    "Anxi Chamber of Commerce" "Is what Ye Zhongcheng said true or false? Did he really set up the Andong Chamber of Commerce?" "I heard that Hu merchants who travel to Chang'an said that the Andong Chamber of Commerce is amazing. They even have a shop called Anxi Chamber of Commerce.  The East Bank issues flying money. Just a piece of paper can be used all over the world. Even in our Qiuci, you can use the paper to exchange for copper coins and silk.  Ye Chang mobilized, and everyone was talking and exchanging opinions with each other.  The more people talk about it, the more widely spread the news about Ye Chang running the Andong Chamber of Commerce, and the more legendary it becomes.  In particular, the noble ladies in Chang'an City initially supported Ye Chang's side strategies. They all took out their private money and dowry and turned them into gold to help Ye Chang. This was a bit more romantic.  When everyone looked at Ye Chang again, the doubts and suspicions in their eyes were gone, replaced by a kind of enthusiasm for the shiny copper coins.  During the Tang Dynasty, there were not so many bad customs of empty talk about benevolence and righteousness in later generations. Everyone traveled thousands of miles to defend the border, wasn't it just to strive for wealth?  Ye Chang is the protector of Anxi and has the ability to make money. Wouldn't it be possible to become rich and wealthy by following him?  Especially those generals who had occupied the farmland. At this moment, they thought about it, occupying the farmland was a violation of law and discipline after all, and they collected thousands of stones of grain a year, which could only be converted into dozens of copper coins. How could they compare?  Is it worth listening to Ye Chang¡¯s possible income from the Anxi Chamber of Commerce?  "When I first arrived, everyone may suspect that what I said is untrue. As far as I know, Anxi has at least a few things that are far better than Liaodong. One of them is Jinshan. Why is Jinshan so named? Because gold can be mined. Nowadays, private  There are many collectors and few controls. The first thing I did was to bring this golden mountain under the management of the Anxi Chamber of Commerce. Secondly, the climate is suitable for cotton production. Although the value of cotton cloth is not as good as it was a few years ago, it is still profitable. As long as you have cotton.  Weaving cotton cloth; third, it can smelt steel. The name of Kucha Steel has long been known in the Western Regions, and I have a method of making steel, which is better than Kucha Steel; fourth, transportation is convenient and suitable for trade. Since ancient times, business travelers have traveled to and from the  Anxi is a place where goods flow from China to foreign countries. Countless people there are as rich as the enemy. Today we are guarding this important trade route. How can we return empty-handed? Fifth, it is suitable for grazing. The north and south of the Tianshan Mountains are rich in water and grass. You can make huge profits by grazing cattle, horses, sheep and pigs"  Ye Chang talked about it one by one. In fact, there wasn't much new stuff, but it was all combined with the actual situation in Anxi. Previously, these sergeants didn't know how to manage, so they could only live in vain. Now when they heard Ye Chang talk about it, they couldn't help but  I was very excited and felt that what Ye Chang said was very reasonable.  Wei Boyu next to him woke up from the fanatical atmosphere at this time. Watching Ye Chang talk freely, he almost fell to the ground in admiration.  After Ye Chang finished speaking, all the sergeants cheered, their voices rising to the sky, which shocked the officers and soldiers of the Tianwei Army outside the camp, and their expressions changed.  "Wei Boyu, what are you waiting for? Take people quickly and search Bi Sichen's house for me." Ye Chang turned to Wei Boyu again.  "After Ye Zhongcheng's words, the military morale is now gone. Even one or two of Bi Sichen's cronies can't do anything at this time. They are even more worried about whether they will be regarded as Bi Sichen's accomplices and their homes will be ransacked together I have to be careful in handling things.  If you are beautiful, you won't have to worry about wealth." Wei Boyu made up his mind, responded loudly, and then led the people away. He had been in the army for a long time, so he also had many close friends. In the blink of an eye,  More than a hundred people followed him and left.  "Wei Boyu has gone to do some work. Is there anyone among you who can be used by me?" Ye Chang asked again.  A man with purple beard and eyes stood out from the crowd and said loudly: "Wei Boyu is no better than me. If An is better than me, I am willing to work for Zhongcheng." His accent had a clear Hu tone, and everyone was in awe after he came out.  Compared to Wei Boyu just now, he was even quieter, and everyone nodded, proving that he was indeed someone whom everyone believed in.  Ye Chang was secretly surprised. He looked him up and down and saw that his appearance was quite un-Han. He smiled and said: "You Hu'er, you know that you are working for China. Who is his name?" "Yes, that's Bai Xiaode."  The man said excitedly: "The emperor does not regard the barbarians as an exception. He selects generals, breaks the formation and seizes the city. Why does the Prime Minister underestimate someone because he is a barbarian?" Ye Chang was stunned. He was indeed a little dissatisfied with the barbarians.  