Luo Yong is 28 years old this year, so he can't be considered the youngest in this court. After those noble families, there are many people who are younger and more talented than him.

In Chang'an City, many noble men and young talents have already gained fame in their teens and early twenties, and the people of Chang'an pursue them no less than young people in later generations pursue stars and idols.

Luo Siniang is currently running "Chang'an Interesting Talk", if there are chapters about these young gentlemen in any issue, that issue will sell very well, and it is often out of stock and needs to be reprinted.

When talking about these young gentlemen, everyone's impression is that they are young, handsome, noble, suave, well-educated, and gentlemanly, and so on.

In this regard, Luo Yong is indeed inferior to them, but when it comes to development and construction, let alone these gentlemen of the gentry, even if their fathers and family members stand up, few can compare with Luo Yong.

Now in this court, if we talk about top-notch figures, veterans like Fang Xuanling and Li Jing will not be mentioned for the time being. Changsun Wuji is active, and Li Ji is very convincing. In addition, Chu Suiliang is also very popular. People are optimistic.

Chu Suiliang is very educated, not only can he write well, but he also has a good knowledge of classics and history.

At that time, Li Shimin, who was still the king of Qin, set up a literature center in Luoyang to recruit scholars from all over the world. The eighteen people who entered the library at that time were known as the eighteen scholars, and Chu Suiliang's father, Chu Liang, was among them. They are good friends. Chu Suiliang was often taught by them since he was a child, and he was talented and famous when he was young.

A few years ago, Chu Suiliang served as the servant of the Huangmen in Chang'an City, and was later sent by the sage to inspect various places. Earlier, because of the death of his father Chu Liang, Chu Suiliang resigned from office and returned to his hometown to observe his filial piety.

However, this person is both talented and learned, and he is also the son of a famous scholar, Chu Liang. He has indeed done a good job as an official for many years, so it will be a matter of time before he is reactivated.In addition, he is only around forty now, and he should still be in his prime after the new emperor ascends the throne, so it can be said that he has a promising future.

However, if we want to say that Chu Suiliang is a person who is really capable of doing things and can influence the situation of the court, Chu Suiliang's rank is still a bit lower. In the next few years, it will mainly depend on Changsun Wuji and Li Ji.

When they came down, it was Luo Yong.

Everyone can see now that Changsun Wuji obviously wanted to win over Luo Yong, but Luo Yong was unmoved.

It's right not to be moved. Although the saint intends to entrust the new emperor to his uncle and close friend, he doesn't want the eldest grandson Wuji to cover the sky with one hand. The emperor is obviously more concerned about Luo Yong's attitude. satisfy.

Everyone saw these things in their eyes, and one time, a person sneered at Zhangsun Wuji face to face: "Master Juntangtang, why did you want to flatter Luo Jieluo with that coffin board? I heard that he never gave you anything." Good face."

This person is also desperate. Knowing that Changsun Wuji is likely to hold great power in the future, he dares to be so stubborn in person. If you say that at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, whether it was in the court or among the people, this was the general trend. One by one, it's like a tiger.

Changsun Wuji is flexible in his wrists and quick in his reactions. He didn't become angry when he was slapped in the face like this, and immediately replied with a smile:

"It's a coffin board, and who can give it a good face, but it has given you a good face. If it is true, just tell me, I will hold a banquet to celebrate your birthday."

His friends next to him also made a fuss, which made the person who was looking for trouble look ashamed, which was very boring.

Later, Luo Yong also heard about this incident, and it was also the first time he knew that the name of the coffin board can not only prevent many troubles, but also be used as a shame board.

Luo Yong usually doesn't get involved with the noisy affairs in the officialdom that have nothing to do with him, and rarely even socializes.

The people he communicates with the most now, besides the Bai family, are mainly those gentlemen who have studied arithmetic with him in Luo's Machine Workshop these days. This time, Luo Yong wants to set up a women's textile college. With the help of these gentlemen.

Considering that there will be a large number of applicants this fall, the new school must be large enough, and because it is a girls' school, for the sake of the safety of the female students, it cannot be set up in a remote place.

Luo Yong originally thought that he would probably go to the south of the city, but these gentlemen helped him find a good place. It was in Shengpingfang under the jurisdiction of Wannian County in the east of the city, which was relatively in the middle. lot.

This courtyard is very large. At the time of the previous dynasty, it was originally the residence of an official family. It was also a large family. There were hundreds of people in the whole family, including servants and maidservants. According to the resettlement standards at that time, the family was allocated a large house. I heard that it was expanded to the left and right. Now the size of the house is more than [-] mu.

After the change of dynasties, this house has changed owners several times, but none of them lasted for long, so some people say that its Fengshui is not good. The current owner is a Persian. The Persian has been in the Central Plains for a long time, and he also believes in Fengshui. He bought the yard, but he didn't live in it. He only occasionally rented it out to other Persian merchants to temporarily store goods.

The Persian also wanted to sell the house to make some cash, but the reputation of the house is not good, and it has not been repaired for a long time, and the house is also relatively dilapidated, so it can't be sold at a good price, so it is cheap He refused, so he kept procrastinating.

