When Luo Yong came back this time, he stopped living in the Bai Mansion, but lived in the Huihe County Lord’s Mansion that the saint had given to Si Niang earlier.

Siniang Wulang and the others were packing up and they would move in a few days.

The county lord's mansion is located in Anyefang, on the north side of Zhuque Street, which is considered a good price comparison position.

Walk north from here, pass Fenglefang, Tonghuafang, and Shanhefang, and you can reach the Palace City Zhuque Gate. For those officials who often need to get up early to attend court, living close to each other is very advantageous.

As the magistrate of Chang'an County, Luo Yong does not need to attend court often. Generally, he only goes to a big court, but does not need to attend a small court. He usually goes to the public office of Chang'an County every morning to click Mao.

Go west from Anyefang, after passing Chongdefang and Chongxianfang, it is Changshoufang, which is the Changshoufang.

In short, Luo Yong lives in this place, and it is very close to work. The north and south groceries are in Xinghuafang diagonally opposite the northwest direction. A diagonal along this direction is Guangdefang where the old store of Ajie Food Store is located. The west market is west of Guangdefang.

As a county lord's mansion, it seems to be a bit noble. In fact, it is just an ordinary house, and it looks similar to the people around it.

Those who can live in this area are basically considered relatively good families. Not to mention anything else, the roof is covered with tiles instead of thatch.

Because of Si Niang and the others' moving, the Bai family's ladies have been helping each other these days, and have called their family servants to come and clean up carefully, and helped Si Niang and the others' houses.

If we see what is missing in this yard, after a few people have decided, there will be something ready in the Bai family’s warehouse, so we will move it over.

Luo Yong and Luo family husband often sat together and talked. The Bai family told Luo Yong a lot about the matters in Chang'an City, the current situation of the major families in the Central Plains, and the big and small things in the court.

In addition, it also talks about the war in Liaodong. Since last year, the war in Liaodong has become more and more difficult. The people of Goguryeo defended the city. The people of the north often invaded the people. The longer the war delayed, the more difficult the supply of food and grass was. The soldiers were tired of fighting and gradually became war-weary. The people of Liaodong were plagued by war and had already developed public grievances.

Ministers in the court submitted memorials asking the king to order the withdrawal of troops and end the war in time before causing greater losses.

Goguryeo is just a small country. Now there are checks and balances between the northern ethnic groups, and it is difficult to obtain them. You still need to slowly solve them. When the northern forces are wiped out in the future, Goguryeo will become a cyst.

However, when will he plan to draw it slowly? On the day when Goguryeo becomes the object in his pocket, will he still be alive?

It is a great regret in Li Shimin's heart that he cannot win Goguryeo in his lifetime. However, judging from the current situation, this war has become a wheel battle that constantly consumes the lives of soldiers and the national strength of both sides. Not only Marine, Xue Yantuo, and Turks are all ready to move. If they do not withdraw their troops at this time, they are afraid that they will take advantage of the situation.

Now the army has evacuated from Jiaodong, exhausted people and horses, and the food and grass are exhausted. After returning to the court, the army has no military achievements and rewards. At most, it is to comfort me. Some generals may be held accountable at that time.

This time in the battle between Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo, Xu Shiji and Li Daozong went there. From planning and preparation for the war to the final withdrawal of troops, he worked hard for a year or two, but in the end he couldn't find anything good.

After they returned to the court, this war that failed to return may become their weakness for being attacked by political enemies.

The court was full of wind and clouds, and the forces of all parties were complicated. Luo Yong worked as an assistant teacher in the Imperial Academy in Chang'an City last time. To put it nicely, he could be considered an official, but in fact he was still an inequality little shrimp.

This time I returned from Longxi and was about to serve as the important position of Chang'an County Magistrate. I was naturally much closer to the troubles between the upper forces.

After Luo Yong returned to Beijing in the past two days, he first reported to the Ministry of Personnel, and then waited at home to wait for the arrival of the day he took office.

During this period, a palace servant came to pass by, saying that the saint Xuan Luoyong entered the palace to meet him. Luoyong replaced the government office and followed the eunuch who came to summon him to the palace.

After entering the palace gate, you can no longer ride a carriage and have to walk on both legs. Most people at this time have no habit of riding in sedan chairs. Sedan chairs are also called shoulder carriages, and they usually only ride in mountain journeys. There are also women and elderly people on the flat ground, which are rare for young men.

The literati of this era are also martial, and riding horses and hunting is daily. A young and strong man cannot walk these few steps and needs someone to lift it up with a green cloth sedan, so he will not be laughed to death.

Luo Yong walked in the palace with the temple man who led the way. He didn't talk to him for a few words, but the temple man's attitude was very kind.

Luo Yong asked him: "I don't know if Eunuch Xu is safe."

The temple's man approximates: "Eunuch Xu is very nice. He has been very happy when he heard that County Magistrate Luo has returned."

