In the seventh month of the lunar calendar, under the scorching sun, on the dirt road coming from Pingyi County, you can see one or two porters carrying plaster from time to time.

Recently, the cement business in Xipo Village is not as good as before. There are fewer people who come to pick up plaster from Pingyi County. I am afraid that I will work hard to pick it up, and Luo Sanlang and others will not accept it.

Outside Lishi County, the once noisy and lively cement market had shrunk sharply at this time, because not many foreign merchants would come to them to buy cement, and there were not many people in this market all day long. So the county reduced the market to half its size.

Even so, the market still seems very empty. In the past, a large number of foreign merchants were driving ox and horse carriages waiting for goods. Now it has become the porters who transported cement from Xipo Village to guard the goods and wait for others to purchase them.

The car rental shop next to the cement market is also deserted.

This car rental store was jointly driven by several young people. These people originally had a good relationship with Ma Jiu, but they didn't have a regular businessman. They stayed in the city all day long and had a bad reputation. After all, they were not as good as Ma Jiu, and they had such a reliable father and brother to support and discipline.

"I'll ask, can Luo Sanlang in Xipo Village still collect gypsum recently?" At noon that day, two men carrying loads put down their loads outside the shed of the car rental store, and asked the two shops who were napping in the straw shed.

"What? Plaster..." The young man in the straw hut narrowed his eyes in a daze. After a while, he realized and said, "Check it, they keep collecting it."

"Oh, thank you." When the two of them heard that they were willing to collect plaster in Xipo Village, they were immediately very happy and took on the burden and left.

"Hey, what are you going to hide here from us?" The shop in the straw hut yawned and greeted them: "Come in and have a drink of water, I'll send you a message."

"What a trust?" These two plain people often picked plaster to Xipo Village to sell. They became somewhat familiar with the people in the car dealer and knew that they were not evil people.

"I came in and I was doing something outside, so I didn't feel so hot that I was too sunny." The man said, and he yawned again.

"What a trust?" The two men put a load of plaster they carried outside the straw hut, walked into the straw hut as they said, and sat down on a dilapidated wooden couch.

"You have come here to sell plaster these days, and you don't have to go as far as Xipo Village. Luo Sanlang's disciples have built a few cement workshops in several villages around Shi County a few days ago. You can go wherever you see." The young man used a stone pottery bowl to make two bowls of water and handed them.

"Why do you have to build so many cement workshops?" the two plain men said inexplicably.

"It's used to repair ditches, you don't know. There is also a water truck. Isn't our governor Hao currently promoting it?" the store replied.

"I have heard of the canal matters, and I just learned about the cement workshop."

The two of them poured the bowl of clean water in a few mouthfuls, then wiped the sweat from their foreheads, and then asked the store of the car rental store which places were boiling cement. If there were closer to Pingyi County, they wouldn't have to come here at that time.

The store in the car rental store knew it very well, and even explained it to them clearly.

Didn’t Luo Sanlang say before that if they want to make money, they must first revitalize the pool of water in Lishi County, and have to have a source of water, so that those outsiders can be willing to come to Lishi County. These young people think this is particularly reasonable, especially after they started a car rental store themselves, they understand the benefits of having a wide range of friendships and more good relationships. Therefore, even when they were looking at two porters who seemed extremely poor, the young people were very enthusiastic and friendly.

After the two plains left, the shop owner, who was originally warm and friendly, raised his legs and kicked his partner who was sleeping like a dead pig on another wooden couch.

"Hey, stop sleeping," he shouted.

"What?" his partner replied in a bad mood.

"You go to the city and find all of them." The man said.

"What should I do for them at this midday?" The man on the couch turned over and didn't think about getting up at all.

"We have to have a good talk. I don't think this matter will be delayed anymore. Hurry up and find a few carpenters to build more wooden cars." The man said.

"You are stupid, you can't even make a business. Are you still making a car?" The man on the couch finally got a little bit of energy at this time.

"You are stupid." The young man said: "Look at Na Luo Sanlang and the others. Now that they can build cement workshops near our county town, what irrigation system will be promoted to Pingyi Dinghu, will they also build several cement workshops there?"

"...it should be something." What does this have to do with making a car?

"Then you say that when Luo Sanlang drives the cement workshop to their side, a load of cement costs only five cents. He can exchange lime plaster and work to pay for it. Will the people there build roads at that time?" the man said again.

"...It must be repaired." His friend thought for a while and nodded. Even if the village is not repaired, the roads that come out of the county will always need to be repaired.

"So we have to build a car as soon as possible, right?" The guy said and kicked his friend again.

"Hey! You're right!" His friend finally realized this time, turned over and sat up from the wooden couch, and said happily.

"You should go into the city now, we have to be ahead of others."

"I'll go now."

"Call them all over, and no one is allowed to leave."

"Why."

