    Princess Yuzhen's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.  If Ye Chang asked her to propose to Li Longji to promote this product, Princess Yuzhen would immediately refuse.  Although she is deeply favored by Li Longji, she is self-aware and has no problem recommending talents to Li Longji. However, if she interferes in specific government affairs, she will definitely be regarded as the second princess of Taiping, and then the favor will turn into fear.  "But Ye Chang proposed to try planting in her first or second farm, and his caution made Princess Yuzhen change her mind.  She glanced at Ye Chang again.  This young man is handsome and elegant. It was indeed wrong for him to compare Wang Wei with him.  He has many more things than Wang Wei, for example, he is confident.  It¡¯s not confidence in her own talent¡ªWang Wei also has this kind of confidence, but in Ye Chang, Princess Yuzhen feels a kind of confidence that seems to be able to see the future.  This kind of confidence seems to have only been seen in that extremely powerful woman, and this kind of memory definitely makes Princess Yuzhen uncomfortable.  Wu Zetian, Wu Zetian in her prime years, had this kind of self-confidence.  Princess Yuzhen¡¯s eyes suddenly widened and she looked at Ye Chang with fierce anger.  But soon, she stopped laughing.  It¡¯s still different from my grandmother¡¯s self-confidence, not that aggressive and domineering.  Ye Chang didn't know that in such a short period of time, Princess Yuzhen had so many complicated thoughts in her mind.  He waited quietly, and then heard Princess Yuzhen say: "What does this have to do with that barbarian girl?" "Ask the barbarian to donate seeds, and at the same time send people to the Central Plains to teach planting techniques." The Tang Dynasty was very concerned about accepting foreign advances.  There is not much resistance to technology. On the contrary, the court actively promotes these things and is optimistic about their success.  In the 21st year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty sent an envoy to Mojita to learn the method of boiling sugar, which led to a breakthrough in the sugar-making technology of the Tang Dynasty.  Princess Yuzhen nodded slightly: "Then, how can those barbarians easily give up the treasures of their clan?" "This Yue analysis of the imperial edict, survival and death can only happen in a matter of days. Without the protection of the Tang Dynasty, they will be conquered by the Nanzhao.  . Only a little restraint can make Nanzhao grateful. Besides, Nanzhao's dominance seems to be detrimental to the interests of the Tang Dynasty in the south" "Interests?" Hearing Ye Chang talk about interests directly,  Princess Yuzhen was a little surprised.  Ye Chang realized that he had spilled the beans.  Although this is not an era where corrupt scholars are rampant, if a gentleman talks about righteousness and a villain talks about profit, he will still be despised by others if he directly expresses his interests.  It was just that it was difficult to swallow back what he said. Ye Chang had no intention of hiding it and just continued calmly: "It is in the interests of the Tang Dynasty that we should talk about justice between people and benefits between countries."  "It's up to you to quarrel with those Confucian scholars, just like your punctuation." Princess Yuzhen didn't listen to his continued explanation: "It's just that you didn't consider what kind of Sui Dynasty is beneficial to the Tang Dynasty now.  "Hmm?" "The Tibetans have invaded one after another, and the Tang Dynasty is preparing for a decisive battle with them." Princess Yuzhen said: "The Tang Dynasty needs Nanzhao to contain the Tibetans from the southeast, and there is no threat to the Tibetans."  Fan analyzed the imperial edict and it was of no use to the Tang Dynasty. As for the white folded cloth, Nanzhao did not dare not to offer it. "Ye Chang said silently after a while: "I am afraid that raising tigers will cause ringworm.  It's just a problem of scabies. All the way to Jiannan is enough to suppress Nanzhao." Princess Yuzhen was a little surprised: "You don't want to speak out for that Nanman girl?" "A certain person has just said that there should be interests between countries.  " "In this way, the young lady is abandoned. She is in trouble and abandons her in the end. This is what Ye Lang calls" Princess Yuzhen said with a smile.  She knows a lot about people. In fact, it can be seen that Ye Chang has nothing to do with that barbarian girl. However, looking at this handsome young man, she can't help but make fun of her.  "So, the Master has agreed to this?" "I haven't agreed yet, right?" Princess Yuzhen's eyes wandered, looking at Ye Chang, and then smiled: "Ye Lang is so eager Please note that I am a nun.  Without a lot of money, even if there is huge profit, what does it have to do with me?" "This is hypocritical, but this kind of hypocritical words makes Ye Chang unable to refute.  Ye Chang¡¯s biggest problem is that there is not enough land. After all, Xiuwu County is the hinterland of the Central Plains and has a dense population. Even if Ye Chang saves enough energy to open up wasteland and acquire land, he will only be able to collect a hundred acres of land.  But what¡¯s the point of growing cotton on a hundred acres of land? Only one or two farms and a thousand acres of land are needed to be considered a small-scale plantation, and to accumulate talents and experience for further expansion.  