    After leaving the gate of Shen Mansion, this time it was different. Shen Xi personally delivered him. When he said goodbye, he even held Ye Chang's arm with an eager attitude that made people almost feel uncomfortable.  Ye Chang finally got rid of Shen Xi's enthusiasm for visiting guests. After walking out of the copper camel shop, he stopped smiling and wiped his hands with a hint of disgust.  Just now, Shen Xi held his hand and said many words to connect his feelings.  Seeing him like this, Nan Jiyun smiled and said: "Fifth brother, things are not going well?" "It's going well, it's going too well. This guy is a man who takes the bait when he smells something fishy. He promised to let his people help us." Ye Chang said:  "Although it has been twenty years since their family moved inland, the old retainers are still there. I don't expect them to do anything. If they can help us be our guides and lead the way, then I will be satisfied." "That's right." Two  When he learned that Ye Chang would also provide weapons to Shen Xi's private soldiers, Nan Jiyun was shocked: "Why do you agree to such conditions? Not to mention that good weapons and armor are hard to find. Even if  Yes, we have to wait for him first. How can we get him?" Ye Chang laughed, and Shanzhi next to him said "Amitabha": "Second brother has always seen the fifth brother, so why did he leave today?  "Eye?" "Huh?" "Last time, you said that he was kidnapped by the fifth brother again Second brother, think about it, that man named Shen was raised by us and trained by us, you said  After completing the training, will these people be named Shen or Ye? " Nan Jiyun sighed, he really cares about things, and what Ye Chang is best at is winning people's hearts.  If the person provided by Shen Xi was really trained by Ye Chang for half a year, he might not even know his parents' surnames, and would they still listen to Shen Xi?  "Haha, you say that I am like a master of pyramid schemes." Ye Chang said with a smile: "There are other reasons why I agreed. First, the person named Shen is familiar with the situation in Liaodong, such as horses, cows, and so on.  We have to find a way to prepare it for us from the Hu people. This is much more convenient than searching for it ourselves. Secondly, I am still waiting for his people to point out where there are iron mines and coal mines.  With iron and coal, we can make our own steel, forge armor, and even strong crossbows, I can make them for you." Crossbows are weapons. The infantry of the Tang Dynasty can run rampant in the world. Defense relies on Mingguang Armor, and close combat relies on Yang Dao.  The long-distance attack relies on powerful crossbows.  However, making military crossbows requires good craftsmen, and the output is limited, so Nan Jiyun is not interested in it.  When he heard Ye Chang say that he could mass-produce steel crossbows, Nan Jiyun was immediately shocked: "Eleventh Lang, do you have a treasure bag and many things that you haven't taken out to show us?" "What?"  "You can really make crossbows, and make them in large quantities?" "It's easy." Ye Chang smiled.  At this time, craftsmen relied on their crafts to make a living, so they were often hidden. The craftsmanship was difficult to pass on and spread. This also determined that the production at this time must be a small family workshop-style production, even in the military craftsmen camp controlled by the imperial court.  exception.  Therefore, although there were tens of thousands of craftsmen households in Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty that were nominally directly affiliated with the imperial court, their production capacity was never fully utilized.  Ye Chang felt that if these tens of thousands of craftsmen were organized and managed by him, their production efficiency would be several times higher even without technological revolution.  They were talking and laughing, walking eastward along the Luoshui River. When they reached the bridge over the Luoshui River, they were about to cross the bridge to Nanshi when they suddenly heard a shout on the bridge, and the voice was even urgent.  Ye Chang looked at the horse and saw a boat floating down the Luoshui River. It was probably because of heavy rain in the upper reaches of the Luoshui River a few days ago. The water was very strong at this time, and the boat lost control.  Although the boatman was sweating profusely, he was leaning left and right, but the boat refused to obey his orders and even started to spin.  People on the boat were crying, the boatman was also screaming in fright, and people watching the excitement on the shore were shouting and screaming. These sounds mixed together, making the sky boiling.  Ye Chang saw the appearance of the boat and saw many people crowding on the bridge to watch the excitement. He was shocked: "Don't get on the bridge, don't get on the bridge." The bridge was a wooden bridge. There were many people standing on the bridge, and the bridge was already gone.  It carries a lot of weight. If the boat hits the bridge pillar, everyone on the bridge will fall into the water.  But Ye Chang¡¯s voice was drowned in the shouting and shouting.  Some idle people went to the bridge one after another, because the bridge was the best place to watch the excitement.  