The driving role of infrastructure is very powerful.

Although the construction of academies in Chang'an City is different from the driving role of the "Iron Rooster" in later generations, it is essentially the same.

Not only Ayina can feel this change, but so can other families.

"Brother Guo, the production capacity in my workshop is a little tight this month, can you lend me a batch of cement in your warehouse first, and I will return it to you with interest in a few months."

In the middle of Wuhe, Deng Feng and Guo Yang found a private room, and talked about things while eating.

Although the ancients paid attention to food and did not say anything, but among the restaurants, it is most convenient to talk about things, and naturally not so many people abide by this rule.

"Brother Deng, it's a coincidence! You don't mention this stubble, I still want to discuss with you, can I resell tens of thousands of catties of cement to me, and I will buy it at a price that will increase by 10% on the basis of your past selling price. What do you think? ”

Deng Feng and Guo Yang were both timber merchants from Xiangyang, and when cement appeared, the demand for timber in Chang'an City fell sharply.

Especially the kind of giant wood that can be used to make pillars, in the construction of Daming Palace, almost none of them were used, which made them hemorrhage a lot back then.

If it weren't for the fact that when Wang Fugui sold cement technology later, he did not restrict Deng Feng and Guo Yang from joining, and the two of them estimated that they would not have been able to wait for the day when the timber market recovered.

However, the so-called blessings and blessings depend on blessings and misfortunes.

After overcoming this difficulty, they successfully entered the cement industry.

Although it did not completely catch up with the construction of Daming Palace, the subsequent laying of various cement roads also made them a lot of money.

Moreover, after years of promotion, the people's acceptance of cement has also improved a lot.

Many people buy some cement when they build or renovate their houses.

Unconsciously, Deng Feng and Guo Yang actually became the top cement workshop merchants in Chang'an City.

"Brother Guo, I'm not joking, I'm serious!"

Deng Feng felt that Guo Yang was deliberately interrupting there, and his face became a little unhappy.

"Brother Deng, I didn't lie to you, I'm really serious. My cement workshop has always been child-friendly and has won the love of many customers. Especially during this time, a large number of orders were received at once, and the demand for a month was as high as that of last year. You don't know that in order to meet these orders, my workshop is now non-stop all day long, even in the middle of the night, and it is produced there with whale oil candles. ”

Guo Yang's face showed a hint of self-satisfaction.

His own cement workshop and Deng Feng's cement workshop have always been half a catty and eight taels, and the scale is comparable.

Now that he has got so many orders at once, after this year, he will definitely be able to leave Deng Feng behind.

"Your workshop has also received a large number of cement orders?"

Deng Feng reacted a little now.

It seems that not only the business of his own workshop has improved, nor that the sales level of his own guys has risen, but the demand for cement in this market has risen.

"That's right, I'll tell you the truth, I've also analyzed the situation in the past few days. Nowadays, more than a dozen academies are being built in Chang'an City, and the scale is not small. However, the construction period of these academies was very rushed, and the demand for cement exploded all of a sudden, and the output of my workshop could not be met for a while. Even the fastest expansion will take several months. ”

Guo Yang was a little annoyed in his heart, why didn't he expand the scale in advance.

Otherwise, by taking this opportunity, his own workshop is expected to become one of the best cement workshops in Chang'an City.

"This is a man sitting at home, and money comes from heaven. I tried to raise the price of cement by 10% yesterday, but many people still took the silver ticket and placed the order in advance. Come on, let's stop wasting time here, let's go back and arrange for someone to increase production. Only by increasing the production capacity can we make more money, otherwise we will let others take the lead. ”

"That's right. Datang is not the only one with cement workshops in Chang'an, as long as the price of cement here rises to a certain level, it becomes profitable to transport cement from other places. We can't give the market in Chang'an City to those merchants from other places. ”

Both realized that it was impossible to obtain even a pound of cement from each other, and they strengthened their confidence in increasing production.

In the past few years, the increase in production of cement workshops has not been missed, and they believe that this time is no exception.

"Ladies and gentlemen, so that everyone knows, what is called keeping pace with the times, today I, Guo Yunhe, will tell you a story related to the hottest things in Chang'an City recently."

In Ajinomoto, Guo Yunhe's storytelling reputation has caught up with Guo Dezhi of Wuheju.

The master and apprentice are now the most famous storytellers in Chang'an City, and some regular audiences go to Ajinomoto or Wuheju to dine every day in order to listen to their storytelling.

Anyway, for the wealthy, no matter how expensive the dishes of Ajinomoto and Wuheju are, it's just like that.

"It is said that His Royal Highness the King of Chu felt that the number of scholars today is still too small, and the proportion of ordinary people who are literate and hyphenated is too low, so he specially proposed to His Majesty to establish a Ministry of Education, and also proposed that the Ministry of Household allocate 10% of the annual tax revenue to the Ministry of Education as education funds, and support the construction of various academies, primary schools and Mongolian ......schools in various states and counties in the Tang Dynasty."

Guo Yunhe was able to catch up with his master in fame in just one year, and the most important thing is that the content of his storytelling can always be combined with the latest current affairs in a timely manner.

This is true of all the paragraphs related to cotton that were compiled at the beginning, and what we say today is no exception.

"All the guest officials must also know very well that before this year, the main academies in Chang'an City were Guanshishan Academy, Weishui Academy, Qujiang Academy and Guozijian, but less than two months have passed in the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, and the number of academies in Chang'an City has exceeded fifteen, and it is said that it will soon exceed twenty."

"The construction of this academy, out of the family of people who are in elementary school, most of them feel that it has nothing to do with them, at least not in a short period of time? Is that really the case? ”

Guo Yunhe is very good at mobilizing everyone's emotions.

In just a few minutes, many diners eating at the Ajinomoto lobby focused their attention on him.

"Actually, in my opinion, the construction of this academy is actually related to each and every one of us. Speaking of which, who doesn't have juniors, don't they all want to read more? To put it mildly, the construction of many academies has made the employment of Chang'an City nervous. This is a good thing for people who are looking for a job, and their wages are hopefully rising; But for those who need to hire people to do the work, they feel that they have to spend more money out of thin air......"

Guo Dezhi, as one of the most famous storytellers in Chang'an City, has the same content as Guo Dezhi's at the beginning, and it is the object of many storytellers in other wine shops to learn from and imitate.

Coupled with the establishment of the Ministry of Education, Yicheng tax investment, the construction of academies and other contents were originally the focus of the attention of the people of Chang'an City, and now coupled with the propaganda of the storyteller, as well as relevant news in various newspapers every day, these series of things have immediately become the headlines of Chang'an City for many days recently.
