355. I heard that Doctor Sun often cried
Now, the wooden track from Gaochang City to Dunhuang has just started construction. Most of the one from Dunhuang to Changle County has been built. From Changle to Jinchang, the section from Changle to Jinchang has been put into use for a long time. The wooden track from Jinchang to Yiwu has also been opened earlier.
Although Yiwu also belongs to the Tang Dynasty, he is outside the pass after all. He goes to Yiwu City from Jinchang. It is not like in all parts of the Central Plains. There is an inn every thirty miles.
After the wooden track was paved this time, considering that the road was long and even if it was smooth, it would take at least three or four days to travel. Therefore, Yiwu set up several intermediate stations along the way for merchants and pedestrians to stay and rest, which was also convenient for the maintenance and management of this wooden track.
Later, when Guo Xiaoke took office, he heard about this, he decided to set up post stations in these places, because at that time, news that the Turks wanted to attack Yiwu was spread everywhere. Therefore, Yiwu did not show any rejection of the setting of these post stations.
Some of these inns are close to villages, with relatively better living conditions, and some are entirely from the Gobi desert, and all food and water sources are transported by rails. Inns like this are generally smaller in scale.
After this wooden track was opened, the connection between Yiwu and the Changle area in Jinchang immediately became closer. Because the traffic was very convenient, the transportation cost was much lower than in the past, and the travel was safer than before, so merchants made frequent exchanges.
The area of Changle County has developed well in recent years. The local people are already very active. Once this wooden track is opened, many vendors selling needles, wine, sauce, and various vendors who sell needles, wine, sauces, and they have heard that some people have joined relatives there and go to Yiwu to make tofu.
There were also merchants from Yiwu who came to Changle County to do business, mainly selling grain and iron, because they heard that the iron price in Changle County is much more expensive than in Yiwu.
There is also a large canned workshop in Changle County. The batch of white stacked cloth produced in the county last year was transported to Chang'an City for a good price, and then it was folded into a batch of Eucommia ulmoides and transported back.
There are dozens of cartons of these Eucommia ulmoides. If you don’t use them, you will use them as glue pads in canned jars. You can imagine how much meat can be made in Changle County this year.
When winter began, Luo Yong asked someone to buy mutton on a large scale, which was really like a bottomless pit, and it would cost as much as it would.
The workers in the workshop are all local rural farmers. They have registered their candidates before the winter begins, paid taxes after the autumn harvest, and packed their bags and went to the city to work in a few days. They have food and accommodation in charge, and the benefits are pretty good.
Because of this canned workshop, the local mutton in Changle County is not very cheap after the winter begins this year.
During that time, a wooden track in Yiwu was opened. Many herders there heard past merchants saying that the price of mutton in Changle County is high. There are cashmere workshops in this county to collect cashmere and canned workshops to collect mutton. The prices are very fair. So during that time, many herders drove the sheep to Changle County. If not, the price of mutton in Changle County would have been slightly higher this year.
"Where can I sell so much canned food?"
“…”
With so many canned foods, it is indeed a question.
However, Luo Yong was not very worried. No matter what, selling a cost price is always no problem, but he still wanted to make more money, and it would be best to make back the money for the canal.
Now he doesn't want anything else, he just hopes that the wooden tracks will be built in these surrounding areas. The more developed the transportation, the wider the market will be.
At the food shop, everyone talked about the cowpox again.
"Now, cowpox is grown in Kucha Yanqi and other places."
"Since this method was implemented, I have never heard of anyone who died of acne."
"Then the magic doctor Sun is really an immortal who descends to earth!"
"I heard he is old."
"What's wrong with Dr. Sun now?"
"I don't know."
“…”
"I have heard some of the words that are a disciple of his family and humanity. Master has been crying recently."
"Why is Dr. Sun crying?"
"I don't know..."
