202. A bit much
Regardless of what the emperor thought, from Luo's perspective, he felt that he had made enough concessions.
Luo Yong actually didn't want to go out at all this time. If possible, he would rather publish the cement recipe directly to the public. Just ask people from various places to repair it themselves. The income from the cement workshop in Hengshu Xipo Village is not the big part of Luo Yong's current income, and he didn't want to make a living by relying on this.
But if he really did that, the cement boiling method would be like the original papermaking method. It was circulated and developed among the people, and eventually, cement workshops of all sizes were built across the country.
So how can the cement workshops in Chang'an City still make money? Once the cement transaction in Chang'an City is ruined, the losses of the treasury will definitely be huge. Not to mention whether the emperor will let Luo Yong go. Luo Yong himself does not want to see such a thing happen, because the enrichment of the treasury is largely related to social stability.
As for why this path must be built.
First of all, the letters written by Erniang and Wang Dang and others had written, Luo Yong had a rough understanding of the situation from Lishi County to Liangzhou City. He believed that after the cement road was built, the local people should benefit from it.
Although the emperor also built roads, maybe he would build roads from Chang'an City to Chengzhou, roads from Chang'an City to Luoyang and Jiangnan, and even roads from Chang'an City to Liangzhou City. However, the roads from Lishi County to Liangzhou City could not be expected to be built for a while.
It is definitely not easy for Luo Yong to build this path, but his difficulty is limited to the efforts of time and energy.
But for the people near this road, if this road can really form an economic bond, many poor families will become rich, many children may change their destiny, and many tragedies that will originally happen may be spared.
Luo Yong had told Zhao Chen before that he wanted to build such a road, and he really wanted to do it in his heart, so he did it.
Moreover, after this road is opened, it will become much easier to travel between Lishi County and Liangzhou City, and Erniang's distance from her family will become closer.
Erniang said she was going to run a sweater workshop in Liangzhou City. Luo Yong knew that she was going to start developing her own career and would likely take root in Liangzhou City in the future.
In the past, for many people in the local area, if anyone in their family went so far away from Liangzhou City, it would be difficult for me to meet again in my life. Luo Yong didn't know when he would see Erniang next time, but they would definitely be able to meet each other, in the not-to-date future.
Here in Liangzhou City.
On this day, Luo Erniang was supervising the work of the workers in her cashmere workshop. Her landlord's wife came over and said, "Er Niang, I heard that there is a house in the east of the city to be sold. Do you want to go and have a look?"
"Go and have a look." Luo Erniang left the yard with her without saying a word.
At the beginning of this year, Zhao Chen and others transported a lot of pear juice from Lishi County and sold it openly in the Zhao family's guest house, named Shenxian Drink, which almost cost the price of Xianlu.
In Liangzhou City, there are many poor people and rich people. Many people have earned a lot of money by selling cashmere in the past two years. They are simply rich. No matter how high the price of the immortal drink is, they are willing to eat it.
The early spring in Liangzhou City is still very dry. The northwest wind is blowing, and the wind and sand are strong outside. It is quite acceptable during the day. It is very cold at night, and it is very dry when the kang is burned.
In such a place, wouldn’t a bowl of sweet and moist canned pears be like fairy dew?
The Zhao family gave Erniang and the others several cans, but Erniang was not willing to eat them. It took a long time to open a can. It took several days for several people to eat that can.
The temperature is low in early spring and you can still let it go, so it won’t work until summer begins.
There are several canned foods in their house now. There are canned peaches and oranges sent by Luo Yong as soon as he asked someone to send them, and there are canned pears sent by the Zhao family later.
Er Niang and the others were only very tired or missed home one day, so they would open a can to eat. Last time, Aunt Yin didn’t know whether it was because she was not accustomed to the local conditions or why, but she was sick, and Er Niang opened a can for her at that time.
The money obtained from selling canned food in Zhao's family was divided into two parts, one was kept by himself, and the other was given to Luo Erniang.
Because they knew Luo Yong's attitude towards money and his family, even if Luo Erniang was just a female under twenty years old, they didn't think there was anything wrong with doing this.
After Luo Erniang received the money, most of them bought industries in Liangzhou City. Sanlang told her that the prospects in Liangzhou City were promising, so it would be okay to buy more land and houses.
In addition, the Zhao family also reminded her not to leave too much money by her side, be careful to make people think about it, and if necessary, the Zhao family can also keep it for the sake of custody. Luo Erniang thought about it and thanked the other party for her kindness, and in the end she spent most of the money on buying land.
In late spring, Luo Erniang bought the largest industry she has, spent all the money she had at that time, and added another cashmere thread to buy a manor outside Liangzhou City.
It was a vast farm with a good location, just next to the official road, not far from Liangzhou City Gate. It is difficult to find a manor like this to be sold. After all, the world has been peaceful in the past two years, and the land and property have become more and more valuable. Such opportunities are hard to come by. When Er Niang met, she was unwilling to miss it. She immediately spent a lot of money and bought it.
