North and South groceries

In fact, Luo Yong's mood in the past few days is far from being as relaxed as he showed. He just doesn't want the adults and children in the family to worry too much.

He will soon leave Chang'an City, this is a fact he cannot change, in fact, this is his only way out.

This time, so many people stood up to ask for the dismissal of Luo Yong's official position and opposed him in the open, and the ministers in the court did not have the will to protect him. Under such circumstances, the emperor's retention was naturally It became Luo Yong's only choice. If he even gave up this choice, then he would completely deviate from the current ruling group and not be with all of them.

Whether for the sake of his disciples, for his family, or for Luo Yong's unfinished business in his heart, he couldn't make that choice.

The only thing he can choose now is whether to leave alone this time, or to leave with his family.

The final decision depends on where the emperor plans to send him this time. If it is a place like Lingnan, Luo Yong will not dare to take the children in his family there. The miasma in the south is not a joke. It's not good, it will really kill people.

In the original history, even a young and strong man like Du Gou died of illness on the way to Lingnan, how dare Luo Yong take the children in his family to take risks.

The official document came down soon, and Luo Yong was a little thankful that the emperor didn't arrange for him to go to Lingnan, but this place didn't seem to be much better than Lingnan.

Changle County, Guazhou, Longyou Road, is further west than Liangzhou City, and the distance from there to Liangzhou is not much closer than the distance from Shi County to Liangzhou.

"The sage originally wanted Sanlang to go to Shannan Road, but he didn't want to, but was opposed by several ministers. They said that relegation at the door of the house is not a relegation. It is a long way to go to Guazhou. Please take care of Sanlang."

Not long after the people from the government came to deliver the official documents, the servant Xu from the palace also came to Luo's house.

Except for the few times when this servant Xu learned how to make cakes with Luo Yong, Luo Yong didn't have much contact with him after that. The saint asked him to come here today, which is not without comfort.

"As an official of the imperial court, but engaged in business affairs, it is against the policy of the court. It is a good thing that he was not dismissed. There will be no complaints. If he goes to Changle, he will definitely devote himself to it." Luo Yong said respectfully.

"It's best for Saburo to think like this. Although Changle County is located in a remote place, after you pass by, you will be a dignified county magistrate. If you can make some achievements, your promotion will be just around the corner."

Xu Neishi said these scenes, but his eyes were a little red. A person like Luo Yong who needs ability, ability, and moral character can't escape the end of being squeezed out of Beijing. In this winter, no I know how much cold and windy sand he has to endure along the way.

"Luo Sanlang take care."

"Secretary Xu, take care."

The two of them didn't talk for a long time in total. Xu Neishi completed the task assigned to him by the emperor, and Luo Yong also told him his plan, and then sent him outside the courtyard to watch him go up to the palace to make arrangements. The carriage that came over disappeared in the wind and snow not long after.

Luo Yong told Xu Neishi that he planned to leave his family in Chang'an City and go to the post alone.

These words were said to Xu Neishi, and naturally they were also said to the emperor.The reason why the emperor kept Luo Yong this time and refused to let him resign, Luo Yong guessed that he should have two intentions, one is to continue to use him, and the other, maybe he does not want to let the tiger go back to the mountain.

In any case, under the current circumstances, if Luo Yong took his disciple's family away from Chang'an City, it would be easy for people to suspect that he was dissatisfied and had the intention of defecting.

If they were kept in Chang'an City, as long as the emperor felt that Luo Yong was still useful, he would not let his family have any accidents, and as long as other people did not want to fight Luo Yong endlessly, they would not easily attack his family .

After several considerations, Luo Yong finally decided to keep them in Chang'an City, and he went to Changle County alone to take up his post.

But before leaving Chang'an City, Luo Yong still has one important thing to do.

On October [-]th, Luo Yong held a banquet in Ma's guest house, and invited various shops in Chang'an City that had business dealings with North and South groceries, as well as some acquainted merchants from Hedong Road, Guannei Road and other places.

On the day of the banquet, most of the people who received the invitation came to the banquet, but there were also a few who did not come. Luo Yong didn't care much, but asked his disciples to write down the names of the companies that did not come, so that they can be used later. Do not continue to communicate.

"You must have heard that Luo will leave Beijing soon."

"I invite you to come here today, not for other things, but for the north and south groceries."

"Since I am an official of the imperial court, it is not good for me to do business affairs. The reason why I was demoted this time is because of this."

"After much deliberation, Luo made a decision. I invite you to come here today because I want you to be my witnesses."

"Although this North and South groceries are listed under my disciple's name, they are actually the shop I use. I think you all know this well."

"Now I am fully committed to my official career. In order not to repeat the same mistakes in the future, I am determined to hand over this shop to my sister Luo Siniang, and I will not intervene in the future."

Although the law at this time in the early Tang Dynasty stipulated that the imperial court ordered officials not to engage in business, none of the gentry families had no property, and some families even had one or two offshoots specializing in business.

According to the law at this time, if the father was a merchant, the son could not take the imperial examination.If one of the brothers and sisters is a businessman, it does not affect Luo Yong's career as an official.

