Most people in Chang'an know that Changle County has planted white buns this year. After the autumn harvest, it should be able to produce a batch of white buns. If nothing unexpected happens, a batch of white buns will be shipped to groceries in the north and south until the spring next year.

The affordable route of north and south groceries has always been adopted, even some luxury goods, compared with the prices that have been sold to the sky by merchants several times, the pricing of north and south groceries is much more plain and kind.

It is said that the white flower heart is very difficult to peel. Changle County has a sparse population and few Weaver Girls. I don’t know how many white cloth can be produced in this autumn and winter. If it is produced too little, the price will definitely be very high.

Most people in Chang'an thought about this, but they didn't. It was just after the ninth month of the lunar calendar. In the beginning of October, Changle County actually sent a batch of white cloth to their Chang'an City. The price was not very high, and it was sold out in less than half a day.

Many people in Chang'an City couldn't understand how the coffin board peeled out so many white folds and weaved so many white folds in such a short time.

In Changle County, many local people went to the county to buy white flower seeds at this time.

Luo Yongren set up a stall at the county government office. Every day, he asked people to use a car to bring it here to sell it.

The price is not very expensive, so it is still with some white cotton wool seeds, and it is sold in liters of rice. One liter of seeds costs five cents.

Since last winter, the local people in Changle County have basically been grinding needles to make money, only grinding less during the busy farming season. When they are free on weekdays, they have to move out these items to work. Over time, they have basically made some money. In addition, the prices of agricultural products here in the past two years are also good, and the seeds that cost 5 cents apiece can still be afforded by ordinary people.

But this liter of seeds is not many. This kind of seed is originally not small, and the seeds are wrapped around the cotton wool and scattered into the ground, so they can plant a small piece.

Fortunately, the county government is fair. They are allowed to buy seeds and sit on the side of the road to pick up the seeds that were damaged by the cotton gin, and some very small and of poor quality seeds. At that time, they will pick out a few bad ones at the stall and exchange them with the official selling seeds for a few good ones.

So in Changle County recently, people will always see such a scene. On the street at the county government office, people squat and squat, with oil paper, linen and other items on the ground, and a pile of white flower seeds were placed on it, and one or two were carefully selected.

Some people buy more, and they can sit from morning to evening in one go, and some careful ones will peel off the cotton wool stained on the cotton seeds and finally peel them into a small ball of cotton. When changing the seeds, they will hand it over to the officials at the stall.

I heard that the white cloth woven with these white laminates is very expensive. In these farmers' yards, they are not only the cotton wool stained on cotton seeds, but also very precious things and should not be wasted.

In this era, transportation is inconvenient, and farmers come from the village to Changle County. Many people cannot go back that day, so they have to stay in the county.

There is the cheapest large shop in the city. If you stay alone for one night, you only need a penny. If you bring animals, you will also have to count the money for animals.

There is a hot cake soup for money in the tofu workshop. Many people went in line early. After eating a few cakes, drinking a bowl of hot soup, they went out of the city while they were so hot.

After leaving this Changle County, they often have to go back to their homes for half a day or even a whole day, or even longer.

I will return this bag of cotton seeds and plant them together next year. After the autumn harvest, I will keep the seeds at home and will be more diverse in the next year.

I heard from those rich families who have planted white flowers that this species is very good to plant. It can be planted in ordinary dry land, and it can also be planted in saline-alkali land that cannot be planted in millet and wheat. It is quite resistant to barrenness and does not require frequent watering.

The magistrate of Naluo County also said that this white flower is most suitable for growing in Longxi. If you go to the Central Plains, you will not be able to plant it in many places. Therefore, even if the price of this white flower will be cheaper in the future than now, it will not be very cheap, and it will not be worse than growing millet and wheat.

If this is true, in the future, in addition to their own food, they can still use a variety of white flowers and then open up the land that was abandoned because they could not grow food...

Farmers are full of expectations for the days to come because of these white flower seeds that can make money.

At this time, Luo Yong and Qiao Junlin took two or three servants and rode their horses all the way to Yizhou.

Although Yizhou is a state of the Tang Dynasty, it was originally the Yiwu Kingdom. In the early years of Zhenguan, it surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and included it in the territory of the Tang Dynasty. In fact, the original Yiwu royal family still had considerable power and profound influence in Yizhou.

The situation in Yizhou is different from Dunhuang, Shazhou, and it is somewhat sensitive. As the head of a county, Luo Yong should not have crossed the state governor and dealt directly with Yizhou. However, the governor of Guazhou Chen Jiao originally adopted the attitude of herding sheep and eating grass to Luo Yong. This year, he heard that he did another big thing in Chang'an City, and King Gong was exiled because of their Luo family.

In the past, Chen Jiao used sheep to eat grass with Luo, which was to treat him as a hot potato. He was either afraid of him or not to get involved. Now, he was really a little scared.

Chen Jiao's family is not a particularly top family, and he is not the one who is most valued among the family. When Luo used this coffin board, he felt that he really couldn't afford to offend him. So now, whatever Luo Yong said is, it's better to have less things than more. The governor Chen just wanted to fill his term safely so that his family could bring him back to the Central Plains.

Now, when I look back on the styles he used to show in front of Luo Yong, he was strong on the outside but did the other side, and I would probably talk about people like Chen Jiao.

