A few days later, Qiao Shiwang, a general stationed in Yumen Pass, came to Changle County in person to express his gratitude to Luo Yongtian for the supplies he sent to them at that time.

Generals like those who were stationed in the local area were relatively close to the soldiers below on weekdays. The batch of cashmere socks that Luo Yong sent them last time was kept warm compared to the linen socks that the soldiers originally wore. They suffered a lot of cold when they marched on the Gobi wasteland. This time, Qiao Shiwang came to Changle County, and many people asked him to bring him a message, saying that he had thanked the cashmere socks given by the Magistrate Luo County.

"Why do General Qiao need so much polite? Besides, the cashmere socks are from my sister's cashmere workshop. I just helped her deliver the things." County Magistrate Luo said lightly.

"Then I'll thank you sister." Master Qiao said.

"No need, no need." said the Magistrate Luo County: "My sister is a woman. It is because of you soldiers who defend the frontier that she can do some small business in this border area with peace of mind. General Qiao is so polite, it's really a shame."

"Haha, since you say this, I won't say much anymore. You and your sister are both affectionate and righteous people. Your good deeds are all remembered in your heart." Master Qiao laughed.

"It's really too good." Luo Yong refused repeatedly.

In fact, the reason why Luo Yong proposed to let Luo Erniang send out this batch of cashmere socks may not be considered in this regard. Luo Erniang wanted to trade cashmere in the Hexi Corridor. It is naturally beneficial to establish a good relationship with these soldiers on the frontier.

After the two of them said a few more words, Qiao Shiwang and Luo Yong mentioned the matter of compass and alcohol. The compass was really light and practical, and the alcohol was also life-saving.

Luo Yong told him that he had already informed Jingzhong of the way to make the compass, as for the alcohol—

"Earlier, Li Shangshu went to Changle County, and he also mentioned alcohol to me. Now he has taken the craftsmen from my Changle Brewery to Chang'an City. It takes less than a long time to transport the alcohol produced in Chang'an City to the military camps in various places." Luo Yong said.

When Master Qiao heard this, there was nothing I didn’t understand. Li Daozong must have spoken directly to Luo Yong and asked for prescriptions and craftsmen.

So stupid, what can he do here? If the emperor wanted a prescription, he would not speak by himself. He had to come forward to do this thankless thing? Could it be that he was scared of being resigned from the post, so he wanted to use this method to ask for good things from the superiors?

Qiao Shiwang thought about this, but showed nothing on his face. While praising Luo Yong for his profound understanding of justice, he also talked with him about the impact of this war on their Shazhou Guazhou area.

"The business road is blocked, and people's livelihood is difficult." County Magistrate Luo was embarrassed to say that his county government was so poor that he was about to lose his life, and only said that people's livelihood was difficult.

Master Qiao said to you, look at the prosperous scene in Changle County, where is the difficult situation of people's livelihood? You are in trouble here, and the people from other places can still survive.

Thinking of this in my heart, he said to Luo Yong: "When I was in Gaochang earlier, local merchants came to ask me, I wonder if there is still white wine sold in Changle County this year."

"Then how did you answer?" County Magistrate Luo suddenly felt energetic.

"I said yes, it was sold at half price a while ago, but I don't know what the price is now." Qiao Shiwang replied.

"Okay!" County Magistrate Luo was so happy that he almost picked up General Qiao's hands and expressed his infinite gratitude to him.

Even if the liquor is sold at half price, the profit is very generous. Now that the war has just passed, the grain has just been harvested this year. The local grain price in Changle County has fallen below the historical lowest. At this time, it is perfect to collect grain and make wine.

Because Qiao Shiwang's advertisement was really well played, before they left, Luo Yong asked someone to bring two trucks of white wine from the winery to give them.

General Qiao refused a few words, and then happily accepted it. He had just won the battle, and today he took the wine back for the soldiers to taste it, and he was happy.

"Next time someone asks you, let me tell them about the needles from our Changle County." The magistrate of Luo reluctantly sent the people to the city gate.

Qiao Shiwang is a talented person. Look at how good he is in this advertisement this time, it is time for him. The war has just passed. If the 50% off is not mentioned, those merchants will probably hesitate. When it comes to selling at this 50% off, there is no suspense. That is a 50% off. The battle has been completed. Come and buy it quickly. I missed this year. I don’t know if there is such a good thing next year.

Those who are in the army and fight, they will go wherever there is a war, and often have to travel around the world. Qiao Shiwang is also a military general with status and prestige. If he is willing to help advertise, he will at least be the best.

After seeing off Qiao Shiwang and others, County Magistrate Luo rubbed his hands and turned to the county government. He started collecting grain along the street. He collected all the new and old grains, but the prices were a little different.

This time he didn't try to save trouble, and planned to ask the winery to brew a few more liquors of different grades. At that time, the merchants who come to buy goods will buy expensive or cheaper ones, and they will choose them by themselves.

Luo Yong originally planned to talk about this to Qiao Junlin, but then he thought that Qiao Junlin was studying recently, so he arranged this matter himself.

If the students of Changle Academy are concerned about the level of hard work, no one can compare with Qiao Junlin. If Qiao Junlin is born in the 21st century, he will definitely be a promising person.

Unlike Luo Yong, who lived to his twenties in a daze and didn't even have a skill. If he was willing to study hard, it would be better to study medicine in college. Then how awesome he should be now.

Look at Sun Simiao, everyone has retired to the mountains and forests, and Lao Li always wants to invite him out of the mountain. How could he be like Luo Yong now? He is a seventh-rank sesame official in a small border county. His life is not easy.

In short, loving learning is a good thing, and Luo Yong must support it.

"Mr. Luo County Magistrate, is there something wrong with the generals from Yumen Pass coming today?" Luo Yong was collecting grain on the street, and the shop in a shop on the street asked.

"Nothing big is going on." Luo Yong waved his hand and said with a smile: "Yan is the merchant in Gaochang who will come to Changle County to buy wine soon, so we will prepare early."

"Sure!" The shopkeeper was very happy when he heard this.

Although many merchants in the surrounding areas have come to them to buy needles recently, Changle County is quite lively and the businesses of each shop are generally good, but who is afraid that the business will be too good? Most of the merchants in Gaochang are rich and are more generous in their actions.

"Really? Are the merchants in Gaochang coming?" After hearing this, the people in the shop next to him ran out one by one.

"How can there be falsehood as the county magistrate said?"

"When did the county magistrate say it?"

"That's what I heard just now."

"That's fine. I'll go to the countryside to buy two sheep in the past few days."

"I'm afraid no one is willing to sell it."

"As long as the price is paid, how can no one be willing to sell it?"

“…”

The streets here are noisy, and everyone is happy when they say that the Gaochang merchants are coming.

In an alley not far from the downtown area, in the Lu family's house, Nan Axiu was packing up his things at this time.

A few days ago, she married Lu San. They met since childhood and both sides were interested. Now they have become a couple, and it is the time to get married.

"Axiu, you've packed it up, Sanlang will be back in a moment." Lu San's mother asked in the yard.

"It's almost done." A Xiu responded, and his hands accelerated a little more.

"Why did you take out this quilt again?" Grandma Lu came into the room and saw Ah Xiu rolling the bedding, but she put the new quilt aside, and only picked up a thin quilt and an old quilt to roll it up.

"I heard that the kang in the cashmere workshop was burning hot, so there was no need to bring so many bedding." A Xiu smiled shyly at Grandma Lu and said in her mouth. She had not been through the door for a long time, and she was somewhat unfamiliar with the people in this family.

"Oh, you take it out again. When Sanlang comes back, he has to take it apart for you and put it in again. Why bother with it?" Grandma Lu put her two dry, black and thin slaps on her dress and wiped it, then reached out to get the bedding.

"You bring it with you. Sanlang is in this house. Can I still tell him to be frozen? It's time for him to pay his salary again. You can go with peace of mind. There are food and clothing in this house..."

"I'll do it." A Xiu said quickly when she saw that she was going to help her fold the bedding.

"Okay, come on." Grandma Lu handed her the bedding in her hand and asked her to pack it with her.

"After entering the cashmere workshop, you just need to work hard and don't worry about your family. When the month is off, Saburo will pick you up."

"No matter whether you choose or not, you can go to learn to knit sweaters, it doesn't matter. You should work on weekdays, and after you finish your work, just eat and sleep well. It's also good to be able to meet a few young ladies who work together. But you need to be careful in everything, don't ask someone to coax it..."

While Nan Axiu was rolling up the quilt, she listened to her grandmother talking to her. As she listened, her eyes became a little wet.

During the days when she married into the Lu family, her wife and wife treated her very generously, and her brothers and sisters respected her. There is no need to say anything about Lu San, and she wanted to spoil her as a little girl.

After hesitating for a while, Nan Axiu finally spoke: "Why don't I go any further, I will stay at home to serve my wife and take care of my younger brother and sister."

——And, I am with Lu San every day.

"Silly woman." Grandma Lu smiled: "While my old bone can still move, when will you stay if you don't go?"

"What a great fortune is it for ordinary women to learn a skill? I heard that in that cashmere workshop, when I don't work at night, there is a female gentleman who teaches people to read. I have never heard of such a good thing in my life, so you are willing to go?"

"I don't want to let go, but I just can't let go of this family." Hearing that the grandmother was thinking about herself, the tears in Nan Axiu's eyes could no longer be stopped.

When I was at my parents' home, my grandmother always asked her to think about her family and her younger brother, but she seemed to have never thought about anything seriously about her. Now that she has married, she seems to be a daughter.

"What can't let go?" Grandma Lu sighed and said, "You are my parents-in-law Lu. The burden on her shoulders is always heavier. Now that I and you, Aweng, can still move, you just need to go with peace of mind."

Soon after, Lu San came back and took A Xiu to the cashmere workshop while it was still early.

Grandma Lu Aweng and Lu didn't go there anymore and just sent them to the gate of the yard. The two young men in the family wanted to follow, but were also pulled back by the old couple. The young couple went out together, and the two young men went to join in a very lively manner.

Lu San carried a quilt on his shoulder and a bag in his hand. A Xiu carried an empty wooden barrel. The two walked out of the alley in front of their homes together, walked along a slope for a while, and arrived on the street, walked across the street for a while, and then saw the cashmere workshop.

Lu San never thought that this cashmere workshop was so close to his home, and when he was about to part, he felt even more reluctant.

"I'll go in by myself, so go back."

A Xiu had come to see the manager of the cashmere workshop before. The other party asked her to come to work these days. Today she brought bedding and other things to the house. She went in and settled it in a while and started working tomorrow morning.

"Then I'll see you in a few days."

"Um."

Seeing A Xiu walking into the cashmere workshop step by step with his bedding and a bag on his back, Lu San didn't know if he was more relieved or reluctant to leave.

He has liked A Xiu since he was a child. If other people's little wife has anything, he hopes that A Xiu can have it too.
