If the original Duli Town is now silent, then the newly built Lushun is in full swing, with people everywhere. There has been a large open space on the seaside. The large trees that can be used and the firewood that can be burned into charcoal have been cut down and piled up in categories. The remaining weeds and shrubs have been burned to death. "Eleventh Lang, your progress is really nothing to say." Ye Shu admired this place, which was changing almost every day. "This is all for building a home for themselves, how could they not put in the effort?" Ye Chang said with a smile. How to make workers work harder, in today's situation, the effect of increasing pay has reached its limit, and the rest is to take advantage of these people's eagerness to have a new home. They know that what they are building is their own home, a place for their parents, wives and children to live, so it is naturally easier for them to get involved in doing things. "Brother-in-law, how is the kiln?" Ye Chang happened to see Liu Kun coming over, and Ye Chang stopped him and asked. "The eight kilns have all been fired solidly, and bricks and charcoal can be fired below," Liu Kun said with a smile. "Okay, let's rely on my brother-in-law to make a fortune." After four years of hard work, Liu Kun can now be said to be a master of kilns, including brick kilns, charcoal kilns, porcelain kilns, pottery kilns, and even kilns that make steel, iron, and glaze. He knew everything by heart. Among the first group of people who came to Liaodong this time, Ye Chang specially invited him. Liu Kun was still a little in love with his family and didn't want to leave Xiuwu, but Sister Ye Chang was very supportive. The wind blew from his pillow and brought Liu Kun over. "It's all up to me. If it weren't for Shi Yilang, how would I have this ability?" Liu Kun was a little embarrassed. "Brother-in-law, please plan when the glass kiln can be erected. Now that the brick kiln has been completed, what's next? I just went to look for materials for making glass. "The reason why Ye Chang fled overseas at this time is precisely related to Liu Kun. Liu Kun's mastery of the kiln has reached the point where he can open a kiln to make steel and make glass. The profits from both were huge, and even if the Tang Dynasty was tolerant, it would never allow these two industries to escape the control of the government. Even with Ye Chang's financial resources, he can't help but feel timid when he comes to Lushun to support this stall. So far, he has only seen investment but no output. Therefore, glass and steelmaking must be planned as soon as possible, even if the scale is comparable first. A small workshop can at least generate income. Liu Kun nodded in agreement, and then Ye Chang had time to turn around and look at Qian Mouding, who was nodding and bowing not far away, and walked over. "Is this the envoy from Qingnipu?" Ye Chang asked. "That's the villain." "What's your purpose here? I killed Gao Baosheng and Wang Nai, but they all said that it was you Qingnipu who instigated the behind-the-scenes. Is this true or false?" "Unjust, Commander, unjust " Ye Chang is just a guard. For this position, it is okay to call him a general, but to call him a commander is just to flatter Mou Ding. He took a careful look at Ye Chang and felt that this Shou Zhuo was really young, but his demeanor was extraordinary and he was truly like a heavenly being. He was indeed worthy of being a figure in the country. Thinking of this, he felt more and more that he deserved to be here. He bent down and saluted. With a flattering smile on his face: "Commander, that Gao Baosheng has always been full of nonsense. In the past, my Ming Dynasty had reprimanded him, but he pretended to be disobedient. Because there is no clear decree from the court, it is difficult for my Ming Dynasty to punish him. As for Wei Zi Wang Nai of the village is even more treacherous and vicious. The commander must not be deceived by him. When my Ming Dynasty learned that the commander had got rid of these two animals, they sent a villain here to send congratulatory gifts and invite him. "Shuai Xiaona." After he finished speaking, he gestured behind him. Ye Chang looked over and saw several strong men carrying the box. At this time, he opened the box and revealed the contents. They are all local goods, such as mink skin, ginseng, pearls, etc. The most precious thing is the white tiger skin. Ye Chang's brows trembled, white tiger skin Although this thing is beautiful, in fact Ye Chang cannot use it well. If he uses it well, it will exceed the limit. And although Ye Chang himself likes luxury, white tiger skin is not very attractive to him. In his opinion, it is just the skin of an albino tiger. ????????????????????????????????????????????????? "Well, your master is Ping Guoling?" Ye Chang asked. "Exactly, according to the law of the imperial court, the county magistrates of Andong are all elected from the local area. The head of the family has been Pingguo Ling for three generations. He has always been loyal to the imperial court." Three generations of Pingguo Ling. Guo Ling, it was obvious that he had already been entrenched on one side when the Bohai Kingdom invaded twenty years ago. If the Bohai Kingdom's army did not destroy him by the way, he must be a two-pronged thing. The smile on Ye Chang's face was still there, and he said: "That's it I am now holding a second post, serving as a guard of