444. Do not escape

Zhou Xin used to be a manager in the Zhou Mansion for decades. He was in the front yard and the back yard, the outside and the inside, and the scenes were not difficult for him.

A few days after taking office, he arranged everything inside and outside properly. Wulang and Qiniang were finally able to take off the burden on their shoulders.

The two of them said they were in charge of the business together. In fact, the main reason was that Goro had a lot of control. Qi Niang just started to fight, and Goro didn't complain. She talked a lot.

After Zhou Xin took over the work of the two of them, he told Luo Yong that Wulang could manage money and silk, and the accounts were very clear. He knew where to spend money and where to save money. It was rare for a young man in his early twenties.

Speaking of which, Wuro is a bit strange. Among these brothers and sisters in the family, he has been the worst arithmetic since he was a child, and he is also a financial fan. He can sit on the kang and count it repeatedly for a day.

After he grew up, he lived in Chang'an City. He had a good reputation. He made many friends. A group of young people played around all day long. Logically speaking, people who like to make friends are very good at spending money. Goro doesn't, he saves money.

Compared to him, Luo Yong was like a reservoir with a gate open, and the money was like rushing water, rushing out without stopping for a moment.

Not to mention others, Luo sometimes even spends money, and his income is not as fast as he spends money.

Not only Chang'an City, but the disciples from Changle County earlier also communicated with him, saying that Bai Yimao was going to build railway tracks in Longxi, and the Changle County Duke could not afford so much money, so he went to discuss with Anxi guardian Guo Xiaoke.

Guo Xiaoke was so stingy. Now everyone in Chang'an City knew that he was digging iron ore in Hexi. Their Guo family was well developed. This guy was also crying with Bai Yimao. He said that mining was not easy and needed to invest a lot of manpower and material resources. He was also short of money and money, and he urged Bai Yimao to pull Luo and his disciples into the group.

When Luo Yong received the news, Bai Yimao and Ding Min's official documents also arrived in the court. Although the chance was slim, they still tried to apply for the imperial government appropriation.

As a result, the application was rejected mercilessly. It is reasonable that the wooden tracks have not even been opened on the road from Chang'an City to Longyou Road, so there is no reason to first build the railway tracks on Longyou Road.

Many people in the court said that Bai Yimao, a young man, was too ambitious and foolish.

As for Ding Min, although his official position is higher than that of Bai Yimao and is the governor of Guazhou, in terms of family background, it is not as good as Bai Yimao at all, so this matter must be the lead of Bai Yimao.

After some consideration, Luo Yong agreed to let his disciples in Longxi invest in this railway construction.

Although the money will be trapped in this way, and there is no such thing as how much financial rewards can be obtained in a short time, and we can only get dividends every year, but this is also an opportunity for his disciples to improve their status in Hexi.

Furthermore, for the sake of his older sister, Luo Yong naturally hoped that Bai Yimao could return to Chang'an earlier and settle down with Si Niang.

Si Niang is twenty-three years old this year, and she is already late in this era. Bai Yimao is one year older than Luoyong, and she is twenty-nine now.

Luo Yong didn't want to say that one day when Bai Yimao finally returned from Longyou Road, he was already thirty-five or six years old. After the two got married, Bai Yimao was only forty years. When he reached forty, his appearance would definitely begin to decline.

In order to allow Si Niang to spend a few more years of beautiful and quality marriage life, the railway on Longyou Road still needs to be invested.

Longyoudao said that it would build a railway. Although the DPRK and China did not agree to the allocation of funds, they were also very concerned about their attitude.

At this time, I heard that Luo Yong wanted his disciples to invest in the railway construction there, so the emperor asked him to the palace to ask him about his thoughts. There was nothing to hide. Luo Yong said about Si Niang and Bai Yimao.

Somehow, this incident soon spread inside and outside the palace, saying that Luo Yong would spend a lot of money on Longyoudao for the sake of Bai Yimao's brother-in-law.

In fact, when Si Niang and the others lived in the Bai family in the early years, there were rumors about Si Niang and Bai Yimao, but at that time, most people expressed that they were not optimistic and felt that they were not in a good match.

