    This trial lasted less than half an hour.  When everyone returned to the shade of the trees, sweating profusely, the sky had already darkened, and everyone felt relaxed. Many young and impatient people even went topless, just like those scoundrels in the market.  No one cares about this. This is the Tang Dynasty, the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Except for some basic etiquette principles that need to be adhered to, it is originally known for its openness and heroic spirit.  Even at Zhang Xu's age, he took off his hat and clothes after drinking too much and exposed himself in front of everyone.  "It's fun, it's fun, it's more fun than polo and Cuju!" "Da Lang was so brave today, he scored five goals, so he deserves to be the first!" "Haha, you're not bad either, you scored two, especially when you just broke me off  When playing football, you are really brave" "While everyone was wiping their sweat, servants brought tea, snacks and matza. They sat down to drink and chat, which was really comfortable.  ¡°It¡¯s getting late, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t have time to go back tonight, why don¡¯t we all stay in the temple for the night?¡± someone said.  At this time, everyone was shocked: "Oh no, it's not far from the curfew - I can't live here, I have to go home!" "Let's go, let's go!" "We should be able to catch up with the last truck, let's go home!"  Everyone!" Everyone immediately dispersed. Even Yan Zhenqing forgot to ask Ye Chang for words and just went back to stay.  Suddenly the surroundings were empty, except for the Mazha tea and snacks left by these people.  Ye Chang was not polite, and called to the rogue Ranger over there who had also been practicing for a long time: "It's rare for someone to bring snacks. Don't be polite, everyone. We are staying in Xinchangfang tonight, so we don't have to worry about the curfew." Everyone responded with a smile.  Yes, there was still a poor person who said: "These are snacks from Zuo Xiang's house, but we can't eat them on weekdays. I looked at the boxes he used to put snacks in. They were all inlaid with gold and jade. This box alone was enough."  I'm afraid I can buy us out!" "I understand!" Just as Ye Chang was about to reply, he suddenly heard a cheer, and then, a figure appeared in the dark place, swayed twice, and stood still.  Then he rushed towards him.  With the help of some dim light, Ye Chang saw the figure with a green face and fangs, and was immediately frightened, almost knocking over the horse underneath him.  Monk Shanzhi saw that the situation seemed wrong, and immediately stepped forward to stop the figure: "Amitabha, what are you doing?" Only then did Ye Chang see clearly that the figure that jumped over turned out to be Lu Qi, and this kid didn't even leave!  Including Yan Zhenqing, everyone else has left, but he still stays at Ye Chang's place.  He played with Xiao Bailang for a long time, forgetting the time. When Li Fei and others left, they only remembered talking about football, and for a moment they forgot that there was Lu Qi, so they left him behind.  here.  "Lu Xiaolangjun, why are you still here?" Ye Chang just asked Xiao Bailang to give Lu Qi a blow, so as to prevent this insidious person from plotting against him and destroying his good deeds, but he never thought that he would be obsessed with this drama and would continue to do so.  Now.  "Let them go away, I have something to say to you." Lu Qi said.  Ye Chang was not the same, and left everyone by himself: "Since we have something to say, then naturally we should avoid them, how can there be any reason for them to avoid us!" Lu Qi was very unhappy, but Ye Chang knew that he had offended him today.  I don't care about making him feel unhappy anymore.  But after just thinking for a moment, Lu Qi was still eager to share the joy of solving a difficult problem with others.  He looked down upon other scoundrels in the market, so naturally only Ye Chang was worthy of showing off.  Therefore, he could only obediently pull Ye Chang to a little distance, and then said: "Now I finally understand the secret of the money withdrawal scene. I just need to ensure that the money in the opponent's hand is a multiple of four plus one."  , then we will definitely win!" Ye Chang was slightly surprised. Xiao Bailang didn't understand the rules for two days, but Lu Qi figured out the inside story of winning in the money withdrawal game in just half an afternoon. He has such a high level of intelligence.  It¡¯s really rare!  No wonder it has a sinister reputation in history. Even Guo Ziyi, who is the most powerful person on the battlefield, is as afraid of him as a tiger.  "It's true. Mr. Lu Xiaolang is really good at arithmetic. But it's already too late now. Why don't Mr. Lu Xiaolang go back?" "Huh, of course I have to go back. But I failed the question you gave me now, so I'll return it."  There is a question, let¡¯s see how you solve it.¡± Lu Qi sneered and said, ¡°I think you must have a purpose for holding a football match in five days, but don¡¯t forget that a lot of spectators will be gathered to hold a football match.  Making trouble is a taboo of the imperial court, just wait for Jing Zhaoyin to come and cause trouble for you!" After saying that, he walked away without even staying to say a word to Ye Chang.  