I heard that Sakura had started to build roads here now. She had heard Zhao Chen mention this before. Seeing Zhao Chen's attitude, he didn't seem to take it very seriously, but Luo Erniang knew that since Sakura said that she wanted to build roads, she would definitely build it.
Sure enough, news came at the end of summer this year, saying that Li Shi Luosanlang was building roads in the inner road and was going to build them to Liangzhou City.
When Sanlang came to Liangzhou City, he must have known how to run a farm. Luo Erniang doesn't have that much energy now and doesn't know where to start. Considering safety, he had to rent the farm to the Zhao family first.
The Zhao family sent people to cultivate grain and raise livestock in that farm, and also used them to resettle their subordinates and stock up on goods.
In addition to that farm, Luo Erniang also bought several houses and shops in the city. It can only be said that the transaction of canned pears was really easy to make money. Until a few days ago, she could have a large amount of money recorded.
There have been fewer these days. I heard that the canned pears on the Zhao family have been sold almost. Zhao Chen and others will set out to Lishi County in the past few days to start the production of canned pears this year.
Luo Erniang and their landlord's wife went to the east of the city to see the house. When they saw the owner, they found that this person was not sincere in selling the house, and simply wanted to kill her as a sucker. Perhaps Luo Erniang has become famous in the city recently, and some people think that she is willing to buy any yard or price.
The landlord's wife also came to her neighbor's introduction, but found that it was such a guy. She immediately spat and took Luo Erniang away.
"I'll tell you to go there in vain. Next time I'll see it myself and then call you out." The landlord's family, the ancestors, have some accumulations, and they have several industries in the city. The whole family relies on rent to make a living. The financial situation is not very good. The couple occasionally help others to take the lead and earn some intermediate money.
"It's okay." Luo Erniang said, "If you have a good property, you should see it earlier. Don't ask others to take it first." She could only buy the manor outside Liangzhou City one step earlier than others.
"What you said is reasonable, but today's this is really not good. I will help you find a good one next time." The landlord's wife said enthusiastically.
"I'm sorry for Sanniang." The landlord's wife ranks third in the family, and everyone calls her Sanniang on weekdays.
The two of them walked out of this alley. When the families on both sides of the alley saw it, they knew that Luo Erniang must have come to them to see the property.
No one knows that Luo Erniang has to buy real estate as long as she has money and food, and she doesn't know how much she has to buy so many real estate, but she can't live there. I heard that during the war, many houses in their city were empty and no one wanted them at all.
The Zhao family also talked to Luo Erniang about this. The house is only valuable when it can be sold. If it can't be sold, it will be smashed into your hands.
However, Luo Erniang followed the demon and bought the house shop one by one, because Luo Yong told her that the prospects for Liangzhou City are promising, so it is best to buy more real estate.
"Do you think Luo Erniang is a little bit sarcastic?" Zhao Qi said to Zhao Chen on the same day.
"She is just a woman. Can't she manage like us? What can she do if she doesn't buy a house after taking the money?"
Zhao Chen was packing his luggage at this time. Seeing that the pears were about to come down this year, he had to hurry to go to Lishi County. This year's Dushu resources were still tightly held by the emperor. If their family wanted to make canned fruits, they had to continue to cooperate with Luo Yong.
"I just think she is too willing to spend money." Zhao Qi sighed.
"Luo Yong doesn't feel sorry for you, we feel so sorry for you." Zhao Chen said with a smile.
"Oh..." Zhao Qi sighed and stopped talking.
He just saw that the little lady of the Luo family was very good, but he was a little confused. His son was so old, but he was not married yet, and he would become a young man if he dragged on him. But now seeing Luo Erniang's ruthlessness when he spent money, Old Dad Zhao felt a little uncertain.

Recently, news came out on Chang'an City that after the autumn harvest this year, the emperor planned to issue labor service to repair roads. The road from Chang'an City to Liangzhou City was to pave the original mud, sand and gravel road into cement roads.
After the news came out, many people in Chang'an City speculated that it seemed that the emperor was worried that after the road to Luo Sanlang was repaired, some merchants would bypass Chang'an and go directly from Liangzhou City to Lishi, and then go down to Jiangnan from Lishi.
Now the emperor ordered people to build the road from Chang'an City to Liangzhou City. Most merchants who are used to walking this road will definitely choose this road in the future, rather than the one in the north. After all, these two are cement roads, and the cement road built by His Majesty the Emperor is obviously of better quality.
But in this case, the one that benefits the most will naturally become Liangzhou City. Two cement roads lead directly to this western city. In addition, it was originally an important hub city in the trade path between the Tang Dynasty and Western countries, as well as the cashmere soap trade that just emerged in the past two years.
No matter how you look at it, the development prospects of this city are so good, so many people in Chang'an City began to discuss whether to buy property in Liangzhou City. Some of them are quick-witted and have already sent people to Liangzhou City.
Here in Liangzhou City.
Erniang lit an oil lamp and wrote down the specific location of the house she bought this day and the total amount of money she spent on a notebook.
