"The biggest input of their Wu family is those papermaking workshops. Luo Sanlang put out a straw paper and spread the papermaking method to the world, which is no different from digging their ancestral graves." Some families, which were also severely affected in the popularization of paper, could understand the mentality of the Wu family at this time.

"No matter what, you shouldn't use this trick. Luo Sanlang did this at such a young age. His deeds are circulating among the people, and the people also love them. Killing such people is clearly to leave a bad reputation for thousands of years." A man with a square face snorted coldly.

Looking back at the time when Laozi and Zhuang were alive, there were not many people who could not tolerate them, but who dared to kill the saints? Even if the people are ignorant and fooled, there are still many people in this world who are not easy to fool, especially political opponents are eyeing them.

A few days ago, the Censor Wu and others wanted to eliminate Luo Sanlang. The people of Hedong stood up to protect each other and got it, but in the end they were picked up by the emperor.

This is because they did not kill Na Luo Sanlang. If they were killed, public grievances arise. If the emperor is cruel and takes the opportunity, he will remove one or two aristocratic families to kill the chicken to warn the monkey and establish his power. It is not impossible.

"In your opinion, what should we do now?" a young man asked.

"Since Luo Sanlang has the ability to turn things around, we should take the opportunity to go with the trend, why do we have to go against the trend?" The husband said with a smile.

Soon after, some men from Chang'an City published some introductory books for their children in their families and distributed them to poor families in Chang'an City, so that they could also have the opportunity to recognize words.

Judging from the current trend, in the near future, students who take the imperial examination will definitely not be like the current ones, all the children of the gentry. Since this trend is irreversible, why not start to win people's hearts as soon as possible?

The behavior of these people soon attracted some exclusion from other gentry, believing that their behavior was really self-destructive and had no style.

The responsibility of their gentry is to assist the emperor in governing the country, and to be upright and polite. Even if the path of life and death is gone, they should live upright. How can they use such cleverness to win people's hearts with such small favors?

These words are very clear. At the very bottom of it, some people still don’t want the children of ordinary people to enter the court, and don’t want them to have the same opportunity as the gentry.

In short, within the gentry group, they often have completely different attitudes towards the same thing.

There were still constant quarrels in Chang'an City, and Bai Ershu and others who were in Lishi County were naturally labeled as pro-Luo Sect at this time. Even their entire family and some families that were closer were labeled as such, and they were vaguely rejected by most of the gentry groups.

This kind of rejection is mainly reflected in marriage and the appointment and removal of officials. During this period, a daughter of the Bai family was dismissed from engagement. Some Bai family members who were officials in the court were not in a good situation. The bigger problem was the official career of Bai Yimao and others.

According to Luo Yong, just these little boys are the most important thing to be the officials they want to be.

Those boys no longer have the pride they had when they first came to Xipo Village. They read and practiced calligraphy every day. In addition to arithmetic, Uncle Bai also taught them every day. When Luo Yong was not too busy, he would take his two Liulang and Qiniang to listen to the audience. The two young people still couldn't understand the designation, but Luo Yong felt that even if he couldn't understand, it would be good to be intoxicated.

As for Siniang and Wuro, the two of them are now completely pursuing the way to make money and never look back. Siniang stays in the shop there all day long, and Wuro wants to stop going to school.

They thought it was quite beautiful, saying that they would open a bookstore in Chang'an City in the future, so many people would be invited to help carve the plate and how many people would be responsible for photocopying. Luo Yong smiled when he heard it.

When Zhao Chen and his friends rode their horses to Xipo Village, Luo Yong and their disciples harvested millet on the slope.

This year, when these millets were grouted, the village's irrigation system was completed and absorbed a lot of cool stream water. The millets produced were also quite full. Everyone was very happy while collecting them.

"Your grain grows well. This acre of land is probably several buckets more than in previous years." A villager carrying a load looked into the land when he passed through the slope of the Luo family and said with a smile.

"It must be more than in previous years." One of Luo Yong's disciples also replied with a smile.

In previous years, if villagers planted millet on such slopes, the yield per mu was usually only one duct, and few could be raised two ducts. To be honest, the slope was not particularly poor, and it was mainly water scarcity. Each household planted dozens of acres or hundreds of acres of land. If people had to rely on manpower to carry water to irrigate the land, they would not be able to water it no matter what.