Luo Yong smiled and said, "That's good."

When he entered the palace and saw the saint, the saint asked Luo Yong that he had worked hard on the way. Luo Yong did not work hard. Now the road is smoother, which is much better than when he went west seven years ago.

When talking about Luo Yong being forced to leave Chang'an seven years ago, the smile on the old emperor couldn't help but stagnate. Although he knew that this board was not a good product, he didn't expect that as soon as he met today, he mentioned this to himself.

If there are so many kings in Chinese history, Li Shimin has a relatively good temper, at least on the surface.

At this time, he did not get angry with Luo Yong, but praised his efforts over the years and comforted him with difficulties over the years. As an old bird in the political arena, he was really very good at speaking when he was obedient.

Luo Yong was also very moved to hear it, and then he said something to the emperor with heartfelt words.

He said that he was just such a piece of material, and he just wanted to focus on construction and fight for power and profit. If the saint could trust him, he would keep him in Chang'an City for the best use. If he couldn't believe him, he would just ask him to return to his hometown in Lishi (liao).

This "heart-loving words" made the old emperor twitch: "Luo Aiqing, this is fine, why did you say that you want to go back to Lishi's hometown? But what difficulties did you encounter?"

He always said that he would go back to his hometown and was not an official. Some old men in the court often used this trick. Now, this coffin board is not right, and he actually started to have a bitter relationship with him.

"There is no difficulty right now." He just wanted to do something big, but he couldn't do it without the support of the emperor.

"Then you just tell me what the hell is." The emperor's patience was finally exhausted at this time, and he was lazy and pretended to be a kind king.

"I want to start engineering," Luo Yongyan said.

When the emperor heard this, he stopped talking. This was not a trivial matter, he had to think about it for a moment.

Afterwards, Luo Yong explained to him the reason why he wanted to start engineering.

Now in Chang'an City, in addition to the educational institutions targeting the children of princes and nobles, there are also Chongwenguan, which was established in the second year of Luo Yong's departure from Chang'an City, there are also Imperial College, Imperial College, Four Schools, and mathematics, mathematics, mathematics, law, and finally, medicine is established in each state, and there are also in Chang'an City.

However, there is no school in the country that teaches engineering technology. Most of the craftsmen's skills are passed down from generation to generation, and they cherish them themselves and lack communication. If any bloodline is broken, some skills will be lost. It is a pity.

Luo Yong's purpose of establishing this engineering is to gather the strengths of various schools, constantly research new technologies, and devote himself to and disseminate advanced technologies. As the initiator of this matter, in order to show sincerity, he is willing to let his disciples come up with some of the technologies they currently master.

"...I have heard of it compared to the saints. In addition to the wind and water power, heat can also be used by people. The equipment my disciples have created now has been put into use in the needle workshop. Just burning charcoal can achieve wire drawing and cutting off these labors without investing much manpower."

"Now Hexi can produce white laminated flowers, with a huge output. I think it is possible to use heat energy to realize the process of spinning and weaving, but it still takes some time to study and study. Clothing and quilting in the world is a great cause. My disciples have limited abilities. If they can establish this engineering and gather the best craftsmen in the world to participate and brainstorm, they will definitely be able to turn this into reality. They can also cultivate young craftsmen in engineering, so that these technologies can be passed on for a long time and continuously optimized..."

The old emperor sat on the wooden bed and listened to Luo Yong talk about how prosperous the world was. If it was really as he said, spinning and weaving cloth without a lot of manpower, just burning some charcoal, then the world would probably change.

Is Li Shimin afraid of such changes nowadays? He is not afraid of it.

As he grows older, his body becomes worse and his enthusiasm gradually becomes less and less popular. In fact, he is also looking forward to some new things, some new possibilities, and even some miracles.

The battle in Liaodong has become a regret. The pill that made him sing fantasy and expectation was persuaded by Sun Simiao to stop taking it.

Sun Simiao had also refined elixirs himself earlier, but now he has stopped practicing. There must be a reason. Besides, people like him must not deceive him. After thinking about it, the old emperor would not eat it anymore, but he was inevitably a little disappointed and had no spiritual sustenance.

The young man in front of him was very brave to think about how to get the heat energy of carbonite and use it to spin and weave cloth.

Seeing his energetic appearance, the old emperor couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it's better for young people, but those old people in the court can have such enthusiasm.

"Good, let's start engineering and education as you said." The old emperor thought about it and thought that this matter was also good, so he agreed.

"Your Majesty's wise!" Luo Yong quickly gave the flattery.

"Forget it, I'm tired, you go." The emperor didn't want to hear his insincere flattery, so he asked him to leave as soon as he finished his business.

"Your Majesty, I have chosen and recommended the position of Doctor of Engineering!" Luo Yong said hurriedly.

"Who?" asked the emperor.

