North and South groceries

In fact, not only Hengzhi's "A Brief Analysis of Mechanics", but also several other booklets are also very valuable.

Technology is something that needs to be communicated openly, and then the wisdom of more people can be gathered to improve and upgrade it, in order to make progress to a greater extent.

However, technology often also means wealth, and even the basis for craftsmen to live and work. As for sorting out and disclosing these technologies, no one was able or willing to do this in the past. Even if they did, they would not have much merit. He is lowly, and his skills and ingenuity are not highly regarded.

This time, it was Luo who used a few technologies on hand as bait to make this engineering study possible and these books compiled.

In order for their own people to gain recognition in engineering and occupy a favorable position, those big families also invested some capital this time, and took out some technologies they mastered to compile the first batch of teaching materials.

To be honest, it was the first time that even the emperor, who was the Ninth Five-Year Lord, had seen many technologies in it.

With the publication of these books, many people in the court also felt that this Luo Yong seemed to set off a wave. I don't know what kind of wave this wave will bring in this world and in this court. Is the change beneficial to them personally and their family, or will it bring any impact and hidden dangers?

But judging from the current situation, no one is likely to be able to stop this wave. The major families have already entered the water one after another. No one is willing to let go of the new technology about heat energy.

In other words, since Luo Yong returned to Chang'an City, he was either busy taking over the post of Chang'an county magistrate, or he was busy with engineering and study.

Erniang and Siniang are very close, Hengzhi and Azhi also live with them, Hengzhi is also busy with engineering work recently, Azhi is with Erniang and the others.

If they have nothing to do on weekdays, sometimes they will go to the north and south groceries where Si Niang and the others work, and sometimes go to the elder sister's restaurant at the aunt's side. A few young women sit together and gossip. Had a good time.

Wu Lang and the others were not so lucky, and they didn't have any serious business to do now, so Luo Yong told them to go to Bai's house to attend classes.

The Bai family disciplined the children in the clan very strictly, and the schoolwork was also heavy, which made Goro and the others miserable every day, watching the sisters idle and happy, but they only had to study obediently.

In fact, Erniang and the others also had time to work, but these little ones didn't see it.

Erniang planned to set up a face towel workshop in Chang'an City, and the place was decided. It was in Dunyifang, a little bit further from Datongfang.

On this day, the aunt invited the second mother to go to Xinfeng Market to look at the goods, and planned to go there to see the white flowers.

In the early years, Xinfeng Market mainly sold some grain and local products, and it was only lively in winter, and the other seasons were relatively sluggish.

Now there are everything there, and it is very lively all year round, especially the trading of some bulk goods, such as grain, livestock, refined iron, coal, etc., you don't need to go to Chang'an City, you can do it directly in Xinfeng Market Many merchants from Tongguan and Luoyang also went to this market to buy goods.

In the past two days, my aunt heard that a batch of white stacked flowers came from Guannei Road, the quantity was quite large, and the asking price was not very high, so she told Er Niang that the two sisters planned to go and have a look together.

The accompanying drivers were all women from Da Niang's shop. They were in charge of purchasing and often went to Xinfeng Market to buy goods, so they happened to go together today.

In the second month of the lunar calendar, the weather has been getting warmer and warmer day by day. At this time, the charming lady has already changed her jacket and put on a thin shirt.

There are a lot of pedestrians and vehicles on the street, and there are groups of children playing and playing on the side of the street.

"Since the introduction of the vaccinia method, there have been more and more children in Chang'an City." The aunt looked at the children on the street with a smile, and said to Er Niang.

"Is Fei'er planted?" Er Niang asked.

"It was planted early in the morning, so there is no one who doesn't." The aunt said: "The children in Changle County want to plant it?"

"They have to be planted." Erniang also said, "It's just that the place over there is small and there are few people. Sometimes if it's unlucky and you don't meet the pox, you have to wait."

"There are a lot of people here in Chang'an. You don't need to wait. You can plant them when you go there. Earlier, you had to charge three to five cents. Later, a censor said this in the court. It is said that some families are poor. The short-sighted parents actually refused to vaccinate their children in order to save the thirty-five cents. They said that the pox is not a rare thing, so why bother to earn the thirty-five cents of the common people... So they stopped accepting it later. money."

The two sisters were sitting in the carriage, and the aunt told Erniang about the cowpox vaccination in Chang'an City.

"The censor is a good one." Erniang said after hearing this.

"There are good ones and some bad ones. In short, those censors have to say everything and take care of everything. They even take care of the emperor's affairs. They have also mentioned my two restaurants several times." Ma'am laughed.

"Why do you even have to say this?" Er Niang asked in surprise.

"What's the matter, they are very lenient. In the last summer, an official's wife was walking on the street wearing a half-sleeved jacket. The next morning, the imperial censor impeached the official." The aunt said this. It's not surprising at all.

"Really?" Er Niang asked in surprise, she even cared about what other people's family members wore?

"nature."

"In Changle County, the weather is hot in summer, and sometimes you can see women wearing half-sleeves."

"There are many people here in Chang'an, and they can't control ordinary people. They just stare at those officials' families and tear them apart."

"Then we don't have to wear half sleeves in summer." Erniang thought for a while and said.After all, Luo Yong is also an official now, so he is afraid that he will also be targeted by those censors.

"Most of the women in my shop don't wear half-sleeves, just to avoid disputes." The aunt sighed.

"How hot is the summer in Chang'an City?"

"It's hot, and you'll know then."

"How hot is it?"

"It's so hot that you have nowhere to hide, you can't stay on the ground, and you want to go into the icehouse of Siniang and the others."

Hearing her exaggeration, Er Niang couldn't help laughing, she only thought that her elder sister was teasing her, and didn't think much about it.

They grew up in Xipo Village, Lishi County, where the terrain is high and forested, so as long as they don't bask in the sun in summer, they won't get too hot.

Erniang went to Hexi again these years, and the climate in Hexi is very dry, how could she imagine how hot and sweltering this summer in Chang'an City would be.
