Chen Xilie had already left and was meeting others Ye Chang immediately understood that Li Linfu was leaving him alone. Having been in Chang'an for so long, although I sent many people to send gifts and greetings, it would be rude not to visit me at home. Not following Li Linfu's hint and looking for someone to propose marriage was a disappointment. Being rude and disappointed, Li Linfu just ignored him, which was still a minor matter. And Ye Chang felt somewhat guilty for Li Tengkong. Since they met, it can be said that Li Tengkong has never asked for anything from him, only silently given to him. Although this kind of dedication sometimes causes him some trouble, from a man's perspective it's still quite satisfying. ¡°For Li Tengkong¡¯s sake, let him be hung out, at least he hasn¡¯t been kicked out yet, right? Ye Chang thought about this all afternoon, and his stomach was already growling with hunger, but until the drum sounded at dusk, Li Linfu didn't call him in to meet him. Just a housekeeper came out to send him away: "It's getting late today, please come back first, Ye Langjun, please come early tomorrow." He was sent away like this. In addition to a full stomach of tea, Ye Chang was not even given a piece of tea. After Ye Chang left, the housekeeper returned to Yuetang. Li Linfu was sitting there reading the official documents, while Tengkong stood behind him and tapped his back gently. "Is that guy gone?" Li Linfu didn't even raise his eyes. "Gone." The butler replied. "How is your expression? Is there any resentment?" "I don't see any resentment." "What about the look of shame?" "There is no shame either." Li Linfu finally put down the official document in his hand and sighed softly. He is very optimistic about Ye Chang. His son is mediocre. Only Li Xiu has some vision. However, although he can see the problems, he does not have the strategies and emergency talents to solve them. In order to climb up, I have offended too many people. At this point, I have no choice but to move forward. Even wanting to stay still is extremely dangerous. "Kong Niang, this guy's thoughts are unpredictable. I'm starting to wonder if he is a good candidate" Li Linfu murmured. "Aye, what are you talking about? Kong Niang doesn't marry." Li Teng gave his father a blank look, revealing a side of Ye Chang that he had never seen before, and pressed Li Linfu's neck hard. Li Linfu hissed: "I'm going to tear you apart, Aye." "Isn't this old bone?" "Who told Aye to talk nonsense?" Li Tengkong said this, but his eyes were a little sad, as if he saw the look of the insect lady declaring her territory again. "Kong Niang is a father's most precious treasure. If there is not a capable, talented and sincere Kong Niang, the father will not be at ease" This is true, but it is not complete. Li Linfu knew that after his death, his family No guarantee, Kong Niang is the most pure and kind, but after being overturned, An has intact eggs. If she can't find someone who likes her and can protect her, it's better to let her become a real monk, at least she can have a safe life. "Aye, I won't pay attention to you anymore." "Okay, let's not talk anymore That guy has been hungry for most of the day today. Do you think he will come again tomorrow morning?" Li Tengkong hesitated: Yes, tomorrow, Will Ye Chang come again? "I can't not go. If I didn't go today, I don't have to go. But since I went today, I can't go tomorrow, and it doesn't matter if I go late." Ye Chang returned to the house, and Cen Shen asked him about his departure. , he replied with a wry smile. "It's hateful that Li Linfu has so much power that no one in the court can control him. Li Shizhi and his like are worse than him." Cen Shen was still a little enthusiastic at this time, so he cursed. Ye Chang, on the other hand, didn't take this treatment seriously. He just left him alone for a long time. Now he has nothing urgent to do in Chang'an. He just needs to wait for the court to decide on the matter of Jili Prefecture before he can return to Liaodong. Waiting for a long time is nothing. He has had the experience of being the master of the country for decades in front of some grassroots civil servants who are called public servants. "I think drying is better than not drying. If you drive me away directly, then I might have to escape from Chang'an overnight." Ye Chang said with a smile: "Hangping just gave me some lessons, that's all. The lessons are enough. Of course it will be fine. "You are open-minded Speaking of this, there is one thing, I don't know whether you are open-minded or not. "Cen Shen took out a piece of paper as he spoke and pushed it in front of Ye Chang. Since he decided to follow Ye Chang to Liaodong, he had to familiarize himself with some things in advance. The position Ye Chang imagined for him was to train the Jili Prefecture League The secretary in charge is actually responsible for all official correspondence between Ye Chang and the court and all official document processing with subordinate officials, which is equivalent to the affairs of a secretary. Cen Shen has never held a similar position before, so he needs to get familiar with it, so now. Ye Chang began to hand over the information collected by all parties to him, and asked him to