Later, Si Niang even embarked on the path of doing business, which was even more inappropriate. Bai Yimao is the eldest grandson of the Bai family. How could their Bai family have a mistress to do business?

Now no one says this anymore, because Luo Yong is no longer a small local official far away from the border with uncertain future. He has now transformed into a potential stock in the court, and even Changsun Wuji wants to win him over.

With the management of their Bai family for generations, coupled with the financial support of the Luo family, and the help of Luo's future brother-in-law, Bai Yimao's future career will naturally be highly favored.

As for Si Niang's business matter, it will be discussed slowly at that time. In fact, it is not a big problem. After all, she doesn't have to be a mistress as soon as she gets married. Bai Yimao's mother and mistress are still healthy, and it is not her turn as her granddaughter-in-law to take on the responsibility.

If the Bai family really minds, Luo Yong can find some other way out for her, otherwise she can just go to the textile school to be the principal, which is much more expensive than doing business.

Otherwise, what happened in the past thirty years Hedong and thirty years Hexi was so worried about Si Niang. With Luo Yong's return, the development of their Luo family is no longer a problem.

She now hopes that Bai Yimao can return from Longyou Road as soon as possible. Even if she quarrels with her every day, it will be better than being so far apart now.

Si Niang has always been a capable person. In the past, Luo Yong and Auntie and Er Niang were not in Chang'an City. Si Niang was older than Wulang and the others, so naturally took on the responsibility of taking care of her younger siblings.

Later, she slowly took on the operation of the north and south groceries in Chang'an City. Earlier, Xu Erlang and others helped. Now Xu Erlang and the others have gone to Luoyang to develop new stores. Si Niang has always been the mainstay of this shop in Chang'an City.

The emotional problems with Bai Yimao have also troubled Si Niang for many years, and she had suffered silently before.

Now all the problems are no longer problems, but she still has to endure this pain of longing for love. This time, she feels extremely wronged...

Luo Yong also knew that it was not easy for Si Niang, but he could only help here for the Bai Yimao incident.

A few days later, Luo Yongzheng negotiated with a Hu merchant about the price of a batch of fine iron.

These Hu merchants who settled in Chang'an do whatever they want to make a living, and those who are loan sharks, and those who are more secretive are all political investments. It is also very common for them to buy, sell, and stock up on goods.

Seeing that the railway track on Henan Road was about to be completed, Luo Yong estimated that the iron price in Chang'an City should also be reduced.

But Hu Shang said that there were still railway tracks on Longyou Road, and the price of this iron will definitely not be reduced for the time being.

"I said that if I want to reduce the price, it must be a price reduction. If you don't believe it, just keep this batch of fine iron in your hands and wait for Guo Duhu to sell the black iron mountain to the Central Plains on the day."

Luo Yong was very sure that the price of iron would drop sooner or later, but he didn't know when it was exactly. He was eager to use iron. The Textile School wanted to build teaching buildings and dormitory buildings. Needless to say, this was another considerable investment.

Hu Shang was also hesitant because he knew in his heart that when the black iron from Longyou Road was sold to the Central Plains, the iron price in Chang'an City would definitely drop, but he didn't know when it was.

The batch of fine iron in my hand is large, but it is difficult to sell it for a while. If you have the ability and need to buy a large amount of iron, you may only use it now. If you are not very urgent, you will want to wait until the price of fine iron is reduced.

They were discussing between them that a follower next to Du Gou came to find Luo Yong, and someone came from Longyou Dao again.

"Is someone here again?" The news here has been sent for a few days, and I don't know if I have arrived in Longxi, why is someone here so soon? Could something big happened?

These things were not easy to say in front of Hu Shang. Luo Yong bowed to him, saying that he would talk about it another day, and then left in a hurry.

While walking on the road, he asked the person who was passing the message for a brief question, and Luo Yong knew that this time it was Guo Xiaoke's people. Because of the incident of a group of refugees entering the country, he wrote a document and asked the court for instructions.

