Since meeting Xu Erlang that day, Du Xi has thought about what kind of excuse to leave Chang'an City so as not to attract attention as much as possible, so as not to cause trouble.

His friend ran into this critical moment, so Du Xi took the opportunity to pinch him, and then left Chang'an City in anger.

The big families in Chang'an City didn't take Du Xi's affairs seriously. They just felt that he was used to being glorious in the past, but now that time has changed, he still doesn't know how to restrain himself at all. He is really an incompetent person.

What everyone cares most about now is the Goguryeo thing. The saint not only decided to fight in person, but also seemed to have plans to join the prince. When the emperor left and the prince was not there, then in Chang'an City...

Of course, some people in the court advised him, but it was useless. Some big families were making some ideas behind their backs at this time, and no one could explain clearly. In any case, it was a bit messy and people's hearts were not very stable.

In addition to this matter, the people inside and outside Chang'an City are more concerned about recently, that is, the sweet potatoes planted this spring, which can be harvested at this time.

In addition to the families of some dignitaries, all the temples of Chang'an City were planted with sweet potatoes at the beginning of spring this year. Later, when the sweet potato vines on the ground grew lush, some people went to ask for sweet potato vines, asking for one or two to go back and planted them in their own yards.

Some families also get one or two green vines from the big families that grow sweet potatoes through this and that, and there are also sellers in the market.

In early spring, the price of sweet potato vines was very high. When summer began, many people's sweet potato vines grew out, and the price became much lower.

People in this era have never grown sweet potatoes, and they don’t know if they have missed the season after summer. However, when the price is not very expensive, many people are still willing to spend 10 to 20 yuan to buy a few sweet potato vines and put them in their own yard.

Until autumn came, there were still poor families who finally asked for a few sweet potato vines from others to plant them.

I heard from those merchants from the Western Regions that Luo Yong, the magistrate of Changle County, saved the sweet potato vines from last year until this spring and distributed them to the villages and towns under his jurisdiction to grow. I heard that they also looked very good.

They inserted these vines at this time. Even if the season has been missed, it would be good to grow a few more vines. If they were lucky enough to store these sweet potato vines until the beginning of spring next year and do not rot to death, wouldn’t they be able to plant sweet potatoes full of a large yard next year!

There are not many people who think this way. I heard that there are also some large farmhouses outside Chang'an City. This year, there are also many sweet potato vines inserted into it. It is said that the best fruit can be produced, but if you can't bear it, you will not lose money if you collect these vines.

As for the method of hiding the cane, it is said that it is similar to the method of hiding the melons in Yiwu.

So those Yiwu merchants in Chang'an City have been asked about how they hid melons over the past few months. Some people know the inside and told them about the method. Soon, they spread the word. But they didn't know how many people could hide the sweet potato vine until the beginning of spring next year.

After staying in Gaochang, they would get off the wooden carriage and drive the animals to walk slowly. There are many small countries in the Western Regions, including friendly people, but some of them slaughtered caravans as fat sheep. In addition, they should be wary of robbers and thieves. It is always safer to walk with more people.

Qiao Junlin and the others were also ready in the morning and were waiting for the right caravan to pass by here so that they could walk with them.

This time, these people passed by Changle County. Luo Yong discussed with Tang Jian and the young people who were about to travel, and decided to leave with them.

On the day of departure, everyone pulled out the wooden rail carriages that had packed their luggage in advance from the warehouse. The young men each carried a simple bag, waited for the carriage, and followed the team of Hu merchants.

On the wooden tracks, the wooden carriages were separated by a relatively safe distance from each other. With the sound of the horse's hooves, they ran away without a trace soon.

On this side, without waiting for Luo Yong to be sad, the court sent a document.

In the document, Luo praised Luo for his contributions to the development of economy and support of the people in Longxi over the years, and also said that there are often enemy troops attacking the border areas of Hexi, so that they should be careful. The overall meaning is that during the saints' expedition to the east, they should not make any mistakes in Longxi.

It must be more than Luo Yong who received such documents. For this matter, Luo Yong went to Tang Jian again and asked him if there was really no room for improvement in the Eastern Expedition.

Tang Jian just shook his head at this time, saying that he was unable to change this matter.

Earlier, he wrote a document of persuasion and went back, but it turned out to be like a rock sinking into the sea. However, Chang'an did not reply to him with only a few words.

The two sat opposite each other and talked. Tang Jian reminded Luo Yong that the sages eastward and a large number of soldiers went to Jiaodong. At that time, the Central Plains were weak and if there were wars at the border, the court would be unable to deploy a large number of reinforcements, so they could only rely on the border soldiers to support it.

So at this time, the court sent them such official documents, which meant that they would tighten the border. There should be more detailed terms for the governors and the Protector of Guo Du.

The tightening of the border will definitely have an adverse impact on the local commerce development in Longxi, so that Luo Yong must be mentally prepared.

Luo Yong also realized this problem. At present, their immediate boss is Guo Xiaoke. I don’t know what he thinks about this matter and plans to tighten the border policy to a certain extent.

As a result, before Luo Yong could figure out Guo Xiaoke's attitude, the caravan from the east of Longyou Road brought news over, saying that Guo Duhu was going to build a road between Jiuquan and Zhangye and between Zhangye and Liangzhou.

This time, Guo Xiaoke was going to lay wooden tracks between Jiuquan and Liangzhou, and the reason given was to strengthen the ability to transport troops, food and grass between Longyou Road and Anxi Protectorate.