make suggestions first. The paper pushed in front of Ye Chang was some people in Chang'an City.One of the messages was highlighted by Cen Shen with a cinnabar pen. Ye Chang glanced at it and saw the content. His expression changed slightly, and then he laughed. "Shiyilang, are you still laughing?" "Of course you have to laugh, okay, okay." Ye Chang not only laughed, but was also overjoyed. He found the content of the message very interesting. Wang Yuanbao took the lead and contacted wealthy businessmen in Beijing and some clan dignitaries, preparing to set sail into the sea to find the Aolai country that Ye Chang talked about. "Eleventh Master, the glass from Aolai Country is of great use to Liaodong, and it is also of great use to you." Cen Shen said anxiously: "Liaodong is now very poor in products. Whether it is rations or soldiers' armor, they need to spend a lot of money to buy them." , and hiring manpower, I saw the book you gave me, the cost is twice as much as the profit made by Zhongyuan Glass, which is not a small supplement. Moreover, the profit from the glass is used to pay dividends to the noble ladies in the capital. Even though we are in Liaodong, we still have strong support from Beijing" "These things were not told to him by Ye Chang, but analyzed by him himself. Ye Chang was very satisfied when he heard him talk about this. He originally thought that the best secretary-general should be the cripple Feng Changqing, but Feng Changqing has now been reused by Gao Xianzhi and is fighting for life and death in the Western Regions. Even if you want to poach people, you can't do it in a few months. Now it seems that Cen Shen lacks both vision and brains. The only thing he lacks is practical experience. "No one else knows about this, I can only tell Brother Cen." After Ye Chang finished laughing, he gestured to the guards beside him, who understood and went out. Ye Chang then lowered his voice: "That Ao Laiguo is a lie." "What, this is deceiving the emperor" Cen Shen stood up in shock, then covered his mouth with his hands and stared at Ye Chang. Ye Chang's honest confession was also a test for him. Cen Shen was shocked for a moment, then sat down again, thought for a while, and his expression returned to normal. "Brother Cen knows about this, but even his wife and children at home cannot tell it, including Zhang HaoBrother Cen and I can be honest with each other. Although Zhang Hao is willing to help me, I can only see his heart. If you work with them, you can't share the same crime." Ye Chang said with a smile. "YesI understand." Cen Shen nodded solemnly, but at the same time he was a little happy. Zhang Hao was very resourceful and agreed to help Ye Chang, and he made great achievements in dealing with Li Xiao. Although Cen Shen was his recommender, while he was happy for him, he was also slightly worried. If Ye Chang found someone new and forgot about the old one, he would be at a loss. Now that Ye Chang showed that he trusted him more, he was naturally slightly happy. "Don't tell me where this glassware came from." Cen Shen added, "If one person knows less, there will be less chance of leaks." "It doesn't matter, I only hope that the glassware can make three to five years of profit. Even if someone knew how I got the glassware, it wouldn't be possible for me to make it within three to five years. "This is what Ye Chang said sincerely. He himself knew the glass production process, but he started researching it from the first year of Tianbao to Tianbao. It took four years to finally come up with the research, which took more than three years and tens of thousands of dollars invested. If others start to do it now, it will not take any shorter time than him. However, Cen Shen himself wanted to avoid suspicion, and Ye Chang would not force him to tell him the secret. He just smiled and said: "Besides, this is not the only way I can make money. If this time goes well and the Jili Prefecture team training is really successful, then I can set up an iron camp, and the iron tools will also be a source of income. In addition, there will be salt" "Salt cannot be sold without authorization, the court has its own laws," Cen Shen said, shaking his head. "What if I sell it to Silla, Bohai, and the barbarians deep in the grasslands?" Ye Chang laughed and said: "The court's laws cannot be controlled there. I want to use my salt, I cloth, and my glass, in exchange for all the cattle, sheep, and horses of those barbarians, so that they can graze for us Han people in peace. I will use my steel, my iron, to find a parking space for my Han people's carriages. "Position" This was a big statement, but Cen Shen's blood boiled when he heard it. After responding, he felt very excited about poetry and started scratching his head and reciting poetry. Wang Yuanbao¡¯s only way to fight back against the pressure Ye Chang put on him was to find Aolai Country. If he can find the Aolai Kingdom and prevent Ye Chang from monopolizing the benefits of glass, his glass shop foundation will still have a chance to reincarnate, otherwise he will be eliminated in the cruel competition. It is precisely with this awareness that he has not stopped for a moment in the past few days, running to the homes of wealthy businessmen