Not to mention that it is difficult to obtain thousands of acres of arable land in the Central Plains, even in Jianghuai and Jiangdong, which were developed relatively late, it is also difficult to obtain large tracts of land at this time.  Maybe there are still areas in the south of the Yangtze River, but they are raw lands that have truly become mature fields that can be cultivated.It takes several years of hard work.  "What does the Master mean?" After pondering for a while, Ye Chang asked.  Princess Yuzhen was not really refusing, but was negotiating terms with him. Ye Chang knew this very well.  "I have two villages in Duji Road, which are not too far from Xiuwu. There are about 1,500 acres of farmland in total." Princess Yuzhen said: "I want to make a living in the village. I originally intended to build a Taoist temple on the mountain.  For your old age - if I lend Zhuangzi to you, where will the money for my Taoist temple come from?" Although some speculators in later generations claimed that Yuzhen hid in Jingting Mountain in his later years, Li Bai also wrote for him "See each other.  There is a saying that "I never tire of two things, only Jingting Mountain", but in fact Princess Yuzhen began to plan her old age after entering the Tianbao period. The place she was interested in was not Jingting Mountain, which is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, but Jingting Mountain, which is far away in the south of the Yangtze River.  It is located in Wangwu Mountain, north of Luoyang, the eastern capital.  "Oh, what can I do to borrow the Master's two villages?" "It's not difficult I want the Jingzhong Football Market." Princess Yuzhen said slowly.  Ye Chang was stunned.  When I met Jia Maoer and others a few days ago, Jia Maoer and others were really excited when they talked about this year's golf market revenue.  In the same half-year league, on the basis of more than 30,000 crowns last year, the number has soared to 60,000 crowns. Not to mention doubling, the growth momentum has not diminished.  According to Jia Mao'er's estimation, it is natural to break through 100,000 yuan this year, and it may even approach 150,000 yuan! Such an income is really hot, even a bold person like Jia Mao'er proposed to Ye Chang  My own concern: Will the interest groups currently benefiting from the football market diverge? Nanya and other Beijing-based forces are currently not involved in the football market. If they want a piece of the football market, what should they do? As expected, Jia  Mao'er's worries were not unfounded, and Princess Yuzhen took her fancy.  "Master Mingjian, although I have made many suggestions regarding the football market, I am not the one who makes the decision." After thinking for a while, Ye Chang said tactfully: "Besides, the football market is booming, and the league has only been in the league for a year. It is time to intervene.  Hey, is this what Wang Xiaqing meant?" As he was speaking, an idea suddenly struck him. He raised his head and looked directly at Princess Yuzhen. Yuzhen herself probably wasn't very interested in the football market, otherwise she wouldn't have waited until now to bring it up.  Someone must have exerted influence on her recently, and the most likely person is Wang Jin.  In this case, Wang Jin¡¯s hostility towards him can be explained: this guy wants to seize control of the football market.  Under Ye Chang's burning eyes, Princess Yuzhen was slightly stunned. Wang Wei had a deep brotherhood and had to help Wang Jin to negotiate, but she couldn't forget her old relationship, so she had to do this clever thing.  "This matter was indeed proposed by Wang Xiaqing, but it is also my intention." She said slowly: "When the late emperor was still alive, he built a palace for me and my sister Jinxian, which aroused the criticism of the ministers. Now I want to  To build a palace in the royal palace, Sanlang would have to spend money on the treasury for it, and I am afraid that the ministers would inevitably come in to criticize me. If I can raise the money myself to build a palace and achieve a beautiful thing without using the treasury, it would be considered a meritorious deed.  ." Ye Chang laughed.  One is because of Wang Jin's greed, and the other is because of Yuzhen's nonsense.  There is a third meaning, which is because of the short-sightedness and stupidity of these people.  Yuzhen's plan was to build a palace, which would be completed in two or three years. The proceeds from the ball games for two or three years would be used for the palace, and the rest of the time would be wasted. This wishful thinking turned out to be successful.  But who is Wang Jin? He is a descendant of the Wang family in Taiyuan. He is talented in literature and not lacking in brains. But this refers to his brains for working as an official. Is he really capable of presiding over new things such as football games? Ye Chang can almost imagine,  Wang Jin has no skills in generating revenue. All he can do is cut costs, that is, reduce expenditures on the development of football games, such as the training of children's football skills and the construction of regular stadiums, and then move these parts to please Yuzhen.  This can be effective in the short term, but in the long run, it will dig into the foundation of the league.  "Wang Xiaqing has a good idea." Ye Chang said slowly: "I don't have any objections. Wang Xiaqing doesn't know about it, but the Master knows that I don't have any profit in the ball market." Yu Zhen felt a little bit in his heart.  Sorry, she did know this.  After pondering for a while, she felt that she still had to reveal some details to Ye Chang, so as to reassure Ye Chang.  "Jia Mao'er and his ilk are the people you have hired after all. Even though Eleven Lang has no interest in them, their interests are for the sake of Eleven Lang, so I have to take care of them."  Yuzhen pondered for a moment: "Don't think that only Wang Jin is watching this area. He can't hold on with Jia Maoer in the end." "There is something in the Master's words. Please help me clarify my doubts." "Wang Xiaqing"  It's just a lobbyist who came forward, but there is actually someone else Eleventh Lang has not spent much time in Chang'an. I wonder if Eleventh Lang has heard of Wang Yuanbao?" Ye Chang was stunned for a moment, and then said with emotion: "It turned out to be Wang Yuanbao.  Him?" HeHe didn't stay in Chang'an City for long, but Wang Yuanbao's name was like a thunder in his ears, and people mentioned it in his ears almost every day.  When praising a person for his wealth, he would say, "The family's wealth is like a king's ingot"; when praising a person for an unexpected encounter, he would say, "It is like an ingot meeting the God of Wealth."  This Wang Yuanbao is the richest man in Chang'an City. The term "rich enough to rival the country" was almost reserved for him.  " Folk rumors say that even Sanlang Li Longji heard about his wealth and asked him specifically how much his family fortune was. He proudly said that if his wealth could be exchanged for strings, he could tie all the trees in Zhongnan Mountain with more than enough.  "Unexpectedly, Wang Yuanbao also fell in love with this small business." Ye Chang said with a dumb smile.  "He originally intended to form another league on his own, but he was worried about me and Twenty-Nine Niangs, so he asked Wang Xiaqing to be his lobbyist." Princess Yuzhen revealed another piece of information.  "Only fearing Yuzhen and Chongniang, but not other interested parties in the football market, this only proves one problem. Wang Yuanbao has opened up the joints between Jingzhao and the temples and Taoist temples in the capital.  Thinking of what Yu Zhen said just now, Ye Chang couldn't help but ask again: "What about Mao'er's subordinates?" "Although Jia Mao'er is the host and his brothers are loyal, among the twenty-four stewards below, there are  Sixteen of them are already willing to find another job. " In other words, Wang Yuanbao has quietly poached most of Chang'an City's football league management talents. Jia Mao'er may have heard about it, so.  Then I would ask Ye Chang how to deal with it.  Although he didn¡¯t attach much importance to the football league, Ye Chang still felt a little heavy in his heart.  This is the characteristic of this time. The person who wields the sword has a calloused hand, and finally finds a way to make money. Then tigers and wolves swarm in, driving the person who wields the sword away, and they come to monopolize the benefits.  This collusion between tiger and wolf officials and businessmen will even eat the sword wielder until no bones are left.  Therefore, Ye Changcai had to make friends with powerful people, otherwise, he would have no power to protect himself.  ¡°If it weren¡¯t for his relationship with Princess Yuzhen and others, his paper shop and seal shop would have suffered the same fate.  The same reason why he wanted to use Princess Yuzhen's farm to try growing cotton was the same - if it wasn't the princess's land, the government would not allow him to plant new crops.  "I am willing to persuade Jia Maoer and others not only to give up the right to run the league, but also to leave Chang'an." After thinking for a long time, Ye Chang raised three fingers: "However, Wang Yuanbao wants to get the right to run the league.  It won't do even if you pay a price. " "You said, I will get it for you." Princess Yuzhen was also happy when she heard Ye Chang agreed, and she agreed immediately.  "Anyway, it was Wang Yuanbao who paid the price, not her.  "First, Jia Maoer and others have completely withdrawn from the league operation. The equity they hold is counted as 50,000 guan, and Wang Yuanbao must pay it all in one lump sum." 50,000 guan in exchange for an industry with an annual income of more than 100,000 guan is really cheap.  , Princess Yuzhen shook her head without hesitation: "Too few, 80,000 guan, Jia Mao'er and others have 50,000 guan, Shiyilang, you have 30,000 guan!"  Dao Guan congratulations. "Of course Ye Chang will not refuse this, he is in need of money.  "That's it, what about the second one?" "I want to build a ship for the sake of Penglai, so I ask the Master to find convenience for me." In the Tang Dynasty system, there are many taboos on private shipbuilding, so Ye Chang now only runs a ship repair shop in Wuzhi.  , chaired by Cui Xiujing, has invested more than a thousand dollars in just a few months this year to cultivate shipbuilding talents.  If Yuzhen comes forward and the government opens the door, he can expand the scale and recruit craftsmen.  "This is an easy matter. Are you really going to find Penglai Immortal Mountain?" "I do have this intention." Ye Chang said calmly.  The motivation for the advent of the Age of Discovery in Europe was the pursuit of money and wealth by the princes and wealthy merchants.  The princes and nobles of the Tang Dynasty were not tempted to seek wealth overseas, but they were extremely enthusiastic about seeking immortality overseas. Ye Chang planted this foreshadowing at this time in order to usher in China's own great navigation era in the future.  "Are there any others?" "Two are enough." Ye Chang said.
