Du Xi returned to Beijing this time and successfully brought Wu You’s sales contract to Luo Yong. At this time, he was also called the market coupon. On this market coupon, Wu You’s owner has now changed to Luo Yong.

Du Xi also told Luo Yong that the ticket he obtained by making friends and giving gifts to each other was not through fraud, so there were no future troubles, so let Luo Yong and the others feel at ease.

Since he was making friends, he would have some kind of heart-to-heart talk. After getting this ticket, Du Xi and a young man in the family, the one with the best relationship with Du Xi, told him that Wu You is now, and also told him about Luo Yong's current status in Chang'an City.

Since Wu You was his escaped slave, he would definitely have some relatives and friends in this family in his early years. Du Xi advised the family to manage this relationship well and not to be provoked by those who are interested, and to have something wrong again.

The small families in these places often have their heads sharply and want to make friends with the gentry. If they meet those who are ulterior motives, they will be afraid of being used as gunmen and get involved in the disputes between the big family. In the end, they suffer heavy losses and even never recover.

Du Xi's handling of this was thorough, and Luo Yong was also very satisfied. He immediately presented a generous gift and promised that every quarter of the North and South Grocery Changle Branch would be given 10% of the dividends from Du Xi on time.

Wu You is a very talented person, and the amount of this bonus will definitely not disappoint Du Xi.

In addition, Luo Yong also promised Du Xi that even if something happens in Hexi in the future, he will transfer Wu You elsewhere and that the one he should give Du Xi will definitely not be missing.

Du Xi was naturally very satisfied with this result.

At this time, everyone asked repeatedly, and after he had kept it a secret, he talked about the matter with them.

When everyone heard this, the deal was good. It only solved the problem of the identity of a fugitive slave, and could actually get 10% of the dividends from groceries in the north and south.

Just look at the north and south groceries in Chang'an City. I don't know how much money I have to earn this year, and 10% of the dividends must be quite good.

I heard that the branch in Changle County is not bad either. It sells cotton gins and other goods in Hexi. The price is not low, and I will definitely earn a lot.

It’s a pity that this kind of good thing didn’t come to their turn.

It was also because Du Xi always had a good relationship with Luo Yong, so he asked Du Xi for this matter and made a lot of money by this guy.

These young men did not show their faces, but they had already had various thoughts in their minds at this time.

Du Xi saw it and smiled without saying a word.

The reason why he said things out today was actually Luo Yong's meaning. Luo Yong wanted to let these young people in Chang'an know through this matter that they would never suffer any loss when they cooperated with him. The benefits would be for life.

In this case, some young people who are so idle that they want to find some trouble for Luo Yong may need to consider it again.

Most of the young people in Chang'an in this era are more reckless and very challenging. They are not as rigid and steady as the image of ancient people in later generations. They are probably related to the current selection of officials.

If you want to be discovered and valued by the big men in the court, they must first be outstanding and famous. Not to mention that even in a family, if you want to gain more attention and more resources, you often need to perform outstandingly.

In this case, Luo Yong was worried that some young people who were eager to make a comeback would regard themselves as a challenge target.

If this is true, the situation will be very unfavorable to Luo Yong.

In addition, after Luo Yong proposed to establish engineering, the attitudes of Luo Yong began to change among the families in Chang'an City.

In the first month of the year, the establishment of engineering and education was finally set at Buzhengfang. Buzhengfang is located on the west side of the palace city and the northeast corner of the west city. It is a good location to be quiet in the midst of chaos.

There is even more nothing to say about public security. The Right Jinwu Guard was established in this place. The so-called Jinwu Guard is a department responsible for the security of Chang'an City. They are all under their jurisdiction for curfew patrols and other things. I heard that Yuchi Jingde also lives in this workshop.

By setting up engineering studies in this place, we can also show the importance the court attaches to this new study.

In addition, there were five doctors in engineering that were finally announced. On the basis of the original, Luo Yong was added. Among these five, he had the highest status, and he was the leader in all work in engineering.

