Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    It was March, the grass was growing and warblers were flying, the air was warm and the water was warm.  A group of people wearing bright clothes and angry horses are galloping in the wilderness of Bochang County, Beihai County.  By this time, the green seedlings had grown. These people rode their horses in the field, causing the green seedlings to stagger. However, everyone bent their bows and flew eagles, only looking after the fields and hunting, and did not care about these young seedlings at all.  "Li Gong is a wealthy man, and he is still so vigorous even in his late seventies." One of them has a fairy-like appearance, outstanding, and a squinting phoenix eye, which is very admiring.  "Taibai I just feel something" "Why, say it directly, Zimei, don't hesitate." "I'm afraid there's something wrong with Mr. Li riding his horse in the field, right?" "Don't worry, Mr. Li is very skilled, even though he is young.  He is long and agile, not inferior to you or me." "Hey what I'm worried about is not Mr. Li's skills, but these young crops." "Hey Zimei is right. If these young crops are stepped on, how will the people live?  " It was Li Bai and Du Fu who spoke. After looking at the worried Du Fu, Li Bai laughed again: "But, Zimei, just don't worry, Mr. Li has his own ideas, and the people here must have been compensated. " Du Fu.  He still felt a little weird in his heart, but seeing that Li Bai was in high spirits, he finally didn't say anything. He felt a little regretful that Gao Shi didn't come with them because he was going to Jiannan to take up his post. If Gao Shi was here, he might be able to persuade him.  . Others were gentle and did not think highly of "Li Gong". Although "Li Gong" valued Li Bai, Li Bai was the same as him and would not persuade "Li Gong" at all.  It was Li Yong, the governor of Beihai County, who was famous throughout the country. Looking at this old celebrity who was nearly seventy years old but still full of energy, Li Bai was filled with envy.  "I remember that Ye Shiyilang once said jokingly that a man's lifelong ambition is to lie drunk on a beautiful woman's knees and gain power over the world. Li Gong is close to this." "It's a pity that you have nothing to do with Ye Shiyilong."  "The whole party failed to catch up," Du Fu said with great regret. He missed Ye Chang and others. When Ye Chang left for the west in June last year, he returned east to Luoyang. This has always been a regret in his heart. "Don't worry, Ye Chang."  With Shiyi's temperament, I'm afraid she can't bear loneliness, and will come out to cause trouble sooner or later.  He is not of the temperament to take the imperial examination, and doing meritorious service on the frontier is the first step to get ahead.  " Li Bai was half-riding, which made Du Fu feel helpless. At the same time, he also began to hesitate in his heart. Is it right for him to focus on the imperial examination? Maybe he would like Ye Chang and Li Bai to find another way to reach the sky? At this moment, everyone started to express their opinions.  He cheered, but it was Li Yong who shot at a fox, and the hound beside him jumped out and brought the fox back. Li Yong smiled and looked around, realizing that Li Bai and Du Fu were not around, so he rode over.  "Li Taibai, what are you talking to Zimei over there? Today I am hunting here because of you. I have never seen your archery skills in Longyou." "I was talking to Zimei about Longyou."  Right thing.  "Li Bai rushed to say, but he was afraid that Du Fu would really talk about the young crops in the fields and dampen Li Yong's interest. "Oh?  " "Remembering Ye Shiyi" Li Bai just mentioned Ye Chang and realized something was wrong. Li Yong's expression suddenly became cold, and his eyes were cold and had evil intentions. "This Ye Shiyi  His reputation has been very popular recently.  "Li Yong said slowly, but interrupted Li Bai's words. "Ye Shiyi is really extraordinary, not comparable to ordinary people.  "Li Bai only said that Li Yong was very interested in Ye Chang, and immediately said: "I am afraid that there is no one like him in the world in terms of economic skills.  " Li Bai knew something about Li Yong. He was very fond of yellow and white things and was very extravagant. He even reached out to the public treasury to satisfy his luxurious life. About twenty years ago, he was imprisoned for embezzlement and misappropriation of public funds.  He was impeached by the then Prime Minister Zhang Shuo and almost died. Fortunately, a man named Kong Zhang wrote to Li Longji, saying that Li Yong was famous for his great achievements and was willing to replace him with himself. So Li Yong was demoted, while Kong Zhang was exiled to Lingnan.  Eventually he died in exile. But Li Yong did not learn from this incident. He still liked to speak loudly. He always thought that he was a prime minister and did not know how to restrain himself.  The pursuit of money somewhat undermined his moral character. Therefore, Li Bai favored him and said that Ye Chang was very good at making money and economics. He saw that Li Yong seemed to have some disdain for Ye Chang, but he didn't know the reason for his disdain.  "Oh, really?  Li Yong really became interested: "This Ye Shiyi is a martial artist Xiuwu, by the way, Yuanming Mansion, weren't you practicing martial arts as a county captain before? Do you know what this person is like?"  "The person being asked was Bochang Ling Yuan Highway. Unlike Li Bai and Du Fu who had recently visited, Yuan Highway had been in Bo Changling's office for two years and was very familiar with Li Yong.   Li Yonghow should I put it? It can be said that he is the kind of person who goes to extremes.  "When Xianguan was practicing martial arts, he did have a relationship with Ye Shiyilang." Thinking of Li Yong's expression just now and the vague rumors, Yuan Gongdao slowly said: "Li Xueshi said that he was good at economics. This is true.  It's true, but this man is a bit like Beihai Gong. "Oh?" "He spends extravagantly and cannot accumulate wealth." Yuan Gongdao said, "I wonder if Beihai Gong will listen to his friendship with Han Chaozong in the capital."  "Li Yong is the governor of Beihai, so Yuan Highway is called Beihai Gong, or Li Beihai.  He nodded and said: "Have you ever heard of this, the time when you donated cement?" "Exactly, the benefits of cement are not inferior to those of salt and iron. Ye Chang just donated them when he said it, which shows his arrogance. Another example is the Jingzhong Football Market.  That's what he did, and he gave it away after changing hands Ye Shiyi is so heroic, it is difficult to have more money in his hands, like the Duke of Beihai." When Yuan Gongdao said this, he laughed in his heart.  Li Yong nodded and laughed.  But his eyes were flashing with light, and he didn't know what he was thinking. "Everyone, after today's fun is over, let's return to Beihai," he waved.  He returned to Beihai, and Yuan Highway returned to Bochang. However, only a few days later, Li Yong's envoy came and summoned him to Beihai.  At this time, Beihai, which was later Weifang, Yuan Highway only said that there was some urgent official business. After arriving, Li Yong invited him to the office and said with a smile: "I got the news yesterday that Ye Shiyi is here." "What?"  ?" Yuan Gongdao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the news.  "This man is also a famous person in the world. He is always easy to make friends with. I originally wanted to invite Li Taibai or Du Zimei, but unexpectedly they have gone to Mount Tai. After thinking about it, I asked Yuan Gong and his party to invite me.  What if you don't listen to Yuan Gong's orders? "How could Yuan Gongdao refuse when his boss ordered him to do so? He was just curious as to why Ye Chang came here at this time.  "I will obey my orders, but I don't know where Ye Shiren is?" "It's in Laizhou." Laizhou has always been an important port and is adjacent to Qingzhou. When he heard that Ye Chang had arrived in Laizhou, Yuan Qiao was even more surprised.  Why did Ye Chang go to Laizhou at this time? Didn't he hear that he went to Longyou?  At this time, the news was not smooth, and Yuan Highway was just a county magistrate, so he did not know about Ye Chang's return from Longyou.  "Without further delay, if we are late, this Ye Shiyi can leave. It would be a great pity to miss him." Li Yong smiled again and said: "Mr. Yuan, you go now." Li Yong was quite fond of Yuan Highway.  He is quite polite and has always been called "Yuan Gong".  Yuan Gongdao was ordered to come out. He was full of doubts, but instead of rushing on, he summoned one of his followers.  "Go and ask Mr. Shen what's going on." After whispering some instructions, Yuan Gongdao finally added: "Don't be stingy with money, we have a rich man to reimburse you this time." Before Laizhou City Shuiguan, these days  But it was very lively with people coming and going, for no other reason than the two sea ships.  The different shape of the ships at that time is only one of its attractive features. The most important thing is that the people who came with the ship recruited water workers in Laizhou - as a port, Laizhou has no shortage of water workers, and the prices offered by the people  , although it does not break the rules, it is 30% more than other companies, which makes many plumbers excited.  Even those fishermen, after calculation, felt that it was more cost-effective to serve as watermen on these two ships.  "Are such good things really possible?" In front of Xie's Restaurant in Laizhou City, fisherman Bian Ping put down his fish basket: "Shopkeeper, please don't kid me."  If you come, I will definitely let you in." The shopkeeper said with a smile: "I won't hide it from you, the person who came here said that I will introduce someone, and if he can use it, he will give me half a pound of money as a thank you gift." Bian Ping couldn't help hearing this.  He sneered: "Shopkeeper Xie, you're rightwhy do you think she looks like a Silla maid who was sold?" "It's okay if you don't believe it. They only recruit sixty plumbers, and there are no plumbers in Laizhou.  