    These two conditions of Ye Chang made An Lushan very moved and gave him a good word in Beijing. This was something he spent a lot of money to do in Chang'an City every year, and his efforts were not in vain, which meant that he could also do it in An Lushan.  The Eastern Chamber of Commerce will get a share of the profits, but An Lushan has his own ideas.  Rather than letting the Anton Chamber of Commerce do business on his territory, it would be better for him to control the trade network himself. As long as the Anton Chamber of Commerce is responsible for providing the goods he needs, he can sell them under his own rule and even to various grassland tribes.  To exchange for furs, livestock and treasures, and then transport these to the Central Plains to sell for profit.  Thinking of this, An Lushan smiled.  "This is absolutely unacceptable. If any prohibited items get into the hands of Khitans and Xi people, what should we do?" He said, "It's not like this. If you want to sell anything, give it to me and I will sell it on your behalf."  , and then transfer the profit to you." Gao Shang couldn't help but shook his head when he heard that Anlu Mountain's two towns were bargaining with Ye Chang like a peddler.  He forgot that although An Lushan is in a high position now, when he was young, An Lushan was a native of Fanshiya.  Even now, Anlu Mountain can raise such a large number of soldiers. In addition to plundering the place, it is also one of the reasons why it organizes trade with Fanhu from various places.  But Yan Zhuang was in high spirits and whispered something in An Lushan's ear.  Yan Zhuang knew very well that raising troops cost a lot of money. Anlushan now had thousands of troops in Yiluohe, and he planned to expand this number to six thousand - which could not be supported by the small amount of food and salary allocated by the court every year.  There are taxes from Fanyang and Pinglu towns, but after all, the money still needs to support the two towns' garrison.  If you can get hundreds of thousands of guan from the trade route every year, it will be very simple to raise 6,000 Yiluohe.  "Doctor An is very calculating. Wouldn't it be unprofitable for me to do this?" Ye Chang pondered for a while, and then slowly said: "Well, as far as I know, there are some things I need under Dr. An's rule.  "What?" "What do you need?" An Lushan frowned: "What's there?" "Wood, coal, ore, wool, livestock, grain."  "Ye Chang said with a smile.  "I don't have enough food at home, so don't worry about it." An Lushan said, "What will you give in exchange?" "Cloth, salt, glassware, daily necessities and even a small amount of ironware." Ye Chang said.  When An Lushan heard about salt and ironware, his eyes suddenly lit up. No matter how vulgar he was, he knew that the profits from both were huge. As for the cloth, he only thought of it as silk and linen, but he didn't take it seriously. Glassware was fine.  Sold at a high price as a luxury product, it is also the product he hopes for.  "Okay, it's settled in one word," An Lushan shouted.  "Dr. An is so happy. Then I also have a generous gift for Dr. An. There are iron mines under the rule of Anshi Prefecture. Dr. An can send people to explore." Ye Chang said.  "Iron ore is there iron ore in the ore you want?" An Lushan's expression changed.  "If there is no iron ore, how can I sell ironware?" Ye Chang responded.  An Lushan couldn't help but hesitate, and said in a low voice: "You can't accept it. If he can smelt iron, he can make ordnance, which will be a trouble in the future." Yan Zhuang said: "If we don't sell him, someone will sell him. Besides, he  No matter how many manpower there is, how many pieces of ordnance can be made by smelting it into iron, exchanging it for us, and then melting it into weapons for us. He spent his energy, but in the end he got an advantage from us." An Lushan felt that what Yan Zhuang said was even more  It makes sense. If Ye Chang wants to gain a foothold in Liaodong, facing the pressure from the surrounding forces, he can't do it without weapons.  But his manpower is limited, and unlike An Lushan who controls one of the most important smelting bases in the Tang Dynasty, even if he sends ore to him, the iron he can smelt is also very limited.  ¡° And this ore trade route is also one of An Lushan¡¯s means to control Ye Chang¡¯s development.  "Okay, it's up to you." An Lushan said decisively.  "In that case, please send someone from Doctor An to Jian'anzhou City to discuss with the people I appointed how to trade with each other. The place where we will trade will be at the mouth of the Liao River." Ye Chang said.  The two of them agreed on the matter. As for the details, they will naturally discuss it later.  Seeing that the conversation between the two parties had faded, Ye Chang smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Doctor An, I'll say goodbye." An Lushan got what he wanted. Although he was initially angry because of Li Huaiyu's death, most of it had dissipated by now.  .  Although he still secretly hated Ye Chang in his heart, he wrote down this account for the time being and would settle it later.  "In this case, I won't keep you. From now on, you and I will work together more." He smiled and said, "That's natural." Ye Chang waved his hand.  