North and South groceries

Although the words of the small official from the Ministry of Industry were not credible, it still made Luo Yong smell that someone was secretly trying to move.

Sure enough, at the beginning of February, a news suddenly spread in the city of Chang'an, saying that all the twelve young men who were arranged by Luo Yong to go to the Western Regions were all killed by the barbarians in the Western Regions, and all twelve heads were neatly laid out like that. Hanging on the walls of other people's houses.

Although it was groundless, when Luo Yong heard this statement for the first time, he couldn't help feeling suffocated.

Not long after, someone made a fuss at the county lord's mansion, asking Luo Yong to pay for their family's son, and asking Luo Yong to pay for his life!

There were even people who made trouble at places like Nanbei Grocery Store and Ajie Food Shop, which damaged some goods and affected the shop's business. In order to avoid intensifying conflicts, Du Gou and the others did not arrest the troublemakers, but only drank and persuaded them to let them go. It's all right for those of them to retreat, Luo Yong also agrees with how to deal with this.

Nowadays, many people are saying that it is really inappropriate for Luo Yong to arrange those young men to go to the Western Regions.

Some people stand up to defend Luo Yong, and those people say that they are just discussing the facts, and one yardstick is one yardstick.It was as if Luo Yong had done everything he deserved for the people of Chang'an and the people of the world, and there was no kindness or anything like that.

Many people in the court also criticized Luo Yong for this. Originally, there were many conservative officials in this court. In their view, guarding the Central Plains is the only thing they should do. It is serious. Any strategy to spread the culture of the Western Regions is too much to do and unrealistic, and it will waste money and benefit the people.

Not to mention that there are so many people who don't like Luo Yong, and they will inevitably jump up and step on him at this time. If there are those who are so ruthless, I really want to trample him to death.

Nowadays, there are many voices who say that Luo Yong should be dismissed and let him go back to his hometown to hone his character.

"What kind of suffering do I need to see? I am here from it." Luo Yong was no longer as polite as he was to the common people in the court, and turned back if he wanted to.

On the contrary, many people spoke for Luo Yong. After all, there is no evidence for this matter. It is just that a student from Changle College wrote a letter and said so. His family is writing the contents of that letter to As soon as rumors spread outside, the matter got out of hand.

Luo Yong is also waiting for news from Changle County as to why.Besides Luo Yong, there were many people waiting. Hou Lin's complexion was sallow these past two days, with two dark circles hanging on his face, he seemed to be a bit old.

However, those who criticize Luo Yong will not wait for any real news, they just want to take this opportunity to pull Luo Yong down.

This is the way of the world, and there has not been much change throughout the ages. It does not mean that as long as you have the world in your heart and do your best, everyone in the world will love you, respect you and protect you.

Luo Yong has always understood this truth very well, but when things come to an end, it is inevitable that he still feels a little chilled.Especially when he heard those ordinary people, after hearing the impassioned speeches of a few gentlemen, they also began to hear what other people said, dragging the truth that they didn't understand very well, criticizing Luo Yong for being eager for quick success, young, and acting wisely. Inappropriate, and so on.

In fact, what is appropriate or not is appropriate, but it is a personal choice.

Those gentlemen were not valued in the Central Plains, so it was difficult for them to develop, and they were unwilling to live a mediocre life. Under Luo Yong's proposal and organization, they decided to go to the Western Regions to fight for it. What's wrong with that?

The intention of the troublemakers was probably to ask Luo Yong to lose money, but they didn't say it clearly, but their turmoil all day would definitely affect the business of the Luo family's shops, and in the end it would be nothing more than a loss of money to eliminate the disaster.

There are also those families who are silent, Luo Yong also sent people to their homes to talk about it, and when the news from Changle County comes, he will notify them as soon as possible.

"Why isn't Sanlang still asleep?" That night, when Hou Lin came back from the wine shop, he saw Luo Yong sitting under the eaves of the hall pouring himself a drink, so he walked to the open space in front of the corridor, raised his head and said to him. A few words.

"I'm going to sleep now." Luo Yong agreed.

"Sanlang don't need to worry." Hou Lin persuaded him instead: "Junlin and the others must be fine, Ting Hengzhi told me that the student who wrote the letter was going to the Western Regions, and you were taken out of the list later. That guy must be holding a grudge, so he wrote such a letter back, intending to make a bad impression on you."

"I also know." Luo Yong swallowed a sip of sake, raised the corners of his lips, and said to Hou Lin, "Dr. Hou should also go to bed earlier, I will rest after I finish these two mouthfuls."

"..." Hou Lin sighed, after thinking about it, he didn't say anything more, turned around and went to the backyard.

Whether it is Hou Lin or Luo Yong, they can probably guess that this matter is probably false, but it is just a rumor.

However, in this era when transportation is underdeveloped and information is difficult to circulate, it is too vicious to spread rumors that young people from other families died in a foreign land and their heads were hung on the barbarian city wall.

It is said that after hearing the news, the young wife of a young man hanged herself that night. Fortunately, she found out early and rescued the general, who is now bedridden.

Luo used this day to go to the court, and when he entered the main hall, he saw several colleagues talking together, looking at him from time to time, always with some inquiry and judgment.

Suddenly, he felt a little lonely in his heart.

He used to read history books and saw those people in history who were dedicated to the country and cared about the common people, but they ended up dismal. At that time, he felt very wronged for those people.

Now that a similar situation happened to him, it was not too unfair, it was always like this in this world, he knew it early on, when he decided to do something, to make himself such a person, he had already expected that it would happen With the situation in front of me, I also know the possibility of a disastrous end.

So there is not much injustice, it is just a bit lonely...

Fortunately, the current Chao Gang is not very corrupt, there are still a lot of iron bones in this court hall, some people want to use a rumor to clear Luo Yong out of Chang'an City again, but they can't do it no matter what.

Furthermore, last year Luo used them to promote biogas lamps in Chang'an County, and many people in Wannian County were very jealous.

Wannian county magistrate these days has claimed that he is old and weak, and wants to resign. After him, who will be elected as the next Wannian county magistrate? After all, he is the county magistrate in Chang'an City, not a small remote county, and he always has to discuss things at the court.

On the contrary, some people recommended some candidates, but most of them are not suitable, or they are too young to suppress the scene. There are many big families living in Wannian County, and there are many domineering people among them, so it is not easy to get along with them.

Either the aptitude is too mediocre to be too sparse to do anything practical. This time, this official was elected to promote biogas digesters in Wannian County. Although the court is still stingy with money, I am afraid that this matter cannot be delayed any longer. up.

In the end, after all, many people still think that only Luo Yong is the most suitable. After all, he is the most experienced in promoting biogas digesters. Although he is still young, in the name of Luo Coffin Board, there is nothing he dare not dare to suppress. , I can't hold back.

"Good, let Luo Aiqing concurrently serve as Wannian county magistrate." The emperor reached out and pressed his forehead, his blood pressure seemed to be a little high again.

These days, because of a rumor, many people in the court took advantage of it, and some of them objected to the court's intention to put too much money and troops in the west. On the surface, they were criticizing Luo Yong, but in fact they were opposing the emperor. some political opinions.

Although the current saint is not very old, he is not in good health, and now he is getting more and more angry. In order to protect himself, he did not end this time to express his opinion, and only let Luo Yong carry it in front of him alone.

Now some people suggested that Luo Yong should also serve as Wannian county magistrate, and the emperor also thought this proposal was good. There was probably no more suitable candidate than Luo Yong.

As soon as he said these words, there was an explosion in the hall immediately. Some people have been thinking about how to get rid of Luo Yong for the past two days. How could they agree to the position of Ling Ling!

In the midst of the uproar, the emperor said something to the eunuch beside him, and then slowly left the hall with the support of the eunuch.

The hall was too noisy, and no one could hear what the emperor said at that time, but most of them could tell that he was probably feeling unwell.

After the sage left, several ministers of the court also left the hall one after another, and Luo Yong also got up and left.

As for what those people behind him want to say, let him go.
