Changes in a place cannot be hidden from the eyes of others.
Even during the Han Dynasty when transportation was inconvenient, changes in Lulong County gradually spread to surrounding areas during this period.
Especially the refugees from Qian'an, Linyu and other counties have begun to move to Lulong County on a small scale under the instigation of the rangers.
There is work to do and food to eat in Lulong.
Such news spread among the caravans of merchant guild members headed by the Guan family, as well as among the wandering knights who collected money from them in western Liaoning.
Once the flow of refugees to Lulong is opened, it will never be stopped.
In response to this tendency, Linyu and other local officials simply went to the signaling branch and handed the complaint documents to the desk of the prefect's mansion.
But Gongsun Jing didn't pay much attention to it. His father Gongsun Jing didn't care, so why should he bother.
In addition, his niece suddenly had a sudden enlightenment or something, but Qingyi Wine, which had been sold for tens of thousands of gold in Guzhu Village, generously sent him a cart.
I still come to Xinjiang and there is still some left after I have used it up. I am not stingy at all.
There was no response from the direction of the Prefect's Mansion, and the others did not make much movement.
These refugees, who stay in the county and do not want to be a shelter for everyone, are instead an unstable burden.
Sitting back and watching them starve to death would not be good for their political achievements and reputation, so it would be better to let these burdens go to Lulong.
Although the arrival of more refugees has made Lulong County officials even busier, the construction sites blooming all over the county and Lulongsai have indeed boosted economic prosperity.
There are hundreds of workers at a city wall construction site.
Surrounding the construction site, surrounded by hundreds of workers and stewards, there are countless job opportunities.
On the premise of ensuring wages, workers will have spending money on hand and they will have consumption.
In order to stimulate the economy, workers in Lulong County do not take care of food and housing as carefully as they do in Lulongsai.
Therefore, there are gradually some small restaurants around each construction site. The small restaurants sell a staple food called steamed buns and some side dishes, and the business is good.
Therefore, the employment of cooks, the operation of water mills and the sales of farm vegetable fields extended from restaurants.
There are also some cheap little restaurants with a bowl of wine and a pot of water next to the construction site for leisure.
There is also a hot spring guest house that provides a large pool for bathing. Although the dirty water and large public baths make the environment worrying.
But there are still families who live far away, or single men, who choose to move in after weighing the pros and cons.
One is cheap and comfortable, and the other is convenient.
A hot spring guest house can provide several job opportunities such as boilermaker and maid.
Even old women in poor health can find a job here as sweeping, mending or doing laundry.
Not to mention the wages and goods that workers take home, which is a new round of consumption.
It is difficult for others to see all kinds of things so deeply.
But these changes are indeed happening and are subtly changing the lives of residents in Lulong County.
Lulong County, with the support and promotion of various industries from the county government and the government-run chamber of commerce, gradually showed a busy scene from point to point.
Those who joined the Chamber of Commerce early on have already made their first pot of gold within the established framework.
A group of caravans used cloth tickets stamped by the county government chamber of commerce at the Lulong County Weaving Workshop to receive three carts of the most popular fine grass cloth in summer.
The fabrics coming out of the Lulong Weaving Workshop are all of the highest quality with fine stitching and smoothness, but the purchase price is low, making them very popular goods.
The steward said goodbye to the reception in the mansion in front of the weaving workshop. While he was happy about the profits that the three carts of fine grass cloth would bring, he was also a little dissatisfied.
The share of votes given to them by the county government chamber of commerce was too small.
These ticket distribution shares are determined according to the chamber of commerce membership level. If their level contribution is low, they will naturally receive a smaller share.
Even if you express your willingness to increase the handling fee, you cannot receive one more cloth ticket.
While the steward was making arrangements to clear the way for the convoy behind him, he was thinking about going back to persuade the head of the family.
Send more laborers to Lulongsai or send low-income craftsmen to Lulong to increase the contribution to the chamber of commerce and receive more cloth and wine tickets.
It's not that they didn't think of bribery, or simply stealing the drawings of the looms from the weaving shop.
However, the pickets in the county are extremely strict, and the last chamber of commerce steward and petty official who dared to accept bribes has been hung up on the wall of Lulong County.
The last person who dared to pay bribes and keep secrets had his fortress busted, and his family was given education and reform in the Luronse labor camp.
In particular, the county has been recruiting troops recently, and with the strong troops stationed in the Lulongsai military camp, no one dares to twist the tiger's beard and cause trouble.
A large amount of high-quality fine grass cloth from Lulong County has flowed into the market. With better quality and the same or lower price, in a short period of time, the original cloth market has been shaken to pieces.
Several households that had previously controlled a large number of weavers, but Lingluo households were unwilling to join the chamber of commerce, expressed their willingness to return their weavers to the officials of Lulong County in order to find a compromise.
Only a few families are still supporting it.
Thinking of this, the steward couldn't help but sigh.
Even if these families survive the summer, they will surely bow their heads in the winter.
He once attended an investment promotion exhibition held by the Chamber of Commerce with his family owner, where a thing called cotton cloth was displayed.
When winter comes, when this kind of thing appears, the burlap and silk stocked in most people's homes will be worthless.
The steward looked up again at the fleet of vehicles waiting to haul goods, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, times have changed!
While feeling confused, he passed by a group of people who had just entered the city.
This group of people was covered in dust, and it was obvious that they had come from a distance.
Sitting on an oxcart in the middle was a middle-aged scribe with a bold posture. He had a pot of wine bought on the roadside in his hand, his face was reddish, and he was looking around curiously.
"What a great place!" he said while burping loudly.
(It’s not a particularly famous person, so there’s no need to guess.)
