the minor court.
On weekdays, he mainly went to the Chang'an County government office every morning to order mao.
Going west from Anyefang, passing Chongdefang and Chongxianfang, is Changshoufang, which is where the Chang'an County government is located.
In short, Luo Yong lives in this place, and it is very convenient to go to work and go to work.
The north and south groceries are in Xinghua Fang, diagonally diagonally to the northwest.
A diagonal further along this direction is where the old Ajie Food Shop is located.
To the west of Defang and Guangdefang is the West Market.
As a county lord's mansion, it seems to be a bit high-end, but in fact it is just an ordinary mansion, which looks similar to other houses around it.
Those who can live in this area are basically relatively decent families.
Among other things, the roofs are all covered with tiles instead of thatch.
Because of the moving matter of Siniang and the others, the ladies of the Bai family have also been helping out in the past few days.
They have called the family servants to come over and clean the house carefully.
They have also helped Siniang and the others decorate the house and buy things they need for daily use.
What should be done?
If you look at what is missing in this yard, a few people put it together and found that the Bai family's warehouse happened to have it ready-made, so they moved it here.
Luo Yong and the husband of the Bai family often sat together and talked in the past two days.
The Bai family told Luo Yong a lot about Chang'an City, the current situation of the major families in the Central Plains, major and minor matters in the court, etc.
Also talking about the war in Liaodong, since last year, the war in Liaodong has become more and more difficult.
The soldiers and civilians of Goguryeo are clinging to the city, and the Mohe people from the north are intruding from time to time.
The longer the war drags on, the more difficult it is to supply food and grass, and the soldiers are tired.
In response to the war, war weariness gradually developed.
The people in Liaodong were tortured by the war, and there was a faint sense of resentment among the people.
The ministers of the court and the central government went to court one after another, asking the king to order the withdrawal of the troops and to end the war in time before causing greater losses.
Goguryeo is just a small country, but now it has the northern ethnic groups to check and balance it.
It is not easy to obtain, and it needs to be worked on slowly.
When the northern forces are wiped out in the future, Goguryeo will also become a treasure.
However, how long will this plan last?
When the day comes when Goguryeo becomes the target, will he, Li Shimin, still be alive?
Not being able to capture Goguryeo in his own lifetime was a big regret in Li Shimin's heart.
However, looking at the current situation, this war has become a wheel battle that continuously consumes the lives of soldiers and the national strength of both sides.
Not only Mohe, but also Xue Yantuo and Turk are ready to make a move.
There are signs that if you don't withdraw your troops at this time, you will be afraid of being taken advantage of.
Now that the army has withdrawn from Liaodong, the men are exhausted, the horses are exhausted, and the food and grass are exhausted.
After returning to the court, there will be no rewards for military achievements.
At most, they are just condolences.
Some generals may be held accountable.
This time, Xu Shiji and Li Daozong all went to Tang Dynasty to attack Goguryeo.
From the planning and preparation before the war to the final withdrawal, they worked hard for a year or two, but in the end they could not get any benefits.
After the two of them return to the court, this fruitless war is likely to become their weakness in the future when they are criticized by their political opponents.

There was a turmoil in the court, and the forces of all parties were complicated.
Luo Yong served as an assistant to the imperial college in Chang'an City last time.
To put it mildly, he could be considered an official, but in fact he was just a low-ranking little shrimp.
This time he returned from Longxi and was about to assume the important position of Chang'an County Magistrate.
Naturally, he was much closer to the disturbances among the upper-class forces.
After Luo Yong returned to Beijing in the past two days, he first reported to the Ministry of Personnel, and then settled down at home to wait for the day when he would take over.
In the meantime, someone from the palace came to tell him that the saint Xuan Luo Yong had come to the palace to have an audience.
Luo Yong changed into his official uniform and entered the palace with the chamberlain who came to summon him.
After entering the palace gate, you can no longer ride in the carriage and have to walk on two legs.
At this time, most people did not have the habit of riding a sedan chair.
