This time, most of the Hu people who came to Xipo Village with Zhao Chen and others were recruited by the Zhao family at the Chengzhou market. Some of them had dealt with before, and some of them had just met at that market.

It has to be said that this large-scale Chengzhou Market has greatly promoted trade and exchanges between the grassland people and the Han people, as well as between the grassland people and the grassland people.

The Tang government wants to strengthen their control over the grassland and can do work in this market. Judging from the current attitude of the court, they have obviously realized this.

Zhao Chen took his subordinates and the Hu people he had just recruited to Xipo Village and planned to go directly to Liangzhou City.

These people were talking about how lively the market on the prairie was, how prosperous Liangzhou City was, and the villagers in the village were full of yearning for the outside world. The adults were not bad, but the children were already making noises. They also went to Tian Chonghu to do work, and asked him to take him to Liangzhou City in the future.

Si Niang Wulang also wanted to go to Liangzhou City, but Luo took a photo back in one sentence: "Stay home honestly, no one is allowed to run out until he was eighteen years old."

The second wife alone has already made him worry enough. These young people want to join in the fun.

In order to often get news about Er Niang and the others in Liangzhou City, Luo Yong told them when he learned that Wang Dang and others were also willing to go to Liangzhou City:

"This is a high mountain and a long road. It is better to be safe and secure in Shizhou. But if you really want to go, you often bring me some news back from there, which is of course the best. However, whether it is soap or other things on my side, I can give you priority."

After Luo Yong said this, Wang Dang and others were already a little excited and could not hold back.

Zhao Chen is the eldest son and grandson of the Zhao family in Shuozhou. Although the Zhao family is not a high-ranking family, it also has some fame and reputation. If they go to Shuozhou City with the Zhao family this time, this trip should be safe and safe.

I heard that there were business opportunities everywhere in Shuozhou City. If they ran this business road in the future, Zhao Chen, Luo Erniang and others took root in Shuozhou City in front, and Luo Sanlang provided support to them behind. No matter how you think about it, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Without hesitation for too long, Wang Dang and others quickly gathered a group of people and decided to go to Liangzhou City with Zhao Chen and others in a few days.

Zhao Chen was very welcome to Wang Dang and others to join. From Lishi to Liangzhou City, it was not safer than the road to Chang'an City. Zhao Chen was naturally happy to have so many powerful men of Kong and martial arts joining their team. He also promised that if Wang Dang and others would encounter something in Liangzhou City in the future, they would go to their Zhao family's guest house to find him. As long as he could help, Zhao Chen would not have any words.

Those who walk outside all year round naturally have multiple friends and roads. Wang Dang values ​​loyalty the most, and his brothers are not bad either. Zhao Chen also intends to make friends with them.

The two sides hit it off. When the group left Xipo Village at the end of May, Zhao Chen's team was at the front, Erniang and the others were in the middle, and Wang Dang and others behind.

There is Zhao Chen in front and Wang Dang behind. Such a large group of people are walking on the road in a vast way. Logically speaking, there should be no need to worry about any safety issues.

Luo Yong sent them all the way outside the village, and many villagers also followed suit. Tian Chonghu's mother was also in the crowd. Seeing his children sitting on the ox cart and walking farther and farther away as the team went, she wiped a few tears. Seeing Luo Yong looking at them, she shrank and avoided the side.

Luo Yong did not go up to say anything to them, nor did he give them any good looks. These two people were lazy and confused. Luo Yong wanted to make them afraid of themselves, so as not to relax, and began to do some confusing things with luck and cause trouble for the village.

In this era, traveling far away is definitely not an easy thing. Er Niang and the others were quite excited at the beginning and were curious about everything they saw on the road. After three or five days, they gradually realized what it means to be tired from the journey.

The four of them were assigned a ox cart, and there were also luggage bags for the few of them, as well as various seasonings and other items, so the four of them had to take turns taking the bus and had to change people from time to time to walk.

Er Niang and the others are all pretty good. Wang Dang's group of people carried loads, carts, and even went on the road empty-handed, let alone taking a cart.

When it is sunny, the sun is so strong that it seems like it is necessary to bake all the oil on people's body. The sweat on the body is dry and wet, wet and dry.

If you can't find a place to shelter when it rains, a whole team of people will have to stay on the dirt road and let the rain water pour it. Even if there are oil paper and oil paper umbrellas, it will inevitably get damp and muddy.

Erniang and the others had always stayed in Xipo Village before, and they hadn't even been to the county town a few times. Their Xipo Village has been getting better and better in the past two years, and gradually, they have forgotten the poverty in the past.

This time, after crossing the Yellow River, he left the city and walked on the deserted plateau. He suddenly realized what desolation and poverty meant. Their Xipo Village was originally very poor, but this place was poorer than theirs.

The wheat in the fields on the roadside was ripe, and the farmers were harvesting. When they saw their large group of people walking on the dirt road that had been disrepair, the villagers were both alert and curious, and stopped their work and looked at them.

Erniang and the others were also looking at the farmers, the old man with a pale face and the children with unclothed clothes.