Ye Chang was very anxious. Shanzhi, Nan Jiyun and others tried to stop them one after another. However, they could stop the people nearby, but they could not stop the people on the opposite side and at the other end of the bridge. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of people crowded onto the bridge.  In this situation, Ye Chang really had no choice but to do anything.  At this moment, there was only a loud shout, and a figure rushed over. He was holding a long bamboo pole for hanging clothes that he got from somewhere in his hand. After running to the shore, one end of his long bamboo pole was  Push a little harder on the river bank, and then the whole person will be bounced up, flying into the air like a pole vault.  He wanted to use the power of this bullet to jump onto the boat that was rushing down. Ye Chang's heart moved. This person took action at this time. He thought he was a good boat operator. However, there was only a click sound, and the pennant in the man's hand unexpectedly  Broken. The man's body did not bounce to the highest point. Before he could use much force, he began to fall downwards.The man roared again and fell into the water with a "bang", but just as the waves splashed in the water, his body bounced up again.  But before he fell into the water, he put one hand on the side of the ship, used this strength to jump up, and landed firmly on the stern of the ship.  The boat shook violently. The boatman didn't know what was going on, but he saw the person who jumped on the boat put half of the bamboo penn in the water. The originally spinning boat began to slow down and the bow straightened.  The boatman turned around and saw the man: "Ah, thank you very much." "Stand still." The man shouted, and he took another punt. The bow of the boat swung sideways and passed under the wooden bridge diagonally.  The people on the bridge realized the danger just now, and they all exclaimed in unison.  Looking at the man, Ye Chang had a strange look on his face: "I never thought that this guy would have such abilities." The man who jumped onto the boat was none other than the Hunusu thick leg that Shen Xi gave Ye Chang. I saw him flicking it.  Hurry up, the boat gradually docked, and finally paused and stopped.  Everyone looked at the boatman who had gotten into trouble. He was only sixteen or seventeen years old. He was clearly still a teenager. No wonder he was at a loss when encountering an emergency.  "You little bastard, you want to learn how to hold a pole before your hair is fully grown?" Su Chou's legs were dripping with water, and he yelled at the boatman.  Although the young man's face was pale, he was still unconvinced: "So what, it's my own boat. If you want to take care of it, go take care of your boat." People around him scolded the young man one after another, and Su Huuchi even stepped forward to relieve himself.  Kicked the kid over.  However, he also knew that most of the boatmen on the Luoshui River were in the same group. He was just a helper and could not control much.  Jumping ashore, Su thick legs began to tremble when the cold wind blew.  He cursed twice more, feeling cold to the bone and almost freezing to death.  At this moment, a man came up to him with a smile: "Su Chuchu, you did a great job today." As the man said this, he took off his clothes and put them on Su Chuchu.  Su Chou took a look at his legs and saw that it was Ye Chang. His face was stunned. He felt Ye Chang's body temperature on his cotton-padded clothes and couldn't help but bowed down and said, "I saw Ye Langjun again I just made Langjun laugh again. Su Chou  "My legs have been in ruins all my life. This is my fate." "The last two times, I was in ruins, but not today. If it hadn't been for you, if this wooden bridge had broken, I don't know, dozens and hundreds of people would have fallen into the water. The weather was freezing and the ground was freezing.  There will be many casualties." Ye Chang patted him on the shoulder: "Don't talk nonsense, there is an inn nearby, you come with me, let the inn prepare hot water, and have a bowl of ginger soup to drive away the cold." Su Thick Legs thought.  I owed Ye Chang a lot of favors, so I didn't care if I owed him a few more favors, so I followed Ye Chang to the inn.  After finishing cleaning up, when he came out again, he didn't see Ye Chang. He only saw the innkeeper holding Yu Yishang.  "These are the clothes that husband bought for you. Although they are old, they have been washed clean." The waiter smiled and said, "This is not the future after all. There are clothing stores everywhere, so Ye Chang can only ask the waiter to buy Su Su's clothes."  Thick legs bought used clothes.  While Su Cuuchi was changing his clothes, he asked: "Where is the husband?" "He's gone He said he'd see you later. Oh, the shopkeeper also sent two taels of money to the guest.  Go and get it." Su Chuuchi's hands stiffened, and he raised his eyes and looked at the waiter: "Where are you going?" "Across the bridge, it's to Nanshi. I know that man, Xiu.  Wuye Shiyilang, Nanshi Grand View Garden, is a big fortune." Ye Chang is now a moderate celebrity in Luoyang City, and many people recognize him.  Hearing what the waiter said, Su Toutiao hurriedly put on his clothes, and then ran towards the bridge without paying any attention to the two coins on the counter.  