    Wang Tianyun had his own plans in mind. From Ye Chang's tone these days, he heard that Ye Chang had no intention of staying in Jiannan for a long time.  And the current Jiannan Jiedu Envoy Yang Zhao will not stay in Jiannan for a long time.  Then, when Jiannan arrives, there will be a lot of empty spots.  Hearing his request for orders, Ye Chang just smiled: "Ge Luofeng has lost his courage. What he has to do now is no longer a frontal battle." Wang Tianyun was surprised. Seeing Ye Chang starting to eat again, he did not dare to say anything  What? After Ye Chang finished eating, he rode his horse and led the generals out of the camp.  They had not gone far when Ye Changjing pointed his horse whip to the southwest and said: "Look at this place. It is a fertile field for thousands of miles. It is cultivated and cultivated. There is no need to worry about food for 100,000 people." Others did not understand what he meant. Li Bai had a temper.  The most out of the blue, I suddenly thought of something and was shocked: "You want to build a city here?" "Exactly, if I use the policy of dividing the land in Liaodong and immigrate from Shu to the border, do you think this city can be built?  No? This location is probably where Kunming was in another life. However, the predecessor of Kunming was Tuodong City, which was built after Nanzhao stabilized its rule.  Come, if you want to completely solve the southwestern border problem, you should put the construction of Kunming on the agenda in advance. ¡°Building a city is not something that happens overnight¡± ¡°I know that I have 30,000 soldiers in my hands now, and there will be a large army to help.  With one person and one stone, the city began to take shape.  As for the expansion, we can leave it to future generations.  " "What the ambassador said is absolutely true.  "This southern Yunnan Ze is the Dianchi Lake. It has rich water and grass and is surrounded by a rare small basin. Therefore, it is absolutely possible to build a Han city here. "Brother Taibai, build a city, that will be a feat that will be remembered in history.  This kind of achievement is at your disposal, do you want it or not?  " Li Bai is very clear about his situation. At his age, even if his official career goes smoothly, he is unlikely to be in charge of the central government. So becoming a prince and being famous in history has become his political goal. I heard Ye Chang say this  , he perked up: ¡°What do you mean?  " How about leaving the affairs of this city to Taibai?"  "Perhaps due to the influence of another life, Ye Chang has always hoped to help Li Bai. Even though he knew that he was not suitable for daily affairs, Ye Chang did not hesitate to invite him to Jiannan. Although Li Bai did not really help him along the way,  Although he was busy, he wrote a lot of poems, most of which Ye Chang had never heard. Even if it was just for so many magnificent poems left by Li Bai, Ye Chang felt that it was worth bringing him here.  "Really really with me?  " Li Bai is not stupid, and he is very clear about Ye Chang's distrust of his actual abilities. Hearing Ye Chang say this, he couldn't help stuttering, pointing to the tip of his nose and saying: "Is it really me?  "Exactly, please Cai Zhihua to help you," Ye Chang said. "Where is the money and food? If there is enough money and food, I will build this city." Li Bai took a deep breath, and then said firmly. "The money and food will arrive soon."  " "Arrived soon?  "Everyone looked at each other. Cai Ming, who was next to him, couldn't help but interjected: "Ambassador, thisthe army's food and salary cannot be misappropriated." "How can we achieve anything by relying only on the army's food and salary?  Ye Chang smiled: "Zhihua, just rest assured, we will never embezzle the army's food and salary."  " "How about relying on these soldiers to build a city with stones?  " "No, the biggest role of sergeants is to fight. I will divide the sergeants into three groups. One group will continue to march westward, one group will help build the city, and one group will take turns to rest every two months.  "Ye Chang said. "What about manpower?  " "Of course it will be borne by the local people Zhihua, don't rush to give advice. Don't worry, I am not forcing them to serve, but relying on their own volition. Anyone who comes here can get money and food.  " As soon as Cai Ming heard that local people were going to be used to build the city, he immediately became anxious. There are few Han people and many barbarians near Nanze, Yunnan. Even some Han people are barbaric Han people. If they are really forced to perform labor service,  These people must have colluded with the barbarians, and even betrayed the Tang Dynasty. But Ye Chang seemed to see that he wanted to dissuade him, and spoke out his own method first. Giving money and food could not completely solve all the problems, but it could solve them.  It¡¯s not so intense, but it also raises a new question: Where does the money and food come from? ¡°Do you really have enough money and food to come here?  "Cai Ming asked. "Just don't worry. If there may be problems with other things, such as money and food, there is nothing Ye Shiyi can't do." Li Bai next to him smiled. His eyes sparkled, as if he had guessed.  What. "It seems that Taibai has confidence in me.  " "I already know how you did it.  Li Bai stared at Ye Chang: "Eleventh Lang, your grasp of people's hearts is really really unparalleled in the world."  Especially the businessman's heart I really admire, admireWhen he mentioned "merchant", Ye Chang knew that Li Bai really understood his plan.  A few days later, Yang Guozhong Mansion, Chengdu.  Since arriving in Chengdu, Yang Guozhong has been in a very bad mood. He wants to return to Chang'an every day, but he understands that as long as Li Linfu is in Chang'an for one day, he will not be able to go back so easily.  Every few days, he sends a letter to Chang'an. These letters do not go through the Ministry of War, but are sent directly to Li Longji's case through the channels of the Yang sisters.  And Yang Yuhuan and the Yang sisters also used every opportunity to think of ways to recall him to Chang'an.  The fact that Yang Zhao was driven out of Chang'an by Li Linfu was a huge blow to the Yang sisters. Those powerful people who originally shunned them now have the courage to compete with them.  "This is really nonsense." Yang Zhao, who was in a irritable mood, threw away the official document in his hand and cursed twice.  The servants around him were afraid to breathe, and the clerk who presented the official document was even more timid, fearing that Yang Zhao would offend him.  "Why is the minister angry?" At this time, the only one who can speak is Xianyu Zhongtong.  The relationship between Xianyu Zhongtong and Yang Zhao was extraordinary. Although Yang Zhao was implicated because of Xianyu Zhongtong's defeat at this time, Yang Zhao still kept him in the mansion for the sake of old kindness, which was regarded as a crime and meritorious service.  "Look, he is really messing around. He went to the southern part of Yunnan to build a city He still doesn't think it's right or wrong?"  People, knowing that there are hundreds of miles of fertile wilderness in southern Yunnan, it is appropriate to build a city in Zedong, which will be the cornerstone of the Tang Dynasty's control of Yunnan.  In Ye Chang's plan, two large cities will be built in Yunnan, one in Zedong, southern Yunnan, and one in the west of Erhai Lake. The two cities are at the corners of each other, and the Han people from the mainland will be moved in, and then they will be close to the mature barbarians who obey the Tang Dynasty.  To help, sugar cane was planted everywhere and sucrose was boiled.  "To the east of Zedong in southern Yunnanthat is Kunchuan, and to the west of Erhai Lakeis Taihe City. These two locations are indeed the most suitable places for farming and living in Yunnan. If we can really get these two cities, how can we comfort them?"  If the mountains are barbaric, Yunnan will always be the prefecture of Tang Dynasty." After reading this, Xianyu Zhongtong said with a faint smile.  He served in Jiannan for several years, and also launched troops against Nanzhao. You don't need to look at the map to know where these places are. Hearing what he said, Yang Zhao said dissatisfiedly: "Xianyu Gong, do you really think so?" "The plan is  It¡¯s a good plan, but it¡¯s just talk on paper.¡±  "Erxiong Pass is the heart of Nanzhao. How can it be easily obtained?" "Do you think Ye Chang is no match for Ge Luofeng?" "I supervised 60,000 elite soldiers, but they were harmed by Nanzhao's conspiracy and suffered a defeat. Ye Chang only suffered a defeat."  "What can you do with 30,000 troops?" "You are not optimistic about this battle?" "Of course I am not, I heard that he has done a lot of things in Liaodong, but this place is not Liaodong, but it is slightly colder, and winter comes earlier.  That's all, but Yunnan is a land of miasma and poisonous insects. In my initial defeat, nearly half of the sergeants were killed or injured because of miasma. Although there are some mountains in Liaodong, they are not as high as Yunnan and the roads are dangerous. Our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty can fight in Liaodong, but not in Yunnan.  The ground is not level and the roads are not straight, no matter how many troops there are, it is useless. The barbarians grow here, and they are like apes when climbing over the mountains"  The analysis is extremely accurate.  Yang Zhao, who was in an irritable mood, felt that what he said made sense the more he listened, and this feeling made him even more irritable: If Ye Chang cannot win, doesn't it mean that he, the Jiannan Jiedushi, will continue to be the governor?  At this time, he suddenly remembered the situation when Li Linfu did not stop him from pulling Ye Chang into the water, and even vaguely pushed him.  Perhaps Li Linfu thought of this at that time. If Ye Chang wins, it is Li Linfu's son-in-law who has made meritorious service. If Ye Chang loses, it is he, the person who recommended Ye Chang, who takes the blame.  He recommended Xian Yu Zhongtong but Xian Yu Zhongtong failed, recommended Ye Chang but Ye Chang failed again. If this is true, Ye Chang's future will be bleak, and his Yang Zhao's great future will also be ruined here.  "Stop talking." "Sir, it doesn't matter if I don't talk, but you have to make preparations early, I'm afraid it won't be long before you have to clean up the mess," Xianyu Zhongtong said again.  