Seeing them sitting by the field and using their hands to pull down the wheat grains from the wheat ears, Erniang suddenly remembered that Luo Yong had sent a threshing machine before. At first, she didn't understand. If she had money, it would be okay to give some, why did she have to give it even if she had no money to pay?

Now she suddenly felt a little guilty about her thoughts at that time. Compared with these people, what are the debts their family owed? Even if the business of the cement workshop is not as good as before, there are still some daily imports. There are so many Eucommia saplings planted on the slope. After harvesting them a year or two, they will be made into Eucommia ulmoides glue, but I don’t know how much it can be sold.

Her Sanlang is a capable person, and many people in the county are willing to lend him money, so even if they owe so much debt, their family has never been hungry for a day, and their food, clothing and expenses are no different from before.

Although she later learned that Luo Yong had his own intentions when he did this, now it seems that even if he had no purpose and was better at home, Luo Yong should have done something for these poor people.

Erniang also felt that his approach was indeed very right.

In Lishi County, at this time, basically all villages have used foot-stitched threshing machines. Although there is only one threshing machine in a village, it is still relatively nervous to use, but it is much easier and less labor-saving than when there were no threshing machines in the past.

After some wealthy families with a lot of fields learned how useful the threshing machine was, they came to Xipo Village to buy it. Luo Yong sold them a threshing machine for five jin. It was not bad, but it was not very cheap.

The money he got was basically used to buy wood and fine iron. Even the iron cauldron that Tian Chonghu used to stinky tofu to be fried was taken by Luo Yong to dismantle the parts of the blacksmith to make the threshing machine.

At the same time, dozens of craftsmen who came from Chang'an City had already reached the boundary of Jinzhou by this time.

The road from Chang'an City is much easier to walk than the road that Luo Erniang and the others went west. However, in this summer, it is not easy to walk. In addition to the tools they need to use to work, they also brought many fine irons that His Majesty had exchanged for the money for selling cement. The pieces of iron were heavy, and they were piled up separately on different wooden carts. The people in front were dragged and the people behind were pushed, and they walked all the way.

Those who walked with these craftsmen were also the officials sent by the governor Hao and His Majesty the Emperor, namely Tang Jian. The emperor probably thought that Tang Jian and Luo Yong had communicated well, so he also replaced him this time and still asked him to come.

Tang Jian was quite happy, and it was not interesting to stay in Chang'an City. This time he came to supervise the manufacturing of the threshing machine, so he had to stay for a long time, so he thought it was just a vacation in Xipo Village.

After staying in Linfen and walking out to the north for another 10 or 20 miles, Hao Jianping and others found that the wheat field not far ahead was busy. When they got closer, they realized that they were using threshing machines to thresh wheat.

I grabbed handfuls of wheat in my hands, stepped on the drum on the threshing machine, and then pointed the ears of wheat in my hand at the roller. After a few strokes, the wheat grains on the lower side were beaten down and landed on the straw mat on the ground in front. Then I turned the other side of the ears to the roller, and brushed a few more times...

"This is a threshing machine, right?" Although these craftsmen knew that they were going to build a threshing machine this time, many of them saw a real thing for the first time.

"That's it." A idler from Tianbian said with a smile.

"Why is it Jinzhou's turn so soon?" Someone wondered. Jinzhou is a bit far from Shizhou. Could it be that the village in the middle has been divided into threshing machines at this time?

"Where can it be?" the man smiled and said, "This was bought by Luo Sanlang's disciple Wu Youtete from Xipo Village. He bought it early in the morning. He bought a total of three units, enough for their village."

"You are not from this village?" Tang Jian also got off the carriage at this time.

"No, we also came from Chang'an City and walked faster than you. We just met you on the road yesterday, and now the carriage is parked in Wu Dalang's yard." The man pointed to the direction of the Wu family's yard and said with a smile.

"So that's the case." Tang Jian knew Wu You. Every time he passed this journey, he would go to the Wu family yard to eat braised food.

"It seems that Wu You are making money now." Hao Jianping smiled.

"It's not that I don't have money to give to the villagers. I heard that they had to give Wu You a penny when using this threshing machine." When talking about this, the man thought it was quite interesting.

Although Wu You's family has made some money now, even if his master discounts him, it will cost more than ten yuan of money. It would be strange if he doesn't feel bad about it.

So Wu You told the villagers that he would spend money to buy the threshing machine first. If the villagers wanted to use it, they would be fine with a penny a day.

Although the villagers are frugal and want to break a penny into two petals on weekdays, they can still bear the expense of a penny a day during the busy farming season. With this machine, they can save a lot of time and effort.

Moreover, Wu Dalang was not as good as his financial conditions, and everyone was very grateful to have such a thing for the village. He only gave a penny in one day. Then Wu Dalang should not make money, as it would be good to be able to recover the capital.

"Have you all available here?"

"Is it used up?"

"Let's go, hurry up and carry it away. The wheat in my field has been cut, and I'm just waiting for this threshing machine."

"Don't be so anxious, there are still some in the ground."

"Just those trees, just use your hands to stroke them."

While talking, the two young men used a shoulder pole to put a string of wooden racks under the threshing machine, lifted them up and left.