He ran out of the south gate of Tongtuofang and looked towards the bridge. Because the bridge connected to Nanshi East Street, it was very busy with traffic.  Among the endless flow of people, Ye Chang and others could not be seen. Su rushed onto the bridge with thick legs, but still did not see Ye Chang.  He did not hesitate and continued to run forward, almost hitting someone.  After rushing for more than a hundred steps, I saw Shan Zhi in the crowd.  Shanzhi¡¯s cassock was more conspicuous in the crowd. When he saw him, he then saw Ye Chang and others.  Su Toutui shouted: "Ye Langjun, Ye Langjun" There were too many people, his voice was drowned in the noise, and Ye Chang didn't hear it at first.  Su thick legs followed closely. Fortunately, Ye Chang and the others were chatting while walking, so it didn't take long for Su thick legs to arrive.  "Ye Langjun" he shouted again.  Ye Chang turned around, saw it was him, and said with a smile: "Quickly Mr. Su, what's the matter with you?" Su Toutian's lips twitched twice, with a look of shame on his face: "Thank you, Mr. Ye Lang" "  You saved people first, I just bought you a few clothes, how can I be grateful?" Ye Chang got off his horse and said, "You and I are old acquaintances, there is no need for this." "II"  "Is there something difficult for Su Zhuangji? Just say it, if I can help, I will not stand aside." Ye Chang had wanted to recruit Su Huajie in the past, but after two failuresEventually, this attachment faded away.  Originally, I was just interested in Su's thick legs for his skills, but now I saw that he had a warm heart hidden under his cold face, and my liking for him immediately increased, so he agreed generously.  Su thick leg hesitated for a while, and then asked: "Ye Langjun put the villain into the inn and bought some clothes, but why did he leave without meeting me?" "Haha Su Zhuangji is a cheerful person, and I won't hide anything from you.  "Looking at your appearance, I think you are still depressed recently. Ye knows that the last thing a depressed person wants to see is an old acquaintance, so he turned around and left because he was afraid of embarrassing you, but he didn't mean to be rude." Ye Chang said this frankly.  , over there, Su Tongji still made a big blush, he bowed down and said: "It's the villain I was blind before, and let Ye Langjun do this Ye Langjun, the villain is convinced now, and I am willing to do it for you."  Ye Langjun served Ye Changming secretly recruited him before, but Su Toutou was unwilling to work for him. The reason was simple. After being a slave for a long time, he really didn't want to do this job of serving others anymore. But this time it was different. Ye Chang was different.  Concerned about his feelings and unwilling to see him for fear of embarrassment, Su Chuangji truly felt that Ye Chang respected him personally. Compared with others, this kind of respect was something Su Chuangji had never encountered since arriving in the Tang Dynasty.  Been there before. ¡°Huh?  " Ye Chang was a little baffled. He had already given up on Su Thick Legs. Why did he say "I'm convinced" today? Although he was confused, since the other party was interested in the same thing, of course he couldn't refuse.  Ye Chang helped him up with both hands: "Why do you say this? We have like-minded people and we can do something together. There is no need to say whether we are effective or not Su Tongji, are you good at sailing?" "A certain land-based skill,  It¡¯s only 30% of what you can do on the boat.¡± After Su Cuotui stood up, he boasted: ¡°If Mr. Lang has a boat with me, we can easily double our profits in a year.¡± ¡°The boat¡± Ye Chang laughed.  This Su thick leg was recruited after repeated efforts. It is much more reliable than ordinary people. Ye Chang is going to Liaodong and needs reliable manpower to control the sea ships. With Su thick leg here, it is another addition to his platter.  "Lang Junxiao but is there really a boat?" Su Cuuchi was very smart. When he saw Ye Chang smiling like that, his heart moved and he asked eagerly.  "Exactly, but I'm not a small boat that just floats around in Luoshui, but a sea ship." "A sea ship?" Su Chuzu's face changed slightly: "Is it really a sea ship?" "Of course, I am interested.  I went overseas to seek immortals and visit the Tao, so I tried to build a sea ship. Now that I have completed it, I just need to recruit people to go down the river to Denglai." Looking at Su Chuu's legs, Ye Chang said: "The storm on the sea is not caused by the river.  What do you think, Su Chuuchi?" "This" Su Chuchuji hesitated.  "What?" "As Lang Jun said, the storms at sea are beyond comparison with rivers. Have Lang Jun ever built a ship before?" "None." "ThenHave the ships built by Lang Jun ever been tested in the sea?  ?" "Not yet." "Have you ever tried it in the river?" "Lang Jun, you can't play with your life." Ye Chang laughed: "Su thick legs, I am the most afraid.  Those who cherish their lives the most, otherwise they would not want to ask Taoist Visiting Immortals. Do you think the ship I built will be broken by the wind and waves?" He spoke loudly on the Luoyang market, and he was not afraid of being beaten.  When others heard that, Su Cuotou's heart moved. He raised his eyes and looked at Ye Chang, only to find that Ye Chang was in high spirits, as if the boat was something extraordinary.
