In fact, in the past few years, in the area of ​​Guannei Road, many people have flowed to the south every year.

However, this phenomenon is more obvious in some towns. First, it is more informed, and second, many city people do not have land at all, so there is no need to worry about the issue of household registration.

On this cement road across the Guannei Road, merchants traveled every day. Especially since the beginning of autumn, a large number of cashmere and umam-fat soaps were transported from Guannei Road to Chang'an and other places through this road.

The cement road leading from Dinghu County to Chang'an City is more prosperous and lively, especially after passing through Luliang Mountain, the section of road south of Fenzhou Xicheng.

Fenzhou gathered a large number of pedestrians and cargoes from Taiyuan Prefecture and from the direction of Dinghu. Not only cement roads, but also water transportation. After the bulk cargo arrived in Fenzhou, you can hire a ship to go south here. There are many boats going south on the Fen River every day. Some boats are like the Wei River after they arrive in the south. Some go to Chang'an City, and some continue to go south along the Yellow River.

Water transportation can greatly reduce transportation costs, from upstream to downstream, just go downstream.

A large amount of northern goods flowed into Chang'an and other places. In Xinfeng Market east of Chang'an City, it is more prosperous year by year. It was originally just gathering some merchants from the north to buy goods in winter. Now there are many merchants in this place all year round, not only the merchants of Chang'an City, but also heard that the aristocratic families in Wulingyuan also often send their families to Xinfeng to buy goods.

After winter this year, many people in Hedong drove their own ox carts and donkey carts along the cement road to Xinfeng Market, just like in previous years.

At the end of October, light snow fell on many places on Hedong Road. On this cement road that stretched for thousands of miles, countless pedestrians and cargo were slowly moving to the south. Most of the cargo was baled with oil paper straw. The wooden carts made a squeak when they moved forward...

Luo Siniang went to Xinfeng Market with two managers from Ajie's food shop in the past two days to buy goods. Wulang and Liulang were both going to study, so she brought Qi Niang out this time.

Qi Niang is ten years old this year. She can’t keep her at home all day and often takes her out to see the world.

When Si Niang was so old, Luo Yong dared to ask her to check out the grocery store. Given the current situation of the Luo family, that small countryside shop was naturally nothing, but for the Luo family at that time, it was a shop that could support the family.

Si Niang used to think that her brother was really unreliable, but now it seems that she has made a mistake.

Because Si Niang often went to Bai Mansion to attend classes with the Bai family's children, she got quite close to the young men and ladies of the Bai family.

The Bai family also attaches great importance to education for the next generation. From classics, history, literature and literature to behavior and even bathhouse strategies, there is nothing that is not taught. Riding a horse and drawing a bow is a compulsory practice. At a young age, one by one, he has a very scribe-like style. Compared with the children of ordinary people, he can almost be called a dragon and a phoenix among people.

However, these dragons and phoenixes can now be considered young dragons and phoenixes at most, and they cannot withstand anything.

One thing that impressed Si Niang was that this summer, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old young man in the Bai Mansion broke a inkstone in the study. He was panicked at the time, fearing that his elders would blame him.

To put it bluntly, it is just a valuable inkstone, not a superb treasure. If it were in the Luo family, Luo Siniang only needed to explain the whole story to her brother. Luo Yongdao would not blame him because he knew that Siniang cherished the objects at home very much, and this situation must be an accident.

In another case, if Si Niang destroys the inkstone of the Bai family, she will definitely pay for it. No matter what the elders of the Bai family say, she will buy a new one. She can always make money again when the money is gone. Even if she can't make it back for a while, she will admit it. Why should she panic?

The young man from the Bai family was uneasy for most of the day because of this inkstone.

This is still in their own home, and it is just an inkstone. What if it was replaced outside, what if something more serious than breaking it?

The Bai family has rich knowledge and is also very educated to young children, but Luo Siniang does not want her brothers and sisters to become people like the Bai family’s young man.

She had to let the following little ones see more and learn to make their own decisions in everything. Now that my brothers and sisters are no longer around, Si Niang is the oldest among them, so she has to do these things.

"There are many people in Xinfeng Market. Don't run around when you get there. If someone sells it a little, I won't be able to find you." Si Niang told Qi Niang in this way on the carriage.

"Oh." Qi Niang didn't know if she heard this, so she just kept chewing on snacks. She was in her teens and was a long time to get a long strip. In addition, the weather has become cold recently, and these brothers and sisters in their family are in similar situations, and they always want to eat all day long.

"At this time, I ate so much cake. When I arrived at the market, I saw what else you could eat?" Si Niang felt sad when she looked at her heartless look.

Other people's little ladies knew how to dress up when they were in their teens, and the girl was about to start learning. Let's look at their own home. What else do you know besides eating?

"Sister, how delicious are there in Xinfeng Market?"