In addition, the candidates for teaching assistants have been roughly decided, and there are a lot of people. Needless to say, there must be people from various families here, and the emperor himself will not be short of people.

Luo Yongnian just became the magistrate of Chang'an County before he and served as a doctorate in engineering before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. For a young man from a farmer, he had a prosperous official career.

There is Du Gou in the county government, so Luo Yong doesn’t have to worry about it. He just needs to go through the motions when he has to appear.

Luo Yong not only gave Du Gou rights, but also gave him money. As long as the problem can be solved with their existing money and power, it is not a problem. If it really cannot be solved, there must be some power behind it. With Luo Yong's current situation and status, there will inevitably be times when there is a need to compromise.

Du Gou, the acting county magistrate, did a very good job, and he used both kindness and power, and in a very short time he held down most of the old fried dough sticks in the yamen.

As long as the majority of people are held down, the rest of those who want to jump up and make trouble will not be able to consider the situation.

Du Gou is a man who is much more capable than Luo used to imagine. If Luo used himself in many things, he would definitely not be better than him.

There was also the young man named Xia Yan from Laizhou. They escorted Du Gou's journey of exile. After Du Gou was pardoned, the others returned to his hometown in Laizhou. He followed Du Gou to Hexi and participated in the Xueling Canal Project. Now he has arrived in Chang'an City and is still trying to help Du Gou.

A businessman's son may not be considered a success when he gets to his level, but he does have some power at present. His family in Laizhou should benefit from it, at least they will not be able to round and pinch it like in the past. Many people who used to be blocked by them in the past will gradually begin to give way to them. This is the benefit of power.

On this side, Luo Yong mainly focused on engineering and recruitment, and other matters, which were mainly handed over to Hou Lin. Luo Yong and several other doctoral students and assistants have been discussing the editing of books these days.

Since you need to teach, it is definitely not possible without books. You cannot count on others for this matter, you can only write it yourself.

Luo Yong assigned this matter to various doctoral students in engineering and teaching assistants. Although the status of these teaching assistants in engineering is not high and do not even have a grade, they are actually talents arranged by various families.

After all, those empty-belly goods are useless to put in with great difficulty. Not to mention whether they have the ability to access key technologies, even if they are exposed to them, they may not be able to learn them back.

Luo Yong arranged a group of them and asked each group to compile a book within one month. It was not necessary to be very thorough and profound, and it was intended to be practical.

Luo Yong himself did not do this. He was responsible for supervising the progress of each group and also helped solve some problems they encountered during the editing process.

Among these groups, the most anticipated one is naturally Hengzhi's group.

Hengzhi compiled a book with two assistants. With the help of more than a dozen students recruited by Hou Lin, the work went smoothly. In less than a month, he compiled a book and handed it over to Hou Lin to find someone to carve the printed board.

In a dynasty in mid-February, Luo Yong presented several booklets that had been written and handed over to the emperor and the ministers for inspection.

Among them is the "A Brief Analysis of Mechanics" compiled by Heng Zhi and others. This is the first time that Luo Yong and his disciples have presented the results to this world in the form of books based on the knowledge he brought from later generations and in this era after studying and experimenting in these years.

This is just a thin booklet, and the contents are not very much, let alone difficult to understand.

The book briefly describes the principles of mechanics and proposes that the magnitude of force can actually be obtained through calculations and analyzes some common things in life.

In the last few pages of this book, the use and principles of lever pulleys and other objects in actual production are described, with clear pictures.

Finally, the new concept of thermal energy was even proposed, which roughly explained the principle that it can be used in production, which is to unravel the mystery of thermal energy for these contemporary people.

There were mostly knowledgeable people in the court. Once this book was circulated, it caused a sensation.

Especially the last part of the content about heat energy, everyone had basically heard of it before and did not really understand its application principle. Many people even thought it was impossible, but Luo Yong and others were bragging. When they read this booklet, many smarter people understood it all at once!

There is really such a strange thing in this world!
