Chapter 443: Tidal Period


When Huang Erniang and the others arrived in Chang'an City, it was the end of the sixth lunar month, the hottest time of the year in Chang'an City.

The fleet entered the city along the artificial canal connecting the Wei River and Chang'an City.

Before they saw the city wall, they already saw the scene of prosperity.

The farmers and vendors walking on the river bank, and the country children playing in groups, are mostly wearing colorful clothes, with bright colors and various vague patterns.

When the fleet was resting at the shore, some people would come over to sell them.

They had everything on their load, but the most popular thing among the young ladies were the colorful bouquets.

You could buy two of them for a penny.

Someone just bought it here, and not long after, another vendor came over, selling very similar head flowers.

Three of them cost only a penny.

The young ladies crowded around to look at the head flowers, not caring about the hot weather and sweating.

Each one is new and unusual.

People from the North and South Grocery Stores told them that there are many such flowers in Chang'an, and the prices are almost the same, but there are many more styles and more choices than here.

But there are still many young ladies who couldn't help but love it in their hearts and spent money to buy it.

They put the flowers they bought on their heads, blew the summer wind and looked at the scenery on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, all the way into Chang'an City.

The East and West markets in Chang'an City opened at noon, and they happened to arrive in the afternoon, so these young ladies got to see the prosperity of the West Market.

This is the first time they have seen such a huge crowd of people.

There are many cargo ships like theirs parked on the ferry, and countless civilians are carrying goods back and forth.

They don't even need to carry them on their shoulders, but pack the goods in one package.

The bags were moved to those low cars, and then the cars were dragged ashore.

A few leading people on the boat over there went to organize the unloading of the cargo, while the ladies here were waiting on their own boats.

The boatman did not allow them to get off the boat for fear of getting lost.

Not long after, I saw someone pushing a very tall tower-like object from the shore.

Also pushed over was a ramp.

There was a pole on top of the tower, and a hook hung from the bottom of the pole.

One end of the ramp was hung on it.

Hook it up, and the people below work together to shake the handle.

Before the ladies on the boat next to them can see clearly how they are doing it, the ramp is installed, and the people moving the goods are dragging the cars and filing down the slope.

Got on a cargo ship on the road After the unloading matters were arranged, the people from the north and south hired dozens of carriages, and the ladies were loaded onto the carriages one by one and transported to Shengpingfang.

The carriage was just an ordinary rental carriage, and it was pulled by a short horse.

The carriages were also very ordinary and simple.

The weather was hot now, so many carriages only had cloth curtains in front and back, and at most a crossbar was erected to prevent the people on the carriages.

If you fall down, the curtain may not be washed very diligently, and there will inevitably be some smell.

The young ladies lift the curtain to see the scene along the street, as if they don't want to miss it once.

After that, they were arranged in the courtyard of Shengpingfang.

Although the houses there had not been repaired for a long time, they were still quite habitable.

Later, they were divided into groups of ten, and each group chose a team leader.

Under the leadership of each team leader, they began their study and life in Chang'an City.

At this time, it is not yet July, and there is still some time before the official registration on the first day of August.

However, there are a lot of foreign women who have come to Chang'an City in advance, and all those who find the Luo family will be arranged here. .

The news soon spread in Chang'an City.

Some young ladies who had been living elsewhere gathered in Shengpingfang after hearing about this incident.

With so many people living in this compound, they had to eat and drink every day, and there were also a lot of trivial things.

Luo Yong left these things to Wulang and Qiniang to take care of them.

Liulang went to Henan Road to build roads earlier.

He is now concentrating on his studies at the machine shop, and he is indeed studying well.

Luo Yong plans to let him study there first and stay for a few years.

Looking back at the situation later, he is only a teenager now.

As long as young people are willing to study and work hard, they will definitely find a way out and have nothing to worry about.

Relatively speaking, Wu Lang and Liu Niang have bigger problems.

Wu Lang doesn't care much about anything, and he looks like a wandering crane.

Qiniang is too concerned about everything, greedy for novelty and lacks determination.

Although she is somewhat clever and energetic, she lacks perseverance.

Both of these people made Luo Yong worried, and it was obviously not good to let them go like this.

"Brother, you don't care about those trivial matters."

Qiniang grumbled and said, "Brother, you don't care about those chores."

Luo Yong has been coaxing them to work since he was a child.

In the past in Xipo Village, when they were barely able to walk, Luo Yong would coax her and Liulang to feed the chickens, and always put high hats on them, which made them both confused.

I thought that if I didn't feed the chickens well, my family would go bankrupt.

I was very worried and serious, and worked diligently every day.

"I don't have enough time, how about you and I change, I will take care of those things, and you will be the county magistrate for me."

Luo Yong raised his head and looked at Qiniang, and after only taking care of it for a few days, he groaned Chirping started.

"Brother, why don't we hire someone to take care of it."

Qiniang wanted to give up her job.

"Then you can find someone to come and see with me."

Luo Yong didn't really want to keep the two siblings working at the Textile College.