The sedan chair, also known as a sedan chair, was usually only used when hiking in the mountains.
There were also women and old people riding on the flat ground, but young men were very rare.
The literati of this era also practiced martial arts, and hunting on horseback was commonplace.
A young and strong man could not walk a few steps, and he had to be lifted up in a small green cloth sedan, which would make people laugh to death.
Luo Yong walked in the palace with the eunuch who led the way, chatting with him from time to time.
The eunuch's attitude was also very kind.
Luo Yong asked him: "I wonder if Chamberlain Xu is still well."
The eunuch replied: "Housekeeper Xu is a very good person.
I have been very happy to hear that Magistrate Luo has returned."
Luo Yong smiled and said: "That's good."
After entering the palace, I met the sage.
The sage asked Luo Yong how hard he had been on the road.
Luo Yong said it was not hard.
The road is smooth now and is much better than when he went west seven years ago.
When talking about Luo Yong being forced to leave Chang'an seven years ago, the smile on the old emperor's face couldn't help but froze.
Although he knew that the coffin board in front of him was not a good product, he didn't expect that he had just met him today.
Then he mentioned this to himself.
Among the many kings in Chinese history, Li Shimin had a relatively good temper, at least on the surface.
At this time, he was not angry with Luo Yong, but praised him for his efforts over the years and comforted him for his hardships over the years.
As an old bird in the political arena, he was really good at speaking nicely. very.
Luo Yong was also very moved when he heard this, and then he told the emperor heartfelt words.
He said that he was just such a piece of material, he only wanted to focus on construction and had no thoughts of fighting for power and profit.
If the saint could be trusted, he would keep him in Chang'an City to make the best use of his resources.
If he was not trustworthy, he would ask him to return to his hometown in Lishi.
That’s it.
These "heartfelt words" made the old emperor's mouth twitch.
"Luo Aiqing, this is fine.
Why did you encounter some difficulties when you said you wanted to go back to your hometown in Lishi?"
He always said that he was going back to his hometown and would no longer be an official.
This was a common tactic used by some veteran officials in the court.
But now the coffin board was not in the right place, and he was also playing a bitter game with him.
"There's no difficulty at the moment."
In fact, he just wanted to make some big move, but if he didn't get the emperor's support, he would definitely not be able to do it on his own.
"Just tell me what it is."
The emperor's patience finally ran out at this time, and he lazily pretended to be a benevolent king.

"Your Majesty, I want to establish an engineering school."
Luo Yong said solemnly.
When the emperor heard this, he stopped talking for a moment.
This was not a trivial matter.
He had to think about it for a while.
Afterwards, Luo Yong explained to him in detail why he wanted to establish an engineering school.
Today in Chang'an City, educational institutions for the children of princes and nobles include Hongwen Hall, Chongwen Guang established the year after Luo Yong left Chang'an City, and Guozixue, Taixue, and Four Schools to train the children of officials.
There are also calligraphy, arithmetic, and legal studies for the purpose of training officials.
Finally, each state has medicine, including Chang'an city.
However, there is no school that teaches engineering skills across the country.
Most of the craftsman skills are passed down from generation to generation.
The brooms are cherished and there is a lack of exchange and communication.
If any bloodline is cut off, some skills will also be lost, which is really a pity.
The purpose of Luo Yong in establishing this engineering school is to pool the strengths of various schools, continuously research new technologies, and devote himself to disseminating advanced technologies.
As the initiator of this matter, in order to show his sincerity, he is willing to let his disciples come up with the first Some of the technologies they currently have at their disposal.
"The saint must have heard that in addition to the power of wind and water, heat can also be used by people.
The equipment created by my disciples has been put into use in the needle workshop in Changle County.
It only needs to burn charcoal.
The work of wire drawing and cutting can be realized without much manpower investment.”
"Now Hexi can produce white folded flowers, and the output is huge.
I think that the process of spinning and weaving can be realized by using heat energy.
However, it will take some time to study it carefully.