and powerful people, with only two purposes. "Your Majesty, please come in and meet me." Early in the morning, Wang Yuanbao came to Princess Xianyi's mansion. This princess was very popular with Li Longji back then. Li Longji even visited her mansion in person. However, since Yang Yuhuan became favored, , she gradually became alienated. The person Wang Yuanbao hopes to persuade the most is, of course, Princess Yuzhen. However, Princess Yuzhen had already taken action in the last ball market. Now Princess Yuzhen relies heavily on Ye Zhenzhen for cotton cultivation. Chang, and Ye Chang had already bypassed her and could directly contact Li Longji in the palace, so Princess Yuzhen refused Wang Yuanbao's invitation. And this consort Yang Hui is probably one of the few clan dignitaries who have no interest connection with Ye Chang at all.According to Wang Yuanbao's information, Yang Hui and Ye Chang had a very bad relationship. As for the source of the discord, he knew very well. Ye Chang's elder brother Ye Shu came to Chang'an to serve in the army, but was killed by the steward of the Princess Palace on the pretext of stealing. Later, Ye Chang went to Beijing for the first time to welcome back his brother's remains. During that visit, the steward of the Princess Palace turned out to be a thief for no reason. booby trap. Wang Yuanbao only regretted that he got the news too late. It was only after he took control of the ball market that he accidentally learned it from a manager of the ball market, who was the ranger of Chang'an. It is said that this group of "thieves" is also related to Ye Chang, but because there is no conclusive evidence, it cannot be used to accuse Ye Chang. Now, even if there is conclusive evidence, there are too many accusations against Ye Chang - Ye Chang avenges his brother out of righteousness. With his current influence, there are many people who can speak for Ye Chang. The most likely thing is nothing more than a fine to atone for his sins. Wang Yuanbao just doesn't know whether Princess Xianyi understands the relationship between his family and Ye Chang. After sorting out his thoughts, Wang Yuanbao followed the steward into the living room of the princess's mansion. Princess Xianyi's consort Yang Huigao sat on it. When he saw him coming, he nodded. "The king is not at home to receive blessings. I don't know why you came here." Yang Hui's words were very polite, but his attitude was very arrogant. Even if Princess Xianyi was not as favored as before, his status and power had not changed much. After all, he and Li Linfu once stood on the same front. "The villain came to pay homage to the Prince Consort. He has something to ask for help." Wang Yuanbao got straight to the point: "The villain wants to build a ship to visit the Aolai Kingdom, but it is just a matter of court law that ordinary people are not allowed to build ships and go to sea" "Aolai Kingdom? Wang Weng is already so rich that he still thinks about the treasures of the Aolai Kingdom? " "The profit from more than a hundred pieces of glassware is one hundred thousand yuan, and this is only in Chang'an." Wang Yuanbao lowered his head and said: "In those days. Judging from the bidding situation, the villain estimates that there is no problem in selling half a million pieces of glassware in Chang'an City a year. Luoyang will not be inferior to this number, and there will be Bianzhou, Yangzhou and other prosperous places if it can be sold again. In the Western Region, this alone has an annual income of two million yuan. The villain is said to be as rich as the enemy, but in fact, only one tenth of the two million yuan is enough for the villain to make a lot of money. The bowl is full. " "Haha, it's not that easy. Let alone where Aolai is, how can you compete with Ye Chang?" Yang Wei's voice trembled slightly when he mentioned Ye Chang's name. When Wang Yuanbao discovered this, he felt a little strange. Yang Hui seemed to be very afraid of Ye Chang Why is this? But now he has an arrow on the string and has no choice but to take action. Therefore, he said in a deep voice: "With the help of the consort, the villain can defeat Ye Chang. Back then, with the help of Princess Yuzhen, the villain defeated him in the football market. This time, with the help of the consort and Princess Xianning, the villain will be able to defeat him." You can even beat him in glassware." "Then why should my family help you?" Yang Hui chuckled, feeling that Princess Yuzhen was unwise back then. If Ye Chang hadn't been hurt by the ball market incident, how could Ye Chang have lost a huge profit from Princess Yuzhen this time because of the glass incident? "Because helping me means helping the consort." Wang Yuanbao whispered: "Little People learned that Ye Chang's brother was Ye Shu." Yang Hui's heart suddenly jumped: "Ye Shu? So what?" "Back then, Yang Fu from your mansion beat Ye Shu to death in the West Market. Chang came to greet the coffin, so he first entered Chang'an." Wang Yuanbao did not mention that he suspected that Yang Fu's death was related to Ye Chang. There was no need to mention it at all. With Yang Hui's intelligence, he would think about it. Yang Hui frowned, and this time a look of astonishment finally appeared on his face