Although they smiled on their faces, they both sneered in their hearts. This kind of agreement seemed to be good for you and me, but in fact it was just a tree without roots and water without a source, and it had no binding force on either party.  It's just that both parties feel that this agreement is beneficial to them, so they can settle it.  Watching Ye Chang go away in the boat, An Lushan¡¯s face was full of joy.The smile suddenly faded and became a little ferocious.  "Doctor An, although Ye Chang's boat is big, it doesn't have a boat tower. We are condescending and can destroy it with one blow." Someone said: "Why didn't the doctor just give the order to take action?" "Exactly, Doctor An can't be merciful to that child.  , He just wants to trade, it would be better for us to seize his Jili Prefecture and let Dr. An serve as the general manager of the Liaodong March." "That little thief was arrogant and domineering just now. Even if we don't get rid of him, we should teach him a lesson." "Nonsense."  Without waiting for An Lushan's response, Yan Zhuang had already reprimanded the man: "Ye Chang dares to be so domineering, how can he not have a backup plan? Perhaps he just wanted to anger Doctor An, so that he could take advantage of the opportunity and keep an eye on An.  There are more than one or two people in the doctor's position. Although Li Xianggong is treating Doctor An well now, everyone in the world knows that he has a hidden sword in his mouth. If Ye Chang instigates him, wouldn't you give Li Xiang the truth by taking action?  ?" An Lushan waved his hand: "Stop talking" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of water outside the boat, and then several fish flew up and landed on the deck.  Then I heard someone laughing and saying: "Ye Sima invites Dr. An to eat fish." This sudden change made everyone stunned. Someone stretched his head and looked under the boat and saw several people in the water, each wearing a leather water support.  , cutting through the waves, chasing Ye Chang's boat.  These people have obviously been hiding under Anlushan's ship for a while, but they just suddenly made a noise. Although there are warriors on Anlushan's ship, no one knows that there are still people hidden under them. If these people are there  Under water, they dug through the ship's planks. Although An Lushan's ship was large, I was afraid it wouldn't be able to support it for long.  Although the warriors on the boat were all skilled with bows and horses, they could only turn into drowned rats when they fell into the water. Everyone on the boat thought about this, and everyone looked horrified. The few people who had just shouted to teach Ye Chang a lesson looked at each other in even more confusion.  "Tsk, tsk, there really is a warrior under Ye Chang's tent. In such weather, he has been lurking in the water for such a long time." After a while, someone clicked his tongue.  "Exactly How can you stay in the water for a long time in such a cold weather?" An Lushan's face darkened again. Ye Chang arranged for these people to retreat quietly, but before leaving, they caught  He caught the fish and threw it on the boat, which was clearly a demonstration. But he had to admit that at least on the Liao River, Ye Chang had enough capital to demonstrate. Although there were many people under his tent dragging down the river, few of them could be so proficient in water skills and  Can withstand the cold.  He didn¡¯t know that although Ye Chang had a small number of troops, he had a dedicated navy establishment from the beginning, and for navy members, winter swimming was one of the most basic conditions.  Ye Chang has more than a hundred of such people in his hands. "These people can even swim for a long time in the sea, let alone in this small Liaohe River."  Everyone watched as the seven or eight people swam past like this. Someone asked An Lushan, "Doctor An, are you going to let them go back like this?" "Let them go back. Aren't we prepared for what happened today?" An.  Lushan was silent for a while, and then his face twitched.  He swallowed this breath because he had to swallow it and he had to swallow it.  So what if he shot those people, the agreement he had just reached with Ye Chang would be in vain.  Before Anshi City and the Khitan heads were obtained, An Lushan was unwilling to fall out, even if he lost a little face because of it, it didn't matter.  Who made his soldiers dissatisfied and unable to achieve a decisive victory on the battlefield, especially when it was contrasted by Ye Chang's great victory in Liaodong? "Doctor An, Ye Chang must be vigilant against him. His victory in Liaodong  Doctor An must send people to investigate every move." Gao Shang said.  "That's right." An Lushan fully agreed with this.  Yan Zhuang was a little depressed when he saw the morale of everyone. Obviously, Ye Chang had the upper hand in this meeting, especially his actions of shooting Li Huaiyu and sending people to hide under the boat, which embarrassed An Lushan's subordinates.  He smiled and said: "Why are you so important? Today is a happy day." "A happy day?" Someone said angrily: "Where does the happiness come from?" "Ye Chang was forced by Doctor An's power to hand over Anshi.  