Regardless of what the emperor thought, from Luo's point of view, he felt that he had already made enough concessions.

Luo Yong actually didn't want to go out this far this time. If possible, he would rather announce the cement formula to the public directly. For roads and so on, just ask people from various places to repair them by themselves. Anyway, the income of the cement workshop in Xipo Village , and it's not that Luo uses the bulk of his current income, and he doesn't want to rely on it for a living.

But if he really did that, the method of burning cement would be like the paper-making method at the beginning, and would spread and develop among the people, and eventually large and small cement workshops would be built all over the country.

So how can the cement workshops in Chang'an City still make money?Once the cement business in Chang'an City fails, the treasury will suffer huge losses. Will the emperor let Luo Yong go, Luo Yong himself doesn't want to see such a thing happen, because the treasury is full of resources. To a large extent, it is related to the stability of society.

As for why this road must be built.

Firstly, from the letters written by Erniang earlier, and from Wang Dang and the others, Luo Yong probably has some understanding of the situation on the road from Lishi County to Liangzhou City. He believes that after the cement road is built, The local people should be able to benefit from this.

Although the emperor could also build roads, maybe he would build roads from Chang'an City to Chengzhou, roads from Chang'an City to Luoyang and Jiangnan, and even roads from Chang'an City to Liangzhou City.But the road from Lishi County to Liangzhou City cannot be expected to be built for a while.

It is definitely not easy for Luo Yong to build this road, but his difficulty is limited to the dedication of time and energy.

But for the people near this road, if this road can really form an economic bond, many poor families will become rich because of it, many children may change their fate, and many tragedies that would have happened would have ended. Likely to be spared as a result.

Luo Yong had told Zhao Chen before that he wanted to build such a road, and he really wanted to do it in his heart, so he did it.

Moreover, after this road is opened, it will become much easier to travel between Lishi County and Liangzhou City, and the distance between Erniang and her family will also become closer.

Er Niang said that she was going to set up a sweater workshop in Liangzhou City. Luo Yong knew that she was going to start her own business, and she would probably take root in Liangzhou City in the future.

In the past, for many local people in Lishi, if someone in the family went so far away from Liangzhou City, it would be difficult to see each other for the rest of their lives.Luo Yong doesn't know when he will see Er Niang next time, but they must be able to meet each other, in the not-too-distant future.

Here in Liangzhou City.

On this day, Luo Erniang was supervising the work of the workers in her cashmere workshop. Her landlord's wife came over and said, "Erniang, I heard that there is a house for sale in the east of the city, do you want to go and see it?"

"Go and have a look." Luo Erniang walked out of the yard with her without saying a word.

In the spring of this year, Zhao Chen and others brought a lot of pear juice from Lishi County, and sold it in Zhao's guest house, named it Immortal Drink, and the price was almost the price of Xianlu.

However, there are many poor people and many rich people in Liangzhou City, and many people have earned a lot of money by selling cashmere in the past two years.

The early spring in Liangzhou City is still very dry, the northwest wind is blowing, and the wind and sand outside are also strong. It is passable during the day, but it is very cold at night, and it becomes extremely dry when the kang is heated.

In such a place, wouldn't a bowl of sweet and moist canned pears be like fairy dew?

The Zhao family sent several cans to Erniang and the others, but Erniang was not very willing to eat it, and only opened one can after a long time, and several people would eat that can for several days.

In early spring, when the temperature is low, it can still be kept, but it will not work until summer.

There are still several cans in their house. There are canned peaches and oranges sent by Luo Yongtuo in the earliest days, and canned pears sent by the Zhao family later.

Erniang and the others only opened a can to eat when they were really tired, or when they felt homesick one day.Last time, Mrs. Yin didn't know whether it was acclimatization or something. She was ill, and Erniang opened a can for her at that time.

The Zhao family's money from selling canned food was divided into two parts, one part was kept by the family, and the other part was given to Luo Erniang.

Because they knew Luo Yong's attitude towards money and family, even if Luo Erniang was just a girl under the age of 20, they didn't think there was anything wrong with doing so.

Luo Erniang collected the money, and most of them bought property in Liangzhou City. Saburo told her at the beginning that Liangzhou City had a bright future, and it would be okay to buy more land and houses.

In addition, the Zhao family also reminded her not to keep too much money with her, and be careful to make others worry about it. If necessary, the Zhao family can also ask her to keep it on her behalf.Luo Erniang thought about it, thanked the other party for her kindness, and finally spent most of the money on buying land.

At the end of the spring, Luo Erniang bought the largest property she currently had, spent all the money she had at that time, added another cashmere thread, and bought a manor outside Liangzhou City .

It was a large farm with a good location, just beside the official road and not far from the gate of Liangzhou City. It is very difficult for a manor like this to change hands. It was getting more and more valuable. An opportunity like this was rare, and when Erniang met it, she didn't want to miss it, so she immediately spent a lot of money and bought it.