"Although his disciple Heng Zhi has a very small background, he has excellent skills and can be the position of a PhD in the Imperial Academy." Luo Yong could not let his disciples suffer losses. He had to fight for benefits when it was time to fight for them.

"Good." The emperor promised to get very happy.

After all, Luo Yong even proposed to take out the advanced technology he mastered and to arrange such an official position for his apprentice is not an excessive requirement. Besides, Hengzhi has also heard of this person, and he is indeed a talented person.

"There is also the scholar Hou Lin of the Imperial College! He also deserves this position!" Luo Yong said again.

"Hou Lin?" The emperor raised his eyebrows. He was familiar with this person. The matter of the Imperial College was a sensation a while ago. But he was just a scholar. What could he have to serve as a doctorate in engineering? Luo Yong was clearly using his power for personal gain.

"What can he do when he goes to work?" said the emperor.

"As big as a technician, you can't be a craftsman, you need a talent in managing personnel and finance." Luo Yong said with confidence.

The emperor glanced at the coffin board in front of him and hummed, "Okay."

He also knew that Luo Yong had a good relationship with Hou Lin, and he had indeed made contributions over the years, and he still expected him to work hard in the future, so this time he met his wish.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Luo Yong was happy now.

"Okay, go ahead." The emperor waved his hand.

"Your Majesty..." Luo Yong didn't leave yet.

"Why, someone else wants to recommend it?" The emperor was annoyed.

"Your Majesty, I wonder what kind of official position is the doctor of engineering?" Luo Yong was quite satisfied with being able to get two doctors in this newly established school and did not mean to recommend a third person.

"From the ninth rank." The old emperor said lightly.

"..." Luo Yong heard it, "Okay, the same grade as the doctoral degree in calligraphy and law, are all the last officials, two grades lower than the doctoral degree in law, and are incomparable to the doctoral degree in Guozi, Taixue, and four schools.

The status of craftsmen in this era is already low, even lower than that of officials, which is also expected.

After leaving the palace, Luo Yong went to find Hou Lin and told him about this matter. Luo Yong had asked Hou Lin for his opinion on this matter before, and he himself was very willing.

As a poor family, Hou Lin was extremely difficult to become an official in Chang'an City. In the eyes of the people in their hometown, he was also very promising. How could he know that he was in this officialdom with difficulties, and had no power to rely on or financial support. He was shorter than others in every place. He had been careful for many years but could not resist others' difficulties.

He was originally a very last-rate official, but when he was transferred to the position of PhD in Engineering, he was still the last-rate official, but he was much more free in his actions and did not need to look at people's faces everywhere.

Moreover, according to Luo Yong, although the position of Doctor of Engineering must have a high social status, as long as you can achieve results in technical research, there will definitely be no problem with welfare benefits, which made Hou Lin very fond of.

"Si Niang was in trouble earlier and thanked Hou's proofreading books for justice. This time, I heard that Hou's proofreading books were being excluded and embarrassed, but I can't do anything for you."

"Now you are asked to be a doctor of engineering. Not only will you not improve your position, but your identity will still appear low. In this world, craftsmen are always looked down upon."

Luo Yong and Hou Lin were both drunk and talked about the fact that the Imperial College exclusion of Hou Lin before, and he was also very angry.

Hou Lin has been in charge of the Imperial College for so many years and has been fine. Why is this time excluded? It is said that because a family is dissatisfied with Qiao Junlin as the leader, he wants to do something bad to Hou Lin.

"Sanlang, why do you need to say these heretics? I have no background, nor is it that person who is well-educated and talented. I have not made any progress in Chang'an City over the years. What else can I do? It's just to support my family." Hou Lin said, picking up the wine glass in front of him and drinking it all in one go.

"Don't say such a depressed period, don't look at the low status of this engineering. After a few years, in addition to the amazing results, the ship will naturally rise. At that time, the people on the ship will definitely rise as well." Luo Yong said confidently.

"Then I have to thank Saburo to take me to rise!" Hou Lin bowed with a smile.

"Natural." Luo Yong agreed: "Jung proofreader just sit firmly on the boat!"

The two had a great time talking, and they talked about Qiao Junlin who was traveling west. They didn't know when they would return. Now they don't know where they are, but they are still safe.

It was almost dusk that Luo Yong came out of the Hou family's yard and got on the carriage arranged by his disciples. He walked through the streets and alleys in Chang'an City with a slightly drunkenness.

Luo Yong opened the car window and let the cold wind outside pour into the car, see the scenery on the street, and dissipated the wine.

Now in this Chang'an City, everyone knows that Ta Luo Yong has returned. I wonder how those people will guess his next move, but I think he will open a workshop in Chang'an City this time to sell tofu?

This time when he returned to Chang'an, Luo Yong's ability as an official can be recognized by the superiors. They now have money and talented people around them. They have gradually established their own network of relationships in this Chang'an city.

Since that's the case, how could he still keep his eyes on those small workshops this time?
