Chapter 441: Riding the Wind


Compared with many rivers in the Central Plains and Jiangnan areas, Fenshui is not very deep, the flow is not very stable, and the seasonality is relatively strong.

Therefore, there are few large ships on the Fen River, and those that carry cargo and people are mostly medium-sized ships.

This time, more than one vessel was rented to transport the North-South groceries to the South, and several vessel changes were required along the way.

There is no advanced detection technology in this era, and it is very dangerous to sail in unfamiliar waters.

In addition, there are many large and small forces distributed on this waterway.

They each have their own territory, so those ships and the boatmen on them, Usually only active in river basins that they are familiar with.

Every time I go to a place where I need to change ships, there are many strong laborers gathered on those docks.

People come and go and goods gather, which looks very busy and prosperous.

The people who sell groceries in the north and south told these young ladies that it is summer now, and transportation on the Fen River is busy.

When the water level drops after autumn, some sections of the river will no longer be able to carry cargo ships.

"Then let's take the land route instead," asked a young lady.

"That's not necessarily the case."

The man said: "Those who walk on this trade road naturally know when is the most cost-effective time to transport goods.

Therefore, many merchants from the south go north to collect goods and stock up in autumn and winter.

After the beginning of spring, the water level will rise, and it will be easier for ships to sail on the Fen River.

By then, cargo can be transported southward."

There are also people who travel by land.

They transport groceries from north to south several times a year, and they often encounter other caravans.

There are also countless farmers and traders who go south to sell grain every winter.

I heard that famines often occurred in Guanzhong in the early years, but I have never heard of them again in recent years.

This is due to the high yield of corn on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is due to these Hedong elders who went south to sell grain.

At that time, the sage ordered that the checkpoints on the Guan Road were not allowed to collect tolls from these Hedong elders, and a market was specially opened in Xinfeng.

I wonder if he had this consideration at the time.

Most of these young ladies have never traveled far before, so it is always very refreshing to hear people talk about many of these things when they travel far for the first time.

When their fleet arrived in Linfen, as the number of people increased, the original ships were no longer able to accommodate them, so the people carrying groceries from the north and south prepared to rent an additional ship.

When a gentleman in Linfen City heard about this, he rented a boat with his own money, and let the local ladies in Linfen take the boat to go south.

He also invited other ladies to ride with him.

The husband told the young ladies that it was a good thing to go to Luo's Machinery Workshop to learn skills.

After the young ladies learned the skills, they should not forget to bring these skills back to their hometowns to benefit the hometown.

The further south you go, the more young ladies want to go to the machine workshop, because the south is closer to Chang'an City and has better information.

Many people have heard of Luo's Machine Workshop, and many parents support their daughters to learn skills there.

It is said that there was also a young lady who did not want to go, but was forced to go by her parents.

Huang Erniang and others also found it strange when they heard about this.

When we arrived at Tongguan, what we saw were huge ships.

Those ships were so big and their masts were so high.

Everyone standing on the ship seemed to be the size of a bird.

They also changed boats at Tongguan, and then walked up the Yellow River for a while, and then entered the Wei River.

They heard that in the west of Chang'an, there was a canal connecting the Wei River and the Chang'an West Market.

The West Market was very close to the north and south groceries.

Before their group arrived in Chang'an City, Luo Yong had already received the news and began to prepare for the resettlement of this group of women from Hedong.

The city of Chang'an is very hot in the summer.

These young ladies came from Hedong Road and have probably never experienced such a hot summer.

Luo Yong is worried that some of them will get sick.

In this era, there is a lack of medical treatment, so getting sick is a very serious matter.

Dangerous things.

At the same time, the major families in Chang'an City and many officials in the DPRK also received the news.

Luo's Machinery Workshop said it was an autumn recruitment.

Not long after this, many women from all over the country gathered in Chang'an City.

From Hedong Road alone, more than 300 people came in one breath.

This was just a group.

It’s just a human being, I don’t know how many there will be later.

So that morning, someone impeached Luo Yong, saying that he was disturbing people's hearts and that women in the world would no longer want to live in peace with their husbands and raise children.

They only wanted to run away, which was against the principles of human ethics and was not conducive to the people of the world living and working in peace and contentment.

Proliferate.

This kind of routine of getting up and running is very common in this court, and it usually works well, but this time, it is destined to fail.

The reason is that with the continuous development of new textile machine technology, many large families have realized a huge business opportunity brought by this technology, that is, the foreign trade of fabrics.

A few months ago, when this new textile technology first came out, some people may not have realized this, but now that it has been so long, even if they did not expect it, they should have heard about it.

It is said that in countries such as Persia, the price of local fabrics is much more expensive than in Datang.

As for the Persian merchants, in addition to coming from the west trade route, there was another way, which was from the south sea route.

In recent years, with the emergence of the compass, southern shipping has become more and more prosperous, and the seaport on Lingnan Road has become more and more prosperous.

Since this spring, many big families have arranged for their clansmen to go to Lingnan Road.

Nowadays, many people in Chang'an City are waiting.

When the price of fabrics on the market drops to a certain level, they will make a big purchase and make a fortune.

Even if your family doesn't ship by sea, you can still sell it to others and sell it to Lingnan Road.

Whether it's sold to Han or Hu people, it's not difficult to resell it and make a profit.

There are also some rumors that those relatives of the emperor are also eyeing this deal.

At this time, someone jumped out to impeach Luo Yong.

Although they would not say that all of them would stand by Luo Yong, who wanted to have trouble with money.

Even the few veterans in the court who usually value these things the most did not say anything this time.

After all, they often represent not only themselves in the court, but also often have to consider The position of the family, as well as some allies, in-laws, etc., must be taken into account in all aspects.

Therefore, in the court that day, although Luo Yong was impeached and spoke righteously and sternly, everyone did not take it seriously.

Some people also say that letting those young ladies from other places come to Chang'an City to learn the skills and bring the weaving skills back to their hometowns in the future can also benefit the countryside.

It's the same thing, just in a different form.

But the skills Luo Yong taught these women were not just weaving.

He also taught them to build bridges, pave roads, and even build tall buildings.

Luo Yong replied that this was really a helpless move.

Even as women, not everyone is good at weaving.

Letting them learn those skills is nothing more than finding another way out for them.

Finally, Luo Yong said: "You are right.

Since you are a woman, weaving and tailoring is the right way.

This time for the women who come to Beijing, I will concentrate on teaching them to learn weaving.

I am going to open a women's textile college to teach weaving." skill" By the time the court came down, many people were still a little confused.

They had just received a painless impeachment.

How could they suddenly start a women's textile college again?

Some of those who reacted quickly had already figured it out by this time.

Didn't Luo Yong think that their Luo's Machinery Workshop was too small to accommodate so many people?

No, if you gave him an excuse, he would do something big again.

Yes, this is just following the stick.

Many people are happy to see this women's textile college come to fruition.

Luo Yong is building a new school, and major families can fill it with people.

Based on past experience, it is best to enter at this time.

And Na Luo Yong is really courageous.

He has just received a little attention, and stalls are being built one after another.

Isn't he afraid that the big tree will attract the wind?

Luo Yong was indeed a little scared earlier.

After all, he had been born in poverty in both his life and had never seen any big scenes.

He was somewhat afraid of the upper class.

Now he is thinking about it a little bit, and no longer wants to be safe and comprehensive in everything.

Why should he bother to be a tree if the tree attracts the wind?

Why not be an eagle?

When the wind comes, he will ride on the wind. gd1806102:
