348. I don't want to

In the past, Aunt Luo and others went to Jiangnan to open shops, a large part of the reason was that they were optimistic about the prospects for tea trading in Jiangnan.

Now that the white laminated flowers in Longxi are coming out, there are also exquisite artifacts specially used to remove white laminated flowers. For a time, many merchants in the Central Plains went to Longxi to buy production. In contrast, the Jiangnan area seems a bit deserted.

Among the people who came with Aunt Luo and the others, there are now people who feel regretful. I feel that it would be better if I didn’t come to Jiangnan and went to Liangzhou City. Even if I don’t go to Liangzhou City, it would be good to stay in Chang'an.

It is said that Longxi is going to change a lot, and many local wealthy merchants in Wuxian think so. Even some people on their side have started to buy production in Longxi.

"Auntie, look at the fact that we can't do business in Jiangnan, it's better to make a decision early, so we won't be able to drink soup in the future."

On this day, several merchants from Chang'an City made an appointment to come to Aunt Luo's shop to sit down. Not long after she sat down, someone said such words.

Since the last time Yan'er incident, Aunt Luo has had some reputation in Wu County. In addition to the support of Hedong merchants, Luo Yong's relationship, as well as Luo Siniang, who was named the county lord by the emperor, and merchants from Chang'an City in Jiangnan, now they follow her head.

"That white flower is a good deal. No one knows. Nowadays, many people are watching over the Central Plains. It must be too late to rush from this Jiangnan."

Aunt Luo also wants to go to Longxi, and Luo Yong and Erniang are there. If she goes there, the three of them will be able to reunite. But what can she do after she goes to Longxi? Although Longxi seems to be quite lively now, if she is about to talk about consumption power and market foundation, it is still not as good as Jiangnan. Her sister's food shop is still more beneficial to stay in Jiangnan to develop.

"Then let's watch?" These merchants who came from Chang'an City were obviously a little anxious, fearing that they would not be able to catch up with the east wind.

"I can't catch up with it either side or right, so why not stay in Jiangnan and develop well." Aunt Luo has thought a lot about these days, and at this time she had already made a conclusion.

"Although the white stacked flowers are in full swing, the tea here is also very good. This spring, many merchants have come to collect tea. In addition, the silk production here is a place where fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River will not be too bad in the future."

Aunt Luo asked her to go to the food shop on the street to buy some food, and then took a few from her store, poured some rice wine, and talked to these merchants.

"I don't know when I will wait?" a merchant sighed.

As big as Longxi now, their family has never seen business in their business in several lifetimes. I am really afraid that if they miss this, there will never be such a good opportunity in the future.

"Why would you ask your family members from Chang'an City to take a look?" someone next to him suggested.

"Oh, don't mention it, it's not good. I'll ask them to guard the Chang'an City to survive, and ask them to go to Longxi... What's the situation in Longxi now? How dare you ask those unsatisfactory to join in the fun?" The man took a sip of sake and sighed.

"Then my brother went to Longxi a while ago. I don't know what's going on now." Someone said during the meal.

"If I hadn't brought enough money, I'm afraid I wouldn't have bought any production in Longxi at this moment."

"The price in Longxi used to be quite low."

“How can it be the same now?”

"I heard that your second mother bought a lot of real estate in Longxi?"

"She bought a lot."

"Oh, it's still your family who sees the long term, they can't compare..."

"Auntie, can Jiangnan have the prospects of Longxi in the future?"

"Have your brother Luo Sanlang ever said anything?"

"I mentioned Jiangnan to him in the past, and he said that Jiangnan is also a good place. If the shipping in the future is prosperous, the prosperity of the Jiangnan region will probably not be even comparable to Chang'an City."

“Sea transportation?”

"Oh, that's far away..."

How dangerous is the sea? It is not easy to develop by sea transportation.

These people didn't really want to go to Longxi when they were drinking and talking. They just didn't catch up with the rapid development of Longxi and missed a good opportunity. They felt very sorry.

When these merchants left, it was too late. The curfew in Wuxian was useless. The city was very lively at night, and there was also a night market.