In other words, if Lao Guo doesn't make any decisions about this matter, he will do whatever he wants to criticize the court. He will not take the blame if something goes wrong in the future.

I heard that this group of refugees is quite large, with thousands of them, including various Hu people. There are even many Hu people who say they want to come to Chang'an, and Guo Xiaoke himself is indeed not very good at making any decisions about this matter.

A few days later, it happened to be the 15th day of July, and the ministers really argued about this matter.

Many people are worried that there will be careful things there, which will harm the safety of the people along the way and Chang'an City. Not to mention Chang'an City, it is best not to let them in even the border.

"If you do it carefully, you will naturally have a better way to sneak into the Central Plains. How could you use such inferior means to mobilize many troops and arouse suspicion?" There are naturally those who agree that these miscellaneous people will enter the pass.

"Yang Chaoyi said this. If these miscellaneous people are in trouble in the future, can you afford it?" The opposition immediately said aggressively.

"Since I wear this official uniform, I naturally can afford it." Yang Chaoyi's implicit meaning was to ridicule the other party for being timid and afraid of being an official, so it would be better to go home and eat yourself.

"Can you afford it? How many people are in your family? If something goes wrong, I'm afraid it's not enough to pay for the lives of others." Someone there mocked Yang Chaoyi for being a humble family and having a small family population.

“…”

Once a quarrel occurs in the court, it will be very fierce, and they all look like they have taken gunpowder.

These men from the gentry were nutritious and well-educated, and most of them were tall and tall. They spoke very well and often had high postures. As for those officials from founding heroes and military generals, let alone those who were timid, they would show their timidity when they were yelled.

Luo Yong sometimes feels that he is standing in this court like standing among a bunch of jackals, tigers and leopards.

Normally, as long as it is something that has nothing to do with him, he usually doesn't want to provoke these jackals, tigers and leopards. However, this time the matter of this refugee is a little different. He is very clear about how bad the natural living conditions of the border are. Those refugees risk their lives and travel thousands of miles to the pass and join the Tang Dynasty. How can they drive them out of the pass again?

Looking for a gap where they were not very quarreling, Luo Yong finally stood up and spoke:

"I think it is better to absorb the mixed Hu on the spot and spread them in the states of Longxi. Longyou Dao was originally a place where Hu and Han live together. There are more than a few thousand mixed Hu, which will not hinder anything."

No matter what, Luo Yong believes that these people should be placed first, after all, life is at stake.

As for those who still want to come to Chang'an City, they should be placed on the spot first. As long as they are smart, they will always find opportunities in the future. There is no need to take such matters to the court for discussion.

It was no surprise that Luo used this to speak, and many people immediately began to point at Luo Yi.

He said he had everything, and some people even suggested why Luo Yong had so much gold, silver, money and silk, and invested in the construction of railway tracks and established textile colleges.

I heard that he was recruited by the Turkic Khan in his early years in Longyou Dao. Is it because he had a connection with the Turkic people at that time? Because the Turkic people supported him behind their backs, they had endless gold, silver, money and silk.

"Absurd!" someone immediately retorted:

"How can you do it in detail without making friends or attending banquets? It is to spend money to build schools and invest in railway tracks? Are you a Turkic person who can open a good church?"

There are so many industries in the Luo family. The so-called monks can't run away from the temple. Luo Yong will not be able to think about it until he is kicked by a donkey, so he will be unable to think about it and make it a meticulous work for others. What is the difference between this and burning his own house?

"If you didn't do it carefully, what's your heart?"

"The young man thought that the peaceful world was in vain before he went through the war, and no one dared to put it in the pass."

"When will those miscellaneous people make trouble on which day, see where you are going to escape?"

Luo Yong laughed when he heard this. The man actually asked him where he was going to escape. He was afraid that he didn't know how much investment he had made recently and spent money to his heart.

"Why should I escape?" Luo Yong asked him.

"If you don't run away, then wait for death." The other party cursed.

Luo used his official robe to shake his official robe, carrying a righteous coffin board posture:
Chapter completed!
