    In the Luoyang City Football Club, Wang Yuanbao, who had lost half a circle, looked surprised and looked at the person standing in front of him with a half-bow: "Are you sure it is indeed Ye Chang?" "Yes, I can confirm it" Wang  Yuan Bao put down the tea cup in his hand, stood up and walked slowly around the room.  Because Luoyang Football City¡¯s New Year¡¯s League is about to begin, that¡¯s why he appears here.  When his foundation glass industry was in trouble due to the impact of glass, the importance of the football market became more and more apparent. Even if the majority of the profits from the football market were taken away by the powerful families such as Princess Yuzhen, the remaining part is of great significance to the current situation.  For him, it is also indispensable.  Not many people know that Wang Yuanbao, who was once extremely wealthy, is now in a bad situation.  The reason for this bad situation is all because of the name he mentioned just now, Ye Chang.  "I just came from Chang'an, and I have never heard that the saint wants to summon Ye Changjin Then he is leaving his post without permission during this trip." Wang Yuanbao thought to himself.  "Just leaving one's post without permission is not a big mistake. With Ye Chang's backstage and the degree of trust he has in Li Longji, such a mistake would at most result in a fine of some money."  However, Wang Yuanbao was thinking about something deeper: why Ye Chang quietly left his job.  Since his confidant Wang Yu and the naval general Cheng Fangyuan arranged by Yang Hui disappeared in the vast sea, Wang Yuanbao has lost most of his confidence in finding the Aolai Kingdom.  He understood that Wang Juan and Cheng Fangyuan were most likely plotted by Ye Chang, but because there was no evidence, he could not do anything about Ye Chang.  In his opinion, he and Ye Chang had a deep hatred. The last time he took the initiative to "show kindness" to Ye Chang, he was not forgiven by Ye Chang. In this case, if he had the opportunity to completely end Ye Chang  , he will never give up.  "What was the atmosphere between the two of them at that time?" Wang Yuanbao asked again.  "At first, the two were chatting and laughing, but not long after, Ye Chang stood up to say goodbye. When the two left, Yang Gongchai whispered something, and Ye Chang also whispered back - judging from their expressions,  It seemed that they broke up on bad terms. "Wang Yuanbao was moved when he heard this. It seemed that there was something wrong. "Ye Chang secretly returned to Luoyang this time and did not make a big splash like before. This proves that he  He wanted to return to the Central Plains in a low-key manner to do something. Yang Shenming had his own considerations, but he welcomed Ye Chang with great fanfare, which made Ye Chang unhappy because it might ruin his plan.  , was not happy, broke out on the spot, and made Yang Shenming unhappy" "It has to be said that there is indeed a reason why Wang Yuanbao became the leading wealthy businessman in the Tang Dynasty at this time, and he actually relied on only a few clues.  He made a pretty good guess about the situation at that time.  "Let's make some arrangements. I want to see Mr. Yang." He changed his mind and ordered.  Yang Shenming didn't take Wang Yuanbao's request for an audience to heart. Although Wang Yuanbao was waiting in front of his house early the next morning, he didn't see Yang Shenming until the evening.  Wang Yuanbao was not surprised by this. When it came to his status and family status, Yang Shen had a noble name, which was rare in the world, and his reputation was also very high. It was natural to feel proud of himself.  "I don't know why Mr. Wang is here?" Yang Shenming looked a little defeated. He forced himself to talk to him: "Is there something wrong with the football market?" "How can there be anything wrong under Mr. Yang's rule?"  "Okay." Wang Yuanbao smiled and cupped his hands. From Yang Shenming's expression, he further confirmed that Yang and Ye did break up on bad terms last night.  "Then the king is here today?" "The villain got a piece of news and came here to report it to Duke Yang." Wang Yuanbao said: "I heard that a general from the imperial court left his post without authorization and entered the Central Plains, hiding evil intentions." Yang Shenming frowned.  , looking at Wang Yuanbao, his eyes suddenly became cold: "Wang Weng, what exactly do you want to say?" "I have been ordered by a noble man to cooperate with Mr. Yang." Wang Yuanbao smiled lightly: "This noble man  "The relationship with Mr. Li is also very close." Yang Shenming's gaze softened when he heard that he mentioned Li Linfu: "Who is it?" "Princess Xianyi's consort Yang Hui is an acquaintance of Mr. Yang." Yang Shenming immediately sat down.  He straightened his body and his heart suddenly jumped.  "How to cooperate?" "Of course it's the side general who left his post without permission. I guess Yang Gong didn't know it yet. Li Xianggong was already very dissatisfied with that side general. It was previously rumored that he would be rewarded for his meritorious service, but until now it has been delayed.  "That's proof." "How do you know this?" Yang Shenming was startled and stood up and asked.  Wang Yuanbao smiled and said nothing.  