88. Wisdom

Luo Yong's disciples were very happy to hear that their master was going to lend everyone the endless fields they planted at home. After receiving the news, they all came to Xipo Village one after another.

This time they did not live in the Xu family's guesthouse anymore, but returned to their previous courtyard.

This courtyard was lent to those who were Dinghu for several months. There was no dirty and dilapidated place. Wang Dang's wife Ahe was a good worker. She cleaned up everything inside and outside the courtyard.

From this time on, it is a little late to cultivate the land in terms of seasons, but if you only plant a single line of beans, it is still too late.

Not only the Xu brothers, most of the disciples Luo Yong planned to grow beans. Because the soap from the Luo family is very easy to sell, there are dishes such as Dongpo pork and the fish-flavored shredded pork that have just been developed recently. The price of the pigs here should not be able to be lowered for a while. After seeing this, many people within a radius of hundreds of miles have bought pigs to raise at home. Then feeding pigs requires beans, and crushing soybean oil requires beans. If nothing unexpected happens, the price of the beans here should also be high this year.

Beans are easy to grow, and they don’t pick the ground. They are also easier to handle.

It just so happened that these disciples Luo Yong did not work for farming. They were not in Xipo Village, so they could not go to the ground to serve the crops every day. They planned to use extensive planting methods to sow a batch of beans and harvest as much as they could in autumn.

These people are numerous and have good relationships with each other. At this time, the cultivated land will naturally not be cultivated separately.

There are many inconveniences when working alone, such as when grinding the ground with a tillage or sowing the seeds with a cart, both of them need to cooperate with each other.

Their trunks are usually made of wooden frames, and some rattans are weaved on them. The land turned over with iron plows must be ground with trunks. The purpose is to grind large pieces of soil and also play a role in pressing soil and maintaining moisture.

The so-called moisture conservation means keeping the moisture in the soil. After all, the Hedong Road is not as good as the south. There is not much rain here and irrigation is very inconvenient, so moisture conservation is particularly important.

"Look, that guy is here again." On this day, Luo Yong's disciples were working on the slope. Someone saw a merchant entering the Luo family's yard from afar, so he pointed his finger to the others.

"If you have the time, it's better to collect more lard in the city." A young man standing on the tillage and grind the ground without raising his head. The tillage tool itself is not heavy enough, so when using it, you have to stand on someone and press it down.

"Even if I get lard, I'm afraid I won't be able to change the soap in the past two days. There are more and more people queuing up in the past two days." Another disciple who was picking stones not far away stood up and looked down the slope, saying.

"What's the use of running towards the Luo family like him several times a day?" the first person to speak replied.

"I heard that some people said they would raise the price for their master and ask him to sell the soap to himself first."

"Master can agree?"

"Of course I refused to agree."

These disciples naturally knew what his master had. The nickname of the coffin board was not for nothing.

On the Luo family's yard, Luo Siniang knew that the other party was coming to urge the goods again, and this guy was not the first time he came back. So Luo Siniang simply didn't call Luo Yong, saying that her brother was working in the backyard. If there was nothing important, don't quarrel at him, so as not to delay the time of making soap.

It was not difficult for people to talk about. I heard that Luo used to make soap in the backyard, so I didn't say much. I just asked Luo Siniang how much soap Luo Yong had made today and how many orders he could make tonight. Then I didn't stay at the grocery store for a long time, and Youyou went to the Xu family's house again.

Luo Sanlang really lives up to the reputation of coffin boards. Recently, among the people who place orders for soap here, there are also some wealthy businessmen or people from big families. Everyone wants to get the soap as soon as possible. Someone has tried the soft and hard ones, but all of them are not easy to use.

Small businessmen like him can only come over to see each other often to relieve their impatientness.

If people at this time really like to follow the trend, recently, in Taiyuan City, Chang'an City and other places, those young men went out to attend poetry parties or drink flower wine, and if anyone had no fragrance of mugwort on them, it means that this person is already very special, and their whole family is very special.

The mugwort soap made by Luo Yong has been bought by many people in Chang'an and Taiyuan. Because this product is very novel and has strong detergent ability, it is very clean to wash. I heard that many people use it to rub mud balls.

If anyone can't use mugwort soap produced in Lishi County at this time, it means that their family can't keep up with the fashion and keep up with the times.

.

Recently, many large families in Chang'an City have sent servants from their families to Lishi County to buy soap, but without surprise, these people have hit a wall in Luo Yong. No matter which family they belong to, they have to queue up.

Because he was not specifically targeting any family, but everyone treated the same way, so he didn't offend people much, just that the reputation of the coffin board was a little louder than before.

On the evening of that day, Luo Yong made a pot of soap and went to the slope to see the growth of the Eucommia saplings, and then looked at the crops in the field. His disciples also packed up farm tools on the ground to finish the farming day. When the master and apprentice met, they started gossiping in the fields.

"Master, we often see people constantly entering and leaving your yard because they are anxious to buy soap. I heard that someone is willing to buy it at a high price. Why don't you set the price of this soap higher and earn more money before you." A disciple of Luo Yong said to him.

"This soap is a daily use item. I will set a price of 5 cents per yuan. Look at how many people can afford it in Lishi County, other prefectures and counties should be similar." Luo Sanlang stood on the ground and said to his disciples:

"There are already very few families who can afford it. If I want to sell more money at this time, I will let those merchants fight each other at high prices, and finally exclude those retail merchants who do not have strong financial strength. In the long run, there will be fewer and fewer buyers, and in the end we can only trade with the most financially-rich merchants and big families."

"You can tell that even if the group of people with the most wealthy power in the world are not in a silence, they are at least in peace. If I only do business with them, whether it is this soap business or other business, we will not be able to decide on it ourselves."

"Although those small merchants do not have much power, they are numerous. These people come from all directions to Lishi County, which will make our doors open and circulate. This state is beneficial to all of us."

Many of Luo Yong's disciples have been to Chang'an City once, and they think they have some knowledge. After hearing what his master said at this time, they know how shallow his eyes are. They can only see the little benefits in front of them, but they cannot see the undercurrents behind them, and they cannot see through the causal cycle of things development.

If Luo Yong hadn't told them these principles, they would probably not understand them in their own opinion in their lifetime. If they didn't know the laws and principles of this world, they would have to live their lives in a daze like a blind man and a deaf man.

"What the master thinks is very far-reaching." A disciple sighed.

"The ancients said that hearing the truth in the morning is enough to die in the evening. I, a rough man who doesn't know a few words, can now understand their feelings when they say this."

Listening to the disciples' feelings and praise, Luo Yong wanted to refuse a few words, but he didn't know where to start, so he just smiled.

No matter in that era, thoughts and wisdom are shining treasures. In this closed era, ordinary people have no chance to come into contact with such treasures. Those books that record the crystallization of the ancient thoughts are only held tightly in their hands by a few people.
