153. Timing
Most people in this era keep their promises and value their reputation very much. So Luo Yong said that he would give each village a threshing machine, and then he would definitely give it to him.
It is precisely because the people in those villages believed this, that they looked forward to it and were full of expectations.
The manufacturing cost of a threshing machine is about three jin of money. Now in Lishi County, every household in a village can get it together, and if it is exchanged for some poor villages, not to mention three jin of money, even three hundred jin of money may not be able to get it.
As an important agricultural production tool, they can't afford to buy all of them. At this time, Luo Yong said he would give them one without money. These villagers were naturally excited and looked forward to it.
In Luo Yong's opinion, it is safer to bear huge debts than wealthy families, especially when he is not only burdened with huge debts, but also has great ability to make money.
So this time he not only wants to ruin himself, but also owes a huge debt. It doesn't matter that he can pay off this debt slowly in the days to come, but if his life is lost, everything will be over.
At this moment, there are only about 300,000 households in the entire Hedong Road. If you talk about villages, you can't tell if there are two thousand large and small ones. These two thousand threshing machines can afford them, and you can afford them.
As for the place outside Hedong Road, Luo Yong has not mentioned it yet. He neither said he would give it or not. He also had to check the situation before making a decision.
Luo Yong has always known what he did, and sooner or later, it will bring disaster. He just doesn't know when and in which way those people will take action.
This time, he was lucky. He had just put his golden bell-covered iron cloth shirt on his body, and the people in Chang'an City made a move.
After hearing the news, those who were waiting for the threshing machine to enter the village were uneasy and indignant.
Such a good Luo Sanlang, they actually wanted to capture him as a monster and beat him? Those people's consciences were eaten by dogs!
Many people went to the local government to petition, saying that Luo Sanlang was a good person and not a monster. The husband in Chang'an City might not know much about the situation, so they asked their local officials to write to the emperor and told them not to beat Luo Sanlang as a monster.
So in the days that followed, several books of the people of the People were sent to Chang'an City one after another. The people of Hedongdao had a clear attitude and they wanted Paul Saburo.
In some prefectures and counties south of Hedong Road, which is not too far from Chang'an City, there are even many heroes crossing the Yellow River together to Chang'an.
Not to mention the threshing machine, Luo Sanlang's development in Lishi County in recent years has also had a great impact on the surrounding areas. Not to mention anything else, just on this official road, merchants travel every day, and the cities, villages and towns on both sides of the official road have been injected with new vitality. Now those people actually want to kill Luo Sanlang's life! How can their Hedongdao elders agree?
This was beyond Luo Yong's expectations. He originally thought that with these threshing machines as bait, coupled with the reputation and popularity he had managed in the past two years, when the disaster was in place, everyone could stand up and express their opinions and talk to him, even if it was quite good. Unexpectedly, these people who were not familiar with him could go to Chang'an City for this matter, risking offending those powerful people to stand up for him.
Among these people are poor people, some wealthy merchants and even some local families. While their team is moving forward, they are constantly gathering new entrants. By the time Chang'an City is approaching, there is already a huge crowd.
Before they arrived in Chang'an City, they had an outpost to report the matter to the relevant officials. This matter was involved a lot. The court still quarreled continuously in the past few days, and the official did not dare to make a decision, so he reported it to his superiors.
"There are hundreds of people from Hedong who came for Narosanlang and arrived at the city gate in an hour."
His boss reported the matter to the palace again, and soon Li Shimin learned the news.
Li Shimin took a few trusted ministers to go outside Chang'an City to welcome the Hedong elders.
"The long road is long, why are the Hedong elders coming?" His Majesty the Emperor got off from his majestic carriage, stood by the loess road, and bowed to the Hedong people.
"Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for many years, can you still be safe?" An old man stepped forward a few steps and bowed to His Majesty the Emperor.
"I am safe, all the Hedong elders?" asked His Majesty the Emperor.
"It's very good. Now that the weather is peaceful, the weather is good, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the people in Hedong are grateful for the grace of Your Majesty." This old man is not an impatient person.
"Since that's the case, why do you come today?" His Majesty the Emperor asked with a smile.
"Hey..." the old man sighed and said, "I heard from those merchants that there are several high-ranking officials in the court who want to capture Na Luo Sanlang as a monster and beat him. Na Luo Sanlang is a good person. Daemon and Chunliang, how can he catch it and beat him as a monster..."