"You can have even a good meal, just keep your stomach."

“Is there any canned food?”

“Not only cans, but also fresh tangerines and pomelos.”

"Then do you want to buy these this time?"

"I'll buy cloth."

"Buy tangerines too!"

"If you don't buy it, you can buy it yourself if you want to eat it."

"I don't have money."

"I don't know how to earn money by myself, so I go to the grocery store to work."

"Sister..."

“Not buying.”

"Sister..."

“Not buying.”

“…”

He said he would not buy it. When he arrived at Xinfeng Market, Luo Siniang still led Qi Niang to buy places where he bought southern specialties.

Among the baskets of tangerines, yellow and orange, among the merchants selling tangerines, someone knew Luo Siniang. Even if someone brought his own tangerines to her, he asked her to taste them. Yan was a batch of goods that he had just arrived last night and had not been picked up by others. If the groceries in the north and south were willing to collect, he would lower the price.

Si Niang peeled a tangerine to eat, ate half of it herself, and handed the remaining half to Qi Niang. Qi Niang took the half of the orange, so happy that she couldn't see her teeth.

"It's quite sweet, I want to see the goods."

"My wife, please, there are not many goods in this batch, but the best Huainan tangerines. When shipped, five or six cars will be shipped to us. After they are shipped, there will be less than three cars left. I have picked up the good ones..."

Si Niang had seen these cars of tangerines, asked the price, and carefully checked and confirmed that there was no problem. She quickly decided to buy this batch of goods.

The guy who came with them had already gone to rent the yard at this time. The goods they bought were kept there in the past two days, and they were all bought until the end, and then they hired a ox cart to transport them back to Chang'an City.

"Sister, why didn't you negotiate with the merchant just now?" After leaving the place where tangerines were sold, Qi Niang had a few tangerines in her arms, and she peeled them all the way, which was very comfortable.

"His tangerines are not expensive, so I will negotiate with him." Si Niang replied: "We should always ask others to make some money, and we will only think of us when there are good goods next time."

"Then how do you know he is not expensive?" Qi Niang asked again.

Si Niang looked at this foodie and wanted to yell at her in the street: Are you pretending to be food in your head?

I thought about it and let it go. Brother Ah is not around, so she can only teach this idiot herself.

"Of course I've inquired in advance. We have so many groceries in the north and south, so it's not easy to find out some news. You have to understand everything in advance so that you can have a clear idea."

After saying this, Luo Siniang felt that her temper was much better now, and it was still very useful to go to the Bai family to take classes more. Even if the content in the books was not used for a while, it would be very good to cultivate one's own character.

"Sister."

"What to do?"

"Look, there is a cake buyer over there. The brand says, "It's from Luoyang, Peony Flower Cake."

“…”

Luo Siniang turned around and left.

"Sister..." Qi Niang hurriedly followed, muttering something peony flower cake.

"..." Si Niang gave her a look and let her experience it for herself.

"Go and buy cloth." Qi Niang murmured, and then quietly became a follower.

You can't blame her for being cowardly. Who is Luo Siniang? Those young ladies who are usually very powerful in Chang'an City will take a detour when they see her.

I heard that there were a few young ladies in Chang'an City who originally liked their brother Luo Yong's character, but this sister-in-law was so powerful that she gave up after thinking about it.

"Ah Yeh!" Luo, who was abandoned by the Chang'an girls because his girl was too powerful, was blowing a cold wind on the walls in Longxi at this time.

Two days ago, a group of Gaochang merchants came to Le County, all of whom came to buy wine and needles, and also brought Luo Yong a message that the day they left Gaochang, a big food caravan happened to arrive in Gaochang.

The reason why they said this was just to sigh at Luo Yong's spirit of the great merchants who wanted money but not life. The speakers were unintentional and the listeners were intentional, but Luo Yong was quite concerned about this matter.

"But I brought Kunlun slaves?" Luo Yong asked them.

"Not." said the Gaochang merchants.

In the next few days, Luo Yong had to climb the wall to look at him if he had anything to do. Someone asked him if he was waiting for Apu to come back, but he said no.

It was such a long journey from the Tang Dynasty to Apu and his hometown, and they were not Hu Shang, who was familiar with business roads, so they didn’t know how many situations they would encounter or how many more detours they would take along the way. It would take a year to make a round trip. The possibility was too low.

On the sixth day of November, Luo Yong had just woken up and county magistrate Guo Fenglai told him something.

——The big cannibal Hassan is here again. Their caravan arrived in Changle County last night. Although it was curfew time, there was no problem with their documents. The winter night was cold, so Guo Feng came and asked someone to let them in.

Later, I heard about some things that happened when Hassan and others were in Changle County last year, so Guo Feng came to report this incident to Luo Yong early in the morning.

"Be more careful about these big cannibals?" After all, there were conflicts before.
