250. No one dares to ask for it

In the following days, news spread in Chang'an City, saying that Wang Dang and others had a new shop wherever they were.

In fact, in addition to Chang'an City, Wang Dang and others planned to open shops in five cities in the early stage.

Go east after leaving Chang'an, pass Tongguan, go north to Hedong Road, enter Hedong Road, you will soon reach Puzhou, and then go up to Linfen and Xicheng. The north to Xicheng is Taiyuan Prefecture, and the west to Xicheng is Lishi and Dinghu.

It is very close to Dinghu from Shi. At present, it is not planned to set up a shop, but the place is not big. They are very familiar with each other. There are even many brothers and their families living in Xipo Village. So even if there is no shop, it is still no problem to receive and deliver goods.

There is a Mengmen Pass in Dinghu. As the cement road on the inner road of the pass becomes longer and longer, many merchants and vendors in the northwest gradually gather at Mengmen Pass. They not only sell goods at Mengmen Pass, but also have the need to buy goods.

From Mengmen Pass south, it is the cement road built by the saints earlier. Mengmen Pass in Dinghu County is at the junction of these two roads. It also undertakes the Yellow River water transportation. Every year, many merchants come down from the upper reaches of the Yellow River.

With such geographical advantages, coupled with the relatively relaxed economic policies at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Dinghu County will sooner or later develop into a commercial major with merchants, which is completely foreseeable.

Many people living in Mengmen only realized recently that they were in a craze of development that was rare in a century. Wang Dang and others had already started to do it.

Every time Luo Yong goes out, he can hear the people in the market discussing how Dingda Express is.

There was also a debate in the court about this incident. Most people believed that at this moment, they should follow the public opinion and not go against the trend.

Some people say that the circulation of letters is convenient and detailed, but many people believe that the emergence of this express delivery not only facilitates the people, but also facilitates the supervision of the court.

In the past, the people asked people to bring letters and packages, and the merchants and vendors who traded goods in various places were loose and difficult to manage. Now, as long as they manage this express, it is equivalent to managing the circulation of most letters between Chang'an City and Hedong Road.

Moreover, a person like Wang Dang can definitely become a small leader of a force in troubled times. If someone is lucky, he may even be able to make an emperor. In prosperous times, he should also be wary of such people causing trouble.

Now he is going to do express delivery and help people deliver letters and packages. That isn’t that a great thing?

After he broke up his team and arranged to run a shop in different cities. Everyone did their own things and had their own interests, they might even fight if they were disagreeable. After three or five years, how many people could still follow him?

In addition, the court will definitely put eyeliners into his team. The following words have not been mentioned clearly, as long as everyone knows this.

In early August, Chang'an County Magistrate issued a document at the shop in Chang'an City, asking them to register and keep a detailed record of every package and every letter, and both the sender and the recipient must sign and seal it.

After the news spread, many caravans began to get ready. Most of them had sent letters to their neighbors and relatives and friends before, but they never thought there was such a big business opportunity hidden behind this.

Now the Dinghu people have taken the lead. Everyone in Chang'an knows Dingda Express. It is obviously too late for them to take action at this time, but the temptation is still very great. After all, the Dinghu people only occupy the market on Hedong Road. The whole country is so big that no one else is running this deal. The blockbuster market is waiting for them to seize it.

The reason why those Dinghu people were able to successfully set up shops in several cities on the Hedong Road was that on the one hand, they were from Hedong themselves, and they had accumulated reputation and connections over the years. On the other hand, they were supported by Luo Sanlang.

The same goes for other caravans. If you want to occupy a market, it is best to have something to rely on. If you want to compete with others, the process will definitely be very cruel.

The city of Chang'an is noisy and bustling, and the undercurrents are surging. The Luo family has recently closed their doors and lived their lives. Both Luo Yong and Hou Lin and Qiao Junlin rarely go out.

Qiao Junlin is purely because he has too much homework. Since Luo Yong started to assign a lot of exercises to the students of the Taixue School, the gentlemen of the other subjects can't do it when they see it. The spare time has been taken up by arithmetic homework. Don't they need to review and memorize the courses they teach?

So they also began to increase their homework, making students who are too high school. They either go to school to study or do homework at home all day, and their social activities have dropped sharply.

As for Hou Lin, he was hiding from others.

Since Luo Yong became active in Chang'an City, Hou Lin has become more popular in the workplace, which has happened early in the morning.