A few days after Luo Yu said this, Qiniang recommended several candidates to him.

After reading them one by one, she was not very satisfied.

Qiniang looked around and couldn't find anyone suitable, so she went to ask her aunt for help.

The managers under her were carefully selected and trained with great efforts, especially if they really wanted to be assigned to the Textile College as management. , such a person, under her hands, is also a top talent, how can she let go of him so easily.

The aunt came to ask Luo Yong, but Luo Yong said it was nothing.

Qiniang herself did not want to work and wanted to find someone to cover the pot, so she told her not to take it seriously.

As a result, the aunt gave Qiniang a scolding, saying that she was seventeen years old this year, and she was still thinking about playing all day long, and asked her to take charge of the Textile College.

What a good job, no other little lady could ask for.

Come.

It's not that Qiniang doesn't want to take care of these things at all, the main thing is that there are too many and complicated things, and she feels too tired.

Fortunately, a few days later, Wulang finally found a good candidate.

That man was a domestic slave of a friend of Wu Lang's.

His ancestors were barbarians from the southern mountainous area.

No one is sure which mountainous area and which tribe he belongs to.

I only know that his great-grandfather was kidnapped by human traffickers, tied up with ropes, and driven all the way outside Chang'an City.

He was sold to Wulang's friend's house, and he farmed land in a manor outside the city.

Later, he married a woman who was also a domestic slave.

After giving birth to children, they are passed down from generation to generation, and they become closer and closer to the master's family.

The man recommended by Wulang was named Zhou Xing.

Zhou was the surname of his master's family.

Because he was a slave during his time, he gradually adopted the surname of his master's family.

Originally, Zhou Xing's family lived with the host's family in Guangfufang.

Last autumn, there was a primary school in Chang'an County.

The one in the north of the city was not far from their residence at that time, so Zhou Xing moved his My two grandchildren were sent there to study, and unexpectedly they both excelled.

In the spring of this year, Zhou Xing went to the master's house to ask for help.

He said that he wanted to get rid of his lowly status for the sake of his children and grandchildren.

The family knew that it was not easy to change their household registration, so it was better to let his two grandchildren study first.

Ah Xing, his son and daughter-in-law were still working in the house.

If they could really make a difference in the future, they would make long-term plans.

Ah Xing was unwilling, and told the story of the war in the early years.

His father and brother followed his master's family to seek refuge in various places, and they were loyal for generations.

Some even lost their lives to protect their master's family.

Please take this affection into consideration and protect their family. release.

It was a bit unpleasant after the quarrel, but Zhou's family finally released the family, along with the savings of several generations of his family, and helped them change their household registration.

Because of this matter, some rumors arose among many people who were familiar with each other, saying that Zhou Xing was trying to repay his kindness, saying that he was not a good person after all, and was not as loyal as his father and brother.

There were also those who were slaves with them in the Zhou Mansion in the past, and some of them looked down upon their family.

When they met on the road, they would spit on them to show their contempt and disgust.

After leaving the Zhou Mansion, the life of Zhou Xing's family was indeed much harder than before.

Wulang and the others had met him on the street earlier, when he was selling cakes along the street carrying a burden.

This man was originally a relatively high-status steward in the Zhou Mansion, but now he looks really down and out.

Many people can't understand his choice.

This time the Women's Textile College was looking for a manager, and Wulang's friend, the young man of the Zhou family, remembered his old servant Zhou Xing.

Although he was dissatisfied with his behavior of insisting on breaking away from the Zhou family even if he hurt his old relationship, he still couldn't see him in such a state of desolation, so the young man said to Wu Lang, if not, just ask Ah Xing, even if he can't be a big boss.

It's okay to be a small steward, but it's better than being a hawker outside.

The next day, Luo Yong was at the Chang'an County Government and sent someone to invite Zhou Xing to come and talk.

Zhou Xing was less than fifty years old, had a goatee, and looked a bit like an old man. , The spirit is hale and hearty, and there is no decaying smell of dying.

Luo Yong knew after talking to him for a few words that he was indeed a smart man, very measured in his advance and retreat, and his words and deeds made people feel very kind.

Luo Yong asked him why he wanted to leave his old master's house.

He said it was because he was catching up with the tide.

At present.

"Have you ever seen the hungry people who eat with the abundance?

In the early years, there was a famine in Guanzhong.

Many people went to the outside of the Guan to seek food.

Those who traveled the farthest were from Hexi to Lingnan.

On weekdays, if There are only three to five common people, how can we get to these places?"

"Nowadays, paper and pens are cheap and food is abundant.

In Chang'an City, there are countless young people who can read and write.

When these young people complete their studies, they will find a way out for themselves, just like hungry people chasing food.

There are so many people and so many people.

It’s so powerful and so hungry for food that no one can stop it.”

That afternoon, after Luo Yong talked with Zhou Xing, he personally sent him outside the main gate of the Chang'an County Government Palace.

A few days later, this Nanman descendant named Zhou Xing officially became a steward of the Women's Textile College, in charge of all chores and logistics. gd1806102:
