Chapter 964: How difficult it is to start a business in ancient times

On this year's Dragon Boat Festival, the emperor spent it on the way to Chang'an.

And Luo Cunxiao's Dragon Boat Festival was passed on the way to Lijiang, Yunnan to seal the country, and on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, he just walked to Xiangyang City.

For Xiangyang, the ancestral homeland, he actually has no feelings.

However, on the same day, under the leadership of local officials, I deliberately went to the village where my grandfather Luo Rong once was. Luo Rong's small courtyard had long been destroyed in the war, but now another house has been built on the same place, and it is said that it has been completely restored to its original state.

The ancestral tomb of the Luo family, which was poor back then, did not even have a tablet, just a small bag of soil that could not remember the name and identity, and all of them were verified by the local government one by one, and then the mausoleum was rebuilt.

Walking on this land, Cunxiao can imagine what the situation of his grandfather Luo Rong was and how determined he was. This is actually the same as their brothers, and when they were in Zhangqiu, they were not much better than here.

The world is chaotic, life is difficult, as an ordinary farmer, if you want to get ahead, there is no other way except to be a soldier and fight hard.

Fortunately, Luo Rong spelled it out, and their brothers also spelled it out.

Luo Rong followed Yang Zhong and Yang Jian's father and son, fought for them, and finally won the title of a county duke.

And their brothers fought the country by themselves, and finally came out with a true dragon son.

Now, he is going to Yunnan to establish his kingdom there.

I visited the ancestral house, worshiped the Luo clan ancestral hall, and was about to return to the city, but many people surrounded me.

According to the official, these people are members of the local Luo clan, and they are actually members of the Luo family.

"I remember my father once told me that my grandfather went to serve as a soldier, and then left Xiangyang with Yang Zhong, and there was no news, at that time my grandmother took my father's orphans and widows very hard, but the people in the village not only did not help their mother and son, but took the opportunity to occupy the little land and house that my grandfather had placed when he was a soldier, forcing their mother and son to live in a grass hut outside. Later, I couldn't bear it anymore, my grandmother took my father to remarry, otherwise, my father would have starved to death, and I couldn't wait for my grandfather to send someone back to pick him up and go to Chang'an. ”

Cunxiao's words, the officials who said it were very embarrassed.

And those Luo family members who originally heard that King Wei was back and wanted to follow some light and ask for an official reward, they couldn't help but feel ashamed when they heard it.

Although the poor are kinder, sometimes, the poor are more powerful.

Whenever kindness and snobbery are intertwined, these contradictory sides are intertwined.

There will be people who will help and pull, and there will also be people who will be desperate.

At that time, the Luo family, in the eyes of the clansmen, became a desperate family, and they all thought that Luo Rong must have died outside, after all, it was very dangerous to be a soldier in those years, and there was often no news when he died.

Back then, Father Luo suffered a lot, and he was cold and hungry at a young age, so although he went to Chang'an later, he didn't remember these clansmen in his hometown.

And because Luo Rong knew about the sins suffered by his wife and children at home, he completely cut off contact with his old family. Even if there are cheeky people who go to Chang'an to find him, Luo Rong doesn't pay much attention to it, at most he will give him a little back and forth, but he will never arrange anything for them.

The Luo clan people thought that in this generation, Luo Cheng became the emperor, and Luo Cheng's brother King Wei would not have any resentment towards them, but who knows, but they still touched their noses.

"That's it, those things back then, my grandfather held a grudge, my father was worried, but for our brothers, this is the grievance of the elder generation, and now I Luo Cunxiao also has to be crowned by the emperor, this time I passed through Xiangyang, just to go to Yunnan to seal the country. As for you, no matter what, you are also members of the Luo clan, in terms of generation, some are my uncles, some are my uncles, some are my brothers, and some are my nephews, after all, they are also a family. ”

"If you want to get out of this small mountain village and want to go outside, you can consider it and follow me to seal the country. When I get there, the Emperor of Heaven is far away, and the only people I can trust are you clansmen who are related by blood. ”

Cunxiao's previous coldness made the Luo clan people already feel hopeless, but when they heard this at this time, they couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Although it is different from what was expected, if you go to the Yunnan fiefdom with this sect king, it seems to be stronger than now. Their ancestors have been in this small mountain village for generations, and for hundreds of years, there has been a Luo Rong.

·······

Luo Cunxiao's entourage, so more than a dozen families of the Luo clan in Xiangyang were added, although many people were tempted and wanted to go to Cunxiao to seal the country to do things, but they were afraid that Yunnan Road was far away, so in the end, only a dozen families gritted their teeth and decided to gamble.

They packed their simple luggage and set off with the group.

The fourth child rode on his horse and looked at the team behind him, a little lost.

He recruited people everywhere in Henan, but the truth was more cruel than he imagined, although he offered a lot of favorable conditions, but still not many people were willing to go.

Many people would rather go to Xihai, where they have an inheritance, than to Lijiang, where filial piety is kept.

In the end, there was no way, he couldn't recruit anyone, and he couldn't pick it, so he didn't care if he was a crooked melon or a cracked jujube, whether he had been a scoundrel or a dry ruffian before, or whether he had been a thief or a bandit, or whether he had been a slave or something, even if he was old or sick, as long as he was willing to go, filial piety was welcome.

"What are you laughing at?"

Cun Xiaoyi turned his head and found that Li Xiaogong, who was assigned to him by the emperor, actually had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't help but get angry.

"I just suddenly felt that a group of people like us ran to Lijiang in the south of the colorful clouds, and I don't know what the scene would be. Perhaps, if we don't arrive in Lijiang, we will be served by Wuman. ”

"Hmph, my mother is still gloating, Lao Tzu told you, you are now assigned to my Lijiang country, and you will not be allowed to leave in the future, and you will be in the hands of Lao Tzu for the rest of your life. From now on, we are grasshoppers on a rope, what are you happy about? ”

Li Xiaogong sighed, how could he be happy.

As a disciple of Guan Long's general, he played a small battle to learn the art of war, and at the time of the Sui Rebellion, although he did not command the army for a long time, he also fought a few tough battles, but his failure was not because of his lack of ability, it can only be said that the time is also powerful.

Li Yuan's army was defeated and the country was destroyed, and they, the children of the Li family, also had to bear the shackles.

The former king of the clan has the same identity as Luo Cunxiao, but now Luo Cunxiao is still the king of the clan, and he even got the real seal to open the country, and is going to the fief to become a vassal country.

And he, Li Xiaogong, can only become a long-term exile of Luo Cunxiao, and he can only be a guilty official of Luo Cunxiao Lijiang Country for the rest of his life.