Lanterns are hung in shops along the street and lights are lit, and there are hard lights reflected in the canals on the street. There is also a faint water vapor in the evening breeze. People are enjoying the coolness and walking on the street. The business of each restaurant is often good.

The business of this sister's food shop in Wu County has already been on track and has a very good reputation. Aunt Luo is not only busy doing business every day, but also attaches great importance to the training of hired workers. Now in this shop in Wu County, she has also cultivated several capable people under her command.

After a while, she planned to open another shop in Yangzhou. With her good reputation on both sides of the canal, it would not be difficult to operate this shop, but the money has not arrived yet.

At the end of last summer, Aunt Luo organized a cargo transport team in Wu County and asked them to transport a batch of canned loquats and canned bayberry to Chang'an City. Chen Ji followed him and went upstream. He finally arrived in Chang'an City after winter.

This batch of goods sold very well. The money and silk earned and the income from the shop in Chang'an City, Aunt Luo asked Chen Ji to exchange groceries in the north and south to transport them to Wuxian. In addition, there were copper coins, gold and silver, and silk and silk.

When the money arrives, Aunt Luo is planning to buy an orchard in Wuxian.

Although Longxi is prosperous now, it is obviously a bit too late if they invest at this time. Although the real estate price in Jiangnan is not very cheap, if it is true that as Luo Yong said, there will be good development prospects here in the future, then she will now buy an industry in Jiangnan and will benefit in the future.

The food shop and orchard were originally in line with her business. Even if she could not catch up with opportunities like those in Longxi, she would not be too bad in the future after accumulating and careful management.

What Aunt Luo didn't know was that a major project would be launched soon in Chang'an City. The saint discussed with the ministers that he would build a road between the western capital Chang'an and the eastern capital Luoyang.

There was originally a waterway between Chang'an and Luoyang, but a cement road was built in recent years. Now, the road is built again, and the same wooden track as Changle County is built.

The Central Plains Dynasty and Xue Yantuo had just ended a war, and the emperor said he wanted to build a road. However, this time, few ministers in the court had opposed it, and most of them agreed.

First of all, the eastern capital Luoyang has a special status. The closer the connection between Chang'an City, the better. Many families in Chang'an City are also operated in Luoyang. If this wooden track is built, it will be very convenient for them to communicate with Chang'an and Luoyang in the future.

Secondly, it is for transportation. Henan, Hebei, and there is a land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River. Every year, just transporting taxes to Chang'an City requires a lot of manpower and material resources. After all, it is going upstream, and transportation is really not easy. Although there is a cement road now, no one thinks it is too much.

At this time, the forest coverage rate was very high and the wood was easy to obtain. There were also many craftsmen who could do carpenters in Chang'an. It was much more convenient to lay wood tracks here than in Longxi.

The Ministry of Revenue also provided the money and silk for laying this wooden track very quickly. In short, everything is ready now, and only the east wind is missing. As for this east wind, just...

"Have the coffin board's documents arrived?"

"I don't know if he wrote the document."

"It should be written."

"After all, this paving thing is different from opening a workshop in Changle County to do some small business. How can we not report it to the court?"

"Hmph, that's hard to say."

"Maybe the Luo family made him angry before."

"That's a coffin board."

"What's going on with Chen Jiao from Guazhou? Why doesn't he even say anything this time?"

"Who knows."

"Tsk..."

Everything is ready in Chang'an City, just waiting for the construction of the road, but before the road is built, there is still a deadline to go.

After all, this wooden track was built from Changle County. Now Chang'an City also needs to be repaired. The best thing is to ask Luo Yong to write a document, and then the court praised him again, then promoted the technology, and then spread the wooden track from Chang'an to Luoyang. In this way, it will be a natural result.

Now, Luo Yong didn't even say anything but a document was handed over. If Chang'an City didn't say anything, just build the road as they did. This matter would be a bit...

So in recent days, whenever the officials in Chang'an City who are looking forward to building roads meet, they will ask each other:

"Will the coffin board document arrive?"

“Not arrived yet?”

"Maybe it hasn't been written yet."

"It's better to find someone to give me some advice."

"I'm afraid I don't think about that coffin board."