Hou Lin is quite worried recently because one of his superiors wanted to betroth one of his daughters. Hou Lin refused several times openly and secretly, but the other party insisted that he didn't hear it and didn't understand it, which made Hou Lin not go out much now. He ran home after class at the Imperial College.

His boss Luo Yong had also heard that there were many wives and concubines in the family, and the back house was not very quiet. He had a lot of children, and the daughters alone were enough to form a football team.

Even if such a family is purely a marriage of interest, it is not a good choice. No wonder Hou Lin is hiding.

In this era, it is not rare for young people who are involved in officialdom to use their marriage as bargaining chips.

Some people even suggested to the emperor that Luo used this coffin board to be a rare talent. He happened to have never been married and there were no elders in the family. It would be better for a saint to marry him and take care of her like an elder. I believe that his character with Na Luo would definitely devote his wholeheartedness to the Li family and would never have a second thought.

When the emperor heard this proposal at first, he felt a little repulsive. If Luo Yong really wanted to devote himself to his work, even if he was not his biological daughter, he would have to give him a close relationship. Otherwise, if he gave him a gift, he would just ask the coffin board to be cheaper.

Princess and Princesses are all women with golden branches and jade leaves. If they were asked to marry Luo Yong, a small official from the seventh rank, would be a little condescending.

Then he thought again that if Luo used such a talent, if he cultivated and promoted it well, it would be a piece of material for a senior official of the Ministry of Industry, or arranged to go to the Ministry of Revenue, so that he could find ways to develop the national economy.

Since that's the case, should we just give him a princess? There are quite a few princesses born in the country, but... who should I mention this matter?

In the end, this question stumped the emperor. Just that coffin board is so fucked. If you say you give him a princess, he may not really want it. If he refuses it at that time, where will the emperor's face be placed?

Forget it, there is no need for him to make such a person feel uncomfortable in front of him.

Luo used this side, he had sympathy for Hou Lin recently, and he had no idea how many troubles the reputation of this coffin board helped him block.

Just like his coffin, and the social attention is so high, whoever comes to the table and then touches a tough face... can anyone afford to be embarrassed?

It’s not just Luo Yong, but Luo Siniang was obviously at the age of marriage, but no one came to ask about it.

However, in addition to being influenced by her brother's coffin board, she also made great contributions. Since the Lantern Festival at the beginning of this year, when she cleaned up the little lady with nostrils facing her, the reputation of the Luo family's Si Niang has spread.

In this era when marriage is entirely determined by parents, who would be so uneasy and find such a powerful daughter-in-law for herself, isn’t it too much to avoid it?

In addition, Si Niang sometimes has itchy hands and likes to play with two knives in her yard. This matter is spread again, and Li Shi Luo Si Niang's image is no different from that of a female bandit.

Now let alone those decent families, even neighbors with average family background, no one will have the idea of ​​Si Niang. Just her knife is so good that the couple will start to fight one day... Oh, I dare not think or think.

"Brother, is that little lady from Dr. Bao's family beautiful?" On the evening of that day, Luo Yong was sorting out student homework in the room. Si Niang supported her hands on the table and asked Luo Yong with a gossipy expression.

"I heard that it's not very good-looking. I had to be as small as a child, and my face was bumpy." Luo Yong told her the news he heard.

"Does she think she is ugly when she waited for teaching?" Si Niang continued to inquire.

"There should be this reason." Luo continued to move his hands, and then paused and added: "I heard that the little lady was illiterate."

People in this era generally believe that women should also have some talent, especially those who are slutty scholars.

First, if someone knows that he is illiterate, he will feel embarrassed and not up-to-earth. Second, they actually have their own expectations and fantasies about love. They are bumpy and ignorant, and their family is not clean and they will cause trouble from time to time, and they are definitely not the object of their fantasy.

"Do you think I can escape this time when I teach?" Si Niang looked very excited.

She doesn't think it's a big deal to be illiterate on her face. She can be very handsome and chic. She can learn at any time if she is illiterate.

"Who knows." Luo Yong also felt that it was not a long-term solution to hide by relying solely on this matter.

"Why would you marry that little lady? There are no rumors that she has a bad character." Si Niang grinned, not knowing how to be happy.

"I might cry when I wait for the teacher." The dream is broken.

"Hihehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe!" Luo Siniang smiled so much that she was gloating. Luo looked up at her and couldn't help laughing with her.

No one dares to ask for these two, but he is embarrassed to talk about other people's gossip here to have fun.