Xiangping and a recorder of Jili Prefecture, and joining the army. This Pingguo Ling is my subordinate." This young Tang official also had the position of "recording affairs in Jili Prefecture and joining the army". Qian Mouding suddenly felt a shiver in his heart: It was a military duty to guard Xiangping and could not control Qingnipu. However, it was not the case to record affairs in Jili Prefecture and join the army. The army can be used by the people. Strictly speaking, Pingguo County is under his rule. "I have never heard that Lizhou has set up a record to join the army Moreover, this Anton ZhuAren't the chief officials of the state served by the chiefs of various local ethnic groups? "Qian Mouding asked cautiously: "The imperial court appointed a general to come here, is it to change his mind? " "You speak Chinese very well, and you know how to change your tune. " "My heart is devoted to Sinology, and I have been reading the Classics and History of the Tang Dynasty since I was a child. " "It's not that the imperial court wants to change its tune. I'm here as a special case. As for why, I can't tell you. Ye Chang smiled: "From now on, the administrative offices of Jili Prefecture and Xiangping Shouchuo will be placed here in Lushun. Since you are the envoy sent by Gao Song, go back and tell himcome here to see me." " "Yes Yes. "Qian Mou Ding said this, but he disagreed with it in his heart. There is no way Gao Song would leave his hometown and come here. When the time comes, he will report illness and be dragged down. "I want to build a city here, but I am short of manpower. You came just in time to ask Gao Song to present the household registration of Qingnipu so that he could recruit people for corvee service. Ye Chang added: "This matter is related to a major plan of the imperial court and must be handled well. You should explain this matter clearly to your county magistrate - there will be great benefits if it is handled well." " "Big benefit? " "In this Jili Prefecture, I am the only official now. Let alone the governor, there are others like Biejia and Sima. If they do well, your county magistrate will rarely be promoted." Ye Chang said with white teeth: "You know, I am a Han official and have been working here for a short time, but your county magistrate is different. He has been Ping Guo Ling for three generations. Maybe after a few decades, his family has been Ji Ling for three generations." Where is the governor of the state? " Finally, Ye Chang glanced at this guy and added: "At that time, you can also become a county magistrate in Jili Prefecture. Since you are good at Chinese studies, you must also have a lot of ambitions. . " Qian Mou Ding's eyes suddenly lit up. These words were just right for him. He had learned Chinese studies well, especially the scholar's pursuit of power. He couldn't be more intense. He even thought about going to Chang'an to participate in the competition. Imperial examination. Ye Chang had already figured out his character from his clothes and conversation. In another life, this was an ability that an ordinary salesman must possess, but not many people could master it in this life. Seeing his excited expression, Ye Chang was shocked. He secretly made a note, looked at the gifts, and said with a smile: "Originally, I should give you something, but since you are a scholar, ordinary things may not be in your eyes. How about this Ye An, take a volume of Li Taibai's poems The money comes, the kind signed by Li Taibai. " "What? "At this time, Li Bai's poetry was extremely famous in Bohai, Silla and Japan. Literary and refined scholars had heard of his name, but only some of his poems had been circulated. Therefore, it is really a good idea to get a volume of Li Bai's new poems. Something that excited the literati in these places. "Oh, Li Taibai and I are close friends, so he sent me some books, and I just happened to pass them on to people who know treasures. "Ye Chang smiled and said: "I think Mr. Xiang has a good conversation and must be an elegant man. Sending this book of poems to you is not an entrustment to someone else. " Qian Mou Ding was so excited that his whole body was trembling. After he got the volume of poems, he looked at the front cover. It was an ink painting of a person holding a bottle to the moon. It also had the words "Li Taibai Poetry Notes" printed on it. Then he looked through the inside. On the title page, there are seven characters written "To my brother Ye Shiyi Huicun" and the signature is "Brother Yu Taibai bows his head". Before he could turn the inside page, Qian Mouding fell down and bowed to Ye Chang. : "Ye Canjun gave it a generous gift, and someone must have collected it as a family heirloom. " This is probably a family treasure, and the loyalty will skyrocket. Ye Chang had a bad taste in his heart, but he also knew that giving away just a volume of poems could gain a certain degree of favor from Qian Mou Ding, but it could really win him over. He, that's still a long way off. "I am also interested in spreading Sinology here, so I have printed quite a few collections of classics and history. At this time, I also have plans for collections of works by famous poets. If you are interested, I will give away more in the future." Some. I only hope that Mr. Xiang Lang can spread Sinology so that even the ends of the world can be bathed in the glory of saints. " "If you dare to do it without any effort," Xiong Mou Ding