If you talk about Chang'an City, it is really lively.

I heard that after a few days, there will be no curfew for three days before and after. People in the city can walk around casually outside. So everyone is looking forward to the annual Lantern Festival.

Luo Yong heard people talk about this in Xipo Village. He also had a little yearning for it. He was crowded with people like that. Since he came to this era, he has never seen it again.

The first two trips to Chang'an City, although it felt much more lively than Lishi, it was incomparable to the population density in the 21st century. The entire Chang'an City also gave people a very spacious impression.

I heard from Wu You that the emperor's cement road will be built to Linfen, Jinzhou soon. When they build to Lishi County, this time next year, Luo Yong will take these children from his family to Chang'an City to celebrate the Lantern Festival.

There are also rumors from merchants who say that from Chengzhou, several batches of canned mutton have been transported south this year. On the road from Tongguan to Chang'an City, there are even people who see soldiers transporting canned mutton with "three-legged swallows".

The "three-legged swallow" is the name that everyone gave to the new type of car. Because it is similar to Yan'erfei, it is also a bicycle for riding, but it has one more wheel than Yan'erfei, so everyone called it "three-legged swallow" and some also called it "three-legged iron swallow".

After hearing the descriptions of these people, Luo Yong could probably guess that the emperor must have made the tricycle work, and to a large extent, he replaced the wood and bamboo structure with fine iron. Whether in terms of weight-bearing ability or riding speed, it was incomparable to the original Yan Erfei.

The first month has passed in a blink of an eye. After the second month of the lunar calendar, the local weather in Lishi County gradually began to warm up.

Xu Erlang told Luo Yong that it is time to send out this batch of threshing machines in the last batch. It is easier to hire a porter at this time. When they have finished delivering the threshing machines, they can still catch up with the spring plowing of this year when they come back.

On the 11th year of Zhenguan, on the sixth day of the second month, a long team of threshing machines set off from Xipo Village.

Most of the villages that have not yet obtained the threshing machine are concentrated on the east side of Hedong Road, where there is a Taihang Mountains, and there are many villages of all sizes in the mountains.

The Taihang Mountains range from south to north and spread across the east of Hedong Road. So after their team arrived in Fenzhou, they would divide the troops into two groups in Xicheng, one north and the other south.

Luo Yong led the donkey and sent them all the way away. Seeing the threshing machines loaded on the cart, he thought of the mountains and rivers along the way, and couldn't help but say hard work to his disciples and porters again.

"Sanlang still doesn't say it's hard, so how dare we say it's hard?" a man dressed in worn clothes said loudly.

Their village also has a threshing machine. With that threshing machine, I don’t know how much time and effort it saves to harvest the grain in the field last year. Even if the food in the field is dried and safely and safely stored in the warehouse is the greatest blessing for farmers. Now I am here to make money with Luo Sanlang again, but the porter dares to bear the word "hard work"?

"Sanlang is at ease, we will take these threshing machines to various villages as good as we can, and there will be no mistakes." The team said another person.

"It doesn't matter if you are on business trips, just come back." Luo Yong was really worried that these reckless men would sacrifice their lives to protect these threshers when they encountered any danger.

"Master, don't worry, we will return safely." Xu Erlang bowed to Luo Yong.

"Go early and come back early." Luo Yong said solemnly.

It didn't snow or the sun came out this day. The sky was cloudy and there was a cool breeze. Luo Yong stood by the road and watched the people go further and further away, and was always worried about their safety.

In this era, every parting seems particularly sad. If you have never felt such a parting, you cannot truly understand the weight of the four words "separation of life and death". It is probably because of this that the friendship between people is more sincere at this time.

This team transporting threshing machines is always easier to walk along the cement road from Xipo Village to Lishi County.

Since last fall, governor Hao has been promoting the trolley irrigation system in Shizhou. Luo Yong's disciples have also set up cement workshops in many places. Many villages have taken this opportunity to build cement roads. Their team has also discovered it along the way. As they walk, they often encounter a cement road, and once they get on the cement road, it will be much easier.

After leaving the Lishi County area, cement roads became rare. When we entered the Luliang Mountains, it became particularly difficult to move forward.

There are some places where ice is still there. They push the wooden carts to climb the hill, slid in one step. Many people pulling the carts in front have all fallen on the ground with their hands and feet, and the people behind are gritting their teeth to support them.