Trust, when I heard Bai Xiaode's criticism, my heart trembled. This is Anxi. Although there are many Han people, the majority are Hu people. If you can't use the Hu people, it will be very difficult for you to gain a foothold here.  Thinking of this, he cupped his hands and said, "It was my fault for underestimating a strong man, and I should apologize to you. Although you may look like a fool, but your heart is really Han, I shouldn't look down on you." He solemnly admitted his mistake, and everyone looked at each other, only to  I feel that this Ye Zhongcheng is good at speaking, humble and easy-going, and he is even happier.  Ye Chang called Bai Xiaode forward and said: "I came here in a hurry. I didn't bring any personal soldiers, and I was afraid that I might be taken advantage of by traitors. Therefore, I sent someone to Suiye first and mobilized five hundred horsemen of Tianwei Army to accompany me."  Now that I have you, I have nothing to worry about. I will keep the mighty troops stationed in Suiye. However, it is very hard for them to travel back and forth. You can follow my military orders and go to find a camp for them elsewhere. Allow them to rest for three days before setting off.  Leave. Yang'er, you go with General Bai to greet him. Wang Yang'er was stunned. If he followed him out again, only Shanzhi would be left beside Ye Chang.After saying yes, he and Bai Xiaode went out.  "The rest of the sergeants ordered the kitchen to kill the sheep and cook the meat. Alcohol is not prohibited in the army today, but drunken people are not allowed to leave the camp," Ye Chang said again.  The troops even cheered, saying that Ye Zhongcheng was a good man.  Li Sheng was waiting outside with 500 powerful troops from heaven. For a long time after seeing Ye Chang enter the barracks, noises could be heard from time to time inside, but then cheers could be heard again.  After a while, I saw a young general coming out happily with more than a hundred people. He ignored them and left directly.  He originally wanted to stop someone and ask about the situation inside, but when he thought of Ye Chang's warning not to act rashly, he hesitated.  After a while, I saw Wang Yang'er leading more than ten soldiers out. The leader of the soldiers was very majestic with round eyes and purple beard. Wang Yang'er was originally very powerful, but in terms of appearance, he was not as good as this man.  .  "Yang'er, how's the situation inside?" he asked nervously.  "Very good, Ye Zhongcheng has bought everyone here." Wang Yang'er curled his lips and said.  He felt a little unhappy in his heart. He was a brave general, and his emphasis was on the three-in-three-out movement of the sword. However, Ye Chang arrived at the Anxi military camp, and with just a few words and some promises, he convinced all the Anxi troops.  He couldn't understand this kind of ability, so he could only think that Ye Chang had bought the entire Anxi Army with his Kaiyuan Tongbao.  Bai Xiaode's face turned slightly red. Wang Yang'er's words were harsh but hit the nail on the head.  However, he also had his own thoughts. Although he was brave, he was not just a reckless person. Ye Chang specially ordered him to come out to entertain the Tianwei Army. He obviously valued this army very much, so he smiled and said: "Ye Zhongcheng said that you have come from afar for your hard work.  , I have made great contributions and must be rewarded. Now I am preparing wine and meat, and I have also asked you to set up a barracks. Please take a break." Li Sheng looked at him and couldn't change his mind: Ye Chang only brought two people in.  , how to solve the problem?  These Anxi troops were still on the verge of mutiny just now. Not only was he confused, Li Wan in the distance also couldn't figure out what was going on. He only felt that Ye Chang was like a magician from Tochar, with a certain  Only the hands of Yun Huanyu changed the situation. After he separated from Ye Chang in the restaurant, he still paid attention to the matter. First, Bi Sichen led the troops to pursue him. At that time, he was worried. As a result, Bi Sidao led a hundred people out without warning.  He was captured by Ye Chang with just one arrow, and the mighty Tianwei army appeared beside Ye Chang, which made Li Wan understand that Ye Chang was not without confidence when he came here.  But Ye Chang dared to break into the Anxi army's camp of thousands of people with his five hundred powerful troops. After arriving, he only took three people with him and went deep into the hostile military camp, which made Li Wan terrified.  At the same time, I also secretly admired him.  If nothing else, Ye Chang can be described as "full of courage".  He was originally thinking about how to rescue Ye Chang from the military camp and whether to ask Cheng Qianli, but in the blink of an eye, the matter was solved.  He really had too many questions in his mind, so he came over at this moment, grabbed a soldier of the Tianwei Army and said, "Brother, I have something to ask you."  Yan smiled.  "Does your Tianwei Army have any friendship with Ye Zhongcheng?" When he asked, he was not far from Li Sheng, Bai Xiaode and others, and Bai Xiaode also pricked up his ears to listen.  The old soldier slapped his leg: "Isn't it just friendship?" "Oh?" "I don't know how many people in the Tianwei Army were saved by Ye Zhongcheng." The old soldier said in surprise: "I don't know how many brothers who left the army went to  He defected to Ye Zhongcheng, and now he is a rich man. Hearing what he said, Li Wan and Bai Xiaode felt confused, but Li Sheng coughed, a little embarrassed. When he first arrived at the Tianwei Army, he had a very bad impression of Ye Chang.  