Clothing and quilting the world is a great cause.
My disciple Our abilities are limited.
If we can set up this engineering school and summon the best craftsmen in the world to participate and brainstorm, one day this idea will be turned into reality.
We can also train young craftsmen in the engineering school so that these technologies can be passed on for a long time. , continuous optimization” The old emperor sat on the wooden couch and listened to Luo Yong talk endlessly about how prosperous and prosperous the world was.
If it is true as he said, spinning and weaving does not require so much manpower, just burn some charcoal.
If it comes true, then this world may be completely different.
Is Li Shimin afraid of such changes today?
He is not afraid.
As he grew older, his health deteriorated, and his enthusiasm gradually disappeared, he was actually looking forward to some new things, some new possibilities, and even some miracles.
The Battle of Liaodong had become a regret, and Sun Simiao persuaded him not to take the elixir that allowed him to place his fantasies and expectations.
Sun Simiao had also made elixirs earlier, but now he doesn't practice them anymore.
There must be a reason.
Besides, a person like him must have no reason to deceive himself.
After thinking about it, the old emperor decided not to eat it, but It is inevitable that I feel a little disappointed in my heart, and this spiritual sustenance is gone.
The young man in front of me was quite daring to think, and he could actually come up with the wonder of extracting the heat energy of coal and using it to spin yarn and weave cloth.
Seeing his energetic look, the old emperor couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it's better to be young, how can those old men in the court have such energy.
"Shan, I will set up an engineering school as you said."
The old emperor thought about it and felt that this was a good thing, so he agreed.
"Your Majesty's Holy Ming" Luo Yong quickly flattered him.
"That's all, I'm tired, you can go ahead."
The emperor didn't want to listen to his insincere flattery, so he told him to leave as soon as he was done.
"Your Majesty, I have someone to recommend for the post of Doctor of Engineering," Luo Yong said quickly.
"Who?"
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
the emperor asked.
"Although my disciple Hengzhi is from a humble background, his skills are outstanding and he is worthy of the post of Doctor of Imperial College."
Luo Yong cannot always let his disciples suffer.
When it is time to fight for their benefits, he must actively fight for them.
"Good."
The emperor agreed readily.
After all, Luo Yong had proposed to use the advanced technology he had mastered, so arranging such an official position for his apprentice was not an excessive request.
Besides, he had heard of Hengzhi before, and he was indeed a real person.
Just do it.
"And Hou Lin, the secretary of the Guozi School, is also worthy of this position," Luo Yong said again.
"Hou Lin."
The emperor raised his eyebrows.
He knew this person well.
The matter about the Imperial College had caused a lot of fuss a while ago.
But he is just a scholar.
What kind of talent can he hold the position of doctor of engineering?
Luo Yong is clearly using his power for personal gain.
"What can he do if he goes to study engineering?"
the emperor said.
"In such a large engineering school, it cannot be all craftsmen.
It also needs a person who manages personnel and finance."
Luo Yong said categorically.
The emperor glanced at the coffin board in front of him and hummed: "Promise."
He also knew that Luo Yong had a good relationship with Hou Lin, and thought that he had indeed made meritorious service over the years, and he expected him to continue to work hard in the future, so he went along with his wishes this time.
"Thank you, Your Majesty" Luo Yong was happy now.
"Okay, go ahead."
The emperor waved his hand.
"Your Majesty" Luo Yong hasn't left yet.
"Why, there is still someone to recommend?"
the emperor said dissatisfied.
"Your Majesty, I don't know what kind of official position the doctorate in engineering is."
Luo Yong was quite satisfied with being able to fill two doctors in this newly established school, and had no intention of recommending a third person.
"From the ninth rank."
The old emperor said lightly.
"" When Luo Yong heard this, he said, OK.
They are on the same level as doctors of calligraphy and arithmetic.
They are the lowest-ranking officials.
They are two levels lower than doctors of law.
They are even lower than those of Guozixue, Taixue and the Four Schools.
No comparison.