"Hahahahaha!" After hearing this, His Majesty the Emperor burst into laughter: "Don't believe those gossips. My Li family treats Hedong as his hometown. How can a young man in his hometown be arrested and beaten to be a monster?"
"But we heard that the Censor Wu and others..." Someone next to him interjected carefully.
"Hey." His Majesty the Emperor waved his sleeves and said decisively: "How could Luo Sanlang's life be counted by just a censor? You can go to the family with peace of mind. I will protect him with this person."
"Your Majesty's wise!" When the elders heard this, they were very happy. It seemed that they were worried for nothing. No matter how powerful the Censor Wu was, he could still compare with His Majesty the Emperor? The emperor said he wanted Paul Saburo, so it must be fine.
"Your Majesty is wise!" At this moment, the image of His Majesty the Emperor was several times taller than before in the minds of the Hedong elders, and their admiration was beyond words.
"I have also heard people say these days that Luo Sanlang wants to deliver threshing machines to the elders?" After the hot atmosphere passed a little, His Majesty the Emperor asked again with a smile.
"Hey, we're afraid we won't be able to send it to you for a while." The old man was embarrassed. He didn't make a threshing machine to make a head for Narasaburo.
"Hahaha!" His Majesty the Emperor laughed again: "He is a young country man, how much family can he have? I am already dispatching craftsmen, so I will ask them to take a group of fine iron to Lishi County soon. If nothing unexpected happens, you will be able to get a threshing machine before the autumn harvest this year."
"Thank you Your Majesty!!!"
"Your Majesty the Emperor is wise!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
“…”
In this way, these people traveled thousands of miles to Chang'an City. Before they even entered the city gate, they first met the Sheng and then heard two exciting news. One was that Luo Sanlang was fine, and the other was that the villages in the south could be assigned a threshing machine before this autumn harvest.
After meeting the saint, there were special officials responsible for resettlementing them and taking them to a place to rest, provide food and water. They sent the people away early the next morning, and gave them ideological education classes before leaving. If you have anything to do next time, just react with the local officials. There is no need to come to Chang'an City so far. Don't talk about your hard work. If you meet a villain and have some danger, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about whether it is true for your family.
·
Luo Yong received this news and it was more than ten days later. At this time, he looked at his property. Not only did he consume all the copper coins and cloths before, he still owed a lot of money.
A few days ago, since I learned about the news from Chang'an City and learned that the officials were going to capture Luo Sanlang as a monster, the craftsmen working here refused to get their wages. They worked all day long and delivered the threshing machines to the villagers, hoping that in this way, things could turn around.
The rich merchants and households in Lishi County also brought a lot of things to Luo Yong, some of whom gave money and some of whom gave wood and iron.
When facing this incident, everyone's opinions were very unified, whether it was a high-ranking or a small-sized family in Lishi County, that is, they must protect Luo Sanlang.
The men who lived in the Xu family's house also launched a charity donation, and the drip of water should be repaid with a spring of water. Since they learned something from Luo Yong, they naturally could not watch him suffer. Moreover, in the eyes of them, Luo Yong would never be erased so easily.
The struggles in the court have always been complicated. Just when those people were clashing with Luo Yong and involved the Bai family and several other families, this matter was destined not to be as they wished easily.
However, there are also some timid people who don’t want to cause trouble and leave Xipo Village as soon as they get the news.
Such people are destined to be disgraced, not only Luo Yong, but everyone who knows their behavior today will treat them as villains without loyalty in the future.
When things developed here, Luo Yong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Luo Yong had previously believed that with the current situation, his actions and values, the emperor should not ignore him, but that was only the right one. Who could really understand what the person was thinking about? However, Luo Yong would never dare to bet on his and his family's lives.
It is good to have a backer, but Luo Yong never thought that he would rely entirely on a backer to survive in this world and hand over his own and his family's destiny to the other party.
He will rely on his own strength to struggle to live in this world. When facing a crisis, he will use all his strength and will never sit still and wait for death.
But after this incident, many people will inevitably be afraid of him.
This kind of thing is inevitable. The weak are bullied and the strong are afraid of others. It is not just targeting Luo Yong, but everyone is like this.
There will be no real safety and peace in this world, without any danger or harm.
