181. Indifferent

Luo Yong's disciples have recently set up cement workshops outside and they have also done a very good job.

It’s not like setting up a cement workshop in every village. It’s enough to set up one in a few villages. Villagers in nearby villages can come here to buy cement, and they can also work in the cement workshop.

Most of the villagers in these villages use lime plaster or labor to pay for cement money. In this way, a lot of cement will eventually be burned out.

Most of these cements were sold by Luo Yong to wealthy families in the surrounding area. If they met wealthy families in some places had poor purchasing power, they had to transport the cement to other places, or simply transport it to Lishi County for sale.

Over the past period of time, many villages around Lishi County have now built irrigation systems, and many cement roads have been laid out. The villagers do not need to spend much money. Luo Yongtong can earn some more. In this way, it can be considered mutually beneficial.

If the road can be built in this way, Luo Yong himself would not need to pay any extra money, and with more people participating, the road will be built faster.

At present, after passing Liangzhou City, Hu Shang usually goes southeastward, heading to Chang'an City, if you want to go to Luoyang, Suzhou, Yangzhou and other Jiangnan areas, basically they pass by Chang'an.

Now if they can build another road from Liangzhou City to Lishi, roughly parallel to the road in Chang'an, it will bring convenience to many merchants in the north. After all, the entire northern part is also very large, and it is very inconvenient to only that big road.

Walking from Liangzhou City to the east, crossing the Yellow River and crossing Mengmen Pass. After passing Mengmen Pass, it will be the cement road that His Majesty the Emperor has agreed to build. At that time, it will be more convenient to go to Chang'an City from their side and the Jiangnan area.

So if Luo Yong them could build the road from Liangzhou City to Mengmen Pass, that is, this cement road can lead all the way from Liangzhou City to Chang'an City.

"Tsk, in this way, there will be fewer and fewer people walking from the south in the future." It's a sin... Luo Yong sighed.

"It's always a good thing to build a road." Zhao Chen said with a smile: "At that time, if the merchants on both sides of this road and outside the Great Wall want to go down the south of the Yangtze River, it will be the most convenient to take this road."

Luo Yong said that he wanted to build a road, and the happiest thing was Zhao Chen. Their Zhao family had now set their sights on this canned food deal. The canned pears in Shixian were far from filling the appetite of the Zhao family. They also wanted various canned fruits from the south.

Speaking of which, in this season, the oranges in the south should have matured long ago. I wonder how the canned oranges on Wang Jinhuai are doing.

Wang Jinhuai was in trouble at this time.

Previously, their Wang family purchased silk and silk cloth on a piece of Huainan Road. Because the price given was quite good, many local weavers and merchants were willing to sell silk to them. The relationship between the two parties was also relatively harmonious.

Then this summer, Wang Jinhuai took the Eucommia ulmoides that Luo Yong took away, and took some people to the south to burn porcelain jars to collect fruits to make canned food. Before the end of the summer, he made a batch of canned peach meat. He originally planned to divide the canned food into two batches, one batch to Luo Yang and other places for sale, and the other batch was shipped to Xipo Village for Luo Yong. Those were all the shares that Luo Yong deserved.

As a result, the canned peach meat from their batch was not transported out in the end. The local powerful people were trying to make it difficult for them to buy those cans. It would be fine if you don’t sell them. You guys don’t want to pass the road I built.

Fortunately, the Wang family has been operating well in the south over the years, and at least it has some reputation. Those people dare not do too much and did not forcefully rob and hurt people.

Wang Jinhuai sent someone back to the Lishi master's house for help, but Lishi arranged the people who had been there, but they were not able to do it. They communicated and failed to get things done in the end. Seeing that the oranges this year were out of season, they have produced a lot of canned oranges recently, but they are also unable to transport them in one can.

Finally, when I thought about it, I really had no choice. If I didn't transport the canned food out, Luo Yong would think that they had broken their trust. They had been unhappy once, but if there was another mistake this time, there would be no possibility of cooperation in the future.

So Wang Jinhuai asked someone to bring a letter to Ma Silang and asked him to help him. In addition to Chang'an, the Ma family is mainly developing in the area of ​​Shannan Road. Wang Jinhuai is on Huainan Road. Although he is not on the same road, he is not too far away. He quickly arrived and it took a few days.

This time, the Ma family really bet on the right bargaining chips and focused all their work this year on the promotion of Chamengdao.

At that time, it was just coming to the south to develop. It was not easy for those who were just a newcomer, but the current situation is already unique. The Chameng rice they promoted locally is not only mature, fast, drought-resistant to barrenness, but can be planted on the slopes, but also has a high yield. It can be planted for two seasons a year in Shannan Road.

When Wang Jinhuai sent someone to send a letter, it was the time when the Ma family harvested rice in the second season. Ma Silang was in a good mood. Thinking about it, both of the Ma Wang families came out of Lishi County and would develop in the south in the future. It would be better to support each other than fighting alone.

So he invited a few local well-known people to catch up with several luxurious and cool carriages, and went to Huainan Road while playing along the way.

As soon as these people came forward, they made up their minds to make things difficult for Wang Jin to the end. Their attitude immediately softened. The group of people were happy to eat and drink, and they never mentioned the canned food again.

A few days later, Wang Jinhuai condemned people to transport canned peach meat and oranges to the north, but he was indeed not blocked.

"Luckily Silang helped him." The matter was finally resolved, and Wang Jinhuai finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

"Why do you need to see Brother Jin Huai? You and I are fellow villagers. You should help each other when you go out." Ma Silang said with a smile.

"Oh..." Wang Jinhuai waved his hand and sighed: "I'm afraid I can't help you at this moment. I'm going to use anything in the future. Just open your mouth."

This time, the Ma family really bet on the right treasure. It has just been developing in Shannan Road for less than a year. It is not a high-ranking family, but just an ordinary family of merchants. It can actually invite those figures to come forward.

Although they eat, drink and play along the way, it seems quite pleasant. In fact, it is not easy to accompany them to eat, drink and play. Wang Jinhuai has recorded this favor from Ma Silang.

After the matter was resolved, Ma Silang did not stay in Huainan Road for too long. After the rice was recovered this year, their Ma family would then enter the strategic deployment of the next year. As the saying goes, time is worth every inch, and where is the time to wander around and waste time now?

Ma Silang returned to his Shannan Road, and Wang Jinhuai also transported all the canned foods he had made this year in batches, and then he transported away all the silk he had stocked up before.

He originally wanted to pack and take away all his family and servants, as well as some fragments of things, and never return to this place again. He really wanted to move out of here and develop somewhere else.

Wang Jinhuai has been operating here for several years. Although he was not a Bodhisattva-like figure, he was at least honest and brought many conveniences with the local silk transactions.

Unexpectedly, when encountering such a thing this time, no one in their area stood up to say a fair word for him. For Wang Jinhuai, this incident was like being beaten in person, both ashamed and ashamed.

However, he did not move out in the end.

It was not his style of running away in shame with his tail between his legs.

In fact, in recent months, Wang Jinhuai has often reflected in his heart why those people were so indifferent to his experience.