As soon as the irrigation system was started this year, the crops on the slope were obviously better than in previous years. They were only irrigated until the grouting was done. When the crops were taken out of the field next year and the next year, the water was poured on them. I don’t know how much the yield would be increased.

In fact, as now, everyone is already very happy that one acre of land can produce two or three dan of it, and the weather is good.

After Luo Yongtong came here, he felt a little moved. I remember when he was in elementary school, he told him in his textbook that the motherland has a vast land and a vast history. It is true that the land and a vast land and a vast land and a vast land and a vast land, and this is a question mark.

For example, in the early Tang Dynasty, there were only a few varieties of crops in this field. I won’t mention sweet potatoes. There was no corn originally, and wheat also came from other places. The rice varieties are currently relatively backward, and the yield is not high. Sorghum can be widely planted on the plateau. At this time, it is about Africa, and there are no peanuts...

If you don’t come to this era, Luo Yong will not really understand that those long history and splendid civilizations were not born in wealth, but were created bit by bit under difficult conditions.

Although the early Tang Dynasty was still a barren and backward era compared to the 21st century, it was more advanced and civilized than many countries in the world during the same period.

Being able to live in an advanced and civilized land is already a great blessing. If it were not for the generations of our predecessors, there would not be the Tang Dynasty today.

The villagers ran happily and told each other that this year the millet harvest was bumper, and most of each acre of land could produce more than two or three dans, especially those slopes that were not favored in previous years, which achieved good harvests this year.

"Has your Liangzhou City guest house been built?" Luo Yong invited Zhao Chen to his yard, and the people who came with Zhao Chen first went to the Xu family guest house to wash and rest.

"It's almost done." Zhao Chenyan said: "It's basically built, and there are only a few scattered matters left now."

The two sat down and talked. Luo Yong inevitably asked a few more questions about Erniang and the others' recent situation. He realized that everything was fine for her and the others in Liangzhou City, and then he calmed down.

It took Wangdang to fight back and forth for such a long time from Xipo Village to Liangzhou City, so it took Luo Yong so long to get news from Luo Erniang and others. Occasionally, he could hear some from the merchants from the west. They knew it but they were not exhaustive. Most of them were just gossip in Liangzhou City.

Zhao Chen came this time, naturally because of the canned pears. Luo Yong was prepared for this matter.

A few days ago, he asked someone to pick some leaves of the udon tree from the slope to extract Eucommia glue. Although it was not much, if it was just used as an inner pad in the can cap, it would be enough to make some.

However, there were not many pears in Shizhou. Two years ago, people in their village ate pears, and Wang Dang and others transported them from Pingyi.

Nowadays, Wang Dang and their way to Liangzhou, although there are often hawkers coming to Xipo Village, they are not as good as those of Wang Dang. Now the season when the pears are ripe, many villagers in Xipo Village have not eaten much pears.

"Without any time, I will go to Pingyi County to buy pears." Zhao Chen made the decision.

"There is no need to send pears to Xipo Village. I think this canned workshop will be temporarily set up in Lishi County." Fresh fruits like pears are sent from Lishi County to Xipo Village. Not only does it take more than half a day to add to the proportion of bad fruits and rotten fruits in vain.

As for the canned pear workshop, Luo Yong had also thought about it. He was in the car rental store outside the city. The place was quite large and convenient to enter and exit. The owners of the car rental store were quite familiar with Luo Yong. If you lend them the place to use it, you can also add some business to them, and you don’t have to give them rent or something.

After the matter was settled, Zhao Chen went to Xu's house for a meal, and then rode his entourage to Lishi County with his horse.

When they arrived in Lishi County, it was already dark. Several people found a guesthouse and fell asleep. They got up early the next morning and rushed to the road. When they arrived at Pingyi County, it was getting late.

On that night, many merchants in Pingyi County heard a news that the Zhao family in Shuozhou came to their county to collect pears, four pennies, and they also had to find someone to take care of them to Lishi County, and the Zhao family paid another porter money.

You should know that fruits are easy to break. If the pears here are picked from Lishi County and three or four pears are sold for a cent, that is not a good price.

But in Pingyi County, that's different. In their season, when pears are ripe, they can buy at least five or six. Sometimes the villagers nearby pick them up in the city to sell them, and there are also ten or twelve ones per cent. The pears here generally don't grow big, and some are still sour. If they are sweet and refreshing good pears, they will be at a different price. There are often some wealthy merchants and wealthy merchants in the city to buy them at a higher price.

