    Seeing that summer is coming, the gentle wind blows in the fields, and the cotton seedlings are growing very happily.  Zheng Wu looked at these green seedlings, with a complicated expression on his wrinkled face.  On the one hand, he was very happy about the growth of these seedlings, but on the other hand, he was a little worried: these things cannot be eaten, it is said that they only produce something similar to silkworm cocoons, which can then be spun and weaved¡ª¡ª  This is strange. You can grow cocoons. But this is what Ye Langjun said. Those people from Luoyang have great faith in Ye Langjun. They say that even in Luoyang City, Ye Langjun is also a big shot.  .  Thinking about it, I was worried too much. When Ye Langqun came, it only took a few days to drive away the former managers of the village, Fang Yingwu and Jie San, and calm people down.  While I was thinking about it, I saw Ye Chang and more than ten people walking along the field ridge.  "Ye Langjun." Zheng Wu stood up in a hurry to greet him.  "Zheng Wu, is this kapok easy to grow?" Ye Chang recognized him and responded with a smile.  Zheng Wu was overjoyed. He didn't meet such a big shot as Ye Langjun, and it only took him two months to remember him.  "Thanks to Mr. Lang, kapok is easy to grow and does not require much care." "How is your livelihood now? Is the food distributed every week enough?" "Enough to eat, enough to eat, you can eat it with an open belly. Compared with the past  It's much better. In the past, there was nowhere to eat during this lean season." "I remember that your bride is pregnant with a child. Do you spend enough time with her?" When Zheng Wu mentioned this, he felt grateful. Although he looks old,  He is actually less than forty years old, and he still has a wife at home. He had raised two children before, both of whom died in infancy. Now that his wife's belly has swelled again, he was worried. Fortunately, he now has enough to eat.  "Enough, enough. After finishing the work in the fields every day, you can go back to accompany her, and there is also a holiday." Zheng Wu looked at Ye Chang and said boldly: "The gentleman is kind and kind, which is rare in ancient and modern times. The villains are all like this."  I am grateful from the bottom of my heart" Ye Chang claims to use the "ancient method" to keep time, dividing each month into four weeks, with the first, second and third weeks being seven days, and the fourth week being eight days.  The last days of the first, second and third weeks and the last two days of the fourth week are holidays for these tenants. Compared with previous years, they worked day and night, which can be said to be much easier.  They were just grateful to Ye Chang for allowing them to have a day off, but they never thought that Ye Chang was subtly cultivating their discipline in observing time through this regular work and rest time system.  "In a few days, Po Wen will come to Zhuangzi, and I will ask her to show your wife." Ye Chang said again.  ¡° On Ye Chang¡¯s side, it was just a few words, but on Zheng Wu¡¯s side, it was tears in his eyes.  He bowed down again: "Thank you, Ye Langjun, thank you, Ye Langjun." Shanzhi said "Shanzai" behind Ye Chang. Ye Chang said goodbye to Zheng Wu, and they continued to move along the field ridge. When they were far away from Zheng Wu, Ye Chang  Chang turned back and looked at Shanzhi: "Monk, you are so good, but you have something to complain about, right?" Shanzhi glared: "What Lang Jun said is true. The poor monk just thinks that Lang Jun is getting more and more sinister." "How can you?"  "Didn't you act so pretentious just to make people fight for you?" Shanzhi laughed and said, "Even a poor monk can see it. Do you think others can't?" "So what if you can see it? This is originally a conspiracy.  It's not a conspiracy. My pretentiousness is not just empty words, but real money." Ye Chang shook his head: "Monk, this is how things are in the world.  You need to do things not only for yourself, but also for others. Even the emperor sitting in the Ming Palace has to worry about the world every day. If he doesn't work hard for me, he must work hard for others.  At least I have benefited from it, and they will not be less." "Recently, the monk was reading the Art of War. I remembered that when Wu Qi sucked the abscesses of the soldiers, the soldier's mother cried and said that her son would die for Wu Qi." The monk was not impressed by him.  Persuasion: "After all, you and Wu Qi are both liars." It was Ye Chang's request for the monk to read the art of war. With the monk's bravery, it is really a waste to spend this life like this.  What Ye Chang didn't expect was that the monk didn't learn Wu Qi's ability to attract the hearts of soldiers, but instead learned a lot of complaints.  He thought for a while and said, "Let me put it another way. What is your actual purpose, monk, when you recite mantras and pray for people?" "Of course it is to promote Buddhism" "Look, monk, you are not honest, why?  The meeting is just to promote Buddhism. If it is for this purpose, you monks should be the ones to give away all your belongings. Why do you become a monk and ask for alms?