Some places have begun to melt snow, and the snow and cement have become muddy roads. The porters stepped on the mud road deep and shallowly, and their feet were frozen so cold that they didn't have time to pay attention to it. They just wanted to walk out of this section of the road as soon as possible. If they were not careful and the car was trapped in the mud pit, it would take a lot of effort to get the car out...

"Are you coming from Lishi County?" On this day, everyone was rushing to the road, and several villagers ran down from a hillside not far away.

"That's right, we are helping Luo Sanlang come out to deliver the threshing machine. But your village hasn't received the threshing machine yet?" A disciple of Luo Yong in the team stopped and asked the people of these villages.

This situation is also very common. Some villages are remote and cannot get the news in time. The surrounding villages have already obtained threshing machines, but they have not yet obtained them.

"The people in our village have been assigned to the threshing machine." The leading villager smiled, walked over a few steps, and helped a porter in the team push up the wooden cart:

"Our village is on the hillside over there. I just saw you guys pushing a cart here, and I guess they were going out to deliver the threshing machine. So, come here to help."

"Hey! That's right! From Xipo Village! A few more people came down!" Someone roared on the hillside a few more times.

I saw a small village that was not very conspicuous on the hillside not far away. Many villagers walked out of their homes at this time and stood at the entrance of the village to look at them. I heard that their group of people were indeed coming from Xipo Village, and soon some villagers came down from the slope.

Xu Erlang and others came over to see that they looked like they were indeed villagers and not evil people. They said thank you and let them help the porter in the team push the cart.

These porters were already feeling quite tired along the way. At this time, someone suddenly came to help them. It felt like a long drought and rain. Not only did they feel relaxed, but they were also extremely comfortable in their hearts.

They had heard that Luo Sanlang was going to recruit a group of porters to deliver the threshing machine before, and they knew that the journey would be uneasy, but they still went to sign up without hesitation. Xu Erlang and others had just released the news, and in just two or three days, all porters were in place.

Now, in this difficult and tired journey, they can get the help of these villagers who were assigned to threshers like them. They feel that they have no mistakes in their decision to sign up to be porters. If they don’t come, they should feel ashamed.

"Are you coming from Xipo Village?" The team walked forward for half a day and encountered another small village on the side of the road. Several villagers came out to ask with hesitation.

"That's right, they are from Xipo Village. Did Xu Erlang see that in front of us? Didn't we see him when we went to Xipo Village to get the threshing machine?" The villagers in the village in front stood up and spoke at this time.

"Why are you here too?" Several villagers here said in surprise.

"We were on the slope this morning, watching them come from afar, and then went downhill to help them." The villagers said happily.

"It's now, do you go back later?" asked the people in the village here.

"I'm anxious to go back and do something. Before spring is over, I'll send them out of Luliang Mountain first." The men said cheerfully.

The people in this village discussed and decided to arrange some villagers to help, so that the elderly, women and children should not join in the fun, just pick a few young and strong men who are in good health and strength to help.

After the two groups of people joined, the journey became easier and faster. The porters were all in a happy mood. They originally thought it was a chore, but they didn't expect that they would meet so many people to help them when they went out.

This is not the end. As the team progressed, many people joined in one after another. Although not every village had people coming, the number of people joining the team was enough to make the process of transporting the threshing machine quite easy.

Some of these people brought their own dry food, some mixed with the porters in Lishi County to eat with them. In addition, Xu Erlang also brought some money and silk. When the team passed by some villages, he would often withdraw money and silk and exchange some hot food for local villagers.

At the same time, the news that many threshing machines were transported out from Xipo Village to send to various villages spread wildly. The convoy that sent threshing machines had not yet come out of the Luliang Mountains, but the news had already flew far away.

Not long after, in some remote villages east of Hedong Road, some people also received such news, so various villages organized villagers to collect threshing machines.

I heard that most villages have already been assigned threshing machines to the west of Hedong Road, and they thought they would definitely not be able to get the threshing machine. After all, Luo Sanlang did not make any clear statement, saying that the entire Hedong Road would be divided.

With so many villages in Hedong Road, how could Luo Sanlang really afford it? Logically speaking, as long as he can give local villages in Shizhou and each village is divided into a threshing machine, it would be a great man and a great deal.

I heard that the threshing machine was really useful. I put a handful of wheat on it and took off the wheat grains on the ears. I just had to step on my feet a few times, and I didn’t have to work hard.

The villagers here are envious, but they can only envy them. After all, the price of the threshing machine is still too high for them. Few villages can afford to pay so much money, but they can't afford it, and they are generally reluctant to give it up.
