The preparations for transporting summer grain began early, but in recent years, the "grain chief" has gradually changed a little from the identity that everyone hates.3

The main reason is that the main force of grain transport has changed from Lifu to boats, carriages and horses. Not to mention the extremely strong carrying capacity of boats, boats and boats, the transportation capacity of new large trucks in recent years is quite amazing, and mules and horses have increased significantly every year in the entire Yangtze River Basin. It is not only "Hunan" and Liaodong that are crazily building roads. Before the restructuring of "Hubei", Jianghuai Road built three "roads" connecting Wuhan.

The most famous one is the straight road heading north in Wuhan, which runs directly through Shenzhou, Anzhou and connects to Yuzhou. After passing three passes, Shilongshan has formed a small "transportation hub" in Shenzhou.

Originally, a Huai River stretched across it, which was the natural dividing line between the Jianghuai Road and Henan Road in the old days. However, with the improvement of Wuhan's material technology and engineering technology, Shenzhou's way to Henan was completely solved through suspension bridges.

Therefore, the imperial court not only upgraded the military palace here, but also added two Tianjing ambassadors.

Because it is a small "transportation hub", people and animals have to rest after walking. It just so far is in Huainan, which is quite spontaneous. After the lively place, it brings not only tourists, but also advanced technology.

In addition to civil engineering construction and other technologies, there are also agricultural technology.

In the past ten years, the total number of terraced fields developed in Shenzhou was close to 200,000 mu, and the total number of ponds, dams and ditches in mountainous areas exceeded 1,000. A large number of hidden households and fled households also walked out of the mountainous areas and returned to a civilized society.

Here, the traces of the entry of the Jianghuai Road into Beijing in the old days were gradually erased, and the towns that developed from the traces were far larger than people's imagination ten years ago.

"Sir, you can cross the river and get to Zhongshan, but you have to go directly to the prefecture?"

"Just in Zhongshan."

On the "Bao", you can already see teams preparing for summer grain. These teams come from all directions. The reason for coming to Shenzhou is to first set up the warehouse courtyard so that the "grain chief" can settle down after it comes.

Nowadays, the "grain chief" is not an ordinary person, and may also have the identity of a big merchant. Because of the increased transportation capacity and the court's estimates based on the transportation capacity of the old era, the "grain chief" often carries a little "private goods" within its capacity.

Of course, these "private goods" cannot be all "grain chiefs". There are many sources of partners, including local tyrants, rascals, and villagers and farmers. In short, "private goods" gradually arrive at the former capital Chang'an and the current capital Luoyang through the transportation volume team along the established route.

Agricultural and sideline products are the least worried about sales in Beijing. They can often be exchanged for a lot of metal currency. Even silk cloth, the quality of silk cloth in Beijing is the best these days.

Even the most inferior silk cloth in the capital is much less than that in the capital, it is much more "full" than in local prefectures and counties.

Local people need "grain chiefs" to earn extra money, and there are also a group of people in the capital who need "grain chiefs" to make something.

These people are naturally not big nobles, but they can be small nobles. If they want to maintain the dignity of the old era and cannot bear the high cost of living in the capital, they naturally have to gradually "reduce consumption". It is understandable to increase revenue and reduce expenditure and focus on local people.

The little nobles need to trade, but they don’t want to attract attention. The “grain chief” who has not been to the capital several times in these years has become a good choice.

The "grain chiefs" have enough supplies, while the little nobles also have the "cash" or other "valuable items" that the "grain chiefs" need.

Even though these "cash" and "valuable items" are neither too many nor expensive in the capital, they are quite proud of their faces in many places.

"What is the banner over there?"

Tang Jian had a bad look and pointed to the long cloth banners on the mouth of Hejin in the distance. They seemed to have written words on them, but they were not very real.

"Skin seller."

"leather?"

Tang Liulang nodded, and after seeing it, he said to his own son, "It's said it's a Luoyang furry."

"Why, it's easier to sell fur goods in Zhongshan Luoyang?"

After thinking about it, I felt something was wrong, "There are no furry in Luoyang."

"Why don't you ask?"

"Just ask someone to inquire."

Tang Jian nodded and asked Tang Shanshi to send someone to ask why the banner of "Luoyang Leather" was hung.

Soon, servants rode their horses back.

"What did you say?"

"Mr., after walking down to inquire, the merchants there said that the foreigners believed that the 'Luoyang fur goods' were the best made of materials and 'Luoyang fur goods' were the most beautiful thing in the countryside."

"Where does this start?"

Tang Jian looked speechless. Most of the fur goods in the capital came from Anbei Protectorate and Liaodong, followed by Jiannan Road and Fandi, and finally overseas.

Local fur goods are very average, and the best craftsmen are often in Chang'an, Hebei and Huaiyang.

Tang Jian thought there must be some reason for this and wanted the servant to inquire again, but when he thought that the servant might not understand his doubts, he simply prepared to go and take a walk after he arrived in Zhongshan.

When he arrived at Zhongshan, he rested. With doubts, Old Tang took his son and his relatives and walked around the town.

After hearing this, Tang Jian realized that the "Luoyang fur goods" at Zhongshan Ferry was not formed in one day or two. Moreover, these "Luoyang fur goods" came from the homes of the two capitals in terms of "authentic" sources of goods.

He is not a national and county magistrate, but he is much better than ordinary people.

All these "Luoyang fur goods" are "authentic" from these down-and-out families, and they are second-hand goods in stock.

"I never thought that it would be difficult to get to such a land in the capital?"

Old Tang was filled with emotion. Although Chang'an was not easy to live in, he could still survive. Even if the small and medium-sized aristocrats maintain their dignity, they would not be as good as selling their own clothes.

The current problem is obviously not just that it is difficult to live, but that the luxury of the capital cannot be stopped.

This situation occurs when the extravagance cannot be stopped, and the cost of living increases.

Over time, along with other places and rural areas, a brand of goods was formed, namely "Luoyang Leather Goods".

A place that does not produce high-quality fur products has become famous for fur products, which makes Lao Tang laugh and cry.

"This 'Bao' is built wide and straight, not only can it penetrate Shenzhou and Yuzhou, but it can also make the nobles in the capital feel like they are dying."

Old Tang pointed to the town next to Shuijinkou and said meaningfully.

Tang Liulang and his followers were confused, thinking why he was so old that he was still making such a joke in public?

How could they know that Lao Tang's mood is so complicated at this moment that it is really hard to tell others.