There are six to seven hundred out of one thousand, and you are one of them." Hearing what shopkeeper Xie said, Bian Ping was a little suspicious, but he didn't see it. Not far away, there were several people whose faces were blown purple by the sea breeze.  The black men winked at each other.  "Shopkeeper, I have something to trouble me." Before Bian Ping could leave, one of the men stepped forward and said, cupping his hands.  "Oh, sir, what are your orders?" "I am a waterworker. I came here with Mingzhou merchants. Unexpectedly, my master was harsh and abandoned me in Laizhou. I was unable to return home. Now that I have no money, I am right.  I'm looking for a job, but who is this recruiter? Can the shopkeeper recommend me to work for him? " "Ah" Shopkeeper Xie was a little hesitant, looking at these people, they looked quite evil, but at this time  Almost all the people on the sea are like this, and the more they look like this, the more it proves that they are indeed mariners.  "This recruiter of water workers isA martial arts cultivator from South Road named Ye said he wanted to go to sea to find immortals. How dare you go?  " "Going to sea to find immortals?  We brothers have been eating salt water in the sea for twenty years, but we have never seen any immortals" A man muttered. "That Ye Langjun also said that seeking immortals is not a day's work. At the beginning, he only went to sea.  I'll be back in three or five days.  Now the recruitment of watermen is just to teach his own servants how to sail. When he really wants to seek immortality, he is not willing to take outsiders there." When Bian Ping heard this, he couldn't help but feel excited. He thought he was a liar who trafficked people.  Now it seems that he is a man from an aristocratic family with a great business. Even if he doesn't work for the other party, it would be good to see him with his own eyes.  One person squeezed to the side, and then heard the leader say enthusiastically: "Thank you, shopkeeper, that's the case, we are willing, we are willing to work, please help shopkeeper Xie introduce the person to us." Shopkeeper Xie was a little hesitant, and at this time he was the middle man.  This is not a simple matter. If anything goes wrong, he must take responsibility. After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't let go of everyone's half a pound of introduction fee. His small restaurant only made a few dollars a day.  Qian introduced these people, which is almost a day's profit. "I can be the middleman, but you have to explain your place of origin, name, and what you have done. Otherwise, Ye Langjun will ask me  , how should I reply?  "That's natural, that's natural. My name is Wu Dahai. These are my brothers, Wu Dajiang, Wu Dahe, Wu Dadi, Wu Dajiao" He pointed at it in one breath, and the shopkeeper felt his eyes were dazzled.  Okay, these people's names are very foreign, and they always sound a bit weird. Shopkeeper Xie secretly wrote it down, then called a waiter to look at the restaurant, and he led the Wu brothers towards the water gate for more than ten steps.  Realizing that in addition to the Wu brothers, Bian Ping was also following. Shopkeeper Xie turned around and said with a smile: "Bian Qi, aren't you afraid that those people are liars, why are you following them?  " "Haha, you have to come and take a look. You, a black-hearted shopkeeper who sells fish to fish, can't even touch a woman in this life.  " "Say someone has a bad heart?  You are the one with a black heart, you deserve to be poor and single." "You are not a black heart, why do you want to be one of these foreigners, but don't care about me, a fellow countryman?  " The two of them bickered all the way there. Although they laughed and cursed, neither of them was really angry. When they arrived at the water gate, they looked out and saw two shiny ships parked on the pier. The two ships looked the same.  They were all one long mast and one topmast, the style of the mast was almost weird, and the sail on it was a soft sail, not the commonly used hard sail. The Wu brothers were all amazed when they saw it. Only Wu Dajiao felt a little regretful.  : "This boat is still a bit small There is no need for sixty people, unless we are recruiting oarsmen, right?"  " "You don't care about him so much, as long as you recruit people, that's good.  Wu Dahai said impatiently: "The size of the boat is just right. If it's too big, we may not be able to row it."  " Bian Ping glanced at them. The sixty people were divided into two boats. There were thirty people in each boat. Adding in the sailor named Ye, there would be a big boat that could not be rowed by dozens of people. Unless  It was a huge stern ship of the navy. "Ye Langjun, Ye Langjun" Bian Ping was just thinking about the meaning of Wu Dahai's words when he saw shopkeeper Xie jogging a few steps and smiling at a young man.  The young man is probably the captain. He looks to be less than twenty years old, but his face is very young. He is obviously a member of a well-known family, so he has so much money to spend on someone of his age. "Thank you, shopkeeper, yes."  Why is it so expensive?  "Ye Chang looked at Shopkeeper Xie who was running towards him and said. "Of course I recommend someone to Ye Langjun." Shopkeeper Xie smiled.