I heard from the businessmen who came and went that Sanlang has started to build roads here. She had heard Zhao Chen mention this before, and she didn't seem to be serious about Zhao Chen's words, but Luo Erniang knew that, Since Saburo said he wanted to build roads, she would definitely do it.

Sure enough, at the end of this summer, there was news that Nalishi Luo Sanlang was building a road on the Guannei Road, all the way to their side of Liangzhou City.

When Sanlang came to Liangzhou City, he must know how to run a farm. Luo Erniang doesn't have so much energy now, and she doesn't know where to start. Considering safety, she had no choice but to rent the farm first. To the Zhao family.

The Zhao family sent people to cultivate food in that farm, raise livestock in captivity, and also used it to house their subordinates and store goods.

In addition to that farm, Erniang Luo also bought a few houses and shops here and there in the city. It can only be said that the business of canned pears is really profitable. There will be a large amount of money in the account.

The past few days have been less. It is said that the Zhao family's canned pears are almost sold out. Zhao Chen and the others are going to Lishi County in the next few days to start the production of this year's canned pears.

Luo Erniang and their landlord's daughter-in-law went to the east of the city to look at the house. When they met the owner, they found that this person was not selling the house in good faith. Now that she has gained a reputation, some people think that she is willing to buy any kind of yard at any price.

The landlord's daughter-in-law was also introduced by her neighbor, but when she found out that it was such a guy, she immediately gave him a sip and left with Erniang Luo.

"It's a waste of time to tell you to take a walk. Next time, I'll have a look before calling you out." The landlord's family has some savings from their ancestors. They have owned several properties in the city, and the whole family lives on rent. The economic situation is not very good, and the couple will occasionally help others to take the lead and earn a little middle money.

"It's okay." Luo Erniang said: "If there is a good real estate, you should come and see it earlier, don't let others take it first." The manor outside Liangzhou City she bought was one step earlier than others have to.

"You're right, but today's one is really not good. I'll help you find another one next time." The landlord's wife said enthusiastically.

"Please trouble Sanniang." The landlord's daughter-in-law is the third in the family, and everyone calls her Sanniang on weekdays.

The two of them walked out of this alley, and when people on both sides of the alley saw them, they knew that Luo Erniang must have come to them to look at the property.

No one knows that Luo Erniang will buy real estate as soon as she has money and food, and they don't know why she buys so many real estate, and she can't live in it.I heard that during the war, many houses in their city were empty, and no one wanted them.

The Zhao family also talked to Luo Erniang about this matter. The house is only valuable when it can be sold, and if it cannot be sold, it will be thrown into the hands.

However, Luo Erniang followed Mo Side, and the houses and shops were still bought one by one, because Luo Yong told her that the future of Liangzhou City was promising, and it would be best to buy more real estate.

"Are you saying Erniang Luo is a little skeptical?" Zhao Qi said to Zhao Chen that day.

"She's a girl, can't she run a business like us, what can she do without buying a house after taking the money."

Zhao Chen was packing his luggage at this time. Seeing that the pears were coming soon this year, he had to go to Lishi County as soon as possible. This year's resources for planting trees were still tightly held by the emperor. Their family wanted to make For canned fruit, we have to continue to cooperate with Luo Yong.

"I just think she is willing to spend the money." Zhao Qi sighed.

"Luo Yong doesn't feel bad, we feel bad." Zhao Chen laughed.

"Oh..." Zhao Qi sighed and stopped talking.

He just looked at the little lady of the Luo family, and thought a little bit in his heart, his son is so old, but he is not married yet, if he drags it on, he will become a little old man.But now seeing how ruthlessly Luo Erniang spends money, Father Zhao feels a little uncertain again.

On the side of Chang'an City, there has been news recently that after the autumn harvest this year, the emperor intends to send corvees to build roads, and the road to be built is from Chang'an City to Liangzhou City. cement road.

After the news came out, many people in Chang'an City speculated that the emperor was worried that after Luo Sanlang's road was repaired, some merchants would bypass Chang'an and go directly from Liangzhou City to Lishi, and then from Lishi Go down to the south of the Yangtze River.

Now the emperor ordered people to build the road from Chang'an City to Liangzhou City. Most of the merchants who are used to this road will definitely choose this road instead of the northern one in the future. They are all cement roads, and the cement roads built by His Majesty the Emperor are obviously even better in quality.

Only in this way, the city that will benefit the most will naturally become Liangzhou City. Two concrete roads lead directly to this western city. In addition, it was originally an important hub city on the trade route between Datang and Western countries. , and the cashmere soap trade that has just emerged in the past two years.

No matter how you look at it, the development prospects of this city are very good, so many people in Chang'an City began to discuss whether they should go to Liangzhou City to buy property, and some quick-witted people have already sent people to Liangzhou City went.

Here in Liangzhou City.

Erniang lit an oil lamp, and wrote down the specific location of the house she bought that day and the total amount of money spent in a notebook stroke by stroke.

She bought a lot of houses and shops recently, if she didn't write them down, she was worried that she would forget them when she got busy.