bowed again. Ye Chang said with a smile: "If there is nothing else, Xiang Langjun, please do it yourself. I am still busy here. " Qian Mou Ding bowed and retreated, wrapping the book of poems in cloth. After he walked away, Ye An said with some regret: "Eleventh Master, didn't you say that this book can become a family heirloom in the future? Why? I gave it to this guy. "Oh, I asked Li Taibai to write more than three hundred books for me last time. If you want, I can also give you one." Ye Chang said. "Ah?" "Otherwise, because of Li Taibai's publicity, he would only write a few words? It took him two days to finish. If I hadn't promised him a good drink, he would have given up writing long ago." Ye An Thinking of Li Bai sitting there signing books one by one, I suddenly felt sweating: I signed three hundred books I'm afraid my hands are exhausted. "However, this is a way. I have to find a way to make Confucian scholars in Silla, Bohai and Japan like Li Taibai's poems Well, let's make up some jokes and spread them, and then a collection of poems signed by Li Taibai will be enough. It will come in handy." Ye Chang murmured to himself: "Making stars is to create stars. This is considered soft power, exporting culture and value.Right? " Ye An didn't quite understand these words. He just thought that if this was true, Li Bai would probably be invited to sign a special autograph. At that time, I'm afraid it wouldn't be enough for just 300 copies. " Naturally, Qian Mou Ding didn't know how to take it back by himself. It was a book that Ye Chang asked Li Bai to sign in bulk. He thought it was a unique treasure. He originally wanted to put it in his luggage, but later decided to wrap it in three layers of oil paper and oilcloth and tie it to himself. He had an important mission and did not dare to stay any longer. He returned to the original ship the next day - at least some of the Tang Dynasty goods stored in the capital were on board. After returning to Qingnipu, Gao Song summoned him as soon as possible. Question: "Qian Mou Ding, you went this time to spy on the reality of the Tang people. What was the result?" " "Ming Gong, the people of Tang Dynasty are powerful. With the power of Qingnipu, we can't defeat them." Qian Mouding looked solemn. "Nonsense, I don't want to go to war with Tang State. I am still the county magistrate of Tang State¡ª¡ª But do you know how many soldiers and horses the Tang official in the capital has? " "There are two thousand strong soldiers in hand, and there are also two thousand newly recruited militiamen, a total of four thousand." "What, four thousand soldiers and horses, so many, does the Tang Dynasty want to move the Anton capital to the east again? Gao Song stood up from his seat in shock: "These four thousand people are just vanguards, aren't they? If anyone comes, prepare a boat for me, and I will go to meet him quickly." If the Tang Dynasty really came from the east, it would only have three to four hundred thousand soldiers. How dare he, a small person like Qingnipu, stand in front of him? The Goguryeo people of Liaodong were all broken by the Tang Dynasty. It was lucky that they were not taken away by the Tang Dynasty twice. He still has the desire to restore the country, but he will never dare to show it in front of the Tang Dynasty. "Mingfu, please be safe and listen to me. "Qian Mou Ding couldn't help but feel a little underestimated in his heart. He thought of the young and handsome Ye Canjun of the Tang Dynasty, and then looked at the fat and sweaty Gao Mingfu in front of him. He sighed secretly: "The Tang Dynasty is not trying to conquer the East. When he moved to Andong as the governor, Ye Canjun had other important tasks, but he was a humble man. He didn't want to talk to the villain, but just listened to his words. Although the Tang Dynasty had successors, there would not be many soldiers and horses. " "I see, it would have been better if you hadn't said it earlier, that would have been good" Gao Song sat back in his seat and said lazily. "Even so, Ye Canjun's official position turned out to be Jili Prefecture Recorder and joined the army, but He is now the immediate boss of Mingfu, so he ordered Mingfu to visit him. " "Oh, that's not a bad tone. Let him wait. After ten or eight years, when I am in a better mood, I may go and see him. "Gao Song said disdainfully. "The Tang Dynasty didn't come with a large army, so he has nothing to fear. He is a smart man and naturally knows not to leave his lair. If he really goes to see Ye Chang and is held there as a hostage, then there will be There is no return. ¡°Yes, yes, my humble position means that I am not feeling well. I will visit you when I feel better. But in the Ming Dynasty, Ye Canjun must not be offended. He has strong soldiers and horses. If he is really in trouble with me, I'm afraid it would be better to recruit him for help. " "Invite it for help? " "Isn't the pressure on us from the north now not too light? The Tang people have a strategy called driving away wolves and devouring tigers. We are respectful to Ye Canjun on the face of it. Whatever he wants, we can provide it at a discount without breaking our bones. Yes, but you can ask for it from the north, just say that it is Ye Canjun's conquest. If the two families fight, we can benefit from it" "Wait a minute, what is driving away wolves and devouring tigers, and what is benefiting from it? " "Ahem" Qian Mouding choked and coughed.