At this time, Lu Qi was still a young man and could not hide his plans.  He said the last sentence so loudly that not only Ye Chang heard it, but also Xiao Bai who was exhausted by Lu QiHe also heard that he came to Ye Chang with a bowl of mung bean soup: "What Lu Langjun said is not unreasonable. We are still trying to build momentum and go around to promote the game, but by then Jing Zhaoyin  If we are not allowed to do it, everything will be in vain." Jing Zhaoyin is responsible for the administrative and political security of Chang'an City, and he does have the power to prohibit it.  And since Lu Qi left such words, he would obviously work hard in the next few days.  Although his family is not prosperous now, his grandfather was a prime minister after all, and his father is also a county magistrate now. It is very simple for him to use his power in Jing Zhaoyin to ban them from hosting football matches.  Ye Chang frowned and asked Lu Qi a difficult problem. After struggling for him for half an afternoon, he came back and asked another question. If he didn't solve it well, he was afraid that he would be in constant trouble in the future.  Moreover, some of the prestige gained from slapping Yuan Zai in the face and playing football dramas will probably be wasted.  "Who is Jing Zhaoyin now and what is his personality" After thinking for a while, Ye Chang asked Xiao Bailang.  "Unless Mr. He comes forward, what's the use of knowing who Jing Zhao is?" Knowing that He Zhizhang appreciated Ye Chang, Xiao Bailang came up with an idea.  "Don't mention this matter, just tell me who Jing Zhaoyin is, his temperament and achievements." Ye Chang said.  He Zhizhang¡¯s appreciation for him has its limits. Ye Chang is unwilling to use this appreciation to put pressure on Jing Zhaoyin, which may have a negative impact on He Zhizhang and even attract enemies to this aging senior.  ¡°Today¡¯s Jingzhao Yin¡¯s surname is Han, and his name is Chaozong. He once served as the governor of Jingzhou and the interviewer of Shannan Road¡± Han Chaozong!  Hearing this name, Ye Chang felt sweating on his forehead again. This is indeed the capital of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. You can meet all the historical celebrities casually!  The biggest reputation of Han Chaozong in history is that Li Bai wrote "Book with Han Jingzhou", in which the sentence "I don't need to be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households, but I hope I can get to know Han Jingzhou", which can be said to be flattering to the point of flattery.  "It's just that although Han Chaozong was also known for recommending virtuous people and rewarding underachievers, he didn't pay much attention to Li Bai.  Xiao Bailang glanced at Ye Chang, and then said: "This Han Jingzhao has an extraordinary relationship with the Zuo Prime Minister. When he was the inspector, he recommended the Zuo Prime Minister so that he could be promoted to the governor of Qinzhou. That Lu  If the young man is really close to Zuo Xiang's family, or" Having said this, Xiao Bailang shut up. He knew that Ye Chang understood what he meant.  These city foxes and social rats are quite well informed, and they can even dig up the early relationship between Han Chaozong and Li Shizhi.  Ye Chang frowned when he heard this. With only this information, he couldn't even think about it.  "When was Han Jingzhao promoted to Jingzhao Yin?" He asked again.  "It is this year that His Majesty intends to open a canal, so he calls it Jing Zhaoyin. In the 18th year of Kaiyuan, Han Gong worked with Fan An to dredge the Han River and Luoshui River, so he made this appointment." "Open a canal?" Ye  Chang's eyes suddenly lit up.  "However, Mr. Han doesn't seem to like playing games very much. At first, the late Emperor Ruizhong intended to promote Qihan Hu Opera, but Mr. Han stopped it. Now that he has ascended the throne, in the sixth year of Kaiyuan, Mr. Han was appointed Youshiyi, and cooperated with Zhongshu Ling  Zhang Shuo wrote letters one after another, admonishing Qi Han and Hu Xi." Xiao Bailang said again.  This is a tough nut to crack!  After asking about the details of this forbidden Qi Han Hu opera, Ye Chang could almost imagine the character of Han Chaozong: he was indeed the most orthodox scholar-bureaucrat, and he was conservative in temperament and even a little outspoken.  Such people often don't know how to adapt and are as stubborn as a stone in a latrine.  "Don't make any noise about this matter. Just tell the brothers that I have a way to get Jing Zhaoyin to allow the ball game." After thinking for a while, Ye Chang whispered: "These days, I have been practicing hard. During the ball game, I have to show my true skills."  Come on!" "Don't worry, Mr. Lang, even if the game is not allowed, we will still have fun. This football game is much more convenient than Cuju and polo." Ye Chang is not worried about football being unpopular. Cuju and polo are there.  The foundation of football is here, and this sport that combines the best of both worlds will soon become popular in Chang'an.  