He himself had been losing for a while, so naturally he didn't want to see Ye Chang win easily, and he felt a little bit cursed in his heart. "Get ready" "Servant, Minister," Yang Zhao hadn't finished speaking, and there were rapid footsteps and shouts from outside, and then,  Someone walked in quickly.  "Cui Sima, what's the matter?" The person who came was Cui Yuan, Zuo Sima of the Shu County Governor's Office. He was originally a member of Li Linfu's subordinate Xiao Jiong, but after seeing that Yang Zhao had the potential to replace Li Linfu, he switched to Yang Zhao's sect.  Gain Yang Zhao's credit.  This time Yang Zhao came to Shu with not many followers.? is one of them.  "Good news, good news." Cui Yuan rushed in excitedly and handed over a feather letter in his hand: "Ambassador Ye defeated Zhao Man in Kunchuan, beheaded 3,000 people and captured 5,000 alive. The traitor Ge Luofeng has benefited himself.  "Ning retreat" "What?" Yang Zhao and Xian Yu Zhongtong both lost their voices.  Just now, Xian Yu Zhongtong was still saying that Ye Chang would be defeated, but before he had a cup of tea, Cui Yuan presented the news of Ye Chang's victory. This sudden turn of events seemed to be specially designed to slap Xian Yu Zhongtong in the face.  Come to normal.  "It's impossible, it doesn't make sense A big victory?" Xianyu Zhongtong murmured, then stretched out his hand to Cui Yuan: "Bring it to me." Cui Yuan did not give it to him, but looked at Yang Zhao,  With Yang Zhao's permission, the good news was handed over to Xianyu Zhongtong.  The victory report is very simple. It is nothing more than when and where to fight the barbarians, behead as many as possible and capture as many as possible. Other things are not mentioned at all. This is Ye Chang's consistent style.  After Xian Yu Zhongtong read it, he sneered: "I see, that's it." Yang Zhao took the battle report and started to read it. Cui Yuan over there was a little curious: "Does Xian Yu Gong know something?" "Such a good report, I am also in Chengdu.  You can make eight out of ten copies." Xianyu Zhongtong curled his lips and said: "How can the barbarians be so easy to defeat? They are just pretending to be successful." "Ye Chang will not pretend to be successful." Yang Zhao also quickly looked at it.  After hearing the good news, Xian Yu Zhongtong said this, and he was a little unhappy.  Xianyu Zhongtong's face turned purple, and before he could say anything else, Yang Zhao said again: "I have been dating Ye Chang for many years. Although he has some wild imaginations, when it comes to numbers, he strives to be detailed. If someone else's success is reported, he will never get it.  The numbers are so accurate that if he says he wins, then he must winOkay, okay, just win." What he said made Xianyu Zhongtong's face turn red, white, and purple. Cui Yuan looked at it and wanted to laugh, but in the end he didn't.  Laugh out loud.  "Okay, okay, now that Nanzhao has withdrawn from the Southern Yunnan Ze, at least the construction of the city in the Southern Yunnan Ze can be started Haha, Ye Chang is indeed Ye Chang. I was really right to bring him here." Yang  Zhao read the good news again and then laughed.  Although he had made an appointment before, how could he not take advantage of this great achievement? Perhaps with this good news, Li Longji was so happy that he directly promoted Ye Chang to be the envoy of Jiannan Festival, and he could take the opportunity to come from  Escape from Shu "We can start preparing to build a city in southern Yunnan. Cui Sima, you know both military and political strategies. You can arrange everything necessary for building the city." "Wait a minute, Minister, I'm afraid this won't be easy." Xianyu Zhongtong  At this time, he spoke again.  "Why did you say this?" "Southern Yunnan is a barbaric land, and the people will not be willing to move here. Moreover, Ye Chang just said that there are merchants who will prepare a supply of supplies for him Merchants are all profit-seekers.  , Why would you take such a risk to go to Yunnan to help him prepare for this matter?" Yang Zhao nodded slightly when he heard this.  No matter how Ye Chang tries, unless he is willing to post all the profits from the Anton Chamber of Commerce, how can he possibly attract those merchants to work for him?  But if all the profits of the Anton Chamber of Commerce are posted, those Chang'an dignitaries who are counting on the Chamber of Commerce's dividends may immediately turn from his allies to his enemies, and may even find ways to seize control of the Anton Chamber of Commerce from him.  Go "Besides, building a city thousands of miles away is a waste of people and money. I'm afraid that the civil uprising will happen before the city is built. Minister Yang, you'd better be prepared for contingency. If Ye Chang insists on going his own way, I'm afraid of the disaster in Shu, not just in Nanzhao."  "I would like to inform you, Minister, that there are 16 shopkeepers outside who want to see you. They say that they want to help the officers and soldiers take over the land in Yunnan. At the request of Ambassador Ye, I came here specially to serve." As soon as Xianyu Zhong finished talking, such a voice came from outside,  Xianyu Zhongtong's mouth opened wide, while Yang Zhao and Cui Yuan looked at him with strange eyes. "Absolutely impossible," Xianyu Zhongtong shouted.
