Dr. Chen's canned meat was not kept in the end, and was turned over by His Majesty the Emperor. As for Dr. Chen himself, he was sent to mathematics and asked to stay for three months.

Among the several schools in Chang'an City today, the Taixue where Dr. Chen originally worked is a good school second only to Hongwenguan and Guozixue.

Most of the people studying mathematics are young people with average family backgrounds who have no hope of official career, so they choose to study arithmetic. In the future, most of them will become officials in some government departments, officials and officials. In this era, the status gap between officials and officials , and more than thousands of miles.

Those friends of Dr. Chen also made fun of him, saying that he did not send canned food to the emperor, so he got himself into mathematics.

In fact, everyone knows that Dr. Chen’s main task this time is not to teach the students of mathematics, but to teach the teachers there to enrich their professional knowledge. As for whether to teach these knowledge to the students , the imperial court may have to do some more consideration.

After His Majesty got these cans, he didn't open them all at once. He only opened one of the cans and tasted them with his queen and the three sons born by the queen.

He planned to store the remaining cans for a longer period of time and open a can every other day to determine how long this canned meat can be stored.

In addition, the emperor called relevant officials and asked them about the Chengzhou market.

"I heard that in the winter of last year, the price of sheep was very cheap in the Chengzhou area?" His Majesty the Emperor asked.

"It's less than [-]% of the price of Chang'an sheep." An official replied.

"From Chengzhou to the capital, the transportation is not too difficult." His Majesty the Emperor said again.

"Chengzhou is on the north side of the Yellow River. If you want to go south, you can take the waterway by the Yellow River first, stop at Mengmenguan, and then take the dry road. You can also pass Luliang Mountain and go south by the Fen River..." Another person is very familiar with transportation. said the official.

In fact, Li Shimin is also very familiar with the traffic and terrain in the area of ​​Hedong Road, Guannei Road. Their old Li family used to start in this area, and they didn't know how many battles they fought. Wouldn't it be funny if they didn't know the terrain?

He called these ministers here today mainly to talk to them about the feasibility of setting up a meat canning factory in Chengzhou.

The population of Chang'an City has been increasing year after year, and the surrounding areas have been grazing, and there is not enough food to grow. This has also led to a rise in the price of food and meat in Chang'an City.

The current situation is not particularly tense, but if this situation is allowed to continue, the food problem in Chang'an City will break out sooner or later.

Now that there is the sixth valley, the grain output has increased, and this problem has been slightly alleviated, but His Majesty still feels that it would be better if the problem of eating meat can be solved together.

In addition, the production of this canned meat should also bring him certain economic benefits, and it is also a boost in the military.

His Majesty the Emperor wants to open a meat canning factory, but he doesn't know how to do it now.

If you put things directly into the jar, it shouldn't be stored for that long. Besides, he also noticed that when this kind of can is opened, there will be a soft "chi" sound. There must be something in it. what a trick.

How to open this mouth with that coffin board...

His Majesty the Emperor is also a little embarrassed.

On the side of Xipo Village in Lishi County, Luo Yong didn't know what happened in Chang'an City at this time.

The people in the village were very happy in the past two days, because Wang Dang and the others came back, bringing back a lot of cheap and high-quality cashmere, as well as some rare things that they rarely see in their local area.

Wang Dang discussed with Luo Yong, saying that they also wanted to open a shop on the other side of the sheep house, and Luo Yong readily agreed. That piece of land is now Luo Yong, and it is impossible to build a small house or something on it. There is no need to greet anyone, just build it, but they have to give Luo [-]% of the store's turnover as land and market rent and protection fees.

With this shop, if Wang Dang and the others bring back some goods that are not easy to get rid of in time in the future, they can sell them in this shop.

Regardless of Xipo Village, the passenger flow is not as good as Lishi County, but the business is easier to do, and the purchasing power of the merchants who come here to do wholesale is often relatively strong.

Not to mention that there are still many gentlemen living in the guest house of Xu's family. Those people have money, even if they are expensive things, as long as they can catch their eyes, they will not worry about selling them.

In the past few days, Luo Yong also chatted with Wang Dang and the others to understand what Erniang and the others were like in Liangzhou City, and also listened to what they had seen and heard along the way.

Luo Yong asked Wang Dang what was the best thing to sell in Liangzhou City, and Wang Dang replied that the more expensive and more delicate things were, the better they were.From Liangzhou City to those countries in the west, the journey is long and the transportation is difficult. If it is an ordinary item with a low price, how can it afford such a high transportation cost.

After walking outside for two or three months, they finally came back. Wang Dang and the others also planned to take a good rest.

