Chapter 186: Economy
A change in one place cannot be hidden from the eyes of others.
Even in the Han Dynasty, where transportation was inconvenient, during this period of time, the changes in Lulong County gradually radiated to the surrounding areas.
In particular, the displaced people in Qian'an, Linyu and other counties have begun to move to Lulong County on a small scale under the instigation of the rangers.
In Lulong, there is work to do and food to eat.
Such news spread in the mouths of the caravans of the members of the Chamber of Commerce mainly from the Guan family, as well as the money collected, and in the mouths of the rangers wandering in western Liao.
As long as the flow of displaced people to Lu Long is opened, they can no longer stop.
In response to such a tendency, the chief officials of Linyu and other lands just went to the letter and handed the complaint to the desk of the Taishou Mansion.
But Gongsun Ying didn't pay much attention to it, his father Gongsun Jing didn't care, why should he bother.
And then his niece, I don't know if it was a sudden enlightenment or something, the sake that had been fried in the lonely bamboo village had been fried for 10,000 gold, and she generously sent him a car.
I also came to the letter, and when I ran out, I was not stingy.
There was no reaction in the direction of Taishoufu, and the rest of the people and others would not make much movement.
These displaced people remain in the county and do not want to be attached to the big family, but it is a burden of instability.
Sitting back and watching them starve to death, Yu's political achievements and reputation are not good, it is better to let these burdens go to Lulong.
Although the arrival of more displaced people has made the officials in Lulong County more busy, the county seat and the construction sites that have blossomed everywhere in Lulong have indeed boosted the economic prosperity.
At the construction site of a city wall, there were hundreds of laborers.
Around the construction site, around hundreds of laborers, stewards, and small officials, there are countless job opportunities.
On the premise of guaranteed wages, workers have expenses at hand, and there will be consumption.
In order to stimulate the economy, the laborers in Lulong County are not as meticulous as those in Lulongsai.
Therefore, there are gradually some small restaurants around each construction site, which sell a staple food called steamed buns and some side dishes, and the business is good.
As a result, the restaurant has extended the employment of the cook, the operation of the water mill and the sales of the farmer's vegetable plot.
There are also some cheap small wine shops with a bowl of wine mixed with a pot of water next to the construction site for leisure.
and a large pond for bathing, although the dirty water and the large bunk, the environment is worrying.
But there are still people who live far away, or bachelors, who choose to move in after weighing the pros and cons.
One is cheap and comfortable, and the other is convenient.
A warm bathhouse can provide several job opportunities such as boilermaker and waitress.
Even the poorer can find a job as a sweeper, sewing or laundry.
Not to mention the wages and goods that the workers take home, it is a new round of consumption.
It is difficult for others to see so deeply.
But these changes are happening, and they are making subtle changes to the lives of the people of Lulong County.
Lulong County, with the support and promotion of various industries of the county government and the government-run chamber of commerce, has gradually shown a busy scene from point to point.
And those who joined the Chamber of Commerce early have already earned their first pot of gold within the framed framework.
A caravan was in the weaving workshop in Lulong County, and with the cloth ticket stamped by the county government chamber of commerce, they received three carts of fine arrowroot cloth, which was the most popular in summer.
The fabrics from the Lulong Weaving Workshop are all fine-stitched and smooth high-quality, but the purchase price is low, and it is a very sought-after commodity.
The steward said goodbye to the reception of the mansion in front of the weaving workshop, and was a little dissatisfied when he was pleased with the profits that these three carts of fine arrowroot cloth would bring.
The share of the cloth tickets given to their families in the county government chamber of commerce is too small.
These shares are delineated according to the membership level of the Chamber of Commerce, and the lower their level contribution, the less the natural share.
Even if you are willing to increase the handling fee, you can't get an extra ticket.
The steward stretched out the way for the convoy behind him, and at the same time thought in his heart to go back and persuade the head of the house.
Send more laborers to Lulongsai or send the family's shady artisan households to Lulong, increase the contribution of the Chamber of Commerce, and receive more cloth and wine tickets.
It was not without thought that they had thought of bribing, or simply stealing the drawings of the looms of the weaving workshop.
However, the pickets in the county are extremely strict, and the last chamber of commerce manager and small officials who dared to accept bribes have been hung on the wall of Lulong County.
The last one who dared to bribe and steal secrets had already been broken, and the whole family was given education and reform in the Lulongsey labor camp.
In particular, the county is still recruiting troops recently, and there are strong troops stationed in the Lulongsai military village, and no one dares to twist the tiger's whiskers to touch the mold.
A large number of high-quality fine arrowroot cloth in Lulong County flowed into the market, with better quality and the same or lower price, and in a short period of time, the original cloth market was impacted.
There have been a number of families who originally controlled a large number of weavers and ayaluo households who were unwilling to join the chamber of commerce, and expressed their willingness to send their weavers to the official family of Lulong County in order to seek a compromise.
Only a few families are still holding on.
Thinking of this, the steward couldn't help but sigh.
Even if these families survive the summer, they will bow their heads in the winter.
He once attended an investment exhibition held by the Chamber of Commerce with the head of his family, in which a thing called cotton cloth was displayed.
In the winter, as soon as this kind of thing appears, the burlap that most people now hoard in their homes will be worthless.
The steward looked up at the convoy waiting to pull the goods behind him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, times have changed!
Feeling confused, he passed by a group of centaurs who had just entered the city.
This group of men and horses came from afar.
In the center of an ox cart, there sat a middle-aged scribe sitting in a bold posture, holding a pot of wine he had bought by the side of the road, his face was slightly red, and he looked around curiously.
"What a place!" He hiccuped as he said.
(Not a particularly famous person, no need to guess.) )