Unfortunately, for this reason, he was once squeezed out by the Tianwei Army. Therefore, he personally experienced Ye Chang's reputation in this army.  He joined the army, rushed to the Longyou River, and defeated the Quan Rong army, and became friends with this army. More importantly, he improved the military medical system in the army, implemented liquor disinfection, sanitation and epidemic prevention systems, and experimented on human subjects with the Quan Rong people.  Target, I don¡¯t know how many wounded soldiers¡¯ lives were saved. During the battle of Ge Shuhan¡¯s storming of Shibao City, there were many casualties, but with Ye Chang¡¯s improved military medical system, thousands of wounded soldiers¡¯ lives were saved. Naturally, these soldiers  This is attributed to Ye Chang. Then Ye Chang recruited disabled old orphans in the army, and he did not hesitate to conflict with Wei Jian's son for their sake. From then on, most of the people who left the Tianwei army went to Liaodong, where they were formerly known as Pao Zezhi.  Friendship, the way out for retirement in the future, everyone in the Tianwei Army will not regard Ye Chang as an outsider. "It turns out that this military medical system was founded by Ye Zhongcheng." Hearing this, Bai Xiaode couldn't help but slap his thigh, his eyes sparkling.  : "If I had said it earlier, we would have to obey Ye Zhongcheng's orders regardless of whether Ye Zhongcheng should set up the Anxi Chamber of Commerce." The words were so beautiful that everyone laughed. At this time, Ye Chang was in the military camp and was accepting the request.  The soldiers saluted and he comforted them one by one, but it only took a moment.Then he took control of the big and small military leaders.  After the soldiers dispersed, they all excitedly discussed the changes that Ye Chang might bring about. At this moment, they heard word from outside that Cheng Qianli, the deputy governor of Anxi, had arrived.  Ye Chang smiled, he is the Chief Protector of Anxi, and Cheng Qianli is the Deputy Protector. Judging from his position, Cheng Qianli is his deputy.  However, Cheng Qianli has never come to see him these days. Obviously, Cheng Qianli is very afraid of Gao Xianzhi.  He heard that Gao Xianzhi commented that Cheng Qianli has a "face like a man, but a heart like a woman." Although it is inevitably biased, it can be seen that Cheng Qianli is indeed troubled by trivial matters and cannot make quick decisions.  "Please come and meet me." He ordered: "Come with me to welcome you." The military leaders surrounding him couldn't help but be a little surprised. Today, Ye Chang first killed Zheng Dequan and then tied up Bi Sichen with ruthless means.  It's spicy, and it doesn't save Gao Xianzhi's face at all, but he has some respect for the Deputy Protector Cheng Qianli.  When Ye Chang arrived at the gate of the Chinese army camp, he saw Cheng Qianli hurriedly coming with dozens of soldiers. He stood still and looked at each other with a smile.  When Cheng Qianli saw him from a distance, he hurried forward, then knelt down on one knee and bowed: "Cheng Qianli, deputy governor of Anxi, I am here to pay my respects to Zhongcheng." Seeing that he was very respectful, Ye Chang knew that he was in the military camp.  What he did had already reached his ears.  Immediately, he walked forward quickly and helped him up: "Mr. Cheng, there is no need to be polite. Come on, I have something to discuss with Mr. Cheng." After Cheng Qianli stood up, his heart skipped a beat when he heard what he said.  He quietly glanced at Ye Chang and saw that almost all the military leaders Gao Xianzhi had left in Qiuci were now following Ye Chang, and their attitude towards Ye Chang was even more respectful than towards Gao Xianzhi.  He sighed secretly in his heart: It's indeed a good method. Although Gao Gong is a great man, but when he meets this man, he may not be his match. He knows the way of being an official very well. The first priority for border generals like them is not to be able to fight.  But he has enough connections in the court.  Behind Gao Xianzhi is Gao Lishi, and Ge Shuhan is now closely related to Yang Zhao. Cheng Qianli has sufficient qualifications and merits in Anxi, but he did not compete with Gao Xianzhi when he was competing for the Jiedushi of Anxi. The reason is that there is no big boss support in the court.  .  But the young chief officer in front of him is a figure who can almost compete with Gao Lishi and Yang Zhao. In the heart of the emperor, he is also an indispensable minister.  Therefore, although he was domineering and acted boldly on the frontier, the emperor could only suppress his officials and send him to travel here and there, but he never said that he would be held responsible.  "I heard that Bi Sichen was causing trouble and wanted to harm Zhongcheng, but I got the news too late and couldn't come in time. Please forgive me. Bi Sichen has been in the army for a long time and must have allies. He is willing to investigate for Zhongcheng.  To avoid future troubles," Cheng Qianli said.  This is to draw a clear line with Bi Sichen and show loyalty to Ye Chang.  Ye Chang said with a smile: "Bi Sichen is a general in the army. I am not good at killing him and will escort him back to the capital. He is the culprit. The others are just coerced by him and do not need to be held accountable. Besides, the military situation is urgent now, and I rely on Duke Cheng.  There is no need to be distracted by such trivial matters." "Military situation?" Cheng Qianli was shocked again.