The next time they go to Liangzhou City, they will also bring a batch of Luo Yong's wormwood soap produced here.In addition, they also ordered a batch of folding umbrellas covered with silk cloth from some experienced umbrella craftsmen. This kind of folding umbrella is not so easy to make. In Lishi County, there are only a few people who are really dexterous. In contrast, the price is naturally higher.

To be honest, it was really hard work for two or three months, and it was really rewarding.

In addition to being excited, the brothers of Wang Dang bragged to the villagers of Xipo Village a lot in the next period of time, talking about how the Liangzhou City was, and how they were going along the way. The appearance is so good that many villagers yearn for it in their hearts.

But longing for longing, the villagers will definitely not give up the land easily to become a businessman, so they often hear it and forget it.

However, there are always some people who will really hear these words in their hearts.

On this day, Luo used to dig ditches on the slopes in the morning, and gave lessons to those who lived in Xu's guest house in the afternoon. He finally had some free time in the evening, but the old man Yin from the village came to him.

The old man Yin came back to talk to Luo Yong about his granddaughter Aunt Yin. Aunt Yin was abducted earlier and was finally chased back. Now she is knitting sweaters at home all day long and rarely spends time in the village. Walking around, Luo Yong couldn't remember how long he hadn't seen this little girl.

"Hey, it's all made by adults. My aunt is like this. It will be difficult to find a husband's family in our local area in the future." The old man Yin sighed.

In a situation like their aunt's, there are very few people who are really willing to accept him. If there is such a family, the adults of the Yin family will inevitably think about the other party's intentions. After getting married, you will be angry and listen to gossip. If you are looking for your in-laws locally, there is almost no way to avoid this situation.

"Ah Weng wants her to go to Liangzhou City?" Luo Yong probably guessed the other party's plan.

"It's just that I need to cause more trouble with Saburo." The old man Yin said: "If you are afraid that this sweater knitting skill will be learned by others, after she goes over there, I won't ask her to knit sweaters, just ask her to do some knitting." Rough work is, after two or three years, if we can find a loyal and responsible family over there to marry, we grown-ups will feel at ease."

"I heard from Wang Dang and others that my elder sister also intends to do cashmere business over there. If your aunt wants to go, it should be suitable." Luo Yong said.

"It's true! That would be great!" Old man Yin was very happy. It seems that his aunt has a way to go to Liangzhou City, and she can continue knitting sweaters after she goes there. It will be relatively easier to find a family there in the future.

"It's just that Liangzhou City is not as local as Shizhou after all. Even if my elder sister is there, I can't protect her well. She has to rely on herself for everything. If your aunt passes, it will be the same." Luo Yong can let Wang Dang helped him take Aunt Yin to Liangzhou City, but he couldn't guarantee what happened there.

"It's good if you can go to Liangzhou City. It's good to go to Liangzhou City. It's a way. She has no way to go here. It's better to go to Liangzhou City." Old man Yin said happily.

Just a few days after the completion of the irrigation system in Xipo Village, Wang Dang and the others finally set off again.

On the Yin family's side, besides Aunt Yin, Yin Lan also wanted to go with her.It is said that Yin Lan wanted to go on her own, and Luo Yong also agreed. Since Erniang and the others are going to do cashmere business in Liangzhou City, there are not too many girls in this village who can knit sweaters like this. , and the little girl Yin Lan has always been a safe one. Arranging her by Erniang's side and giving her more useful support under her hands made Luo Yong feel more at ease.

As for Mrs. Yin, she used to be a cheerful girl. After that incident, she calmed down, but she was still a good girl, and she didn't complain about anyone. For so many people who went out to find her, they took her back from the hands of the villains. For this matter, she was always grateful in her heart.

What happened to her is also embarrassing. Although the folk customs in the early Tang Dynasty were open at this time, even if this kind of thing happened, it would not drive people to a dead end, but gossip is still indispensable. Luo Yong also felt that sending her to the Liangzhou City is a good choice.

On the day of parting, Luo Yong sat in the donkey cart and watched the Yin family send the two little girls away.

The two little girls are very strong, they have both experienced things, and they didn't cry, but Yin Lan frequently looked at her younger sister Yin Duo'er. When Grandma Yin saw her, she put her arms around Yin Duo'er and said to her: "How about you?" Don't worry, there are still grandma and your uncle and aunt taking care of you at home."

The two little girls followed the merchant's team farther and farther.

This time there was no bullock cart to sit in. The kind-hearted Dinghu man tied their luggage to his wooden cart, and then the two sisters walked side by side in the middle of the team. They had to walk on two legs all the way. .