This time, I was introduced by a familiar gentleman. Luo Yong, the county magistrate of Wannian and Wannian counties in Chang'an, fell in love with this house, and the price he offered was not low. Ling has set up a Textile College here. In the future, the price of the land in the neighborhood will rise again and again. Doesn't it seem that he is at a disadvantage if he sells the yard at this time?

When Luo Yong heard what he said, he smiled and said:

"Maybe my college will close down within two days, and the properties in the neighbors will still not be very valuable. Only your yard will be sold early and sold for a good price."

"How can that be?" The Persians didn't believe it at all.

If it is said that other people run a school here that will close down, he may still believe it, but if it is Luo Yong, he will not believe anything. The reason to live.

The Persians didn't believe anything, they believed that Luo Yong's new school would be prosperous, and the real estate in their area would have to increase in price by then.

Luo Yong also had no choice but to really like the location and area of ​​his property, so he had no choice but to increase the price for him.

In addition, the Persian also proposed that Luo Yong allow Persian women to enroll in this textile college. In the first year of this year, twenty places will be given, and ten places will be given every year thereafter.

After some thought, Luo Yong agreed to give them five places this year first, and made no promises for the future. If there is no accident, he should start beckoning some foreign students one after another in a few years.

It is not uncommon to recruit some foreign students in the current Chang'an City. There are many foreign students from various countries in the Taixue. In the many private schools in and around Chang'an City that have been established in recent years, some of them can often be seen. Figures of foreign students.

The Women's Textile College that Luo uses, because it involves some relatively advanced textile technologies, currently does not plan to recruit foreign students on a large scale. After a few years, he also plans to slowly open up these technologies.

The Persian won five places, and he showed a very disappointed face face to face. As soon as Luo Yong left, he turned around and happily showed off to his Persian friends.

There are a lot of Persians living in Chang’an City, and most of them make a living by doing business. Some travel around and transport goods, and some settle in Chang’an City. There are even many people who are no longer in business and buy houses. They lived a life like Yuanwailang. Some Persians had a wide profile and knew many gentlemen in Chang'an City. Among them, they also enjoyed a relatively high status.

The places for these five women's textile colleges are naturally very valuable to these Persians living in Chang'an City.

Selling a few of these places for a while, the Persian will make a lot of money, and getting the places will also give him a lot of face.

"..."

"Why did the magistrate of Naluo come to buy your house?"

"It's the middleman made by Mr. Wang's family."

"But Langya Wang?"

"Exactly."

"You still know the prince of the Wang family?"

"How did you know it? Why haven't we heard of it?"

"..."

"That Mr. Wang, is he often learning arithmetic with the magistrate of Naluo County in Luo's Machine Workshop?"

"..."

Although these five places are precious, they are also very clear in their hearts that the most advanced technologies are probably still at Roche Machine Workshop.

But isn’t it impossible to get into the Luo’s Machine Workshop? Even those dignitaries and noble families in Chang’an City may not be able to do it. It’s even more difficult for them foreigners. Besides, I don’t know the Yellow Emperor of the Central Plains. what attitude.

This time the Persian women entered the textile college in Romania. They agreed to keep a low profile as much as possible, and it was best to choose the children they had with Han women to send in...

At this moment, the news that Luo Yong is going to open a women's textile college in Chang'an City has already spread in and out of the city. Families have different attitudes.

Some families are more open-minded, like those gentlemen who are studying arithmetic with Luo Yong at the Luo's Machine Workshop, most of them support their daughters to go to Luo Yong's textile college.

Although the level of the Textile College is slightly lower than that of the Machine Workshop, and it mainly trains craftsmen in textiles, but the so-called skills are not overwhelming, people grow up in this life, what harm can there be in learning more skills, besides The weaving work was originally done by women, so it wasn't too outrageous to learn it.

But there will always be some people who don't like it, they hold their own identities, and they don't want their daughters to go to that kind of place to learn those low-level crafts.

Some daughters of those families resigned to their fate, some thought the same way, and some fiercely resisted. The last thing Luo Yong wanted to hear these days was which family's daughter had hanged herself again, or which family's daughter had jumped into a well again. , although no one has really killed anyone yet, it is still very worrying.

On this day, Luo Yong heard again that there was a little lady who fled home over the wall in the middle of the night, but was caught back, beaten severely, and restrained.

There were rumors that her legs were broken, and there were rumors that she hadn't. I don't know the details, but the attack was ruthless.

In the afternoon of the same day, Luo Yong asked someone to copy the relevant provisions of the "Law of Zhenguan", clearly in black and white, and posted them in the government offices of Chang'an County and Wannian County.

According to that article, if you kill a living person, even your own parents will be sentenced, that is, imprisonment. The so-called imprisonment in Chang'an City is basically sent to the mining area to mine.

This incident made many parents feel that their majesty was offended. There were many voices of crusade and criticism. On the Internet, someone discussed this matter.

Luo Yong didn't care much about these ups and downs, anyway, his bottom line was there, clearly pasted on the outer walls of the two county government buildings.

Luo Yong really has no control over how those parents discipline their children, and there is no way to rely on them.

But whoever dares to make a fuss, then he has to come to the mansion to try his coffin board, to see if he can gently expose the matter like so many officials in the past.