Although doing so may be speculative, it still makes sense, especially after Si Niang and the others get married in the future, in the eyes of outsiders, the relationship with Luo Yong will be even further away.

After Luo finished speaking, the hall immediately became a little noisy.

Luo Siniang is still a daughter at such a young age, how can she take on this important task?They have business dealings with North and South Grocery, and they are naturally related to interests. Many people said that Luo Yong's move was too hasty and opposed his approach.

"I invite you to come here today, not only to let you help to be a witness, but also to let you know that if you don't have confidence in our North and South groceries, please make plans early."

Luo Yong's actions today, his words will undoubtedly dampen morale and make some partners lose confidence in North and South groceries, but this is exactly what Luo Yong wants. He hopes that during the period when he is not in Chang'an City, Inside, sister's food shop and Nanbei groceries can keep a low profile as much as possible, and don't show too strong a posture.

Handing over the groceries from North and South to Siniang, plus his disciples in the shop, Luo Yong didn't feel that he needed to worry too much about business issues.

Luo Yong's only concern is their safety. It doesn't matter if the business is close, and it's not a big problem to make less money or even lose money, as long as the people are fine.

That girl of Si Niang was wearing the robe of a young gentleman today, she sat there with her lips pursed and said nothing, she looked very similar to that.

Ever since she heard the news that Luo Yong was demoted, this girl became much quieter.

In the past two days, Luo Yong told her about his decision, and told her that he would go to the post alone. It would take at least two or three years to leave, and the aunt was so busy, and the young ones in the family had to rely on four Mother take care of me more.

There is also the shop. Although Luo Yong's disciples can help with the operation, when faced with some decision-making issues, they often need their Luo family to make a decision. After all, it is Luo Yong's asset. Now Luo Yong transfers this asset to I gave it to Luo Siniang, and from now on, let her have the final say on matters in the shop.

Luo Siniang obviously also felt the responsibility and pressure, but what is rare is that she did not back down.

The little girl told Luo Yong solemnly that she would take good care of her younger brothers and sisters, and would also help him take care of the business in the store, so that Luo Yong should not worry about these things.

Luo Yong heard about it, but laughed: "Since this shop is given to you, it will be yours from now on. If it doesn't manage well, you will lose your money, but with my disciples around, it will be yours for a while. It's not easy for you to turn it yellow."

"How could I turn her yellow!"

"If you are undecided about something, you can ask sister."

"I can save it."

"I'm not in Beijing, so I'll bear with everything."

"Well……"

"If you can't solve it, maybe you can go and find the Bai family."

"Humph."

As soon as the Bai family was mentioned, Si Niang became a little angry. Fortunately, she thought that Bai Yimao and his family were quite big, but when her elder brother encountered such a thing this time, the Bai family did not help at all. superior.

"You don't want to be angry with them, those people clearly do their calculations without intention." Luo Yong sighed.

The Bai family father and son were dismissed in advance for those two days. When they reacted, the matter was already a foregone conclusion. In fact, even if they were in the court that day, they would not be able to change anything. It was nothing more than a few more words Just a fight.

This incident also dealt a great blow to the Bai family. Being able to be dismissed at such a critical moment and being completely kept in the dark shows that the Bai family has been completely squeezed out, and their current situation is not very good.

Before Luo Yong left Chang'an City, he also made a special trip to the Bai family. No matter how bad the situation of the Bai family was, when Luo Yong couldn't take care of them, it was still possible to help the brothers and sisters of the Luo family a little.

Luo Yong has a lot of contact with the Bai family, especially the second uncle Bai. He thinks that his vision of seeing people is not too bad. He can't even trust his judgment, so who can he trust?

I heard that the last time someone slandered Luo Yong as a lich, and the Bai family also argued for him. Luo Yong believed that the Bai family could still be trusted and communicated.

This time, in order to allow the Bai family to take care of Si Niang and the others when he was not in Chang'an City, and to bring the two families closer, Luo Yong decided to share a piece of news with them.

This news is about standing in line. Luo Yong told the Bai family that they should not stand up to Prince Li Chengqian, nor King Wei Litai.

"According to what Sanlang said, could it be..." The Bai family was very surprised by what Luo Yong revealed this time.

"I heard that the current situation of the Bai family is not optimistic, but the more they are in this situation, the more they must be calm. The situation in the court and China is changing rapidly. Gaining power and losing power are not entirely dependent on changes in the situation." Luo Yong smiled. Said.

……

After Luo Yong left, Second Uncle Bai had a secret conversation with his father and brother.

Standing in the court, the most popular nowadays is to stand in the next monarch's team. Today, the emperor and the eldest grandson empress have a total of three sons. The eldest son Li Chengqian, as the crown prince, naturally won the support of many people in the court. , the second son Li Tai is the king's favorite, and there are many people who are optimistic about him.

However, Luo Yong told them not to stand for Li Chengqian or Li Tai.

It is not the eldest son Li Chengqian, nor the second son Li Tai, so the only one left is the youngest son Li Zhi. I heard that Li Zhi is the most honest and honest, and the ranking is the youngest...

If things are really as Luo Sanlang said, then in the near future, there will be a large number of people capsized in the court.