This is the first achievement of the Cheng and Die La tribes. We have made great achievements without losing any blood, and the imperial court will not reward us. This is a great joy. Dr. An did not hesitate to lose his own face, and also asked Ye Chang to hand over part of the trade routes of the Andong Chamber of Commerce. From now on, Dr. An will be the leader.  The wealth is rolling in, and the rewards for you are bound to grow. This is double happiness. But you are looking like this. Could it be that you dislike the great achievements and the excessive money?" Hearing what he said, everyone was stunned.  I was stunned, and then someone started laughing.  Someone took the lead, and everyone gradually laughed. As for Hou Xiyi and Li Huaiyuwho among the dead would care about their feelings?  Even An Lushan showed a smile.  He felt that he had taken advantage of this transaction, and Ye Chang seemed to have gained certain benefits.  This agreement between the two parties can go forward in a short period of time. In the long run, I can continue to benefit from Ye Chang, and I can also take advantage of?Trade routes to influence Ye Chang¡¯s decision-making.  But he didn¡¯t know that Ye Chang had the same thought.  "It's a bargain for the fat cow of Anlu Mountain." After meeting the divers and returning to the boat, Wang Changling couldn't help but sigh: "The iron mines in Anshi City It's a pity, it's a pity." "It's a pity indeed, listen to the craftsmen.  As I said, the iron ore is not only large in quantity, but also contains a lot of iron. It would be great if it could be used by me," Cen Shen also said.  Zhang Hao smiled and said: "This is also impossible. If we start mining in Anshi Prefecture, we must control Anshi City. If we want to control Anshi City, we must ensure that the road from Anshi to Lushun is smooth. We must also control Anshi City."  Organize manpower to mine There are a lot of places that need people, but we are short of them." "It is exactly what Mr. Zhang said. Now that An Lushan is asked to mine for us, he has many people under his command, and he has tasted the benefits from selling the mines.  , we must coerce the surrounding tribes to work on mining and road construction. The surrounding tribes are oppressed by them, and they will naturally miss us who have made three chapters with them. In eight to ten years, when we are strong enough, we can take back Anshan where everything has been built.  It¡¯s Shizhou,¡± Ye Chang said.  This is a conspiracy, not a conspiracy. Even if An Lushan knew that Ye Chang was doing a long-term plan, he still had to swallow the bait thrown by Ye Chang, because this kind of trade would also have a great impact on An Lushan's ability to grow his own strength.  help.  But when it comes to civil affairs and development, Ye Chang firmly believes that he has advantages that no one in this era can match.  "I'm still a little worried in my heart. Anlushan controls a wider area and has a larger population. From this kind of trade, he will make greater profits than us." Cen Shen never spoke, but now he said: "Yes Sima is not worried.  "Speaking of this, you will know by comparing the contents of my barter with An Lushan." Ye Chang said: "You might as well compare and see what the difference is between the two."  The difference?" Everyone was stunned for a moment and looked at Ye Chang with some confusion.  Ye Chang did not rush to tell the answer, but let them think for themselves.  Wang Changling recommended Liu Yan to help him manage finances, but in fact Liu Yan was unlikely to work for him. Therefore, Ye Chang still hoped to cultivate financial management experts among the few literati in his hands.  But Ye Chang was a little disappointed. After waiting for a long time, neither Wang Changling, Cen Shen, nor Zhang Hao could figure out the essential difference between the two.  In their opinion, they are all materials, with different names and types, but these are only superficial differences. This is definitely not what Ye Chang wants to ask.  "We can't figure out what the difference is, Ye Sima, it's up to you to tell me." The three of them were a little arrogant as literati, so although they couldn't figure it out, they were unwilling to discuss it in a low voice. Zhang Hao asked directly.  Ye Chang looked at the rest of the people around him, but still no one could answer this question.  He sighed in his heart, but smiled to himself: "Without giving a hint, it is really hard to imagine that what I exchanged from Anlu Mountain were all raw materials, and what we exchanged for Anlu Mountain were all produced in the workshop.  Everyone was still a little confused, and Ye Chang was a little embarrassed, so he had to add: "If the finished products are grouped into one category, and the raw materials are grouped into one category, the price of the finished products will always be higher than the raw materials. Look at this kind of trade.  It seems fair, but in fact I took advantage of the price difference between the two to exploit An Lushan." At this point, everyone had their own thoughts, but how much did they think of Ye Chang's words?  , then only they themselves know.  At this time, Ye Chang couldn't help but miss Li Linfu, Yang Shenjin and others. If they heard what he said, they would suddenly realize it.