The status of craftsmen in this era was originally low, lower than that of officials.
This was originally expected.
After leaving the palace, Luo Yong went to find Hou Lin and told him about the matter.
Luo Yong had already asked Hou Lin for his opinion on this matter, and he himself was very willing.
As a man from a poor family, it was extremely difficult for Hou Lin to become an official in the city of Chang'an.

In the eyes of people in his hometown, he was also very promising.
How could they know that he was facing difficulties in this officialdom?
, has neither power to rely on nor financial support, and is a bit lower than others in every aspect.
He has been managing carefully for many years, but he can't resist others' deliberate embarrassment.
He was originally a low-ranking petty official, but after switching to the position of doctor of engineering, he was still a low-ranking official, but he would be much freer in his actions and would not need to look at other people's faces.
And according to Luo Yong, although the position of a doctor of engineering certainly does not have a high social status at the moment, as long as there are achievements in technical research, the welfare benefits will definitely be no problem, which makes Hou Lin very satisfied.
"Earlier, when Siniang was in trouble, thanks to Principal Hou for speaking out for justice, this time I heard that Principal Hou was being ostracized and embarrassed, but I can't do anything for you."
"Now that you have become a doctor of engineering, not only will your official position not be improved, but your status will appear to be low.
In this world, craftsmen are always looked down upon."
Luo Yong and Hou Lin had a drink together, and he was also very angry when he talked about the previous incident of people in the Imperial College ostracizing Hou Lin.
Hou Lin had been at the Guozixue Academy for so many years without any problems.
The reason why he was ostracized this time was said to be because a family was dissatisfied with Qiao Junlin as the team leader, so they wanted to play tricks on Hou Lin.
"Why does Sanlang need to say these heretical words?
I have no background, and I am not a man of great learning and talent.
I have not made any progress in Chang'an City in these years.
What is the point of doing this?
It is just to support my family."
Hou Lin said, picking up the wine glass in front of him and drinking it down in one gulp.
"Don't say such depressing words.
Even though this doctor of engineering doesn't have much status at the moment.
In a few years, if those amazing results are really produced, the tide will naturally rise, and the people on the boat will definitely rise accordingly.
It’s going up,” Luo Yongzi said.
"Then I have to thank Sanlang for taking me up together," Hou Lin said with a smile and cupped his hands.
"Of course."
Luo Yong agreed: "Xiao Shu Hou just needs to sit tight on the boat."
The two of them talked happily, and they also talked about Qiao Junlin who went west and didn't know when he would come back.
He didn't know where he was now, but he was still well.
This time, Qiao Junlin, as the team leader, led a group of nobles to explore the Western Regions and spread the culture of the Tang Dynasty.
I don’t know how far they can take this exploration and exchange.
In any case, when this group of people returns, they will definitely cause a stir in the DPRK.
Attention, let alone others, for Qiao Junlin, his future must be much broader than before.
It was not until almost dusk that Luo Yong came out of the Hou's courtyard, got on the carriage arranged for him by his disciples, and walked through the streets of Chang'an City with a drunken feeling.
Luo Yong opened the car window, letting the cold wind outside flow into the car, looking at the scenery on the street, and dispersing the smell of alcohol.
Although it is the middle of winter, the streets of Chang'an City are not deserted.
Pedestrians and vehicles have to go home before the curfew.
In the rush of coming and going, you can see a bit of prosperity and prosperity.
Luo Yong sat in the carriage, looking at the pedestrians and vehicles passing by on the street, with a smile on his face and thinking about things in his heart.
Now in Chang'an City, everyone knows that Luo Yong has returned, but they don't know how they will guess his next move, but they think that he will open a workshop to sell tofu in Chang'an City this time.
This time back to Chang'an, Luo Yong's ability as an official has been recognized by the superiors.
They now have money in their hands and talents around them, and they have even gradually established their own network of relationships in Chang'an City.
In this case, how could he still focus on those small workshops this time.
What's the use of a bull's knife to kill a chicken?