¡± The monk thought about it and added: ¡°I also want to ask for food and clothing.¡±  Exactly, when I ask for food and clothing, I also ask for food and clothing, and the tenants also ask for food and clothing. If I show more care to the tenants, the tenants will be willing to do more for me. This is a kind of exchange, so it can't be said to be hypocritical.  " Ye Chang still wants to go on with his speech., the monk looked contemptuous.  After having been with Ye Chang for a long time, the monk understood that this guy was the most troublesome, and trying to reason with him would be asking for trouble.  At this moment, the monk's eyes suddenly widened, showing a vigilant look.  Ye Chang also heard the strange movement behind him. He turned around and saw more than ten riders coming along the official road. The knights on the horses were all brightly armored and had a murderous air.  These horses were trotting. Because Ye Chang and his party were in the middle of the field, they did not ride into the field, but stopped on the road.  Immediately a knight asked: "Do you know that there is Mr. Ye Changye?" Although the knight who spoke was also wearing armor, there was a yin energy when he spoke.  Ye Chang frowned slightly and looked at the man: "That is Ye Chang, who do you respect me?" The man took off his helmet and showed a white face, without saying anything, he smiled: "Our surname is Bian.  , My name is Lingcheng, I am working in the palace now, and I have come to see you on your Majesty's order, with your Majesty's instructions. "Ye Chang felt a chill in his heart. Li Longji didn't have much affection for him, which can be seen from the fact that he was driven out of Chang'an City.  out.  He cupped his hands and saluted: "A village man in the mountains, I don't want to work on the side" At this time, Ye Chang suddenly realized that the person who came to deliver the news was not an ordinary person, but Bian Lingcheng. This person had deceived several people in the Tang Dynasty.  The eunuch of a famous general appeared in front of him.  The most famous eunuch at this time was naturally Gao Lishi, but Bian Lingcheng also had an extraordinary identity and was trusted by Li Longji.  "I don't want to ask you, Mr. Bian." Ye Chang paused for a while and continued: "I'm working, Mr. Bian This is not a place for conversation. Please sit down in a small place." "That's right, let's listen.  He said that the fine wines in Ye Shiyilang's house, one is nectar and the other is drunken rice. They are both rare and top-notch. They have been famous for a long time, and they are going to have a good time today." Bian Lingcheng laughed loudly after finishing speaking.  He wanted to show his pride, but his shrill voice made his laughter nondescript.  Ye Chang felt goosebumps all over his body, and the monk behind him almost vomited.  After leading Bian Lingcheng back to Zhuangzi and asking him to sit down, the damn eunuch laughed, but did not say the true meaning of Li Longji's sending him.  When the wine was served, his eyes sparkled: "Let's try these two fine wines. I heard that Li Taibai was full of praises and wrote a poem to praise them" As soon as the wine was taken in, Bian Lingcheng's face showed an expression.  Then something changed, his face flickered between bright and dark, and after a while he praised: "Good wine, good wine. Even the remnants of us feel like there is a fire burning in our chests after drinking it" That's it.  , Bian Lingcheng suddenly changed the subject: "This time, we came out to ask the saint for a job The reason is that we have long admired Ye Langjun's reputation for being good at upholding the industry, and we came to ask Ye Langjun for advice." Ye Chang  The ominous feeling in my heart became more and more obvious.  Gao Lishi was the first powerful eunuch in the Tang Dynasty. Because he launched a coup with Li Longji to kill Empress Wei and others, he had power that the previous eunuchs did not have.  He made a start, and from then on eunuchs who played dirty tricks and catered to the old and jealous Li Longji emerged one after another.  But that will be a few years later. Now Bian Lingcheng and others only dare to be careful about their power.  But this Bian Lingcheng was like this in front of him At least two pieces of news were revealed.  The first is that Gao Lishi seems to be unable to suppress the rising eunuchs, and the second is that his situation does not seem to be good. "A certain person is a survivor of punishment. He is always worried that he will have no one to rely on in the future, so he wants to accumulate some property.  "Bian Lingcheng saw that Ye Chang was silent and said that he did not understand the meaning of his words. He smiled and said: "I know that Ye Langjun is good at farming. I have something to ask of you. Please don't shirk it. Ye Chang  On the surface, he is still very calm: "Master Bian only gives orders, and if he can do it, he will never refuse.  " "I heard that the yield of Ye Langjun's nectar wine and drunken yellow rice is insufficient. I am willing to contribute money to help Ye Langjun, and at the same time, I can save money for my retirement. What do you think, Ye Langjun?  " As soon as these words came out, Ye Chang was horrified. " This is because he is interested in the profits of his wine making. The profits of manna wine and drunken yellow rice are very large, it can be said that they are ten times more. Just because Ye Chang has the best distillation now.  Technology and equipment are required to achieve this. Even if others want to learn it, they cannot learn it in a short while. It has only been eight months since Zuihuangliang was launched in Luoyang last August.  The profit brought by Ye Chang exceeded 30,000 yuan. It was this money, plus the income from the previous paper mill and printing shop, that continuously supported Ye Chang to start work on several aspects at the same time: he invited craftsmen from Zizhou to renovate the glazed kiln;  Expanding the shipyard in Wuzhi, investing in infrastructure in Luoyang, and conducting cotton trials in Mengzhou. Ye Chang knew long ago that he would not be able to keep such a huge profit for a long time. His plan was also very practical, and he used his previous accumulation.  With your reputation and connections, you can guarantee that you will control this benefit for three to five years. Once the scale becomes larger, you will be able to?Change hands - He had thought about it and handed it over directly to Li Longji in exchange for corresponding policy support.  But I never thought that just like the football market, it didn¡¯t take long for someone to reach out.  The key question is, this Bian Lingchenghe is not Gao Lishi, so why would he dare to speak?  Ye Chang stared at Bian Lingcheng. Bian Lingcheng was holding a wine glass, smiling but not speaking, as if waiting for Ye Chang's response.  " He didn't ponder for long. Thinking of the group of people he had offended before, Ye Chang understood that he had no choice.  People like Yuanzai, Lu Qi, Wang Jin and others are essentially scholar-bureaucrats. Although their personalities are different, their acting styles are always similar. Ye Chang is not very afraid of them - he decides to save face.  The means at their disposal are limited.  But it¡¯s different for dead eunuchs like Bian Lingcheng.  This guy came over from Chang'an to take on a mission. The previous words were all foreshadowing. What's really scary is what he hasn't said yet.  Thinking that he also brought soldiers, Ye Chang knew that he had to agree.  "Mr. Bian has intentions, how could I refuse? But what does Mr. Bian think about future business?" "Oh, what do you mean by this?" "Generally, there are two types of business. One is that Mr. Bian himself does it personally.  , How to operate and how to expand, Bian Gong takes it personally. The other is that Bian Gong is completely hands-off and just sends an accountant to calculate the income every year. " "We don't know how to manage, so it's the latter. "  Bian Lingcheng thought for a while and said.  Ye Chang sneered in his heart.  Bian Lingcheng is greedy. He must first send people to intervene in the business, and then look for opportunities to take away the brewing industry in one fell swoop, just like Wang Yuanbao took away the football market.  It's just that Wang Yuanbao has the financial and manpower in his hands, so he doesn't need much preparation time. Even so, he also made great efforts to bribe the managers of the football market.  The eunuch in Bian Lingcheng's palace had a few people at his disposal. Even if Ye Chang handed over all the wineries to him now, he wouldn't be able to run it.  He must have slowly put in people, and after two or three years, when all these people have taken advantage of it, they will take over all the property.  Wishful thinking and plundering were very successful, but he did not expect that Ye Chang actually planned to hand over the winery to Li Longji.  So be it, within two or three years, nominally give this dead eunuch stock dividends, but use the benefits of expanding production scale to sell more wine to seduce him, and wait until he makes up his mind to take action, let him draw water from a bamboo basket and get nothing.  "How much principal do we have to pay, and how many dividends can we get?" Bian Lingcheng's fat face showed greed.  This is the first time this guy has shown such an unconcealed expression, and he quickly calmed down.  "Bian Gong only needs to spend one thousand guan to own 10% of the shares. After one year, Bian Gong can use 1,000 guan to buy another 10% of the shares. If this continues for five years, what does Bian Gong think?" "Too slow, I  The two of them bargained for a while, and finally reached the agreement of 20% for two thousand guan, and another 20% for the next year. After high-fiving, Bian Lingcheng said with a smile: "Hahahaha, Ye Langjun is.  A hero is someone who understands current affairs.  Ye Chang understood that the formal topic was about to enter next.  "The emperor has an order to recruit martial artist Ye Chang as the chief minister. In order to replace Cao Cao, a soldier in the government, as military counselor and military counselor, he will serve in front of the army in Hongji City, Dahua County today." Ye Chang felt that his eyesight went dark and he became dizzy.