He knows this, so he naturally has his own channels. Yang Hui's side is one of the channels. There is also a secret channel, but others don't know about it.  But what Li Linfu¡¯s true intentions are, even Yang Hui and his other secret channel are not completely sure, so they have repeatedlyWarn him and tell him not to act rashly.  But now there is a chance. "Is this true?" Yang Shenming asked again with a serious expression.  "It's absolutely true. He sneaked into Luoyang incognito and quietly, and he should have come here for this matter." Yang Shenming suddenly realized it, and immediately secretly regretted it in his heart.  He only said that Ye Chang was valued by Li Linfu, and the rumors in the market were even more conclusive, saying that Li Linfu intended to recruit Ye Chang as his son-in-law, so he invited Ye Chang to come with great fanfare, in order to show his close relationship with Li Linfu's confidants.  At the same time, he wanted to use Ye Chang to show his closeness and friendship to Li Linfu.  But he never thought that now Li Linfu was disgusted with Ye Chang. The more Yang Shenming thought about it, the more regretful he became: originally he wanted to please Li Linfu, but ended up offending Li Linfu. At the same time, he was a little lucky: Fortunately, Ye Chang was very dissatisfied with his high-profile move at the time.  He even left the table angrily, and the two broke up unhappy.  He did not doubt Wang Yuanbao's words. If the source of the information was Yang Hui, it would not be surprising if he knew Li Linfu's intentions.  After all, Li Linfu once teamed up with Yang Hui to kill the former prince. The relationship between the two was unusual. People like Yang Shenming, whose family has been at the center of power for a long time, naturally knew it very well.  "Wang Weng told me this news, I think he has a purpose" Yang Shenming pondered for a while, looked up at Wang Yuanbao, and his expression softened slightly: "I don't know" "Please tell Mr. Yang about this matter, don't do anything for it.  Just keep it secret." Wang Yuanbao said, "I'll report it as soon as possible. As for the rest, I don't dare to bother Mr. Yang." After he finished speaking, he stared at Yang Shenming, waiting for Yang Shenming's response.  .  Wang Yuanbao now knows the current situation of the Yang family and Yang Shenming's plans.  Yang Shenjin was the core of the Yang family. After being recognized by Li Linfu, he quickly became a promising new star in the center of the Tang Dynasty, and there were even vague rumors that he would be the prime minister.  But this violated Li Linfu's taboo, so the relationship between the two parties quickly cooled down.  Yang Shenjin himself was not aware of it yet, but Yang Shenming, who was far away in Luoyang, had already discovered this.  "Wang Weng should find someone else for this matter." Yang Shen said after hesitating for a while.  Wang Yuanbao was startled. He looked up at Yang Shenming and found that his expression was very firm. Without waiting for Wang Yuanbao's response, Yang Shenming stood up and said, "See you off." "Mr. Yang," Wang Yuanbao called, but Yang Shen  Ming ignored him and walked directly into the back room behind him. Wang Yuanbao followed him for two steps, but was stopped by the housekeeper of Yang Mansion.  "My lord, please come back first. My master has already seen off the guests. Could it be that your lord didn't hear clearly?" the steward said with open arms.  Wang Yuanbao was stunned for a moment, and gradually felt something bad in his heart. Things didn't seem to go as smoothly as he thought.  In his opinion, now that Yang Shenming needs to repair his relationship with Li Linfu, he should jump out to criticize Ye Chang, who is dissatisfied with Li Linfu. He just asked him to do this, but he refused so flatly, which is really unreasonable.  But it would be best if Yang Shenming takes action. If he doesn't take action, Wang Yuanbao is not afraid that no one can help him. Not long after Wang Yuanbao left Yang Mansion, he rode a fast horse and galloped out again, heading towards Chang'an City.  Not long after leaving Luoyang City, the fast horse saw a group of people, also heading west.  Ye Chang was among this team of people.  Yang Shenming made a big show of it intentionally or unintentionally, which completely disrupted his plan, but this was not the main reason for his attack on the spot. What was more important was that Yang Shenming wanted to take advantage of him but had not yet been honest with him.  This little incident that happened in Luoyang city forced him to change his itinerary. Instead of staying in Luoyang, he rushed to Chang'an early the next morning.  "Bah" Ye An spat after taking a mouthful of dust, stared at the knight who was going away and cursed in a low voice.  Ye Chang did not pay attention to this, but looked at the farmland on both sides.  This place is still near Luoyang. In the fields on both sides of the road, farmers are farming.  Looking around, the fields are vast, the villages are faint, and it looks like an idyllic scenery.  "The Central Plains is the heart of the Tang Dynasty. When Tianbao was first introduced, this area was somewhat neglected due to the construction of canals. However, it has recovered somewhat in the past two years." Cen Shen said with a smile: "The people live in peace and contentment, and the times are prosperous.  Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a group of aggressive people on the official road ahead, holding sticks and sticks, and some holding hoes and shovels, and rushed straight into a field beside the road, shouting and waving their hands.  Tools, after a while, the green wheat seedlings in the field were all messed up. The farmers in the field were probably frightened by this group of people. They didn't react at all at first, and then they rushed over.  As a result, he was held up by the whistle stick and fell to the ground. The farmers nearby also gathered together, and when they tried to stop him, they were scattered with a stick, but they were not dispersed.  They left, but gathered on the road a little further away, blocking the road so that Ye Chang and his party could not move forward.Ye Chang frowned, stopped his horse and stopped to watch.  More and more farmers gathered there, and soon dozens of people gathered. The number was much larger than those who shoveled seedlings, and they crowded in again.  The two sides began to quarrel, and when they saw that they were about to fight, Ye Chang had to rush to Chang'an in time. Where could they wait for a victory or defeat, he ordered Ye An to step forward to clear the way.  The people confronting him over there saw Ye Chang and more than twenty followers, and one of them shouted: "Let this passing gentleman comment." They came over in a noisy way, and Shanzhi suddenly became alert.  "This gentleman, please give us your opinion." One person shouted: "My master decides what he wants to plant in his land. These mud legs are so unreasonable that they dare to prevent my master from planting crops. "Here  It is clear that the tenants are farming with us, and we have not defaulted on the land rent, so why are we not allowed to farm?  ¡°It¡¯s not that farming is forbidden, I¡¯m just asking you not to grow wheat¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t grow wheat, what will you eat?¡± Amidst all the chatter, the two parties in the dispute did not explain the problem clearly at all.  Although Ye Chang was a nosy person, he couldn't help but feel dizzy at this moment. Ye An shouted a few times to quiet them down, and each of them named a leader to speak. After a while, two elders came forward.  "One is wearing silk and satin and looks to be in good condition, while the other is wearing linen and patched.  Ye Chang felt some sympathy for the patcher, so he asked him to speak first.  "The little people are the farmers here. They planted the Song family's fields as tenants and the wheat grew, but they have to shovel the wheat away. What do you think the little people will eat in the autumn?" The farmer who was patching the patch said with a sad face:  "The villains are not ignorant, but" "This was originally our Song family's field. Planting wheat and rice is naturally decided by our Song family." Before the farmer could finish speaking, the man in silk began to  He shouted: "When we collect the land rent, we won't charge you more, but you wait and don't obey. You really don't know what is good or bad." People on both sides spoke vaguely. Ye Chang didn't like the man wearing silk, so he frowned and asked.  He said: "What do you mean by land rent?" "Every acre of harvest is rented at 30%." The man wearing silk said: "Young Master travels all over the world and is well-informed. You should know that this rent is fair.  And there is no quota. As long as they are diligent, they can get more for their hard work." This rent is indeed relatively fair in this era. Some tenants can pay half of the harvest.  However, Ye Chang was partial to the farmer in his heart, and immediately said with a smile: "In that case, they will not give you 30% of the rent. You just have to harvest it when the time comes, and you don't care what they plant?" "Exactly, Lang Jun has seen a lot.  "Wide knowledge!" The farmers suddenly started shouting.  When the silk wearer heard this, he immediately became unhappy and said, "What Mr. Lang said is wrong. The field belongs to my family, and it is up to my family to decide what to plant. Now that rice and wheat can be transported from the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers, what benefits can be gained from growing rice and wheat?  "They grow cotton, but they don't." "Growing cotton?" Ye Chang originally favored the farmers, but when he heard the word "cotton", his expression changed: "Is it the kapok that weaves white cloth?" "Exactly.  These idiots don't know, but you should know how expensive the white folded cloth is on the market today. One acre of kapok generates the same income as four or five acres of wheat. My family only charges 30% of the rent. If we don't grow cotton, there will be no income.  Wheat, how stupid is that?" Ye Chang was a little stunned. He turned around and said to the farmers: "What he said makes sense. Nowadays, cotton is expensive and wheat is cheap. If you plant kapok, you will gain more, so why don't you plant it?  " Without waiting for the farmer's response, the man in silk smiled and said: "Mr. Lang is indeed well-informed. That's the truth.