Early in the morning of the second day, Ye Chang first led these rangers and rogues to do morning exercises, and then went out at the right time, arriving at He Zhizhang's mansion just in time for lunch.  Xuanpingfang, where He Zhizhang's residence is located, is adjacent to Xinchangfang, where Qinglong Temple is located. When he arrived, He Zhizhang was in the mansion. When the family members at the gate heard him announcing his name, they immediately informed him and quickly invited him in.  After the two chatted for a few words, He Zhizhang asked: "Eleventh Master, are you still used to living in Chang'an?" "Chang'an has many good things, but there is only one bad thing." Ye Chang knew that He Zhizhang would ask, early on  He was prepared: "If it doesn't rain, the dust will fly and make people suffocate." "That's true. This is the only bad thing in Chang'an City." He Zhizhang sighed.   "The capital of the Tang Dynasty, the center of the world, this really does not fit the image. In addition, I see that many of the ravines in the city are in disrepair. Although the roads have been repaired many times, there are also many potholes. Once there is a heavy rain, it will definitely cause a disaster.  He Zhizhang narrowed his eyes at Ye Chang's words.  Although He Zhizhang is a straightforward person, he is by no means a fool. Ye Chang's meaning is so obvious, how could he not be clear about it?  "Eleventh Master, do you have any idea?" Ye Chang said with a smile: "I remember a kind of thing, which is used to build canals and pave roads. Although it costs a little more, it is durable. If this is used to pave the streets of Chang'an,  The pain of dust during drought and floods during rainy season are definitely not there, at least they are greatly reduced." "Is there really such a thing?" He Zhizhang was a little surprised, and then thought of what Qin Qinshou said about Ye Chang's experience: "What did you see there?" "  "Exactly." He Zhizhang twisted his beard for a while, and then said, "Is it convenient for me to see it?" "Since it is a suggestion to Mr. He, why is it inconvenient?" Ye Chang said: "The materials required for this are very simple.  The slag, gravel, and calcined shale can be crushed together into dust, and then mixed with a small amount of lime and gypsum. "These things are not valuable at all. I am afraid there is no place to buy them," He Zhizhang said.  "Just send someone to look for it, Mr. He," Ye Chang said.  These things are all worthless scraps, but it will take some time to actually look for them.  He Zhizhang sent several family members there, and it took him half a day to find everything, grind it into powder with a flour mill, and send it to He's house.  It was already afternoon at this time. Ye Chang had lunch at He Mansion, and Zhang Xu and Yan Zhenqing also came to accompany him. Yan Zhenqing was talking to He Zhizhang and Zhang Xu about the football drama yesterday evening. He Zhizhang laughed and repeatedly expressed his desire to  Go see football drama for yourself.  Seeing that everything had been delivered, Ye Chang said: "Let's take care of this first If someone can talk but can't do it, he will have to work as a plasterer." The plasterer has been waiting for a long time, under Ye Chang's command.  , the two plasterers began to mix the powder with the river sand. After Ye Chang felt that it was almost uniform, he ordered them to start paving in a corner of the courtyard of He Zhizhang's house.  " Is this really a kind of soil cement? The mountainous area where Ye Chang teaches is not only poor, but also has inconvenient transportation. In order to build irrigation ditches, the local people thought of soil cement invented during the period of material shortage.  Ye Chang had seen how they made it. Not only were the materials used simple, but the manufacturing method was equally convenient. It required almost no mechanical equipment to produce it in large quantities.  The only limitation is probably the labor cost.  Naturally, it is not as durable and strong as real cement, but in this era, it is also not like real cement, which has to withstand the crushing of vehicles weighing dozens or hundreds of tons.  Under Ye Chang's guidance, the plasterer quickly mastered the technique, and the resulting ground was smooth and smooth, and looked very pleasant.  "You can't step on it yet because it's not dry yet. After a while, when it's completely dry, you can walk up there." Ye Chang added.  "Approximately how long will it take?" "Two days is enough." "If it is true as Shishilang said, after hardening the road surface, it can ensure that it will not be damaged for two to three years, then it will be of great benefit to our Datang!"  Zhang Xu stroked his palm and said, "Tsk, tsk, now I understand a little bit why shopkeeper Qin's eyes were full of admiration and admiration when he saw you!" "Is Mr. Zhang planning to kill someone?" Ye Chang responded with a smile.  "Praise to kill?" Zhang Xu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed again: "Wonderful words, witty words, praise to kill is a good word, I have to remember it!" "In that case, two days later, I invited Han Jingzhao to come to the house for a small gathering.  "He Zhizhang trusted Ye Chang very much, and he decided immediately: "It will be up to Shi Yilang then." Ye Chang smiled and said nothing.