However, for Luo Yong, it would be a good thing to not have a boss to suppress him, otherwise it would be really annoying to be bound by his hands and feet.

Although Yizhou originally belonged to Yiwu Kingdom, in history, after Emperor Wu of Han fought away the Huns, he also stationed troops here. In the Gaochang Wall of Yiwu City, many Han people came to these places in that era to station their troops, and since then they have taken root and reproduced here for generations.

Therefore, in Yizhou, Han people are also mainly composed of Han people, and their customs are similar to those of the Central Plains. They are said to be Chinese in wearing Hanfu. As an oasis with a large area on the Gobi Desert, the agriculture here is also very developed and produces a lot of grain.

Yizhou is also very rich. On the Silk Road, if you come from Jinchang, if you don’t go to Dunhuang to the west, you will go north. The north is Yizhou. After passing Yiwu, you will go westward, and there will also be business roads leading to the Western Regions in Gaochang.

At noon that day, Luo used them to find a leeward place to get off the horse and rest. The officers took out the clear water cake from the bag, and the few sat on the Gobi Desert and ate the bread with a bite of water.

"County magistrate, Yizhou is so far away, why should we go? If the county magistrate is worried about the shortage of food in the county, just ask the merchants to buy it from Zhangye and other places." A servant said to Luo Yong.

"Zhangye is too far away." Luo Yong replied.

In their Longxi area, there are only a few places that really produce a lot of food. If Guazhou wants to vigorously develop cotton planting in the past two years, it is likely that it will face the problem of food shortage. In order to avoid insufficient food, growing rapidly in grain prices, or even causing famine, Luo Yong, as the head of a county, must make plans early.

"Then Yiwu is not much closer, and he has to pass through this large deserted beach, so it is probably very difficult to transport grain." Another servant also said.

If you go from Zhangye to Changle County, although the road is a little farther, the road conditions are good. Walking along the foot of the Great Wall, it is safe and safe, and you can also replenish food, aquatic plants and plants in time. In the past two years, cement roads have been built. When the cement road is repaired, it will be much easier to transport food than before.

It’s not like Na Yiwu. Although there are roads here, the road conditions are quite poor. I’m worried about the thieves and there are also large wastelands, and it’s difficult to replenish grain, water and grass.

These three servants said everything, and they were all trying to persuade Luo Yong to go back. After hearing their analysis, Luo Yong felt a little relieved and said with a smile: "You are thinking thoroughly."

"I don't know what the county magistrate is thinking." Seeing Luo's attitude, he clearly thought of the question that the few of them thought of was also the problem. Since that's the case, why did he have to go to Yizhou?

"This time, the court decided to build roads in Longxi, from Liangzhou City to Dunhuang City, and from the Liangzhou City to the Longxi city, the transportation of goods from pedestrians and commuters in Longxi is much more convenient than before," said Luo Yong.

"Of course we know about this," said the officers.

Luo Yong slowly explained to them while eating the cake: "Since this cement road is open, Yiwu and Gaochang naturally cannot look over there, so they naturally have to consider building the road."

"If Gaochang first built it, and built it all the way from Gaochang City to Dunhuang, then there will probably be few merchants who will pass through Yiwu again. From Gaochang to Dunhuang, I will always be happy from Dunhuang, and then from Dunhuang, and through Jinchang, all the way east."

"If Yiwu also built a road, he would naturally build the road along this old road to our Changle Jinchang area."

"Then the difference is the difference between whether we go this trip? No matter how the merchants go, they have to pass through our Changle County." A servant asked immediately.

"No." Luo Yong said: "If Yiwu's path is directly built to Jinchang City, but I am Changle County, then the merchants who go to them will naturally not pass through Changle County."

When those servants heard this, it was so great. If those Yiwu really did that, wouldn’t there be a lot fewer merchants passing by in Changle County?

"So, when I go to Yiwu, I want them to build the road to Changle County?" asked a servant.

"Not only should I build it to Changle County, but I also have to ask them to repair it as soon as possible. If it is repaired one day, Yiwu's grain will be transported to Changle one day earlier." With the support of the grain-producing area of ​​Yizhou and the cement road leading to Dunhuang and Zhangye and other places, there should be no need to worry too much about the local food problems in Changle County.

"Let's go." Seeing that Luo Yong and the others had almost eaten, Qiao Junlin, who had not spoken much, stood up and urged them to get on the road faster.

There is no Great Wall covering this road, and a few people walked unblocked in this wilderness. There is really no guarantee of safety. Qiao Junlin is very alert, and in comparison, Luo Yong is really a bit too loose.

It would be fine if Luo was loose, but why were these servants so loose? After returning this time, I would like to say something to Guo Feng, asking him to strengthen the training and management of the service team, so that they should not be loose and lazy.

"Oh, let's go." The servants stood up one after another.

At this time, they only felt that County Magistrate Luo was very smart and thought very carefully, but they didn't know what fate would be waiting for them after they returned.

Luo Yong saw that Qiao Junlin was annoyed and did not remind the big guys and let them go happily.

The group rode back on their horses and headed towards the Yiwu City. Everything they saw was full of Gobi Desert.

Luo Yong had never been to Yiwu in his life, but he had been to him in his previous life. There was another name in the place in later generations - Hami.