"If anyone is silly, we will kick him and don't think about joining the group next time."

"OK."

These people are currently driving this car rental store and often dealing with the peddlers and pawns. They also deeply realize that the terrain in this area of ​​Shizhou is always very changeable.

Like the two flat barbarians who came to sell plaster just now, they could not push the carts at all in many places and could only carry the loads. However, when they reached a flat place, carrying the loads was not as easy as pushing the carts. But when they were halfway up, where would they get the carts? So the car rental deal came.

Generally, wheelbarrow flatbed trucks made of wood do not require much capital.

If you do not require the exquisite workmanship, you do not need to hire those very powerful craftsmen. As long as ordinary rural craftsmen can do it, the wages are not high. In addition, they have rich local timber resources, so they don’t even need to spend money to buy it. Just find a place without a master and cut it.

Therefore, the cost of renting a car is actually very low. Although the profit is not high, as long as they spread the stalls large enough and accumulate a lot, the income will definitely be quite considerable.

That afternoon, when Luo Yong drove the carriage past the car rental store, he was stopped by several shop owners in the car rental store.

"Sanlang Sanlang, are you planning to build a cement workshop on Pingyi Dinghu?" a young man asked Luo Yong.

"It should be something." Luo Yongxin thought that these guys reacted quite quickly.

"Come on, sit in the shed." The people greeted Luo Yong enthusiastically.

"I have to go back soon," Luo Yong refused.

"We have already memorized the joke you left for us last time. Come and check it." Several young men led the horses and dragged the people, and in a few moments, they pulled Luo Yong into their straw hut.

"So fast?" Luo Yong didn't resist very much.

"Of course, if you don't believe me, come and check it." The man said, and brought a basket woven with straw from the side. He saw that there were many large and small pieces of paper, each piece of paper filled with black squares.

Luo Yong checked it briefly, then took a pen and paper from the table next to him, wrote a word on it, and asked them, "Do you know this word?"

"..." Several shop owners scratched their ears and foreheads, and after a while, someone finally remembered: "Tong, Tong Hua's immortal Tong."

"What about this word?" Luo Yong wrote another word on the paper.

"Wu, these two words are combined to be Wutong." After recognizing the word Tong, it will be much easier to recognize the word Wu.

After that, Luo Yong wrote a few more words. Seeing that although these people were not very skilled, they could basically recognize them, he took out a piece of hemp paper from his sleeve: "The next plot is here, you can listen..."

Luo Yong said, and slowly recited the content written on the hemp paper. If there was another person around Luo Yong who had traveled from the 21st century at this time, it would be possible that Luo Yong's reading at this time was clearly a masterpiece by a famous celebrity who had once been popular on the Internet.

Even in the 21st century, online novels can attract a large number of fans when facing those knowledgeable modern people, let alone this poor and boring era.

A few days ago, for the sake of this irrigation system, Luo Yong talked with these young shops when he passed by this car rental store and learned that they actually wanted to learn calligraphy, but there was no place to learn it. Moreover, they are a little older now, so it is really difficult for them to calm down and recognize calligraphy one by one.

It is really inconvenient to not know how to read, especially for young people who plan to start their own careers and may have to go out to explore the world in the future.

After Luo Yong came home that day, he thought about it, and then he flipped out a printed version of the online novel from the pile of books in his space, copied it a little with paper and pen. Next time he passed by this car rental store, he brought it to these people and read it to them in person twice, and then ignored it, just asked them to recognize words on the piece of paper.

If you want to say that the charm of online novels is really huge, those young people became completely addicted after having a little contact with them. After pronunciating them twice, they were not enough to recognize all the words on the paper, so they often went to the city to find someone to ask.

These people have a bad reputation and are very low-class. The few scholars in Lishi County do not like to deal with them very much, so this process depends on their expressions.

But no matter what, these guys still persisted. Some of them learned better, they really recognized some words, and some of them didn't work hard, just following their friends to listen to stories.

Luo Yong also discovered it, but he didn't want to say much. It was not that he was asking to teach these people, but it was just that they wanted to learn, so they wanted to help. If they didn't like to learn, then he would go.

Today's story still makes these young people scratch their ears and cheeks still excited.

After Luo Yong left, they took advantage of the moment that they still had memories and quickly sat down to memorize the text. Some were squatting, some were kneeling, and some were lying on their ragged wooden couches. They seemed to be very hardworking.

"Is it really that difficult to build the foundation of this foundation?"

"That must be very difficult."

"Or else wouldn't there be gods everywhere in the world?"

"After building the foundation, you are not a god, there is still a elixir behind the foundation, and the Nascent Soul... Sanlang said what else is there?"

"It's early, the boy surnamed Wu is still in the Qi training period."

"That little girl is so cute when she is with him."

"Hehehe..."

"The little lady surnamed Liu is also good."

"Are you going to collect it?"