At this late night, many merchants and vendors in the city became active. Although the Zhao family said how much they wanted, who knew how much they could? If they were slow to catch up, many people left the city overnight and went to the countryside to contact the source of goods.

Pingyi County is not a big city. Although the city gate is closed at night, the city wall is not high and dilapidated. There are no officials patrols. You can go out after just turning it over. However, this kind of thing can only be done, and it is not said that it is serious. Climbing over the city wall is illegal. If you don’t do it well, you will be arrested for corvee service.

The main reason is that the world is good now, and there is no war. If the world is not peaceful and the situation is tense, no one dares to do this. If someone is not good, he will be chopped by someone as a spy, and then chopping will be in vain.

It was autumn, and dew fell again at night, and the night wind was blowing with a little chill. The stars in the sky were pretty good, and they were bright everywhere. The shadows between the trees were so slim, which was really scary. Passers-by were afraid to meet ghosts and beasts.

"Walk quickly, why are you going slower and slower?" A vendor urged on a dirt road west of Pingyi County.

"Aye, I'm afraid." The person who spoke was a boy. He listened to the voice, and it was about fifteen.

"Don't be afraid, you'll be afraid, you'll go to your grandmother's house after a few more steps." said the older man.

"We should listen to my grandmother and call two neighbors to come together." The child said tremblingly, not knowing whether it was cold or scary, his voice trembling.

"You can't give them some benefits when you ask someone to go this trip? It's midnight, I don't say anything about it. When they see us earning money by selling pears, they don't know what to think about." The man said.

"What would be better if you meet a wolf?" The young man said this, but in fact he was still afraid of more ghosts, but he didn't dare to say it in such a place.

"We are young and strong, and those wolves dare not come up." The father quickly stepped up his steps and reached out to pull his son: "Let's go quickly, it's cold this day. If you've been blowing outside for a long time, you'll catch a cold."

"Aye, do you think the Zhao family is really willing to collect any pears? Don't be picky at that time." His son was a little worried again. Their family didn't have much capital. If they bought pears and couldn't make them back, how would their family survive this winter?

"The Zhao family in Shuozhou is not such a family that is not trustworthy. When I was a porter outside, I heard people say that it was a family that even the Hu people on the grassland were willing to make friends with. They have always been the most credible..."

As the father and son talked, the son who was already a little scared and trembling, unknowingly forgot his nervousness. Following his father's steps, he walked quickly on the dark and grim dirt road. Soon, he arrived at the village where his grandmother's house was.

At this time, the people in the village had already fallen asleep. After the two of them entered the village, they were all dark and quiet everywhere, and only a few barkings of dogs were heard vaguely.

The father and son pushed open the door of a family, walked into the yard, stopped in front of a low adobe room, reached out to pat the rough and dilapidated wooden door.

"Who?" A low and alert man's voice came from the room.

"It's me, uncle." The young man said quickly.

"Why did you come here so late? What happened to the house?" The people in the house hurried out and opened the door.

"Nothing happened." The vendor said, "Tonight, Zhao Dalang from the Zhao family in Shuozhou brought a few entourages to the city. He said that he wanted to collect pears, four pennies, and the requirements were not high. As long as there were women with fists and urination, if they were not as big as that, they would also accept them, which would be lower."

"Did they say how much do they want to buy?" At this time, a woman's voice came from the house.

"You can ask for as much as you say." The young man replied.

"But take it seriously?"

"It should be true. The Zhao family is a merchant, not a small family, so they should not break their trust."

"There are not many pears left in the house."

"It'll be picked tomorrow morning."

"I'll pick it. You go back to your parents' house and tell your mother about this and ask them to pick pears and sell them in the city."

"We can't just think about selling our own pears. Leave the pear picking to the elderly and children. We will go out tomorrow to collect some more."

"How much are you going to charge?"

"I brought out all the money from my family."

“…”

"Brother and sister-in-law, don't scatter. If you have a place to collect pears, you should also collect some more and carry them to the city with me to sell them."

"What's the matter with the Zhao family collecting so many pears?"

"I don't know, Zhao Dalang didn't say it."

“…you see.”

"Since Zhao Dalang from the Zhao family came here in person, it should be a big deal."

"Since that's the case, we'll collect some."

"Your village is close to the city. If you collect pears, you will put them on your side first."

"I wonder how many days will the Zhao family stay in the city?"

"It's said that I'm going to receive the pears until they are out of season this year."
